CHAPTER 6

~Taken~

"Wake up…Zelda", she heard a women's voice say softly. The person nudged her gently. Zelda opened her eyes and rubbed the sleep out of them.

In front of her stood a tall, blue/gray haired women with crimson. She had a dark blue outfit with silver armor on her upper half on. Her hair was tied back into a pony tail and under her eyes were silver markings.

She snapped out of her dazed trance. "Impa!!", exclaimed Zelda. She jumped up into her nanny's arms and gave a big hug. "Oh, I'm so happy to see you!"

"I'm more than happy to see you, Zelda. You must tell me everything about your life in that other time, but now we have to get ready for the ball.", she said.

Impa got up and went into her room. A second later she came back with a gown for her. It was unlike the normal dresses she would usually wear. This one was like a prom dress. It was all pink and had sequences on the bottom part. The bottom was fluffed out to go around her.

"It's beautiful, Impa.", said Zelda. Impa handed it to her so she could put it on. Zelda slipped on her dress and looked in the mirror.

"You are wonderful princess.", said Impa smiling. Zelda looked at herself. She had changed since she arrived. Her usually straight hair had become a sea of golden waves. Her skin looked softer and more pale. She enjoyed the change of style. 'The princess look is good.', she thought.

After putting make-up on and making herself more pretty, she and Impa walked out into the hallway. Link, Saria and Malon were standing outside there rooms waiting for her when she came out. They were all dressed in formalwear, even Link.

Link, who was talking to Saria, looked up at her when she came out. For a few seconds it was plain to see that he was staring at her.

"Your… beautiful.", he complemented her.

Zelda blushed. "You look great too.", she said. That was no lie either. He was the best looking guy she had ever met.

Malon rolled her eyes. She grabbed Saria and walked off towards the celebration. Impa followed leaving her and Link alone.

"So, how do you like it here so far?", asked Zelda.

"It's great, but it's so weird. I still think this is some crazy dream or something, you know?", he replied.

"Oh, I know. I don't think this is real, but some of me does. This happened so fast too. It went by like that, and now that we have our memories of our life of Hyrule and normal life, I'm not exactly sure how old I am anymore.", she laughed.

"Yeah. It's hard to put everything together. Some things don't fit.", he said.

"Maybe it's because of what Navi said. Maybe we don't remember everything yet."

"Your probably right.", he said. "…I wasn't just being a good boyfriend when I said you were beautiful. You really are." He looked into her eyes as he said it.

"I know. And I wasn't lying about what I said either. Link, I've always had something for you. I remember. It was so lonely when you were in the chamber of sages.", she said sadly.

"Do you know the reason I saved Hyrule?… I saved it for you… I remember having a crush on you too", he laughed.

"Remember…don't you still?", she asked with a smirk.

"Course I do", he said. He moved close to her and they kissed. Finally. The first kiss had come. It was ten times better than the dream kiss.

He moved slowly away from her. "Com'n we got to go to a party." He held her hand and together they walked into the ballroom.

The room was huge. It was a good thing to because there were more than two hundred Hylians, Zoros, and Gorons together.

They saw them walk in and held their breath. The people were so happy to have there princess and hero back. The king made a speech about his daughter and how happy he was that this day had finally come and then he announced dinner was being served.

Everyone sat down at the very long dinner table. Chiefs came to put food on every single plate in the room.

Zelda, Link, Saria, Malon, and the five out of six sages sat nearest to the king, who was at the head of the table.

The food was delicious. They had turkey, chicken, lobster, every kind of food you could think of was there.

After everyone was done eating, people started to make their way back to the ballroom.

Zelda thought the music was actually kind of good. Everyone danced for a while and then the last slow dance came.

"Would you dance?", asked Link.

Zelda gave a big smile. She took his hand and went onto the dance floor. Saria and Malon were left sitting at one of the circular tables.

A man about the same age as Malon came up to her. "Why would such a beauty be alone on this dance", he said. Malon blushed. "My name is Kevin, may I have this dance?"

Malon nodded, "certainly.", she said and took his hand eagerly.

