Celeste's pov***

"So what do you think?"

I squealed.

No like legit squealed.

You have no fucking idea how happy I am.

"Oh my gosh dark it's gorgeous!! And it's mine?!" Dark chuckled and patted the side of the black horse. The animal was huge, it's mane and tail long and well kept. It's coat black like the night sky. Sheer beauty and strength emanated from the animal. And it's gait, standing like it owns the world and it's the master of the devil himself.

I fucking loved this horse.

"All yours Celeste. You still can't go anywhere alone but if you have at least a guard with you you're allowed to do as you please. As long as you don't leave the main desert lands."

I walked closer to the animal and began stroking it's mane. "He's gorgeous..." I stared at the animal in complete awe and dark chuckled. "It's still not completely tamed but-"

"I'll tame it."

Dark rose an eyebrow at me mockingly. "No, you won't. The animal is still dangerous. Ganon was going to have it killed. The thing was causing great trouble to the Warriors' horses and seeing as it was hard to tame this one he was going to kill it."

I chuckled and kept stroking and admiring the animal. "It would be a sin to kill such animal... And it's surprisingly well behaved for a wild animal." The horse snorted and bucked his head, almost hitting me in the face in the process hadn't dark pulled me out of the way in time. "I think your gift will have to wait until it's completely tame. I don't want it to kill you."

I smirked, "one day that's all I need.." I grabbed the saddle and began the hard and tedious process of saddling the animal. The horse began moving restlessly and angrily. Neighing and snorting angrily at me.

Dark pulled me away, "Celeste no."

I smiled, "you know it's safe and that I can tame it. If it wasn't true then you wouldn't have shown him to me in the first place." Dark smirked and let me go. "Once. That's all it takes, if you get hurt just one tiny scratch. One fall. And I'm letting them kill the animal." I smiled excitedly and nodded at him. Dark mounted his horse and then helped me on the black stallion.

"It's tense."

Dark nodded, "don't give it a reason to kill you."

I laughed and kicked my heels on the sides of the animal causing it to rear aggressively. "CELESTE!" I pulled on the reins and the horse sprinted around the pen angrily. Each movement aggressive and dominant. This is my kind of animal. Dangerous and proud, powerful in its way of moving. Five minutes. Five minutes that's all it took for the animal to tire itself. Dark had been breaking it earlier I can tell. There's no way an animal this magnificent could get tired in just five minutes. "Don't do that again!" Dark frowned at me and I smirked, "it was completely safe you wouldn't have let me get on if it wasn't borderline tamed yet." I urged the horse to walk forward and it did. I urged it to go faster and it didn't stop until it got to a full gallop around the enclosed pen. "Let it out!"

Dark looked at me, "you insane? It will go wild again! No get off that animal." I laughed, "it's your fault! Now open the pen let us out, I've got it controlled I promise!"

Dark looked unsure but a certain blond masked girl stopped him, "Celeste you better get your ass off that animal right now!" I rolled my eyes and brought the horse to a stop. "Celeste do you know how dangerous this is have you lost your mind?!" I groaned and dark looked aggravated, "relax Elizabeth it was perfectly safe."

Dark flinched and looked at Lizzy wide eyed. "Elizabeth?"

She groaned, "you bitch... I don't see what's the point in wearing this anymore since you're going to go around telling the whole damn world!" I snickered, "you're welcome!" Dark continued to stare at Elizabeth and she glared at him, "yes I'm alive yes it's me no you're not crazy and yes if you don't get my cousin off of that animal and get rid of it I will kill you personally." I frowned, "you can't get rid of him he's MY horse!" Elizabeth turned to dark, "you didn't?!"

Dark chuckled, "why not? It was perfect for her."

I smirked in triumph and Elizabeth growled in frustration. "Celeste you know it was extremely dangerous and reckless! Especially in the condition you're in!" Dark's brows furrowed together and he looked at me confused, "condition? Celeste are you injured? Sick? Why didn't you-"

I groaned, "I'm FINE. Liz here is just making a huge deal out of things!"

Trust me I wouldn't do anything that would risk my baby's life. I'm not that reckless.

I think...

Oh come on! You guys act like I'm one sociopathic mother!

Dark huffed and ran his hand through his hair. "Well it's not like we can do anything anymore, the animal already bonded with Celeste. If we take him away from her it would most likely have to be put down." I bent down and hugged the neck of my beloved horse, "you are not killing Rebel. He's my baby now." Dark rose an eyebrow, "rebel?"

