Disclaimer: I own nothing. not Nintendo, not Link, not anything. so, please don't sue me. I'm already in debt as it is:(
A/N: this is the second part of my story. This chapter will focus on Zelda and link's friendship. I planning on maybe splitting this story into two. One focusing on his childhood and one with an older link. The older link will have more adult themes in it and will be probably rated T. Well anyway tell me what you think and please enjoy this chapter. :)
It's been two weeks since I last saw him. Two weeks since I last saw my best friend not knowing whether he is alive or not. He could be injured or worse. I can't take it anymore. He said he left to go search for a dear friend, yet at the same time he left me. I have prayed every day for his safe return, and I hope the goddess of time will hear my plea and return him to me soon. This seems so silly. I only known him for half a year yet it seems like I've known him for years.
He arrived as if by some miracle when nobody else believed me about my dreams, yet he did. A few days later we revealed the desert king's scheme to take over Hyrule. I shudder to think what would have happened if that evil man would have succeeded. Even after that, we stayed in contact. He would sneak into the gardens where I was and we would spend hours talking about everything. I lived within these castle walls never ever seeing the outside. Yet, when he tells me of his adventures I feel like I actually been there. He even brings me a souvenir of the places he has been. My favorite souvenir is a beautiful flower grown deep in the forest where he lives. It's petals shine with a deep crystal blue color. It reminds me of him so much. What I wouldn't give to leave here and find him, but I can't. Even if I could, my father would be frantic with worry; I never want to hurt him like that. I must believe in him and have faith he will return to me.
"Link", I whispered to myself holding the flower in my hands. I suddenly felt a familiar presence come into the garden, but it wasn't my guardian Impa.
"Who's there?", I ask. I felt the presence come closer and instinctively squeezed the flower. No response.
"I know your out here. Show yourself or I will call the castle guards.", I threaten.
"Boo!", said a green clothed boy who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. I screamed and fell to the floor, while the boy was laughing.
"That's not funny!", how dare Link do this to me. Wait, it can't be.
"Link!", I immediately get up and jump into his arms giving him the biggest hug I could give him.
"I missed you so much." , I started crying into his shoulder. He just held me there letting me cry out all my fears and frustrations.
"Zelda, are you okay?", he asked me his eyes filled with concern. I just held him close to me.
"Link, it's been horrible here without you. I felt like I have been locked up in dungeon. I prayed and prayed you would be safe and come back to me. I thought you were dead. I almost stopped believing you would ever come back. But I knew you would. Link I ...", I started crying again. He's back he's finally back.
"Promise me Link; Promise me no matter what you will return to me. Promise me please. You know your my best friend, and if I lost you...", I was about to cry again but then he gave me another hug.
"Zelda, I will always come back. I promise no matter what I will return.", he said in his most confident and reassuring manner. This made me feel like the whole world was bathed in light. The feelings of loneliness and longing vanished from my heart, and were replaced with joy and happiness. Then I remembered what he did to me just a few moments ago and a mischievous idea popped into my head. I pushed him.
"Ow. What was that for?"
"That's for scaring me.", I replied giggling. "And this is for making me fall down.", I jumped on top of him and started tickling him.
"Zelda...hehehe...please...hahaha...stop...I can't breathe.", he was laughing so hard. It was funny; a moment ago I felt miserable and now with my best friend right here. I felt the happiest I have been in weeks.
"What's going on here? Zelda, who his this boy? Impa did you know about this?", my father appeared with Impa right besides him. This has never happened before. Normally, my father would send somebody to come and get me if he wanted to talk to me or he would send Impa to check up on me. But he never has come to check on me personally before.
"Guards seize him.", my father yelled at the guards. Within seconds Link was surrounded by twelve guards, and even more were coming on their way.
"No father please! He's my friend.", I pleaded for him to try to listen to me, to give me a chance to explain.
"Your friend? This boy is nothing more than a common criminal. He has trespassed onto this property and deserves to be punished."
"Please father! I beg of you don't punish him. I ordered him to come here.", I hoped my father wouldn't try to do anything rash.
"Zelda Hyrule you will explain everything or so help me I will throw this boy into the deepest dungeons in Hyrule.", my father threatened, his patience running thin.
"I order him here a few months ago to help me uncover the truth about the desert man. If it wasn't for him who knows what would have happen.", I said praying that my father would believe me.
"Is this true boy? Did you really help my daughter uncover the truth about Ganondorf?", I kept praying my father would believe link.
"Then prove it. What was Ganondorf planning?", he asked. Nobody in the kingdom was ever told about what he was planning. The only people who knew were my father, me, Link, Impa and the ancient sages who imprisoned him.
"He planned to gather the three spiritual stones and steal the royal family's treasure to open the door of time and enter the sacred realm to gain the power of the goddesses.", he replied calmly, with no hint of fear nor arrogance in his voice.
"Impossible. Nobody outside of the royal family knows that. That information was never disclosed to the public. So you really did help my daughter and my kingdom. I must apologize for my brash actions; you see Zelda is the last heir to the kingdom. Should anything happen to her the entire kingdom would be ruined." my father apologized to Link and ordered the guards to return to their posts.
"Impa see Sir Link outside once he Zelda are finish talking for it is getting late.", my father left and returned to the throne room.
"Well, I guess this is goodbye for today. You must comeback tomorrow and tell me of your adventures.", I gave him a quick hug goodbye and watched him walk away with Impa. That night I had the most peaceful sleep I had in a long time. Thank you goddesses.
A/N: This chapter took on a life of it's own and turned out not even resembling what I had in mind. But I think this is better. Well next chapter we have a Link telling his adventure and Zelda meets Malon. Please review and tell me what you think. Also tell me what you think about my idea. Thank you.