"So, what's your name?", he asked her while they danced.

"I'm Malon", she answered.

"Malon…what a pretty name." he smiled. She smiled back.

Zelda was dancing with Link in the middle of the dance floor. He held her close and she rested her head against his chest. She felt as if she were floating. She wouldn't be anywhere else in the world right now.

******************************************************************

After the ball, Zelda and Link made there way back to there rooms. "Goodnight, Zelda." he said to her.

"Goodnight Link.", she said back. He kissed her for a long moment and they made there way into there own rooms to sleep.

Zelda rested her head on the soft pillows of her bed and gently fell asleep thinking that nothing would ever go wrong.

She was wrong though. Outside the castle, a shadow lurked near Zelda's room. One of the guards noticed and went to check it out.

The guard recognized the figure. "Master Link, why are you not asleep in your room, but instead out here?", asked the guard.

He looked at the guard with a grin and pulled out his sword. The guard seemed confused.

"What are you…", before he could finish, he had already sliced the man's throat.

The dark shadow climbed up a vine that led to Zelda's window. It peeked into the window to see Zelda asleep. He came up to her bed and started to nudge her awake.

"huh?", she said sleepily. Link was standing over her bed. "Link, what are you doing up?.. And why the heck are you wearing a black tunic?" She squinted trying to see him, it was very dark now and hard to see his face.

"It's just the shadows… Come with me, I have to show you something important.", he said softly to her. He leaned down to kiss her, and she of course kissed him back.

"Can't it wait till morning?", she said with slight annoyance. He shook his head. When he did, she saw something in his eyes. It was a tint of red. Zelda thought nothing of it for a second and then remembered in horror.

Link had once told her when they had hung out in Hyrule that he had, had a dark side to him. The dark side wasn't exactly in him though. It was a whole other person. His name was Dark Link. This had to be him, she could sense the evil.

"Um… can I use the bathroom first?", she asked. She inched her way out of the bed, facing towards him, and into the bathroom. She locked the door.

'ok, what do I do know', she thought with panic. This guy was totally opposite of Link, she was scared he might do something to her.

She had to escape. Zelda went to the window and looked down. ' great, vines', she thought. She quietly climbed down the vines and landed on the soft, dirt ground.

Someone behind her gabbed her and spun her around. "Didn't think you could get away that easily did you, princess?", he said menacingly.

"LINK!!!!", she screamed. "HELP ME!!!!" Then she felt a hard slap in the face.

"Shut up!", he yelled at her. He gabbed her by the waist and lifted her onto his jet black horse.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Link awoke from Zelda's scream. He hurried into her room and looked out the window. He saw her and Dark Link on the horse. "Zelda!!", he called for her.

She looked up at him with a tear rolling down her face. "Link!", she called back.

Dark Link noticed and smirked to him. He lifted up his hand and hit Zelda once more just to make Link boil inside.

It worked. Link called for Epona, his horse, and jumped on from the window. Fortunately he had brought his sword when he had herd Zelda scream. He tried to slash at Dark Link but instead hit his horse. The horse gave a loud cry and started galloping out of the castle grounds.

Link chased after them. Though both of there horses were fast, Dark Link's horse was faster. She could see Link getting smaller and smaller as they galloped away. Now she felt panic spread through her body. Link was no longer in sight, she was not safe now.

Zelda screamed hoping someone was in the field of Hyrule. She started pounding her fists on Dark Link's back. Maybe if she hit hard enough, he would eventually let go of her. Her attempt seemed to make no difference to him. There was nothing she could do know but cry.

They eventually made there way into Geruto Fortress. No one was outside, not even the guards. They had all gone to sleep at these late hours and with the thickness of the fortress's walls, there was no point in calling for help, for no one would be able to hear her.

He rode past the fortress and entered the desert. Once they entered she felt the harshness of the blowing sands. It hurt as it scratched against her face, some of it even reaching into her eyes. It burned and made them tear. She bowed her head down to shield herself from the threatening sandstorm.

