Sorry for the long update, I've been having a lot of projects lately and they are all due very soon. So, to make up for it, I made an extra long chapter for you guys. Enjoy!

Link walked Violet into the castle and he motioned for her to sit in a large cushioned chair. Link pulled a small stool over towards her and sat on it. He looked at her and gave her a warm smile. "It's alright, there's no reason for you to be afraid of me." He said as Violet lowered her gaze. "Where are you from, young lady?"

"Termina." She replied.

"My name is Link. What is yours?"

"Violet," she replied, "I want my dad."

Link wanted to confirm his suspicions about her father, so he said, "If you tell me what he looks like, then maybe I can find him."

"Really?" She asked as she looked up at him with hopeful eyes.

"Yes." He nodded.

"He's tall and he has hair like me." Violet replied, "And his skin is a funny color."

Just as he thought. She is the sorcerer's daughter, He thought.

"How old are you?" She asked.

Link was a little surprised at her questioned, but he smiled and answered it anyway. "28 and how old are you?"

"I am 11. Geez! You're really old!" She replied in astonishment. All Link could do was laugh. "I suppose I am." He answered, "Violet, I need you to wait here for a moment while I check on something." Violet nodded her head as Link got up and walked out of the room. He walked outside and into the garden where he spotted Zelda. She greeted him with a warm smile.

"What's wrong?" she asked, "Aren't you happy to be home?"

"I am, but…"

"But what?" she asked as Link took her hand and led her into the room where Violet was waiting. Zelda's face went pale and she felt sick inside. Link saw this and explained to her how she ended up in Hyrule.

"Who are you?" Violet asked the princess. Zelda tried to reply, but no words would come out. So, Link replied, "This is Zelda."

Violet smiled and said. "She's pretty and she looks just like a princess!"

"T-thank you…" Zelda finally managed. Well, she thought, I guess Vaati never told her about me yet.

"I am hungry." Violet said, breaking the silence. Link smiled and took her hand. Zelda followed them across the castle and into the dining room. Link motioned for her to sit down as he walked into the kitchen. Zelda sat down next to her and she couldn't help but stare. Violet looked up at her as if to say 'what are you staring at?'.

"So…" Zelda began, "What is your father like?"

"He's awesome!" She exclaimed rather excitedly, "He reads to me and he shows me some really cool stuff!"

Zelda couldn't believe that Vaati could ever take care of a child, so she asked, "So, what does he show you?"

"Nothing!" She replied rather quickly. Before Zelda could probe any farther, Link walked in with a tray full of fruit and milk.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ezlooooooooo!" Vaati screamed as he burst through the door.

"What in blazes!?!" The old Minish practically jumped out of his chair in fright from being taken from his nap. "Vaati, what's the matter with you?"

"She's gone," Vaati stopped to catch his breath from running and choking back tears, "Violet is gone!"

"Gone…but how…Wha-"

"There is no time, I need the location spell immediately!"

Ezlo ran over to the bookcase and began to pull books off of the shelf until he found the right one. Vaati took the book from him and quickly turned the pages until he came across the right spell. He began to chant the spell while Ezlo scribed for Violet to make the spell go faster. The crystal that Ezlo was using began to spin rapidly and it fell to the map with a loud Clunk. Vaati's eyes almost popped out of his head. "Hyrule Castle!" They exclaimed.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Wow," Link exclaimed, "You must have been hungry!" Violet looked up at him and smiled. She tried to stop a yawn from escaping, but they noticed it.

"I think we should show you to your room." Zelda said as she stood up. Link got up as well and they all walked up the stairs and through the hallways until they came to the bedroom wing. Link opened up the door to the guest room and motioned for them to enter. The room was well decorated. A blue area carpet filled the floor and a large canopy bed stood against the far wall with a window above it that overlooked the field. Violet stared in awe and slowly walked over to the bed where she began to jump on it.

"Hey! This is so cool!" She exclaimed.

"I am glad that you like it." Link said as a smile formed on his face, "Make yourself at home until we find your dad. Then —"

"LINK!" Zelda exclaimed. Link and Violet turned around to face her with a stunned look. "We need to talk." She said as she walked out the door and motioned for him to follow her. Link smiled at Violet and walked out of the room closing the door. Violet got off of the bed and walked over to the door. She pressed her ear up to the door to try and hear their conversation.

"We can't keep her here! It's too dangerous!" Zelda shouted.

"Why not? Do you suggest that we give her back to that evil cretin?" Link replied.

"No! Of course not!"

"Then, where will she go? Back to the orphanage?"

"No...I mean...Hell, I don't know!" said Zelda and she let out a tired sigh, "I...I need to think."

