Hellooooooooooo, people! hehe…sry for taking so long for me to update. I was just never in the mood to write, but plz don't think me lazy. Sometime I just totally don't feel like writing even though I love doing it.

Okay now on to the reviews!

kitana5055: like, hundreds of years later. Not thousands, hundreds. No, Link will probably not be in the story. And if you were just wondering, I didn't copy yur character. I couldn't think of a name so I gave her the name that my friend liked, and it fit.

Tobi Tortue: it really was a wonderful review! Thank you soooooooo much! You have no idea how much that helped me! yeah, I hate first-person too…uh and the Gale POV is just going to be for how long it just gonna be, then the rest will be told in third person from more of Kitara perspective. And you totally read my mind with the first plot idea (I'm not just saying it, it's true). You know…it kinda bugs me that you're practically telling my own story cause most of those ideas ran through my head one time or another. Uh, this isn't a tragedy. I already have a tragedy story that's even complete with a sequel plot. The only thing is it's not posted yet. And it probably won't be for a REALLY long time. Yeah…I get the idea about the reviews… I won't do it again. I promise! And I don't break promises.

Lucibelle: I luv you (not in an icky gushy way)! thanx for all that criticism…no really THANK YOU! It was really helpful. I'm glad you like Kitara. Sry…I'll try to slow it down a bit on this chapter.

Okay, you guys! this will be the last chapter in Gales POV. Following chapters will be in third person! R&R! Plz and Thankee!

The Princess Assassin

-Chapter 4-

"No…"

There on floor before me lay the body of our King in a pool of his own blood. Over him loomed a large frightening creature I had never seen before. It had the head and abdomen of a male Gerudo and the bottom half of his body was the tail of a giant snake. It had yellow slits as eyes that glowed with evil.

I stepped back from shock and horror making the steel plates that soled my shoes clink. The monster turned on me, flickering its serpent-like tongue with a threatening hiss.

"Ah…" he seemed almost pleased to see me, "the young heir to rule this worthless race…" His hisses became louder as the creature slithered toward me. In a flash my swords were held in front of me, ready for anything that dared to clash with them.

As the snake-like being began to circle me, I tensed my grip on my swords. "No need to be alarmed…" the creature hissed eyeing me with its yellow eyes, "I do not wish to cause unnecessary bloodshed."

I fumed, completely offended by this, but still held my ground. "What makes you think can?" I asked.

He chuckled the typical evil guy laugh. "Playing games now are we, boy?" The creature raised his hand aiming it toward me as it started to glow a ghastly purple. "You have no idea who you're dealing with!" A blast of energy erupted from its palm and exploded in front of me, doing only little harm.

"Argh!" I fell to the ground with a loud thud, also temporarily blinded by the sudden blast to my face. A second later I was back on my feet, again in my fighting stance. I looked around in confusion at the empty room.

My attention returned to the motionless body on the ground, kneeling next to him. I resisted the tears that immediately sprang to my eyes, as I looked at his elderly face. Why did you have to die? Why? You were like a father to me…especially after Mother…-choke- died…

-Flashback-

"Mom?" I asked my eyes wide. "Why is the ground shaking?" I heard the sound of something cracking above and looked up. "Aaaaah!"

"Gale!" I was suddenly pushed aside as I heard the ceiling collapse. After I recovered from hitting against the wall, I looked at the pile of rubble that my mother was now hopelessly under. "Mom!" I screamed over the noise of falling rocks.

I waited for an answer. It came faintly. "Run, Gale! Find your sister and get out of here!"

"But what about you!" My eyes were filled with tears knowing that she wouldn't be able to make it out in time.

"Don't worry about me! I'll make it! Just get you and your sister out of here!"

I turned to leave and looked back. "Promise?"

"I promise! Now GO!"

-Flash over-

I cried silent bitter tears. Me, now King of the Gerudo, crying over my long deceased mother. I knew I should be cleaning up the body and tell the women of the needed funeral, but only one thing kept on coming to my mind.

"She lied to me…" I said to nobody in particular, "She broke her promise." Then I shook myself back into reality. I shouldn't think about the past...I chided myself; it only hurts the present…and destroys the future…But still, that horrible day never left my heart, no matter how hard I tried to shove it away.

I looked down at lifeless figure on the floor and picked up his blood-covered body, in turn also soiling myself with blood. I grind my teeth together trying to shake off the icky feeling as the sticky liquid made contact with my dark, bare skin.

He was very heavy, even after losing all his blood, and I put him back down. I decided it would be much easier to carry him on my own back rather than holding him out in front of me. I heaved him onto my back without as much trouble as I did trying to carry him with my arms. I began the long walk back to Gerudo Valley, with the extra weight; it took me much longer than if I were walking solo.

When I finally reached the strong, wooden gates that guarded the entrance to the Haunted Wasteland, I was a horrible mess. I heard a loud gasp from above me on the watch tower.

I looked up at the face of a young horror stricken Gerudo. "What-what in Hyrule happened? Is he alright?"