Elizabeth face palmed, "I swear Celeste you'll be the death of me.." She then turned and left annoyed. I laughed and dark looked at me disapprovingly, "what did she mean by 'condition'?"

I hummed.

Oh you mean what she meant by that? Oh yes baby luv I would love to tell you, hey dark I'm pregnant with your baby and now both her and Seira are completely psycho and sssuuuuuper overprotective of me now since they want their little nephew slash niece to be born alive safe and sound. But hey! Guess what they don't want me to tell you. Why? Well because you're a moron that can't keep his priorities straight and right now you focusing on this fight should be your number one priority.

But sadly it's unfair for you to live everyday unknowing of this little secret... I bit my bottom lip and I felt him stroke my hand. "You kept quiet Celeste what's wrong?"

I looked down and smiled, "nothing, hey you promised me a ride! Get on your horse so we can go out!" He laughed, mounted his horse again and led us out of the pen into the open.

I laughed as the horse sprinted past the palace grounds and into the city. People ran and moved out of our way to avoid getting trampled under the weight of my magnificent horse. I saw dark pull his horse right next to mine and smirk at me, "race you to the cliff?"

I laughed, "Bring it!" Both of us raced with dark in the lead. He wasn't going easy on me and was determined to win this race. I smirked, "come on rebel show him your inner wild animal." I felt the horse snort and immediately after we gained the lead, leaving dark behind and reaching the cliff.

"If I hadn't known any better I would have said that animal was with you since it was a foal."

I smirked, "just look who it is! Miss diva back from the land of the disappeared fashionistas." Ghirahim rolled his eyes and jumped from the boulder he was standing on. "Now that I think about it were did you disappear off to?" Ghirahim stroked my horse's mane and smirked, "I was busy killing off a goddess serving dog. Sadly though she escaped to lick her wounds like a coward dog.." I frowned, "yeah sorry, California girl here but umm who are we talking about again?" Ghirahim rose an eyebrow but was cut off abruptly.

"Ghirahim!" Dark finally caught up and ghirahim smirked. "I seem to have interrupted something hmm?" I scoffed, "like what? A race that I happened to win?" Dark rolled his eyes, "you're riding a wild animal you had an unfair advantage."

"Bull shit. You're just a sore looser."

Ghirahim kept looking at me funny but said nothing to me. He then turned to dark and frowned in disgust, "You're filthy.. Have you no shame with Celeste?"

I bursted out laughing and dark glared, " don't you have things to report?" Ghirahim hummed, "I've managed to hit a nerve have I? Pathetic sky child look alike."

Ooo shit..

"Umm guys-"

Dark growled, "you have a problem with me you fem-"

"CAN WE NOT? Like seriously dark work on your insults and ghirahim lets ignore the fact that his twin is your enemy please?" Dark winced, "thanks love I knew I could count on you.." I smirked, "you're welcome!"

Dark huffed and turned to ghirahim grumbling angrily, "can I trust you with her? Ganon is bothering the shit out of me right now and I need to go see what he wants before I go insane. I swear I can never take a day off without him needing me to do something."

I laughed. "Ah responsibilities! I remember trying to avoid them! Good times." Dark sighed and gave me a quick peck on the lips before galloping away annoyed with Ganon. I looked to ghirahim and saw his disgusted face turn into that of amusement. "I take it he doesn't know does he?"

What?

"Doesn't know what?"

He looked at me funny, "are you alright?"

Um I mean I guess? "Yeah? Why wouldn't I- oh..."

He smirked, "you know I've heard stories about how you could tell when a woman is pregnant but I never knew them to be true."

I felt my mouth drop.

Who is this bitch?? Houdini?! "How-"

"You have a certain glimmer in your eyes. Relax I doubt dark would have noticed. That moron doesn't know pregnancy even if it hit him in the face with a spiked club."

*･゜ﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･'･*:.｡. .｡.:*･゜ﾟ･*

A smile etched itself on my face as I continued to watch the black haired girl and the demon. Now if only we could distract said demon for just a bit...

"Ghirahim please don't tell him.."

The pleading note in her voice sparked interest in me. What is her secret? I continued to merge with the shadows and watched closely.

The demon sighed, "I don't know the reason but if you wish it then fine. I will keep your pregnancy a secret just don't do reckless things like befriend monsters and ride wild animals will you please?"

I smirked.

So this was the third presence I felt.. She's with child.

The girl groaned, " alright I promise!"

