Hello, my little pretties! I've got quite a few thank you's to pass around, so bear with me!
To (Blake-Hero of Tyme): Yay! Another review from one of my favorite followers! ;) To answer your question, Emily knows Ganondork because I- *ahem* She is a Zelda fan. Hmmm… probably should've mentioned that earlier, huh? XD
To (Bad Mittens): Yes, this does take place in the 21st Century. The other aspects of where Sarah and Emily are now will be explained later. And the Majora cackle… *shudders* not quite sure what possessed me to do that one… :D
To (Laureen 'The Edge' Lycan): Thanks for the review! Yeah, I'm a writer who gets a little carried away with her descriptions… So I'm glad to hear that it's working out okay! Hope you're enjoying the story so far!
Also, Thank you to Jade the Barbarian, who favorited. Hope you're enjoying everything too! :)
Okay! On with the story!

xoX-Chapter 6-Xox
Emily
My first emotion was fear. DUH.
Then confusion.
...Then suspicion.
Think, Emily... I scolded myself. Ganondorf isn't real.I kept repeating that to myself, over and over, in hopes that I would blink and this nightmare of a man would disappear.
But... There was something about this whole situation. It had an element of wakefulness to it... That made it seem too real to be a dream.
I half hoped he would say something- just to break the silence.
"Are you surprised to see me?" He sneered, as if hearing my thoughts.
I instantly wished he had stayed silent.
The King let out another low chuckle. Just his voice was terrifying, an eerie sound like steel grating against glass. I had a second to wonder how anyone could mimic Ganondorf's voice so well. It was a little freaky. I had no time to react before he stepped forward, lightning quick.
A chill ran down my spine like an icy finger. I had noticed his eyes. A freaky blood-red color rimmed with sunset amber, with a depth that told me that this man was much more than he seemed. His eyes glinted dangerously, even in the soft moonlight. If rage was a color, that would be it.
And there was something about the way he looked at me... That sent ripples through my memory.
The realization struck me like a falling tree.
"I-it... It was you!" I stammered, somehow finding my voice through my shock. The man snorted, as if that were the most obvious thing in the world.
"You were in my backyard the night of the storm! You distorted my reflection in the creek! You-"
"Enough, already." The man interrupted, lacing his voice with triumph, seemingly satisfied that I had found the truth.
"But...why?"
"What can I say? They were failed attempts. If I had only been patient... Waited for you to wander off alone like SHE always did..."
"Who?" I demanded, narrowing my eyes.
Ganon-ish dude ignored me. "Tell me, child of fate... Just how long did you think you could hide from me?" The thin, fear-worn thread holding my patience together snapped. "WHAT are you TALKING ABOUT?"I screamed, struggling against the cold chains. A sudden silence settled over the cell.
Not the Silence I had always known.
"You... Don't know...?" The way-too-confident man standing before me sneered, following his words with a dark laugh. I wasn't scared this time. I gritted my teeth, glaring at him. That only made him laugh harder. "My, my, you're more like the former princess every passing second. Well, the apple doesn't fall very far from the tree, does it?" He said, crimson eyes glittering.
"It seems the reincarnation of Zelda inherited her attitude as well as her power."
A horrible cold pit formed in my stomach. I forced myself to doubt this crazy man's words.
They weren't true. They couldn't be.
Me.
Zelda's reincarnation.
ME.
This was a joke. It had to be.
I searched the eyes of the man before me in a shocked silence, half-hoping he would pull the glare off his face and laugh, and explain that this was all some elaborate prank. I wanted this insanity to stop.
It wasn't funny anymore.
I swallowed hard, trying my very hardest to hold back the glistening tears forming at the rims of my eyes.
I'm not sure when Ganondorf left. But before I knew it, I was curled up in a ball, hot tears trailing silver streaks down my dirty face. I didn't want to be here anymore. I wanted to wake up from this horrible nightmare, and be home in my own bed. But no matter what lies I told myself, the biting chill of the cold stone floor on my bare limbs and chilly draft leaking in from the window above told me otherwise.
This wasn't a joke.
Or a dream.
Or a vision.
No shorter than ten minutes ago, I had been standing before Ganondorf- THE Ganondorf, King of all Evil- at his total and complete mercy.
As I lay there in chains, I realized the horrifying, dark, terrible, bloody truth.
This was real.
THIS WAS REAL.
A little bit of a cliffhanger, but I'm going to save the evil laugh for another chapter, okay? (Sorry, Bad Mittens!) :D
Thank you guys for reading! I'm sorry that was so short! I'm hoping to get the next chapter out tomorrow, but don't hate me (Or worse, do a Majora cackle! LOL) if I don't. Fridays are busy for us homeschoolers!
See y'all later!
