| The Sun And The Moon By Rebecca |
| Chapter 4 Anju's Letter: Anju picked up the quill and started scribbling as fast as she could. Dear Kafei, Are you safe? I was worried...be careful getting that Sun's Mask back, I know about Sakon. My family is evacuating to Romani Ranch, but I am staying here. I will meet you like I promised. There are strange things happening in town. They say the moon is going to fall...so much for Nera being graceful! I think it has to do with that imp with the mask...I do not know. I will send this as soon as possible. Good luck getting the mask back; please be careful! ~Anju~ Anju finished writing just as young Link walked into the room. "Hey, do you know anything about a man named Kafei? He went missing a while ago...his mom sent me to look for him." he said. Anju jumped. "You're looking for him too? Well, can you do me a favor? Wait, it will be safer if I tell you tonight...can you meet me in the kitchen at 11:30? I mean, if you can..." "Yeah, of course," Link agreed, looking a bit bewildered. He went out the door before Anju could thank him. * * * That night at 11:30, Anju wrote a quick note on her letter to Kafei. P.S. I am sending a young boy named Link to deliver this to you...he is a member of your mother's seach party; maybe he can help you. He is dressed in green and a yellow fairy always follows him. She ran down to the kitchen, where Link was already waiting. She gave him the letter and told him to deliver it that morning for her, and to find out where Kafei was hiding. She only hoped delivering the letter would not confuse him as much as taking a room key had! * * * Kafei jumped when the bell outside the shop rang. He'd stayed awake all night and all day, and was ready to fall flat on his face and start snoring. Very quickly, he ran out the door to see who it was. He'd expected to see that green-tunic kid who kept ringing the bell last night, but instead it was the postman. Kafei accepted the letter without saying a word, then, clutching it to his necklace, ran back inside the shop. The green-tunic kid chased after him. Kafei decided to just let the kid in, what harm could he do? Kafei quickly read through the letter from Anju, wishing he could talk to her face to face. Meeting her tomorrow night would be hard...what if he didn't get the mask back? He'd go anyway. The green-tunic kid reached the top of the stairs as Kafei stuffed the letter back into it's envelope. "Anju wrote about you in her letter," Kafei said. "I know I can trust you, because she trusted you. I am Kafei." The fairy spoke up. "We're looking for an adult named Kafei. You're just a child." Kafei sighed. "I was turned into this by an imp wearing a mask." He continued on to tell the whole story about Sakon stealing the mask, and how he was waiting for Sakon to appear with it. He gave his necklace to Link, asking him if he could deliver it to Anju. Link agreed, as if he had all the time in the world to be a delivery man for two strangers. * * * Anju breathed a sigh of relief when Link handed her the amulet. He was safe. She knew he would come back for her. * * * Link was in his room that night, getting ready to sleep. "What are you doing?" Tatl demanded. "You can't sleep! We only have three days!" "No, we've got as many 'days' as we want, as long as we have the Song of Time." Link replied. "These two are really unhappy, I can't let them stay that way. Anyway, if they are happy, our Bomber's Notebook will be filled!" "Oh, who cares about the Bombers? We're leaving as soon as you defeat Majora's Mask! Bomb those bombing bombers!" Tatl raved. Link laughed. "It's not funny!" Tatl insisted. "Anyway, why do you want to sleep in here? There's a hole in the wall, for crying out loud, you can hear the people next door...hey!" Tatl flew over to the wall and pressed her tiny ears to the hole. Link rolled his eyes. "Anju, we're leaving for the ranch tomorrow." "But, mother, Kafei-" "That man? I'll tell you where he is, Anju. He's probably already hiding out at the ranch with Cremia, as if you are not good enough for him. And I'll tell you another thing, he doesn't have the guts to meet you here, and he would never risk his life for you! I'll never forgive your father for making the arrangments in the first place!" "What arrangements?" asked Anju. "Nevermind! The important thing right now is survival. We need to stay together as a family in order to survive. Isn't that right?" "Yes, mother." Anju said shortly. Tatl and Link heard a few rustling noises, then a candle being blown out. "Oh, so Anju is abandoning Kafei now? That's just wonderful..." Tatl said, and continued complaining about their getting involved in other peoples' business, and being stuck in this lousy world in the first place, and her brother, and other various things that ticked her off. But Link was used to fairies with oversized mouths, and wasn't listening. He'd talk to Anju tommorrow and make sure she stayed. Back |
