Chapter Seven
“Voices”
“Daddy?” the voice of a little girl echoed.
Another voice, an older voice responded, it sounded very faint. “Honey...you’re alive!”
The girl responded, “Are you going to save me? I want to go home.” Her father replied softly, trying to calm down his daughter, “It’s alright...Daddy will come for you very soon. I’m close. I won’t stop until I find you.”
The girl responded quietly, “Please hurry...I can’t take this anymore. I feel so lonely. I feel so scared.”
“Tell me...” her father asked, “How are you contacting me?”
There was a pause. The girl answered, “That spell you tried to teach me. I finished teaching myself how to use it.”
“I’m so proud of you.” The father said. The girl smiled, “I managed to find a mirror. They still don’t know about it.”
There was another pause. “You’ve channeled energy into a mirror. Does that mean you still have that necklace I gave you?”
“Yes. Its right here, you see?”
“Listen carefully. Whatever you do...don’t ever lose that pendant. If you do, we’ll never be able to get in contact again. The Goron’s Ruby is the only thing that can channel the spell.”
She nodded, “I know.”
There was another pause, her father asked, “Do you know where you are?”
There was no response for awhile. Her father asked again, “...are you still there? Do you know where you are? Can you tell me how that place looks like?”
Finally, after a short pause, she responded, “No. I don’t know, daddy. It’s too dark. I’m in jail. It’s cold. I’m sorry, please don’t be mad.”
There was a sigh, her father said, “It’s alright.”
Footsteps lightly echoed.
“Daddy?” she asked.
“...Yes?”
“Why are they doing this?” the girl questioned.
Another moment of silence, her father said slowly, unsure, “...I’ll tell you later. Right now, all you have to worry about is staying alive. Right now I have my men looking for you. Just wait a little longer, Ki-“
Glass shattered. A third voice yelled, it sounded like one of the kidnappers, “What are you doing?!”
There was the sound of a whip cracking followed by screams.
