Calling from the North
Zaila stared blankly at the ground , she was crouched down looking at her feet , she had not spoken since it had happened , and Link had left her to go and find some food . Even though the light of the Night Star was still shining , it was slowly getting paler , as the first rays of the Day Star gently pushed it down towards the horizon .
Tairo grazed quietly nearby , he often looked up at his mistress , wondering why she was so quiet , and why her hair had turned red .
Zaila sighed and looked at the twin streaks of red that dangled infront of her black eyes . It couldn't be true , it just couldn't . The initial horror of what Ganondorf had said had settled into a numb shock , leaving her empty inside , she just wanted Link to return . He would make things better , somehow he would find a way to make all the fear and pain go away , somehow he would protect her from the truth .
She knew she was acting like a child , afraid and alone . But that was exactly what she was . A ten year old girl trapped within a seventeen year old's body , feeling all the emotions of hate , love and fear . Feelings that a ten year old should not feel while their innocence and purity was new , that she should not have felt until later .
But Link , when he was there , she felt different . She felt like an adult , strong and unafraid , but now he was gone , looking for food . He wouldn't be back for a long time , seeing as Zaila had led them further West , away from the lush summer grass onto the dusty , dry ground of the near-desert .
Zaila was exhausted , from all the emotions storming through her , and as her black eyes closed she saw a huge figure looming over her , it had come from the North , the way they had come , and a soft evil laugh . She couldn't see the face , the figure was framed by the bright light of the Day Star , and as she sank into oblivion she felt strong , painfully strong arms encircle her and lift her from the stony ground .
Link lowly cantered back into the small camp they had set up and dismounted off Epona . He picked up the sack of edible vegetation he had gathered , he had been as quick as he could . The desperate look she had given him when he left had urged him on faster . That look , those black eyes , for the first time he had seen fear in her eyes , she needed him to stay with her , she was like a tiny child , that needed comforting .
"Zaila , hey , Whitey , I've got some food ."
He looked around , and spied her . She was standing , looking towards the North , the bright morning rays of the Day Star blaring into her black eyes , she didn't seem to notice . The light breeze picked up whisps of her hair and whipping them gently around her face , creating a halo effect .
He came up to her , her eyes seemed glazed .
"He wants me , He wants me to go to him . He is calling me ." She breathed , pointing North , into the sunrise , back , towards the castle . "I have to go to him , he is calling me ."
She took a few unsteady steps , before a gauntleted hand on her arm stopped her .
"Zaila , get a hold of yourself . You don't need to go anywhere . You have the Triforce of Courage , as I do , use it now ."
She looked at him , those blue eyes , boring into her , believing that she had the strength enough to break free of the desire to travel North .
"Zaila , please . Don"t do it ."
She was shaking , and she shook her head , a solitary tear falling from her eyes .
".....I can't , I don't know how Link , maybe if I just obey him , all the pain will go away ."
He pulled her closer to him .
"I can make the pain go away ." He murmured to her . as he said this , she saw him leaning down to her . Then she felt it , his soft lips against her , he was kissing her .
The light of the Day Star shone around the two , Zaila reached up and her arms about to curl around his neck , when she paused . Something was happening to her . she trembled and suddenly shoved him away from her , her eyes squeezed shut , and her hands entangled themselves in her hair , as if she was trying to force something out of her head .
Link saw her , she was failing at whatever she was trying to do .
A few seconds later , her eyes snapped open , he gasped , they were no longer black , but a deep blood red , she wore a crazed look .
"Ganondorf ," Link hissed , "Get out of her !!! Leave her ALONE !!" He yelled .
Zaila just laughed manically in response , and pulled out her bow and an arrow . She smiled at him , and a voice which was not her own , but Ganondorf's came from her lips .
"Now , kill him . Kill the interfering little kid !!"
Zaila laughed again and notched the arrow , aiming it at Link's heart .
"Yes , Yes Lord , I will Kill him ."
They stood like that for a few more seconds , Link began to wonder why Zaila hadn't killed him yet . Obviously Ganondorf was wondering the same thing .
"Why haven't you killed him ?!?!"
Came his angry voice . Link could see Zaila was fighting an inner battle , he couldn't tell if she was winning , or loosing .
"KILL HIM !!!"
She slowly nodded , and looked at Link , spying along the length of the shaft , pointing it at his chest .
"NO !!" She yelled , and at the possible moment , she diverted the arrow . Link cried out in agony , as the arrow sunk into his side , the wound wasn't fatal , but it bloody well hurt . He fell to his knees , and looked up at Zaila , her eyes were still red .
She turned away from him and went over to Tairo , she mounted the huge , black horse , and without a backwards glance galloped North , and was lost in the blinding light of the rising Day Star .
Link groaned and fell forward , unable to cling to consciousness any longer .
Wild-Roze : Yeah , I know your probably pretty disappointed , seeing as you had 2 wait ages , and its Such a short chapter . But I would like you to review it anyway , so please do , K ? If you don't review , I don't write .
