Hyrule's Fate
Chapter 8
"You will hand it over, if I have to take it from you!" Ganondorf demanded.
"You are going to have to kill me first. I would never hand this over to you" I tell him. "You are a monster. You killed my best friend and Zelda".
"Why yes, yes I did. And now with them out of the picture, I now have both pieces of the Triforce. Now all I need is you" he says in a deep voice to me. I was in a weakening stance. I had lost all of my strength in this battle between Ganondorf and I.
"So what is it going to be 'Hero'?" he asks me, emphasizing on the 'Hero'.
"Like I said Ganondorf, you would have to kill me first" I say with my chest heaving up and down. I was not built for this kind of movement.
He looks up at me through hates eyes. "Then so be it". I gasp as I feel something grab both of my arms. Stalfos. They were holding me back. Ganondorf steps towards me. He raises his sword and stabs me in the stomach. I scream out in agonizing pain.
"So be it Beth" he says.
I feel someone shaking me. I gasp and sit up. I shake my head. What a nightmare that was! I look beside me feeling a presence in the room. I scream. Ganondorf.
"What are you doing in here?! Get out!" I yell at him. I curl my legs up to my chest and wrap my arms around my chest. He just chuckles.
"Well, I was wondering if you were dead or not. You have been in that tub for about an hour" he says to me.
I furrow my brows in conferment. "You came up here to check on me?" I say not really getting the situation.
"Yes" he says flat out.
"How long have you been in here?" I ask him.
"About five minutes" he told me as a grin came across his face.
My eye widen in horror. Was he looking at me? I didn't ask because I was afraid of what his answer might be. He sits down on the side of the tub. I just stay still. He cups my chin in his hands. I wince at the pain.
"Your face is beaten pretty badly" he compliments.
"I wonder why" I say in a low voice.
"Well maybe because someone doesn't know how to hold their tongue" he replies. "Well I am going to have to do something about that, because I don't want anyone seeing your face like this. It isn't attractive" he tells me flat out.
You know all these years me having a crush on Ganondorf, he really is a dick.
"Who is going to see me?" I ask him. He gave a low chuckle. He didn't answer my question right then. "Lean back" he tells me.
I was a bit sketchy at first but I tasked. I lean back against the tub. Everything still covered.
"Beth" he says.
"Hm?"
"I really don't think there is any room for modesty now" he says still grinning.
"Well I feel safe like this" I say to him
"You don't feel safe around me?" he asks.
"No? Why would I? You practically beat me to death about an hour and half ago" I tell him.
"Alright Alright" he says. Who was this man? One minute he is a raging lunatic, and the next he is all caring and compassionate
"Lean your head back" he tells me. I lean my head back. I can feel both of his hands lingering above my face. I yell out as he places his fingers against my cheek and eye. I could feel him grab me around the neck again. My heart starts beating fast.
Ganondorf starts mumbling these words. I could feel the pain go away. Was he heeling me? I wondered. He removes his hands off of me. I open my eyes. I no longer felt the swelling and throbbing of pain. I could breathe without flinching.
"Why?" I ask him.
"I told you, I don't want anyone seeing your face the way it was" he tells me again.
"So you don't want anyone seeing the person you really are?" I say back quickly. I knew I had struck a nerve. I could tell it by the expression on his face.
"Alright time to get out" he says getting up from the side of the tub. I sit there for a moment waiting for him to get out.
"What are you waiting for?" he asks me.
"For you to leave" I say.
He gives a hearty laugh. "Darling, that's not going to happen"
I got to open my mouth "Don't say anything, get out" his tone becoming stronger. I crouch to my knees, so he doesn't see anything. I then stand up. He reaches out a hand.
"The tub gets slippery" he says.
"I don't need your help perv" I say hatefully to him.
I raise my legs and go to put it on the mat. Sure enough, the tub was slippery. I slipped. I could feel someone catch me. Everything happened so quickly. When it was all done, Ganondorf had his arms around me and my hands were on his shoulder. There was no covering up now.
"I tried to tell you" he said with a grin. I will say, if it he wouldn't have caught me, my head would have probably hit the side of the tub.
I didn't know what to do. I was stuck between a rock and a hard place.
"Do you have a towel?" I ask him.
