In this chapter, my OC Ari is introduced. She's Link's big sister (for now). Ari, please do the disclaimer that I forgot in the prologue.

Ari: Fine, hlf1495 does not own Zelda. She does, however, own me. *grumble*

Link woke up feeling better than he ever had. He knew that it was just the quest's end making him like this, but it was nice anyways. His peace was interrupted by a sinister sounding chuckle. Ganondorf. The man wanted something, Link could tell and so he sat up and listened.

"You're awake. Good. I have your first task. The princess is out there. I want you to pretend to rescue her. Take her out of the castle. Make her think that your loyalties still lie with her. When you escape the castle, I will come and take the golden power that she holds. That is the plan. Do you understand what you must do?"

"Yes sir." Link replied.

"Take your weapons and go. Your sword will break the crystal."

Link nodded and, after strapping on his sword and shield, headed off to betray his princess.

Zelda's POV

I could hardly believe what I was seeing. Link was back. He was unharmed. He was running towards me with all speed. His sword was out. When he got to me, he broke the crystal with his sword.

"We have to get out of here! I knocked Ganon out, but he will wake up soon. We can go to the Fairy Fountain. Its sacred magic will keep him at bay. Come on, run!"

I ran after him. He knew the way through the castle, after all. We didn't see a single monster on the way, though. I found this to be quite strange. Why would our escape be so easy? It was too easy. We got to the doors in no time at all. Link grabbed my wrist and pulled me out of the castle. He then started leading me to a cave. The cave was the Fairy Fountain entrance. I could feel the Great Fairy's energy from here, but, if I looked at the energy everywhere else, I could see a great mass of evil energy at the back of Link's neck. Betrayal. Link was no longer the Hero. I tried to break free of his grip and run to the fountain, but he was far stronger than I was. He just stood there. I waited for the inevitable evil chuckle, and it came. Ganondorf appeared in front of us, blocking the way to the fountain. Link kneeled before him, pulling me down too. Fear. What would Ganon do to me? Anger. What had he done to Link? I started to sqirm, trying to get away.

"I see you have met my new Second-in-command. I chose well, don't you think?" that monster was talking. He was always talking.

"Let us go." I replied, steel in my voice.

"Are you sure that he wants to be let go? Do you want to be a hero again, Link?"

Link shook his head. His grip on my wrist tightened until it hurt. He was angry with me.

"See, he wants to stay here. You aren't going anywhere until I get your sacred power. After that, you may stay as a prisoner, or join my forces with your precious Hero."

I had a small, round object in my free hand, ready to be thrown. "I choose neither." I threw the deku nut. The resulting flash blinded and stunned my captors. I used a Sheikah technique to teleport to Goron City.

Ari's POV

A familiar flash filled the room. When it cleared, the princess stood before me. "Good to see you in one piece, princess. When Link told me Ganon got you, I thought you were done for." Zelda's eyes narrowed at the mention of my brother's name and she turned away when I said Ganon. "Zelda, you're acting weird. What happened there?" I glanced around the room, "and where's Link?" Something inside of Zelda seemed to snap. Uh oh, I got her mad. Time to run. I run into a barrier. "Damn it Zelda! I like this body. I don't want to die and have to grow up all over again. Hm… maybe I'll be a Gerudo next time." Zelda came up to me, and slapped me in the face.

"Why didn't you go with Link? You could've helped us! You could have helped him."

"Look, Zel, I tried to follow him in, but those stupid sages made the bridge only work for you and Link. I bet it was Ruto… she never liked me… wait. Helped him? Is he…dead?

"It would be better for us if he was." Zelda looked like she was going to cry. "H-he joined Ganon, possibly against his will, but he betrayed us all the same. Lieutenant Link now serves our enemy. What are we supposed to do without a Hero?

No. It couldn't be. Link would never, unless he was taken against his will, but he would fight any sort of control, wouldn't he? Oooo was I ever mad at Ganon now! Nobody messes with my little brother's head but me.

"That's it. I'm going to destroy that stupid goddess-damned PIG! Where should I stab him? Head or heart…he doesn't have a heart. Forehead it is then."

