Chapter 64: hope to find

Celeste's pov**

Time went by fast and in no time we were back at the gerudo desert. Of course not without Zelda and ganon arguing like fucking two year olds along the way. Damn they must really not like each other...

I was all the way in the back with my horse rebel glaring at the unwanted guest Zelda decided to bring along. Can you guess who it is? Yeah that bitch.. Like why do that? Why bring Evelyn along when you know her ass is going to get beat? Like why even do that? You're asking for hell to break loose.. All the sudden link slowed down to ride his horse next to me, taking my attention away from the bitch.

"It's not safe for you to be at the very end. You could get hurt." He said, worry noticeable in his voice. I only shrugged, "I'll be fine don't worry about it I can take care of myself." He nodded but didn't leave my side. I caught him staring at nikki and the kids and I smirked.

"What happened to Ethan?"

I frowned, why does link even care about Ethan? The asshole was a prick to my sister and link has her now, why even mention it? I made sure to keep my voice down, careful not to let nikki over hear us, "he's dead." This seemed to take link by surprise, "dead? How? When?"

"He was found completely mauled in his room a little after you guys left earth. He was barely recognizable, his face was completely ripped apart and who ever killed him did it in the most brutal way possible. People think it was some kind of large cat that killed him, others pinned the blame on nikki saying that she paid someone to kill him." I said, leaving my voice low and monotonous. Too bad I didn't have the luxury to kill him myself..

Link looked extremely shocked, not even bothering to say anything. He stayed quiet after that until we arrived to ganons place. That's when I saw dark waiting for me.

Then I remembered something..

Anna is going to kill him...

To my luck she was nowhere to be seen, along with sheik, so I pushed rebel to gallop towards him and as soon as he saw me with a panicked look he frowned. "Cel what's-"

"Run bitch.. Anna knows and she's coming for your ass.." Dark nodded, and before we could even step inside Anna was waiting for us at the entrance with a look that would push Satan himself back to hell.

Anna's pov***

"You..." I managed to pull off my most menacing voice as I saw both idiots stop dead in their tracks with wide eyes. He knows what's coming, he knows he's getting an ass whooping..

Dark flinched, "hey Anna! Long time no see right?" He said scratching the back of his neck and laughing nervously. I only glared at him, "you rotten ASS BITCH WITH YOUR FUCKING MICROPENIS TOUCHING AND DOING THIS TO MY LITTLE SISTER HOW FUCKING DARE YOU EVEN SLEEP IN THE SAME AREA AS HER?!"

Celeste stepped in front of dark as soon as she saw me start walking towards him, "Anna sis chill out! I'm an adult I should be able to-"

"ADULT MY FUCKING ASS! ADULT? YOU CALL THIS BEING AN ADULT?! DID YOU TWO MORONS EVEN THINK OF THE CONSEQUENCES?!"

Celeste glared at me, "LOOK WHOS FUCKING TALKING MISS I HAVE FOUR HICKEYS ON MY NECK!" I gasped, "you did not just bring that up! Why am I even arguing with you?! It's dark I wanna kill not you!" Celeste glared at me, "TOUCH HIM I DARE YOU!" Having said that we both stood there, both glaring at each other.

"You two behave you're acting like children.." Elizabeth said walking past me. I frowned, crossed my arms and glared at the two before following Ganon and Lizzy into the huge palace.

Elizabeth's pov***

While walking inside we were all greeted by a white haired sassy demon.

A very sad looking white haired sassy demon may I add..

"How was the trip?" He asked hiding his evident sadness behind a smile. Ganon nodded, "it was well. Except for s few.. Incidents with blabber mouths.." He said while glancing at zelda. Zelda huffed angrily at him, his remark not going unnoticed. "Anything to report ghirahim?" Ghirahim nodded and began walking alongside Ganon, who was currently leading us to the main hall after having maids lead the others to their rooms, "yes, I believe Vaati has gone missing after leaving his study in a complete disaster, seira is nowhere to be seen, and I believe a group of bokoblins thought it would be funny to trash the northern tribe. And may I add," he paused to glare at dark link who only whistled innocently, "that someone let an angry flock of cuckoos into the palace and completely trashed the place in a span of three minutes after you left..."

