The crack closed behind me I stand there and looked all around trees, rocks, and sounds came from all around me. I then look up seeing for the first time a crescent moon with the brilliant stars shining nearby this world is was so beautiful I thought and it made me happy. I then begin to walk and I can now remember the time when me , my mother and my father all came here and went to someone, who was it again, oh that's right it was Link.

Smiling I walk quickly through the forest making it out by sun rise. The sun shown down lighting my pale vampire like skin making it simmers in the light. I approach the castle's draw bridge going inside, too early for people to be out so I quietly made to the castle gate and a guard stood there eyeing me very weirdly I then say "may I please speak to Link" the guard nodded walking away.

I folded my arms over my chest thankful that I grabbed that cloak from one of the stores in the castle town. My attention turns back to the gate seeing

Link approaching with a shocked yet surprised face. Once he made it to the gate all he could say is "Alisa is that you" "yes it is me". Link now opened the gate allowing me in.

"Ailsa what are you going out here" I sighed putting my head down saying "I had to run away I had to leave my land because it wasn't safe for me to stay". Link nodded his head then said "come lets go inside" I nodded my head and began to walk alongside him to the beautiful white castle. We made it inside and the castle had an open feeling to it, there were huge windows on each wall letting in large amounts of light in making the place look like it was glowing.

Link led me out into the garden, the garden was beautiful and it almost looked like the garden itself was waking up opening all its pretty flowers to the sun. Link led me to a bench and sat down next to me he then said "now Ailsa tell me what happen". I sighed looking down at the clean crisp grass and began.

"It started when this prince, Prince Elite came to my castle and as usual the prince would ask me for my hand in marriage, I refused it and then the next day my mother tells me that she and my father choose Elite to be my husband because they knew I would never pick one.

But I hate him" I looked up into Link's beautiful ocean blue saying sadly "I hate him and my parents don't see the monster that he is because the last two nights he just use me as a play toy, only for his needs, so I became sick of it and I ran away, I ran away from my castle, from the land I am soon to rule and I ended up here".

I finish looking down waiting for his answer. It was a few moments of silence before he spoke "Alisa so what I understand is that you don't want to marry this man but your being forced to marry him by your parents is that correct".

"yeah basically" I looked up at him and his eyes met mine, I stared into his eyes then said "please Link don't make me go back there because I know if I go they'll lock me away in my room and the wedding will just be sooner, they'll never believe me" I finished feeling tears well up in my eyes.

Link had a sad expression he then said "sure you can stay" "oh thank you Link, thank you so much" I said now hugging him really tight.

I pulled back and he was now smiling he then said "here why don't I show you to your room" "yeah" I nodded my head. We now stood and he led me back into the castle. We made to the second floor and now down the hall until he came to a stop.

He turned opening the door and the room was beautiful. There was a bed right in the middle of the room and right above the headboard was a huge window letting the sun fall right onto the bed. There was a glass door that led out to a patio where the sun shown all around it.

I turned around seeing Link still there "oh thank you Link so much" "your welcome and please make yourself as comfortable as possible" "Thanks you I say finally before running to my bed plopping down on it closing my eyes.

I could hear Link laugh and then the door was closed. I laided there on the bed burring my face in the pillows, and soon falling asleep, yes I thought maybe my life didn't suck after all.

Back in the shadow realm at the castle the castle was being turned upside down, every guard, maid, and servant searched the premises of the castle looking for Ailsa. Elisa, Alisa's mother crying tears sat in the dining room while her husband Dark Link hugged her trying to comfort him.

"Where could she have gone" Elisa sobbed clutching onto her husband's shirt as it was becoming soaked with tears, "I mean I know she mad but I didn't think-" Elisa couldn't finish beginning to cry some more. Dark Link stroked her back saying slowly "we'll find her". And right as he said that a guard came in.

Dark Link turned his attention to the guard saying "have you found her" "no sir I'm afraid not it seems that she is not even in the castle she must of gone outside somewhere" "fine search the city ask every person if they seen the princess and even search beyond that" "yes sir" the guard nodded walking fast out the dining room doors.

