Terta walked out of her room dizzy and didn't feel so well. Everything felt hazy, a blur of confusion. She took a gulp and set aside her feelings for the boat needed a captain.
"Okay Nudge can you take the barrels of oil into the basement." Terta order Nudge. Nudge nodded and took 3 big barrels of oil to the basement as she told.
"Zuko see anything new?" Tetra called to Zuko. Zuko looked around with his spyglass to see if anything unusual happened.
"No, captain." Zuko replied and continued looking through his spyglass. Terta went to her steering wheel and her place on the ship. The captain. She looked down to she Link sleeping near the canons. She giggled and went over to him.
"Link." She said softly to only get a big snore in her face. She looked at him angrily and called again.
"LINK!!!" She yelled for his ear drums to break.
"Ouch, don't need to yell so loud." Link said annoyed. She rolled her eyes and passed him a mop.
"Today you're cleaning the ship, got it?" Terta said. Link groaned at her and took the mop.
"But I mopped yesterday!" He whined. She shook her head no.
"No, Niko did, and the previous was Zuko then Nudge, and Mako, and me. So it's your turn." She said shoving the mop at him. As
Link mopped he groaned as Terta felt sicker at lunch she couldn't eat and Link began to worry.
"Terta you okay?" Link ask her while she clenched her stomach.
"Yup probably just a bug." Terta replied fake smiling. She lie. It wasn't a bug, she was indeed sick badly. She was in pain all over her body. As she was steering the ship she tripped on something a fell to the ground, but someone grabbed her before she fell. Link was smiling at Terta, as Terta began all red.
"Thanks." She said blushing. They were so close together she could her heart racing. She stood up and felt worse.
"Terta? TERTA!" Link yelled. Was the last thing she remembered.
She opened her eyes to see Link beside her bed. She tried to get up, but was to weak. Link noticed she was awake and turned towards her.
"Easy there, you're still sick." Link said in his sweet soft voice he had. Terta layed in bed painfully. Link picked up a bowl of soup and gave it to her. She tried to resist because she felt like throwing up.
"I feel to sick." She said sneezing. Link just smiled.
"If you don't want to be sick eat it." Link said. Terta had no choice but to eat it and it wasn't that bad. After she ate a few bites and her pain died down she rested her head on her pillow.
"Tomorrow we're seeing a doctor so we don't have a sick captain anymore." Link said. Terta smiled back.
"Link..." Terta asked.
"Yes, Terta?"
"You're not going to leave right?" Terta asked softly. Link looked at her confused.
"I won't leave you ever." Link said and held her hand smiling. Terta smiled again and finally went to bed. The next morning they reached Link's home island and found a doctor to treat Terta.
"The doctor will be here." The office lady said and went back to her papers. As Link sat with Terta she began to lean on Link. Link blushed and felt her forehead.
"You're burning." Link said shockingly. Link knew that Terta was with a serious illness, and if he ever lost Terta he wouldn't be able to live. She looked at Link sickly.
"How many more minutes?" She said sweating and in pain.
"Not that many." Link said trying to stay calm. A couple minutes later a doctor with white hair meet them.
"So, from my records Terta has... Hinox disease." The doctor said with a sign. Link gasped and looked to the floor trembling. Hinox disease the most deadly disease.
"Do you know how she encountered it?" The doctor asked. Link was puzzled he couldn't had see any way she could have... The ship! How could I bed so stupid the other day Link and Terta had been exploring a ghost ship for treasure, but he remembered Terta screaming and had a scratch on herself saying something weird scratched her. He looked back at Terta sadness in his eyes. Terta eyes were closed and she was wearing a cold ice pack to die down her fever.
"Is there any cure?" Link asked for the last chance of hope.
"Yes." The doctor replied.
"The LaLidna flower. It is said to cure any illness, but act fast or your sweet friend will die in the next 5 days." Link looked in shock he had to find the cure for her, no matter what it took. He looked back at Terta who had moved her hand in Link's. We both need each other Link said to himself and carried Terta to the ship.
