Chapter 34: delightful visit

Anna's pov*****

I've been stuck in this stupid bed for days. I would have survived if I had my phone and wifi but no, I was stuck in a world that was wifi less ;^;.

At least someone had the heart to give me something to do, cremia had gotten me pencils and a sketch pad so I managed. I drew a lot of things that had happened to me, like the creature, Thalia and Rhea, Zaida....

Worry and fear filled me. What if she was dead? No, maybe she is back home with hades and Gabe and Rosh.. She has to be there.. I sighed and continued to draw mindlessly. I tend to do that a lot, draw instinctively when I'm stressed. I heard a soft knock on the door and cremia walked in with bandages and a bowl of whatever the fuck she's been using on me but hurts like hell.

"New drawings?" She placed the bowl on the night stand and looked at me smirking, "I like the one you're working on, I've never seen him without his cowl. He is rather handsome if you ask me." She giggled.

I frowned, "what are you talking about?"

She laughed, "your drawing."

I frowned and looked at my current drawing and groaned. I had somehow drawn sheik without his cowl covering his face. "Out of all the things I could draw, it had to be him..."

Cremia laughed and began removing my bandages. "You seem to have healed up a lot, I'm guessing you should be able to get up and out of bed the day after tomorrow." I huffed, "another two days?! I won't make it!"

She laughed and held up my drawing, "oh don't worry, he will keep you company!" I snatched the drawing from her hand and glared at her while hiding it in the notebook. She laughed and continued to wrap new bandages on me. "So you said you were engaged, what does your fiancé look like?"

I smiled and began sketching a quick drawing of Jeremy, "he's got dark brown messy hair, blue eyes," I sighed adding the details. Cremia chuckled and watched me draw. "I'll be honest with you, this boy is good looking." I laughed, "I know." Cremia looked at me, "but you don't love him."

I stopped drawing and looked at her. " what do you mean I don't love him? Don't you see an engagement ring on my finger?" Cremia smirked, "one, no I don't see an engagement ring on your finger and two. You sound different when you talk about them."

I frowned and looked at my hand, noticing that I indeed didn't have my ring on. Crap... I've must have lost it during the fight in the temple... I then looked at cremia confused, "what do you mean I sound different? I'm pretty sure I sound the same." Cremia shook her head, "no you sound different, I don't know how to explains it. When ever you're talking about sheik there's like, a different tone of voice you use and then your eyes light up. Even when your mad and arguing with him. But just now when you were talking about Jeremy you sounded like you were talking about an old friend. Like he was nothing more than a friend. It's different."

I looked at her, "I do that?" She huffed, "yes! It's like, ugh!! I can't explain it!" I laughed, not the aww you're so funny laugh but the sarcastic barbosa from pirates of the carribean type of laugh. A soft knock cut me off before I could say anything and cremia called the person in.

I frowned.

Speaking of the devil...

"How are you feeling." He asked crossing his arms. I huffed, "great now can I please get out of bed??" Cremia glared, "you can't get up yet! You're still injured!" I saw sheik pick something up and I panicked instantly snatching my drawings from him. "HEY HANDS OFF MY DRAWINGS!" He held his hands up, "alright I'm sorry. I just wanted to see them." I laughed nervously, "there's nothing to see but stick figures I promise so ya nothing to see here!" Sheik rose an eyebrow but the looked at cremia, "I'm gonna have to go back to hyrule tonight. And Anna needs to come with me. I think she has caused the princess and her sister more worry than they need."

I smirked, "just them? I bet little Evelyn was celebrating my disappearance and doing little voodoo dances around her room with a makeshift me doll. That bitch." Sheik sighed,"Anna don't start this.." cremia nodded, "alright then. She can go back."

I first pumped the air. "Yes! When do we leave??" Sheik chuckled, "now. get your things. I'll get the horses ready-" cremia shook her head, "she can't ride a horse on her own yet! If she's going she goes with you on the same horse."

I frowned at her, " you're enjoying this aren't you..." She whispered, "maybe." And left along with sheik. I sighed and started gathering my stuff. Once done I met sheik down in the stables and saw that only his horse was saddled. I groaned inwardly. Cremia is getting an earful next time we're alone... "Can you get on on your own?" He asked taking my bag from me and placing it in one of the saddle bags. I reached over to try to get on but winced. "Nope..."

