CHAPTER 11 (SHEIK POINT OF VIEW)

Link turned to look at me. I saw his huge blue eyes were wide with surprise. "The king's your father?" he asked.

I looked away and nodded.

"So Zelda's your sister?"

I looked at him sharply. "Half sister!" I snapped.

"Sorry."

I was finished covering my breasts. I looked around for my cloak. It was on the floor. I picked it up and put it back on. "She never told me either," I said, slipping the cloak over my head.

"Then how did you find out?"

"My father found out," I replied. "He told me before he died. Even so; he wasn't mad at my mother. He forgave her. He said I should forgive her too. But I can't! She lied to me all this time!"

Link put a hand on my shoulder. "Sheik," he said. "Maybe this is why he didn't tell you. Because she knew you wouldn't understand."

I looked away.

"Could you do something for me?" he asked.

I glanced at him. "What?"

"Could you please untie me?" he said. "These ropes are cutting off circulation."

"All right." I reached down and picked up my dagger off the floor. I grabbed his wrists and cut the ropes.

"Thank you," he said, rubbing them to draw blood.

I didn't say anything.

"So," he went on. "Now that I know what's going on I think we'd better head back to Castle Town."

"Why?" I demanded.

The Hylian gave me a look. "To make sure Ganondorf doesn't use his triforce of power to take over Hyrule."

"Oh," I said. "But we can't."

"Why not?"

"Ganaondorf locked the door and took the key with him," I explained. "I guess he did it to prevent either one of us from stopping him."

Link growled and punched the door frame. "Damn it! Now what are we going to do?"

I shook my head. "I don't know. Maybe Din will give us a miracle."

As soon as these words came out of my mouth we heard the doorknob jiggling.

"What's that?" I asked.

Link looked toward the door. "Someone's unlocking the door," he told me. "I hope it's not Ganondorf coming back to finish the job."

I tensed. If it was, Link's death would be my fault. After all; if it han't been for me this never would have happened. I was going to have another death on my concious. The door opened and slid forward slowly. I saw a shadowy figure standing in the doorway. Oh my goddess!
"Link?" a voice said.

"Yeah...," he replied causiouly.

Th person stepped into the room. It was a female Gerudo with a pink jewel on her forehead like Ganondorf's.

Link seemed to know the woman because he gasped. "Nabouru!"

"Hello, Link," she said.

"What are you doing here?"

"I came to rescue you," she replied. "I saw Ganondorf carring you here so I had one of my subordinates steal the key."

"Thank you," he said grabbing my arm and starting for the door. "Sorry I don't have time to talk. There's something me and this person have to do."

Nabouru nodded. "Yes, I know," she said. "Ganondorf headed to Castle Town awhile ago. I'm worried about what he's planning on doing."

"Don't worry," he told her. "I'll take care of it."

We rushed out of the valley.

"How are you planning on getting to Catsle Town in such a short time?" I asked him. "You left Epona at your house."

Link reached into his tunic and pulled out a blue ocarina. "Stand close to me," he ordered. "I'll get us there in seconds. Just stay close."

I wrapped my arms around his waist. "Close enough?" I asked.

"Yeah."

Then he put the instrament to his lips and started to play. Immediately we were surrounded by a yellow light.

"What's going on?" I asked.

Link couldn't answer, he was still playing to ocarina. When the light faded I found myself in a temple. "Where are we?" I asked.

He stopped playing, put the instrament back into his tunic and turned to me to answer. "The Temle of Time. I wrapped us to Castle Town." he grabbed my hand. "Now let's go!"

We ran out of the Temple.

Since it was dark no one was outside. Good, I thought. Nobody knows what's happened yet.

Signs that Ganondorf had been there didn't show up until we reached the road to the castle. We say the gaurds lay sprawled all over the place.

"He's here," Link said, looking at me. "Let's get in there before it's too late."

I nodded. "Okay," I said.

Meanwhile in the castle, Impa and Zelda were running through the halls of the castle. They were being chased by Ganondorf who wanted Zelda's triforce of knowledge. He chased them out of the castle and onto a balconey in the back on the castle.

"No where to run," he said, cornering them near the railing.

Impa stood protectively infront of the princess. "You shall not hurt the princess!" she yelled.

"What are you going to do about it, Shadow Sage?" he demanded. "You cannot hurt me." he grinned evily. "Or were you expecting someone else to? Like the Hero of Time."

Impa growled. "What have you done with him?" she demanded.

"I haven't done anything yet but.." he pulled out the Master Sword. "Even if he does get away and comes here he won't be using this to save you."

