I just want to say THANK YOU CorruptedAngelIX for following and also Gabrielus Prime for following too!
I wake up on the cold stone of a what? A prison cell "Great." I think. All I can think about is what has happen in these past few days. I get up to look around only to realize that my ankles are shackled. How strong do they think I am? An are they really that stupid to leave me alone, whoever they are. No wait there is one guard but he's pretty alert i'm going to have to wait till he isn't awake. I look down through darkness, I've been pretty beat up, i have scratch marks all over me not to mention a sore throat from the whole chocking incident. Wait someone is opening up the prison who is that? My eyes open wide to see who it is through the darkness, it's coming into my cell.
"Zant." I sneer.
"Good morning princess." he spits.
"What do you want?" I glare at him through the darkness.
"Oh just to rub salt in the wound, you know that MY god has captured the escaped princess with a silly fake arrow trap." He laughs.
"Who is your god?" I ask.
"My god goes by the name of ganon, he is soon to be your god." He sneers.
I go looking around in the darkness maybe just maybe he has my weapons stashed in here. What am I thinking? Zant isn't that stupid.
"So where's your god." I ask
" My god is in fact in a place that I wont tell you." He cackles. I jump up and kick him in the stomach sending him flying against the cage bars, he gets up and opens the door. I run over trying to get through as well, to finish the fight. Forgetting that my ankles are chained I trip and face plant on the ground.
"Have fun dying in here princess." He spits and locks the door. Frustrated I bang my fists on the cell floor, not even realizing that I have knocked a bolt loose on my ankle shackles.
Day after day I sit and wait in silence playing with the chains occasionally getting 'visits' from zant. One day as i'm sitting on the ground playing with my shackles I notice the bolt I knocked loose, I check around to see if anyone's watching I start unscrewing it silently I overhear zant's footsteps on the stairs coming down the stairs.
"Come on." I whisper, my voice is horse and scratchy. Just a little bit further. Yes! Its done i'm free! I throw the shackles off my feet. Wait the cell door , ZANT! I hurry and grab the shackle and replace it as best I can before he comes in.
"Hello princess." Zant smiles.
"Zant." I roll my eyes.
"You've been getting mighty skinny, have you been eating?" He laughs.
All I do is glare, I don't say a word.
"I thought I might tell you that your weapons are never going to be found!" I continue glaring.
"Oh I thought you might want to know that we've found your friend link! Yes he's gone now, so it looks like you're on your own now!" He laughs and lets it sink in.
Link my best friend is dead gone. And I realized what he wanted to asked me, and my answer would've been yes.
"Link if your'e out there somewhere. I do like you a lot, more than just a friend." I think.
"Your a monster, Zant." I whisper. I fight the urge to kick him because of my shackles. Wait! My shackles they're gone! And he's left the door open, Zant has gotten careless. I smile "You're getting careless Zant."
"How, my dear captive?" He snickers.
"Like this!" I yell, even though my voice is still horse. I stand up and deliver a kick that knocks zant to the ground. I stand over him holding my foot to his face pushing his skull to the ground.
"I'm only going to ask this once zant, where are my weapons?" I sneer.
"I'm not telling princess!" He spits.
"Where?" I bark.
"Fine, fine they're at the same place you were captured!" He cries.
"You're foolish coward, Zant." I smile.
"How?"
I smash his skull into the cell floor,ending his pathetic life.
"That's how." I sneer closing the cage and locking it.
I run up the stairs and open the door to a world of sunlight. I shield my eyes and realize that I was in the castle prison, which isn't that far from Lake Hylia. I make a break for the horse grass, ignoring my dying need for food and water. I whistle the tune that should call faith and epona. I sit down and try to get my thoughts sorted. Zant is dead. Zant is dead? Zant is dead! But his god isn't. In all this mess of being captured I remember link. Link! I hear the sounds of faith and epona coming up, I breath a sigh of relief, but it dawns on me that Link is dead. I see the two horses in a distance and link running after them. Link! He's alive! I run over to them.
"Link!" I scream and run over to him and jump into a hug.
"Zelda! You're alive, I thought you were dead for sure then I saw the horses leave!" He cries.
We take care of my food and water issues and I find out that he has picked up all my weapons.
"So about the light arrow." I say sipping on water.
"Oh its right here. I went back and found it after my search for you!" He says holding it up.
"Oh thank goddess." I say hugging him. "Link?"
"Yeah Zelda?"
"Zant's dead. I... I killed him, on my way out. I didn't mean to but my hatred for him got in the way I wasn't thinking! But I did find out his gods name!" I stutter.
"What? What is it?" He asks.
"Ganon." I say.
"Oh well good to know." He glances away.
"Link, I know what you were trying to ask me, and the answer is yes, but not right now we kind of have a problem to sort out but after I would love to." I smile.
That would be fantastic Zelda. Maybe the day of your funeral?" He laughs.
"Its a date." I giggle.
"Zelda I think its time we take a visit to your house."
"Agreed, but how about tomorrow or the day after i'd rather not leave right now." I say looking up.
"Ok should we head to some place to stay a night or two?" Link asks.
"Want to head back to kakariko?" I imply.
"Ok."
Link helps me on my horse because i'm still weak from the capture and we slowly make our way to kakariko.
"Zelda is back, and alive!" Link yells.
"Who did you tell?" I ask
"Just renando and your dad."
"Crap."
We head over to renando's house and walk inside, only to find my father with a very concerned look on his face talking to renando.
"ZELDA! You're alive!" He booms.
"Yes she is but she's weak, we need to stay here for a little while." Link says.
"Of course." Renando walks us over to where we use to stay, and we go upstairs to sleep. Exhausted I collapse on my bed.
"Night Link." I whisper.
"Goodnight Zelda. I'm glad you're ok."
"I'm glad you're alive link." I say eventually dozing off
Cute? Maybe? I don't know but I'M POSTING EARLY! I was just to excited with this chapter! I hope you like it!
