" Stupid Kokiri don't know the meaning of the word sleep

Author's notes: There's no romance yet, but there will be.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything of Zelda! Too bad though.

Broken and fixed hearts

" Stupid Kokiri don't know the meaning of the word sleep." Link muttered as he got up from his bed. There was some argument going on outside that probably needed to be solved by him. He quickly got ready and grabbed some supplies, his sword and a shield. He also grabbed his ocarina at the last minute before heading outside.

" But I have to come in here!"

" I can't allow that, you're not a Kokiri." Link watched the argument continue on. It was between the kokiri guard and some girl. The girl held a flute tightly in her hands and look at the guard with a hint of hope in her hazel eyes. Her hair was blonde with silver streaks running through it. She looked 16, the same age as link. She wore a silver tunic (Like Saria's) and a dark maroon cloak over top. She had a large leather pouch that hung at her side. There was also a sheath but was a lot thinner and rounder. It looked like it could hold her flute.

" Please, I just have to go through this village in order to get in the lost woods!" The kokiri guard shook his head fiercely.

" I can't allow you to come in here. For all I know, you could cause somebody some serious harm." A few kokiri girls had gathered around the guard watching the argument. Link jumped down from his tree house and slowly walked over to the exit of the forest. The girl suddenly smiled at the guard, her head held high.

" Fine. I know other ways into the lost woods. This was just the quickest." She said very calmly. With a flick of her heels, she turned around and left. The guard grew afraid but smiled when link walked over.

" Link, please, follow her." Link just nodded his head and left the forest. He had nothing better to do. Link quietly hid in the second exit to Hyrule field and waited for the girl to leave. She was standing outside muttering to herself. She then pulled her flute from the sheath and started to play a song. Link recognized it admittedly, it was Epona's song. But the girl played the entire song. When link listened to it, he could swear he heard other instruments even though they're were none to be found.

A horse, unlike epona but one of the others at the ranch came galloping towards her. Link held his breath. He wondered how she knew that song. Probably a friend of Malon's he thought. The girl hosted her self up onto the horse and trotted away. Link quickly played Epona's song and waited for the horse. A minute later, he was riding like the wind but was careful not to make a sound.

By the time the girl reached the gates to Hyrule market, the sun was setting. A guard, standing outside spotted her and smiled. " What's a lovely lady like your self doing out here when the sun is setting?" The girl smiled at the guard and tilted her head towards Death Mountain.

" I have to go to Death Mountain." She said calmly.

" Nonsense, you can't go now. It's dangerous here at night. Why don't you come with me? You can spend the night, you must be tired."

" Oh I couldn't. I wouldn't want to barge in or anything…."

" It's no trouble at all." She jumped off her horse with a smile.

" Why thank you." The guard held his arm out for her and she took it, while holding the reins in her other hand. They engaged in a conversation while walking through the gates.

Link had only just came in time to hear what was going on. He turned towards Lon Lon Ranch. Malon would certainly let him stay the night. The sun had just set when he arrived. Malon was very happy to see him. Ingo and talon were out at a bar in the market. She was left to watch the animals.

" Link!" She ran towards him and gave him a big hug. " What are you doing here?" He smiled.

" Can I spend the night?"

" Of course. Here let me take epona." She grabbed the reins and disappeared in side the stables. When she came out, the two walked inside the house. She made a cup of coca for him and herself. They sat around a brown table. " What are you doing out here? I thought you were living back in kokiri forest." Link smiled.

" I'm following a girl. She was trying to get in the forest this morning. I have to see what she's up too."

" What's she look like?" Link described her perfectly and Malon listen.

" Oh she also had one of your horses." Malon's eyes widen and sparkled.

" You mean Andrea? She came by yesterday. Bought one of the horses. I was happy to sell him. She was very sweet and kind. And could play lovely songs on the flute. She even played my mother's song. Like she had known it all her life. Paid 300 rupees for the horse. I only wanted 200 but she gave me extra."

" Oh really…do you know much about her?" Malon shook her head.

" No. All I know is that she wanted to go to the lost woods for some reason. She said it was urgent." Link shook his.

" At least I know her name. I better get to sleep. Thank you Malon." Link left the room to sleep in one of the extra beds.

" I hope he's careful, that girl had the strangest eyes…."

Just before dawn, link left Lon Lon Ranch and hid behind one of the walls in the field. The drawbridge came down and Andrea walked out with the guard as an escort. She gave him a hug and galloped away. The guard waved and his eyes lightened up when link came galloping down. " Link! So good to see you, are you here to see Zelda?"

" Actually, I'm here to see uh…Andrea"

" Really? Such a lovely girl she is. Played a beautiful song for me, a song of healing it was. She's heading towards Death Mountain. Maybe you can catch up to her." Link frowned at the word healing. She must have met the traveling happy mask sales man in Termina. This girl was starting to scare him. Then he suddenly thought of Zelda. God she is so beautiful he thought. Maybe he could forget his mission and spend some time with Zelda. But I can't, she could be a threat.

" Thank you, tell Zelda I said hi." Then link galloped on after Andrea.

" Can do link, Can do."

It was noon when Andrea reached the steps of Kakariko village. She jumped of her horse and patted its head. Then she proceeded to walk up the steps. Link quietly placed Epona next to the other horse. " Have a lovely conversation Epona." Maybe you two can become friends he thought. And went on after her.

That's chapter one, should I write more?
