Werewolf!LinkxReader-Midnight Beast Pt.7

Thorn watched his brother Nicolei as the older boy swung the sword he had stolen from Link when he wasn't looking. Nicolei smirked as he swung it and pretended to jab at things.

"Woah..this is pretty cool." he laughed as he swung more. Thorn sat on the ground and watched his brother, smiling and making out words with his hands.

"Do you think they'll notice?"Thorn asked. His brother shrugged.

"Maybe. But I doubt they'll find us out here."The older sibling replied. The two were currently hiding out outside the west gate of Castle Town. Not many people come out there except for Gorons on occasion and that on girl who collects the golden bugs who lived in town.

Other than that, it was pretty quiet and the perfect place for them to hang out without anybody finding them.

"It's getting pretty late..should we head home now?" Thorn questioned, looking up at the dark night sky.

"You can if you want, I'm gonna keep practicing." Nicolei replied, swinging the sword once more. The brunette pouted and sighed.

"I'm not leaving you." he signed to him before laying back and gazing up at the slowly appearing stars. As he stared at the sky, he couldn't help but think back to you. Would you be upset if you knew they stole again even though you and Link had helped them?

Would you find them out here? He sighed and sat up quickly,holding his head. Why was he thinking about you? He couldn't get your face out of his head. He looked up at his brother and waved to get his attention. When Nicolei looked over, he began to sign to him.

"Do you think that girl will be mad at us?"He asks. Nicolei shrugged.

"Who cares." Thorn frowned and looked away.

"I wonder if we'll see her again.."

Nicolei paused and smirked at his younger brother.

"Ew Thorn! Don't tell me you've got a crush on that girl!"he laughed. The brunette blushed deeply and shook his hands quickly.

"N-No way! Of course I don't!"he replied quickly. Nicolei laughed more.

"You totally do! You've got her and her boobs on the brain!"

Thorn stood and glared at his brother, his face a blushing mess.

"I do not! Shut up!"he signed angrily. Nicolei chuckled and approached his brother, patting him on the back.

"Hey don't feel bad Thorn. I was looking too. I mean that outfit on her made me go 'Grrrr baby~' on the inside."

"You shouldn't talk about a girl like that. She's not a piece of meat."

"Whatever. I'm gonna keep practicing." Nicolei turned back away from his brother, only to come face to face with an approaching animal a few feet away. He stared at it, golden orbs gazing into fierce blue ones.

The animal was crouched and snarling at him. He froze as he stared into the beast's eyes, ready to tear him and his brother apart.

~~

You and Link exited the castle and walked through castle town. Night had come and bustle of the town had died down. It was quiet and the oly thing that could be heard were the sounds of the footsteps of marching soldiers that passed by.

"Well..where do we start looking for those two?"You ask, looking over at Link who kept his gaze down. He glanced over at you, sweat beading on his forehead and eyes darkening.

"I think we should split up. We'll find them faster that way."he suggested. You frowned, noticing his sudden sickly appearance.

"I don't know..are you feeling okay? You look ill."you say, reaching to gently touch his face. He pulled away quickly.

"I'm fine, just trust me on this. I wanna find these kids as soon as possible." he says, stepping away. "I'll take the west side, you take East."

"But Link! Wait!" You called after him but the boy was already disappearing down the street. You stood there pouting for a moment before deciding to take off after him. Meanwhile Link was slipping into a back alleyway where he began to give in to his pain.

He clutched his chest tightly and winced as he began to transform. Once again his body changed into the form of a beast. He snarled and slowly exited the alleyway, looking around and sniffing the air.

There was a familiar scent that lingered around. He recognized it to be the scent of Nicolei and Thorn. No doubt about it. Their scent hovered above him like a golden trail in the air which he chased unaware that you were just turning down the alleyway as he was running out of it.

You gasped as you saw a familiar figure rush out of the alley. Though you only saw the backside, you recognized it.

"The wolf..what's it doing here. Oh no, I have to stop it before it hurts somebody!"You cried as you ran after it. "Hey come back here!"

People screamed as the wolf rushed by them. Frantic and panicked people hid and ran away at just the sight of him, but he didn't care.

He paused just for a moment as his eyes scanned the area before locking onto to the scent trail that was flowing outside the west gate. He growled and followed it where he soon found those he was looking for.

Nicolei was in the process of turning around from talking to his brother when the two matched gazes.

The wolf snarled and stalked towards him, bloodlust in his eyes. Nicolei stepped back and held the sword firmly in his grasp as he pushed his brother behind him.

You followed the wolf to the outside where you gasped at the sight of him approaching the two boys.

"Hey! Leave them alone beast!"You called to it, gaining it's attention.  The wolf turned slowly and growled at you which honestly terrified you but you had to lure it away from Nicolei and Thorn.

"Over here!"You called again.

"Tch..Stupid girl, she's gonna get herself killed."Nicolei growled. Thorn gasped and looked up at you as the wolf now began to stalk towards you.