He got off the horse and dragged her down too. Now he tugged her along as they followed the red flags that lead to the temple of the sand goddess.

When they reached the temple the storm settled down. He led her into the temple and into a large hallway with a bunch of rooms.

They entered a large room that looked like a dungeon. A few moblins were guarding a chamber. Dark Link threw her in the chamber and locked the gate.

"Welcome to your new home, princess.", he said. How evil he sounded. 'how could this be any part of Link', she thought.

"Why are you doing this? Why do you want me?", she asked, tears rolling down her face.

He smirked as if he knew that she was going to ask that question. "Well, its very simple.", he said. "Link loves you, plain to see, though right now he is confused with his feelings. So naturally I do love you to, just in a more evil way. Plus Link will come look for you, which gives me the chance to kill him myself. In honor of my great king, Gannondorf."

"But, Link killed you. How are you back?", she asked between cries. She backed up into a corner, trying to get as far away from him as possible, and sat down.

"Yes, it seemed he destroyed me, but foolish him to think so. All he did was send me back to the dark realm, and when Gannondorf started to gain power once again, he let me escape with a spell.", he answered. "Lucky for you, my Master is not well right now, its why your kingdom is still standing."

"What happened?", she asked nervously, hoping it was something deadly.

"It is not of your business!", he snapped at her. "But, eventually you will know so I will tell you. Not too long ago, all the sages decided they would try and attack us for an attempt to destroy Gannon. They had almost killed him, but before they could get the last hits in, I attacked with his army and drove the sages out. He has been in a coma ever since, but he will get revived soon, very soon…Until then, he told me to enjoy myself." He walked towards her cell and opened the door.

Zelda got up to move away from him. She really wished Link was here. He came up to her as close as he could and leaned in for a kiss.

She turned her head so that he would miss her mouth and only get her cheek. He got a little annoyed but then held her head in place so she couldn't move. He tried kissing her again. This time she gave in. His kiss was filled with hunger and aggressiveness.

After he pulled away this was her chance. She pulled her arm as back as she could and used all of her strength to smack him hard in the face.

This time when he hit him, it made him fall back. He looked up at with surprise. The surprise didn't last long and turned into anger.

He got up and smacked her back. He of course, being a guy, was much stronger. Zelda fell to the floor and huddled back into her corner.

"He won't find you! And if he does, I will kill him in front of you!", he yelled at her. "Why would he want a worthless piece of junk like you anyway!:" He walked out of the room and slammed the door.

It was late and Zelda felt tired. She was filled with grief though. 'Maybe he's right, Maybe he won't ever find me.', she thought and cried herself to sleep, still huddled in the small corner.

******************************************************************

Zelda was wondering in an endless plain of light. It was foggy and she couldn't see were she was going. Then she saw in the distance a shadow of a man walking around as aimlessly as she was.

"Hello", she called out to him. She walked closer. The fog was now disappearing as she got closer. She started to make out his features. It was Link! She ran up to him and gave him a hug.

"Zelda", he whispered. "I'm so happy to see you… Where did he take you?" He ran his finger through her hair, holding her tight.

Then she remembered. She was still in that dungeon. "Link, I..I don't know, but I'm scared. He hit me, I don't know how much longer I can stay there." She started to cry thinking of the horrible things Dark Link could do to her.

"Don't cry, I promise I'll find you.", he said and held her close to him. He felt so warm and welcoming, it reminded her of the time they first met at the football game. She never wanted it to end.

"Do you remember passing a certain area?", he asked.

"Yeah, we passed Geruto Fortress and then entered the desert. I'm in some kind of temple, but I don't know how to get there.", she answered with some hope.

"Great, I'll come get you right away! Zelda, if he tries to hurt you, use your powers to drive him off.", he said now looking in her eyes.

Just then she remembered she had powers. She was filled with so much panic before that she forgot all about them. "Please, don't go now. Stay with me till morning. I don't want to be alone.", she pleaded.

"Of course I'll stay with you.", he answered. He sat down on the ground to get comfy. She sat down next to him and leaned against his chest. He held he there until they awoke.
