00:07Game. Phantom Hourglass.
00:10Chapter 3
00:11A Misunderstanding
00:13Link and Cielo were still on Linebeck's ship, trying to find the ghost ship and save Tetra.
00:19It got pretty boring at times, sailing for days and days at a time.
00:24Link usually kept himself busy by practicing his sword fighting,
00:28at least when Linebeck wasn't making him do chores around the ship.
00:32At that moment he was showing off some new moves to Cielo,
00:35who cheered him on like any good friend would do.
00:38So, what do you think? Link asked the fairy after finishing the last sword swing and looking at her.
00:44Real good, I'll tell ya, when we find that ghost ship no monster will be able to stand against you,
00:50she replied. The boy visibly blushed, but still smiled pridefully.
00:55He couldn't wait to show them off to Tetra. That is if they ever found her,
01:00and if they did, would she be alright?
01:03With these thoughts in his mind, Link looked down at his feet.
01:06What's wrong? Cielo asked, noticing the sudden change in the blonde boy's mood.
01:12I just really hope Tetra's alright. The fairy's eyes looked down regretfully.
01:17She never knew Tetra, but could see that she and Link were obviously close,
01:21and Link had told her of their past adventures.
01:24Don't worry Link, I'm sure she's fine. We'll find her.
01:28The boy smiled but still didn't look any more encouraged.
01:31Maybe we should change course, he suggested while looking out at the endless sea.
01:36Where do you think we are? You know how bad I am with directions.
01:40There was a short silence. Where does Linebeck keep the sea charts?
01:44Link heard the fairy make a scoffing noise.
01:46God only knows, we could check his cabin, she suggested.
01:51Um...
01:51Link was hesitant.
01:53I don't know, he'd be pretty upset if we were caught.
01:56But he's up by the wheel right now. If we're quick he won't notice.
02:00Link still looked doubtful.
02:02If he does catch us then we can tell him that we were just looking for sea charts.
02:07Which is the truth, nothing wrong with that, the fairy continued to press.
02:12I guess, there isn't any harm in it.
02:14Link gave in, and the two went below deck to the captain's quarters.
02:18The cabin consisted of a large bed, desk and some chests,
02:22some were closed and some were opened filled with odds and ends.
02:25Okay, let's be quick, Link said, sounding nervous.
02:29He went and looked under the bed while Cielo looked through the chests.
02:33When he found nothing under the bed,
02:35Link went over to the dresser and started looking through the drawers.
02:38Let's see, coats, no, shirts, no, pants, no, socks?
02:44Hey, Linebeck wears briefs? Ha ha, Link thought as he opened each drawer.
02:52Jackpot? Cielo suddenly shouted.
02:55You found the sea charts? No, better.
02:58The boy looked over and saw that his friend had opened one of the closed chests
03:02and found it full of gold coins. She jumped in and started swimming in it.
03:07I don't think so, it's Linebeck's. You know how he is,
03:11we'd be skin alive if he found any of his treasure missing.
03:14The fairy pouted. But he wouldn't miss one, would he?
03:19Wouldn't put it past him, he probably counts it all out every night before he goes to bed.
03:23Cielo laughed at the joke. He probably tells it bedtime stories.
03:28Link laughed also.
03:29Well, there doesn't seem to be any charts in here, let's look elsewhere, Link suggested.
03:35Yeah, you're right.
03:37She flew out of the chest, but right when Link wasn't looking,
03:40she grabbed a coin and hid it under her dress. It didn't take long for the boy to notice.
03:45As soon as the fairy flew past him he saw that she was hiding something.
03:49Cielo.
03:50Here Link sounded much like a parent.
03:53Cielo turned around and Link just put out an opened hand. She groaned.
03:58Ah, come on, she said while dropping the coin into the boy's hand.
04:02No, we don't steal, it's wrong.
04:05Just before Link was about to throw the coin back into the chest and close it,
04:09Lineback came into the room.
04:11There you are, what are you doing in my quarters?
04:15He asked looking outraged.
04:17Well we were just looking for the sea charts.
04:19Link stumbled over his words slightly, looking nervous. But the man wasn't looking at Link,
04:25he was staring behind him at the open chest with, his, gold showing for the world to see.
04:30He glared at the two.
04:32You were stealing my treasure.
04:34He roared loudly, making them both jump.
04:37No we weren't, honest.
04:39Link tried to defend himself, but his voice was failing him.
04:43Lineback suddenly noticed that one of the boy's hands was closed up clenching something.
04:48He grabbed Link's hand and forced his fingers open to show the single gold coin in his hand.
04:53You were trying to steal from me.
04:56He accused, grabbing the coin and holding it in front of Link's face.
05:00How dare you try and steal, my, treasure.
05:03No, Lineback let me explain.
05:06Link tried desperately to make his voice heard,
05:08as the older man grabbed him by the arm and dragged him toward his bed.
05:13I'll show you what happens to brats that steal from Lineback.
05:17He tossed Link face down over his bed, placing a hand on his back,
05:21then pulled the belt from his waist with the other hand.
05:24Ciela gasped and covered her eyes, not wanting to witness this.
05:29Lineback raised the belt high in the air after looping it,
05:32and struck the blonde hard over his backside.
05:36This caused a loud cry to come from the boy.
05:38Please Lineback, no. I can explain.
05:42Link pleaded helplessly. But Lineback was hearing none of it.
05:46He continued to strike the Hero of Wind's rear over and over again,
05:50the licks getting harder each time.
05:53Poor Link was bawling by the third hit.
05:56By the fourth he was pleading pathetically.
06:00Well, he was only twelve years old, and Lineback was a full-grown man,
06:04and could swing hard and fast.
06:07Ciela was practically in tears herself, feeling so horrible about what was happening to Link,
06:12when it was all her fault.
06:14Please Lineback stop.
06:16She was also pleading for the end of Link's torture. They all fell on deaf ears.
06:21By the time the man swung the last lick,
06:23Link was crying so hard you couldn't even make out what he was saying anymore.
06:27When he let go of the boy's back, Link fell from the bed and crumbled to the floor,
06:32crying pathetically.
06:34He briefly looked up at Lineback with sad puppy eyes, hoping to see sympathy in the man's eyes.
06:40Lineback looked more uncomfortable than sympathetic.
06:43Like he didn't know how to handle a crying child, and wasn't sure what to do next.
06:48So he decided to just eliminate himself from the problem and grabbed Link by the back of his tunic.
06:54No, wait, Lineback.
06:55The boy choked out through his sobs in light protest.
06:59The man ignored it and dragged the blonde out of the room while Ciela followed.
07:04Once they were both out, he lightly tossed Link aside,
07:07then went back into the cabin slamming the door behind him.
07:10I'm so sorry, Link, Ciela said to the still sniffling boy.
07:15Link used his arm to wipe his eyes, then sniffed loudly.
07:18It's okay, he sniffed again.
07:20It's not your fault.
07:21Yes it is, I was the one that took the coin. I should have been punished.
07:26It's over now, let's just forget about it.
07:29Link reached down to carefully rub his backside, wincing slightly at the contact.
07:34It was just a misunderstanding.
07:36Yeah, one that you paid for.
07:38Let's keep looking for the sea charts. It's not like I want to go sit down.
07:43With that, the two continued searching around the ship for the sea charts.
07:47Hopefully finding them wouldn't earn them another penalty.
07:50The End
07:51Note from the Author
07:53Thank you for reading.
07:54Sorry, Lineback fans.
07:57I didn't mean to make him out as such a meaniehead.
07:59I was just trying to keep him in character.