I a woke staring at the bright sunlight that came through my window almost blinding my eyes, I squint slightly then sat up stretching my arms above my head . I smiled then slide out of bed walking into the bathroom and closing the door. Not bothering on looking at my reflection I quickly jump into the shower letting the steamy water runs over my skin. It washed away all the dirt from the forest leaving my skin seaky clean.

Wrapping a towel around my waist and stepping back out into my room when I heard a knock at my door. Walking over and opening it I see a maid holding my breakfast in her hands. "Here is your breakfast" she said sweetly holding it out. "thank you" I said taking the food and boy did it look good. I smile closing the door and walking over to the small couch and sat on it. I begin to devour the food before me, I stuff I mouth with spoonful's of it, the taste incredible. When I was done I licked the bowl clean not even leaving a drop. I set the plate down on the table wiping my face with my arm. I felt like a pig but at the moment that food tasted way better then the food back at home I always wondered how I am still so skinny when I ate so much.

I stood now walking into the closet surprised that the closet even had some closes inside maybe this room used to belong to my mother, shrugging my shoulders suddenly not caring I see a pretty dress , I pulled it out walked out of the closet laying on to my bed, now I just need some under garments. Finding some cute pink ones I put them one then my dress, combing my hair straight and letting it fall down my back. I now stared at my reflection smiling perfect. Walking out of the bathroom I hear a knock at my door, I went to open it seeing Link. Link was smiling wearing some casual clothes and his hair all messy. "hi" I said happy to see him. Link then began "hi Ailsa I was wondering if you might like to go outside with me" "sure Link" I said since I really didn't have nothing better else to do.

He smiled turning beginning to walk down the hall and I just followed behind "so" I began "where are we going" "I don't know" Link said now running his fingers through his hair "maybe to Lake Hylia ever been there" "no, but it sounds fun" "it is fun" he said finally as he approached the castle entrance and left.

We walked through the now busy castle town making our way out to Hyrul field. Once we were out there I looked around the sun beating down warming my skin and the birds that would fly by. I closed my eyes taking in the smell of the air. I never smelt such pure air, so clean, vibrant air, and not the smell of blood and coldness. "Ailsa" I heard my name making me open my eyes seeing Link with his eyebrow raised.

Link then continued "are coming" "yeah" I said now walking towards him now noticing the weird animal like thing that stood by him. "Wow what is that" I said pointing my finger. Link raised his eyebrow with a smirk at his lips then said "it's a horse silly" "wow" I breathed coming next to it and petting it. "What's its name" I said still staring at the beautiful horse "her name is Epona" Link said coming close to pet her mussel "I had her since I was a little kid and she stuck by me ever since". "Wow" I said again I couldn't take my eyes off of her, she was so beautiful, and magnificent. Link then said now turning to face me "well get on" "get on what" I replied confused. "Epona silly". I stared at him like he's crazy saying "I'm supposed to get on her" "yeah why you never got on a horse before" Link said mocking me.

"no, but I can try" "ok try". I gave Link one last odd look before approaching Epona, me assuming that I should get on her back so i now tried lifting or I should say pulling myself onto the horse but no good I couldn't get my foot over her high back.

I glanced at Link seeing that he had a laughing face on watching me, I turned my head back and tried once more but this time instead of not getting it I lost my balance falling to the ground. I could hear Link silently laughing. I pouted standing up looking at the horse. Maybe if I try jumping I could -, I was interrupted by feeling someone just
lift me on the horse.

I look down to see Link now getting on in front of me "I could of done it" I said crossing my arms over my chest. "yeah, yeah just hold on would you" I groaned regretingly but wrapped my arms around his waist and we were off.

We rode fast with my hair blow behind me. We were now approaching a high gate looking like it was blocking of the other part beyond it. I then said "how are we going to get over that gate" "you'll see" was his reply as we neared the gate. I started panicking saying "were gonna crash" "no were not just calm down". And in the few seconds on approaching the gate I closed my eyes scared for my life. I then felt that we went up then down.

I opened my eyes seeing that we were past the gate and continued riding "see I told you" Link said still looking straight ahead. "Whatever" I said.

We were now in a huge open area with a vast lake stretching wide around the place. Link slowed down to a halt saying "this is Lake Hylia". "wow" I breath getting off the horse and looking around , I could see a house that looked like no one was living there, then a bride that led to a smaller land followed by another bridge leading to another land with a dead tree on it.

