^.^ Chapter 18 ^.^ - Revenge
Zelda looked at Link. He was as pale and shocked as she was, but she didn't want to stay silent.
Opening the closet, she ran to her fallen friend. Sinking to the floor crying, she looked at Link, "Link, lend me your sword."
Link hesitated. He knew what she was going to do.
"GIVE ME THE SWORD!!" Zelda screamed.
Link nodded quickly and handed Zelda his Master Sword.
"I'm gonna get that piece of…" Zelda muttered as she stood up, wiping her eyes.
"Here," Link said, handing her the Hylian Shield, "Take this too. Just in case. Oh yeah, and I'm coming with you."
Zelda did not respond, she had already run off the direction she heard the guards leave in. As she expected, the guards were hurrying back to the hall. They had heard her screaming.
"YOU KILLED VERA!!!" Zelda screamed.
"She betrayed us," the leader of the guards, the one who Zelda suspected had killed Vera, replied coolly.
Zelda held her sword up to the guard, "And who said that YOU could take charge after my father's death?"
Footsteps behind Zelda told her that Link had arrived.
"So. Link. We meet at last. I must say, it wil be a great pleasure to kill you," the guard said, sneering.
Link nodded, "And who might you be?"
The guard laughed vainly, "Why, I am Aron, the head of all the guards here."
"Aron eh?" Link muttered.
"Prepare to die Link," Aron told him, unsheathing his sword.
The sound of Aron unsheathing his sword again reminded Zelda that he had killed Vera. Blocking Aron's path, she looked at him, her jaw set, "You'll have to get past me first."
Aron laughed again, "Oh, how cute. Zelda wants to fight."
Zelda kicked Aron in the stomach, causing him to fall to the floor, "That's QUEEN Zelda to you."
"You're not serious?" Aron asked, a hint of worry in his voice.
"I'm serious alright," Zelda replied, making the tip of her sword touch Aron's throat, "Dead serious."
Aron frowned and slid away from the sword so he could stand up, "I'll go easy on you."
Zelda smirked slightly, "You're problem, not mine."
Before Aron had the chance to figure out what Zelda was doing, she stabbed him, causing him to fall to the floor.
"How could you be so… fast?" Aron gasped as he clutched his wound, preventing the blood from flowing out.
"I told you it was your problem you were going easy on me," Zelda said plainly and raised her gaze to the other guards, "Any more volunteers?"
In a clank of metal armour, the others had run away.
"Wimps," Zelda muttered, handing the Master Sword and Hylian Sheild back to Link.
"Uhhh… thanks…" Link stammered, watching Aron die, in shock.
"Let's get out of here," Zelda told him as she opened the door and went outside.
Link followed, giving one last galnce to Aron as he breathed his last breath and lay dead on the cold floor of the castle.

A/N: Forgive me… that fight scene wasn't much of a fight scene, but yeah… I couldn't be bothered writing it out… maybe sometime I'll get in a creative mood and write a fic with a huge battle in it. Just don't expect anything like that soon ^_^"
Yeah… anyways… review. Appreciated.
This fic's almost drawing to a close. Two more chapters left. I'll update depending on how many reviews I get =)
