Gabrielle pushed her hair back from her face. She mentally made a list of what her plan would require; she had it all, save one thing…Katrina.
Katrina's eyes probed the dark room for no apparent reason. She knew it well. A feeling of uneasiness controlled her mind forcing her to look around.
Check every corner…check everywhere
And even so she found nothing amiss. She found…nothing. She shivered for she knew that she was not alone. A figure cloaked in darkness stepped towards her, but it came from behind…unnoticed. In the dark a hand reached for Katrina's mouth, but she paid it no mind. She didn't notice. Making no sound it clasped itself over her mouth to suppress her scream. Something struck her in the head. Her eyes widened before closing in a blanket of unconsciousness. Gabrielle laughed.
A knock on his door awoke Link. He opened his eyes and looked around. How long had he been sleeping? Too long. Another knock.
"I'm coming."
And another.
"I'm coming." He said again as he stood up and began to walk towards the door.
Still another knock echoed through the small house snapping Link's last strand of patience. He opened the door.
"I said I was coming…"
He stopped short in the middle of his sentence. A mail carrier wearing the royal seal. The man shoved a letter into Link's chest, but he did not turn to go. The two started at each other for a moment. The man grunted and gestured towards the letter that Link held. Link looked at him greatly perplexed. Did he want it back? The man grunted again, but he did not annunciate any words. Link stared at him his mouth opened slightly.
"Open." Said the man finally.
Link gently removed the seal and opened the letter. The man grunted.
"Read."
Link arched his eyebrows, but he read the letter obediently. He looked up, and in an instant the man snatched the letter away and walked off. Link frowned and closed the door.
"Some people…"
A knock on the door snapped Zelda out of her daze. She shook her head and went to open the door. Impa handed her a letter.
"For some reason, Princess, your father felt to put it in writing…"
Zelda read the letter in silence.
"Why is father having a …small party…and exactly how small is it…?"
Impa shrugged as Zelda handed her the note. She didn't have clue. The King was a strange man, but he held a lot of respect among his people. He was not one to be questioned nor disobeyed. Impa's train of thought was halted by a tap on her shoulder. She spun around to find a strange looking man. He snatched the letter and walked away calmly. Impa clenched her teeth, but she made no complaint.
Katrina opened her eyes. Darkness was the only apparent thing in her vision. She pressed her palms to the ground. Cool dirt. She was outside. Underground. She flinched at the thought.
"Good morning, Katrina…. sleep well?" asked Gabrielle casually.
"No…"
"Aww that's too bad…you won't be sleeping tonight either."
Katrina flinched again at her words.
"Why not?" she inquired.
Gabrielle smiled cheerfully.
"We're going to a party…"
Zelda looked at her reflection in the mirror. She never looked like she hoped, but tonight she didn't care. She didn't even know what was going on nor what this party was. She secured her hair in place and walked down the stairs. It was a small party, but it was big enough. Yet small enough for her to see a familiar young man standing in the corner looking uneasy.
"Link!"
His head jerked up abruptly.
"Princess…?"