Zelda gasped. 'The Master Sword!" she exclaimed.

"That's right, princess," the Gerudo said, holding up the ancient blade to give them a better look. "The little hereo's sword."

"How did you get that?" Impa demanded.

"A little Sheikah helped me get it," he replied smiling at the memory. "In exchange for me helping him get his revenge on the princess." he laughed. "A kid after my on heart."

"SHEIK!" Impa exclaimed, knowing full well who it was.

Ganondorf nodded. "That's right," he said. "I'm surprised you knew who I was talking about."

"Sheik is." she hated to admit it, especially to him. "My child."

The King of Evil raised an eyebrow. "Really," he said. "He doesn't act a thing like you. He has a lot of anger. Would it have to do with Merlain?"

"Shut up!"

"Fine," he said. "I'll just kill you now."

He charged at the two.

Zelda covered her eyes and screamed. (Man is she a wimp!)

Suddenly a light arrow shot out of nowhere. It caught the King of Evil in the shoulder. He cried out and grabbed his wound. His red brown eyes scanned the area for the shooter. He spotted Link on the other balconey. The Hylian was holding a bow and aiming it at the Gerudo.

"Do not harm the princess!" he yelled.

"How did you get away?" Ganondorf demanded.

"I had some help," Link replied pulling back on the bow string. "Now I won't let you harm Zelda!"

"Then I'll harm you!" the Gerudo jumped at the Hylian.

Link got out of the way just in time. The Gerudo landed where he'd been standing. He turned to Link and began attacking him. A figure landed on the balconey where Zelda and Impa stood. It turned to look at them.

"Sheik!" Impa screamed sounding angry and disappounted.

It was me!

"Mother," I yelled. "You have to get the princess out of here!"

Impa stared at me suspiciously. "Why should we listen to you?" she demanded. "This is your fault you know."

I knew all too well. "I know," I said, my shoulders sagging. "But I don't care. I wanted revenge that was all. I didn't want this to happen."

"But it did thanks to you."

"I know, damn it!" I shouted at her angry. "Stop pointing out all my mistakes everytime you see me! You think I don't know when I do something wrong? I'm old enough to figure it out! You don't have to tell me! Start acting like a real mother for once!"

Impa stared at me insurprise. "Sheik?"

"Just get the hell out of here!"

Zelda was already running. Impa looked from her to me.

I glared at her. "If you love me you'll leave. If you care anything about Zelda you'll go after her," I said coldly.

Impa stared at me a moment longer then turned and followed the princess. I was about to follow when I heard Link scream. I jumped and looked over at the other balconey. Ganondorf had the Hylain by the throat!

"Link!" I screamed.

The Hylain couldn't look at me. The King of Evil was choking the life out of him. I knew I had to act quickly. I reached into my cloak and pulled out the first thing my hand rested on. My harp. Without even realizing what I was doing I chucked it at his. The instrament hit him in the head. He grunted in pain and let Link go. The Hylian fell to the stone balconey, gasping for breath. Ganondorf ignored Link, instead he turned his attention on me.

"You!" he roared.

"Yes, me," I said.

"TRAITOR!" he yelled coming at me.

I dodged nimbly out of the way. "You're the one who betrayed me!" I screamed. "I did not come here to let you take over the world! I wanted revenge and that was all!"

Ganondorf came at me with the Master Sword. "And you gave the whole thing up to save a Hylian?!"

"Shut up!" I yelled, dodging sword blows. "I can do what I want!"

"Not if I kill you!"

He swung his sword at me. I jumped into the air. The sword got caught in the balconey railing.

As I jumped back I muttered a spell. "Romna en rei..."

Ganondorf looked up. He saw what I was doing. Before I could use my spell he used one on me. I screamed as I was hit with purple fire. I fell to the balconey.

He stood over me. "You shouldn't have ever betrayed me," he said.

I looked up over his shoulder. I saw Link has his bow aimed at the King of Evil. I began to mutter the spell again.

Ganondorf raised the Master Sword. "I'll get rid of you first!"

TWANG!

Before he could strike the final blow he was shot in the back with a light arrow. As he screamed in pain I screamed the spell. "MAY YOU FOREVER BE COVERED IN SHADOW!" I put up my hand. "DEMON'S GATE!"

Dark light surrounded the Gerudo. He roared in anger and glared at me hatefully. The shadows covered his entire body. He reached for me but his hand was covered too. Suddenly there was a bright flash of light. I was blinded for a moment and had to put up a hand.The light vanished almost as soon as it began. I put my hand down.

The King of Evil was gone.
