Chapter 22 The next few days passed a blur. Most of the time I spent memorizing the lines I had to speak, and more memorizing of exits and entrances and so forth. Ganondorf was true to his promise of showing me the arena where the actual ceremony would take place. The place was huge. You could have fit my old house, school, and probably the white house in there all together. Apparently there was a lot of dark force types who really wanted to see the Hero of Time croak, especially by the hands of the girl who was supposedly working along side him. When I asked Ganondorf why if there were so many dark forces why couldn't he make a super army, he muttered something and gave me a look that clearly said never to ask that question again. Actually, in general, everyone was pretty nice to me, even if they didn't let me go outside or wouldn't talk to me or anything. They were probably scared of or for me, or still didn't trust me. I could understand that, but it was annoying nonetheless. Once I visited Link and Malon's cell, expecting to have various objects thrown at me. Instead, they simply ignored me-which was somehow worse then yelling and screaming. The day of the ceremony dawned clear, and it looked cold through my window. I was awoken early for a sort of prayer service, then a group of demon-slave-type-things took me back to my room to "prepare" me. Surprisingly, the process was a lot longer then it sounded. Instead of just a bath, I had to wash completely, not to mention hair arranging, make up applying, nail trimming and manicuring, and other things that seemed unnecessary to me-but then again, I wasn't a big fan of the whole beatifying deal. When I finally slipped into the ornate robes, I was amazed to find out that there were like 20 different ties that had to be combined exactly right for the robe to work. I decided that this was definitely the last sacrificing ceremony I was ever going to attend to, let alone participate in. It was just too much work. When I was finally "ready", the demony slave things led me down to the arena. By then it was late afternoon (I wasn't exaggerating when I said the preparation took a while) and it was time for the ceremony to begin. First there was a group singing of some sort of anthem that I couldn't understand a word of, then Ganondorf made his prayer/speech combination. "My friends!" He bellowed. The restless forces calmed down almost immediately. In the audience I could see wolfoses like the one that had mangled my leg, three different kind of skeleton things, and even a few redeads in their own corners, not to mention tons of other ghouls and goblins that I had never seen before. For a second I wished Link was here to identify them all for me, but I pushed the thought away. "My friends! This is the moment of truth, of triumph, of destiny! We have been struggling for years for this to happen-not only will the power of the Goddesses be ours, but our long time enemy, Link, the triple cursed Hero of Time, will be vanquished!" There was a break as the cheering filled the stadium. "Yes, this day has been long in coming-but good things come to those who wait! And we have waited long enough!" Again, cheering echoed around the huge place. I never realized how much they all hated Link. "As you may or may not know, the Hero's sacrifice will be performed by the other world girl, Evalyn, bearer of the Four!" I stepped forward into the light at these words, and more cheering filled the air. I smiled, and hefted the enormous axe they had given me for the ceremony. "Yes, she was against us for a time, but as you can see, she has come to the true side! The great side! And obviously, the most powerful side! And, we thought it was most fitting that the despised Hero would be slain by the girl he thought of as a friend!" This time, the cheering wasn't stopped until they dragged out Link out in chains. His appearance startled me-his hat was gone, and his tunic was ripped in several paces. He was pale and dangerously thin. I felt a little bad for him-rocks, dirt, spittle, and other less pleasant things were hurled at him as he stumbled on to the platform. The two pig-like things Ganondorf had called Moblins dragged him up the stairs and to the block where I was waiting. Despite the size and obvious strength of the Moblins, Link managed to stop in front of me. The look he gave me was filled with such hate that I almost felt physically hit from it. "Traitor!" He hissed. "Turncoat! Weasel! Coward!" he jeered, then spit in my face. One of his guards hit him roughly in the head and tried to drag him to the block, but he managed to stay where he was, even though he was bent in half from the weight of the chains he was in. "Evalyn, I'm glad I'm getting killed tonight! You know why? I was happier when I was naïve and foolish enough to think there was still good in the world! The only thing I regret was ever trusting a piece of scum like you!" He finally allowed the guards to drag him over and put his head on the block. I was stung by his words, but there wasn't any time for self-pity. After his head was put on the block, he didn't even try to escape. He just knelt there. I almost wished he would struggle at least. No one bothered holding him down or tying him down, since it was obvious he had accepted his fate. Ganondorf said a few more words, then it was my turn. I stepped up to the block where Link lay. He wouldn't even look at me, just stared down. The way they had positioned the executioner's block was a little strange. There were two bars that were on foot long poles that came from the bottom, where the Sword, Stone, Ring, and Key lay. The top bar supported Link's forehead while the second one was at the bottom of his neck, so his head would fall in amongst the four objects. In the deathly quiet I put one foot underneath his chest so I could get a better angle for chopping, then raised the axe.
BWA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!! THE WORST CLIFFHANGER IN THE WOOOOOOOOOOOORLD! HA HA!!!! Even though it's kind of obvious she's gonna kill him, IT'S STILL A CLIFFHANGER! WOO HOO!!! Please r+r, and please don't flame me for the cliff hanger ^-^'''
