You killed her...you killed your own mother!

N-no daddy, I didn't d-do it!

Liar! You murdered her I know it!

*Crash*

Daddy please don't, I'm sorry daddy!

See!? You apologize because you know in your heart it's true! You killed her! It's your fault she's dead!

No I didn't hurt mommy! I didn't do it! I didn't do it!

"...I didn't do it," Amra whispered, lost in her memories. It wasn't until she felt someone shaking her that she flinched, launching out of her mind. She looked at the one shaking her, "Link? What happened?"

Link released Amra, keeping his eyes focused on her, "Ghirahim is gone, he left shortly after Stacy's outburst." Amra looked around, seeing that Link was right. Ghirahim was nowhere to be seen.

She gazed over Link, noticing with horror Ghirahim's knifes were still impaled in his back. "Link! Oh my gods your back!" Link looked over his shoulder, a look of contemplation on his face. He dug through his pouch, pulling out a dark blue cloak. Link quickly threw the cloak around himself. He faced Amra, "A few red potions and I'll be fine, don't worry about me." Amra was concerned, but knew there was much she could say to change his mind.

It was silent between them, Amra feeling the tension in the air. She knew Link wanted to question her, so before Link could open his mouth she exclaimed, "I-I didn't do it….I didn't kill my mom."

Link's eyes widened, Amra's statement clearly shocking him. Amra looked away scanning the area. When her eyes suddenly came across Stacy, who was dusting herself off, she sighed. She started walking towards the castle, "That's all I'm saying about it, let's go."

Link recovered from his shock and frowned in worry. He opened his mouth to say something, but was stopped by Josie. She shook her head and ran past to catch up with Amra, Emily following close behind. He was left behind with Stacy, who took the chance to get slide closer to him.

Amra reached the door and both her friends caught up. They looked at each other, concern plain on their faces. Emily laid a gentle hand on her shoulder, "We're here for you Amra. Don't forget, you're not alone." Josie nodded, equalling Emily's thoughts. Amra sighed, wishing she could tell them that she was fine.

But she couldn't lie to them. Not about this.

"I know guys, you two always have my back. I couldn't ask for better friends." She said, turning to look each of her friends in the eyes. She added, "Let's just focus on getting home. That's the most important thing, not…"

Not my fucked up childhood…..

Link and Stacy reached them, Link giving her a troubled look. She pretended she didn't notice and Link reached over opening the door. Which led to even more stairs and another door. Two knights were guarding it, each giving Link a salute. Link gave them a nod and they opened the door for them.

A large monument in the shape of a spiral stood before them with bushes framing the stone statue. Three triangles that formed a bigger triangle with a space in the middle was atop the monument. Stone walkways with colorful flowers on both sides had many people on them. Knights, butlers, chefs, maids, scholars and nobles were walking about, paying the group little attention. They all seemed to be in a rush.

"Strange….it's never this busy" Link said frowning, confusion in his tone.

One of the scholars heard him and looked in his direction, "Sir Link! There you are." The man approached the group, his clothes slightly baggy on his small frame. Despite this, the green eyes behind his glasses were crisp and sharp. He clasped Link's hand and started leading him away, Amra and the others staying close behind them. Amra heard the man say, "We still have much to do before they arrive but we should probably get you ready before hand. Her Majesty is waiting for you in the library but before meeting-"

Link stopped walking, "Wait a moment. What's going on? Who is coming to the castle?" The man give Link a strange look then proceeded to laugh, "Good one sir! As if you wouldn't know who was coming!" Link sighed and took his hand from the man's grasp. He glanced back at Amra, " I'll go get ready if you take these ladies to the library. It's urgent that they speak with the Queen."

The man looked at them with wide eyes, not realizing they were following the whole time, "Oh! Y-yes sir, of course! " Link looked back at the group, his eyes staying longer on Amra then the others. He looked conflicted, but before Amra could say anything Link glanced away. He opened the main doors for everyone and the whole group stepped inside.

The room she ended up in was massive. The room itself was circular with giant chandeliers, made of gold with encrusted rubies, above them. The floor had a beautiful intricate design of swirls while the furniture around the room were solid colors of gold. There were pillars on each side of the doors in the room, each one a pure white.

The scholar held one of the doors open, "This way, miladies." Amra walked ahead, passing through the door without a second glance at Link. She stepped into a long corridor with a deep red carpet and dark wooden walls. There were paintings of various kings and queens on the wall, with nameplates on the bottom of the frame.

Once everyone was in the hallway, the scholar lead them on. Amra felt someone nudge her shoulder and she looked to her side, unsurprised that it was her friend Josie. Before she opened her mouth Amra spoke up, "Look I don't wanna talk about my mom or dad, okay?" She hoped her friend would finally drop it.

Josie sighed, "I know...and i ain't gonna push you. We're just worried about you, ya know?" Amra felt a hand on her shoulder, turning to see it was Emily. She nodded and added, "Stacy doesn't know the whole story, all she knows is that horrible rumor...if she knew what happened afterwards she'd think differently."

I doubt that…

Josie echoed her thoughts, "Not likely. That bitch is ruthless. She doesn't give a fuck about anyone but herself." Amra agreed, but she knew there was more to Stacy's attitude towards her, but she didn't want to anyone, even her best friends, to know.

They probably wouldn't believe it...

They continued walking, going left and right at turns as well as walking up a large staircase. No matter where they went the layout and color scheme looked identical. Amra felt like she was stuck in one of those never-ending hallways.

How does anybody know where anything is in this place?

Eventually, the scholar stopped at a double door and announced, "Here we are." He pushed and held open one of the doors and the group made their way in. Large ornate bookcases lined the walls with deep red curtains surrounding the giant windows. Matching arm chairs were scattered around various tables, though most were bare of anything.

One table was extremely cluttered with multiple book stacks and scraps of papers. A lone woman was leaning over the table, her sky blue eyes scanning through an open book. Her long hair was flowing down her back, curling at the ends. A golden crown was on top of her head. Her down was beautiful, the fabric had intricate designs of swirls mixed with real gold and jewels. The triangle crest Amra kept seeing was also on the front of the dress.

The scholar turned and faced us, clearing his throat, "Presenting her Majesty, Queen Zelda!"
