Hey everyone I am back from my long absence. Here is the whole story of why I haven't up dated for so long. First my computer wouldn't start so I had to get a tech at my Dads work to look at it. That took three days so then we found out that my dad's tech couldn't figure out what was wrong without losing my hard drive. So then we called the tech support of the company who sold me the computer. My mother and I talked to them to see if we could fix the problem so that took about 4 hours on the phone. After all that it ended up we had to send my computer to somewhere in Ontario, which is pretty damn far from where I am. So sadly I didn't have my chapters to Unblinking Future with me when I went on my parents computer. So I could still read but not write stuff because all my notes and chapters were all the away across the country in some stinky computer factory or fix it shop or whatever. So I guessed I wouldn't get it back till I came back from my trip to the States. So the day before we leave my computer comes back all fixed but they lost my hard drive in the process. Everything little side story every little note.. Gone so yea chapter gone sadly. So YA.... But I am really sorry about this and I hope you keep reading this story!
*~*~*~*~*~~Dream~~*~*~*~*~*~*
"DAMIEN!! WHERE ARE YOU!!!" Sheik yelled as he walked through the mist of his dream. Since Damien came into his dreams he hasn't had one dream without him interrupting so instead of having dreams this was more like a time to talk to him. In this dream he didn't have the bandages over his eyes unlike in his physical state.
"DAMIEN GET OUT HERE!!" he narrowed his eyes crossing his arms over his chest. Sighing Sheik ran his fingers through his hair closing his eyes trying to calm down. The one time he really needed to talk to the old Sheikeh he doesn't show up much to Sheiks misfortune.
"What's all the yelling about?" the dull deep voice of Damien rang out in the distance. Sheik turned sharply glaring darkly at the man before him trying to contain his bottled up anger. How could he not know what he was yelling about? He was the one that caused him to lose his sight and he claims not to know what was worth yelling about?
"You know what I am talking about now tell me what you did!" Sheik clenched his fists tightly. He watched the look of wonderment on Damien's face change to thought. Everything was dead silent as they stood in the gathering fog in his dream.
"You mean you think I am the one who made you blind?" Damien asked quirking an eyebrow at him.
"Yes, it was something to do with you knocking me out before I got to the Lake! You caused this!" He growled clearly frustrated how could this guy act as if nothing was his fault when it was. Damien paused to think once more turning his back towards Sheik walking around slowly muttering softly under his breath. Sheik stood in the same spot as before watching the man walk around carelessly trying to read the look that was on his face finding nothing. Damien then stopped suddenly then looked at him seemly still in thought then walked up to the young boy standing over him.
"I know what happened... when I took over your body..."He was stopped in mid sentence when Sheik interrupted him sharply.
"You WHAT!?!" he yelled in shocked appalled way. Damien let out a deep eerie laugh escape his lips that seemed to fill then entire area then he shook his head at him softly.
" I am the reason you got to the lake when you did.... Now let me continue... when I took over you it seems that you acquired some of my skills for a few hours like you were supposed to but it seems that they never left and your body wasn't ready for them... you see my eyes are red and I guess you picked it up and your body isn't accepting it well so its rejecting it causing you to go blind temporary" Damien sighed softly. Sheik sat on the ground thinking everything over of what he had just heard 'so it's only temporary... that's a relief'.
" But what about the other skills?" He asked looking up at him with more interest. Damien looked down at him smiling softly then sighed kneeling down in front of Sheik.
"If I told you what they were it would take away the surprise of growing up with what was coming to you anyway except its coming earlier and stronger then they are supposed to be... but it seems that someone is wanting you awake for some reason so get going!" Damien smiled then pushed him over then disappeared just as the floor beneath them gave away letting Sheik fall to his seemingly doom.
*~*~*~*~*~*~~End of dream~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Everything around him seemed to jerk forward shaking the poor boy out of his deep sleep causing him to groan almost painfully, as he couldn't bring himself to move an inch. Everything around him seemed cold to Sheik making him shivers heavily causing his whole body to shake violently.
"Impa he's awake now!" He heard a voice call softly then he could feel another blanket being draped over him. Sheik had no clue where he was but all he knew was that wherever he was he was moving at a fair pace.
"Good we are just getting close to the Gerudo Pass so stay down and stay quiet just in case" Sheik heard Impa say to Zelda he assumed. ' We must be heading back towards the castle but why would Impa be worried about going thought the Gerudo pass... Ganondorf is loyal to the King last time I heard' he thought then they went over a bump in the road, which caused him to move sharply.
" OW! Goddess damn it!" He swore out loud from the sharp pain that surged through his chest.
" Sheik you shouldn't swear like that" Zelda scolded him. Sheik sighed softly at her rubbing his chest sorely trying to calm down the pain as it slowly started to go away.
