Ria's Writing Corner
Inside and Outside
Chapter 20
Me and Micheal turned around. "YOU!" I pointed. It was that keese-dude. He was different though. He looked more human than bat. He smiled and nodded. I raised an eyebrow. "What's going on?" I put my hands on my hips. Micheal pointed towards Death Mountain. "LOOK!" Micheal grabbed my shoulder and forced me in that direction. "hmm..?" Death's Mountain smoke was changing from gray to a dark black. "WHAT THE.." I squinted. I don't know why but soemthingf told me to rurn my head. Boy was I glad that that voice told me to. The guy was just about to stab Micheal in the back. "HEY!" I grabbed the dagger's sharp end. That's when Micheal turned around. "OH..jeez.." Micheal backed up. "You were going to kill me!" Micheal growled. I guess he wasn't happy. I didn't realize I was still holding the gagger untill Micheal pointed to my hand with a "Jeez..Maria" look on his face. I blinked. "huh?...OH!" I snapped my hand back. "DAMNIT! Micheal! Pass me something!" I waved my good hand at him. "But Maria..I don't have 'something'" That took me a few minutes to figure out. "JUST PASS ME A PEICE OF CLOTH DIMWIT!" I franticly waved my good hand then.
Micheal ripped a peice of his shirt off and passed it to me. "You need to get that looked at." Micheal got all 'family-like' on me then. "Right." I tied the cloth. "I think I see the market over-there." Micheal pointed. I nodded. I looked back at the sky. No more dark cloud. It was an illusion so he could kill Micheal. That bastard! I growled to myself. When we got up to the draw- bridge it was almost night and I was losing blood fast. "There's a guard!" I pointed. "Lets ask him where a docter is!" "YEAH!" I got up to the guard. "Excuse me.." "Yes?" "Do you know where the nearest docter is?" "Yeah but.." "BUT...?" "I think he's..." I couldn't hear him anymore. I wobbled abit. "I n-need him NOW.." I staggered. "I'll get right on it!" I wish I heard him. I wish we didn't return. Was this a mistake?
The next thing I knew I was in a white-like room. "MARIA!" Micheal grinned. "YOUR ALIVE!" I raised an eyebrow. "Of course I am. Why wouldn't I be?" "For ONE thing..that stab wound was pretty damn deep. How'd you know he was going to stab me?" "uhh..womans intuwition?" Micheal blinked. He didn't get it. "BUT...thanks anyway." Micheal smiled which made me smile. I got up. "Its too late to leave. We are spending the night here." Micheal yawned. "WHERE are we?" Micheal changed the subject. "WELL..arn't these flowers the.." "MICHEAL!" I snarled. "We're in Zelda's castle!" Micheal snapped back. "WHAT?!" THAT,my friends was the LAST place I wanted to spend the night. "We're LEAVING." I got up again. "It wasn't my idea...it was that or stay in Hyrule Field." Micheal looked out the window. "We COULD'VE stayed at either Kakariko Village OR Kokiri Forest!" I made a fist with my good hand. "You FAINTED. We had no other choice because the docter was helping someone here." Micheal lowered his voice. He was abit TOO good at keeping his cool. I turned my head to the side,growling under my breath. "FINE. But ONE night..TONIGHT." I gave in.
No way I could win. Then there was a knock on the door. "Yes?" "Um..Are you two okay? I could hear you two from down the hall and I thought something was wrong." I hope that voice didn't belong to Zelda. "We're fine." Micheal answered before I could. I pouted. The door opened more and sure enough..it was Zelda. GEE, What luck I own. "YOUR awake!" Zelda smiled. "Dinner is almost ready. You must eat. You lost too much blood not too." I nodded slilently. Micheal thanked her and said we would be down in a few. "Okay Maria..PLEASE PLEASE PLLLEEEAAASSSEEE...keep your cool down there!" Micheal was practicly on his knees. "Right. I sure as hell will try." I nodded.
We walked down. The table was set. Damn princesses...get everything. I want a big table. I want...well..actually..all I want was that this dinner be over with FAST. I caught a glimpse at where Zelda was sitting. The Sages were there [of course] and one empty seat next to Zelda. I shrugged that seat off knowing it was for Link. Me and Micheal took a seat at the very end and began chatting away about school and all that beauti-err..stuff. A second later Sheik walked in and sat in that seat next to Zelda. OOKAY...WAIT A SEC...BACK TRACK..SHEIK sat in that seat?! Then where's..My thoghts were interruppted by a hand on my shoulder. I almost jumped out of seat. "H-hey!" the voice laughed. I grumbled. It was Links voice. "DAMNIT..I swear..I'm going to DIE from surprise one of these days...!" I held my head. Micheal 'tsk tsked'
Okay...Maybe tonight wasn't going to be THAT bad after all...
