Chapter 65: bachelorette party anyone?

There wasn't much to do before the attack. All she could do was wait. Sitting in Roxanne's chair all she did was tap her newly grown nails on the chairs arm.. Though she was new the demons and slaves feared her as much as they did Roxanne. Others even told tumors about her to the others monsters and creatures under Roxanne's command. They would say things like, "the Queen demoness." Or "devils spawn, hair as black as her soul." Though quite she was, agrona only had to give a look and the creatures would cower In fear. This was who she was. She was no woman, she was war, discord and death.

Tap

Tap

Tap..

With every second that passed she mused about the perfect strategy on attacking. Her goal? Kill the heir and shadow mistress. She thought it funny that Rowena, being as respected and fear as she was, had manage to let the shadow mistress escape her grasp. Careless. Nothing but careless. She would have her change, to prove herself worthy of being feared and to rid herself of those wretched chains. Chains that caused her a pain worse than that of slowly being skinned and dissected alive. She wanted to kill those girls more than anything. She blamed them for her pain. She felt betrayed. But why? She knew nothing of them. The only thing in her mind was her impulse for death.

Why does she feel like they betrayed her?

And why is the feeling of sadness and hurt imbedded in her mind?

She hated not knowing, and she hated this feeling. This was only weakness, nothing more nothing less. A demon doesn't feel. They're empty. Hollow. Emotionless. Dead. With nothing but their bloodlust. It was perfect that way.

"M-miss? Everything's r-ready. We should attack t-toda-"

Agrona shot the lizalfos a piercing stare forcing it to shut up and shiver. She neither glared or smile, her expression was empty. And it caused terror in them. Long had the lizalfos regretted betraying the gerudo King, long had they wished Roxanne was not their master. But they feared her too much. Plus they missed causing terror among the hylians, so they had no plans of betraying her. The lizalfos dropped, a wild temblor taking over its body, "F-forgive me m-miss! I d-didn't mean t-to be imprudent! Forgive me!"

Agrona took her eyes off him and turned her head, giving the lizalfos a chance to scurry away. A small chuckle was heard and she turned her face in the direction of where it came from. "You're not very talkative are you zaida?" Agrona frowned, confused as to why the raven haired man would call her that. "I just don't believe in words my lord. Actions are better.." Arithen chuckled upon hearing this. She had changed so much since she was brought here. Her beautiful white hair had become black and dull, And her bright and innocent personality became empty emotionless. He was amazed by such change. Indeed like an angel that had fallen from heaven into hell.

"I mean no rudeness sir but If I may ask, why is it you're speaking to me in such a familiar way?"

To this arithen smirked and placed a small box on her lap and opened it, revealing a sweet and sad melody. A music box.

Agrona frowned, not only because of the bizarre change of attitude towards herself but because the melody seemed hauntingly familiar yet unknown. "A music box sir?"

"Yes dear a music box. I was hoping I could give you a gift before you go off into battle next week. I thought you would like it?" His smile seemed terrifying yet beautiful, like a monster that reeled in its prey with sweet words and affectionate kisses. She only nodded, "I appreciate the gift sir. It's truly nice." Arithen nodded at the acceptable answer, "tell me zaida, why are you attacking next week and not today?" She only stared at her box and then back at him, "mistress Roxanne said that on the day of the festival there would be a complete versinia. "

This caught him off guard. A complete versinia was a total eclipse that occurred the day of the festival in esmera. The only difference from it and a normal eclipse was that it would be visible in all the realms and not just esmera. If that was true then there should be one visible in hyrule also. And seeing as zaida is one of the rare Dragomirs who possessed control over all the elements, Roxanne planned to amplify her power with that event. Giving the others no chance of hope whatsoever. Typical of his sister. She would wait centuries if it meant that she could have a chance to wipe her enemies out in one strike. With this eclipse going on during the attack the other girls simply had no hope of survival. Arithen smiled seductively at her, "well then I wish you good luck." He chuckled and left. Leaving agrona behind confused and alone. With only a sad music box for entertainment...

