Chapter Thirteen
Link and Zelda lay on a luscious hill next to the Great Forest. The sun was out and it glistened against the lake like a mirror. The warmth of the sun beat down on them as they breathed in deep, unaware of what had happened at the palace.
"Zelda?" Link said. She faced him with a smile but all she got back was a frown. "What is it?" she asked.
"Your mother."
"What about her?"
"I think something bad has happened to her. I just have an un-easy feeling in me."
"What are you talking about Link?"
"I think that she is hurt by something or someone close to her."
"I still don't get it."
"Zelda—there's something else you should know about yourself that your mother wanted me to tell you."
"How come you know all the things I don't?" Zelda asked Link.
"I know all about the things you don't know because she told me and said not to tell you unless something bad has really happened to her," he said facing Zelda.
"Do I really need to know this?" she asked. Link looked at her with seriousness. That answered the question for me she thought and nodded.
"You have powers with your emotions. You can feel what people feel, you know what's happening someplace else, and you can read minds. All the powers of the Triforce come from the emotions of the bearer -- which is you."
"You're confusing me. So let me get this strait. I can do un-human things with the Triforce and now I find this out!"
"Zelda, if you don't believe me, try it out for your self".
Zelda put the Triforce in her hands and concentrated on the pendant and nothing else. She felt a silver wind whip around her and her eyes rolling back into her head, seeing nothing but darkness. Next thing she knew, Zelda was standing in the castle tower where her mother was.
"I will find this person she trusts after I kill you," Zelda heard Ozorne say. He laid out his hands and chanted "Magical sword appear to me so I can slaughter the first person I see". She saw the sword appear in his hands and watched as he stepped toward her mother, pinning her against the wall. "I have told you too much information that you mustn't live to blab my plan to anyone," he said raising his sword. Zelda saw the blade swing toward her mother when—
"Zelda!"
Zelda went away from the vision immediately to feel Link was shaking her. Her eyes rolled out of the back of her head to see the light. "What did you see?" he asked.
"I saw.......my mother.........and Ozorne.............and he was about to kill her..........and.......and he said 'I will find the person she trusts'. Link—I think he means you."
"Wait—what do you mean?"
"Link—I think I know why my father has been acting so different. It's because that wasn't him when he hit me or when he had that talk with my mother in the garden. It wasn't him. It was Ozorne," Zelda said tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Wait, Zelda, back up. What are you saying?" Link asked confused.
"Don't you get it? Ozorne has been taking the place of my father. He must've thought that I trusted him more than anyone—not thinking about you. He also said 'I have told you too much information that you mustn't live to blab my plan to anyone'. Ozorne must've told my mother what he did and then—killed her. Link, he's coming to get you. He must know now that if you are in danger I'd do anything."
There was a long silence until Link spoke up. "What should we do?" he asked Zelda.
"We must get back to the castle," she said standing up. Zelda hopped on Royal and sped toward the castle.
"Wait for me!" Link cried after her getting on Epona and following Zelda.
When they got to the castle, they hopped off their horses and ran toward the tower (Link just keeping up). Zelda opened the door to the tower and ran up the steps to the room, bursting threw the door. When Link came in, he saw Zelda just standing there. "What?" he asked stepping toward her. She pointed her finger to the place she was staring at. Link followed her finger to the floor where there was blood.
