The Unexpected Visitor
Chapter 9
Early the next morning Ganon was already planning on how to save Link. As he was discussion the layout of Kokiri village, there was a knock on the door.
Ganon stopped talking and looked up. "Come in!" He said irritably.
A guard came in. "Someone wishes to see you my Lord."
Ganon only nodded and the Guard stepped aside. A boy that looked about Link's age walked in. He looked like he was crying.
The boy stepped forward timidly as he cried then suddenly he fell to him knees at Ganon's feet crying even more. "forgive me my lord!!" The boy exclaimed.
Ganon looked down at the boy, confused.
"I had no choice but I could not bare the guilt anymore.. Please have mercy on me!!!" His cheeks were even redder and he wailed as if in agony.
Ganon understood then. This was the boy that the spy had mentioned in the bar. At first he felt very angry and wanted to even hurt the boy but he looked down at the boy, who begged and pleaded for mercy, as he held onto Ganon's leg, the tears staining his pants. Normally Ganon could easily lose his temper but seeing the boy before him begging him and crying, it stirred something in him. He found himself taking pity on the boy.
He looked down at the boy. "Stop crying already. I am not going to kill you boy. Now stand and tell me what else you have come to say."
The boy slowly stood, sniffling. "Sir, I am soo very sorry. I want to make things right."
Ganon smirked. This was perfect for his plan. He could get the boy to help him rescue Link.
Ganon got in the boy's face. The boy swallowed hard. "I'll tell you what, you help me rescue Link and I'll make sure that princess Zelda will be lenient on you."
The boy nodded. Ganon then pointed to a chair in the corner. The boy then quickly hurried to the chair and sat in it, sniffling.
LATER THAT DAY
The boy returned to where Link was being held captive.
He went inside to where Gloria and their leader was.
"Hi Boss!" He said then waved at Gloria. "Hi Gloria!" He smiled.
Gloria only rolled her eyes. Their boss on the other hand smiled at him.
"So Toft, What is the plan for the day sir?" He asked his boss.
Me and Gloria are going to the Hyrule market and you Sheik will stay here and watch the hostage." He told the boy as he patted his shoulder.
Sheik nodded and they left him there. He waited only a little until they were gone and as soon as they had left, he quickly went over to Link who was watching him intently. Sheik then took off Link's gag.
Link licked his lips. His mouth was so dry, they rarely gave him water. Sheik was the only one who gave Link water and food.
Sheik quickly untied him. "Link, I'm very sorry for everything, but no time to explain. We have to hurry before they get back. I have to get you out of here."
While Link rubbed his wrists, Sheik went to the corner to get his bag and pulled out a long black cloak. He then quickly put the cloak on Link. Link didn't speak, he was very much ready to get out of there so he was not about to waste time with questions now. Sheik also put one on as well and then they both climbed out of the cellar, quickly. There was already a few guards there to escort them to the old abandoned house just across from Gloria's house. As they waited in the abandoned house, the guards guarded the door inside. Sheik and Link waited inside the house, sitting in a corner.
Link was very quiet, staring at the wall. You could say he was in shock, but honestly Link had no idea what to say to the boy. Several seconds of silence passed when Sheik spoke.
"I am so sorry Link, please forgive me." Sheik said looking at Link, waiting for a response.
Link looked at him and gave him a small smile and nodded. This made Sheik smile. Five more minutes passed and Ganon came into the house. He quickly walked over to Link.
He then knelt in front of him. He felt Link's arms frantically searching for injuries he might have. "Are you hurt Link?" He then felt the top of Link's head to see if he had any head injuries.
Link blushed. He had never had anyone to even care whether he was injured or not. "I..I…I'm ok." he said shakily. Maybe he was in shock after all. He wanted to say more but he could not speak. Every time he tried, no sound would come out.
"You're in shock Link." Ganon stated as he took his cape off and wrapped it around Link.
Ganon then stood and picked Link up into his arms and carried him outside. Sheik was then escorted outside by two guards. What he saw outside actually scared him. Both Gloria and Luke were inside the back of a prisoner wagon with their hands tied behind their backs. The prisoner wagon was like a wagon only it had bars on 4 sides. The door in the very back had a big lock on it. At first Sheik was very scared they would put him in the back with them too. Gloria and Luke both, glared at Sheik.
One of the guards then tied sheiks hands in front of him. They then escorted him to the prisoner wagon but instead of putting him in the back, they put him up front with the driver. This made Sheik feel a little better but he still felt scared. He knew that as soon as they arrived at the castle, that they would suffer the consequences of their crime. Ganon had already left with Link in his arms. They all then traveled back to the Castle.
