Still trying to figure out posting chapters and editing so please excuse all flaws so far and I will get better
"Zelda…Queen Zelda…my queen." Vaati smiled pacing in front of the throne in his palace where the young princess sat nervously watching him. "Zelda the Wind Queen, Zelda Queen of Winds…"he sighed. "Your lovely name goes with any title under my authority to give you." he glanced over and frowned upon seeing her eyes glisten with tears, fear finally breaking through her defenses making her cry.
"Aww I know, I know dear." he smiled approaching her, her icy blue eyes glistened with tears casting upward in desperate fear. "You are so taken aback with excitement you can hardly contain yourself." he leaned over her, one leg knelt by her right thigh and he used the weight of the leg to lean forward, his arm snaking around her back and pulled her up so they were pressed against each other. " Tomorrow we will be wed. I know it is so exciting!" he leaned down to kiss her making her yelp and struggle. "I know..I know.." he smiled . "So exciting…"
"Wait!" she said quickly blocking his lips with her hand and turning her face away. "Isn't a maiden kiss suppose to be special?" she asked her voice still slightly broken but panic replaced her weeping tears as she sought a quick way out of the inevitable kiss. Vaati let out a soft annoyed growl at the fact that his advance had been blocked. Zelda continued seeing that he was annoyed but listening. "..yes ..we are to be married soon isn't that correct? Well it would be down right foolish to steal such a…" she paused seeing him smile.
"But of course. Silly me. After all, a prize like that would be squandered if I took it before the right time." he grinned pinching her cheek. "Clever little queen to be." he pulled back and stood. She will be his sooner or later. He thought smugly. Let's make her a little more..pliable when it does come time to take her.
Hyrule castle was unusually quiet this night, Impa frowned when Zelda didn't show up for her usual snack raid of the kitchen before retiring to her rooms for the night like she always had. "Zelda?" Impa entered her room quietly. "I brought you a snack and some tea." she said placing the tray on the table before plopping herself down in a seat. "Hello? I'm going to eat your snack if you don't hurry up." Impa grinned pouring herself a glass of tea and taking a sip. "Zelda?" her ears perked up upon hearing no sound. "Don't joke around. You are too old for that." her voice sounded out with a tingle of panic in it. She neared the table with cup in hand almost missing a note which was neatly folded and placed on top of a stack of books. She opened the note smiling thinking Zelda was hiding and was just being down right foolish again leaving notes saying "she's not here" like she had when she was little. Impa's smile shattered and all color drained from her face, her hands shaking making her tea cup drop from her grip and shatter on the floor, its contents spilling out upon reading the note.
"DEAR FATHER AND IMPA, THE SKY SHOULD BE CLEAR BY THE TIME YOU READ THIS AND THE PEOPLE WILL BE SAFE TO RETURN TO THEIR HOMES. THE WIND MAGE WILL BE GONE AND THE LAND SHALL BE SAFE. I HAD OVERHEARD THE TWO OF YOU TALKING AND KNEW THAT IT WAS MY DUTY TO SAVE THE KINGDOM EVEN IF YOU COULD NOT BRING YOURSELF TO SAVE IT OUT OF LOVE FOR ME. I AGREED TO THE WIND MAGE'S TERMS AND AM LEAVING WITH HIM. KNOW THAT I WILL MISS YOU GREATLY AND LOVE YOU BOTH WITHOUT CONDITION, ALL MY LOVE ZELDA…AND TO IMPA, TAKE CARE OF FATHER FOR ME."
Impa dropped the letter and screamed immediately making the guards run in. "G…get the king…" she said shaking. "DON'T STAND THERE LIKE IDIOTS! GET THE KING DAMN IT!"
"You know, this is how I always pictured passing time with my queen." Vaati sighed laying on the marble steps of the throne room which looked out to the sky it being almost mid morning now. Zelda's lap was making the perfect pillow as he stared up at her. The princess ate a grape looking out at the sunny cloud free sky as she placed another one in his mouth. He smiled. Yes, things were going all according to plan. Too bad he had to wait to have her, he was in very high spirits. He relished the look on her face, nervous, looking to flee somehow yet at the same time resigned to her fate. The soft silk of her dress brushed his neck as he shifted ever so slightly but not moving from where his head laid in her lap face up to better enjoy her misery. "As my wife to be of course you will be given certain.. expectations to follow." he said chewing another piece of fruit she placed ever so gently on his tongue. "But I'm not all mean my dear." he sat up to look at her fully now. "Tell me. Tell me what you want. Anything and I will give it to you. I'm in a good mood why not indulge you as well?"
Zelda's face lit up and she took in a breath to say what she desired stopping when her request was cut off before it was even spoken."Keep in mind that our agreement cannot be broken." he said hiding a smile at the broken look in her eyes. "Aww come now..surely I can give you anything else."
"I…I would like something to read" she looked down at her lap rather than meet his eyes"….and…if..if I can't return to my family could I…at least visit them?" she asked looking up. "Oh please! It will only be for a short time. It…it would be a…a…wedding gift to me." she would beg if need be.
Vaati looked skeptical frowning slightly before looking back up at her. "Very well. After the wedding you can pay them a short visit. But then you-" he gasped when he was cut off by the princess's thanks and being wrapped in a hug before the princess blushed and looked away embarrassed at her outburst. Things were without a doubt going as planned. Tomorrow would be the wedding. Tomorrow she would truly be his.