" How do you feel? Any better?" She asked softly with deep concern. He took his hand from his chest then slowly pulled himself into a sitting position. He could feel the cold wind blow threw his hair tossing it around his face.
" I feel much better.... A little hungry though...." He answered quietly as he pulled his blankets around his shoulders. He then heard Zelda fumbling around in a bag that must have been beside her then once the rustling stopped he felt something smooth being put into his hand.
" Here eat an apple its all we have right now" Zelda told him happily as if she was smiling. Sheik paused for a moment then took a bite from the apple enjoying the taste of it.
" Thank you.... Have you had something to eat since we left the Professors?" He asked after it dawned on him that he could be eating the Princesses food.
" Of course I have silly you have been asleep for two days if you didn't hear before we are going under Gerudo pass" Zelda laughed lightly. All Sheik could do was nod at this seeing it made total sense to him that he could sleep for that long after what happened to him.
" Why dose Impa want us to be quiet going pass Gerudo Pass? Ganondorf is an Allis of your fathers isn't he?" Sheik asked carefully. He heard Zelda sigh sadly as he kept munching on his apple slowly so not to make himself sick but then gave up and shoved the rest into his mouth.
" Its a long story but we cant trust the Gerudo quite yet so we have to be very careful because I know something my father does not.... But haven't you felt it yet?" She asked quietly. Sheik paused thinking about this carefully thinking it over; he hadn't really felt anything unusual in the air or anything.
" I don't think so.... Can you explain a bit more please?" He asked hopping she would explain so he could understand what he was supposed to be feeling.
" Well its not only a feeling but it comes to you as a horrible dream of a dark man on a horse and dark clouds with a light coming out of the darkness where the Forest is... haven't you had the dream?" She asked hopefully.
" Well... I haven't had a real dream in a long time.... I don't dream anymore...."Sheik started carefully not to say too much. How many people can say that a guy you were named after that has been dead for a long time comes into your dreams to talk to you? He could tell Zelda she was telling him about something that must be very important since Impa must be in on it but still it may make him look a bit crazy which he wasn't.
" What? How can that be? Everyone is supposed to dream," She said softly but she still sounded shocked. Sheik sighed then scratched the back of his head in thought debating weather to tell her or not.
" Well you remember Damien Sheik right? Well he has been visiting me in my dreams so instead of having dreams he talks to me.... That's how I knew to go to the Lakeside professor because he told me to go there.... This may sound crazy but its true..." he sighed tiredly. Zelda was silent for a few minuets all you could hear was the wheels of the wagon turning as they went down to dirt road.
" You know that makes total sense why you haven't had that dream Damien Sheik is blocking your inner eye and until he leaves you will not achieve your full potential in seeing these kind of things like your supposed to...."Zelda exclaimed brightly.
"So I have some kind of power that I am supposed to have already but don't? Maybe Damien isn't as helpful as I thought" Sheik muttered sadly. He felt somewhat betrayed by Damien he felt that He was a friend almost by the way he had been helping him through all this.
" Don't worry Sheik next time you sleep tell him to leave or else force him out of your dreams then everything will be ok" Zelda replied happily. Sheik sighed sadly nodding to her then a sound of heavy hoof beats reached his ears causing him to jerk his head in that direction.
"What's wrong?" Zelda asked sounding worried. Sheik slowly crawled to the edge of the wagon straining his ears to try and see if that hoof beats were just a figment of his imagination. The sound of hoof beats could be heard again but this time there were more then just one set of them. By the sounds of the yells to urge the horses quicker he could tell it was a group of women.
"It's the Gerudo! I hear them coming around behind us at a really fast pace...."Sheik told Zelda urgently.
"I can see them!! Oh no.. IMPA!!!!" She screamed scrambling to crawl over to the front of the wagon. This was the one time Sheik wished he had his eyesight so he could try and keep the Gerudo away from Zelda because he had a sneaking suspicion they were after her. He then felt the wagon jerk quickly forward bring the wagon into faster pace.
"You two stay down low!" He heard Impa yell at them. He lay down quickly onto the bottom of the wagon then quickly felt Zelda move beside him. Sheik quickly pulled the blanket over the two of them hoping it would hide them a bit so it wouldn't be so easy to spot them.
" Sheik.... I'm scared... what if they catch us?" He heard Zelda whisper softly sounding as if she was crying.
"Why would they take me to? I don't have any kind of title I am just a peasant kid" Sheik had no clue why they would take him along with the Princess. She was much more important then he was; if they got Zelda then they could get the king to give them whatever they wanted. If they took him they could kill him and it wouldn't affect anyone no one would probably notice he was gone at all except for his parents.
