Maria had felt really tired during that ride but she resisted the erg to sleep, but she really did it because she was afraid that Dark Link would kiss her while she was snoozing away. She then looked up at her captor thinking that he doesn't look half bad, that is until he changed from his flesh form to his real form. Every one of his features where the color of a shadow, black even the whites of his eyes where black except his iris' they where that same blood red color that could burn right through you, and she really noticed the fact that he had no pupil. Then she regretted whatever nice she thought about him, especially the one about him half looking half bad, he looks really, really scary. Just above the hill she could see Gerudo Valley waiting at the bottom of the large grassy hills changing as Dark Link neared Gerudo Valley into red gravel stained with its history of bloody wars like the Gerudo Wars, but the only remains of the wars are the decaying skulls and other bones of the brave solders that fought in them trying to defend Hyrule from evil.
Once his horse entered Gerudo territory the red dust flew up as the horse galloped though the canyon, its hooves pounding the surface of the hard, dusty, red gravel. Then a drunken Gerudo carelessly walked out to the middle of the bridge, not realizing Dark Link is ridding back to the Gerudo fortress. So then as soon as the Gerudo saw the galloping horse she screamed, Dark Link saw her and stopped the horse just before it could run her over, then Maria could see her chance of escape so she quietly slipped off of the black stallion, and made a brake for the river but it was too far below to jump for, She didn't know to turn to.
She could hear Dark Link fall off the rearing horse with a scream and a crash, and she got the urge to look back at him even though she shouldn't but she did anyways, then she saw him hit the ground. She didn't realize how close to dark link she really was, and looking up at her, Dark Link jumped up and charged at her! Maria tried to run but fell face forward in the dirt. Then she felt as if someone's boot was on her back, so she looked hoping it's a handsome hero that had come to save her, but no, instead it was the total opposite, it was Dark Link then looking down at her he sighed said to her,
"I never thought you would pull a stunt that and try to escape me princess but as you can see your plan failed." he said grinning at her. Then he set her down on a rock and having some Gerudo hold her still while he tied a rope around hands and a very carefully tight knot around her neck so as not to choke her. Then having found the rag she spit out of her mouth he said,
"Know tell me your name, and how old are you?"
The princess remained silent, not even wanting to answer him about that matter.
"Answer me princess." He said more sternly.
But she shook her head no, defying his command.
"I said answer me wench! And if you don't, you'll never see daylight again!" he yelled, while reaching for his sword grabbing its hilt, feeling very Irritated with the fact that she told him no.
But instead of telling him what he wanted the princess said to him,"No."
Then he got so angry pulled his sword out of it sheath and put it to her neck and said, "Why you little- you're not as important as your mother waseven if your just as pretty." Dark Link hissed into her ear, causing a great discomfort to her eardrum.
Then just before he could insult her again she interrupted and screamed at him, "Just shut up and get away you-you monster!"
Maria suddenly had a feeling she wished she never said that as she tried hard to keep him away from her, then he sheathed his sword and growled, "I'm going to make you obey me whether you want to or not." Then Dark Link slapped her leaving a red mark on her cheek, Maria tried to keep her emotions under control but she was just too angry and tears just kept trickling down her cheeks.
"Bring her in to the fortress!" Dark Link ordered.
The Gerudo guards did as they where told and pulled her. Then Dark Link said, "Well it's getting late my little prisoner, how about we go to the fortress and have a little fun later tonight." Dark Link said deviously. So he pulled the rope on neck, the motion telling her she'd better start moving and he dragged her to the fortress.
As soon as they arrived at the fortress, they blindfolded her and a guard took her to her room, pushed her in, untied her blindfold, slammed the door shut and locked it.
"Oh, sweet merciful Din! Look what I got myself into now." the princess mumbled sarcastically to herself while she worked her way out of her bonds, "And all because I ran away from my warm, safe castle. And conveniently, I get kidnapped by some monster that's probably going to keep me in this cold dingy cell forever!" Then she finished untying herself and found some clothes, there was a strapless light blue top and a silk breechcloth that went to her knees, and was in the same colors as the top and next to the bed there was a pair of shoes; all were the traditional Gerudo style but she didn't care all she wanted was to change her wet, and dirty clothes. She had finished taking her old clothes off and manages to put on the outfit, then she finds a lavender colored ribbon to tie her hair up with. Then all of a sudden she spins around and gasps in horror,
"What on Hyrule are you doing in here?"
~3~
"I can't believe it! Why, when, would and how did he capture her, in fact why is he even alive! I thought I had killed him, and then Zelda and the sages sealed his body in the Evil realm forever with Ganondorf!"
"Hey Link I sense something evil stirring up in Gerudo valley. Oh and what are you talking about?"
