A young girl sprinted across the field. She looked behind her, sparkling green eyes showing how frightened she was. Her shoulder-length light brown hair bounced as she ran. She ran into a tree. "Oh, great. Brilliant, Sam," She muttered as she got up. She rubbed her back, smoothing out her red dress, then turned around. She was still being chased. She ran faster, ducking around the trees. The long shadows stretched out as the sun sunk almost below the horizon. Her golden earrings swayed as she ran.

Link galloped up on Epona. He saw Sam, then grinned. He galloped to Sam and grabbed her hand, bringing her onto the horse. "Hey, Sam. Did you get in trouble again?" Link asked his best friend, grinning.

"Yeah," the thirteen-year-old replied.

"What'd you do this time?" Link said, snickering.

"I 'borrowed' a rupee or two from the shops in Hyrule Market," Sam replied.

"How many?" Link asked seriously.

Sam hung her head. "You can't just let me be, can you?" Sam asked, also beginning to grin.

"Nope. I'm 'the bringer of justice to everyone', remember?" Link said. "Now answer my question."

"Twenty rupees," Sam replied.

"Stop stealing, Sam," Link said, his tone getting serious.

"I'll try," Sam said.

"I don't want to see you put in jail. Please stop stealing," Link told her.

"Okay," Sam said.

Unknown to Link and Sam, another girl was lurking in the shadows. The other girl was wearing a dark purple cloak with the hood up. She was also wearing a mask, which covered from her nose upward. Her lips curved upwards in a triumphant smile.

Sam looked at the horizon. The sun had already set and the moon was creeping up behind Death Mountain.

The girl in the shadows smiled. Darkness was her best advantage. She slipped out of the shadows silently and crept to Sam. She hid in the shadows near Sam and waited.

Epona whinnied, frightened.

"What is it, Epona? What is it, girl?" Link said, trying to comfort his horse.

Now was the girl's chance. She leapt upon Sam, covered her mouth, and made a shadow portal.

As Link turned around, he took out his sword and shield. He tried to attack the girl, but the girl jumped into the portal and closed it behind her.

"No! Sam!" Link shouted. He pounded at the ground where Sam had been.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Meanwhile, with Sam and the other girl….

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

"I see you are Link's friend," the girl said, sitting on a large throne at one end of the room.

"Yeah. So?" Sam said. Her weakness was shadow energy, so she was leaning against a

wall, panting and trying to breathe evenly.

"I will use you to get to Link," the girl said.

"Who are you?" Sam asked, frowning.

"I am Galena. I was born when you were and I used to be Ganondorf's younger sister, until your dear friend Link KILLED him!" the girl shouted angrily. She lowered her hood and took off her mask. She had been wearing the cloak and mask so that she would not be harmed by the light; light was the thing she was vulnerable to.

Galena had dark brown hair, purple eyes, and a piercing gaze. Her ears were pierced and had black earrings in them.

"Have you noticed any…similarities between us?" Galena asked, a smirk appearing on her lips.

"Not really…well, there are the earrings, the hair, and the height," Sam said.

"Haven't you realized? I'm your shadow side! Only, unlike Dark Link, the weakling, I can't be beaten easily. And I am much more than a shadow," Galena laughed.

LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
