Chapter 62: interrogation
"She escaped?"
The lizard creature shook in utter fear as Roxanne's blazing red eyes watched it carefully, uninterested in anything it had to say. "Y-yes milady.." Roxanne didn't move a muscle. The tapping of her nails on the chair's arm in the dead quiet room was enough to make any creature cower in utter fear.
Tap...
Tap...
Tap....
Suddenly with no warning at all the tapping stopped. Causing it to gulp and expect the worst. However it seemed Roxanne had no interest in torturing it today. "Leave." It didn't have to be told twice, as soon as that word left her mouth the lizalfos left scurrying away.
"Agrona!"
From the shadows another woman appeared, tanned, almost gray of skin with evident signs of torture, dressed in complete black with a mask of red sequins and bones resting over her face keeping her identity hidden from the world, and her hair a dull rough black that resembled death itself. Once in front of Roxanne she kneeled, any emotion or thought wiped clean from her. "Yes milady?"
"Prepare everything. The festival is in one week.. I want you to attack then." She made a small pause, only for her to walk up to the other woman and grab her chin forcing her to face Roxanne. She glared at Agrona and dug her nails into her cheeks, "fail me, and I will have those chains back on you for all eternity and you will suffer the worst and slowest death possible. I leave you in charge. I have things to do on earth.." Having said that Roxanne released her and left the room. She had been noticing her dear twin has been missing a lot lately. Where could he be going she could care less. She was only focused on her main task. She had heard that the seal placed on erebos by the two original queens of esmera could be broken, bringing him instantly back into the realm he was summoned.
All she needed were answers..
And where else could you get the knowledge you wanted if not the one book that held every knowing possible, every law, spell, and secret.
The book created by her own father along with Orpheus and Neferret when he was still the leader of the ancients.
The oracle.

Anna's pov***
"Rosh grow up will you?" I glared at my cousin who kept trying to place a dead spider on my head. Had sheik not been holding my hand right now I would have killed Rosh by now. "Awwww is little Annie mad? Did little Annie have a bad nightmare last night? Or is little Annie on that time-"
"If you don't shut up Rosh, little Annie's ninja will strangle you. I have a mad migraine and you're making it worse.." Rosh smirked at sheik, and just continued walking down the shadow temple's pathways in front of us. I chuckled, "how's the hangover luv?"
"Couldn't you have chosen another day to go back to the castle..."
Awww how cute, my baby has a hangover. Oh but who fucking told you to go and drink ambrosia with that idiot over there? I told you Rosh was a bad influence but you just never listen to me! "Don't worry once we're back you can sleep all day. I'll even let you have the left side of the bed today." He looked at me, amusement clear in his eyes, "why? So you can roll on me and squish me to death? I'll be ok on the right side."
"It won't make any difference, I'm still squishing you. And you can't say shit because I am a 129 pound 5 ft 3 woman while you're a, i don't know, 170? 180? Pounds of pure muscle and you're taller than me by three inches." I kept walking, trying to ignore the horrible sight of torture rooms and cells. Sheik only chuckled and we continued walking until we were finally out of the infernal temple.
"It's about time child."
I smiled seeing my red oversized lizard waiting for me, hidden in one of the nearby caves (that apparently he seemed to have made and camouflaged with bushes). "AARON! I MISSED YOU!!" Sheik hissed, grabbing his head in pain and I flinched, "oopsies... Sorry, I won't yell again." He only glared at me and I smiled, running towards the red dragon.
"I see you have brought another flea with you." He said looking at Rosh, who frowned in response, "Was that a two way joke?!" Aaron chuckled, "maybe," he then turned to me and nuzzled me, "you seem different.. Are you alright?" What is it with people asking me that? Amethyst asked me that, Rosh asked me that (not without smirking of course) and so did my dad. Like dude chill I'm perfectly fine. Insanely happy, but fine.
Geeez you're acting like its a sin.
"Yeah I'm fine, now take us back to hyrule castle, sheik here has a hangover that's driving him mad."
