Hello, guys!
Sorry I haven't updated in so long, but I'm getting better with it. Exams at school finally ended, but now we have a horde of homework to do... and on Superbowl night, too! So here you are, a new, but REALLY short chapter.
If I finish my homework soon, I'll probably have the 4th chapter up tonight as well, because I know exactly what I want to put in it.
Dang homework.
And now I can't watch the superbowl, because I haven't finished my homework, so my friends are secretly texting me and telling me whats happening! I hope Ravens win. Enjoy.
(Time skip to springtime)
The early, dim rays of dawn crept past my curtains and into my room, landing right on my face as I lay in bed. I groaned and mumbled to myself a little bit, turning over onto my stomach and stuffing my face deep into my pillow. I sighed contentedly and lay there for some time, until my back began to warm up.
I slowly sat up in my bed, rubbing my eyes and yawning. I stood up, curling my toes a little bit because of the cold, bare floor. I walked over to my window and pulled the curtains apart, allowing the dim light rays to brighten up my room to some extent. Since it was still early, the rays weren't that bright at all- just a small glow.
Looking out the window, I saw what I expected to see- a still, quiet village. Everybody was still asleep- nobody woke up as early as I did.
Nobody really understood why I would wake up this early. I mean, I couldn't really tell them that there was a sacred spring in the woods and I needed to go there early so nobody would follow me. When somebody asked me why I woke up so early, I would merely shrug my shoulders and change the subject.
Apart from the fact that I needed to get to the spring early, I also just liked waking up early. The whole village was sleeping and peaceful, and there was nobody there to bother me. No annoying village boys. The air was always more fresh in the morning than later during the day, anyways.
I tore my gaze from the window and walked to my small, oak desk, which was next to my bed. On the chair, there hung one of my springtime dresses.
This dress was a lot different than the one I would wear in the winter, obviously. The ones that I wore in the winter had long sleeves, a collar, and the skirt came down to my ankles. My springtime dress, the one hanging on my chair, was sleeveless, had a scoop neckline, and the skirt came down a little past my knees. In some other parts of Hyrule, winters were very cold and summers were very hot. But in Blackberry Falls, the springtime is rather warm as well, so I never wear anything on top of my dress. The winters are cold, though, and my mother makes me wear a huge coat.
Sliding off my pink nightgown, I put on my blue dress. It was a rather plain dress, really, but it matched my eyes. Most girls liked the color pink more than blue, but I liked the blue color more. The only reason why I ever wore a pink nightie is because my grandfather gave it to me.
I walked to the other side of my room and stood in front of my small, scratched mirror, smoothing my blond hair down as best as I could with my hands, not bothering to find my comb. I know my father wouldn't approve of not combing my hair, but he had taken Allegra and went off on a business trip to Castle Town, not to be back until dinner tonight or tomorrow. Giving it a final pat, I made my bed rather sloppily before grabbing my journal and pen (which i tucked in my journal) and tiptoeing silently out of the room, making sure to close the door firmly behind me.
Straight in front of me was the narrow staircase leading downstairs to the main floor. To get to my parents' bedroom, you would need to go in an 'L' shape from my current position. You would need to turn left and walk past the end of the stair rail, and then turn left again and go down the hallway. My parents' bedroom was straight at the end of the hallway.
I made my way to my parents' room.
I tiptoed down the hall, being wary of creaking wooden boards. I passed the door to the small bathroom, which the entire family used. Arriving at my parents' door, which was slightly ajar, I opened it a little more and poked my head in. My mother was sprawled out across the bed, snoring slightly.
My parents had a rather nice room. Their bed was right in the center of the room, and it was covered with white sheets and blankets and pillows. They had a desk to the right of the bed, which was clean and neat. My mother had her own small desk next to her side of the bed as well- which had a mirror leaning on it and some of my mother's beauty supplies, such as her hair nets and clips. There were two windows in the room, one next to each desk. It was a rather symmetrical room- bed in the middle, a desk on each side, and a window on each side.
Sighing softly, I closed the door slightly and tiptoed back to the stairs. I climbed down, watching out for the steps that squeaked. I reached the bottom of the stairs.
To my right was the family room. There was a large fireplace in the wall. Two soft, red chairs and a long couch gathered around it in a semi-circle. The front door was behind all of the chairs. The fireplace was almost always lit in the winter, but we never had a need to light it in the spring or summer.
I turned left and into the kitchen. In the far corner of the room, there was a small, round table where my family and I ate. A little above it, there was a round-shaped window letting in some light. In front of me was the counter, where my mother prepared food. Next to the counter was another fireplace where my mother cooked the food and boiled the tea.
I walked over to the table and grabbed a ripe apple from the basket of fruits on the table. I never bother to make a real breakfast because it takes too long, and I'm an awful cook. My mother, on the other hand, makes the best bacon and eggs possible. But since shes never awake as early as me, I usually just grab a fruit and stuff it in my mouth before running out the door.
I then walked back out of the kitchen and in to the living room, diary in one hand, apple in the other. I set them both down on a chair as I pulled on my boots [A/N- imagine the boots Zelda had on in Skyward Sword in the beginning of the game].Taking one last look around the room, I grabbed my things and swung the front door open.
I stepped onto the porch quietly and remembered not to slam the door. The sun was just beginning to really rise, as I could see in the east. The air was a little humid, but not too unpleasantly so. There was a very slight breeze, but thats just how I liked it.
The village is still, quiet. I could hear the sound of the waterfall rushing near my house, and the gentle, soothing sound of the stream. The sky was tinged with pink, hints of the sunrise.
Smiling brightly, I turned and walked down the steps and went across my yard to the back of my house. The trail in the forest that I needed to take started there.
I continued my way down the path, keeping my head down tucked into my chest as I thought hard about some things. I knew this path so well I didn't have to look up any more. A breeze blew gently and I watched the green grass to the side of the path ruffle a bit in the wind.
After a couple minutes, I reached the clearing, and looked up.
But what I saw in front of me was not something I saw everyday.
Cliffie! What do you think it was? I know exactly what it was... *cackle*
Oh, and I finally got a new 3ds to replace my old one! I had a regular Nintendo 3ds before, but now the screen is all scratched up and there are fingerprints all over it so I finally bought a new 3ds XL to replace it. It was a pretty good deal, 200 bucks for a rarely used blue console and extra styluses and Pokemon Black and Ocarina of Time 3D and all the equipment. Pretty good, no?
SO thats that. I am going to go finish my homework now. So I can start and maybe post another chapter tonight.
Oh, and btw... I'm really sad. My last chapter only got one review, and I feel bad. Can you guys please review? It makes my day, it really does.
Thanks, Emmie.
P.S. Keep a lookout- Valentine's Day is coming up! I'm probably going to post at least one Zelink oneshot, if not two or three, on Valentine's day as a treat for you all. And if you like Harry Potter JamesxLily look out for that too. Check out my profile for more information on the couples I might be writing about. If you have a request, or an idea, don''t hesitate to inform me by review or PM. Bye now!