Before Link could protest, Zelda ran down the hallway and out of sight. Link let out a frustrated groan and walked off in the other direction. Inside the room, Violet removed herself from the door with tear-filled eyes. They are never going to help me find my father, she thought, which means that I have to find him myself. She ran over to the dresser and grabbed her cloak. Then, she ran over to the closet and pulled down some blankets. She rummaged through the bottom of the closet and found a knapsack. She put the blankets inside of it and opened her door. She looked around cautiously and ran towards the kitchen and looking around every corner for any signs of life. When she made it into the kitchen, she grabbed some bread and some jam. She found a canteen and filled it with clean water the barrel. When she opened another cabinet, she found a medium bar-like thing that was labeled 'chocolate'. She didn't know what it was, but she took it anyway. When she was done, she ran through the hallways and out of the entrance to the castle. The guards saw her, but they never tried to stop her. Violet ran through the market, trying to avoid the glances of the townsfolk. When she made it towards the middle of the field, she sat down with a triumphant look on her face and took a drink of her water. The sun began to set and the field was beginning to get dark. Violet stood up and walked slowly towards the forest. She thought that she had heard footsteps behind her, but when she turned around, no one was there. She shrugged her shoulders and continued walking. This time, she heard a digging sound behind her and she turned around just in time to witness Stalfos emerge from the ground. When she turned to run, she noticed that she was surrounded. She let out a cry for help, but it was obvious that no one could hear her in the middle of a field. She closed her eyes and thought about what she was going to do. She held out her hand and a fireball appeared. She threw it at the oncoming Stalfos and it fell down with a loud groan. She produced another fireball and threw it at another Stalfos to her right and it fell, but they began to stand back up slowly. Violet waved her hand and the same Stalfos went flying backwards into a tree. One of the Stalfos came up behind her and grabbed her. She tried to fight back with her powers, but the thing had its bony arm around her arms. Before it could squeeze the life out of her, it let her go with a shriek of pain. It fell to the ground in a heap of dust. The others began to disassemble, but a shadowy figure appeared behind them and slashed them to pieces. Violet stared on in shock as the shadow creature walked towards her. As it did, its features began to appear. It was a boy, about her age, and he wore a black tunic with a black hat. He had raven-colored hair, red eyes, and pale skin. He looked exactly like Link, except this person was much younger and looked way to different.

"H-h-hello." He said.

Violet just stared at him with wide eyes. He held out his hand for her to take it. When she didn't respond, he urged his hand further towards her. She got the idea that he meant to no harm and took his hand. He pulled her up and they examined each other. Violet kind of blushed a little when she spoke. "W-w-who are you?" She asked, still shaken from the attack.

He cocked his head to one side and replied, "Well…my father calls me Shadow or Dark." He stopped to think for a second and then continued, "Call me Dark."

"Dark…I like that name." Violet smiled. Dark blushed a little at the compliment. "It's getting late and I am sure that my father won't mind if you come home with me." He walked away from Violet and she followed him. He stopped and said "I know you have powers too. One of the many gifts of being shadow born is having really cool abilities." He smiled and grabbed her hand. "I just learned how to teleport, but I am not very good at it. I landed on father's dining table once." Before violet could react, she felt like she was being swallowed by shadows. Her vision went dark, but soon enough, her sight had returned and Dark and her were standing in the middle of a throne room. "Ah, Dark," said a cool voice, "It seems you've brought a visitor." They turned around and looked towards the sound of the voice. A very tall, muscular man emerged from the shadows. He was wearing black armor and boots that had spikes protruding from the sides. He was wearing a dark, flowing cape and he had fiery red hair and dark, olive colored skin. He walked forward towards the children. As he walked, his eyes stayed locked on the strange looking girl in front of him. Violet took a step back. The man smiled and said "Now, now, child, there is no reason to fear me for my wardrobe. Now, what is your name?"

Violet stared at the man with wide, frightened eyes. The man kneeled down as close as he could to her level and repeated, "I said, what is your name, child?"

"V-Violet, sir." The man put a large hand on her shoulder. When he did, a symbol on his hand began to glow. "My triforce! It's glowing!" The man bellowed in shock. He stared down at the girl and his attention was brought to her right hand. There, the symbol of the triforce rested on her hand with the middle shining the brightest with almost a white light. Dark stared in shock. "F-father…Violet?" The man let out laughter of triumph, lifted the girl into the air, and tossed her up and down. Violet found his actions rather frightening and fun at the same time.

"At long last, the final piece of the triforce has revealed itself!" He set her down and she ran over to Dark, a look of surprise and concern was written all over his face. He stood a little bit in front of her, as if to protect his newly found friend from his overly excited 'father'. "Dark," he said, in almost a loving tone, "Find your friend a room, she may be staying for a while." Dark took hold of Violet's hand and teleported her out of the room. The man walked back to his throne and sat down. At long last, he said to himself, The gods have finally sent the fourth triforce to Hyrule, I didn't expect a child to be the bearer. She reminds me of someone…though I do not know who. The man looked up towards the sky and smiled. "But who cares where that brat is from. Finally, I, Ganondorf, will have that which I desire." Ganondorf let out a loud, evil laugh that seemed to resonate throughout his castle.

So…R&R please. How was it? What do you think will happen now that Ganondorf has Violet? Stay tuned!
