Chapter 15: Zelda's worst nightmare
That evening, Link, Fox, Kyo and Terry went to the local tavern to celibrate the first day of the tournament. They had managed to get Impa along and Terry was a bit over his gloomy mood. But Terry was always cheerful when there was free beer. And it was there. Mary and Zelda remained in Toad's inn to talk a bit about... Well, basicly everything. If only Terry had kept his bad mood and stayed in the inn. If only Link had wanted to spend some time alone with Zelda in the inn. If only Fox had wanted to stay in the inn to clean his gun. If only Kyo had stayed in the inn to practise his fighting skills. If only Impa had stayed in the inn to guard the Princess of Hyrule. If only one of them had stayed with the girls, it would've prevented a lot of grief, pain and bloodshed. But fate has a strange way of turning out. If only the girls had not been left alone... But alas, chatting in Zelda's room, the two could not foresee the terrible, terrible things which would happen to them. The pain which would be inflicted upon them and the effects which would spawn forth from this all. "I think Terry's a bit sad. He has suffered so much in his life." Zelda said, sitting on her bed and holding the stuffed bear in her arms. "We all have, Zelda. You have. I. And Terry as well. He shouldn't feel so sorry for himself." Mary, who sat at the other side of the bed, said. "Perhaps. But you have been really trying to get close to him, haven't you?" Zelda said with a teasing voice. "What is that supposed to mean?" Mary said indignant, though hardly meant. "The guys may be blind, but I am not." Zelda said with a sort of mysterious smile.
"Here it is, men. Be quiet. We have to surprise them." a man said as he opened the door to Toad's tavern.
"Well, he IS sort of cute." Mary softly admitted. "I knew it!" Zelda said victoriously.
"What do you want?" Toad said, not trusting the men. "None of your business, mushroom." the leading figure said. "State your business or get out of my tavern." Toad said angry. One of the other men pulled out a gun with a silencer and aimed it at Toad. Without another word, he pulled the trigger and shot Toad through his head. The little being fell backwards without making another sound. The aura wasn't present in his tavern.
"But Terry is so unreachable." Mary said sighing. "I think he doesn't want happiness." Zelda said. "I think he's affraid of it."
"Up the stairs." the leading figure ordered.
"You think so?" Mary asked. "Yes. But I don't think he's unreachable. You should be able to get through to him. Perhaps Link can talk to him." "That would be great!" Mary said enthusiastic.
The leading figure heard the voices of Mary and Zelda and opened the door swiftly.
Zelda noticed the door flying open and her eyes widened in terror. This couldn't be! She let out a horrified shriek and backed away, against the wall. There stood Ganondorf with a devilish twinkle in his eyes. Zelda started to sweat. This was impossible!! He was dead! She got so scared. So incredibly scared. She had never, never experienced such fear in her life. This couldn't be real! NO!! "Get away!" she screamed. "Link! Help me! LINK!!" she screamed, her actions being controlled by her fear. Mary startled by this. Zelda was deadly affraid of this man. The same guy who had set Terry and her free from prison. "Listen, buster. I don't know..." Mary started, but Ganondorf hit her hard in the face, making her fall down on the bed. "I've been waiting for this day, little princess." Ganondorf said with an evil voice. Zelda crawled of the bed, not taking her eyes of Ganondorf. She sat down in the corner of the room, holding the stuffed bear tightly, as if it would give her protection. "Thanks to you, I got ripped to shreds by the Shadows. But my Master revived me. My hatred for you was enough for Him to grant me a place in His grand scheme. And I got a chance to extract revenge upon you. Remeber that night, Zelda? How you screamed? I wanted to become King of Hyrule. I had to marry you for that and that's why I needed a son from you, so that a marriage would become necessary. According to the law, a dishonored princess HAS to marry the one who made her pregnant." Ganondorf stopped in front of Zelda and looked at two men, who awaited his command outside of the room. "You two can have the other girl, but the princess is mine." he said. The men grinned and walked into the room, where they grabbed the fogged Mary and dragged her outside. "Now we have a little privacy." Ganondorf said, casting an evil smile. He kneeled next to Zelda and grabbed her face roughly with his hand. "I don't want your father's kingdom anymore, Zelda. I'm more powerful than anyone now. More powerful than that pathetic boyfriend of yours. More powerful than his loser friends. More powerful than you can ever imagine. And all because of my Master. Last time, I raped you because it was business." Zelda's body shook from the word 'rape'. "But now, little princess, it's for vengeance. To satisfy my hatred for you. This is going to hurt you VERY much." "No, please!" Zelda cried. "Link, help me! LINK!!" she screamed as loud as possible. But her screams and cries were no good. No one could hear her. Except for Mary, but she wasn't able to do a thing. She had tried to escape, but the man had beaten her, tied her up and were busy performing Ganondorf's suggestion. The two girls went through hell, but for Zelda, it was much worse. The terrible memories which she had hidden away from daylight emerged again. And she went through something much worse than the thing years ago.
