Alright, here's chapter 6:
6: The Shadow Figure
Tetra was now starting to get used to public speeches. She flew through it talking about how all of the guards will wear Link's garb, how there will be more trains to ride on the Spirit Tracks with, etc. But she didn't mention being pregnant.
It was what happened after the speech that really aroused the crowd.
Just after Tetra's speech, Link got shot by an arrow by a mysterious shadow figure.
"Link!" Tetra shrieked in fear.
He had been shot in his left arm. The shooter must've known that's his good arm.
Gonzo chased after the figure, but couldn't keep up.
Link had now fainted and was taken to the hospital wing of the castle.
"Did you see what he looked like?" Tetra asked hastily.
"No clue," Gonzo replied, panting. "He was wearing all black.
"I thought everyone that lives here was at the speech."
"They were," Niko began, "we just did a head count."
"Then whoever that is doesn't live here," Tetra started.
"Or does he?" questioned Anjean. "I saw him the night you guys arrived here."
"What? And you didn't tell us?" Tetra was surprised.
"I felt no need to tell you."
"I guess there wouldn't be," said Tetra.
Then, a nursemaid came running to them, "Link's going to be fine."
Everyone was happy. Tetra said, "Let's go check on him."
