Chapter 7

Not Fast Enough

As Link walked across the drawbridge he could see Ganon standing on the hill close to Lon Lon Ranch. He could also make out another figure standing in front of Ganon in what appeared to be a battle stance but whoever it was wasn't moving.

"Now remember Zelda I'm going to place you on the ground near Ganon all you have to do is act like you've been knocked out, and then when Ganon turns his back to me that's when I'll act and you'll need to get out of there."

"But Link I think I could be of some help to you if."

"Zelda, please no I couldn't stand it if you were hurt. Now act unconscious were almost there."

Zelda, being hung over Link's shoulder, couldn't see what was going on but quickly closed her eyes keeping as silent as possible not wanting to give away their secret. Link put his eyes on the ground knowing that if Ganon actually saw his face he would know something was wrong.

"Ah, Link so good of you to come."

"Master I have brought you the Princess Zelda as ordered." Link kneeled down placing Zelda on the ground.

"Well done Link, I should have had you do my dirty work before."

"Thank you master," Link said. He quickly stood up and walked toward Ganon to stand next to him.

"Well, well, well Sheikah looks like I have you Hero and your Precious Princess."

Ganon raised his hand toward the Princess making her rise from the ground to stand in an upright position with her feet just a few inches from the ground. Ganon moved towards the Princess and away from Link. Link cursed at himself for not taking that opportunity to attack.

"Ah yes Link you did very well indeed, I see now why you love her she is very beautiful."

Ganon stopped behind the Princess and looked over at Link. He knew this was a trick, ever since he gave Link the key to escape the prison cell he had lost his psychic connection with Link, but he wasn't going to play there game he was going to make it a little more interesting.

"I've decided instead of keeping the Princess for myself we should just kill her instead, and I want you to do it" Ganon said pointing to Impa "And don't tell me you won't because you will."

With that Ganon waved his hand towards Impa and she began to against her will towards Zelda.

"Link," Impa yelled "Link snap out of it. You can't let Ganon do this; you must come back to us."

Zelda couldn't stand it anymore she knew her life was in danger and she needed to know what was going on, so she slowly opened her eyes to get a better sense of her surroundings. She could see Link standing to her left not far away from her and she could see Impa coming closer to her. Why wasn't Link doing something? Had he tricked her into trusting him? She couldn't take it any longer Impa was getting way too close. Zelda quickly opened her eyes and screamed.

This distracted Ganon and Link knew this was his last chance he quickly ran towards Impa knocking her down just before she could reach Zelda, but he couldn't get up fast enough before Ganon reached him and punched him in the face with so much force that it sliced open his cheek and almost knocked him unconscious.

"I should kill you now, but I think I'll go have some fun with Princess Zelda before I do."

Link tried to get up but Ganon quickly kicked him in the stomach making him fall back down.

"If you want her so badly come and find her 'where the shadows can only be seen by truth'."

Ganon moved away from Link and towards Zelda grabbing her by the arm.

"Good bye Hero of Time, I'll take good care of her." Ganon said laughing

"Link, help me please," Zelda screamed trying to get away from Ganon's hold

Link got to his feet and ran at Ganon, he didn't care what happened to him he just couldn't lose Zelda. Zelda quickly reached out to him and just as there finger tips met Zelda disappeared and all he could hear was Ganon's laugh.
