Author's Note: Here's Midna's POV! Also, just in case you want to get me a gift or something *wink* my Birthday's on May 6. LOL, enjoy the chapter. LOL, I'll quit yapping now.

I automatically sent an energy blast flying at the cell the attack had come from. With a loud BOOM, the metal twisted and collapsed upon itself, leaving time for Link and I to take cover.

"Who are you?" A loud, feminine voice demanded. I didn't dare peek out from behind the wooden crate we were hiding behind.

"Depends on who you are," I called back. I heard Link draw his sword. I did the same. Another bunch of needles hit the wall closer to us. I motioned for Link to move over. He shot a confused glance at me, but listened.

I put my sword in my left hand and lay my shield down on the ground. I stuck the tip of my finger out of the protection of the crate and sent another energy blast, much harder than the last.

Our attacker's protection, or what was left of it, crumbled to dust. "Fuck," the woman muttered. Footsteps led farther down the corridor of cells, but stopped abruptly and then there was a metallic shing.

I peeked out, although it wasn't the smartest idea. A woman, around nineteen, leaned against a cell not too far from ours. She was dressed in a blue suit with white markings on it. Over her mouth was a faded white cloth; on her cheek there was a horizontal cut that started from her nose to the start of her ear. Bangs of bloody hair covered her eyes. The rest of her hair was held in a tight, blonde braid that went to her thighs.

Without warning, Link jumped out of our sanctuary and, shield ready, stood toe-to-toe with her. I jumped out, too, so he wouldn't be fighting alone.

The woman stared intently at Link's right hand, and then dropped her sword. I didn't understand. Was she afraid of his Tri Force? "Thank the Goddesses," She muttered, and, still leaning against the cell door, slid down to the ground. When Link lifted his sword, her face turned panicked and she held up her right hand.

Link gasped, and I hurried to get a better look.

On the back of her bloody hand was a Tri Force, too.

"Tri Force…of Power?" Link asked. He flushed, as if he didn't mean to say it out loud.

"No…it's Wisdom," She said. "The name's Sheik," Sheik added.

I was next to her in an instant, sword to her throat. "What. Did. You. Do. To. ZELDA?" I yelled. The sound echoed through the vacant dungeon.

"Nothing."

"Then how is it that you have the Tri Force of Wisdom?" I demanded. I froze when a low, male voice echoed back to us. A guard had heard me.

"Link, we need to go," I pulled out the Dark Crystal and he stepped close to me, his mouth to my ear.

"We need her."

"No, we need to kill her, Link," I whispered back. Sheik was already getting up.

Link started to protest, but Sheik interrupted. "There's an exit up ahead. I'm leaving—"

"No, you aren't. You will stay with us until I believe you aren't Zelda's murderer," I snapped, still quiet. The guard started to pick up the pace now, and I removed the sword. "You will show us the way out. NOW," I said through clenched teeth. If this woman killed Zelda, she'd be lucky if Link killed her first.

Sheik nodded and, with silent footsteps, dashed down the corridor. This only convinced me that she obviously was an assassin.

Link and I were right behind her. She jumped up onto another wooden crate in a cell and used the palm of her hand to bash the ceiling. A trap door opened with a creak and she lifted herself out. I followed shortly after.

Huge storm clouds hovered over us. It wasn't until I was totally out of the dungeon that I noticed the small snow flakes falling. They stuck to the ground, coating it inch by inch. I looked around and grabbed Sheik's arm roughly. Link took my hand and we ran to the side of the building.

"If that's a real Tri Force, you should be able to warp to Ordon without transforming, Sheik," I added extra venom to her name.

"But you always transformed me into a wolf, Midna. Wouldn't it be the same for her, or would she turn into a beast?" Link asked.

"I warped Zelda and you out without transforming you both. I used most of my power trying not to transform you two, but I managed. You have that Red Chu Jelly, right? Then I'll be fine," I replied. I tried to be nice, but my voice came out bitter. I smiled at him, making sure he understood I was just…just what? Angry? Upset? Saddened?

"Okay," Link said. Sheik nodded. I shut my eyes and warped us.

Breathing heavily, I landed on my knees in Ordon Spring with Link and Sheik. Link reached into his tunic and pulled out a bottle of the jelly. He handed it to me and I drank the bitter, disgusting thing. I felt better, though. That was what counted.

Now that we weren't going to be attacked, I could feel myself become more and more angry. Zelda was murdered—she had to have been! Oh, Zelda…

"Come on," I ordered. Sheik followed behind me, obviously playing innocent.

