Chapter 10

Well, here we are: Castle Town. The town was the only obstacle in the way of the castle.

We ventured inside and I could already feel a million pairs of eyes on us. It was really irritating.

"Looks as if these people haven't had any travelers in a while." I muttered. Everyone agreed with me. We kept walking until I was stopped by a little girl.

"Excuse me, miss?" She asked, sweetly. I stopped walking and looked at her.

"Yes?" I asked. She blushed a little bit.

"Aren't you the princess of Simbodia?" She asked. I was shocked. She knew who I was? I nodded.

"Yes I am. Why might you be asking?" I asked.

"We have heard a lot of stories about you. You're very popular around here." She told me. I smiled at her. At least I'm popular somewhere.

"What is your name, little girl?" I asked as I got down to her eye-level.

"Beth." She stated.

"Well, Beth. I appreciate you coming up to me and telling me this. It takes a lot of courage." I tell her. She smiles at me.

"Thank you, Princess Lyndsay." She curtsied and I giggle. What a sweet girl.

"Beth, do you mind if I borrow some clothes from you?" I ask her.

"My older sister owns a clothing shop. Maybe she can give you a pair." She grabs my hand and starts pulling me to a shop.

"I'll meet up with you guys later." I call after Karin and Vickitoria. I am then pulled into a shop that has a lot of very vibrant clothes. At the front desk is a tall, slim girl. She has orange hair and light skin. Her eyes are a brownish color. She looks up from her work and blushes.

"Oh, dear! A princess? No one told me of any arrival." He babbled. I giggled.

"It's ok. I just dropped into town." I reassure her. She sighs in relief.

"Thank goddess." She mutters.

"Elizabeth, Princess Lyndsay is wondering if she can borrow some clothes." Beth speaks up. Elizabeth smiles.

"Of course you can. Give me a minute and I'll find you the right outfit." Indeed, a minute later, she hands me a pain a purple converses, white skinnies, and a tight light blue tee. I change quickly.

"Thank you so much." I tell them. The both smile

"Your welcome." Elizabeth replies.

"No problem." Beth says. I wave good-bye and head out to the market place. I go to the town center to see a poor woman playing a weird instrument. It makes a beautiful sound and I walk up to her.

"Excuse me, but what instrument is that?" I ask. She stops playing and looks at me.

"It's an ocarina." She tells me. She then continues on playing. I look at my necklace of a sapphire tear drop and clutch it. I take it off and give it to her. Her eyes go wide and her mouth drops.

"What is this for?" She asks.

"For playing such beautiful music." I tell her as I put it around her neck. She gives me a tight hug and starts crying.

"Thank you so much, Princess Lyndsay." She sobs. I let her go and look at her.

"You are very welcome." She starts playing again and I start to dance along. A lot of people stop walking or talking and look at me. I continue to dance and have a couple of people join me. She then starts playing a very familiar song. I smile to myself and dance until the very end. By now, the whole market place is dancing along with me. Once the music is over, everyone cheers and claps.

"Hoorah for Princess Lyndsay!" One man shouts.

"One of the best dancers I have ever seen!" Another one shouts.

"Well done, Princess Lyndsay!" A lady shouts. I blush.

"Thank you. All of you." I tell them. I say good-bye and make my way to the castle, where two guards stay place.

"Hello, Princess Lyndsay." The one on the right says.

"Hello. Are my friends inside?" I ask. He nods. I start walking when the one on the left stops me.

"If I may say, mam, that was wonderful dancing you did." I smile at him.

"Thank you." I tell him. I then walk in the castle. It was very similar to my own, except a little smaller. At the far end was the throne. There were two staircases on either side of the wall. A huge replica of the Triforce hung above it. I smiled. A servant soon came rushing towards me. He had red hair and had a very light tan. He looked about my age.

