Ch 16

Ashley keeps running until she crosses the bridge. She stops. She sees a shadowed boy. It looks like her brother. She shouts to him, "Hey D! Is that you? How did you get here? Did Roy come to get you" She mumbles to herself, "for some odd reason?" He says nothing but "Come with me." Shocked, Ashley says, "Uhh... to where?" "My favorite place," he grabs her hand and pulls her out of the valley.

"What favorite place?" Ashley asks as her brother pulls her arm the entire way. He doesn't answer. He brings her to the entrance of the castle bridge. "Hell no, I'm not going back in-" "Shut up," Derek yanks her arm and pulls her onto the castle drawbridge. Ashley trembles with fear, remembering the last time she was in here with Roy when a stupid Re-Dead almost ate her. Derek pulls her to the dead market. She looks around. No Re-Deads this time. I wonder where they have gone? To another dimension, I suppose. She giggles and Derek looks up at her with a menacing look on his face. Ashley looks at him with wide eyes. Derek yanks her to Ganondorf's castle. Ashley finally gets out of Derek's grasp and tries to run out to the market, but Derek somehow catches her unbelievably fast. He throws her to a wall and holds her wrists to onto the rocky wall. Ashley's heart is pounding so fast, she wonders if her brother can hear it. She tries to pull free but suddenly a voice comes, stopping her from what she is doing. "Good job Deamon." Ashley gasps and looks at her brother's eyes. She sees a faint red glow in them. She looks up and sees Ganondorf floating right above her brother. I could use the Master sword right about now. She thinks. She looks at her brother again who is now staring at her with evil eyes. She trembles in fear. Ganondorf finally has touched down on the ground. Derek looks back, nods, and moves as Ganondorf waves his hand, gesturing him to move. This was Ashley's chance to run, she starts to run but Ganondorf's long arm goes around her tiny waist and flings her back to his place. Ashley stands in front of Ganondorf shaking so much that Ganondorf has to hold her waist with both of his humongous cold hands. He looks at her with a grin on his face, "You are lucky to have made it this far, Shana. But it will end here." Suddenly a voice comes, "Not so fast there, Ganondorf!" Ashley moves her head slowly towards the voice, "WHAT THE? ROY!!!" "Shana! There you-!" Roy sees Ganondorf holding Ashley and whips out the Master sword. Ashley tries to get out of Ganondorf's grasp, but he holds even tighter. Ganondorf moves his head towards Ashley's head and speaks into her ear, "Watch this," he flings his arm out at Roy and a huge black ball of magic hits him at the speed of light. Roy is sent flying into the farthest wall. He falls down, smashing his head on a rock and gets knocked out cold. The Master sword flies through the air and lands point first, into the ground near Ganondorf. Ashley screams, "No! ROY!" She tries to get out of Ganondorf's grasp again but he lifts her up in the air and flings her onto his shoulder. Ashley kicks frantically at Ganondorf's back and screams, "Put me down! Now! You won't get my freakin' Triforce because I won't let you have it! You evil-" "Oh, don't worry. I have a better idea," Ganondorf walks into his castle with Derek following behind him with the Master sword in his hands.