Seira's pov***

I huffed, annoyed at the sentry that watched over me vigilantly. "How am I supposed to have a decent swim if you won't even give me some privacy to strip out of my clothes?!" I received no response from the adorable (though very annoying) bat like eyeball who continued to watch me carefully. No matter where I hid to change it would always follow me around, making sure It was watching me at all times. I appreciate Vaati for wanting me to be safe but this is just too much. After a long time of convincing (more like distracting it making it think there was a monster behind it coming to attack me) I had managed to strip of my clothes and get in a small lake I had found near the cabin I was currently staying at with Vaati and nyx. I sighed happily, letting the water soak my violet scales and my newly long hair floating around my head as if it had a mind of its own. I smiled. Water always made me feel safe and relaxed. It would always be my comfort whenever I felt angry, scared, or depressed. It was in a way, my happy place. And being away from it for so long really put me in a depressed mood. I resurfaced and saw that the sentry was panicking at the fact that it couldn't see me. I let out a giggle and submerged back in the water only to have the sentry panic once more. It was nice to disappear for a moment. I let my self rest at the bottom of the lake, letting the mud soften my scales and skin. The mud felt incredibly soft and welcoming to the touch, almost inviting me to fall asleep and forget about my worries. I think I did eventually fall asleep. I woke up to the water rocking me back and forth as if there was a storm outside. I frowned, apparently I had fallen asleep for a long time now considering it was almost sunset. I didn't feel like leaving the water just yet so I decided to play around with whatever I found. Vaati could wait. I remembered that mermaids were known for their beautiful voice. Maybe that applied to me also, but considering I sound like a dying humpback whale when I sang as a human made me reconsider. But ehh, who's here to hear me?

I smiled finally choosing a song I wanted to sing. "Lay down your head and I'll sing you a lullaby
Back to the years of loo-li lai-lay
And I'll sing you to sleep and I'll sing you tomorrow
Bless you with love for the road that you go May you sail far to the far fields of fortune
With diamonds and pearls at your head and your feet
And may you need never to banish misfortune
May you find kindness in all that you meet" I remember my mother would sing this to me whenever I couldn't sleep. At the time (I still am) I was obsessed with the lord of the rings and my mother committed the song to memory so that she could sing it for me. "May there always be angels to watch over you
To guide you each step of the way
To guard you and keep you safe from all harm
Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay
May you bring love and may you bring happiness
Be loved in return to the end of your days
Now fall off to sleep, I'm not meaning to keep you
I'll just sit for a while and sing loo-li, lai-lay" I frowned, annoyed that the water was getting more and more alive instead of its calm still nature. I wasn't at the sea, why is the water acting like its forming waves? Why is it so restless? I swam up to see what all the ruckus was all about but as soon as I surfaced I was Met with violet clothes and red eyes.

"Hello love."

I screamed a bit startled and submerged again only to have Vaati grab my arms and pull me back out. "Nope darling you've been in there for a LONG time. It's time to come out now! And by the way nice song. Very soothing and pleasant to hear." I frowned and used my tail to keep most of my body in the water, "how much did you hear?!" He chuckled at me, "everything darlin. I thought you said you sounded like a dead whale?" I scoffed and struggled to get back in the water but Vaati was using all his strength to pull me out. "It's a dying humpback thank you very much now LET GO!" He laughed, "I don't think so it's already dark and you have been in there for a long long time. It's time for the fish to get out of the water!" He had wrapped his arms around my waist and I squirmed to get free from his grasp. "VAATI LET GO!"

"Absolutely not darling it's time to come out. We have to go back we don't want to miss a royal wedding tomorrow do we?" I gasped, his words hitting me like hail, "ITS TOMORROW?!" He let out a laugh and finally managed to pull me out of the water, holding me in a bridal style."yes Seira it's tomorrow." I huffed and crossed my arms realizing he had managed to take me out of the water and was already walking towards the cabin.

"Seira?"