Aaron nodded and allowed all three of us to ride his back. The flight back to the castle wasn't as long like it would have been on horse. It actually took two hours at most. The whole time though sheik would argue with Aaron about how it wasn't polite to roar at the top of your lungs continuously, even when told to stop, when you have an extremely hungover person aboard.
Poor thing..
Nikki's pov***
I groaned and opened my eyes slowly, the worried faces of both link and Aryll being the first thing I saw. "What happened?" I tried getting up but link pushed me back down shaking his head, "lie down for a bit, then you can sit up. How are you feeling?" Worry overtook him as he checked me all over again. To be honest I felt drained, as if all my energy was sucked out completely. "Just tired that's all." He nodded at me and kissed my forehead. Aryll cleared her throat and I looked over at her, "so you are in trouble and you decide to pass out the moment my brother comes to the rescue? Nikki you missed it! He was awesome and you missed it!" I smiled and snuggled closer to link on the bed, "awwww my hero, but seriously what happened?" Link sighed and held my hand, intertwining his fingers with mine, "when I came in you were falling and the plant was already withering at a really fast rate. All I really did was catch you." I frowned, withering? How does a fully mature plant grow in seconds only to wither at the end of what? Five minutes?
Aryll hummed thinking about something, " actually it started withering after nikki yelled out something."
What the fuck? I didn't say anything. Don't pin the blame on me!
Link frowned but said nothing. At that time a guard came in the room without knocking, making me jump and cling on to link. I relaxed as soon as I saw it was a guard, but link however wasn't too happy a guard just barged into my room without knocking.
"How rude of you to just walk into a lady's room like that! She could have been indecent and you would have just barged right in like it was your own room!" The guard stopped, ashamed and bowed, "I-I'm sorry general! P-princess zelda has summoned you to the throne room, she told me to give you the news that we had unwanted guests in from the gerudo desert. She summons lady Nichole as well.. Oh how shameful I apologize sir, milady, lady Aryll." The guard kept bowing as he apologized over and over. Link frowned but before he could say anything I shrugged and cut him off, "it's ok don't worry about it." The guard excused himself, while being ushered by link out while Aryll helped me into a new outfit for the day.
I really miss my sweatpants to be honest..
Once done we left to the throne room, where three very familiar people were waiting along with zelda, midna, zant, and link. I felt a smile plaster itself on my face as I recognized who the people were. "TWIN! GANON!"
Celeste smiled, "TWIN! I missed you hoe what have you been doing?" I chuckled, yup that's my twin alright... "Oh you know the usual, by the way is it me or are you-"
"Say anything about me looking chubby and I will strangle you in your sleep..."
Never mind..
"What are you talking about I was about to ask if you are looking sexy or what? What's up with the dress though? It makes you look pregnant." Ganon and the masked blond woman next to him stifled a laugh. I only looked at them and back at Celeste. What is this bitch not telling me??
Wait..
Celeste is wearing a loose dress.. And from what I've learned from Anna there's no way silk makes people look pregnant..
No..
Oh.
Oh lord no..
No..
"Celeste you didn't..."
Celeste only smiled and shrugged, "surprise bitch. I'm expecting twins too! Isn't it awesome!" I stared and I felt my jaw drop. Link came up behind me and warped his arm around my waist to keep me from fainting. "Celeste Anna is going to kill you." She just scratched the back of her head nervously and laughed, "yeah I know.."
Zelda cleared her throat, bringing the attention back to herself. Though the whole time I could not stop staring at my sisters belly.. Oh my gosh.. She's so going to die...
I'm happy I'm going to have nephews or nieces, but Anna will maul her ass.. And darks too...
"What is the reason for your visit? Here to agree to another treaty only to break it again? Like the traitor you are ganondorf?" Zelda glared and the tension immediately spiked.
Awe shit.. Can we not do this please??
Ganon however kept calm and looked straight at her, "I am not here to insult you nor to cause you any trouble as you may think. As a matter of fact I am here to invite all of you to my wedding that will be held in four days."
Woah wait what?! BITCH WHAT HAPPENED TO ELIZABETH DID YOU FORGET ABOUT HER SO FAST?! Like excuse me I thought you loved her!! And now you're- I gasped.
The woman next to him.
She's the hoe..
