Author's Note: This is taken place 1 year after Link defeated Ganondorf and he is 18 while Princess Zelda is 17. Please R&R because this is my first fan-fic and I would enjoy your feedback! Please no flames though!
Disclaimer: Also, I don't own Zelda etc, etc, blah, blah, so don't sue me ok? And, I've added some new characters later in the story.
2. Termina
A man leaped out and attacked immediately. Eimear reared and ran off in the North direction. Smart horse. She read my thoughts and followed my guidance but enough now. I have to leave as well.
"Smart horse you got there Milady! Too bad that it forgot it's master and ran off." He smirked and others bound me with ropes.
How stupid are they? I will have to wait for the perfect moment. When their leader comes forward. And that he did.
"Welcome to our forest Milady. What business do you have here?" Spoke a man in pink and yellow robes. Get some color sense!
"My business is my business and it will stay that way." I answered coldly. Almost time.
"Well, we are but humble men asking a humble question and if you won't answer then I guess that we fill force it from you!" He cried and raised both arms.
It's time.
I flipped back and used my bindings to choke another till he fell into unconsciousness. No use killing them or else I would sink to their level as a murderer. I rubbed the ropes on his fallen blade and broke free. I then kicked and punched everyone of then to unconsciousness until the leader was left. He kicked me to the ground and then all he did was laugh. An evil laugh I have only heard from one person. I looked up and noticed that I should have asked for Link to come.
This man is going to resurrect Ganondorf and will get rid of anything that stands in his way. That includes me.
"Now Milady, since you happen to know what my plans are, you are coming because we don't want our plans foiled, Princess Zelda." He cackled. The rest of his goons woke up and bound me with metal chains, gagged me and threw me on a cart with a blanket over me to hide me from the villagers.
The same thought came through my head over and over. How does he know my name? I've never seen him before so how could he know me? Maybe Ganondorf told him? I am frightened and regret that I hadn't been so over caught with pride and left Link in the dust. We passed many towns until we reached our destination, Clock Town.
I heard many voices but then heard nothing except the squeak of the wheels on the wagon. They were hushed by the presence of the thing on the back of the wagon a.k.a me. Maybe they are going to sell me?
My assumption was correct. They pulled me off still in my old cloak, bounded and gagged but I could still hear them.
"Fellow Terminians! I highly advise that you not let children near this never mind see it." The leader boomed. I could hear little pitter-patters of the children's feet, running away. He continued. "Now, there has been a treachery against us. I introduce to you, Princess Zelda of Hyrule!"
And at that moment the cloak was torn off and I could see. See a crowd of people recoiling as if I was a viper, in position of attack. This cannot be the people that helped Link with his journey. They are under this man's control out of fright and loyalty. A voice rang through the crowd.
"Let her go and I'll pay you" This voice was from a girl around my age with dark brown hair and piercing, navy eyes. "Well? Nike you should know better or wait, you're to STUPID to know better!"
Nike or the leader spoke once more in a more fierce tone. "Jamie you brat! You think that you can afford the price with your dad's foolish newspaper? I think not! I remember when you helped that idiot Hero of Time and brought shame to your family! I am doing you the favour by not letting you do that again!"
My mind clicked when Link was brought up. Was this Nike the one guy that Link always talked about? That this is the guy who threatened him and delivered a fatal wound? My eyes started to burn as I recall when Link came home.
"Your Majesty! There is a visitor outside the gates but he is dieing!" Called one of the watchmen.
"Then send a medic with me to help this visitor! Nobody is going to die again!" I called back. I ran then stopped at the site. It was Link! He called out to me and I approached.
"Zelda...help...please...Nike...Terminia...help...Zelda..." He then fell unconscious and they thought that he might not live.
I struggled beneath my bounds until my arms were free and pulled the gag off. I spun around and glared at Nike. He was the one who almost killed my best friend. This evil man that would resurrect Ganondorf and rule beside him after they create a world of chaos, death and suffering.
"You were the one who almost killed Link aren't you?" I asked in a deadly quiet tone.
"Yes as a mater of fact! I did! I di--" He was cut off from one of my magic blasts. He growled and took out his knife but was shot with an arrow from the crowd. Jamie! She pointed towards the exit of Clock Town and began to run. I shortly followed and kept running.
"So, you are the Princess of Hyrule?" Jamie questioned.
I nodded and she continued.
"Link talked about you often when he was here. At first I just thought that he was whining for no reason, and then I figured that you were his girlfriend or something." She yawned and bent back.
"One thing, I'm NOT his girlfriend!" I retorted.
"Oooh! Touchy, touchy! Prove it! He was always saying stuff like "Oh, look Jamie! Its Zelda's favourite flowers" and "Jamie! Jamie! I'll bet that Zelda would like that!" She shot back.
I fell silent. It was pointless to argue with my companion because she just saved my life, I'm in her debt as well as my brother. Oh, how I hate it when people save me and I never get to prove that I can do it by myself! I really wish that Link was here right now. He always understood me when I felt like this but he is back in Hyrule probably searching for me. Great! He might even get punished for my actions! Oh no!
"Are you ok Zelda? You are pale and look as if you've seen Ganondorf alive again." Observed Jamie. I guess she never misses a beat.
"I just realized that Link will get punished for my actions on running off. He is going to be executed!" I cried and started to pack my things. "Do you know where the nearest ranch is? My horse will surely be there."
"Sure. I'll take you there. It's called Romani Ranch. Come on!"
