Chapter Four

The moonlight reflected against her knife with startling red blood dripping from it. Past blood shed was nothing in her mind. She only focused on the 'here and now' which was using that dirty, red stained knife to kill her next target.

In a trance, she watched Princess Zelda's startled expression replay in her mind. Zelda had seen her and what she had done. She had to contain that information. Hyrule had to think that Link was guilty. That was the only way.

She bounded up the castle wall like an assassin, stealthy, and agile. She stayed in the shadows and was met by two guards who she quickly discarded of. The knife she gripped in her hand was now dirtier.

She ran down the hall in a feral rage, her blood pumping into her brain, relentlessly telling her to kill. She was bloodthirsty. She was starving. Her knife led her to the point without thoughts. All she heard was KILL.

She turned the corner.

She saw yellow.

Blond.

Blond hair.

When she awoke from her feral state, she saw the crimson pool. Red blood on her hands, on her body and dripping from her knife. Disgusted by the bloody creature she had created, she flipped her over, finally seeing her face.

She kicked the body in the face violently. This was not Princess Zelda. She shook her knife off, the red droplets falling around the room. The stench of blood was unbearable. The murderer turned on her heel, her feral rage finished, but her deed incomplete.

A blood curdled scream broke the assassin's trance, and she looked around to find a maid, her mouth agape, and her eyes wide and staring. She would make quick work of her.

Link struggled with the guards, pleading he wasn't guilty. Did they honestly believe that he would do something like that? Didn't they know him at all? A scream disrupted everyone's thoughts.

One of the guards fled obviously noticing the cry for help, and Link tried to escape with him.

"Sorry Link, I'm afraid that you'll have to-"

"I think your real murderer is up there." Link glared, peering into the guards eyes. The guard swallowed and released his grip, letting Link free. Link bolted up the stairs foolishly, although he was without weapon or shield. He was not met with opposition.

He turned the corner, skidding to the side, sprinting towards the source of the scream. He didn't know what he was expecting to find. Or who. He ran down the hall, and suddenly stopped short. Why was his heart beating so hard? Why did he want to see that girl so bad? So he could condemn her? It would never work...

She was messing with his head.

Implanting things in his brain.

Making him afraid.

Making him paranoid.

Link shook his head and ran down the hall finally finding the source of the scream. She was covered in blood, her mouth agape. Link's breath caught in his throat as he felt something finger his back.

Something glinting and silver appeared at his throat. Link threw his neck back, trying not to have the blade touch his skin. He found his head resting on someone's shoulder. A shiver ran down his spine as he felt hot breath on his ear.

"We keep running into each other." The voice whispered in his ear, taunting him. Link tensed at her touch, feeling her free hand wander. He tensed his elbow preparing to use force to free himself.

The blade nicked his neck. She anticipated his next move.

"I wouldn't if I were you..." She moved her head around, catching the red droplets of blood that flowed from the wound she had created.

That was it.

Link shoved his elbow upward, feeling the knife dig into him, but he paid little mind. He stepped backward onto her, shoving her down to the ground, or so he thought. He turned around, and found her missing, finding himself wondering if she was really there at all.

He felt the nick on his neck and found red blood when he drew his hand away. No, she was there.

Another scream set him off. This time he knew the source of the voice. The Princess.

"Zelda!" He sprinted through the castle, looking for the fair haired princess. He soon found her.

The stench of blood filled the room. Link turned and saw his attacker with Zelda. She was underneath the assassin, blood flowing from her. Link stopped and stared, disbelieving.

Suddenly, he charged into a sprint towards the assassin. With no sword, this was foolish indeed, but Link was blind. He broke into a fury, lunging at the woman with only his fists.

"We're more alike than you think," She snarled, dodging Link's fury. She glided out behind him and disappeared from his view. Link turned, finding her absent. He ran to Zelda and took her in his arms, looking over her wounds.

From behind, five guards appeared and gasped at the gruesome sight. Link held Zelda's body tightly, blood on his hands.