I rose an eyebrow at dark slightly grinning at his stupidity while Ganon glared at him. Dark gasped, "ok that was not entirely my fault! I was being chased, I ran, and the Windows were opened..." I laughed and the other two rolled their eyes.

"Any idea where Vaati could have gone to?"

Ghirahim shook his head but dark spoke, " no but I believe he had been missing for quite some time if Celeste's suggestions were correct." Ganon rose an eyebrow, motioning dark to go on and explain. "You see, Celeste believes that the Vaati that was with us for a while now was not the Vaati we know but an imposter. And if he disappeared after trashing his study then the imposter must have been looking for something valuable that our Vaati had."

I frowned, "like what?"

Was it possible he was looking for that?

Dark stopped walking and looked at me, "we believe he was looking for a book Vaati had in his possession. A book he sorta took from nyx and Natalie during our last visit to earth."

I felt my eyes widen in shock. The book. They were looking for the book. I gasped and sped off to my room as fast as I could, ignoring the worried calls of the three men that were running behind me.

There's no way he was looking for that book. It's impossible, no one knows I had it! I prayed to whatever ancient that hadn't left me yet, that the book kotake gave me was still hidden in its spot. Damn it why didn't I take it with me?! It would have been safer with me!

I threw the door to our room open and quickly searched the hiding spot. Relief filled me once I saw it was still right where I left it.

"Oh what a relief!" I breathed heavily, trying to catch my breath back. Ganon any the others ran in the room and Ganon looked at me, waiting for an explanation. "Elizabeth, please explain why that book is so important that you would almost break your ankle while running like that..."

Break an ankle?

As if on cue I felt a slight throbbing pain in my left ankle. Oh. Well damn...

Ghirahim and dark looked at me, a confused look on their faces. "Why would someone want that book? It's got nothing but spells written in a different language." Dark said crossing his arms.

I rolled my eyes at him, "this isn't a spell book dark.. It's the oracle." Ghirahim rose an eyebrow, completely lost in everything. "A what now?"

"Not A what, THE what. The oracle is a book that was created by the ancients neferret, orfeus, and erebos. It holds every spell, law, and knowledge possible. It knows everything." I said looking at the cover of the now quiet book.

Looking back I saw ghirahim's eyes lit up with a faint tint of hope. "If it knows everything, why haven't you used it to find zaida? We could use it to find her why haven't we looked for her yet!?" I flinched as he rose his voice only to have Ganon glare and snarl at him, "do not dare raise your voice on her ghirahim..."

Ghirahim kept his mouth shut after that but worry and hope we're still imbedded in his eyes. I understand perfectly well what he's feeling.. Zaida and I were basically sisters and our bond was strong. But no matter how wrong he was about using this to locate her I couldn't bring myself to tell him that things didn't work that way. It would break me completely to hurt him that way.

This book, does not find people..

That wasn't it's purpose...

I have thought about it before, and I have mused over it the whole time since kotake gave it to me. And I have tried it but all I got were black pages. Black void pages with no end. And it terrified me..

"Tell me how to use it.. Elizabeth please.."

I sighed and gave ghirahim the silent book, "you just have to open it, but what you want most has to be the only thing in your mind. Sometimes it shows you sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it gives you a direct map to what you want and sometimes it tells you other things you may not find important."

Ganon frowned, "that easy? In that case we could figure out a way to get rid of Roxanne once and for all." I shook my head, "it doesn't work like that. The book does what it wants, it's one of the things that protects it from being in the wrong hands. You have to be a very experienced person on using it to actually get what you want."

"Got it!"

I frowned, I was so busy talking to Ganon that I hadn't noticed ghirahim ignored me and opened the book. Dark, who had been quiet up until now, spoke, a light hint of wariness on his face as well as a frown, "this is interesting..."

Darks pov****

I somehow felt that the book wasn't telling us where or how to find the white haired girl, but instead it was telling us to get ready.

But for what?

"What does it say?" She said. Ghirahim looked at the book, flipped through the pages until finally closing it with an aggravated sigh, "nothing! It's black! Everything is black! It doesn't work it's all garbage!"

