Twilight Prince

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Summary of Last Chapter: Link has been captured by Hyrule (man that sounds odd saying that) and Midna sent out assassins to free him, the assassins being little more than marionette dolls.

A/N: Sorry about not updating… this story will have to be put on hiatus for the next few weeks, at least till May 29th (when I graduate), FEAR NOT! I will certainly get back to it before June (damn job/college).

With the fact I'm graduating this year…things are hectic, sorry all my loyal and obedient readers, I shall try to pull another chapter out of my ass before my job and preparing for college sucks the life out of me. (no I'm not going on vacation).

Link cracked one eye open "Wh-where am I?" He stands up and looks around, noting that the floors and walls are that of a dungeon. Link notices that the only item in the room is a stone bed that he was laying down on. Link sighs and sits down pondering back on what happened after he had killed Aerio.

'Let's see… First, I managed to see the red beam shoot into the sky…meaning I only have one temple left… second, I lost consciousness shortly after that… third I woke up slightly hearing voices, being unable to move… well, shit, looks like I'm back in Hyrule.'

Link is soon interrupted by a guard talking "So… Ned, this…thing… was, is, Link?" the guard continues after a brief pause, perhaps from trying to organize his thoughts "You mean to tell me THE Link who saved us from ganondorf?"

"Yeah, that's what I heard Bryan… perhaps we should move in prisoner… four hundred and thirty-two?" the guard now known as Ned says.

"Are you kidding?" Link notices Bryan shake his head and sigh "We can't put him in with this…thing, he'll get torn to pieces!"

Link, being extremely frustrated at the fact that he's being ignored and treated like an animal, decides to get one of the guards attention, he tries to teleport out of the room but finds that he can't. 'Runes…damn it.' Link looks around and notices a small stone on the floor; he picks it up and chucks it at the guard who he assumes is 'Ned'.

Watching with some amusement as the guard gets hit in the side of the head, and falls over. Link grins and chuckles 'that was unbelievably funny… hehehe.'

As Ned gets up cussing he turns around and stares at Link "Hey! What the hell buddy, what was that for?"

Link snorts "For you not paying attention to me after I repeatedly tried to get it." Link frowns "And now that I have it, I'd like to know when I can go to the bathroom."

Zelda was almost in bliss when she heard Zerig had captured Link. 'Finally! I can make Link work for Hyrule now… all I have to find is that collar…' Zelda smirks as her skin suddenly takes more lively color (1) She ponders on what to do, before she shouts "Zerig!"

Footsteps echo along the corridor as Zerig walks in and stands at attention "Ja? Vhat have du kalled mig for?"

Zelda ponders what she's going to have Zerig do, "Alright, I want you to bring Link to my chambers."Serig nods and walks out.

"Well Link… only a matter of time before you are forced to work for Hyrule again." Zelda smiles darkly and traces gently around a black collar with a red glowing gem 'and if he refuses, I'm sure I can persuade him.' (Any thoughts on what I'm going to make Zelda do? No, not that! GET YOUR MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER DAMNIT!)

The shadows moved with an unearthly grace as they looked around the Hyrulian Castle dungeon, they stared, as if transfixed they all heard a voice that was the leading shadow 'The Prince… is in the lowest level of the castle, free him.'

So, with that, nine shadows moved in the darkness towards their destination. Killing any and all guards around that tried to stop them.

Link was bored. No, scratch that Link was bored out of his mind, he was so bored that it looked fun to bash his hand into the wall (2) 'Well, at least I can wait till whatever is supposed to happen to me happens…'

Link's breathe catches as a sword comes from nowhere and pierces Ned's head from the top of his skull and out of his jaw. Link blinks 'Woah.'

"Ha, hey Ned… Ned?" Bryan looks looks over before he notices Ned is gone, but there's a puddle of blood "N-Ned? N-Ned this isn't funny, come out!" Seeing a figure at the end of the hallway he slowly walks down there "N-Ned?" Bryan looks at the figure closer and notices two sharp blades "Who are you? You're not, Ned…" He hears something and turns around before the last thing he shouted was a scream "Aaaaarrrrgggggggggg-!"

Link mutters 'great, someone's after my head…' Link sighs "Whoever you are, come out and fight me." Link hears a whirring click and a hiss.

"My Prince, Princess Midna has sent us after you to retrieve you, forgive us for the bloody entrance, but we must be quick, for the executioner squad is coming." As the shadow says this it slices the door off it's hinges and tears it out.

Link nods and blinks "Wait… if you guys came al the way here, why couldn't you attack the temples in Twilight?"

The shadow sighed "The beasts are immune to our weapons, and we have tried to already, but enough chat, come." The shadow gestures at Link to follow it, before they both disappear in the darkness.

Zerig is whistling 'Mellan Oss Tvaa'(3) as he walks to the dungeons before he slides on something wet 'Vhat the hell?' Zerig looks down and sees a puddle of blood '…Ve've been breached…' Zerig glares and runs down to where Link's cell is at 'Vell…Zelda's going to kill mig, och…. I suppose I should go report to her that Link has been captured…'

Zerig runs back the way he came to inform Zelda of these new developments.

As Link is running along side the shadows he notices the desert coming closer 'We're almost there.'

As Link finally reaches the temple all the shadows stand around him stationary 'What's going on?' Link wonders. As one of them moves towards the mirror and taps it before they all turn to Link

"My Prince, go through." the lead shadow gestures towards the mirror "We shall follow you."

Link nods and steps into the portal and shortly after the shadows follow.

AN: Sorry bout the Cliffhanger, I had a hard time trying to come up with an ending for this chapter… Anyway, I'm sure you really must have wanted this since I received nearly 20 PM's asking me when I'd get another chapter in (thanks for making me sit on my ass for most of the night and early morning typing this in)

(1): Can't have her look ugly (even if I hate her)

(2): This actually happened to me and a friend once, we were so bored that we took turns punching a cement wall.

(3): A good song by Basshunter, I recommend it to everyone.

AN: Well, read, review, and enjoy.