"Don't say that Sheik you are going to be great someday!" Zelda seemed to scold him as if what he just said wasn't true. Sheik was about to say something when the wagon jerked to the side sharply causing him to fly from out of the blanket whacking into the side of the wagon. Then he felt a hand roughly grab the callor of his shirt pulling him off his feet and away from the wagon.
" AHH! LET ME GO!!" He yelled sharply kicking his legs franticly trying to get free. Finally he felt his leg connect with the person who held him causing the person to yelp and let him go. Sheik fell back onto the wagon rolling away from the sides so that he wouldn't be so easy to grab.
"Sheik are you alright?" He heard Zelda ask quietly. Sheik was gasping for air panicky trying to strain his ears so he could hear where they were. Just then he heard a sharp shrill scream of horror, which caused him to turn to where Zelda was supposed to be laying in hiding. He felt around only to find she wasn't where she had been last or anywhere within his reach.
" ZELDA!" He yelled trying to find where she was.
"SHEIK HELP ME!" He heard her scream. Before he could find where she was he felt someone grab the cuff of his shirt again pulling him away off the wagon into the air.
"GAH LET GO OF ME YOU WITCH!" He yelled grabbed onto the person wrist scratching at their skin and kicking his legs trying to find something to kick. Then he felt something hit the side of his head causing his head to feel fuzzy and made it hard to concentrate. He fought to stay awake but slowly he lost his hold on conciseness.
**************
*~*~*~*~*~~Dream~~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sheik opened his eyes quickly looking around seeing he was in his dream room, which he thought was a fitting name for it. He looked around hoping to find Damien and to tell him to get out of his dreams. He wanted to know what his powers were that made him so important and if that meant getting rid of Damien then he would have to get him out.
"I know what Zelda said about me and I was just getting ready to leave" He heard Damien say sadly from somewhere behind him.
"Where are you?" He asked looking around the dull white room.
" I am halfway gone and all that is left is my voice.... Sheik if I knew I was in the way of your destiny I would have left allot sooner then I am now... It was nice knowing you kid and I hope you get out of this mess you are in.... if you ever need my help just call out and I will try and come to help you...goodbye " Damien's voice then suddenly stopped and it was silent in his dream room. Sheik was kind of sad that he was gone but he knew he was always going to be there if he got in trouble.
"Good bye Damien..." Sheik whispered then started to walk away towards a door, which hadn't been there before. He opened it then stepped through it only to find there wasn't a floor to step on to. His eyes went wide as he tried to turn back to the door but found it was gone. He then started to fall towards the ground till everything seemed to stop almost as quickly as it started.
*~*~*~*~*~*~~End of dream~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sheik groaned softly as he lay on the cold ground of stone somewhere, which he had no clue where it was located. Remembering what had happened he quickly sat up regretting it soon after finding his head pulsed in pain. He put his hand to where it hurt and found a rather large lump on the side of his head. Grumbling darkly Sheik slowly stood up trying to ignore his heads painful protest and put his arms out in front of him to try and find the wall.
"Princess? Are you in here?" he called out hoping for an answer. 'Think she could be knocked out' he paused to try and hear her breathing but couldn't hear anything but the wind outside. 'Wait.... If I can hear the wind maybe there is a window somewhere!' he though as he found the wall running his hands across it as he walked. Soon he found the door and tried to pull the door open finding it didn't have a doorknob or anything.
"Why would it?" Sheik mumbled to himself angrily. He then kept walking along the side of the wall to see if there was any window. After not finding one he guessed it was somewhere higher where he wouldn't be able to reach.
"Well there goes that idea...." He sighed to himself.
"Heh I never knew Sheikah talked to themselves that often," a voice laughed shrilly from somewhere in the room. Sheik stopped turning towards where he had heard the voice.
"Who's there?" He asked sharply a little bit nervous that he couldn't see who or what it was.
" Ahh we have a blind Sheikah on our hands this should make things easier" the voice laughed again then he could hear their footsteps. 'We? Oh great why didn't I hear them before?' he cursed himself angrily as he backed away slightly. He was at a huge disadvantage at the moment for one he was out numbered and secondly he couldn't see. 'Wait.... Damien left so I should be able to see again!' He tired to move his eyelids under the cloth but found he couldn't. Just then he heard a jingle of bracelets hitting each other so he quickly jumping to the side guessing she was either trying to punch him or grab him.
"How could you have known I was reaching for you? You can see where I am?" The women questioned sounding angry. Sheik smirked as he avoided her grab again after hearing the clink of her bracelets. He then figured that she was the only one in the room with him she must have been referring to others in the fortress. His dad had told him stories of the huge Fortress the Gerudo had and that no men were allowed on their grounds beside Ganondorf.