"I bet he can't find the doorknob." Terry chuckled as Fox was staggering in front of the door to the inn. Link hadn't for once drunk too much and Terry was a living spounge considering booze, but Kyo and Fox were, well, partially demented. Impa hadn't drunk and she was also the less foggy of all. Link laughed at Terry's remark as Fox tried a few times to grab the doorknob. When he finally got it, he turned it and pushed against the door. It didn't open. Time after time he tried, but the thing didn't budge. "Hisss lockettt." Fox muttered. Link sighed, grabbed the doorknob and pulled the door, opening it without any efford at all. "The sign says: Pull." Link said brightly, pointing at a sign which hung in front of the window. Kyo started to laugh out loud. Very loud. "That's what you get after one beer..." Terry sighed, making Link chuckle. Fox stepped into the inn and greeted Toad. "Goottt morrrnink..." he said. Link noticed his tail wasn't making really fresh motions either. Link then noticed there was no Toad, but he saw blood on the counter. "What the..." he murmered and he quickly ran to it. "Wasss she rush?" Fox muttered. When Link looked over the counter, he saw to his horror Toad lying on his back, swimming in his own blood, a hole in his head. "By Din!" Link shouted. A terrible fear suddenly took control of Link. He knew something had happened to Zelda. He just knew it. "The girls!" he yelled as he ran up the stairs. Terry ran after Link as well, worried about the safety of Mary. They ran through the corridor. Suddenly, they heard Mary calling for help in the room next to Zelda's and Terry quickly opened the door to that room. He nearly smashed it out of it's hinges. And then he saw Mary. She lay there, naked, her hands and feet tied up with a rope, a sticky substance covered her legs. Terry didn't know what to say. He was shocked. He had experienced a lot in his life, but this... This was horrible. "M... Mary..." he murmered. "Terry... Thank God you're here!" Mary cried. Link knew Mary was in good hands with Terry, but he feared for Zelda. This horrible thing which had happened to Mary... Zelda would... No! He ran to Zelda's room and opened the door, only to see his girlfriend sitting in the corner of the room, naked as well, franticly holding to the stuffed bear, staring in front of her. Her dress lay in shreds next to her. Her legs were covered with blood and the same sticky substance he had seen with Mary. Her abdomen was also covered in blood and Link could see she was in a complete shock. Her lips moved uncontrolled and her eyes looked foggy. Link ran to her and kneeled next to her. This had to be a nightmare, this couldn't be real. He would wake up any moment now and Zelda would be smiling at him, telling him he had a nightmare. But he didn't wake up as he looked at the desecrated Zelda. Tears rolled down his cheeks. "Not again, Zelda. Why you? It's not fair!" He wrapped his arms around her and held her tight, but she didn't respond. She just kept staring in front of her and didn't let go of the bear.
The next morning, Link and Terry were sitting in chairs, each next to the hospital bed of a girl. Terry next to Mary and Link next to Zelda. A mushroom-doctor stood in between the beds. Link and Terry hadn't slept the entire night and both their eyes were red from tears. Link had never thought Terry was able to cry, but he had seen it now. Mary had suffered a broken nose, but wasn't in such a bad shape as Zelda. She smiled weakly at Terry. She slowly raised her hand, still weak as she was, and slightly tugged Terry's cap. Terry looked at her with such sadness in his eyes, that it made Mary's eyes wet. Zelda was in a much worse shape, as the doctor had told Link. Her vagina was a mess. Torn was the only word for it. The doctor had wondered what kind of animal had done that to her. She had been incredibly violently raped. Her physical wounds would heal over time, but her mental wounds seemed... unable to ever recover. The doctor had tried to tell Link carefully what the odds were that Zelda would ever be normal again, but Link was devastated after he had heard that Zelda would probably never recover. He was torn by guilt. If only he had been there... Fox, Kyo and Impa experienced the same kind of guilty feeling. They were sad and shocked by this all. It was terrible. "Who did this?" Terry asked Mary with a low voice. "Ganondorf." Mary spoke softly, but loud enough for both Terry and Link to hear it. "Ganondorf!" Terry yelled. "No! That's impossible!" Link said, who jumped up from his chair. "Why?" Terry asked. "Zelda and I had killed him during the last tournament. Could he've been revived or something?" "I don't care!" Terry said angry. "Then he's going to die a second time!" Link had seen Terry angry before. Lots of times. But never THIS angry. But he had all reason to be angry. Link was still not really able to comprehend it really. It seemed so unreal. Ganondorf? Than it had been much more of a shock to Zelda than he had assumed. He looked at her. She was still staring in front of her. Each time he looked at her, Link hoped she would wake up and look at him with her pretty eyes, but