Chapter six
Zelda's eyes widened in shock. "It's nice to finally meet you milady," the man said.
Zelda looked at him. He was wearing a black cloak and he wasn't much different from the other princes she had met. But there was something, something that made Zelda get Goosebumps. She shivered a little and the man noticed. He bent down and was a few inches from Zelda's face. His eyes piercing trough hers. "Is something wrong?" He said coldly, but pretending to care.
Zelda jumped backwards and frowned. "May I ask you're name good sir?" She asked as politely as she possibly could. How dare he treat her like that? She got slightly angry. "My name is Arith, from Terminian, and I apologise for treating you so bad before." She got as an answer. Zelda showed no emotion and remained as cold as she was before. "I see. And may I ask what purpose brings you here?" She said coldly. "Your dear father asked me if I wanted to wed your highness. But I wanted to get to know you first." Zelda didn't remain emotionless anymore. Her tears started flowing down her cheek. Her father is giving her away to some unknown prince, and that prince looks like if he wants to kill her. "Zelda dear? Is something wrong?" The king asked. But Zelda could only hear it slightly. She didn't even notice him. Zelda turned around and walked straight towards her room. "Your father is only doing this for his kingdom Zelda. You must try to understand him," A voice said from her room. "I know Impa. But it hurts so much. I don't want to wed a complete stranger," Zelda answered. "It must be hard for you princess. I'm sure you will find a way out of this." Impa said and walked out the door. The princess heard the door close behind her, and she went over to the window. The moon was shining and the stars surrounded it perfectly. "If everything could be as perfect as the sky," She said to herself and sighed. Silent tears were running down her cheeks, and she started sobbing. Soon after she was tired of crying she drifted quietly to sleep.
Zelda slowly woke up and decided to spend the morning in the garden. It was such a lovely morning, with the sun warming everything. The birds were singing. But for one person there wasn't as pleasant. Zelda couldn't care less this morning, and she just decided to block everything out. She heard footsteps behind her, and found out it was Arith. "Good morning milady isn't this a nice morning?" he said and grinned fake. "Yes, of course, maybe the gods are happy today," Zelda said and smiled sweetly. But inside she was really trying to restrain herself from running or punching him in the stomach. "Yes, indeed. It must be because a beautiful creature like you is outside." Zelda twitched. "I'm very flattered sir Arith, but I have to retreat for the day." Zelda said coldly, and stood up ready to go. Arith grabbed Zelda's wrist hard and pulled her down. Zelda squealed and fell down on the bench. "I'm sorry. But I think we got off on the wrong foot princess," he said evil. "Wha…" Was all the princess could say before she was dragged away after getting a blow on the back of her head. She started to feel dizzy and suddenly everything became black.
The sound from the lake and waves was coming from somewhere. "Where am I?" Zelda asked herself, while she tried to recover from the blow. She got slowly up but then she suddenly felt a sting from the back of her head. She fell down again while holding around her head. "Oow… what?" she said and looked at her hand. It was blood. But she didn't get any more blood, since it was all dried up. "Ouch! How long have I been here?" she asked and looked around. "About five days princess." A dark voice said behind her. Zelda squealed and turned around. Outside of her "cage" there was Arith. "Soon, the king will do anything to get you back, and I wonder what I will get," He started to laugh loud and evil. Zelda backed up and sat down in the corner unable to say a thing. "Wh-where am I?" Zelda stuttered. "I think the best is for you to not know," he said and grinned. Zelda shivered and closed her eyes.
"Hey Epona! Not so fast!" Link yelled to his horse as she was running towards the lake. Link was told to get some fresh water from the lake, analyse it and then bring it back to the Zoras. "We're not in a hurry you know! I'm sure the professor has loads of time!" Before Link noticed, Epona had run over the bridge. The horse stopped suddenly and Link flew over her head and into the water. "Hey! What was that for?" Link shouted at the horse. But the horse didn't care and started to chew on some grass. Link grabbed the horse and tied it to a tree. Then he heard some noise coming from the lab on the other side of the lake. Then the professor ran out from the lab and collapsed on the ground. "What the…?" Link ran over the bridge only to be attacked by a few birds. He managed to get trough them and hurried over to the professor. "Hey! Are you okay?" Link asked worried. He didn't get any response, and Link just stood there watching him. Suddenly Link heard something. He lifted his eyebrow: "Wh-whoa! Is he snoring!" He jumped backwards when the professor gave out a loud snore. "And here I was worried. Sick old man." Link sighed, laughing to himself.
Arith brought Zelda out of the cage. He tilted her chin and grinned: "Well well. It doesn't seem like your precious knight in white armour isn't coming to save you, princess." Zelda twitched and turned away from Arith in disgust. "And what exactly are you planning to do Arith? You'll never get away with this, and my father will find you." She stated. Arith started to laugh out loud. "Not if I make you become my wife and rule over Hyrule. I've reconsidered the fact that your father will get you back, 'cause it's so much easier to just make YOU." He said and grinned devilish as he walked over to a bench to get some tape. "Now don't scream princess, this will just take a second." Arith put some tape over Zelda's mouth while she was struggling. Zelda kicked Arith on the leg and he winced in pain. Zelda grinned behind the tape. "That should make him suffer for a while, after all I'm wearing high heals." With her hands tied to her back she ran into the door and pushed it open. Zelda got outside but then she fell to the ground. The struggling princess looked up as she heard a familiar voice calling; "Zelda! Are you okay?" Link had seen Zelda stumble out the door and he ran to her. Link pulled the tape of her mouth. "What's going on?" he asked bluntly as he untied her. "I-it's Arith! He's g-going to…" Zelda couldn't finish and started crying. "Say no more Zelda." Link said. "I will stop him, don't worry." Zelda's eyed widened and she looked at Link. He unsheathed his sword and ran towards the lab, leaving Zelda outside. He kicked the door open and found Arith seated on a chair relaxing. Link got a little nervous, when he saw Arith but still said: "You! I will not let you have Zelda or Hyrule! Fight!" Link heard Arith's laughter increase greatly. Arith got up from the chair and turned around. His eyes fixated on Link he said with a loud dark voice: "Very well Hero. If you want to fight, you can fight." Arith pulled out two large swords and ran quickly towards Link. "You dare trying to destroy my plans!" He shouted and swung his blade towards Link's shoulder.