Black? The pages weren't black... There was clearly something written in it.

"No ghirahim they aren't.. They have writing in them as visible as your own hand. You're just blind or some-" Elizabeth cut me off, panic clear in her voice, "you see something on it?! What does it say?"

"How should I know? I don't speak that language.." I said giving a look that clearly called her stupid. At this though, Ganon glared at me, understanding the message.

Oops?

Elizabeth though, after going through some things, gave me a quill and some paper, "write out how they look."

Why are you making me write? I hate writing it reminds me of paperwork...

After Ganon gave me another death glare I took the paper and quill and began to write down that it said. It wasn't much, about a sentence or two. Once finished I handed it to Elizabeth, who's face scrunched confusedly.

"Translation please?"

Ghirahim's voice brought her out of her trance, she nodded and spoke, "it says, careful who you trust, Friend is foe and foe is friend. Hide the two who become one and victory will come. One week..."

I laughed, complete hysteria took over me earning me confused, annoyed and disgusted looks from all three. "Hide the two who become one? Who wrote this shit? It's complete nonsense!" I continued to laugh. Ghirahim scoffed, "but it doesn't say anything about zaida though!" I rolled my eyes at him but before I could say anything, Ganon spoke, "maybe it is about zaida. We just don't know it."

Ok.. Looks like he is smart after all. But how can this be about zaida? Friend is foe and foe is friend what kind of shit is that? It's worse than when fi talks. And she is annoying as fuck... But just to make sure, it's basically saying to hide two objects and we will win, that we should trust our enemy-wait...

I glared, "damned rat..."

This seemed to startle them, "what is it dark? Who are you arguing with this time? Your own shadow?" Haha funny diva funny.. You know I really hate ghirahim at times... "I think it's telling us to trust arithen... Wretched bastard.. Why won't he die already?!" This caught Elizabeth off guard, "why would it be talking about arithen? As far as I know he's after the girls skin also." I shook my head, "not celestes.. She told me he was the one who led her to esmera and gave her a way to protect herself and the kids from Roxanne. But the only difference I saw when she came back was she was all pampered in a lot of jewelry and a nice dress along with her telling me we should trust him.. That he's not like Roxanne, which I call complete bullshit.."

Elizabeth looked down obviously thinking about the whole situation and muttered something under her breath, "so that's where she got it from.." Ghirahim frowned and made himself comfortable sitting on the other side of her on the bed, "get what?" Elizabeth looked at me and spoke, "when she came back did you notice a black choker with an eclipse amulet?" I nodded remembering the black velvet choker with an amulet that looked like a crescent moon was resting on the sun, "yeah that's it. She also began having horrible nightmares since she came back but only when she wore the necklace to sleep." She nodded, "it's called a secret. There were three in total, one for the moon, one for the sun, and one for the eclipse, and they all belonged to the three original queens of esmera. I've heard stories that said if a member of the respective bloodline wore it they would be able to see and live the memories of the past owners. It also protected them when in battle but I don't remember how. If Celeste wakes up screaming then it should be because she saw one of verona's memories."

Well that's nice to know.. Remind me to tell her this. "Verona must have had a horrible life then.." Elisabeth shook her head once more, "I doubt it, she was always pampered by erebos. But maybe she witnessed something horrible I don't know I've never seen her memories or what she lived through. Nor am I interested."

A loud yawn was heard and we all turned to see ghirahim looking annoyed at the ceiling, "yes but how does this relate to finding zaida?" I rolled my eyes at him, "ghirahim that's not important right now don't bother-"

"NOT IMPORTANT?!" He got up and grabbed my tunics collar, rage emanating from him," YOU THINK SHES NOT IMPORTANT TO LOOK FOR BECAUSE SHES NOT CELESTE!? I bet if it was Celeste the one missing you would bend hell just to find her! DONT EVEN ACT LIKE SHES NOT IMPORTANT YOU SELFISH FOOL!" I glared at him. Elizabeth tried to pry him off of me but that only made things worse as he punched me in the jaw. "Ghirahim stop! We will find her!" Ganon chuckled, "leave them be Elizabeth, they do this all the time."

... Asshole.
