Chapter Two

Link awoke with a sudden sense that something was wrong. I think Zelda's in trouble, but I'm not sure. Maybe it's just my imagination, but it seems to real to be imaginative thought Link. Link sat up with a jolt like Frankenstein would have and knew that Zelda really was in danger. He quickly got dressed into his tunic. He hopped like a rabbit trying to put his boots on quickly. Then he ran out to get Epona saddled. When he did that he hopped on and galloped all the way to Hyrule castle like a fox chasing a rabbit.

When he got there the doors were locked. He went around to Zelda's window, got off Epona and started climbing. When he got up to the window seat he saw that Zelda was in her in bed sleeping, but he didn't know that she was actually Clonea imposing as Zelda.

"Zelda, are you okay?" Link asked. Clonea moved slowly and got up.

"Link, what are you doing here?" she asked.

"I had a terrible dream that you were in danger. But now I see that it was just my imagination," he responded. Link cautiously moved toward the bed. He sat down next to Clonea with a sigh of relief like a balloon letting out its air very slowly.

"So you came all this way just to tell me that?" said Clonea.

"No, not exactly. I just wanted to know if you were alright," replied Link. I didn't realize until just now that Link is really handsome. Maybe when I get rid of Zelda then I'll marry him thought Clonea to herself.

"Link why don't you stay the night? I mean you came all this way and you must be really tired," said Clonea. "I guess, but what about Epona? She's all alone out there," said Link. "Don't worry, you can just put in the stalls with the other horses," answered Clonea. So Link put Epona in the stalls with the other horses.

Zelda's acting very strange. I wonder if she's sick or something thought Link to himself. For the rest of the evening, Link kept thinking of that thought.

The next morning, Zelda awoke dizzy and clueless of were she was like a person who just got drunk. The room was completely dark so she couldn't see a thing. She realized that her hands were tide together behind her back and that she was blindfolded. No wonder I can't see were I am thought Zelda. She slipped her hands in between her legs so now her hands were in front. She tried undoing the knot with her teeth like a dog ripping fabric apart. Finally she succeeded. She took off the blindfold to see that it was day outside, but she was in a room. She scrambled to the door like a mouse trying to get the last piece of cheese. It was locked. Zelda looked frantically to find another way out. She ran to a window, but tripped over something metal and fell to the ground.

"Ouch!" she cried. She tried to find the object that made her trip. It was the keys! "The person who brought me here stupidly left the keys in here," said Zelda. She went to the door and knocked. "I need to use the bathroom. Can you escort me kind sir?" Zelda said in her sweetest voice.

"I'm not sure. Well, okay. But no funny stuff. Okay?" he said.

"Promise," replied Zelda.

"Hey! Where are my keys?"

"You left them in here. I'll pass them out to you." Zelda slid the keys under the door like someone trying to send a love note to somebody else.

The guard unlocked the door. Zelda came out like she wasn't going to do anything, then she turned around and kicked him into the room, grabbing the keys before they were locked in again.

"Hey! I thought you said no funny stuff," said the guard.

"Sorry, had to do it," Zelda said putting the keys into the lock and locking the door. She walked over to his horse and mounted. I just realized I'm still in my nightgown thought Zelda. She squeezed the horse's sides and off they were to Hyrule castle.

Link had been awake for about 4 hours by the time Zelda got on the horse. Clonea was already dressed in 1 of Zelda's outfits. It was a lavender dress with a dark purple trim and sash that went around her waist. Clonea braided lavender and dark purple ribbons into her hair.

"Why don't we go for a ride?" said Link.

"Okay," replied Clonea. They went down to the stables and got their horses ready. Link mounted Epona, but when Clonea tried to mount Royal, he wouldn't let her and just shook her off. Clonea tried several times more, but the same thing happened again and again.

"Why don't we just go for a walk?" said Link.

"That's fine by me," said Clonea. Link dismounted and took Clonea's hand. She blushed a deep tomato red. I've never felt this way before she thought to herself. They walked out of the stables, down the hill and into the Great Forest.

By the time Zelda got to the castle, an hour had passed since Link and Clonea went for a walk. She went to the stables to put the horse away. There she found Royal and Epona saddled up. She quickly ran up to her room and changed into some clothes. She wore a lavender tunic with a white long sleeved shirt and pants. She put on her light brown riding boots and ran down stairs. Before she went back to the stables, she headed for the weapon room. Weapons of all sorts were hanging all over the walls. She grabbed her sword. It had a long, thin yet powerful blade with a gold handle and the Triforce jewel on top. She grabbed her hilt, which was gold and had the Triforce symbol engraved on it.

She ran to the stables, and saying a quick hello to her horse, mounted Royal. Zelda grabbed Epona's reins and asked, "Do you think you can follow me and Royal girl?" Zelda and the 2 horses galloped down the hill and started looking for Link.

About an hour had gone past and she still couldn't find Link. Then she remembered—the Great Forest! That had to have to be were he is thought Zelda. She galloped into the forest to their secret spot. Not to her surprise, she found Link, but with Clonea. Zelda quickly dismounted.

"You get away from him you imposter!" Zelda screamed, running toward Link.

"I'm not an imposter. I am Princess Zelda of Hyrule," said Clonea.

"Yeah like I believe that for 1 second. Link, you have to believe me. I'm the real Zelda," said Zelda.

"Actually, I'm not really sure who to believe," said Link.

Link, why won't you believe me? thought Zelda. I got it! "Link. Why don't you ask us some questions that only the real Zelda could answer."

Link thought this over. "Okay," he said finally. "Question #1.What is my horses name?"

Zelda answered right away. "Epona!"

"Correct."

"Question #2.What is the name of the real Zelda's horse?"

"Spot".

"No".

"Royal".

"Correct".

This is the last question thought Link. I better make it good. "Last question. How—."

"Link this is pointless. Just pick someone," said Clonea.

"As I was saying. How long have I known the real Zelda for?"

Zelda and Clonea both took a while, but Zelda answered first. "For 13 years. Since we were2."

"Correct," said Link relieved that he finally found the real Zelda. Zelda jumped for joy while Clonea just stood there frustrated, angry and dumbfound.

"You are the real Zelda. You, the other one, is just an imposter," responded Link.

"You dare choose her over me!" cried Clonea. "If I can't have Link, nobody can!" The sky became dark and Clonea turned into her evil, dark self. Clonea had pale, white skin, hair as black as coal, eyes dark, empty and evil. She wore a long coal-colored dress with long purple sleeves, around her neck was an emerald necklace with a black opal hanging from the center, on her hip was a black blade with a blue, green and purple handle hanging from a black leather strap.

Zelda stepped in front of Link so she could protect him. "Who are you and why have you come to Hyrule?!" asked Zelda in a scream tone.

"I am Clonea, the Sorceress of Shapes and I have come to Hyrule to destroy you, Zelda!"