"Good evening, Princess Lyndsay. Your friends are this way." He led me to these two great big doors. Assuming it's the library. We walked in and, indeed, everyone was there. They all had changed their clothes. Snake was wearing baggy jeans and a black tank top, Ike was wearing faded jeans with a white button up shirt, Karin was wearing orange kapris and a red tank top, Vickitoria was wearing a black sundress and red ballet flats, Kirby was wearing a baseball cap, Link was still a wolf, Marth was wearing denim jeans with a blue tee, and Dark was wearing black pants, a white button up shirt, and a gray tank top. They looked up and smiled at me.

"Well, it's about time you got here. What were you doing out there?" Vickitoria asked.

"What do you mean?" I asked as I took a seat next to Snake.

"We heard a lot of cheering out there. Cheering for you." Dark said. I blushed.

"I was sorta dancing with the townspeople. There was a poor woman who was playing an ocarina and I started to dance along with it." I told them.

"That explains a lot. I see you also found a new pair of clothes." Karin pointed out.

"Some girl from her shop gave me them." I told them.

"Ok, now that that is solved, we need to find the easiest route that leads from Hyrule to Gerudo Dessert." Ike explained. Soren and I groaned out loud.

"Do we HAVE to go to Gerudo Dessert?" Soren asked.

"We have to go through it." Marth told him.

"Isn't there a different route we can take?" I asked.

"Not unless you want to be on the road for four days." Dark said.

"That's fine." Soren and I said in unison. Everyone had quizzical looks on their faces.

"What's so terrible- oooohhh, I know why." Vickitoria snickered. Soren blushed and I put my head down.

"What?" Karin asked. Vickitoria leaned over and whispered in her ear.

"Ooohh. I remember." Karin smirked.

"Shut up, you two." I told them. They then started laughing.

"What's wrong with Gerudo Dessert?" Marth asked.

"Someone lives there that I don't really like or get along with." I tell them.

"There's a woman there obsessed with me. She's the princess of the place and she wants me to marry her. Only because I had sex with her once." He mumbled the last part, but everyone heard him. Snake almost choked on the soda he was drinking.

"You did what?" Roy exclaimed.

"I was drunk, okay? I didn't know what I was doing." He told everyone. Roy was soon chuckling.

"I would expect that out of Lyndsay. But you, Soren? Never."

"Well, why can't you go to Gerudo Dessert, Lyndsay?" Kirby asks me. I sigh.

"Every time I go there, I'm always attacked by Gerudo boys AND men. They drool all over me and it's really quite disturbing. Only because of that one time." I mumble.

"What did you do?" Dark asks cautiously. I chuckle.

"The very first time I went there, I wore an outfit that I got basically got banned from wearing ever again. Ever since then, ever guy there wants me to marry them." I tell them. Snake snickers.

"Wow, Lyndsay. I would never take you as the bad girl type." I blush deep red and put my head down.

"And I never would expect the bad boy that's in Soren." Roy adds. Soren groans and puts his head down as well. Everyone is soon laughing by now.

"I hate all of you." We say in unison. Soon, one of the servants come rushing in.

"Princess Lyndsay! There is someone here to see you." He bows and sped off. I get up and walk to the door. There, leaning on the doorframe with his arms crossed, is my ex-boyfriend, Dante. I basically go weak in the knees.

"D-D-Dante?" I stutter. He smirks.

"Hello, Lyndsay. Long time no see." He says. I take a couple steps backwards.

"No need to be afraid, kitten. I just came to visit since I was in town." My mouth drops.

"You live in Hyrule?" I ask.

"Of course, baby. Ever since you kicked me out of Simbodia." He starts advancing towards me.

"Get the hell away from me." I growl. He only snickers.

"We feisty today, aren't we?" He is soon only inches away and I punch him in his jaw. He stumbles backwards. I have my hands in fists.

"I said get the hell away from me." I say, menacingly.

