Chapter Seven
Link cradled his head in his hands as he cried out loud, "Why? Why Zelda? Why couldn't it have been me?" Kohaku was also crying. But he didn't answer back. He only sat there by the tower window; staring at the ugly, dry ruins of what used to be Hyrule. Ganodorf had tricked them. He tricked them just to get the pendant. And now Zelda was dead. She had died a tragic, painful death. And with her own brother watching. And her best friend. It was frightening to them. 'What would I tell dad?' he said to himself, 'Oh, yeah, father. Zelda's dead. She dropped down to a pit of molten rock and I couldn't jump in and save her. Sorry.' He shook his head and cried harder. Link then looked up from his hands to see a Gerudo walk in. She took a quick, sharp glance at Kohaku, who wasn't looking back, and then she bent down and grabbed Link's arm. She dragged him out of the room and slammed the door shut. Only then Kohaku saw a short glimpse of the Gerudo. He ran over to the door and started to bang hardly on it. "Hey!" he said, "Turn that boy loose! Let him go!" The Gerudo dragged Link to a room with an executing machine. Link was then dragged to a table, which had a few bloodstains and ax marks on it. He then felt an itchy, black bag put over his head. Two strong hands pushed him face down on the table. He didn't even twitch. Because he knew what was happening. He was getting his head sliced off. But he didn't care. He was just going to join Zelda...and his mother. He closed his eyes and for a split second, he felt a twinge of pain. And then he felt no more. Link then opened his eyes and arose from the dirt ground, with sheets of cold sweat forming from his forehead. He then realized it was only a nightmare. He curled his legs to his chest and placed his head on his knees. "That was the only nightmare I actually want to come true," he turned his head a little to the left and saw Kohaku, lying there, unconscious. He moved his hand towards him and shook him awake, "Kohaku...can you move?" "I think so," he said as he pushed his body up from the ground and landed into a sitting position. He looked around, "Where are we?" Link looked around also, "We're..." he said as he couldn't believe his eyes, "We're right were Hyrule Castle used to be. Ganodorf destroyed it and threw us out here." Kohaku looked down at the dirt ground, "Zelda's lucky. She's up where it's safe...where nothing bad can happen to her." Link only looked up to the sky, "Yep...she's fine. And if I'm not going crazy, I think she's looking down at us right now." Kohaku nodded and looked up at the sky too.
Ganodorf watched as the little girl with blonde hair open her blue eyes. She slowly struggled to lift herself off from the ground. That's when Ganodorf smiled. "That's great..." he said, "Can you move your body now?" The girl nodded, "Yes Master, I can move." "Can you kill them?" "Yes Master I can kill anyone." "Can you kill your father, Link, and Kohaku?" She paused before answering, "Yes...Master. I will kill my father (the king), Link (my hero)...and Kohaku (my brother)." Ganodorf smiled evilly as he handed Zelda a bag of bombs.
