It’s dark - darker than before and she’s sure that means it must be nighttime by now. How long had she been gone? Lydia wiggled her fingers slowly - attempting to move her wrists - the plastic tie biting into her wrists. The chair she was in was hard - her body aching in several different places. She could feel a warm sticky liquid near her head and new the blood from earlier was slowly drying.

Lydia had been walking back from class, heading to her car when the blow to the head came. She couldn’t remember much more than that. She’d woken up in a darkened factory or building of some sort not long later.

He was gone for the moment - not far though, she knew that. She’d been forced to watch as he killed the other girl - choking her with a sharp wire and then tossing her body aside like she was nothing.

He’d cleaned up and then took the body - but she knew he’d be back for her and if she didn’t find a way to get out of here she’d end up just as dead as the other girl and Lydia couldn’t let that happen. She struggled against her bindings - the plastic cutting into her skin as tears streamed down her face.

Oh, he likes that look in her eyes. A certain gleam of mischief that matches his own. He allows her to grab his hand and tug him along. He doesn’t see the harm in going to castle town but the others aren’t always the safest. Something tells him that she wants to go FURTHER than Castle Town, though.

The pout makes it DIFFICULT to resist her. How can he say no when she is looking at him like that? “The fields and the way to Zora’s domain is dangerous.” He can protect her but do they want to take that chance? “Are you sure you want to go?” Epona would make the way there easier but still, the danger is there. There are STILL monsters lurking about.

With a lead like that, she cannot help but to lose hope. It sounds as if he has no intention of obliging to her wishes, and she begins to think she will spend the rest of her evening amongst these stone walls. Just when she is about to dismiss her suggestion and pretend it never happened, he asks her of her certainty. Did this mean he would take her…?

“I am absolutely certain. I mean…how dangerous can it truly be? You are the hero that saved Hyrule, and I….well I believe I have my fair share of experience given my seven years spent in hiding.” Impa had taught her well during that time, and that fact had not been kept a secret from Link. He knew she’d been the one aiding him in his journey during that time.

Being a lead investigator on the case was not his favorite thing. Or getting called directly to the crime scene. Some explaining to a few faces that didn’t know him, no the dog wasn’t going to contaminate the scene and so forth. Last to arrive clearly taking in the figure looking around purposefully. “So what’s the details so far?”
