Hidden Nightmares

Disclaimer: If I owned LoZ, you would know by now.

Elendil Star-Lover: Actually, Link didn't even know what he had to do, he was just saying what he assumed.
Uber Spoonz: Muahahaha, CDL is no more...and he has no pie!

Chapter Four: Time To Find Darunia

Link and Zelda walked toward Death Mountain, covered by cloaks once again. Without Epona, they had been walking for an hour. They hadn't spoken a word, just walked in silence. Once they got to Kakikiro Village, they were stopped by a Griffon.

"Halt!" It shouted, "Only when you answer my questions can you pass!"

Zelda stepped forward, "Out of our way!"

"Sorry vampiress, but I'm on Ganondorf's orders."

"Excuse me!" Zelda shrieked, "By order of your princess, I command you get out of our way!"

The griffon stepped aside and let Zelda through, but blocked Link's way, "To pass, you must answer my question. In the future, what is to become of Hyrule?"

Link froze. Apparently the griffon could see the future, as it didn't appear to be joking. Link glanced at Zelda, who made swimming motions with her hand. He took that as a sign and answered.

"Hyrule will be flooded?"

"Correct. Now you may pass."

Link hurried to catch up with Zelda.

"How did you know?" He hissed.

"I dreamed that Hyrule would be flooded one hundred years after Ganondorf died," Zelda replied calmly.

Link shivered, but kept on walking, silent once again. Kakikiro Village was deserted, everyone was probably in Hyrule Field. They slipped through the gate and continued up to Death Mountain Crater.

"Zelda, I don't think you should come with me. Stay here in Kakikro Village, Death Mountain Crater is way to hot for you," Link suggested.

"Don't be ridiculous!" Zelda snapped, "I'm coming with you whether you like it or not!"

Link sighed and began the steep climb to Death Mountain Crater. Once again they remained silent. At the top, they found Lord Dodongo.

"What are you doing here!" Link cried, removing his hood.

"Link? Link is that you?" It replied.

"Darunia?" Link asked incredously.

Zelda glanced at Darunia, a hungry look in her eyes, "You know, dodongo's have great-tasting blood. And since you're a king-"

"Zelda!" Link cried. "That's Darunia! A sage!"

Zelda sighed and started walking around Death Mountain Crater, occasionaly baring her fangs at passing keese. She stopped soon enough and started to watch Link talking to Darunia. Just as she was about to approach them, a hand clapped around her waist. Another went over her mouth, muffling her scream of terrified surprise.

"And so, Nabooru's talking with Ganondorf, but-hey where's Zelda?" Link was saying.

Darunia shrugged his massive dodongo shoulders. Link and Darunia looked around, but they found nothing, no trace of Zelda or the man who had captured her.

In Ganon's Tower

"W-Where am I?" Zelda muttered groggily.

"You? You're in my clutches mow. That idiot Link and his pathetic sages will never find you now. And even if they do, they'll never get past the new barrier I put up."

Zelda whipped around, locating the source of that sneering voice. Ganondorf stood, laughing like a maniac, before her. He raised his hand and, withing seconds, a barrier formed, trapping her. She poked at it experimentally. It didn't hurt her, just seemed to increase her hungriness.

"Like my barrier, Princess? The more time you spend within your little imprisonment, the more you'll transoform. Now sleep! Sleeping increses your vampire senses, Princess!"

Zelda dropped, unconsious, to the floor at his words. She tossed and turned, breathing heavily, reliving the second-worst moment of her life.

Zelda's Dreams

"Hey Link!" Ten-year-old Zelda cried, stepping onto the field.

"Hey Zel," Link smiled nervously at the sight of her highness.

"What's wrong?" Zelda asked, cocking her head to the side.

Link shook his head, glancing over at Malon. One of Zelda's best friends, Ruto, came flouncing over. With a glare at Link, she grabbed Zelda and walked off.

"What is it?" Zelda asked her.

"It's Link. Everyone's talking about him. They're saying he's having a pretend wedding," Ruto answered.

"Oh, that's so sweet," Zelda smiled, then looked questioning, "Why wasn't I informed about my own wedding?"

"Because it's not you," Ruto mumbled, "It's Malon."

"WHAT! Malon? The ranch girl?" Zelda screamed, "But he already pledged his devotion to me, he told me he loved me, he told me-"

She stopped shouting, looking stunned. Then she said quietly, "He played me for a fool."

Ruto nodded, looking grim. Zelda turned, with a swing of her long blonde hair, and stalked off to find Link.

"You idiot! What the heck do you think you're doing, walking away with some other girl! I don't know what you think you're doing, but I swear it, me and you are so over! If I ever see your ugly face again in my life, I'll have you killed before the King! Now get. Out. Of. My. SIGHT!" Zelda screamed, spitting at Link's shoes.

Zelda whirled around, tears splattering the ground below. Everyone stood, watching them like they were some type of soap opera or whatever.

As she walked, Zelda whispered something under her breath. "I loved you!"

Zelda Awakens

Zelda awoke to find Nabooru beside her, staring gloomily ahead.

"Nabooru? What are you doing here?" Zelda blurted out.

"He knew. When I went to see him he knew. I think...I think there's a spy in our ranks."

Zelda's heart dropped. A spy? But that would mean...

"Link!" Zelda cried, her hands trembling.

There you go, another fine chappy. Really, I should stop making promises I can't keep. I'll try to make the next chapters longer, okay. Okay, well, read, review, wait for next and in the mean time, read all the other stories I wrote...or the ones I'm doing right now. Bye now.