I chuckled, "does this apply to me to Celeste?"
She turned to me, her horse prancing uncomfortably, horror clear in her face. The demon glared and positioned himself between the girl and me. "I suggest you leave this territory human you are not welcomed." He snapped his fingers and a black blade appeared out of thin air and pointed it at me. I chuckled.

This will be entertaining..

"I suggest you keep about your business demon I have things to discuss with the dear principessa here." Celeste's grip on the reins got tighter and she continued to watch me with those eyes I despise the most.

The demon scoffed, "I am guessing you are with Roxanne? In that case I'm going to have to kill you. It's annoying really. I am just fresh out of battle and I was hoping I could rest but I see there are some pests in need of assistance."

I smirked. He speaks of me as if I was any ordinary minion of my sisters. Let's have some fun shall we?

Celeste's pov***

Paralyzing fear coursed through my veins. I couldn't bring myself to move or speak. He knows...

He knows...

"Pity you see me with such hostility demon, I was simply walking about with my dear beauty." He smirked and stretched out a hand beside him. From the shadows a white haired girl wearing a short white summer dress emerged and took his hand. She turned to us and smiled, causing ghirahim to gape wide eyed.

"It's been a long time hasn't it ghirahim? Two, almost three years. I was hoping you wouldn't forget about me."

No.

No.

I shook my head. "Z-zaida?"

Arithen chuckled and wrapped his arm around my sister's waist, bringing her closer to him. "My dear it seems your own sister is disbelieving of your appearance? Perhaps we should show her a more natural appearance?" Arithen rose his other hand, a dagger materializing in his palm.

Ghirahim sneered, "don't you dare lay your filthy hands on her... Release her IMMEDIATELY!" My horse reared and neighed frightened and I struggled to control it.

Why the fuck is zaida with him?! Why is she all trusting and shit with him why-

"Illusions child..."

I froze. That presence. That voice in the back of my mind. It's the same one from my dream..

"This man is a master of the mind... Be weary of what you see child.."

I looked at zaida. An illusion. She's not real. "Ghirahim don't fall for it.." Arithen tsked and looked at me smirking. " zaida dear, let's show your lover a good time shall we?" The fake bitch smiled and turned to ghirahim, disappeared and appeared back in front of him slashing at his face with her newly stolen dagger. Ghirahim cried out in pain and shock unbelieving of what he saw.

My horse bucked frightened and sprinted taking me the opposite direction of the city and Arithen. My heart sped and my ears deafened.

I needed to run. I needed to flee.

"Jump the cliff child."

"How the fuck do you want me to jump the cliff are you suicidal?!"

The horse continued to sprint on the gravel, my hair slashing at my face as aftermath of the commotion.

"Speaking to ourselves Celeste?"

My horse came to an abrupt stop, causing me to fly right off of it and into the graveled ground. Pain shot up from my right side and arm. "You know it's not polite to leave a family reunion like that. You almost made me feel unwelcome!" Arithen grabbed a handful of my hair and pulled me upright in the most painful way possible. I released a strangled cry and he smirked. "You know I was expecting a letter or something. You know you can't just keep these things from your family. It's rude Celeste didn't your mother teach you manners?"

I whimpered. A sharp pain book free inside my mind.

Arithen scoffed, "why do you insist on looking at me like that?" He threw me and kicked me in the face. I felt a sharp and pounding pain and felt sticky wet liquid flow from my nose." Why does your body language show fear and horror but your eyes refuse to share the same emotion?! It's the same damn thing every time we meet! DO YOU NOT FEAR ME ENOUGH CELESTE?!"

I whimpered. I couldn't move, my back hurts from the shoves and hits I've received. I curled up on the gravel hiding my stomach from him.

Tears began forming in my eyes as I clutched my stomach.

Someone please...

Arithen growled at me, his dagger growing into a full length sword poked the skin of my left shoulder.

"Look at you. So pathetic, so vulnerable. Celeste for you to be barer of that warrior's soul I was expecting you to be much more difficult to kill but yet you are proving to be quite the disappointment.."

I opened my eyes weakly. I noticed that the area around us was a soft green meadow. Who knew a place like this was hidden In between the stones of a rocky desert cliff. I looked up at Arithen. His eyes, void of emotion focused on mine. He placed the tip of his sword just above my Lower left side. Close to my abdomen.

My voice came out raspy and in short breaths. "You don't have the heart...."

He smirked.

"Try me...."
