Thread: The 'Legend' of Zelda (SnowGlassRoses)

His sudden laughter more than visibly startled the young Princess. The very sound chilled herthat spine he was so amused to find she had, stiffened as she watched him applaud as if she had provided some sort of lofty entertainment That deep and echoing sound would ring within her ears during her darkest hours no doubtAnd the scene now playing before her, would be etched into the core of her nightmares for the rest of time. Though he stood far from her, she felt the hotness of his breath upon the back of her neckThat bile in her throat rising to the point where she could almost not contain herselfA gloved hand franticly pushed over her pretty lips, her throat burning from the acidic tasteUnsteadily, almost tripping over the length of her gown, she moved back against the wallEyes wide and trembling as she watched the flesh of her guards split...The sound of freshly awakened bones sending a jolt to her already uneasy stomach.. In the safety of her library, on the pages of some old novelshe had only read of such horrors.. That regal stubbornness melted entirely, at the sight of her fathers corpse starting to move once againHis spine protruding from his backhis bones rising, covered in blood and other fluids, leaving behind the shell of flesh and warmth that she had knownAnd as his empty sockets turned towards her..She could still see his eyes in the darkness The young Princess turned a ghostly pale, her thoughts all becoming fuzzy as she fought off the dizzy spells that often plagued Princesses of her age..Nearly succumbing to the numbing feeling washing over her bodyZelda immediately awoke from her spell at the feel of boney fingers clutching at her clothing. She shrieked, pulling away as the risen skeletons came towards her with hands outstretched..They pulled at her dress, causing that thin silk fabric to tear as if it were nothingAs she struggled amidst their grabbing, her jeweled necklaces were broken, scattering gold and precious jewels onto the floor amongst shreds of silk and laceExposing her lily white skin, her young blossoming figure, barely on the brink of womanhood As they frantically sought to carry out the Dark Lords commands, they pulled at her hair, ripping strands out along with the jewels that had been braided into those pretty blonde locksTears streaming down her face, Zelda could barely protestThe feel of the bones against her flesh, looking into the empty sockets where eyes she had known once lingeredAll was too overwhelmingA living nightmare. That numbness that sought to make her faint, had seeped its way into her heart... This... All of this...was so terrifying to the young noble, that it seemed that her fear had shut down...She did not scream, nor cry out...Nor did she struggle against those bony claws..The lithe young high born only flinched, whimpering slightly as she kept her eyes closed as tightly as she could until the cold air of the throne room carressed over her skin... With gloves and white thigh length stockings still in tact, hair a mess, Zelda kept her hands over her young shapen breasts, though her long tresses covered them well already, and one to cover those soft golden curls between her thighs. Though petrified clearly, lips quivering as tears still lingered within those pretty sky blue eyesZelda moved her eyes towards the throne, where that usurping bastard sat grinning like a mad cat A shove came to her shoulder as she was pushed towards the door, the cluster of skeletons and moblins with grunts and clicks perhaps of excitement..They did not understand the humiliation which was taking placeThe promise of a chase was enough to interest the base instincts which they followed... The Princess of Hyrule rose her chin once again, turning with an elegant grace, her long hair sweeping much like his cloak had...She could not face this darkness in fear...or it would consume her so rapidly she would not have a chance to defend herself... But terror clung to the aching heart of Zelda, the laughter of her captor still bellowing in her ears...
