(Jessie)’s pov
The last thing I heard before I was outside with the happy mask salesman was Ben yelling my name
“come on dear…”
“w-where are we going?”
He was running I had never known him to run
“oh don’t worry about it”
Before I knew it we were standing near the ocean. I recognized this one it had an elegy of emptiness statue in it
“why are we here?”
Suddenly I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head. He had hit me!!!what the hell? Was he carrying me out to the water? The last thing I heard before he threw me into the water as I blacked out was
“(Jessie) drowned..Has a nice ring to it don’t you think?”
As I was engulfed by the water and unconsciousness was a voice….Ben?
Ben’s pov
I arrived in time to see the happy mask salesman throwing an almost unconscious (Jessie) into the deep water
“fuck no!!”
I thought to myself
“move happy mask salesman!!!!”
“No”
“yes”
I gritted my teeth and ran at him he dodged to the side but I wasn’t having it I hooked my arm around his neck pulling him down I decided that instead of repeatedly punching him in the face like I had planned, which would have taken too much time that (Jessie) didn’t have that I would pressure point him so he would pass out after I did that the real issue occurred to me…. I’m hydrophobic. I saw the bubbles that were there stop coming and I pushed all fear to the side and dove into the water. She was passed out. I quickly swam to her wrapping one of my arms around her waist and swam up quickly I gasped for air when I reached the top pulling (Jessie) onto the shore
“please don’t be dead. Please. Drowning is horrible you can’t drown!”
Soon I was relieved to see her coughing up water I wrapped her in a joyous embrace
“(Jessie)! you’re alive! Thank Majora!!”
“*cough* B-Ben?”
“yes I’m here it’s going to be ok”
“h-he tried to…”
“shhh I know I know just relax”
She nodded and after a fit of coughing she began to cry burying her face into my tunic I rubbed her back gently
“shhh its ok you’re fine”
“t-thank you”
“you’re welcome…I suppose you want me to take you home now?”
She nodded but said something that surprised me
“will you stay with me?”
I pulled her closer setting my chin on her head
“of course”
After she stopped crying we stood up completely soaked and she held my hand all the way back to my house and I took her home where we lied down and surprisingly she let me hold her and as she fell asleep in my arms I swore to always protect her.