Link's house was coated with a two inch layer of snow. When he opened the door, Éléazar was poking the fire. I motioned for everyone to sit down.

"Hey, everyone," Éléazar said. He looked up. "Good, everyone's o—" He stopped mid-word. "Who's this?"

"Zelda's murderer," I responded. "We're giving her a comfy home and food. Isn't that great?"

Éléazar opened his mouth to speak, but reconsidered. Link sat down at his two-person table. Éléazar sat on the floor next to Kulak. Sheik leaned against the door. I didn't sit down—I paced. "So, what's your cover story, Sheik?"

"It's not—never mind. I'll summarize it for you. Well, Zelda and I…we were born as one person. When Hyrule fell, Zelda went into hiding. They trained her as a Sheikah—then for a few years we trained and helped people. A brave adventurer ended up saving Hyrule. After that, the Goddesses decided the ruler of Hyrule couldn't have a double identity, so they split us into two people. But the Tri Force only could go to Zelda or me.

"They gave Zelda the Tri Force first—she was ruler. They froze me in stone for about ten thousand years and then, when they thought it was time, they froze Zelda again. We can't get old—we're immortal—and every time one of us 'dies' the Tri Force abandons the stone one. But if one of us is killed, we turn up about three hundred years later, resurrected.

"But every once and a while, one is turned to stone before ten thousand years is up. And the other has to try to save Hyrule. But the one who's frozen gets to choose. She can stay frozen, or she can live and try to save Hyrule—"

"You…you made her turn to stone?" I took a step towards her.

"No, no! Of course not. It's an involuntary choice for both of us. Blame the Goddesses, not me. And if you were frozen, you would want to live, too! Do you think I liked being frozen for ten thousand years?"

"I don't know, maybe you did," I snapped. "Or maybe you're lying."

"Midna, calm down," Kulak said. I turned to him.

"Do you know what murderously enraged means?"

"I believe so," Kulak responded.

"Well, let's put it this way, I'm murderously enraged right now. And you're not helping," I said with venom.

Kulak didn't respond.

"I know you think I purposely harmed Zelda, Midna, but I didn't. If you don't believe me, that's, well, not exactly fine. But you can kill me if you want. But Zelda doesn't come back—ever—if I die."

"You could be lying," I hissed.

"You're right. I could. But are you willing to risk it? Risk Zelda?"

I winced, but walked to her. "If you ever provoke me like that again, I'll take that smile of your face. Don't think I'm kidding," I whispered. Sheik smirked at me.

"Well? We've got to be pro-active. You own any axes?" Sheik asked, facing Link. "We need to build a wall around Ordon."

"Yeah, I don't think that's going to happen overnight. Sorry," I smiled at her. Even if she didn't kill Zelda, I still hated her guts.

"Watch and see. Anyone else helping?" Sheik asked. "And do you have an axe?"

"Yeah. Basement, second shelf on the right," Link said gruffly. He didn't think she killed Zelda—but she wasn't his favorite company in the world. I could tell.

Éléazar had been very quiet. I looked to see if he had fallen asleep, but he was awake, just sitting, looking thoughtful. "Hey, wait up," Éléazar called after Sheik. She waved him out side.

"So, what do you think of the Light Realm, Kulak?" I asked.

"This is the most amazing thing I've ever seen. It's amazing we came from this. The Shadow Goddesses—"

"Let's cut the crap here, Kulak. Our people were banished from here; they go to the Twilight Realm, and all of a sudden, 'Wow! There are Shadow Goddesses!' They were banished—they lost all faith in the Light Realm, so they made up a religion. Admit it, they made it up," I taunted. He was one to change faith in a few seconds. I had already stopped believing in 'Shadow Goddesses' when I first met Link.

He gave me a bashful smile. "Probably true. Maybe I'll convert faith tomorrow—way too tired tonight. Have any place for me to sleep, Link?"

Link flushed. "Hmm. Well, the mattress upstairs is taken by Éléazar. I've been sleeping on the floor, but maybe I could ask Uli for some blankets and pillows."

"That'd be great. Don't forget to tell everyone to lock down. If they need anything, I'm going to have to produce miracles," I called to him on his way out. He nodded and continued to the ladder.

After Link came back with blankets made out of goose down and pillows, he went back outside to check on Sheik and Éléazar. It turns out Éléazar made himself a crutch out of some wood, so he wasn't to be worried about.

Link, Kulak and I went to the basement to sleep. Once we were all settled in, we drifted to sleep quickly.

I awoke to the sound of a gigantic CRASH! and bolted out of bed.
