Sorry I took so long to update! I don't own Legend of Zelda! Her's Chapter Two!

Chapter Two

I staggered forward, clutching my stomach as tears silently raced down my cheeks, sobs wracking my body. I held onto the wall and in the shadows, not wanting people to get in my way of traveling towards the entrance to the castle.

I looked around me, the people becoming blobs of color and mixing with the sound, making me trip and let out a little scream, my tears falling more quickly and heavily than before.

"Help..." I whispered, "HELP ME!"

My vision started fading as I felt small yet muscular arms pick me up. "It's okay, you're safe... you can rest," I heard a boy sooth. I only had one last thought before falling into the shadows of sleep's awaiting arms.

'His eyes are like rubies'

"...o you think she'll wake up?" I heard a childlike male voice ask.

"She'll be up any min-" I groaned, interrupting the woman that was answering
the question as I sat up very slowly.

I eased opened my bright blue eyes, groggily looking about the room. Like
a hospital, the room was bathed in white. Save for the bedspreads, which were and array of green, red and blue, and the doctor and her patients, everything was cast in that sickening, sterile hue.

"Where 'm I?" I asked, my voice thick with sleep and juvenile curiosity.

A boy around ten years of age walked up to me. He was garbed in skintight black cloth and boots. A length of lighter-colored fabric encircled his neck and head, leaving only his eyes and a few tufts of hair visible. Though the lower half of his face was hidden, his eyes gleamed with mirth. He was smiling.

"What's with the get-up?" I asked.

A funny oval shape appeared on his mask where, uncovered, his mouth should have been. Ruby eyes glared at me, daring me to say anything else about his all-black outfit. Finally, he answered.

"You're in Hyrule Castle's infirmary, and I'm training to become a fully recognized Sheikah!" The boy replied, a sense of pride mingled with annoyance in his words.

"Sooooooooooooooooooooo…" I started, "What am I going to do now?"

She stood, looking down at me for a few moments, as if watching for any sign of possible injury to erupt from my barrage of questions. At long last, she gave the slightest of shrugs and answered simply.

"You're going back home."

I looked down, thinking about Amaya.

'Amaya is my home, she belongs in my heart and always will have a home in me, but for all I know, she could be..could be...'

Tears swelled in my eyes. "I don't- I don't have a home."

To anyone that knew me truthfully (those being few, indeed) would have known I wasn't crying about the lack of home-after all, what sort of "home" would anyone long for that was merely miniscule concentration camp trussed up like a suburban household? But without my sister, the person who was more like an extension of my own body and soul...

A pang in my chest made me realize that I had never gone this long without her.

The woman looked at me sympathetically while the boy's ruby red eyes widened in response. "What's your name?" I questioned, looking at the boy.

"My name is Sheik," he said, his eyes squinting with renewed happiness, pretending as though he was blind to the grief on my face. "Nice to meet you! What's your name?"

Shiek walked over to me and, gently pushing me farther to the left edge so he could sit, plopped down next to me. I wiped the salty trickles from my face quickly and attempted to mirror his cheerfulness.

"My name," my lips tweaked into a shaky smile, "is Sasaki no Ruzu."
