Chapter Five

Link woke up with a start; he had a bad dream about Tetra going off with a Gornon his age and leaving him to rot in a Dungeon. He shook off the thought.

`She would never do that to me… Would she?' he asked in his head, getting to his feet and looking around.

There was a growl coming from below him, he looked down and sweatdropped. It was his stomach.

"I guess it has been a while since I last ate…"

"Fairies like us don't need to eat… We'll go back into the bottle while you go into the village and get yourself some food." Mezu declared, taking Jezu and flying into the Empty Bottle again.

Link put the cork over the bottle and walked back to the village. It was as busy as it was yesterday evening, but that wouldn't stop him from going to see Nayru. He walked through the crowd and found Nayru's stand empty of customers.

"Hey Nayru, do you know any good places to eat? I haven't eaten in 2 or 3 days!" Link almost whined.

His stomach growled loudly, making everybody around him go quiet. Nayru just laughed and took his hand, walking into her house.

"You can eat here, go into the kitchen over there and fix yourself something. I've got work to do." She said before walking back out.

Link blinked, but walked over to where she said the kitchen was. He grinned when he saw some bread, Peanut Butter and Jelly. He'd make himself a sandwich, but with more than just PB&J.

Link took a deep breath; he had finally finished cleaning the once dirty kitchen. He had made quite a mess while he made the best Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner food, so Nayru made him clean it all up. Link put the mop and broom back into a small closet, then walked back outside to see Nayru.

"You clean it all up, Link?"

"Yes… It's spotless…"

"Good! Here's some advice!" Nayru said with a smile. "Tonight's a full moon, so I think you should go to Moonlight Tower. It's just West of here! It's bound to be the best spot to see the moon, and there's a rumor going around that there's a girl up there, waiting for her boyfriend to save her!"

Nayru began to laugh hysterically after seeing the tomato red color Link's face turned after he heard this. Once Nayru stopped laughing, he took a deep breath and spoke with a serious look on her face.

"No, Link. I'm serious. I think your girl's stuck up there and is waiting for you to go save her."

"True or not, I have to go there… Bye." Link said, turning around and walking off through the crowd again.

"Good Luck, Link!"

Link walked down the West path, seeing a tall tower come into view. His eyes narrowed with determination.

`That's it… Moonlight Tower… If Nayru was telling the truth, then Tetra should be up there…' he looked to the bottle, letting Mezu and Jezu out. "Nayru told me that Tetra's at the top of the tower…"

"Oh, really? The Moonlight Tower is swarmed with enemies in the daylight, Link! I think we should wait until dark to go in there!" Jezu spoke.

"Jezu's right, we should wait." Mezu agreed.

"Fine…" Link sighed, sitting down on an old, tree stump.

Once night had fallen, Link and the fairies snuck into the tower under the bright moonlight. It was then that Link realized why they called it Moonlight Tower; it was because the light of the moon covered the whole tower!

Once in, Link saw no enemies as of yet, so he advanced to the next room only to find… Tetra tied to the wall and a bunch of ReDeads and Moblins! He narrowed his eyes, unsheathing his sword. Now was his chance to save her… He couldn't pass this, even if he tried.

Link jumped up and used a Jump attack, slicing a Moblin in half. He did a Parry attack on another, then a Spin Attack to be rid of the rest. All that was left were 7 ReDeads to be bombed and a girl to save. He smirked as he took out his Grappling Hook. He grappled one of the ReDeads, then swung it around at the other ones. This made them all fall into just an old pile of bones. He laughed as he put his Grappling Hook away and used his sword to cut Tetra loose from the wall.

"Hey, are you OK?"

"Huh? Link? You saved me!" Tetra exclaimed, hugging him.

Link blushed, looking down at her and gulping.

"Umm... Tetra? Isn't this… A little close?"

"It's a reward! Thank you so much!" Tetra thanked, letting him go and smiling cheerfully.

Link made a confused look; Tetra was never this cheerful. He narrowed his eyes a little, but grinned as he took a Joy Pendant out, hiding it behind his back. He made himself blush a little.

"Umm… Tetra… I wanted to… give you this…"

"Isn't that sweet! What is it?"

Link pulled it out, the Joy Pendant shining very brightly. Tetra screamed, stumbling backwards and covering her eyes. She opened her eyes narrowly and ran, grabbing the Joy Pendant and throwing it to the floor, stomping it to several pieces.