I have to protect her.

He ran quickly, shoving his brother aside and rushing around to stand in front of you with his arms out, glaring at the wolf. However, the sudden movement caused the beast to suddenly lunge for the two of you now.

Nicolei gasped. "Thorn!!"

The brunette boy gasped and winced as the beast latched onto his leg, tearing into the flesh deeply. You gasped and grabbed Thorn by the arms, trying to pry him out of the beasts grip.

"Let him go!"Nicolei shouted as he ran over and swung the sword at it, cutting it and forcing it to withdraw. The wolf growled and lunged at Nicolei now, latching onto his wrist and causing him to cry out as well as drop the sword he had stolen.

"Gaahh!!! Son of a bitch!!"

Brother!! Thorn tried to rush to his brother's aid but collapsed from the pain that shot through his wounded leg. Nicolei held his wrist tightly and fell to his knees, groaning from the pain.

You held onto Thorn and looked around. Where had Link gone? You desperately needed him. Where was he? Where was anyone?? Nicolei looked up as the beast approached him. This was it, he would be mauled to death in front of his brother.

He clenched his teeth and closed his eyes tightly.

Shit...I cant hold a sword with my wrist wounded like this...I'm gonna die..! he thought.

With a loud growl the wolf lunged at Nicolei, aiming for his jugular. However instead of an intense bite there was a soft whimper and the beast moved back. Nicolei looked up, as well as you and Thorn and gasped at the sight of a boy standing in front of him with needles in his hands.

He wore a tight outfit with the colors of black and blue and wore bandages around his head and arms with a long blond braid going down his back. The boy turned to Nicolei briefly, crimson eyes staring at him.

"Get up, quickly!"he ordered and the boy quickly scrambled to his feet.

"Who are you?"Nicolei asked. He was silent for a moment.

"My name...is Sheik, I am the last of the Sheikah."he says.

"The Sheikah?"You question softly.

"Begone beast!"Sheik shouted at the wolf who growled before turning and running back into castle town.

"It's heading into town! We have to go after it and kill it!"Nicolei shouted. He started to give chase to the beast but Sheik stopped him.

"No..do not worry..I shall go after it. You need to stay here and tend to that boy there."he said, pointing to Thorn. "The three of you need to get to the doctor and have your wounds addressed. I will kill it."

"Fuck that! I'm fine! I wanna kill that son of a bitch!"Nicolei objected.

"You must stay with him! Your brother needs you now and you need medical attention as well!"Sheik snapped.

Nicolei growled but he knew he was right. With a heavy sigh, he walked over to Thorn and helped him up, glancing at you. You stood slowly and looked at Sheik.

"Please..Let me come with you. My friend is out there and that wolf it's..."You tell Sheik who stared at you for a moment before shaking his head.

"You should stay with them..I will find your friend and bring him to you."he says.

"I'm not going to sit around and do nothing!!!"You shout.

"You must for now. That wolf is dangerous.."He approached you slowly and placed his hands on your shoulders, red orbs gazing into your own (e/c) eyes. "Trust me."

You bit your lip and pulled away, glaring at him before turning and helping Nicolei assist Thorn to the nearest doctor who resided on the east side of the town which was also a short man with really thick glasses.

He treated Nicolei and Thorn's wounds before grumbling and walking off, leaving the three of you alone.

You sigh deeply and look over at Thorn who was examining his bandaged leg.

I should say something to him..afterall..he did try to save my life...

Sighing once more, you slowly scoot over to the brunette and face him, gaining his attention as well as his brother's.

"Thank you for protecting me like that."You tell him, laying a kiss upon his cheek. Thorn blushed deeply but smiled and waved his hand.

"It was no problem."He signed. Nicolei scoffed as you turned your attention to him.

"Now..as for you, you little thief! Give that sword back! It's suppose to be a gift for the queen!"You demand. He crossed his arms.

"Hmph..no way. It's mine."he stated.

"You little brat! Give it back or else!"you shout. He smirked.

"Or else what?"he tempted.

"I'm gonna beat the crap out of you!"

"Tch..like you could..even if I wanted to give it back, I cant. I left it outside the gate after I dropped it."Nicolei gave a shrug. "And with Morning approaching who knows who could have found it by now."

"Well then we better go get it!"Thorn signed, hopping up. "Come on brother, it's for the queen!"

"Who gives a damn about the queen! What has she ever done for us?!"

"Watch your tongue!"

"Don't tell me what to do, wench!!" You growl, exchanging nasty glares with Nicolei while his brother tried to get between the two of you.

"Fine..don't help us! We'll get the sword back and return it to the queen ourselves!"you say, walking to the exit. Thorn followed, causing Nicolei to growl.

"What? Thorn you're going with her?!"He asked. The brunette looked back at him before nodding and exiting the building with you, leaving Nicolei alone.

He groaned and rolled his eyes before following quickly.

"Fuck..wait for me dammit!"
