Ace: Hi! Just to let you guys know, there won't be any yaoi in this story- just Link getting tormented by Ghirahim's presence.

Disclaimer: I don't own Zelda.


Chapter 1-The Beginning of My Torture

Link

"Hey Link, are we there yet?" My little sister Aryll asked.

"No, we're not," I responded.

"Are we there yet?"

"You just asked that two seconds ago."

"Actually, it was 10 seconds ago."

"Who cares?"

"Are we there yet?" She asked again, ignoring my question.

I sighed. Having a little sister around can be annoying. It's worse when you're riding horses to your home, and your sister decides to bug you to entertain herself.

"We're getting close!" I said.

The mansion came into view. It was grey, with majestic doors, and it was about 3 stories-

Aryll raced off. She began to giggle and urged her horse to go faster.

I swear that one of these days she'll get herself hurt. And I don't want that to happen.

"Aryll, slow down!" I urged Epona to go faster and tried to catch up with Aryll.

She laughed. I was close to getting her when she stopped suddenly near the stables. I NEARLY fell off of Epona in the process, but I'm an excellent horse rider, so I didn't.

"Are we there yet?" Aryll asked.

"Yes, we are," I said. "And I just said that like fifty seconds ago!"

Aryll giggled. "You're very funny Link."

"No, I'm not."

"Yes you are."

"No, I'm not,"

"Yeah, you are."

"Am not."

"Are too."

"Am not."

"Are too, big brother."

"I AM NOT TRYING TO BE FUNNY!"

Laughing, Aryll tried to jump off her horse, but her foot got stuck in the saddle, so she fell flat on her face.

"Aryll? Are you alright?" I jumped off Epona and ran to her side. Gently, I picked her up.

She nodded. "I think I am."

I smiled. "Good. Now don't do anything stupid before we enter our house."

"Link?" Aryll asked.

"What?"

"Why do we live in mansion again?"

I sighed. "Remember. Dad was from a prestigious line of knights, and after he and Mom were killed, we should have inherited it then, but we were living in Ordon village with Rusl. Princess Zelda was looking through some records recently, and found out that this was ours, so she told us to move here." While I was saying this, I led Epona and Aryll's horse into the stable and shut the gate behind me.

"I liked Ordon Village better. The people were nicer," Aryll said sadly.

I nodded. "And we didn't have to deal with Zelda..."

Aryll just looked at me. "Are you still upset about the ballroom incident?"

"Maybe."

"Come on, let's go!" Aryll suddenly grabbed my hand and yanked me forward. I had no choice but do let her do it. It was either that, or I have to endure her calling me a slowpoke.

As we got closer to the door, I released Aryll's hand. I rummaged my pouch for the keys to the mansion, and eventually grabbed them. Aryll grabbed the keys from my hands and proceeded to unlock the door.

I expected the smell of a place that's been locked up for years, but instead I smelled... Flowers? That's bizarre.

"Didn't Zelda say that this place was abandoned for 9 years?" I muttered to myself. "Seems like it's been used recently..."

Aryll overheard me. "Maybe there's a ninja or thief that moved in between the 9 years we were in Ordon."

"Why would a thief have the smell of flowers in a house?" I asked.

She thought for a second. "Maybe because they do floral arranging in their spare time."

I facepalmed myself.. "I doubt that's possible." I gripped the Master Sword tightly, and entered our home.

There wasn't anyone in the entrance, but what creeped me out was the decor. It looked like our house... 9 years ago before my parents were killed. It felt like I was stepping back in time.

Aryll raced off to the living room, which was to the left of the entrance room. I chased after her and I nearly had a heart attack when I entered the room.

Ghirahim, one of my worst enemies, was wearing a red sparkly bathrobe and was sitting on our couch, watching TV.


Ace: Actually, I expected Link to attack Ghirahim on sight, but then again, if your worst enemy is wearing a bathrobe and is sitting on your couch, you would probably be in shock too. Question is, how long has Ghirahim been living there? And how did he enter, considering that the door was locked?

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter. Chapter two will come up later.