Damned injuries...now how am I going to get on the animal? Sheik hummed, thinking about something. He then clicked his tongue (or made some kind of noise) and the horse snorted and began to lie down. I looked at him with my mouth open, "how-"

"It's a trained sheikah horse. Can you get on now?"

I looked at the horse and sat sideways on the saddle, you know, how princesses with long dresses do. I would ride it normally but I'm still in too much pain to sit normally.

"Hold on and make sure not to fall alright?" I nodded and be clicked his tongue again and the horse got up. Sheik later got on the horse behind me and motioned the horse to start walking.

I groaned, "you ride a horse like my grandmother drives an old broken down Volkswagen buggy......" Sheik rolled his eyes at me, "if I make the horse go faster you will either fall or injure yourself more." I groaned, "this will take forever... At least make it counter..." Sheik chuckled, "fine, but it will go no faster than that."

After a while again sheik decided to break the silence, "how did you get injured?" I hummed and thought about it. "I was trying to stay alive..." This made him frown and he instantly bombarded me with questions. Or well... A question and a very angry face.. "What happened?"

I smiled nervously at him and played with my thumbs, "so I was sorta talking to some new friends, who by the way happened to be ghosts. Then this thing came in and attacked me." He frowned, "what attacked you?" I bit the inside of my cheek and huffed, "I don't know, it was bigger than me by like two feet, R dark red skin, whips in its hands and a creepy as laugh. I think it was called something like manara, malaria, mayonnaise-"

"Majora?"

I clapped my hands once and smiled, "yeah! That! I knew it started with a m!"

Sheik stayed quiet the rest of the time, until I decided to break the silence. I'm sorry I just really hate quiet journeys. "Hey sheik can I ask you a serious and very important question?like serious the fate of the world depends on what you answer so be serious about it." He nodded, "ask away."

I sighed. "Do you guys have bacon here?"

Sheik looked at me. And when I say looked at me I mean looked at me, like you know when someone says Chicago is a planet or when someone steals your fries off your plate? The "you did not just ask that" face. That's what I'm talking about.

I looked at him innocently in return making him chuckle. "Yes we do. I am guessing you want some?"

I groaned, "are you kidding me? I'm craving it like crazy! Thank the lord you guys have that here or else I would have died!" Sheik laughed. It took us about half of the day to get to the castle, the whole way there we talked about the little things like the time I had to go pick up hades to the time we went to nyx's party. 

I laughed, "you were pretty good at dancing that day. You're a quick leaner." He chuckled, "thanks, " then he muttered under his breath, "too bad I can't say the same about you." I glared at him and he smirked. Knowing damn well I heard him. "Well excuse me mr ninja for not being perfect! Yes I know I'm clumsy and weird and socially awkward and shy and-"

"Adorable."

"And adorable-wait what?" I looked at him and he smirked. "You sneaky jerk...." He laughed and then stopped his horse, "we're here." He got off the horse and then helped me off. Which let me tell you the minute I got off I was tackled by a certain blond.

"ANNA!"

I yelped and then groaned in pain. "Hey ther niks..." Nikki broke the hug and looked at me wide eyed, "Are you hurt?! What happened?! I told that bastard that if you came back with a single scratch I would have him murdered in-"

I laughed, "woah there kiddo, calm down I'm fine. Don't worry." She glared at him and then smiled at me making her doe like face. "Omg you will never guess who's here!" I rose an eyebrow, "who?" Nikki moved and tried to grab my arm to pull me but was quickly stopped by sheik. "She can't run unless you want her to get hurt. " Nikki glared, "well she wouldn't have gotten hurt if you would have kept a close eye on her!" Sheik stayed quiet.

I rolled my eyes, "leave him alone niks, it wasn't his fault. He doesn't have to baby sit me. Now who's here?" Nikki nodded and we both walked in the castle and into the throne room. There I saw a familiar red haired woman and a slim red haired man with a black and teal attire and teal like skin.

At the mere sight of the man I screamed...and ran straight to him ignoring my injuries.

"ZANT MY BABY!!!"
