Chapter 3

(Semi-Flashback, Anastazia's P.O.V)

(Setting: Ganondorf's Castle)

(Anastazia's Age: 14)

        “DIE YOU SON OF A BITCH!” I shouted as I plunged my sword into the chest into a Darknut prototype as a training dummy Ganondorf programmed for me while he was gone, which was often. He was always gone. Which meant that I was always alone. That started when I turned 10, he just started leaving me alone in the castle for undisclosed amounts of time ranging from a day to about two weeks. Though now, it's been about a month since I've seen him. My only comfort was Koume and Kotake. Each night I would wait by the door, awaiting Ganon to come back so I could be the first one to greet him. But, I've gotten to the point where I'm doubting that he's ever going to come back. Thinking of that, I could feel my sadness and worry sweep over me and cause tears to rundown my eyes. I threw the sword so it stuck into the wall and ran inside. I instantly fell into the couch in the huge sitting room and cried into the fabric.

        “Anastazia?” Koume's voice said.

        “What's wrong?” Kotake asked. The two sat down next to me. One of them was tousling my bright scarlet hair, which I had changed permanently. Blonde didn't suit me.

        “I-I m-miss my f-father.” I cried. I was now comfortable with saying Ganondorf was my father. Though, no one knew how much I wanted him as my true dad. I belonged to someone else who was dead. “Where is he?”

        “I don't know. Koume? Don't you know?”

        “No. No, I don't. I hate to see you like this, sweetheart. I'm sorry we can't do anything.”

I turned to my side and faced the back of the couch. “I need him. I-I love him.” I said silently.

        “You what?!” Kotake exclaimed loudly.

        “Didn't you hear me, grandmother? I LOVE GANONDORF! He's the only person in my life who takes care of me, and now he's probably dead and you don't even care.” I shouted. I cried harder, drenching my face in hot tears. I couldn't stand being down here only to face more disappointment. So, I pulled myself up to my room and crawled into the bed, fully clothed and with my shoes still on. I covered myself with the down comforter and slowly drifted off to sleep. Thinking nothing more than sadness,

        I didn't realize it until now, but I had actually been concealed in my room for a week. No food, no water, only sleep. Koume and Kotake would offer to make things and they would clean my room, but I would always deny the offer. The only thing I wanted was for Ganondorf to come back. He has been gone for far too long. Sometimes I wouldn't sleep, I would just sit in the window sil with the comforter wrapped around me, watching the field and sunset or sunrise.

        “ANASTAZIA!” Kotakes voice shouted. I groaned and opened the doors. The blanket still on me, I walked downstairs to not even see Kotake or Koume. Just a large oversized head of red hair. I immediately felt my heart skip a beat or two. Without any warnings, I ran and threw my arms around his neck in a large burst of emotion.

        “Holy shit.” he said suddenly. I had my face buried in his shoulder due to my sheer happiness of seeing my father back. “Ana?”

        “Why were you gone for so long!?” I asked in a muffled tone.

        “I had some pent up anger that-” he stopped his words and I then knew why. Though, before I could really indicate it, he shoved me off of him and I fell to the ground. Hitting my shoulder and dislocating it.
