"Let me do it!" whispered a Gerudo.

" No I'm better at it." The other whispered back.

"Scorpion told me to pick the lock!" The first said.

"Fine , here." Said the second. The lock was picked in a matter of seconds. " Signal the others, I'm going in."

Hyrule palace Ball room.

"Where's Zelda Gone?" Link thought when he was grabbed by large, rocky arms.

"Sworn Brother! Good to see you!" said Daruna. " What's the matter? Your face is turning strange colors."

"Can't…Breathe…" Link gasped

"Oh, sorry." Said Daruna, releasing Link.

" Have you seen Zelda?" asked Link.

Daruna was about to answer, when he saw Zelda sneaking up behind Link putting a finger to her lips. "Sorry Sworn Brother, I haven't." Zelda covered Link's eyes

" Guess Who?"

" The most beautiful women in the world?" asked Link smiling

"Which would be?" asked Zelda also smiling.

"Zelda!" said Link.

" Once we cross the drawbridge we will see the Ballroom's front door. The others are waiting at other entrances, when I give the signal they will join us, and Link's punishment will begin." Said Scorpion. "Let's go."

Link heard a slow song playing, he turned around to face Zelda and bowed "May I have this dance?" he asked.

Zelda curtsied, "Of course."

The couple walked to the dance floor, hand in hand. Link placed his arms around Zelda's waist and pulled her close. Zelda placed her arms Link's neck and rested her head against his chest. 'I wish we could stay like this forever.' Link thought. "It just feels so right, so perfect." That's when he heard the yell.

"LONG LIVE GANNDORF!" Gerudo burst in through every door, and dropped in from every window. They lashed out with spear at the nearest person. Link tried to fight them but his body wouldn't move.AN Zelda and Link had released each other when they heard the yell A Gerudo rushed at Link and attacked with her spear. Link waited for the pain to come, but it never did. Zelda had thrown herself in front of Link to shield him. Link was finally able to move and crouched next to her. " Are you ok Link?" she asked. Her face very pale.

"Yes, thanks to you." Then Link saw the Pool of blood around her. There was a long gash in Zelda's side. Link tired desperately to stop the blood flow.

"Don't waste your time Link!" shouted Scorpion. " She'll be dead as a doornail in a couple minutes."

Link Grabbed his bow and fired an arrow at Scorpion. She ducked under the arrow with ease, Link fired again and again each shot was less accurate because his tears were blurring his vision.

"So long, Zero of Time! HAHAHAHA!" Scorpion then disappeared in a flash of light, as well as every other Gerudo. Link returned to Zelda's side and put her hand in his own, Her hand was getting cold.

The palace healer was summoned and looked at Zelda's injury.

"I'm sorry Link, she's not going to make it." The healer said.

" Don't say that! She will make it! She has too!" Link yelled. The healer flinched, Link knew he shouldn't yell to the healer but was too mad not too.

"Goodbye Link." Said Zelda.

" No! Don't say Goodbye! Zelda!" but Link was talking to an empty shell. He cried uncontrollably and everyone else kept their distance. Suddenly Link stopped crying and started looking through his pouch. "There's a way to reverse this. To prevent it from happening." Link held up the Ocarina of Time. He placed it to his mouth and played the song of Time. In a flash he was back in the Ball room to how it was before the attack. At the party that night, Link tried to fight the Gerudo but still couldn't move. He tried again, but still couldn't.

Again

"So long Zero of Time! HAHAHAHAH!"

Again

" Goodbye Link"

Again

" I'm sorry Link, She not going to make it."

Again

"HAHAHAHAHA"

(That's the whole sad story up to this point. I'm not sure how much longer I can keep this up. Seeing my beloved killed right in front of me, because of me, is causing me more pain then any of Ganndorf's creatures or even Ganndorf himself could ever hope to do. I'm losing hope quickly.

That went pretty much as I had planned. Please Review