she didn't. Each time it was a disappointment. Tears formed in his eyes again. "Definetly. He is going to die a second time." Link murmered, not taking his eyes off Zelda. He walked to her and hugged her apathetic body. "I love you, Zelda. I love you so much." he said crying. Fox, who stood at the entrance to the room, swallowed away his tears. The tough pilot remembered how they all had fun while Mary and Zelda had undergone... living hell. Terry looked at Mary. He had promised his dad to look after her and he had failed. He had failed Mary, he had failed his father, he had failed his friends. Friends. They were his friends. He had never had friends. And now, finally having people who accepted him as equel, finally having people who valued him, he had let them down. "Go get some sleep first, Terry." Mary said softly. Terry shook his head. "No. I find that asshole and kill him." Terry said firm. "You need to rest first, Terry. Please, do it for me. I don't want you to die at his hands." Mary said. Terry looked at the floor for a moment. "Okay." he said. Link was still holding Zelda and he was still crying. Terry looked at him. He seemed so miserable. But Zelda would probably never wake up. And she had suffered so much. Link hadn't told them that this had been the second time Ganondorf 'did' her. Terry walked to him and put a hand on his shoulder. "Let's rest, Link. We're going to find and punish that fucker." he said, gnashing his teeth. Link looked up from Zelda. He slowly nodded. Terry and Link said good-bye to Mary. And to Zelda. Though that hadn't much use. Link felt incredibly defeated when they left the hospital. He hadn't been there. He hadn't been there when Zelda had needed him, though he had promised to protect her. He felt no better than Ganondorf...
Had it emotions, it would've laughed. It had tasted fear and sadness. It grew stronger. Not too much time anymore. Soon. Very soon, it would break free. All thanks to the Chosen Ones. It knew they would oppose it. But it would not matter. They would not stand a ghost of a chance.
When Link and Terry went to bed, they both couldn't sleep. Link was the most emotional and cried as he lay on his mattress. He didn't want to sleep in the bed where Zelda had been sleeping, since it still had her wonderful scent in the sheets. He couldn't stand it. It reminded him of that cheerful Zelda. The laughing face and those sparkling eyes filled with happiness. The sparkles were gone now and the smile had changed into a horizontal line. She was basicly gone and would probably never return to him. Never. It all seemed so unfair to him. Why did the good people always had to suffer so much? Zelda had such a pure heart... Little did Link know about how a beautiful young love had been killed on the sea not far from Hyrule. Little did he know about what he was getting himself into. Little did he know that by extracting revenge upon Ganondorf, he would literally plunge the earth into hell. No, he didn't know of these things. He couldn't know. And if he knew, would it make him act differently? No. The only thing he felt was sadness and hatred. He would kill Ganondorf. He would avenge Zelda. Slowly, he drifted of into sleep, only to have a horrible nightmare.
He saw her. Zelda! Amidst the flowers of some garden. She smiled at him, love in her eyes. She wore a dress through which sunlight cast and which allowed Link to see her beautiful body. She had flowers in her hair. She raised a hand which held the most wonderful flower Link had ever seen. "This is my love, Link. Can you catch it?" she said cheerful. She quickly stood up and dashed away laughing. Flowers flew up in the air. She turned around to him and smiled lovingly. "Come, my prince. Try to catch me and my love." She ran off again and Link decided to run after her, feeling happy. He chased her down to some forest in which she disappeared. Link immediatly chased her, laughing as he did. He saw her sitting in the forest meadow, her beauty captivating him as a small bird came and sat on her finger. He walked to her and sat down next to her. She looked at him. "You caught me." she muttered innocently. "Yes, I have." Link said as he stroke her cheek. Suddenly, Zelda groaned and bent forward in agony. The bird startled and flew away. "Zelda what is wrong?" Link asked, startled even more than the bird. Zelda started to scream and Link saw blood dripping down from her face on the gras. "Zelda!" he yelled. He couldn't see her face, but more blood dripped down. She was in horrible pain. Suddenly, she looked at him. Blood came from underneath her eyeballs and her face was full with cuts, blood dripping down. Her eyes started to bulge out of their sockets as she screamed. Then her eyes exploded in a ray of blood, leaving open holes in her head. And she didn't stop screaming.
Link shot awake and sat up straight, looking in the eyes of his best friend Fox. "Link." Fox started. He had put a hand on Link's shoulder. "Ganondorf is here."
That evening, Link, Fox, Kyo and Terry went to the local tavern to celibrate the first day of the tournament. They had managed to get Impa along and Terry was a bit over his gloomy mood.