HOW CAN CELESTE BE SO HAPPY ABOUT THIS?! IS IT THE HORMONES?! Am I overreacting?? I mean yeah congrats and all but WHOS THIS BITCH THATS TAKING LIZZYS PLACE?!
Midna just stared at him, "is that so? Who's the unfortunate woman?" Zant frowned, "midna that isn't nice." She just narrowed her eyes at him with a "bitch really?" Face and ignored him. The woman with the mask smiled, "I'm afraid that would be me. I really hope I can see you there. I doubt you would want to miss it." Celeste smirked, "don't worry girl, they won't miss it." Zelda frowned at my sister and crossed her arms, "and why do tell, do you think that?" The woman with the mask sighed and somewhat glared at Celeste. She moved her hand and removed the mask that had kept her face hidden from us.
And oh my gosh you would not believe me when I said all hell broke loose.
Elizabeth stood there smiling defiantly at Zelda while everyone gaped and kept throwing confused questions at her. "You wouldn't hurt me like that right z? Not after all the things we've been through back then?"
Well fuck...
HOW MANY MORE SURPRISES ARE THERE?!
Anna's pov****
I sighed as we continued through the dungeon corridors. We had found a place big enough to fit Aaron and keep him hidden for a long while but the spoiled dragon wouldn't stop whining..
"I still think it's ridiculous I have to do this..."
I rolled my eyes at him and we continued to walk up into the castle until we finally entered the main floor of the castle. I was feeling exited to see nikki again, I had a lot of things to tell her but sheiky here wanted to go sleep before making his presence known. I don't blame him though, Zelda would probably give him another task as soon as she saw him, not caring if he's tired of not.
"You two walk slower than my dead grandmother." Rosh was a few feet away from us, looking back with his hands on his hips. "Just keep going straight and you'll get to the throne room." Rosh nodded at sheik and sped off like a two year old who was exited to go to the toy store, leaving me and sheik behind. Sheik then pulled me to the side and made us change direction away from where Rosh went.
I frowned while looking towards the direction we were supposed to go, "hey aren't we supposed to go that way? Or are you just too hung over to think?" He let out a small chuckle and sighed, " there's another passage that's closer to our room. I just want to sleep before anyone sees me."
Ooohhhh
I made an oh face and continued walking down with him. Once we were out of the secret passage ways and into the actual castle, I let sheik sneak back into our room while I headed towards Nikki's room. There's soooo much I need to tell her about.
Nikki's pov***
"Ok so let me get this straight. That bitch gave you're new sister in law-"
"I'm not married to link but yeah go on.."
Celeste narrowed her eyes at me and then continued, "she gave your new sister in law a plant that tried to kill you??" I shrugged, "pretty much, yep." Celeste frowned and continued to shuffle the cards she had stolen from dark. "Remind me to kill her next time I see her..." I nodded and heard a soft knock at my door.
"Come in!"
I saw Anna's head pop in through the door and I smiled, "look who's back from the dead! I thought k wouldn't see you ever again!" Anna rolled her eyes at me and sat next to Celeste and me on the bed, crossing her legs under her. "Where have you been?" Anna looked at Celeste, her eyes lingering on celestes belly more than they should have.
Oh shit
Oh shit oh shit...
"I was somewhere... Celeste what's up with that?" She asked tilting her head sideways and pointing at her belly. Celeste and I stared at each other for a bit, then she looked back at Anna, "I was really hungry and it's a food baby I swear..." Anna narrowed her eyes and then sighed, "well then you better watch what you eat cel, for a minute I thought you were pregnant." Celeste laughed nervously and stared at her cards, "me? Pregnant? And take care of a kid? No thanks not me."
Celeste I don't know how you're pulling this off but it seems to be working.
I smirked at Anna as we started playing poker, and before I could ask her what happened I saw something that looked almost like a bruise on her neck, barely being covered by the turtleneck of her dark red dress.
Is that what I think it is?