"You did it now, girl." He sneers. I grab a vase and hold it at my side. He gets closer and I swing the vase at his head. He ducks and punches me in the face. I recover and knee him in the stomach. I then kick him in his face and he falls over. I grab his arm and twist it behind his back. He yelps in pain. By now, almost every servant is on the scene.

"Someone go get the others!" I hear one of them yell. Dante then flips me around and I fall on my back. I hear footsteps coming at full speed towards us. I get up and grab his arm. I smirk and flip him on his back. He lands with a thud. He gets up and pins me to the wall. By now, I have blood all over my clothes and face, as does he. We're both also panting heavily.

"Don't fucking tempt me. I will beat the living shit out of you." He hisses in my face. I cringe and push him back. He stumbles and I use the opportunity to punch him in his face. Once he's on his knees, I kick him in his face. He accepts defeat by lying on floor and not getting up.

"I think that should be the other way around." I tell him. I look around to see everyone looking at me.

"Lyndsay, who is that?" Roy asks, horrified. I sigh.

"My ex-boyfriend, Dante." I tell them. I can see Snake clutching his fists. Dante is already back on his feet. Snake goes after him and punches him as hard as he could in the face.

"Snake, No!" I push Snake out of the way. The guards are soon taking Dante out of the castle.

"I will get you again." He tells me before the doors are closed.

"Lyndsay, why didn't you let me have a piece of that guy?" Snake asks as we make it back to the library.

"He could have hurt you, Snake." I tell him as I readjust the bag of ice on my eye.

"You beat him with no problems. Except for your eye." Snake argues.

"That's because he wasn't expecting me to fight back." I tell him.

"Lyndsay, I'm only trying to protect you. I don't want you to have a repeat of what he did to you years ago." He tells me. I sigh heavily.

"It will never happen again." I reassure Snake. Everyone is looking at us with 'What the hell?' looks.

"What are you guys talking about?" Soren asks. We both look at him and I put my head down.

"Nothing, Soren. It's only between me and Snake." I reassure him. He still looked like he didn't buy it. I sighed

"Alright. I'll show you." I mumbled a few magic words and, like last time, my white skin disappeared and my ugly, yellowish skin reappeared.

"This is the REAL me." I told them. They all dropped their mouths and had a look of fear on their faces. I mumbled more words and the white skin came back.

"Ok, that's it. I am going to go find that bastard and kick his ass." Marth said, aggravated.

"I'm coming with." Dark added. They both got up and started advancing toward the door. I got up and blocked the door.

"Lyndsay, what are you doing?" Dark asked.

"You can't go." I told them. They had a quizzical look on their faces.

"What are you talking about? He hurt you, Lyndsay. You don't want to get him back?'" Marth asked. I shook my head.

"Trust me, Dante is extremely powerful. He could wipe out all of Castle Town if he wanted to. I can't risk any of you getting hurt." I explained to them.

"You were able to kick his ass. What was that about?" Vickitoria asked.

"I am stronger then him. Only because he gets very vulnerable when I'm around. I have an advantage. You guys don't." I told them.

"We have to at least scold him or something." Karin threw in.

"Then we really will get busted." Snake muttered.

"As long as we don't run into him, we will be good. Right now, we need to find a different route to the Mirror of Twilit." I told them.

"There IS no other route, Lyndsay. We are stuck going through Gerudo Dessert." Roy told me.

"I don't wanna go then." Soren and I whined.

"You guys are going. We will just disguise you both. It wont be too bad."

"That's what you think." Soren mumbled.

"Alright everyone, we need to get some shut eye if we are going to be on our feet all day tomorrow." Snake yawns as he makes his way upstairs.

"That's the best idea I have heard all day." Vickitoria adds as she follows Snake upstairs. Soon, everyone was upstairs in their rooms and sleeping. All except one.

"Oh, goddesses. Please make sure Midna is safe. She is my best friend. I owe a debt to her and this is how I am going to repay her. Hang tight, Midna. We're coming." I then shut off my light and went into a deep sleep.
