Protecting Link

Children

Link's POV:

Will!!! Link!!!

Screaming echos as flames claim the village I once called home.

"Hurry Link, behind here" I trip and fall on my face, but he helps me up and we run past the remnants of our house and hide in a bush."keep quiet" he instructs me.

"Will, I'm scared" I mumble. My breathing is heavy and uneven as I try my best to do as he says.

"It's ok Link it'll be over soon. The monsters will be gone." His voice was calm and collected.

He was always stronger than me. We were inseparable. I would always follow him everywhere and we would play until it was night fall. We were so little but he seemed so grown up. He tenses up next to me. Then a man with hair the color of crimson blood stops right in front of our measly hiding place. A silouet so intense and radiating with power turns and my blood runs cold. He smiles and a flash of light and pale green sparks jump like lighting around a girl . She is thin and pale with_____ hair. She is wearing tattered clothes and chains around her neck and wrists. She collapses on the ground open mouth with wide _____ eyes.

"No" she whispers as her tiny hands reach toward the flaming houses, shuffling forward to try and help. The man kicks her. She cries out in pain and slumped to the ground.

"Now, now child I told you what would happen if you disobeyed me. Your village is long gone but let this be an example to you."

Will stirs next to me and a turn to see his green eyes dancing dangerously. He rushes forward in the blink of an eye, stands between the evil man and the beaten girl with fierce determination in his eyes.

Will's POV:

That monster! How dare he hurt that poor girl! She was about his age and was very weak and worn out. That man was the vilest and the most despicable person to do that to a child. He stands and begins the most bone chilling laughter I have ever heard.

"Little boy are you here to challenge me,"I glare at him with daggers, "I could use a brave soul like you with a few changes of course. He looks at me assessing my slight form. He gathers a purple ball of swirling energy and hurls it towards me. I refuse to budge I will not surrender and let him continue to hurt anyone else. The sparking ball of energy hits me square in the chest and my world explodes waves of agony sweep over me. The worst pain imaginable courses through my being then nothing but icy black.

Link's POV:

I can't move as I watch terrified. Will stands unmoving until the giant before him throws a spherical object towards him, he screams and an invisible wave knocks me over as a sharp pain strikes the back of head... then nothing.