As soon as Ganon arrived back at the castle, he rushed Link up to the bedroom where Link had slept before. Ganon unwrapped link and laid him down and covered him in the covers. Link felt comfort from being in a nice warm bed again. For a week he had to sleep on a hay covered stone floor, tied up. It was very uncomfortable. He stared blankly, in a spaced out kind of way. Link's eye's suddenly began to tear. Ganon sat next to him quietly. He wanted to hold him and comfort him but he decided not to, in fear of scaring the boy.
Link looked over at Ganon, crying now. "Y..Y..you came for me?"
Ganon only nodded quietly.
"I am so happy you did, because Luke had said my time was running out!" He was bawling now. "That's why they went to the marketplace. They were getting s…s…s…stuff…. To….to…to …kill….me and… and…… then….." Link was stammering bad.
He couldn't bring himself to even say that last word. Ganon knew what he was going to say and his eyes had gotten wide. He felt an anger, he had never felt before but it soon died because Link was crying really hard now.
Ganon gently rubbed Link on the back to try and soothe him without scaring him. Link felt kind of embarrassed at the fact that Ganon saw him crying like a child, when in his own mind, he was not supposed to show emotions like this. Link then tried getting out of bed but Ganon stopped him gently making him lay on the bed. Link tried talking but he couldn't get any words out for all stuttering.
"SSSHHH" Ganon shushed him gently getting up onto the bed to lay next to Link.
Link didn't even think about it when he nuzzled close to Ganon crying into his chest, staining Ganon's shirt with his tears. He felt comforted now to know he was safe even if it was in the arms of his enemy. Ganon was surprised that Link snuggled up to him but he gently wrapped his arms around the boy, who was so much smaller than him and caressed his head all the while. They laid there like that for along time as Link cried and Ganon comforting him. Eventually Link could no longer cry anymore and he was so tired from all the crying that he fell asleep with Ganon holding him.
As soon Ganon was sure that Link was a sleep, he gently unwrapped his arms from Link and gently got off the bed. Link must have been exhausted, because he never budged as Ganon got up. Ganon put his cape back on.
Ganon left the room. He then proceeded to where the prisoners were in the back of the castle where the prisoner wagon was stopped. Ganon had already given orders to his soldiers to wait until he was done with Link to do anything with the 3 prisoners. As soon as the prisoner wagon had arrived at the castle, they stopped and sat there as guards stood guard and waited. They had been waiting there for maybe 2 hours. When he arrived, all the guards stood to attention.
He walked over to the prisoner's wagon. First he looked at the boy with the red eyes but then turned away and proceeded to the side of the wagon to get a good look at the prisoners. Gloria he knew but he had never seen the other guy before.
"Well well well…. If it isn't Gloria." Ganon said with a smirk. "I should have known it would be you behind this. Well truth is I figured you were behind it but no matter. Guards, escort these two to the dungeons where they will await to stand trial tomorrow."
Gloria glared at him but said nothing. The guards then escorted them both into the castle towards the dungeons.
A guard walked to Ganon. "Excuse me my lord, what of the boy?"
Ganon rubbed his chin, thinking. The boy had helped him rescue Link and he did come forward to admit what had happened even though he was frightened. He knew he definitely could not put him near the other 2 for that would risky even if they weren't in the same cell. Ganon had seen what happened to people who were considered traitors amongst thieves and murderers too many times. He then decided the tower prison would be best. The tower was usually only for holding royal prisoners but her figured this would keep the boy from the other two and also to show his gratitude for helping him save Link.
"The tower, Cell number one. Put some fresh blankets up there and pillows." Ganon paused.
The guard, stood attention then bowed. "Yes my lord."
As the guards started escorting Sheik into the castle Ganon walked over to the boy and the guards stopped.
Sheik did not make eye contact with Ganon and only looked at the ground.
"Look at me." Ganon ordered calmly.
Sheik timidly met Ganon's eyes and there was no anger in them nor were they cold but they were actually kind.
Ganon sighed. "I am sorry that I have to send you to the castle tower like this, but it is only until tomorrow. The princess will return and tomorrow you three will stand trial."
Sheik tensed and some fear came into his eyes. He didn't expect them to be tried so soon.
Ganon sensed Sheik's fear. "Do not worry though… I assure you that your sentence will not be harsh. I will talk with her of what you have done and she is not harsh towards those who have the courage to step forward and do what is right even if it means betraying those that do wrong."
Sheik let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you lord Ganon."
Ganon shook his head. "no… thank you Sheik. If you had not done what you did, Link would be lost forever. Anyway…" he sighed. "The guards will get you anything you need in your cell."
Sheik only nodded and the guards escorted him into the castle up to the tower where he would await until the next day for trial.
Ok there… and don't worry nothing will happen to sheik…. I promise!!!
Anyway I hope you liked the chapter and thank you for reading! Please review!!!!!!
