chapter two!! ^_^
**Once again, I do not own Zelda, Link or Epona...but I DO own Gabrielle...evil little girl!!**
Chapter 2 - Pain
That night, Zelda sat in her room, looking out the window. She couldn't stop thinking about Gabrielle. What did she want? Zelda yawned. "I'll figure it out tomorrow..." she murmured. She crawled into her bed and blew out the candle. Sleep soon took her over.
-Zelda's Dream-
Lightning lit up the black sky. Zelda stared out the castle window as rain poured down. A pale white figure stood in the doorway. Zelda turned around and found herself face-to-face with Gabrielle. She was glaring at Zelda intensely, as though she were reading the princess' soul.
"What do you want from me?" Zelda cried in a choked voice.
"What do I want from you?" Gabrielle pondered the question. "I want...your soul."
"WHAT?" Zelda screamed. "What do you mean!?"
"I have all I need to take over Hyrule...except a soul. Without a soul, I can't accomplish anything. So I came for yours. NOW GIVE IT TO ME!" Gabrielle lunged at Zelda.
"NOOOOOO!" Zelda screamed.
-Reality-
Zelda opened her eyes and screamed. Sitting on her stomach was Gabrielle. "Hello Zelda..." she said with a sneer.
"G-gabrielle..." Zelda shook. (Why won't she leave me alone?)
"I won't leave you alone until you give me what I've come for..."
(Did she just read my mind?)
"Yes. I did. You can't hide anything from me." Gabrielle laughed, clearly enjoying the look of terror on Zelda's face.
"Do you want to take over Hyrule?" Zelda asked, avoiding making eye contact with Gabrielle.
"Yes. I do." A twisted smile crept onto Gabrielle's usually emotionless face.
"But...but why?" Zelda asked. "What are you?"
"Let me tell you a story." Gabrielle said bitterly. "When Hyrule was first created, Din, Nayru and Farore appointed a queen for this land. Her name was Marion. She was...my mother."
Zelda was speechless. She never anticipated that Gabrielle was the daughter of the first Queen of Hyrule. "You were...a princess?"
"Yes. My mother died when I was six years old. I was the heir to the throne. However, my cousin Jewel didn't agree. She was five years older than I and a witch in practice. She summoned up a horrible beast from the Underworld. It was a terrible sight. She sent it to the Castle one night. I was in the courtyard when a hideous monster approached. It charged into me and literally broke me in half. My ribs punctured my heart and an instant later, I was dead." She looked up at Zelda. "I've come to reclaim my throne, Zelda. In order to do that, however, I need a soul. I decided to come after you because being a princess, you have all the right qualities that I'll need to rule this nation...and give it the treatment it deserves..."
"What kind of treatment would that be?" Zelda asked, regretting the question the moment it escaped her lips. She already knew.
"They deserve slavery, death, torture and pain. They must feel my pain...no one came to save me from the monster...they'll pay!"
"But...Gabrielle, that happened hundreds of years ago. You can't make this generation of Hyrule pay! It's not their fault!"
"Oh Zelda...if only you knew..." Gabrielle sighed. She reached toward the princess and in one quick movement, had her tiny hand wrapped around Zelda's swan-like neck. "You will be the first to feel my pain."
