Chapter Eleven is now here! I feel like I haven't updated in forever, but it's only been a little over a week. Ah, I'm strange. Welcome to the Insanity that is my life -_-.

Anyways! I feel like this chapter was a little weird to write, because I never really knew I coulld write like this...

I don't own Legend Of Zelda!


Chapter Eleven

Link's P.O.V

The Gerudo's blade sliced inches from my ear, cutting through a few strands of my hair. She pulled back her arm, and I recognized the movements, back flipping away just a she thrust her sword.

Whew, I thought numbly, pulling out my bow, aiming at the girl. I knocked the bow, making a clear shot.

But the girl knocked the arrow aside swiftly with her sword, and I groaned, annoyed. She was far more advanced than any other Gerudo I've ever gone up against. I couldn't take this too lightly.

Suddenly, there was a loud yell, and I quickly recognized it as Zelda. I felt a pang of guilt, remembering what little Impa had asked of me, and felt a wave of fear, for Zelda's welfare.

I cast a short glance over my shoulder, and then looked back at the Gerudo.

If I can just end this quick enough… I thought to myself, grinding my teeth together.

Trying to find a loophole in the situation, I forgot that I was actually in the battle currently. I didn't even notice when the girl dashed toward me, and swept my leg.

Since I was on the edge of the roof, I slipped clumsily off the side, loosing my footing. Somehow, I managed to catch my fingers rim.

I let out a relieved, thankful sigh, and then cursed myself for my own stupidity.

She kneeled on one knee, leaning over the edge slightly, and snickered. "You'd think the Hero of Time would be more of a challenge," she sneered and I let out a breath of bitter laughter.

"I'm not dead yet," I assure her and she stops laughing. I began to rock on the railing, swinging myself back onto the roof.

I thought about the pain in Zelda's voice, and felt an urgency to run to her side.

I rolled my eyes irritably,and went still, making it look like I'd left an opening, hoping the girl would take advantage of it. She obviously took the bait, because she began to charge again.

Side stepping around her, I wrapped an arm around her neck, gripping the hilt of my sword firmly. I hit her in the back of the head with it, and she slumped to the ground unconscious, letting me sigh in relief.

Zelda, a voice whispered in the back of my mind.

I dropped back to the grass below, pulling up my hood once again before looking for Zelda.

Zelda P.O.V

I stood behind a tall tree, watching arrow after arrow soar through, hitting every victim directly. Turning around, I smiled a little; glad Link's simple plan was playing out well. I was a bit surprised too, because it seemed a little too easy.

Shrugging, I stole another glance in the same direction, taken aback to see Link's arrows had stopped firing. I furrowed my brow curiously, inspecting to see there were still Gerudo roaming around. I leaned forward to see what may have happened.

There are still a few thieves so-

Suddenly, there was a hard kick in my lower back, causing me to fall on my knees, the wind knocked out of me. There was a second kick, even harder this time and I gasped, trying to remember how to breathe.

I looked over my shoulder, to see my attacker was a Gerudo, leaning over me menacingly. She bent over my coughing body, and lifted my head up by my hair.

Leveling my face with hers, she inspected it thoroughly.

"Hm," she said thoughtfully, continuing to look over my struggling form. "You don't happen to be the one taking out all my girls, are you?"

I honestly took out maybe six alone alone, but I wasn't going to tell her that, or anything else. Instead, I kept silent, but continued to try to release her iron grip.

Slowly, she began to unravel the bandages around my face with her free hand.

"You don't follow the description of the girl… but maybe you know where she is, no? What about the Hero. If you tell me I won't kill you," she said it like it was amusing. I glowered at her, as she pulled off the last of the bandages.

I spit in her face once they were all removed, and she slapped me. "You bitch!" she howled, kicking me against the rough bark of the tree's trunk. The girl lashed out a few more times, and I let out a yell in excruciating pain.

"I'll give you one last chance," she growled, and I glared up at her, and she seemed to get the picture.

She shrugged, withdrawing her blade. "Remember, I gave you a chance,"

I shut my eyes tightly, waiting for the pain, which never came. I felt the grip on my hair loosen, before falling limply completely, then I felt something drop on my face, and heard a choked breath.

I opened my eyes slowly, to see the girl, a blade straight through her stomach, and the blood hitting my face.

I just stared, more shocked then anything else. Never had I seen something quite like this, and when I took in what happened, time seemed to have slowed.

The blade was withdrawn from her body and she fell to the ground, dead. I looked up, frightened. But all I saw was Link, wiping the blood off on his cloak.

"I don't really enjoy killing to save people, but what can I do?" He said, reaching a hand out to me. I don't know how long I stared at it, because I still frozen in fear. Eventually he returned it behind his back, noticing that he'd scared me.

"Zelda?" he whispered in a softer tone, and I looked up at him, not sure what to say. "I'm sorry I scared you,"

I slowly turned to look at the dead girl, but changed my mind, knowing I didn't need to see it again. Swallowing, I pushed myself to my feet, and rubbed my eyes wearily. Link pulled my hood back up, hiding my face once again.

"L-let's go,"


I cannot believe I just killed someone off, even though it was barely a minor character.

But that's beside the point. So, please tell me how you liked it, and...

Oh yeah! I was wondering, I kinda need Ganondorf to get some different minions, 'cause I feel like I'm over using the Gerudo... Any suggestions?

And one last thing. One reviewer was a bit confused at my last fight scene with Sheik and the needles. My explanation was you know how Zelda got her memories? Well, I was thinking, she could kinda have some skill remembered from her seven years as a Sheikah.

Did that help? I hope so! Please R&R