"Ariadne!" Zelda, appalled, shouted, "Stop! You can't get into the castle anyways. You are not going, and that is final!"

That stopped me. I couldn't get into the castle, but I could be taken in there.

"Zelda, I'm getting a crazy idea."

"Don't even think…" but I didn't hear the rest of her warning. I was already gone. Gotta love those Sheikah teleportation methods. Thank you, Impa.

Link's POV

I was kneeling before Ganondorf. He had managed to take away my free will. All I had wanted to do was to let the princess escape to the Great Fairy, but I wasn't able to simply open my hand when the time had come. Now she thinks I'm a monster, a traitor. It was your idea to join the King, wasn't it, and you were going to betray him in the end. You would have been a traitor regardless. Goddesses damn that voice! I don't know where it came from. It just started about an hour ago. Now I can't get it to stop.

"Your sister was just brought into my palace." Those words snap my attention back to Ganon. Ari was captured? This is bad. "I'd say they'll take about an hour to get her up here. There are some preparations I would like for you to make. Firstly, I will not have my lieutenant looking so out of place here. You work for me now, so you need to look the part. There is a change of clothes in your room. After that you are to come back here and stand by my side to await our newest guest. You may go now."

This is the part where my body moves on its own and follows the Swine King's orders. Now, now Link, no need to think about your King that way. Shut up, voice. Why are you always so rude to me? Because you deserve it. I'm in my room now. I can see the new outfit. I want to shoot a fire arrow at it. It has a cape, for Farore's sake. It's also all black. It reminds me of Dark Link. I suppose that the Pig wants a Dark Link. Hahaha. I was going to copy my copy. It could be much worse. It could have no hat. He could make you wear a cape and armour. The voice is right. Armour would be worse. At least there was a hat. I was quite fond of my floppy green hat. This outfit had a floppy black hat. By the way, you got changed while you were thinking. Look at yourself. What? Oh. I can move myself again. I'm wearing the entire ensemble, including the cape. My sword is at my waist instead of on my back, and the floppy black hat is on my head. Wait, freedom's gone. Legs are moving by themselves. Damn. If you didn't fight the King, you would never have your freedom taken like this. The voice wants me to surrender. Not happening. I still have my face and voice this time. I can glare at Ganondorf all I want. Maybe I will. You do that, and he'll just keep you from having any facial expressions. Ever. I hate it when the voice is right. I'm at the throne room now. I approach the Pig and stand there, refusing to kneel. I wonder what will happen if I just fight whatever is controlling me. Don't try it. Pain. That's what happens. A sudden flash of true agony forces me to my knees, and then it stops. I told you so. Stupid voice.

"Get to my side. She's almost here." My legs obey. The doors to the throne room open and two Gerudos enter, dragging my sister with them. She glares at Ganondorf with hatred and fury. Wish I could do that right now. She gasps a little when she sees me. My blank expression must creep her out. She goes right back to glaring at Ganondorf with even more intensity than before.

"Let him go you pig!" Yep, that's Ari. I find her scarier than any monster I have ever faced.

"It's quite a shame, you know." The pig said in a strangely smooth voice. "You have so much potential."

"Don't try to recruit me. I'll never serve a filthy, thieving pig like you." I have never seen Ari this angry before.

The filthy, thieving pig sighed. "That's what I thought you would say. Link, kill her." Ari's eyes widen. Mine do too. My legs start walking towards her. Great. Just great.

Ari's POV

"Link, kill her." Link's face is wearing the same expression as mine, wide-eyed shock. I should have known the filthy, thieving pig would do this. I'm going to be killed by my own brother. Link doesn't want to do this, though. I can see it. He stops in front of me. His hand goes for his sword. The blade is out. The tip is at my heart. Link is shaking. He is fighting it. Ganondorf knows this. "Kill her." He shouts. Link spasms as dark energy crackles and flows around him. It looks painful. An orange haze covers Link's eyes. He pulls back his sword and thrusts forward, into me. I say my carefully planned last words.

"It's okay, Link. I'll be right back. Bye for now." Then blackness overtakes me.
