I wake up in the morning and quickly leave to the tavern. After explaining what happened to a guard I was able to leave. Everyone was worried about what happened to me when I disappeared but after seeing that I was fine they left me alone. Dark although thought that it was a close call. Saying that if I died he would go down with me and he wanted to die by something he did not because I couldn't lock a door. So he did the same thing he did with me and got a job here with me. Although this just makes me stuck with him day after day so I'm not very thrilled about it.
During the day I'm cleaning the counter and I see the door open to reveal a group of castle guards and Ganondorf. They take a seat and Dark walks up to me.
"What?" I ask Dark and he looks at me.
"Go get their orders," He tells me and I look at him annoyed.
"Why can't you do it?"
"I'll take your shift tonight." He offers and I walk over to their table. I get to have more sleep tonight~! I smile to myself as I get to their table. They order and I leave to get their food. I come back a few minutes later with their food and as I walk away a guard slips me a note. I pretend not to notice because if they are willing to talk to me then they trust me, making my goal all the more closer. I head back to Dark and look at the note from under the table. Dark goes to serve other guests while I read the note.
We found the area in the sewer where it look like people were but no one was there when we got there. Do you remember their faces?
Couldn't they just wait and ask me this later at night when no one was here? Oh well if they did then I wouldn't get to sleep early. I remember the one guy that was in front of me... I take a piece of paper and draw his face to the best of my ability and head over to their table.
"Would any of you like anything else?" I ask and I see them shake their heads. I hand them the bill with the drawing under it. I walk to the kitchen and start making more food for customers. I hum to myself and I don't hear when one of the waitresses is calling my name.
"Link! Are you listening?!" She yells at me and I look at her.
"Yeah?"
"That one group is asking for you!" I turn and see their attention on me. I walk over to them and wipe the flour from my hands on my apron. One of the guards hands me the bill and I smile as they leave. I look outside and see that it is almost dark so everyone will be leaving in a few minutes. I wait as everyone leaves and lock the front door. John is on a trip so he hasn't been coming at night so I can close early. The garbage is full so I grab the bag and drag it outside, and toss it into the dumpster in the back. I was about to go inside when I hear steps behind me.
I turn and see Ganondorf in a cloak leaning against a wall. I smile at him but he doesn't look happy.
"Need something? You can come in if you want a drink-" I start but he cuts me off.
"That one girl called you Link?" He asks and I nod, backing closer to the door. He steps closer and I put my back to the door, with my hand on the handle. "The hero is the only person I ever met that had that name." He knows, and he isn't happy about it. don't answer as I open the door and lock it behind me. I hear him hit the door and I back away from it. I thought that I was safe but I hear a crack and I know that he will break the door open. I run up to my room and grab my coin purse and a dress before jumping out the window. When I hit the ground I run for it.
I break open the door that Link locked me behind and see her nowhere in sight. I growl at this and walk through the tavern to the rooms they have upstairs. I see one that's open and head inside. I see the window open and can put together than she ran. I sigh and look around. The room is fairly plain, but something shining catches my eye. I walk over to the dresser and see a mirror on it. I pick it up and recognize it as the magic mirror. So she tried to go back? I wonder why she didn't... It looks like it would and I try to use it but nothing happens. Now thinking, I dragged her into this time while she was using it so she is still in it or something. I don't think one from here would let her into it.
I walk outside and see that the guards I left waiting are not there. I look up and see that Link's window is right in their view. They must have saw her and chased her. I wait for them to come back but after an hour I realize that they are still trying to find her so I go back to the castle. I can't believe that I didn't see it before! Now that I think about it, it wasn't that hard to see the similarities that were there. She being the only person brave enough to come to the castle, only one to talk back when someone else would cower away. Walking into the castle like she owned it in the middle of the night. Everything screamed hero but I never listened.
Also I think that her walking through the castle with ease was also a sign but I didn't read it. As I listen to my rant in my head I get to my room. I look at the place where I put all of Link's things and see everything gone. I don't think that she could have taken the things because she wouldn't be able to get past the guards... Unless she said she had a delivery. Although I saw her cart there when I left so i don't think that she could have dragged in up here and not get caught by the soldiers that are after her. I run to the window and see a shadow running off with the supplies, he looks up and smirks before disappearing.
-TIME SKIP-
A lot of the servants refuse to get near me because for the past few days I've be very irritable. Of course this scares away most people and this just makes me more angry because I know Link wouldn't have cared. The other thing that made my mood worse was the new guy they have delivering the supplies from the tavern. A boy with black hair and strange red eyes. His skin has a ashy tone to it which makes him look... fake. I walk up to him as he drags the cart through the garden.
"So Link isn't at the tavern anymore?" I ask him and he nods. With a closer look he looks a lot like Link but I know the hero was an only child so a sibling wouldn't be a thing. "Are you related?"
"Nope," Was his simple answer but it seams fishy.
"You look very alike," I said and he didn't seem to care.
"We lived in the same area for a while so might be the reason. But everyone says that," He says like it's a normal thing and walks with his now empty cart away. As he walks away the guards that chased after Link come up to me.
"What happened!?" I ask and see them covered in blood, cuts and leaves.
"She started calling for some person named Dark, and he appeared from nowhere!" One starts.
"Then he disappears and comes back with the master sword and other items in hand," Two finishes.
"We tried to chase her and she went into the woods, but the she came up behind us and attacked. After we were both to injured to follow she ran off," They both say with a bow. I can't believe that she has a shadow being on her side! At least I don't have deal with Zelda because I made her too weak to fight back and took her triforce. I tell the guards to get cleaned up and get Ebony ready for a ride. I get my armor and weapons and head out for where the guards said they saw Link last.
I wake up and my side is killing me. I look and see that I have a huge gash on my side, that I didn't see last night because of the panic I had. I call Dark but he doesn't come. I think I might be too far for him to hear me... I grab my side as I walk to a spring I saw last night. The pain is unbearable because the water is pretty hot, and putting that on a fairly bad wound doesn't make it feel any better. After I get used to the temperature I sink into the water to clean all the smaller cut I have on my face, arms and legs that I got from running into the woods.
I look at the water and see that I gave the water a red tinge and I get worried. Did I loose that much blood? I get out of the water and put on the extra dress I brought with while I fix the other one. I don't care about the small rips but I stitch the gash that was in the side. I don't want to put on the tunic on until I'm sure that my cover is completely blown because I don't want to deal with those rebels either. I have no idea how I'm going to get Ganondorf to reverse the spell now...
"I could go to another country... Nah, that would require a lot more work then just moving..." I say to my self and I don't hear the hoofs coming closer until someone gets off said horse. I look up and grab the master sword as the rebel comes closer.