"Nikki you are creepy as fuck when you're staring." Celestes comment brought me back from staring at the mark on Anna's neck and I couldn't keep myself from spilling the beans. Yes I am nosey as fuck. Leave me be. "So what happened during your trip hmm??" Anna just looked at me weirdly, her cheeks turning a slight pink while she constantly side glanced to the door. I looked at Celeste and she smirked getting the hint. She got up, locked the door and then crossed her arms, an evil grin on her face. "Nothing happened.. You guys are just imagining things.."
"BULL TO THE SHIT!"
Anna glared at Celeste and I laughed, "tell us everything!!" Anna groaned and just made herself comfortable with one of my pillows. "Nosey much?"
"Yes. Very. Now spill woman!!" Celeste sat back on her spot and we both looked at Anna like children ready for a bed time story and she smiled a bit embarrassed. "So me and sheik are officially together. Like as a couple." I squealed like an exited kid while Celeste kept saying things like "it's about damn time!"
"That explains your neck!"
Anna froze, her eyes going wide as her hands flew to her neck. "I don't know what you're talking about.." Celeste grinned, "is what I hear true?? Do my ears and eyes deceive me??" Anna shook her head, her face turning a bright red, "it's a bruise! I was training and sheik landed a hit and-"
"Bitch that's a hickey."
Oh Celeste, you're so forward and bold sometimes. I stifled a laugh while Anna's face went blood red, "why do you have to say it out loud though..." I KNEW IT!! I FUCKING KNEW IT! I squealed again, "let me see it!" Anna just looked at me, regret clear in her face. I think she regrets coming to talk to me. "Nikki you're such a creep..."
I scoffed, "just pull down the turtleneck! I wanna see!" Celeste laughed at Anna while she begrudgingly pulled down her turtleneck. I felt my eyes widen when I saw not one, but four hickeys on her neck,Two on each side. Celeste smirked, "yeah, sheik landed a hit alright. Anna you slut." She laughed while I scoffed and muttered, "oh listen! The pot calling the kettle black." Celeste narrowed her eyes at me, Anna just fixed her turtle neck again and let out a huff, "it's not being a slut if he's my husband."
Celeste closed her mouth, in a sorta touché face and just laid down keeping her hand on her belly. "So you two got married and didn't even invite me? What's up with that? I feel betrayed sis!" Anna rolled her eyes and began playing with her hair, "believe me, I wasn't invited to my own wedding either. Nikki set us up, and the deal was we had to stay married for a month, shit happened, we got close, he got drunk, and voila! I'm here with this."
Wait sheik got drunk?? What the fuck? Is he even different when he's drunk? He's so calm and shit I can't imagine him flat out drunk saying "hey sexy." To lampposts.. I can see dark doing that, but not sheik..
Damn I wanna see him drunk now...
Would it be funny? I wonder how link acts when he's drunk. Would he cheat on me if he was drunk? Wait does link even drink? He looks so sweet and innocent I can't imagine him drunk..
"NIKKI!"
I jumped into reality again and saw both of my sisters looking at me weirdly. "Sis you have got to stop with the staring.. It makes me think you're planning something." Anna said, trying to change the topic. "I'm not don't worry! Now questions! What happened with Jeremy and how far?"
Anna rolled her eyes, "Jeremy is going to have to fuck off because he and I aren't happening anymore." I screamed happily and let myself fall backwards on the bed, "FUCKING YES ITS ABOUT DAMN TIME!! When am I getting my first ninja baby? Anna I want my ninja babies."
"As soon as I get my beautiful babies with blue eyes like links. So get to getting engaged."
Damn.
Touché sis... Touché....
Celeste coughed loudly, trying to get our attention, "yeah um ok back to the question you thought you could avoid. How far did you get with them hickeys hmmm?? HMMM??"
Anna began to look really nervous and uncomfortable, "can we not talk about this.."
"Uh no bitch you're telling us now. Although you kinda don't have to now since your face tells me EVERYTHING!" Anna whimpered and covered her face with her pillow. Celeste laughed and I could only watch as we tortured our sister about her private life. Yes we're nosey. But our trust is strong enough to tell each other anything! Even who we kiss and what mischief we cause.
"You two are nosey as fuck.."
Both Celeste and I laughed, we continued torturing Anna and interrogating her thought the night. Poor thing I almost feel sorry for her. Key word, almost.
