Chapter Four: Sunrise
Inside the temple of time Link sat on the pedestal of time. 'Where could the princess be?' he wondered. Grumpily, he strained his mind to come up with some idea that would tell him where he could go to rescue her.
'Hello Link… How are you…' the princess voice entered his mind.
'ZELDA!! WHERE ARE YOU! Are you ok? SHADOW hasn't done anything has he?' Link mentally screamed to Zelda. He could hear her laughing in his mind. It calmed him slightly.
'Yes Link, I'm perfectly fine, the shadow has been a perfect gentleman,' she reassured him
'Where are you?' he asked hurriedly picking up his stuff from the temple of time.
'Lake Hylia, and by the way you didn't answer my question… how are you?" Zelda asked trying to retain the laughter in her voice.
'No time now Zelda be there soon.' He replied as he bounded out of the temple.
Zelda's connection was broken with Link. He was worried about her and not in the mood to joke. Then something hit her did she really want to be rescued? YES!! She told her self. She didn't want to be handed over to Gannondorf! Was a she nut?
The sun was slowly rising and Link was on his way, soon all this confusion would end.
She smiled kindly at the napping shadow lying in front of her. She should probably at least wake him before Link came. She lightly shook the shadow as he stirred. He rolled over and looked at her with those intense gray eyes. A chill went down her spine and she shuttered.
"What is it princess?" the shadow asked. "I…was…um…. bored?" she quickly lied. The shadow seemed to buy it as he sat up and yawned.
Link was about to call Epona when he remembered the warping songs and mentally slapped himself. "How could I have been so stupid?" the hero asked as he quickly played the Serenade of water. As he warped to the top of the water temple he looked down at the beach to see something that made his blood boil.
"GET YOUR SLEEZY HANDS OFF HER!!" Link bellowed.
Slightly before Link's appearance:
Zelda looked at the Shadow still amazed at how much the two looked alike.
"Bored you say…" The shadow asked sneakily.
"A little." The princess replied. A malicious grin spread across the shadows face.
"TICKLE FIGHT" he yelled and pounced on the princess. He playfully tickled her and pinned her. He looked down into her sapphire eyes. She laughed and kicked as he tickled her sides. Finally he couldn't stand it any longer. The urge got to great and before he knew what he was doing he had his lips on hers. At first she was surprised but Zelda melted into the kiss. Before the shadow could push it any farther the voice he hated most rang through the air.
"GET YOUR SLEEZY HANDS OFF HER!!" his opposite yelled coming towards them.
As Link charged his sword barley missed the rising shadow's head. The princess lay in the sand in shock. The two battled until the shadow was away from the princess and Link swooped in and grabbed her and whistled for Epona. As the faithful horse neared her master, Link put Zelda on her saddle before jumping on himself. He slapped the reigns and they left leaving the shadow standing in her tracks.
'Wow' princess thought. 'This is like that game hot potato.
