Authors note: ok well here is my first Zelda fic that I have been planning for a long while. Now for all of you Sheik Fan girls you shall enjoy this I think.
Unblinking Future
As the sun settled into the sky of Hyrule breaking apart the darkness that filled the sky letting it fade to its normal warming blue. The light fell upon the land letting it warm up from the rains that poured down that night. Then sun flooded into the small village of Kakariko waking everyone up from their peaceful slumber. In one home a small boy was already wake pulling his grey shirt over his light blond head. His small blue eyes scanned around the room for his shoes once they were in his sight he quietly walked over to them. He knew he has always been good at sneaking around without being heard even by his parents. He had watched his dad slip by Wolfos at night when he would take him for walks. But only being 8 he wasn't as good as his father but he sure liked to try. Once he reached his dark brown boots he pulled them on quickly then walked over to his window pulling it open letting the crisp cool air rush in.
"Sheik what's taking you so long!" A boy the same age as himself yelled up at him. Sheik frowned then jumped into the tree that was planted by his bedroom window. This was the way he always got out of his room he found it easier then trying to sneak past his parents bedroom door.
" Shut up you idiot or you will get me caught!" He hissed down at his friend Taron. Taron smirked his green eyes sparkling with excitement in his eyes as Sheik jumped down from the tree beside him.
" I wasn't that loud Sheik calm down let go Kigni and Ferane are waiting for us" Taron grinned then ran off in the direction of the forest. Sheik ran after him trailing behind a bit but tried his hardest to keep up. He was a bit slower then Taron was but could keep up usually but today he was had less energy the normal so had some trouble. Once inside the forest it was dead silent all that could be heard was the water falling off the leaves to the ground splashing softly. Sheik stopped to look around carefully he could feel that someone was watching him carefully. It was one of those senses Sheikah's had they could sense when someone was watching them. Sheik could do that most of the time but he was still learning how to use his senses like the others older then him.
"What's wrong?" Taron asked sounding worried.
" Someone is watching us…" he answered looking around. Just when he thought his ears
and senses where playing tricks on him two people jumped out of the trees at him knocking him to the wet ground. Sheik knowing it was his friends laughed pushing them over as they started to play fight throwing each other into different mud puddles. After a few moments the four of them laid on the ground staring up into the sky.
" So how long were you waiting up in those trees?" Sheik asked.
"Not to long but long enough to have out legs ach" Kigni laughed pulling his wet black hair out of his face.
"We where wondering what was taking you so long" Ferane added after his brother. The two of them were twins, short black hair and light violet eyes. If you didn't know them you wouldn't be able to tell them apart, even their parents had troubles telling them apart at times.
"Sorry I was up late training with my Father…" Sheik answered looking up into the sky watching the birds fly by. They laid there drenched in mud and water talking about all different kinds of things.
"Maybe we should start heading back to the village we have been gone for a while," Taron said sitting up.
" I'm not sure if I want to face my parents yet…" Sheik sighed sitting up.
"The longer you put it off the madder they will be" Kigni pointed out. Sheik sighed knowing he was probably right so he got up seeing noticed how dirty and wet he was. The four of them started to walk slowly back to the village when they heard people yelling panicking.
" I wonder what's going on?" Ferane wondered out loud. They looked at each other before they started to run towards the voices.
" I hope they are not worried about us running off again …" Taron ran ahead of the others. Sheik had the nagging feeling that there was something more to it then that when reaching the village his feeling was right. The Sheikah people were running around in a panic some were coming out of their homes with swords and other kinds of weapons. The four boys stood on the hill watching all of this not knowing what was going on. Fear and worry charged itself through him then made him run towards his home. As he got closer to his home he could hear his mother call out for him.
"Sheik! Sheik where are you!" She yelled out cupping her hands to her mouth.
"Mother!" Sheik yelled running up to her. He saw his mother turn around to look at him with tears in her light blue eyes, she looked as if she had just gotten up he long blond hair wall messy.
"Oh Sheik I was so worried" His mother pulled him into her arms. Sheik could hear his mother start to cry softly as she knelt down to hold him.
"Tamara bring him inside before they come back " The strong voice of his father spoke up behind his Mother. Sheiks Mother let go of him then stood up to look at his Father trying to smile softly.
"Yes Fargo" His mother answered quietly leading Sheik inside of his home. His mother led him to the kitchen table letting him sit down as to did his parents.
"What's going on?" Sheik asked looking at his mother then to his father. He heard his mother sigh softly putting her head in her hands trying to fight back her sobs. Sheik looked at his mother in alarm he had never seen her like this before it scared him.
"Nothing that concerns you son, all you need to know if that you are not allowed to leave this house without your mother or I understood?" His Fathers voice picked up its deep tone.
" Yes Father… but I still don't understand what's going on…" Sheik asked again. His father sighed running his hands through his dark blond hair.
"That is for another time Sheik…now go up to your room till we call for you…" His Father ordered. Sheik took it that by the sound of his father's voice he didn't want to talk about it anymore. He nodded at his father then walked towards the stairs before he went up he looked at his mother over his shoulder. Still crying she waved one hand at his as if to say she was fine and to go. Sheik knew better not to question her and headed upstairs to his room slowly.

Sheik sat up in his room on his bed looking out the window watching everyone scramble around. He didn't understand what was going on but all he knew was that it was bad. He was worried that his father would have to go to war like he did a few years ago well that's what his mother told him. He had left just after Sheik was born and came back two years after. His mother said it was horrible and she didn't talk about it very much but more then his father did. He didn't talk about it at all it was too horrible for him Sheik guessed.
" I will have to leave again Tamara…" Sheik heard his father from down the hall. He jumped up and ran towards his door putting his ear to the door.
"What no… not again Fargo you can't what if they come back?" He heard his mother say.
"They wont come here… they will come after me first then word will come to you and you can flee" His father told his mother.
"What will I tell Sheik?" His mother sighed. ' What's going on? Why does father have to leave?' Sheik thought to himself then stopped when he heard his parents started to talk again.
"Tell him the truth… he is old enough to understand now," His fathers voice didn't sound as stressed just sad.
" But he's only a boy he wont understand his destiny!" His mother cried. 'Destiny? My destiny…ok now I am confused' Sheik raised an eyebrow at what he was hearing.
"Tamara he's almost 9 he needs to know the truth… but I must leave… everyone is waiting" He heard his mother cry as his father was heard hugging her.
" Are you going to say goodbye to him?" His heard his mother ask. There was a long pause or they were talking very quiet because Sheik couldn't hear a thing so he opened his door carefully and stuck his head out the door. He gasped to his that his father and mother were not in the hallway anymore.
" FATHER!" Sheik yelled as he ran downstairs towards the door. He couldn't let his father leave before he could say goodbye no matter what he said even if it meant getting grounded he didn't care.
"FATHER WAIT!" He yelled as he ran out the door past his mother. He stood there watching his father walk out the gates to Hyrule field.
"F-f-father…" Sheik sniffed as he watched him go and disappear out of sight.
