Death by Engagement

Chapter 1- Ilia's Distress

Disclaimer: I don't own anything!

Ilia was a brat but she didn't know it. Like now, she was hitting on Link, but Link already had a girlfriend. In fact, Link was in Hyrule right now visiting his girlfriend, who just happened to be the princess.

"Ugh!" Ilia exclaimed over dinner with her father. "When will Link come back?"

"I don't think he will be coming back anytime soon, sweetie. Just eat your broccoli," her dad (who was the mayor of the Ordon Village, where they lived) told her.

Ilia lifted her fork. "And what makes you think that! He'll probably remember me and all the good times we had together and wanna come back!" she insisted.

"I'm not too sure about that," Mayor Bo said shaking his head in disbelief.

"How come?" Ilia whined.

"Well," her father began, "I didn't want to tell you this but, well Link is my wrestling partner so he tells me lots of things..."

"Got it," Ilia said annoyed.

"And well, he's known Princess Zelda for a while now..."her father told her.

"Got it."

"Well, he told me that he might just propose to the princess!" Bo finished.

Ilia's jaw dropped open. Then she clenched her fists till her knuckles turned white. "No way is he going to propose to her!" she growled, flying out of her chair. "I'll make sure of that!"

"Where are you going?" her father called out. When there was no reply, the mayor sighed. He then heard the sound of his horse, Old Silver Bell, gallop away. He was about to get up when he decided not to try to stop her. "She wants proof that Link hates her? Boy will she get it," he told himself.

At top speed, with Ilia on its back, Old Silver Bell raced out of Ordon Village and into Hyrule Field.

It was a calm and pleasant evening in Castle Town as the stars glistened down on the town and castle. The castle looked almost magical on that beautiful evening. Everything was so peaceful...until Ilia came tearing through the streets. When she arrived in Castle Town Square, a guard stopped her.

"Have you ever been here before?" he asked the brat.

"Yes, a few times. Why?" Ilia replied.

"Well have you ever seen a horse ride through here obnoxiously as you did?" he questioned smartly.

"Well....here's a horse!" Ilia replied dumbly.

"No horses allowed inside the town! I'll take it to the stables," he offered. Ilia reluctantly dismounted the old racing horse and continued her way to the castle door.

"Where do you think you're going, missy?" a guard stopped her.

"I have to see Link!" she cried.

"Sorry, kiddo, no strangers allowed," the guard said plainly. "Now move along."

Ilia screamed. She angrily stomped away. She decided to see if her friend Telma would let her in through the door she has.

"Sorry, no can do," Telma replied when Ilia asked if she could be let into the castle.

"But! But! I just have to see Link!" Ilia cried. "He'll propose to that stupid princess! He'll throw his life away! And Princess Zelda doesn't even love him I bet! She's just a brat! Oooooooo, if I get my hands on that princess I'd..." she twisted her hands together and squeezed them as tight as she could.

"Could you do this somewhere else?" asked Telma. "You're scaring away customers."

"Does everyone in this world only care about themselves!" Ilia screamed as she was led out the door. As the door slammed in her face she cried shaking her fist, "Link will never be the prince of Hyrule! You hear me! Never!" she then angrily stomped away to go find Old Silver Bell.