"What?" I said with the straightest face I could manage to show my aggravation at him. He looked at me with a straight face also and spoke, "how come the sentry gets to see you undress but I can't so much as peek at your stomach? It's really not fair." I felt my eyes widen and my face heat up, "w-what?! What all did it see?!"

"Everything."

"E-everything?"

He looked straight into my eyes with a annoyed stare, "ev-ry-thing..."

I covered my face with my hand and whimpered, "how embarrassing!" He laughed, darlin it's all alright, but you owe me. It's not fair that a flying eye can see you undressed and I, your "boyfriend" or however you call it, can't." I frowned at him and playfully hit his arm, "oh sure you can. If we ever get married that is." He rose an eyebrow at me, "if? What do you mean if? Married or not darling you belong to me and no other man will have you. There is no if nor is there a when. I will not ask you to marry me at all there is no need to ask. You simply have no choice. You are mine." Again I felt my face heat up in the darkest shade of red possible, "so I have no say in whether I marry you or not?"

"Nope. You have absolutely no choice. You will marry me and you will stay with me and you will not go back to earth, you have no choice." I sighed, "oh joy..."

We entered the cabin and saw nyx sitting at the dining table with a paper and pen with a thoughtful look on her face. She then smiled at us once she noticed we were home.

*・゜゚・*:.。..。.:*・・*:.。. .。.:*・゜゚・*
Nyx smiled at the two upon their arrival. Vaati, still a bit uneasy around her only stared back. He continued to walk towards the room Seira slept in and left her there to dry and change. After that, he left back to the kitchen only to see various names written on nyx's paper, some of them crossed out. He frowned, remembering what arithen had said to them before leaving the horrible dungeons. "Nyx, what did arithen mean by there is a traitor among us?" The woman smiled, showing her sharp canines, "he meant exactly that. Someone is betraying your little group. And it's someone that has been with you since your last visit on earth." Vaati frowned, "who is it?" Nyx chuckled and shrugged, "beats me. I certainly do not." This caused uneasiness to fill Vaati. He furrowed his brows and sat across from her, "what all did you find out during our little escapade?"

This caught nyx's attention, she tapped her long sharp nails on the wooden table as she told him what she found out. "Zaida is beyond the stage of being helped. Like I said back then there is no hope for her. As for Roxanne's plans.. They might mean the apocalypse if she goes through with them.." Vaati frowned, "what do you mean?"

"There are things, Vaati, that should never be released back into the land of the living nor the dead. She is looking for a book. What her intentions are when she finds it I do not know but I assure you it won't be good."

"Is there anything else?"

Nyx smiled once again, her smiled told him that indeed she knew something else. "That's all the information I could get."

Lies...

Anna's pov***

I walked around the large palace bored out of my mind, heading for my room. Sheik said he'd be with link and that I shouldn't wait for him to go to sleep. It's not like I'm going to sleep anyways, it's like what? Six? seven? in the afternoon? I don't Fucking know. I had opted to just go to my room but my sister, obviously had a different idea.

"Nikki! What are you doing?!"

Nikki laughed and pulled me away from my destination and lead me through the other room. Celeste's room. "We are giving Lizzy a small bachelorette party!" I gave her a what the fuck face and noticed all my sisters (well just nikki and cel), zelda, and midna, and even Evelyn sitting on the bed with Elizabeth in the middle. "How the fuck are we having a bachelorette party without strippers? What are we even going to do?" Celeste smirked, "Anna! You nasty! Let me call the boys, DARK-"

I made a disgusted face, "I'm sorry but keep that to yourself no one wants to see that! You nashty." Celeste turned around from the door and groaned, "chill sis I was just going to ask him where he left my cookies. I'm hungry." Midna snorted, "again? You just ate!"

"EY! Don't question the pregnant lady." Celeste laughed , walking back with a jar of cookies after a guard gave it to her. Zelda spoke confused, "ok now that Celeste has food. What's a bachelorette party?"