"Nope". I gasp as I feel myself being picked up. He carried me into the bedroom. Was he going to rape me? My heart started beating fast again. Here I was naked in his arms and in his bedroom. He sits me down on the bed. I exposed to his eyes. He unpins his cape and drapes it around my shoulders. Was he trying to make up for the fact that he beat me?
He walks over to the window. He places one hand on his hip and one hand on the window. "Beth" he says looking out of his castle.
"Yes?" I answer.
"Give me the Triforce of Courage" he flat out demands. I was starstruck.
"N-No" I baffle.
He turns around to me. His eyes piercing through my soul. "Alright, well get dressed" he says.
"Get dressed?" I say to myself.
"There are clothes laid out behind out" he tells me.
"Where are we goi-" he cuts me off.
"Get dressed" he says in a strict tone. I listen. I get up with his cape still around me, and get dressed. It's so sickening that he watched me the whole time. After I get dressed, he reaches out his hand. I take it and we head out of the door. As we walk to wherever, I start to wonder. Was that it? Just tell him 'No' to the Triforce.
"What are you thinking about?" he asked me interrupting my thoughts.
"Nothing" I say.
"You were thinking about something" he says to me. What now I have to tell him what I am thinking? I roll my eyes. I soon hear voices. People talking. We turn the corner. It was a room full of people. People whispering and chatting. They made a clear walkway for us. Straight ahead was two tall throne chairs. I was unfamiliar with this room. It wasn't in the game.
My biggest thought was, what were we doing here? We walk up to the thrones. He guides me and I sit in the right one. He gives a little bow and sits beside me in the left one. The crowd gathers around.
"Greeting to you all" he begins. His voice boomed through the room. "I have brought you all here today for a fantastic ceremony" he says. I look around the room. Everyone was staring at me.
"Now as you all know, this is Beth. She tells me that she is not going to give me the Triforce of Courage".
My eyes widen in fear. What did he just say? Was everyone going to beat me? Why did they have to know?
"Bring her in" he yells. The crowd looks behind them. The guards brought in a woman. She had a sack over her head. She was stripped naked. I felt so sorry for whoever that was. The crowd makes a circle around them.
"You may release her" he booms.
The guards remove the sack. I gasp and stand up. My hand covering my mouth. This girl had been beaten. Bruises covered all of her. Cuts around her legs, ribs and back. Jordyn!
"Ganondorf is this outrageous!" I yell. He takes my hand and jerks me to sit down.
"Now Beth do you hand the Triforce of Courage over?" he asks me. I didn't know what to do. Jordyn and I have been friends since we were little. And now she is barely unrecognizable.
"Beth" Jordyn musters out.
I look up at her. "Don't do it" she says. I close my eyes and tears roll down my face as the guard hits her in her side. Jordyn falls to the floor.
"Ganondorf stop this!" I scream at him.
"You know what you have to do" he says with a grin on his face.
"Isn't there another way?" I plead.
"No" he says sternly.
I know he could see the hurt in my eyes, but he was so heartless. I rise up out of my seat. I take a step towards Jordyn. Ganondorf pulls me back. I struggle to get out of his grip.
"Do it!" he commands. Then it happened. It was so slow. It was almost as if someone slowed time. The guard removed her swords. She placed them in front of Jordyn's neck. The blades crossed, but never touched. As I fell to my knees, Jordyn's head was decapitated. The crowd cheered.
I scream in sorrow. Tears painted my face. I watched it as it rolled a few feet in front of her corpse. I felt Ganondorf grab me under my arm to pull me up. I turn around towards him.
"You bastard!" I scream pushing him away from him. He maintained that smirk on his face. I had no idea what I was thinking, but my hand collided with his face. His smirk being slapped off.
"How could you!" I continue.
"There is more where that came from if you don't corporate" he tells me. I could barely talk. I was in so much pain. He grabbed me under my arm again and led me out of the throne room. We walked pass Jordyns body. We walked pass the crowd. I cried the whole way out. My legs became weak and fragile. I collapsed to the ground. I was too weak for anything. I felt him pick me up and carry me. This was the last person I wanted to see, but I was too weak.
The throne room became smaller and smaller, while he headed to his chambers.
A/N: whoa! Okay so Jordyn is dead! All because she wouldn't hand over the Triforce! Do you think Ganondorf would do the same thing to Zelda or Beth? Well you will have to stay tuned for more! Anyway thanks to the viewers and the reviewers! Let me know what you think!
