Princess Zelda: They way I have it in my story is Zelda is princess until she becomes married. Once she is married then she can be queen =P Now if her parents were still alive, she'd have to outlive them before she became queen after she got married. Thanks for the advice ^_^; I have a tendency to want to write the entire plot at one time in one chapter =P Anyways, thanks a bunches ^_^
^_^ That was a lot of reviews, and a very pleasant surprise when I got home to see 8 reviews in my e-mail box ^_^ Anyways, on with the story!!!
~~~
Zelda had no clue of what had come over herself the other night. All she remembered was being angry. She couldn't make up her mind of what to do. She didn't know whether she should've told Link what had happened, if she should've told Impa, or just forget about the man. But she knew he'd be back. So all she thought was what the price for his offer was.
Unfortunately, Link had noticed something was wrong. She wanted to run, hide, or atleast put up her wall between him and herself so she wouldn't have to show that anything was wrong. So she had simply snapped at him to be quiet. She didn't know any better way.
But the idiot had kept on bugging her. So she got rid of the bug the best way she knew how again. She slapped him and told him to never contradict her again.
Immediately after she had done that, she had regretted it. She never meant to do that. He was her friend, and she could feel herself losing her friend. She immediately started comparing herself to Malon and asking herself if Malon would do that to him. She couldn't even look into his eyes for long.
So finally, to escape his gaze, she left the room, ashamed of herself. She felt like slapping herself. She knew she wasn't supposed to allow anyone to make her feel inferior, but she couldn't help it. She knew she did what she shouldn't have done. But she didn't have the courage to tell him that she was sorry. So she tried to forget what she had done by going to sleep.
When she awoke, she wasn't surprised to find she had another dreamless sleep. She never dreamed. And even when she did, she didn't remember them. They always escaped her before she could fully recall them. All she was left with was the little sensation of having a wonderful dream. She sat up, and tiredly threw her legs over the edge of the bed.
What was even more surprising was to see who else than the man she had seen in the temple before, standing at her doorway. Instantly she bunched her covers up to her chest to cover herself (A.N. some of those nightgowns can be very flimsy =P)
"WHAT IN THE HECK ARE YOU DOING IN HERE!?!" She screamed out in fury.
The man just laughed and started to approach her. "I told you, Princess, I told you I'd come to see you again to discuss what was left undiscussed."
She scooted further across the bed, as if it'd do any good. Trying to get further away from him while not getting up. "GUARDS!" She was now screeching.
But Ganon just laughed. "Don't waste your breath, they're all gone. I'm the only one here now." He paused for a moment, then noticed Zelda's pathetic attempt to cover herself up even more. "I've had better looking ones than you child, what makes you so vain and prideful to think I want your body? Now stop acting like a modest fool. Let's get down to business."
She held her head up high, but didn't drop her covers. "I will not show myself to you like some whore! And I swear, I will have you HANGED!"
He just shrugged. "Maybe, maybe not. I doubt you will. Have you thought of my offer?"
Her mind went blank. Not because she forgot what the offer was, but because she still didn't know if she could trust this person, and she…wasn't sure about anything.
He smiled confidently to himself. 'This will be a piece of cake…' he took a step closer to her. "So, Princess, what will it be…Link to be yours forever, or will you just refuse to be happy?"
She glares at him. She hated being bribed into things. "Link already is mine. He is my servant, AND my friend! And if you think you can…BRIBE ME-"
"He's yours now, but what if Malon starts trying to steal them away?"
"What!?!" She looked at him in the eyes now. Her mind went blank. How could this man possibly know her thoughts?
He just smiled some more, as if it was the most obvious. "Link clearly has feelings for this girl. Even you, a spoiled princess brat who knows nothing, have probably suspected just as much. I mean, it's not everyday you see someone hugging someone they don't care about…and you know, if he has feelings for her…she could just steal him away from you. Quite easily really."
Zelda just let out a snort of laughter. "I could just order him to stay with me! She can't steal him away, he's under my power!" She smiled triumphantly. "Don't assume I don't know anything."
He just laughed. "Princess, you really are quite dense. Do really think that you're the only one on this living planet that has any feelings at all? You're sadly mistaken if you do. You may have his body, but you'd never have his heart. Malon would've stolen that and would've kept it for herself before you could even think about actually doing that."
"I could…" she smiled determined. "I could right now! Before she even has a chance! If he doesn't see her for a while…then he'll forget about her! He's already done so. I DON'T need your help!" She shot him a glare now. "Now get out of my room! Before I find a guard and tell them to have you hanged!"
He sighed, reached into one of the pouches that were hanging about his belt, and took out a crystal sphere. It was like a bubble almost, except it was all incredibly smooth crystal. Zelda blinked in surprise. She thought that surely something so beautiful would've already smashed or would've gotten dirty and ugly in this man's care. "What is that?" She grabbed it out of his hands.
"It's a crystal. A magic one. It shows you want you want to see." He smiled evilly. "Why don't you try asking it where Link is?" He continued staring at her intently, as if his gaze could devour her whole.
Reluctantly, she stared into the crystal ball. "I know where he is!" She yelled. "He's in his bed room! He's SUPPOSED to be at my room right now infact!" Her patience was already gone. She wanted to strangle this man. The all the sudden realized Link's absence didn't help one bit.
"Do you really know that for a fact?"
"I'll prove it!" She held the crystal up. "Show me Link!"
At first the crystal went a dark and cloudy blue, then it showed a ranch. With horses running everywhere. In the middle of the scene stood Malon. She was singing, and the horses were running about. Then Link entered, he himself riding on a horse with a carriage behind him. Malon saw him, then threw herself at him. He seemed quite pleased, and even more when she kissed him on the cheek…
The scene never finished. Zelda screamed in rage and threw the crystal at the man's head. She forgot all modesty, got up, and ran out of her room, still screaming curses. The man yelled after her, "By the way, my name is Ganondorf and I shall be back to see if you change your mind!"
Bwaha, a lil bit of a cliff hanger there =P yup, this chapter was a little over dramatic. But joy joy joy =D More suspense building up!
