I LLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEE! Sorry I was gone for so long, my wi-fi is terrible. For an apology, a new fanfic.
There was a plan, the thief went over it in his head. He would take the child, wait for the ransom, then throw the child in a chasm somewhere.
The plan was absolute genius.
He loomed over the sleeping child lying in its crib. He could even seen a few strands of strawberry blonde hair shining in the moonlight that poured through the open window. The child's pointed ears poked out of baby's swaddling clothes, indicating a full blooded Hylian.
He slowly placed his gloved hands in the child's bed, making sure the child never stirred from her slumber. She whined slightly, but went back to snoozing lightly in his arms. He wrapped her in his pitch black coat and went for the open window and sliding down a rope with his free hand. His feet made contact with the ground and he made a beeline for his horse, which, at the sight of him, neighed and pawed at the ground.
He quickly silenced it and hopped on galloping to the gate. His horse jumped over it flawlessly. The thief quickly smiled to himself, he even chuckled slightly. The thought of getting his money brought him pure joy. The horse's hooves made contact with sand as they entered Gerudo desert. There was a terrible sandstrom brewing.
The thief wrapped his coat around his face as much as he could to prevent the possibility of his eyes getting damaged. He also did this with his prize. He winced as the baby started crying. "Shut up, brat," the thief mumbled under his breath. Suddenly, the sound of arrows ripped through the air. Gerudo archers! He snapped the reins of his horse, in hope of going faster.
Suddenly, his horse was hit in his eyes. Neighing in pain, his horse fell to the ground, and so did he. The baby flew from his arms and fell to the soft sand a few feet away. The thief growled at his fallen horse and ran away, forgetting his prize as he did so. A group of three Gerudo came to the remains of the scene. "Hmp, a common thief running away I presume," one said. The other picked up a bundle on the ground, "Let us look at his bounty, it could be of use."
The Gerudo opened the cloth to discover the whining child. "It's a child!" the Gerudo gasped in surprise. "Let me see", the third Gerudo asked. The Gerudo handed the child to the other. She smiled under the cloth over her nose and mouth, "She is beautiful. She must have been stolen for ransom. According to her ears, she is full-blooded Hylian."
"Hylian? We cannot have a Hylian living with the Gerudo," the second Gerudo chimed in.
"We already had a crisis where Koume and Kotake split the new king in two.*"
The third frowned at their replies. "Can we at least try? As the second in command of the Gerudo, I declare that the child shall stay with us." The others looked at each other. They could not argue with the second in command, who was a ruler until the king came of age. "You….. I hope you will not soon regret this decision, Nabooru." the second mumbled. Nabooru smiled as she lightly rocked the baby in her arms, "I know it won't".
Shhhoorrrttt.
*My oc is a male Gerudo who was split when Ganondorf was being conjured by Twinrova. He was later given to the Gorons, and became sage of fire. Sooo... He is basically his brother.
Hope that clears the confusion.
