A Touch of Magic

Gone Forever

    I woke up when I felt a hand over my mouth and a knife against my throat. I couldn't tell who it was, they had a long hood over their face. I used my powers to push them up to the way and hold them there. I pulled the hood off and couldn't believe who it was.

        "Ganon?" I couldn't believe my eyes.

        "Who are you?" he asked, his bright red hair in his face.

        "Sheik!" I was a bit irritated by this point.

        "What? You look different," he was trying to be nice beings he wear going to slit my throat. My phone began to ring. I picked it up off the table.

        "Hello?" I was sure of who it was.

        "Sheik Clark?" It was a woman.

        "This is I," I had not a clue to who it was.

        "I'm calling to inform you that Sage Clark was unaccounted for at role this evening and is most likely dead-" I dropped the phone. Tears filled my eyes.

        "Are you okay?" Ganon tired walking up to me but, he was stuck to the wall. I let my hold go on him and he stumbled almost falling. He walked over to me. I feel to my knees crying. He hugged me not knowing what was going on. The only thing on my mind was Sage. I was just with him the night before and now he is dead.

    It felt like my life was falling apart. My daughter gone, my husband dead, "what's next, " I said to myself. I wanted to go to my dad's house and pretend I was a little girl again but, I'm not. The phone began to ring. I picked it up off the floor.

        "Hello?" I managed to say through the tears.

        "Sheik? Are you okay?" I could tell who it was.

        "Tara, Sage" I started hyperventilating, "Sage is dead."

        "Sheik, I'm coming over," with that she hung up the phone.

    I sat there on the floor. I couldn't breathe. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't calm down. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Sage standing there.

        "I'm sorry," he said and faded away. I screamed at the top of my lungs. One of the construction workers came barging through the door. He half ran into the room.

        "What the fuck happened?" his face softened when he saw me crying.

        "Get out!" I screamed. Tara walked through the open door and Sat next to me.

        "Sheik, you need to take a deep breath and calm down," she hugged me.

        "I... can't," I just wanted to scream.

        "Let's go up stairs," she pulled me to my feet, "you need to get some sleep and calm down." We walked up the stairs. Ganon escorted the construction worker to the door. He came upstairs to make sure everything was okay. I had fallen asleep.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Tara went home, Ganon had stayed with me to make sure I was okay. I had slept for two days. When I woke up, Ganon was sitting on the foot of my bed. He stood up and went to walk out of the room.

        "Where are you going?" I closed the door with a small hand gesture and locked it with another. He stood there and wiggled the handle.

        "Ganon?" I wasn't going to leave without him explaining why he held a knife to my throat.

        "I want the other parts of the Triforce, you have one," he didn't look at me.

        "So you were going to kill me? That's stooping real low  for a king,  I'm sorry, lord. Why do you need the other pieces of the Triforce?" he glared at me.

        "What?" he wasn't answering me.

        "You! I thought this was going to be easy but ,no, I have to kill my ex-girlfriend whom I never stopped having feelings for!" his face turned bright red.

        "Ganon, that was six years ago. How do you hang on to people so easily?" I didn't understand how he still had feelings for me.
