A Kink In Time - A Legend of Zelda FanFic (Ocarina of Time)

Chapter 10

I led Link towards the bridge, and dropped down into the hole. I opened the door, and found myself on the other side. Link followed me close behind, and I decided to wait. If he makes one misstep in the following process... We're screwed.

I grabbed his hand, and he looked up at me.

"This is where it gets tricky. So... I don't want you to make a mistake and get us thrown all the way back to the beginning. Okay?" I asked.

"Uhh... Alright." He looked ahead. "Let's go." I smiled, and took a step forward, walking towards the hill which I knew we could walk up. I aligned myself and him perfectly in the middle, not wanting these apparently half blind guards to see us. He was in front, and I was holding onto his shoulders, edging him in the right direction. Soon, we are out of sight of the guards and I let go of his shoulders, running in front of him.

"This way! I know a secret entrance!" I darted for the brick wall, and started climbing it. Link followed as I asked, and soon we were looking at the castle.

"In this part, we'll need to be careful. The guards are over there, in front of the gates, but in the water, they won't see us. Cool, right?" I leaped off into the water, and heard Link hit the water behind me. I picked up rupees as I swam, and so did Link. Soon, we were at the corner, and I told him it was safe to get out of the water now. I stepped out of the water, shook out my hair, and darted around the corner, where I found... Talon.

Sleeping like a baby!

I giggled, he looked so... Weird! And on top of that, the way he was sleeping was so... Goofy!

I pulled out the Cucco, and it crowed. Talon sat up at once, freaking out.

"WHAT IN TARNATION???!?" He yelled, looking at me. "Can't a man get some sleep?"

"Well, ya see, we've talked to your daughter. She was wondering where you were. You may want to go find her!" Link told him.

"She's been worried sick!" I chipped in.

"Ah!! Malon!!! Daddy's coming, Malon!!!" He ran off, screaming.

"Huh. Well, that was easy." Link laughed. "Now what?"

"Well... See those blocks? You can push them over the side and climb up... Into that... Tiny hole. Crap." I suddenly saw a flaw in all this. How was I supposed to crawl into that hole?!?

He'd already pushed the block over the side, and was looking at me now. "Yeah... What about you?" He asked.

"I'm thinking, I'm thinking!" I told him. Just then, I got an idea. I pulled out my sword.

"Link, hand me your sword. I need it if you don't want you have to do this extremely hard portion of this heist alone!" I told him, and he quickly handed it over. I took my sword, and pushed it in the mortar of the brick on one side of the hole, and stuck Link's in the other. I moved the swords up and down, in and out, until finally the mortar was loose enough for me to simply pull the bricks out and toss them away. I could get through now. Problem solved! Now... We had to... Get past more guards. And, these ones moved. Again, I say it... Crap.

Link climbed through the hole, and I followed him. He stood there, staring in awe of the inside of the castle. It was pretty, I had to admit. The royal decorators really had done a fine job...

"Ok. Let's go... Pass some guards." I told him.

"More?!?" He asked, in shock.

"Yeah, more." I frowned.

He groaned. "Let's just get it over with."
