~Mitch's POV

He stood there with the rest of the group feeling just as confused as many of the other looked. It was obvious for him to tell who were confused and who were worried or scared. A few, including himself, had taken a step forward in the direction Link had bolted off to out of curiosity. Yet no one was entirely sure what they were supposed to do. He had told them to wait there for him to come back, but since he left almost twenty minutes had passed. Out of nowhere a chilling thought crossed his mind ' what if something happened.' He looked to Jordan for consultation and was met by a voiceless agreement. Without any words being passed they knew what the other was thinking and nodded in simultaneous agreement.

"Alright," He started off, grabbing one or two people's attention from the babbling group. Yet not everyone payed attention.

"HEY!" Jordan shouted above everyone, gaining full attention and startling a flock of birds somewhere in the distance.

"Thank you," Mitch nodded. "Alright. Guys, it been a while since Link left, so rather than wait out here all night I think it would be best if you guys go and ask Renando if you'll be able to stay in his house for the night. If you tell him what's happened I'm sure he'll say yes. Jordan, Jason and I are going to find where Link went. We'll send news with one of us if something happens." He looked to the faces of those around him and received many nods and words of agreements.

"Good," Mitch stated.

"Let's go." Jordan rose her hand up in the air and signaled everyone to move. Most people moved off to Renando's hut, while she, Jason and Mitch fanned out in the direction Link had run towards.

Jason went to check a few of the vacant houses on the left hand side of the narrow valley. Jordan ran towards Barnes's bomb shop turning fox mid-stride, and Mitch ran towards the Inn. About ten feet away from the Inn he noticed the door was swung slightly open. He made to enter but a better plan crossed his mind as his hand reached for the handle. Mitch paused, thought on his plan again and pulled away from the door. He ran back towards the center of the village where he had last seen everyone, at the last second before the village exit he made turned left and ran up a small hill.

'Please let this work…'

As he chugged up along the hill he noticed a single light flickering in one of the main windows where he and the rest of the team stayed. 'Great…' a small growl escaped his throat 'just what I need.' Mitch shook his head and moved off the hill onto the roof of a nearby building. On it was a sign he was unable to read. He made a mental note to ask Link or Jordan to teach him the local language. He sized up the distance between the two buildings and jumped. As he landed he pulled out one of his axes and a dagger and crawled through a crack in the wall barely big enough for him to fit. When he was through he crawled behind the partition that blocked Jordan off from the guys when they were in the room, he slowly and carefully looked through one of the openings in the weaving. The only thing he was able to see was a man-sized lump in the middle of the floor covered by a blanket. He wasn't able to recognize the shape fully for who it was. Near the lump was a bottle with green liquid that was half way full and a red bottle equally full. Mitch placed his axe back behind his shield and fully unsheathed his dagger, as he made to move closer he was stopped by a hand firmly planted on his shoulder. Without thinking he swung around and sliced his blade against the attacker's body not particularly aiming for any general spot, but he knew he made contact when he heard a sharp inhale followed by-
