A/N: So sorry for not updating in a long time, but here's the new chapter. Hope you like!
*~*~*~*~*
Malon rolled over, feeling lazy as ever in the morning. Eventually she decided to open her eyes and do something. When she opened her eyes she didn't see the room she was in when she went to sleep instead she was in a similar looking one. She looked around and saw a pot filled with some boiling red liquid.
"Don't worry. That's not for you!" She turned around to the unfamiliar voice. In front of her was a grinning woman with a high ponytail. "So you're Malon?"
"Uh huh. Where am I, and who are you?" Malon asked, rubbing her eyes as she sat up on the bed she was on. She found that she wasn't as surprised as she thought she would be. A lot of things were happening to her in the past couple of days and she didn't find this place to be any stranger.
"Well, you're in the Gerudo Fortress, my name's Karoona. My friend is a guard and she saw a lizafo bringing you here. When she heard you were the queen, she sent you to me so I could, well, make you look like it. Couldn't have you going around in your old rags, now can we?"
"Um, I don't kn..."
"Now... what color do you prefer? White or purple?"
"Can't I just wear my old clothes?"
"Nonsense! Since you can't decide, how about a white top and purple pants? Hold on let me go get them." Malon watched as Karoona walked out and back with clothes in her hands. "Here you go..." The Gerudo handed the outfit to Malon who stared at them. "Well?"
"Um... don't you have anything less... showy?" Malon blushed. She had never wore anything like that before, it looked so different that the dresses that she usually wore. She liked pants but whenever she asked her father if she could get a pair he told her that dresses were more ladylike. She had also never wore anything that showed any more skin than her arms.
"Don't tell me your embarrassed to show a little skin, anyway it's way too hot out here to wear your dress, the fabric it's made of will make you sweat a river. Anyway I guess I'll step out until you put on the clothes I gave you. Call me when your done." Karoona walked out once more and Malon laid the clothes down on the bed.
*~*~*~*~*
Link stopped Epona by a tree in front of Kakariko Village and jumped off. He walked in and spotted two men playing catch with a little ball. He went up to the one in the blue shirt.
"Excuse me." Link said and the man turned around.
"Huh, yeah?"
"I was wondering if you saw a girl come by here... she has long reddish hair, and..."
"Well if you mean my wife then no, that fat woman never gets out of the kitchen, ha..." The man interrupted Link and started laughing with his friend. They then started talking and Link decided to move on and ask someone else.
Link looked around and saw a cuckoo that belonged to the chicken lady, Anju, who was always having trouble with her cuckoos. Link started chasing the chicken which ran away from him. Eventually he caught up to it and picked it up. He found his way to the cuckoo pen and dropped the bird in it.
"Oh Link! Thank you so much, these cuckoos always find a way to escape, where would I be without you? Hey! Get back here!" Anju yelled at the cuckoo which was making its way out of the pen. Anju caught it and threw it back in. Link chuckled at the sight in front of him.
"Heh... no problem, but hey I think you could manage without me."
"Yeah I guess, so is there a reason you're here, or you just passing by?" Anju asked.
"Yeah, there is actually, you know Malon from the ranch right?"
"Uh huh. I go there every once in a while to get food for the cuckoos, and talk to Malon, she's the sweetest little thing, and the animals love her."
"Yep, that's her, well, I've got some bad news, her father thinks she might have been kidnapped." Link saw that Anju wasn't worried at all.
"Her father, Talon, worries too much, he barely lets her go anywhere outside of the ranch after 6:00, she's grown up, she probably just went somewhere to relax."
"But she's been gone for a while now, I have a bad feeling about this. Anyway I just came here to ask if you've seen her."
"No, I haven't but she'll be back before you know it." Anju turned around to find the chicken pen empty. "Oh goddesses here we go again, Link can you help me find the cuckoos?"
"All right." Link sighed, he knew something was wrong, and he couldn't make himself believe that Malon wanted to relax, he knew that she loved the ranch and wouldn't mind staying there. He decided to keep searching for her... after he finished helping Anju.
*~*~*~*~*
"Well you don't look that bad, but I guess all you need is some training. Ok now I need you to come here and sit down." Malon glanced once more at the mirror to see herself in the Gerudo clothes. She noticed that she wasn't as slim and fit as Karoona, and had lighter skin. Malon turned around and sat in the chair that she was told to sit on.
