A wolf howl snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Ugh!" I groaned, "That's just great! While I was standing here lost in my own stupid daydreams..." I looked around, "I really need to stop talking to myself."

I looked around for a place to stay for the night. I could go to Kokiri Forest. I quickly discarded the thought. 'Heh. Link thinks that I don't exist.'

I heard a whirring. I spun around and my crimson eyes widened. A Peahat. I ran as fast as I could, while unsheathing Kyake. I hoped I wouldn't need it. Soon the whirring died down. I sighed and stopped running. I was putting Kyake away when I heard a movement.

"Wh-what the-?" Just then I felt it... the ground shook. I looked around wildely. the earh beneath me began to shift. I readied Kyake in my right hand. I was born right handed but soon learned to use both hands. My right hand was just faster. A Skullkid came up and I breathed a sigh of relief. "Well..." I said, putting my blade down, "this'll be no con-- AHHH!" I yelled. Six more Skullkids came up and the first one moved towards me. I raised Kyake and expertly hit it.

It's head fell off but it still came at me. I gulped and raised Kyake. Before I could strike however, I felt claws on my shoulder. I gritted my teeth as the red hot pain surged through my body. I kicked back and thrust Kyake forward. The Skullkid in front of me fell back and disappeared. Blood was now running down my left arm and shoulder. Dizziness started to take hold of me. Black began to cloud my vision but I shook my head violently. Just then the six remaining creatures went back underground. I sighed and sheathed Kyake and put my right hand over the wound in my shoulder. I looked down and gasped. Two bony arms were wrapped around my waist. I looked forward and saw another Skullkid... but this one was different... This one was about two or three times bigger then the ones I just fought.

"No." I breathed then gasped in pain as the arms around my waist tightened their grip on me, "Unh. Let... me... GO!" Next thing I heard was a sickoning CRACK! I screamed as my ribs were broken. I forced myself to look up and saw that the other Giant Skullkid was right in front of me. It reached down and slashed me on my stomach. I screamed again as blood ran down my front.

I heard someone yell. I looked up, fully aware that I would lose consciousness very quickly. I saw a blue blur and heard the sound of a sword hitting bone. The Giant Skullkid who slashed me in the stomach was dead. At that second, I fell limp in the second Skullkid's arms, blood still pouring out of both of my wounds.

Link's POV

I heard the screams. I ran out of the forest and saw... well I couldn't quite make out exactly who it was but I knew that they needed my help. When I reached the creatures, I noticed all the blood.

'Make connections later you idiot!' I thought to myself. I ran forward and cut the Skullkid twice. It vanished. I quickly killed the second one and looked at whom I had just saved.

My cerulian eyes widened, "No," I whispered, "What is she doing here?"