"A bachelorette party is traditionally done the night before a wedding and it's a party made with just the bride and her bridesmaids. But since I don't have any bridesmaids we are just having fun like a normal get together or something like that." Lizzy said. Celeste and nikki scoffed, "bitch please, we aren't having a party, we are causing mischief! Now let's go prank the guys. But Liz try to hide from Ganon don't let him see you. Actually you and nikki put on a mask that way he can't tell the difference between you." Nikki gasped and "fainted", "and have him mistake me for Liz and want to kiss me?! Gross! no!" I rolled my eyes at my sister, "Nikki we shouldn't be that close to see or talk to the guys." Nikki looked at me warily  and then nodded, "alright twin what's the plan?"

Celeste smirked, she got up from the bed and brought back a box filled with pouches. Inside these pouches were colored sand similar to what they used for color runs back on earth. My eyes widen and hysteric laughter filled me. Celeste smirked," what's so funny Anna?"

"The target isn't Ganon is it?"

"Nope."

Nikki joined in the laughter, while Celeste replied once more after receiving odd stares from the other three. "we have noticed a poor fashion demon has been feeling kinda down. Let's cover him with rainbows shall we?"

We all laughed mischievously as we grabbed our respective pouches, mine being blue, Nikki's green, cel has a red one, Zelda has a violet one, midna a yellow, Elizabeth has an indigo one and that other girl has an orange one. What? I don't like the bitch. Once we had our pouches we left the room and hid in different places in the meeting room where we knew the boys were going to be at.

Not three minutes later link and sheik walked in the room followed by dark and ghirahim. Ganon however was nowhere to be seen. Celeste and I made eye contact and nodded. Midna and I were to climb the pillars and walk on the roof designs (sturdy designs that were 3D and had enough room for a person to crawl on them and wouldn't fall to their death if they were careful. Almost like how the roof was in movie studios and so on. Only these were meant to make the ceiling look pretty and not hold lights or cameras. I saw Celeste give Nikki and Zelda green light to proceed and they moved closer to the guys and hid behind the pillars.

This however didn't go unnoticed by the attentive sheikah sitting next to link. Link frowned, "what's wrong sheik?" Sheik stayed quiet for a moment then shook his head, "no nothing." A few minutes passed, and Celeste gave me and Midna the go signal and as soon as she said it we took a handful of sand paint and dropped it on the guys, quickly hiding back so we wouldn't be seen. We smiled as we heard their annoyed yells and then soon after that a war broke out. Screaming and annoyed yells filled the air as the girls behind the pillars attacked the guys with their color powder. I laughed as I couldn't keep in my laughter anymore but as soon as I laughed I lost balance and fell. I screamed but then I felt someone catch me. I looked up to see sheik's annoyed face and I screamed, throwing my blue powder at him. "MAYDAY MAYDAY I HAVE BEEN CAPTURED ABANDON SHIP GUYS ABANDON SHIP!!" Celeste screamed, distracted by my outburst dark had managed to catch her in a hug, "GIRLS SAVE YOURSELVES ABORT THE MISSION!" Nikki and the other three (I say three because Evelyn refused to participate) ran out of the room.

"LET ME GO YOU UNCULTURED SWINE!" I yelled struggling to free myself from sheik's grasp. Celeste seemed to be having similar problems and soon we were both immobilized.

Dark glared, "who's idea was this?" Celeste and I stayed quiet. Refusing to speak. It was a funny sight to see everyone, including a now rainbow ghirahim covered in colors. I guess you could say they really did taste the rainbow? No? Ok..

Sheik narrowed his eyes at me, "Anna...."

I smirked, "asshole.."

Ghirahim sighed, "just tell us who it was.."

Celeste laughed, "Neva!"

Laughter overcame both of us (who were now tied up and sitting on the floor in a kneeling position. How rough right?). Zant laughed, "I have to admit it was fun." I smiled, "thanks zant!" Celeste laughed and chimed in, "it was all my idea!"

Uh oh...

Celeste froze as she realized she had fallen for zant's trap. She narrowed her eyes at him and mouthed the word traitor. Dark glared, "I fucking knew it!" Sheik frowned at me, "so then that makes you the instigator?"

I shrugged, "eh yeah most likely yes."

Why do I feel like I'm going to regret this?
