Link opens his eyes as he hears someone enter the room. He snaps up into a sitting position to see Perla standing in front of the bed. He blinks as he stares at her. Wow! She's pretty. Why is she white like that? Perla says nothing as she walks up to Link and places her hand on his chest. She pushes back down on the bed. Link found himself obeying her and stares as she climbs up onto the bed with him and places and arm around him. "Relax. I'm not here to hurt you. I'm here to keep you safe."
Link didn't know why but he felt safe in her arms. It was the same secure feeling he had when Vaati held him. Link closes his eyes as warmth over took him.
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
Vaati walks down the halls as he felt anger bubble up inside him. He finally reaches the main chaber where he can hear the organ playing. He pushes the door open, hissing four words with malice. "We had a deal!"
Ganon turns at the sound of Vaati's yelling and smiles. "What are you talking about?"
"Link is mine 'til I say so! In return I gave you the location where he hid those gems and where the maidens are hiding! That includes princess Zelda! I'm sorry that you didn't get the princess, but that doesn't mean you go back on our promise!"
Ganon smiles as he stands and straightens his cape. He then walks up to Vaati. "I do recall you suggesting he stay in this castle, my castle. That makes him my guest who should also abide by my rules. Technically, I can do what I want."
Vaati felt what was left of his color leave his face. How does he fight that? He grits his teeth as he hisses through them his next question. "What will it take to get you to leave him alone?"
Ganons smile turns into an evil grin as he leans over so his face was inches from Vaati. "If you wish for me to leave him alone, why not take his place?"
Vaati's eyes widen in shock. "Are you crazy?!"
"Fine. I guess that leaves me to do whatever I want to your pet."
Vaati stares at Ganon as his grin widens. Finally Vaati sighs in defeat. "Do what you will to me, but leave Link alone."
Ganon's grin was in that of triumph as he heads back to his seat. "Come here."
Vaati approaches as he removes his belt. 'I'm really going to regret this.'
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
Link wakes up as he realizes the girl was gone. He sits up to see sitting at the table with food. "Come, eat. Big brother wants me to take care of you while he is busy."
Link nods as he carefully gets up and walks over to the table. "Who are you?"
"Perla, Vaati's little sister. I have heard much about you from Vaati. How you defeated him and Ganon and everything else. He told me to watch over you after the incident."
Link nods as he realizes she was showing no emotion in her face or voice. He hesitates as he sits at the table and finally stats to eat. He soon found out that he was starving and starts shuffling food in his mouth like a little kid. Well, he is 12. Link swallows his last bite and smiles. ' Like Grandpa always say; a full tummuy is a happy tummy.' Link chuckles at that thought. He looks at Perla to see her still eating in a dignified manner. She did not even seem to notice that Link was done. Link decides to play the ocarina while he waits for her to finish.

Vaati felt sick as he walked back to Link's room. He was limping and wiping his mouth as he went. He was cursing as he went. "One of these days, Ganon, You will pay for this humiliation! You're just lucky I want this boy! That prissy, screable, ignoramus, moronic, deformed, no good, two-faced, motherfucking, sadistic, son-of-a-bitch, child-from-hell, ass-kissing, horrendous, pig-faced, bastard!" (A/N: I ran out of insults.)
When he finally reaches the hidden door, he could hear Link's peaceful playing on the other side. He smiles as he walks in. He could see Perla enjoying Link's playing. He limps over and sits in a chair to listen. Link plays with his eyes close so he did not even notice Vaati entering. When Link finally stops playing, he jumps at the sight of Vaati. Vaati only smiles as he limps over to Link. "Well, I'm glad to see your doing better."
Link only nods as Perla silently gets up, straightens her dress, and leaves the room. Vaati picks Link up and carries him back to the bed. Link notices Vaati's strange movements. "You're hurt..."
Vaati could hardly hear Link's quiet voice but smiles as he understood the meaning. "Just an injury from battle. It will heal soon enough. You don't have to worry."
Link blushes as he turns his head to the side. "I'm not worried about you. I just noticed that you were hurt. That's all."
Vaati shakes his head as he places Link on the bed and gives him an orb. "This will allow you to see your friends as well as anyone and anyplace in all of time and space. You will be able to see Zelda. My sister made it so only those pure of heart can use it. You can see why I can't use it. I have too much darkness in me. If you try hard enough, I'm sure you can be able to communicate with them. This is just to keep you from getting bored."
He turns to leave as Link looks the orb over suspiciously. He looks up in time to see Vaati leave and then looks back at the orb. He then runs over to the table, places it in the center and runs back to the bed where he stares at it from a distance. 'Probably a trick or a dangerous weapon meant to kill me. Maybe it's just a hoax and he is having a laugh over my expense. Either way, I'm not going to fall for it.'
Link sits there staring at the ball for what seems like hours. His face starts out with determind anger but slowly changes to deep curiosity. Finally he slowly climbs down off the bed and one step after another, he cautiously approaches the table with child-like curiosity, and picks up the orb. "I want to talk to Princess Zelda,... please."
The orb fills the room with light as Link prepares for the worse.

Zelda was in Zoras Domain, talking to Princess Ruto about an escape to Termina while the fairy flies over them, when suddenly light fills the room. When the light vanished, a transparent Link was standing in the middle of the room. "LINK!"
Zelda gets up as several scream ghost. "Zelda! I'm not a ghost! I'm talking through a magical orb!"
Everyone quiets down as Zelda's eyes widen. "You're alive?"
"Yes! I'm being held captive in Ganon's castle!"
"Link! Are you okay?"
Link falls silent and turns his head away. Zelda could see the sadness in his eyes. "What's wrong, Link?"
"Can everyone except you, Ruto and Navi leave the room, please?"
All the Zoras left though some seemed eager to listen. When they were gone Ruto then looks at Link with concern. "What happened Link?"
Link's voice was almost inaudible as he spoke. "Ganon molested me..."
Zelda, Ruto and Navi brought their hands to their mouths. Link continues. "He also has taken over most of the lands, including Death Mountain! He is getting help from Vaati!"
Zelda heard all of that but was most concerned about the first one. "Link...Are you okay?...Is there anything I can do?...."
Link thinks for a moment then nods. "Escape! That is all you can do for now. I will talk to you later, as soon as it's safe. Ruto! You need to leave too! The domain is next and if anything happens to you..."
Ruto gives a reassuring smile. "I'll go with Zelda! Don't worry!"
Link nods. "I have to go; Vaati might come back. Any last words?"
Ruto, Zelda, and Navi at the same time: "I love you."
The three girls look at each other with a slight blush on their faces and wide eyes as Link vanishes with a faceas red as a cherry.
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
(A/N) Yes, Ganon does what he wants with Vaati. Yes he is getting away with it...for now.
Sorry for the slow update. Not enough reviews. Please R&R. Coming up next: Sheik enters, Shadow Link takes Lon Lon Ranch by force, and Ganon plays with Vaati at the poor wind mage's expense. Notice that Vaati's taking his sweet time with Link.