"I knew it!" Link exclaimed, taking out his sword and getting into a stance.

"What ever do you mean?" `Tetra' asked, making a clueless look.

"You're Not Tetra!" Link yelled, pointing his sword at her. "The Real Tetra wouldn't have broken the Joy Pendant… Especially if she knew it was fake!"

"What?!"

"A fake Joy Pendant's light can only be seen by Fakers!" Link explained. "Prepare to die, Imposter!"

The fake Tetra took a step back and narrowed her eyes with a disgusted look, but then it curled into a smirk.

"You got me…"

There was a flash, everything went black for a moment, but then when the light came back, standing in the fake Tetra's spot was a Stalfos holding its club over its shoulder.

Link glared, his Light Sword glowing brightly with his anger.

"How dare you trick me into thinking you were my beloved Tetra… As penalty, you will die!" he yelled, taking out a bomb and throwing it at the Stalfos.

The giant skeleton jumped back, but the Bomb collided with its ribcage quicker than it thought. The bones scattered everywhere, this was when Link ran and did many Jump attacks to make each separate bone disappear into dust before they reformed.

Once done with this clean up, he sheathed his sword and looked to Mezu and Jezu.

"Come on."

They all went on to the third floor, finding but a mere Bokoblin asleep against the wall. Link immediately Jump attacked it then went on to the Fourth Floor. His eyes widened when he saw a struggling Tetra trying to wiggle out of the ropes that held her to the wall. She was gagged also. Link looked to his left and saw the Kargoroc staring at him.

He slowly reached for his sword, gently taking it out and holding it slightly oblique in front of him. The Kargoroc took a step forward, making the sudden-movement of raising it wings. It squawked loudly before flapping its wings and slowly lifting off of the ground. Link's eyes narrowed as the large, multicolored bird flew toward him and got ready to slash him with its talons as it flew by. Once the bird came close enough, he jumped up and landed on its head. He smirked as the bird moved its head to look around for him. It was so funny the way it didn't feel him on its head. No matter… Link took his sword and stabbed it right into the bird's head.

He could hear its loud cries of pain, until it disappeared in a puff of smoke and he dropped to the floor. Luckily, he landed on his feet, seeing a Golden Feather left on the floor. Link picked it up and then cut the ropes around Tetra and took off her gag. He look at her with a hopeful look, was she the real Tetra?

Tetra dusted herself off, then looked at Link out of the corner of her eye.

"What? Why are you looking at me like that?"

`Yup, it's her, all right…' Link thought, smiling and shaking his head. "No reason really… I just… Really missed you…"

Tetra's eyes widened, she blushed and turned to face him. She took a deep breath before saying,

"Thanks for saving me… And… I missed you, too…" she said quietly.

Link smiled again, taking out the real Joy Pendant he bought from Nayru. His cheek went just a little rosy as he put it around her neck.

"Huh? What's this…?" Tetra asked, putting her hand on the glittering Butterfly then looking at him.

"I got it for you… I thought it would be a nice `together again' gift…" Link admitted, then he blushed even more, realizing what he just said.

Tetra looked down at the Joy Pendant again, then grinned.

"Thanks, Link…"

"Any time… But now, let's just get out of here before we have to fight our way out." Link said, taking Tetra's hand into his and running out of the room.

They went down all 4 staircases, then went out of the Tower. Nayru was right, the full moon did look quite good from this area. Link smiled in the moonlight as he and Tetra walked back down the path to the spot he and the fairies had slept the night before.

"It may not be in a house, but at least it's a good way to sleep under the stars and the moon…" he said, lying down with his hands behind his head.

Tetra sat down beside him, looking up at the stars. She grinned, closing her eyes and making a wish.

`I wish I had enough courage to tell Link how I really feel…'

She took a deep breath, then decided to lie down beside Link. She didn't look at him, all she did was stare at the sky.

"Link… There's something… I've wanted to tell you…" she spoke quietly, but then she heard a small snore.

Tetra turned her head, seeing that Link had fallen asleep all ready. She sighed, shaking her head.

`Maybe another time…'

She gently scooted to be right beside him, turning on her other side so she wouldn't face him, then soon fell asleep as well.