"Alright, we just need to apply some makeup and fix your hair then you're done." Karoona said while opening up a box full of different shades of eyeshadow.
A while later Malon stood in front of the mirror again. Her hair was up in a high ponytail, and Karoona had applied yellow eyeshadow.
"Oh goddess, I can't believe..." Malon said to herself. "I can't be a queen."
Karoona smiled. "Don't worry about that, It'll be simple, and I'll be here to help you out 'till you get the hang of things around here."
"But I don't even want to do this! Why can't I just go home and live my life like I want to? Anyone can be the queen, why me?"
"Well this would be the best way, we wouldn't want a war among us, and none of the girls here will be giving birth for a while. Anyway Nabooru decided that this is the best way, so we'll just have to believe her."
"Who is Nabooru? I thought Ganondorf picked me."
"Of course not, he always asks Nabooru for advice. She's a very important person to the fortress. We tried convincing her to become the queen, but she never stays here for long. She's always outside of here wandering, for whatever her reasons are, but we respect her as if she were the ruler. A lot of us actually treat her better than we do towards Ganondorf."
"I thought that he wasn't the king anymore." Malon said puzzled.
"Oh don't worry he isn't, we all wanted him dead but Nabbie said to keep him alive. Some people think that those two are in love, but I don't believe that. Ganondorf would never be capable of that feeling. I still wonder though, why she wants him to live." Karoona thought for a second then shrugged it off. "Oh well, she has her reasons."
*~*~*~*~*
Malon laid down on her new bed. She was told that she had a few minutes to rest before her training. Malon started to wonder how life would be like living in the fortress. After she realized what she was thinking she stopped. Someone would save her. Then she could go back to living a normal life like she was before.
"Malon? You awake?" Malon turned her head towards the door to find Shavo standing. She got up knowing that it was time to go training.
"Yes, I'm coming." She got off the bed and nervously walked up to the lizafo. She was still a bit afraid of him but Shavo gave a quick caring smile and motioned her to follow him. Malon noticed that he had a more calm and friendly personality then his brother, and she felt better around him than she did just a second ago.
Malon followed Shavo until he led her to another section of the fortress. It was somewhat cooler there since it was blocked from the sun.
"Wait here." Shavo went by the wall at the other end of the room and picked up two blades that were hanging there. He walked back to Malon and handed her one. "Be careful."
Malon reached out and grabbed the handle of the shiny weapon. Shavo weakened his grip on the handle, and Malon suddenly felt the blade get heavier. Shavo noticed this and took back the weapon from Malon.
"I guess these are too advanced for you. Let's find something that'll suit you better. Come here." Shavo walked back to the other side of the room with Malon behind him. As she got closer, Malon noticed all of the different sizes and colors of blades there were.
"Do you see anything you like?" Shavo asked. He grinned at her surprised look. "Well I think that you can pick up the ones with the green jewel." Malon looked for one with a green jewel, they were about half the size of the one Shavo had told her to hold. She finally saw one with a plain brown handle that had two little green jewels on the top and bottom of it.
"Alright, it doesn't look that nice but if that's the one you like." Shavo seemed to read her mind as he took down the one she was looking at. He handed one to her and she took it. It was a bit heavy at first so she grabbed it with both of her hands. "Too heavy is it?" Shavo asked.
"Huh?" Malon looked puzzled.
"You have to hold it with one hand, so you can hold this one too." Malon let go with one hand and took the other one from the lizafo.
"It's heavy!" Malon said trying to keep the blade up.
"Well that's the one you're going to work with. Don't worry we won't start training yet, I want you to get familiar with your weapon first." Shavo watched as Malon tried to keep the blade up, then continued. "So you'll be watching some sword fights for the first couple of days."
"Can you take these from me?" Malon asked. "Please."
Shavo shook his head. "No. I'll be back in a while to check on you." The lizafo walked away leaving Malon alone in the room.
*~*~*~*~*

b.) Ganandorf has a child with all the Gerudos and the children kill everyone and rule the fortress!
c.) Serj and Shavo start a band named Lizafos Of A Down after the people they were named after.
d.) I don't care but whatever you do get Malon and Link together!!!! *heart eyes*
