Gerudo Forest

Gerudo Forest Chapter 6

They appeared just outside the big double doors. The nerve of the old ghost asking her to do such a thing. She could feel the heat of her anger spreading through her. Jimmy had been hurt once before. She promised it would never happen again and she had meant it. She would cause him no pain just because someone thought it was her duty.  

Ganon started escorting her down the hall. He gripped her arm as if he thought she was going to run off again. 

"Where are we going?"She asked curiously.  

"Some place we can talk." He replied apparently upset he hadn't found the treasure he was looking for.  

"Don't you need someone to look after your wounds first?" She insisted.  

"No! We will talk first." He sounded agitated so she didn't say anymore.  

They walked in silence for a while. She had a feeling he was going to be asking her about what the ghost king had said to her. She didn't know what she was going to tell him. She needed time to think herself. All she knew is she wouldn't be mentioning the sword of kings to him anytime soon. 

The closer they got to the main hall the more she could hear people running around and shouting. As they came into view of everyone the Gerudo stopped. They stared from their King, to Melissa, and then back again.  

"What is the Meaning of all this commotion?" Ganon barked at them.  

Koume and Kotake flew into view.  

"Where have you been?" Koume asked.  

"We were worried about you." said Kotake.  

When they spotted the new wound they gasped and gave Melissa an evil look. " Don't look at me. I didn't bite him." Melissa said upset they would even think she would do something like that.  

"Then how did he get it?" Kotake said pointing a finger at her in anger.  

"Oh no your bleeding again. I just bandaged that." Koume said fretting over him again.  

"Do I look a child to you mother?" Ganon asked angrily. " I have business to attend to with this one." he said pointing at Melissa.  

"Well you're not doing anything till we get you patched up again." They said together. 

Koume started ushering a pissed off looking Ganon down another hallway. He glanced back at Melissa before he was pushed down a different hall.  

"Chara" Kotake called to the group of girls. Chara stepped out of the group and bowed awaiting orders.  

"Take this one to her room."Kotake commanded with that she flew off to join her sister. 

It was a silent trek back to her room. Chara wouldn't even speak to her. It was okay though. First thing she did when she got in her room was plop down on the cot. The old ghost didn't know what he was talking about. She was just a regular nobody. Not a sword or a dragon or whatever else he had called her. She just couldn't believe it. What did he mean she would find out soon? Her stomach was turning in knots so she decided to just take a nap. Maybe with a little luck she would wake up in her own bed.  

She woke to the sound of the door opening. Opening her eyes she saw Koume and Kotake enter. She turned over to face the wall. She didn't feel like talking to anyone.  

"Melissa." She heard Koume speak softly to her. "He wishes to see you. He has some question to ask you."  

When Melissa didn't respond Kotake yanked her by the hair.  

"Owwie!" Melissa objected rubbing her head.  

"Get up now and come with us." Kotake said firmly.
