Yay!

Alright, so I finally got off my lazy butt and started to brainstorm madly over a sequel for Four Swords The Capture. And that work payed off, because here it is!

Sorry for the derpy name. Hostage? I really don't know, but that's not important.

I know I said I was going to write a Linebeck story, but . . .

I lied.

I don't know what it is. I just LOVE to write about the Four Swords.

Ok, ok, so for those who didn't read The Capture, you might wanna read this: .net/s/7890183/1/The_Legend_of_Zelda_Four_Swords_The_Capture

I also read the Four Swords manga! Yayness! Now my stories might be better! I seriously read it like 3 times. I just love it. It's so awesome!

Though I do not understand in one page where Blue gets a random umbrella for Red's tears.

Why do my short author notes always turn into rambling? Hm.

Flames . . . marshmellows . . . you get the drift, I think I'm done with those things.

Disclaimer: I, sadly, do not own any of the Zelda characters.

Red was skipping around the room, laughing at who knows what. Blue was watching Red in absolute annoyance. Green was smiling at Red and watching him skip in circles. Vio was trying to read a book, but was failing from the distraction. Vio was the first to speak up.

"Ok," he started, shutting his book. "is there anything else that you can do Red? Please?"

"Oh, come on, Vio!" Red squealed. "Blue's back! Are you not happy?"

"I could have lived without him," Vio snorted, half sarcastically.

"Hey!" Blue growled, crossing his arms. "You know very well that you could never live without my braveness."

"Wanna bet?" Vio snapped.

"Yeah!" Blue replied.

"Why don't I kill you again and this time don't bother coming back?" Vio picked up his book again.

"No thanks. The afterlife has Shadow creeping all over it." Blue shuddered. Vio smirked and Red, for the tenth time that day, tackled Blue in joy. Blue got the wind knocked right out of him by the sudden tackle, and Red squeezing as hard as possible did not help.

"Blue, I just can't believe you're alive!" Red cried. "You were dead! I . . . I saw the sword go straight through you! And, your breathing! It stopped!"

"My breathing isn't working well right now, either!" Blue gasped. Red pulled away.

"Oops," Red blushed slightly.

"Didn't we already discuss this whole dying thing?" Blue sighed. "The afterlife and all?"

"Don't kill him again, Red," Green teased playfully. Green got up and patted Red on the head. Red looked up at Green and grinned, leaping on the bed beside Blue, trying to settle down. Blue rolled his eyes and crossed his arms, looking up at Green. Green grinned.

"What are you grinning about?" Blue growled.

"Nothing," Green simply replied. Blue sighed and looked at Vio, who was pretending to read. The others could tell that he was faking because he was grinning from ear to ear.

"Do you have a funny book or something?" Blue snapped, knowing that Vio was laughing at him.

"You never will know, will you?" Vio replied, never looking away from his book. Blue sighed and looked at Red who was grinning, just like Vio, but not because he was laughing at Blue. Just because he was overjoyed. Vio caught a glimpse of Red and couldn't help but let out a small laugh.

"That's what you looked like," Blue smirked.

"But it looks much funnier on Red," Vio replied, closing his book once more.

"No, you always see Red smiling. But you are just the grumpy calm one that never wants anything to do with-" Blue was cut off when Vio had thrown his book at Blue's head.

"I hope that'll shut you up, because now I have no books," Vio grinned. Blue grunted and rubbed his head, and Green started to laugh.

"Shut up, Green," Blue mumbled. Green did not shut up.

Red just stuck with the same grin the entire time, looking from one Link to another.

"Ok, ok," Green finally sighed. "It's getting late. We should probably be getting some sleep."

"Yes!" Came Red's voice.

"Finally!" Came Blue's voice.

"I'm exhausted!" Came Vio's voice. Green smiled and unstrapped his shield and sheath. He walked towards his bed and set his weapons beside it. He then crawled into bed.

Blue did the same and unstrapped his sword and shield, setting his weapons beside his bed. Red hopped to his own bed. Red and Vio did the exact same thing as Blue and Green, and every Link crawled into bed.

"Good night, guys!" Red cheered happily as the candle lights went out.

"Night," came Blue's muffled, tired voice.

"See you in the morning," Green smiled through the pitch black.

"Good night," came Vio's simple reply.

After a couple of hours, all the Links were sound asleep. All was absolutely silent, except for the movements of one of them switching positions, or some small muffled cries of Red's occasional nightmares.

But suddenly, the floorboards creaked and the faint echo of feet against wood sounded. None of the Links noticed, as they were all in deep sleep. A figure that blended in with the shadows examined the sleeping Links with an evil grin. The figure looked at each bed, and not so much to its surprise, it saw Blue, though the sight still made it fume. The figure looked at Green's bed and remembered his mother. It scoffed and continued to look. It saw Vio's bed and examined Vio. It rolled its eyes as it remembered that Vio was a know-it-all and knew just about everything. That would not do. Finally, it looked at Red. The figure grinned. Red would be perfect. His cries of agony are music to its ears, and his skills narrowed to just about zero. The figure then seeped out of the shadows and took hold of Red's mouth tightly, making Red's eyes snap open. Red tried to scream but the hand made it impossible.

"Shh," the figure whispered with a smirk. It was then the Red instantly knew who it was. His eyes widened, and in his mind he whispered,

'Shadow.'

And as if he could read Red's mind, he whispered, "Yes, Red. It's me. Shadow." Red's cheeks started to change the colour of his tunic as tears suddenly poured freely from his eyes. This made Shadow grin even wider.

'What do you want?' Red screamed in his mind, tears dripping on his bed.

"You're coming with me," Shadow whispered with a fanged grin. Green shuffled and groaned, rubbing his head. Shadow snapped his head upwards to look at Green, and soon Green started to show signs he was definitely awake.

"Red?" Green groaned. "Is that you?" Shadow roughly put his arm around Red's mouth and the other around Red's waist. He ran with Red in his arms to the window and easily slipped the window open, then jumped on the windowsill. He peered back at Green who was turning to face them. "Red?"

Shadow smirked as he looked at Green then Red's worried face. Tears made Shadow's hands wet, but nothing could spoil this moment. Shadow jumped from the windowsill and into a black pool of darkness, laughing manically in his mind.

If anybody out there is reading the end authors note first, then that it sort of wierd. ANYWAYS!

Yes, when I kept saying "The figure" or "it" I was talking about Shadow if you have not guessed. Just wanna clear things up.

Alright, stay tuned for chapter 2!
