AN: Ehehe. So here I am again, with a new Zelda story while the other ones remained unfinished….Please don't hurt me…The other stories will be finished soon. They need to be, since a new Zelda game comes out in February. It looks amazing. So this story is a Sheik/Zelda story. I may pair Link with someone as well, but I haven't decided yet. It will not, however, be Malon.

PROLOGUE: Forgotten

He crept forward as silent as the night, one foot stepping lightly in front of the other. The man was nothing more than a shadow, slipping between darkness and light, his ruby eyes shining eerily in the glow of the torch's flame. No one would see him unless he wanted them to, so no one would.

For a year he had been forgotten, or, seeing as time had gone forward and swept back again, it had been eight years and not just one. He could remember what many could not; the destruction of Hyrule and the struggle of the Hero of Time. The hero had even met him on more than one occasion. Link had seen his body, heard his voice….learned from him.

But it was not him. It was Zelda.

He had given her his body to use as a weapon and a tool for survival. And when she had cast him aside in those final moments, there had been only endless black. There had been no wind, no sound….nothing. He had only his thoughts to keep him company, thoughts filled with screams of betrayal and anger.

And then a door had opened. It had been the only light he'd seen in his shapeless prison; a rectangle of light waiting for him to step through. Somehow, he had.

Emerging as a wreck of a man, he had spent weeks recovering. Not physically, for his body remained in perfect shape, but mentally. There was an unquenchable fury in his soul matched by the anguish in his heart for being forgotten, and the madness in his mind for being alone for so long.

How could she have done this to him? He had thought…no…of course not…She had used him only to survive, to help the Hero of Time, to lead Hyrule to victory. Why would she care for a Sheikah except to steal his name?

Sheik, for that name was rightfully his, continued running down the castle corridor, as quietly as a cat. He would see that revenge was taken.

There were only nightmares now. There had only ever been nightmares. Once, when she had submitted herself to a blissful sleep there had been dreams, hope.

But this night, the princess Zelda sat awake, her blanket clutched to her chest as her tears streams freely down her cheeks. What hope was there for her now? She remembered everything that had happened. Ganondorf had taken over Hyrule, and Link had defeated him. And then they had returned to the seven years before and had grown up all over again. Except, this time, Zelda had done it alone.

Link, of course, visited her frequently and had become a knight of Hyrule, but it was not the same. He was her dear friend, but he could never replace, and was not meant to replace…

Zelda stifled a sob. She had tried so hard…But there had been nothing she could do to rescue him. And no one, save Impa and herself knew what had happened to him. All that anyone knew was that at the age of thirteen, Sheik of the Sheikah had disappeared.

AN: Yeah, very short, I know. I wanted to see if there was any interest first. If people want more, the chapters will be longer. So, what does everyone think? REVIEW!!!!