The sorrowful look on my face answered her questions, but still she waited for a reply. I opened my mouth to answer but nothing came out. It seemed that I couldn't put how I felt into words. The only response I gave her was a shake of my head and that told everything.

The girl's eyes filled up with tears, for our king was very dear to our race. She immediately opened the gate and jumped down from the high tower with amazing grace.

The young Gerudo made a beeline to where I had lay down the body. I looked at her shaking body as she asked her voice just as shaken, "W-Wha-What happened?"

Before I could answer we were swarmed by many other Gerudos, including my critical sister. She pushed through the confused crowd to the front and staggered back into the others when she saw the pale body. With wide eyes she asked me, "What in Hyrule did you do?"

After her outburst, they all drowned me with their many questions.

"What happened?"

"Who did this?"

"Did you do it?"

"How could someone do something so horrible?"

The commotion was broken up by one of the oldest Gerudo in our race, Astrid. "Calm down everyone!" her voice was firm but small tears were seen trying to squeeze out of her eyes. "Bohdan was a very fine king, and we shall all miss him. But we should not be pulled back by this loss. After all, our ancestors often had gone on due to the slaying of the King of Thieves. We shall also!" There was no shout to this speech, only nodding heads and tears.

Astrid continued to say, "Bohdan's funeral will be held tomorrow at dawn…along with Gale's ceremony to be King of Thieves." Her golden eyes bore down on me, threatening me not to be late. I only nodded my head at her silent glare.

Everyone soon broke up to return to their stations as evening approached. Astrid took me aside to tell me that the Gerudo who had tended to the young Hylian I had save this morning wanted to see me. Again, I nodded my head and walked into 'Gerudo Hideout,' into my room.

As I entered our little fortress, the nurse, Ciara, that had tended to the young girl I had rescued this morning met with me. She came out of a room she had moved the girl to and looked at me in with her amber-gold eyes. I tried to read the look in them, for some unknown reason I worried about the girl, but failed. Unable to hold the suspense I asked her with concern in my voice, "Is she going to live?"

She nodded her response solemnly. "The girl is strong to her race…her chances are good."

"Is she still asleep?" I strained my ears and took a step closer but heard no noise come from the room behind where the elder Gerudo stood.

Her hand instinctively put itself in front of my chest preventing me to come near. "If you are wondering how long it will take for her to awaken, then it will be awhile, but no telling when. She lost much of her blood in her tangle with the wolfoe and seems to have not eaten in properly within the last day."

"I understand," trying my best to sound patient but every second I grew more anxious, "But…can I just see her?" Her arm slowly lowered.

"Anything you wish." She then bowed her head with respect making me feel very awkward. Ciara looked up with teasing eyes at my weird expression. "What?" she asked like an innocent little girl, "You don't like this? Well, you're going to have to get used to it!" The nurse laughed and walked down the corridor past me.

My golden eyes focused on the only thing that kept me from seeing inside the room, a gossamer piece of cloth that draped over the doorway. Cautiously, I approached the room and gently pushed the cloth out of my way. I tiptoed into the small, yet spacious room, afraid that even a small noise would wake the girl. Kneeling by her bed, I looked into her youthful, bandaged covered face. She appeared much younger than me, about the age of ten. The girl's injuries seemed to be rather severe. Especially the deep diagonal cut across her face. That was what had frightened me most of all when I had rescued her. I frowned at her condition at such a young age, hoping that what Ciara just informed me would be true. That she'd make it…

A small groan escaped her lips, startling me. Was she about to wake up? I stared at her for a moment but nothing happened. Just then I realized that the girl wore a strange expression on her face, as if something was causing her pain. I didn't know anything about her but for some reason unknown to me I felt there was something special about her. The young Hylian suddenly clutched the edges of her thin blanket with yellow glowing hands and groaned again this time slightly louder. I became more alarmed when I noticed that she begun to sweat and her breathing became somewhat rasped and hard.

"Oh…no," I thought perhaps she was getting worse and hurried out to get Ciara to look at her again. I must have rounded Gerudo Fortress four times franticly searching for her before I ran out of breath and assumed she was at the ceremony that was to be held soon. Giving up, I sulked back to the room the girl slept to check on her one last time before I left for the thrown room where it was to be held.

I laid my hand against the door frame allowing my head to rest on it. I raised my head just enough so I could look at her face. The girl was now covered in sweat and still held the blanket tightly in her grasp, but her hands had stopped their strange glowing. She seemed to have calmed down at bit and I figured it would be alright to leave her alone for a couple ours. As silently as I could I tiptoed out of the room wondering about her glowing hands. I glanced over my shoulder. Something is special about this girl…I'll find out one day…

0o0o0o0o-

Well? How was that? Was it a bad way to end a chapter? Well it's my longest one yet! Yeah I know the ending was kinda boring, but I couldn't think of anything else to write. Anyways I'm gonna skip the part about the ceremony. It's gonna be pointless talking that is not worth reading. Well now I've got some questions…

What is an 'alert' for? More specifically, what is 'C2alert'?
