Gerudo Forest

Gerudo Forest Chapter 4

She didn't know how long she had been sitting there but her leg was starting to fall asleep. His bleeding seemed to have stopped and his breathing had seemed to improve greatly. The light glowing from his hand cast an eerie glow on their surroundings and she could see some major cobwebs hanging from the ceiling. She prayed they weren't from a skulltula. Thinking about that was a big mistake because being in a crypt made her think of all the creepy creatures she had fought in the game. She knew she didn't want to run into any gibdo or re-dead down here. Those creatures scared her the most. 

At that thought Melissa heard a groan that made her look around startled before she realized it was actually Ganondorf. He began to stir and his eyes fluttered open. He looked at her rather confused for a second but finally realized his head was lying in her lap. He tried to get up but couldn't seem to do so on his own. Melissa pushed him to a sitting position and held him there till he steadied himself before letting go of him. The light faded and they were plunged into darkness once more. 

When she felt something wrap around her wrist she let out a scream. The light flooded the room once more and she saw it had been Ganondorf. Instantly she felt silly for being such a girl. When she looked at him he was staring at his hand muttering to himself.  

"Why does it do that when you touch me?" she finally asked breaking his train of thought.  

He looked at her with even more interest now. "The Triforce is reacting to you." He said lifting his hand then putting it back on her testing the phenomenon.  

She didn't have time for him to play around. "I noticed that! What I meant is why?" 

She could see him thinking about it for a moment and if he had any answer he didn't reveal it to her.  

"How did you get this door open? It hasn't been open since the reign of the last King." He asked instead. 

He seemed to be patiently waiting for a response. She thought he would still be mad at her for running away but he showed no signs of anger. Had opening the door been so significant that it could cause him to forget what had just happened? She guessed she should answer him. She didn't want to give him any reason to be angry with her again.  

"I don't really know. A pattern just started to glow on it as I got close and it just kind of opened by its self." She admitted not understanding the importance of it and really wishing he would let go of her.  

At this new news Ganon went back to his thoughts and Melissa stared around her ready to leave this creepy place. That is if the door would open. Ganondorf didn't seem worried about it in the least and seemed to have other intentions. He stood up he jerked her with him grasping her wrist tight as she tried to pull away. He began examining the room dragging Melissa behind him.  

"I'm not a flashlight you know." Melissa said upset that he was jerking her around just for the light. "Can't you light up your hand by yourself?" but he ignored her and just kept methodically checking every nook and cranny of the room.  

After not finding what he was searching for he started pushing open the tops of the sarcophagi.  

"Isn't that a bad idea?" she asked "I mean not only is it disrespectful but what if there are Poes or Gibdo in one of those?" 

"Are you scared?" he said turning with an evil grin. He let her go letting the darkness fall back around them.  

"Ok this is not funny." Melissa said reaching out to try and find him. 

She started walking towards the back of the room holding her hands out searching trying not to panic. It was weird how just a few moments ago she didn't want to even be close to him, but now she was trying to find him like he was some kind of lifeline.
