Wolf Link

Chapter 1: Alone

I guess I'm alone for another trip to Hyrule Castle. Link thought. He had just transformed into a wolf again. He felt bad for all the other wolves. A little. The wolves up at the mountains were rabid and evil. They weren't normal. Wolves were much nicer when they weren't rabid and evil. Before the whole Twilight Princess thing went down, Link used to have wolves come to him and try to lick his face. They usually succeeded. The poor things. Everyone was so confused on the topic of wolves. There's the story of the big bad wolf, there are wolves who have been forced to eat livestock. Why, Link almost had to kill a few wolves before the farmer found out that they had eaten some of the ordonian goats. Luckily, they were smart enough to leave when Link told them to. Link knew wolves weren't permitted into Hyrule Castle Town, let alone the Castle itself. Well, at least he only had to look at the wimps of soldiers that Hyrule had to get past them. He then went inside Hyrule Castle and into Princess Zelda's Room. There she used the power of the Triforce of Wisdom to return him to his human form. And so that's what he did tonight. He saw her sleeping. They had been doing this on the 31st day of every month (or 30th, or 29th, or 28th) for about nine months now. Link's curse was partially broken, but now he didn't consider it a curse. He missed Midna, One of his closest friends. He was extremely sad about her having to leave, let alone breaking the Mirror of The Twilight. But, what she did was wise, and it was what Princess Zelda said she would have done if she had to choose. This prevented anyone from escaping the Twilight Castle or anyone from Hyrule bothering the Twili. It was the right thing to do. Link howled for many days when she left. He did not turn back to his human form for a while, but eventually he was able to get back on his feet and regain his confidence. He had no idea whether or not it was his blessing, the Triforce of Courage that gave him back his confidence, but he didn't want to think about it. Instead, he tried to forget about it. One day, a long time later, he finally succeeded in having things seem normal without her again.

Well, time to go fix my problem.

He didn't exactly think of it as a problem, though. He enjoyed being a wolf, but not being alone. He entered Hyrule Castle and pawed his way up the tower. He was able to exit out of a window, crawl on the thin side of the wall, carefully, and enter Princess Zelda's room through the open window. The guards usually locked her window shut, but she managed to pick the lock easily and open the window. She slept better that way. Link entered and saw her sleeping. He thought she looked beautiful and at peace, so he decided he would go the night without returning to his normal form. It would be fine. He kind of enjoyed being out at night as a wolf. But then again…

Oh well. She's had a busy day dealing with politics. There's no point in waking her up at 3:00. I'll have to go the night as a wolf. Alone.

And so he was alone. He hated that word, thought he felt free. Free, but depressed. He felt…Something…especially leaving Princess Zelda…

Alone…

5 Second Epilogue

"Uh, don't lick my face Link… here you go…." Princess Zelda was dreaming. She motioned her hand as if to put it on Link's furry head, but just moved it through air. Was there something about Link's presence that affected her dream, or was it coincidence?

Author's Note: Yeah, I hoped I pulled you interest and attention in. What will happen next? Well… I think this is going to be the better of my current three fan fics. Whose in for reading my next chapter? I sure hope so, it's even better than this one. Please review, and if your going to put something rude type in "MEAN WORDS". And no, you don't have to put the quotation marks if that's the case. And it better not be. Because Link knows where you live. In wolf form. And I love wolves. So he'll do things for his good buddy Jacob here. So, be nice or get bit by a hylian wolf. Yeah. Thanks.