"Oh, uh-it's nothing dear; I'll go check Gerudo valley out." He stammered as he remembered Ganons frightening organ tune that also drove Zelda crazy every time she thought about it.
"No Link wait please don't! Last night I had a nightmare that you went to go check that out and Dark Link killed you and took the Triforce of courage from you, then he gave it to Ganondorf who then freed himself from the Evil realm, and took over all of Hyrule but then Dark Link killed Ganondorf and then he took over Hyrule and ruled as King with a strange girl that looked very familiar as his Queen! And I think that dream was a vision Link Zelda sobbed and begged Link. "But it must have been a crazy vision because we sealed Dark Link in the evil realm." Then Link cradled her in his arms and said soothingly,
"Alright Zelda, I won't go to Gerudo valley." And he kissed her forehead.
"Oh thank you Link, thank you so much." Zelda said crying with relief. Then Link instead, sent his messenger to find Nabooru, the sage of spirit.
Luckily Nabooru was going to find Link to tell him of a big problem that she is having with the Gerudo's.
She has been walking for six hours strait but she knows she must stay strong. Then the royal messenger found her and said,
"The king of Hyrule wants to discuss with you an important matter that had just come up."
So Nabooru nodded and followed the messenger to the castle, but she didn't know the old king of Hyrule died, and she also didn't know Link married Zelda, had a family and became the new king of Hyrule.
So Nabooru and the messenger were waking across Hyrule field until five Gerudo thieves jumped out from behind some strange looking bushes and chased them. Nabooru and the messenger started running for their very lives then Nabooru said to the messenger,
"If I knew we were going to be attacked I'd of brought my swords."
Then just a she finished her sentence five more thieves jump out from the strange looking trees in front of them,
"Oh no, they used my own tactic against me!" Nabooru said very upset, "We're in big trouble now!"
Then Link sneaks up on the circle of thieves, and says, "You naughty little thieves, picking on Nabooru and the messenger." Link, riding Epona then charges through the thieves breaking up the circle and also grabbing Nabooru and the messenger, then Link calls to the thieves,
"Well I can't play anymore, I have to go back home but I hope you enjoy the gift I left you!" Link then rides back to the castle with a mischievous grin on his face.

The thieves looked at each other puzzled by what he meant by "gift". Then there was an explosion sending them all flying into the air feeling embarrassed at not realizing his gift was a bomb.
Link and his passengers were entering the market when Nabooru tells Link the problem she is having with all of the Gerudo. Then she notices links gloomy yet angry expression and says,
"What's wrong with you kid?"
"There's nothing wrong with me."
"Yes there is your just trying to hide it from me."
"Then what's wrong with me oh wise sage of sprit?" Link snapped sarcastically at her.
"Well for one thing, you're getting easily irritated for absolutely no reason, and you've got a very worried and angry look on." She replied smoothly.
"Well maybe it's because you haven't stopped calling me kid even though I'm an adult!" he growled.
"Don't you lie to me LINK, so you better tell me what's wrong with you before I get violent!" she yelled to him and apparently it told him he better just tell her the whole story before she starts clobbering him.
Link sighed and told her he would tell her later.
As soon as they arrived at the castle, Zelda was waiting for Link's return; he had just gotten off his horse when she yelled.
"Link your home!" Zelda called as she ran up to him jumping into to his arms nearly knocking him over, Nabooru just laughed at the sight.
"Oh Din, I forgot about the fact of getting run over." Link said.
"Oh Nabooru I didn't see you there! What are you doing here?"
"Well Zelda I'm here to tell you I have a problem."
"Well spit it out already woman!" Link snapped.
"King Link mind your manners?" Zelda said sternly.
"WAIT LINK IS A KING!" Nabooru exclaimed.
"Yes Nabooru I'm the king of Hyrule. You were at the wedding weren't you?"
"No Link I don't think I was, so now all you need is a kid of your own."
"I have a daughter Nabooru, her name is Maria. Weren't you at the baby shower?"
"Well as I was saying," Nabooru said avoiding Link's question,"my problem is the Gerudos kicked me out of the fortress, oh and Link is hiding something from you Zelda."
Link glared at Nabooru because now Zelda will get angry with him.
"Link is this true are you not telling my something?"
"Well-I...um...uuu uuu…w-well you see Zelda." Link stammered; he wondered how he was going to tell Zelda this without making her faint.
"Just say it Link." Zelda said firmly.
"Well honey, uh how am I supposed to tell you this?" He said nervously; Zelda glared at him furiously.
"Well as I was saying dear, I think somehow Dark Link found a way to unseal himself, and yesterday I think he kidnapped our daughter." He said quietly and giving her the black blood stained rag.
"WHAT!" Zelda screamed, she looked at it and then fainted.