"Not so easy am I?" Sheik laughed dodging her once more. The women growled then make grabs for him over and over again hoping to catch him off guard but every time he heard her coming and easily avoided her. Sheik could tell the women was growing tired of this game so she reached out for him with both her hands grabbing both his shoulder slamming him into the hard solid wall. Gasping he winced biting his lip trying not to yell out in pain as it caused a chain reaction all through his body making everything hurt.
"Our little game of cat and mouse is over.... Now tell me your name brat," She snapped. Once the pain dulled down he heard the wind blow threw the room also provoking a creaking noise across the room. 'The door is open! All I have to do is get this lady off of me' he thought then quickly grabbed her hair then gave her a swift kick in the knee then stomped on her foot with his other foot. The women cried out in pain letting go of him giving the opportunity he needed; Sheik quickly made a dash for the door.
"GET BACK HERE BRAT!" She yelled not sounding all too happy. Sheik bolted out of the room running his hand across the wall and listened for any other footsteps beside his own. As he ran he remembered his dad saying something about the fortress like being a huge maze of corridors. 'Great I am stuck in a huge maze and even if I could see I wouldn't be able to find my way out' he sighed as he ran. He stopped suddenly hearing voices somewhere in front of him; he pressed his back against the wall inching towards where he guessed was a corner. Once feeling the corner he stopped walking and started to listen to what they were saying.
" I heard that the blind Sheikah boy escaped his cell when being confronted" one said seriously. He heard the other person laugh lightly shifting her weapon in her hands holding it loosely.
" How could someone possible let a blind Sheikah escape expressly that it's a kid!" the second women laughed. The other women snorted finding that they way the other was speaking it was out of disrespect to the person who had talked to him.
" Don't talk like that if someone hears you talking like that you could get reported.... Anyway he's loose somewhere in the fortress and we are supposed to keep an eye out for him... they are guessing he is trying to find the Princess" The first one told the other strictly. The other one laughed again clearly finding the idea absurd that he would try and look for her.
" He would never find her even if he could see there is no way he would be able to get to the south wing of our fortress its all the way on the other side we made sure he was as far away from her as possible" the second one told the other. Sheik thought he had heard enough then slowly crept past the open way trying not to be heard or seen. 'So they have the princess in the south wing... so I must be in the north wing if I am the furthest away as possible... but I have to figure out which way I am walking' he thought. Sheik sighed but then quickly ducked as he heard someone lunch an arrow at him just missing his head even after he ducked. Breaking into a blind run he quickly made his way down the hallway still running his hands across the wall to make sure he was going the right way. Whenever he felt he had run out of wall he would turn that way still running as fast as he could. But once he felt a wall in front of him and beside him he ran his hands across the he found there were boxes against that wall. He cursed softly after finding he was in a dead end and he would have to back track and try and find another way out. Then he could hear yells coming his way he figured he couldn't get out and that he was trapped in the corner.
"Damn it all..." he muttered then got an idea. Sheik quickly ran back to the boxes trying to find the shortest box then he climbed onto it. He guessed there would have to be some kind of window or so he hoped because he wasn't sure if there was and if there wasn't he would be trapped. Once at the top he felt around and much to his luck there was a small window in the wall in front of him. Smiling in triumph he picked up a small pebble then tossed it out the window so he could judge how far the drop was. After hearing it hit the ground not to far below Sheik slipped through the window gripping onto the windowsill. Taking a deep breath he let go of the side of the wall letting himself fall to the ground below. Once landing Sheik laughed softly to himself then started to walk slowly only to find himself bump into something.
"ACK What in Din's name!"
Or someone.
"Ahh here's the squirt!" a voice squeaked in amusment as their hands clamped around his upper arms lifting him into the air. Sheik gasped in shock then squirmed trying to pull himself free from the guard who must had seen him fall from the window seconds before. He knew his escape run was over and he would be punished severely for escaping from his holding cell.
"Now little one you are in loads of trouble now.... But you are very lucky our leader isn't here but our second in lead is just as bad and she is wanting to meet up with you again now lets go now" the Gerudo women put him down then began to push him in the direction in which the second in command must have been. 'Didn't she say the leader was wanting to meet me again? I don't understand' Sheik thought to himself as he trudged to him next destination. As he was lead down the corridors he tired to think back to all the Gerudo he had ever met since he got here but none of them seemed like the leader type. Sheik felt the women leading him hold him back then heard doors open in front of him slowly. Then all of a sudden the women behind him forced him forward sending him flying into the room then into the floor.
" Well well well.... our little mouse has been found at last.... I knew your kind was crafty but to allude me when not at your full capacity caught me off guard...but no matter the games are over and now is your time of judgment..." The voice angrily spoke with darkly.
HA that's the end of the chapter ^-^ I hope it was worth waiting a very long time for which I am sorry. Well review if your not to mad at me ._.
