Chapter 2: The meeting
The sun had just risen in the quiet village of Kakariko. Ike and his brother sat in the kitchen, conversing about what to do this morning. They heard the door open and smiled assuming that their caretaker, Impa was home. "Good morning Miss Impa," they screamed in unison.
As expected, Impa entered the room smiling and returned the statement, "Good Morning boys. Are the girls awake yet?"
Ike shook his head and opened his mouth to answer, but before he could a fairy flew into the room. She seemed to search the place before stating to Impa, "Wow, this is a nice little house. You live here now, Impa?"
Impa nodded and went to the stove. The boys were still staring openly at the fairy, who flew over and greeted them, "Hello there! My name is Navi! You too are being taken care of by Impa, I suppose?" Marth nodded and Ike let out a quiet 'yes'. Navi continued, "Well it's nice to meet you. You two must be Marth and Ike. Impa told us a bit about you on the way here."
Ike looked around the room and asked dumbly, "Us? There's someone else here?" Navi seemed to glance around as well.
"Link, get you ass in here!!" Ike and Marth exchanged confused looks. Before they could add any statement, a young man around Zelda's age walked into the room. He was tall, had blond hair, and was garbed in a green tunic and cap.
Link gazed at the boys, giving a wave, before asking Impa a question in her ear. Impa nodded and pointed to the staircase. "It's the second room on the left, Link." Link smiled and nodded to the woman before heading toward the stairs.
Ike stood up and asked loudly, "What does this man want with, Zelda?!" Link looked at him, a look of confusion on his face. "Does he want to take Zelda away? Well, Miss Impa, does he? I won't let him! Zelda's my sister now! Zelda, Marth, Peach and I are a family now! I won't let her go," he screamed forcefully.
Marth reached out and grasped his brother hand gently. Ike was in tears now, but was able to calm himself a bit. Marth started grimly, "Ike, I told you. This is the boy Zel's been dreaming about. He's gonna help her with her memories. She needs to get them back. You remember how she killed that Moblin yesterday? Well, Zelda has a right to learn again. We can't be selfish about this. I love her too, Bro, but this has to be done. Please, Link, go see her now. Wake her if you want to." Link nodded and made his way up the stairs.
Link opened the door to Zelda's room with a low creak. He examined the room the find a sleeping Zelda, garbed in a silver nightgown. Tears began gathering in his eyes, but he shook them off. No, I refuse to cry until Zelda's back to normal. Be strong, Link! He silently made his way over to the sleeping girl. He placed a hand on her shoulder and rocked her gently, attempting to wake her. Her cerulean eyes soon opened, bringing a smile to his face.
When Zelda woke that morning, she expected to see Ike's smiling face. What a shock it was when she was met by the boy from her dreams! She opened her eyes and found herself staring into deep cobalt eyes instead of dark navy blue ones.
A gasp escaped her lips as she backed away a bit. "No don't be frightened! I do not wish to harm you, Zelda," a masculine voice explained soothingly. I know this voice. No…it couldn't be! Zelda stared into the handsome boy's face. Upon further evaluation, she found that he was the hero she had dreams about.
By now, Zelda's face was as red as an apple. Link couldn't help but chuckle at this. The girl's head cocked to the side. Confusion, however, quickly turned to anger. Who the hell does this guy think he is?! I'll show him! "What are you laughing at?!" Link held his mouth in a failed attempt to stop laughing.
"Y-your face is so red," he laughed, his own face turning red now. Zelda was floored now. A loud 'smack' rang through the room. It took awhile before Link realized he had been slapped. The stinging pain and smirk on Zelda's fair lips explained enough. "Well, I missed you too. Geez, Zel…if you want to play it that way, then I'll just go back to being depressed and lonely," he stated blankly. He stood and turned his back to her.
The boy's words seemed to sting for some reason. She screamed out in response as she jumped to his side, "Oh, Link! You're such a cry baby!" Link's head jolted in her direction. Zelda, too, was extremely surprised by her own outburst. How the heck do I know his name?! Though, I do like the way it sounds…Link. A smile graced her lips as she uttered his name to herself a few more times, enjoying how it just rolled off her tongue.
Ike began to worry the intentions of this 'Link' person as the screams of both Link and Zelda erupted from her room. Soon after the screams halted, Link came tearing down stairs. His face was crimson and he was holding his nose. Navi was the first to say something to the boy who was now engaged in hitting his head on the wall repeatedly. "Link, what's wrong? Did you and Zelda have an argument?"
Link turned around, his face still red. He answered her by shaking his head and continued his self torture. Zelda strode down stairs a few seconds later in an aqua colored dress, giggling warmly. She eyed Link before teasing him, "What's the matter, Linky? I warned you beforehand, you chose not to listen."
"You told me and then did it like two seconds later! Evil temptress," Link wailed, glaring at Zelda from afar. Zelda broke out into laughter again, walking over to Link and hugging him. Link hugged back warmly, noticing how the girl relaxed against him.
"Woah! I didn't know Zellie had a boyfriend," Peach's voice came as she walked into the room. The group of Ike, Marth, Peach, Impa and Navi began to converse, while Zelda and Link stayed to themselves.
"Hey, Link," Zelda whispered to Link, "Let's go to the lake real quick. We can come back when breakfast is ready." Link nodded and the two slipped out of the room, completely unnoticed.
The sun still had not completely come into view, making the horizon shine in a beautiful array of colors. Link gazed at Zelda, who appeared to be deep in thought. He grasped her hand lightly, drawing her gaze. "What are you thinking about?"
Zelda smiled in response and answered, "I'm just thinking that all of this is happening so fast. One day, I'm a normal village girl and the next…well; I'm not sure what I am now. But, I am curtain that I'm far from normal. I'm kind of scared because so far, I've only remembered painful things. That's all."
Link watched with a heavy heart as his beloved princess explained her torment to him. He wanted to simply take her into his arms and kiss her passionately, forgetting all else in the process. Alas, he knew better. I can't take things that fast. She barely remembers who I am, much less what our relation is. I'll just have to take things slow with her for now.
"Well, you know, Zelda. I'll always be here for you. I only came here to help you. If you need anything, just tell me," he cooed lovingly, smiling to himself. Zelda's grasp on his hand tightened as she nodded.
As she placed her head on his shoulder, Zelda whispered, "Link, thank you so much."
A/N: Thanks for reading! I know there may have been some confusion on why exactly Link was blushing and hitting his head on the wall. I'll be explaining that in the next one or two chapters. Please review! I love the reviews I've been getting! It keeps me writting!
Thanks!