I felt Link now stand beside me then he said "come on". I looked at him as he led the way, we were approaching one of the bridges that seemed really wobbly. I watched Link start to walk on it watching it sway slightly under him. I stayed put on the ground not sure if that bridge was strong enough. I watch Link turn around to me saying "aren't you coming" "yeah, but is this bridge safe" "sure it is" he responded now coming back in front of me taking my hand. "come on we'll walk together" "ok" I said stepping onto the bridge.

We were now on the second one almost across. Once we made it I breathed a sigh of relief. I watched Link go and sit next to the dead tree under the shade. I followed behind sitting next to him. The grass felt so soft and warm as I sat on it. I then looked up staring at the vast lake, the blue water flowing ever so lightly on the surface and the sun would be reflected back.

It was beautiful and it made me sad that almost all my life I never got to see some of the beauty of Hyrul field to be able to explore and learn more about this kind and caring place but instead I was always in a castle all day, seeing nothing but shadow and darkness, it can get annoying from time to time.

My attention was turned back to Link as I now see him lying down on the grass with his hands behind his head closing his eyes, he looked so peaceful. I then say "so do you do this often". I watched as he opened his eyes and sat up looking at the water then he began thoughtful "no I never found the reason to do this" "oh well why not" " because you see every time ever I loved someone or had feeling towards them Dark Link always took that person away whether it was that he killed them, or already had them for his own, and I grew to be alone thinking that I'll never find someone that suits well someone that understands and will listen to my feeling rather than pushing them away" we both finished at the same time.

I looked up at Link seeing that he was facing me then said "I feel your pain, I mean not part where my father is taking away all the people that you love but, wanting to find that special person that will understand what I want and not always assume that I want something" Link became thoughtful almost too thoughtful now looking away at the water , then he turned back quickly now with a smile he then said "wanna go swimming" the question caught me off guard but I then say "sure".

I watched Link stand up and I stood up too, now taking off my flats setting them on the ground, then tying my hair in a ponytail leaving my dress on. I turned my attention to Link seeing that he took off his shirt.

I could feel my mouth drop open as I saw Link looking very nice if I must say. He was of average height and build his biceps strong, his chest tight and stomach flat I realized that I was slightly drooling and had to look away. "ready" he called making my head turn back to him "yeah" I replied. He smiled now taking my hand into his and we both started running toward the edge of the land.

We both then jump now falling into the cool temperature water, we were both beneath the surface smiling at each other while we were still holding hands. We both came up and I smiled saying "that was so much fun" "yeah" he agreed now running his fingers through his wet hair to get it out of his face. I turn starting to swim around him, he had an eyebrow raised wondering what I was up to.

I stop then sink down below, now underneath the surface, I could see the bottom of the lake floor. I now came back up smiling at Link, who was now laying on his back allowing the water to hold him up I now did the same staring up into the sky noticing that it was the afternoon now. "so" Link began "when did you learn how to swim". I Smile then said "well back at home we had a river in our garden so ever so often I teach myself how to swim and it also came in handy when I didn't want my mother to find me." "hmm interesting" he said jokingly .

"what about you" I finish smiling "oh I just always knew how to swim I can guess that it was just a nature trait that I have" he finished now the smiling leaving his lips.

We both stayed quite for the rest of the afternoon just watching the beautiful sunset I then here Link began "you know this has to be the best day that I can remember". I slightly smile saying "me too I never had this much fun when I didn't have to be protected all my life" "well I'm glad we got to spend this time together you know" Link finished as I now watched him sit up from the water smiling.

I did the same now as we swam back to the land. I got out dripping wet , I sighed now squeezing my hair free of water, and my dress knowing that it would do no good and I would just have to walk home like this. I turn to Link seeing that he already had his shirt on and was now heading towards the bridge. I quickly follow after and we soon made it back to Epona.

Getting on Epona and wrapping my arms around Link's waist I rested my head against his back closing my eyes as we rode back to the castle. It was night now so it made the moon and stars light up the sky.

I soon fall asleep too tired to stay up after along and fun filled day hoping that every day spent with Link would be just like it.

I woke up with the sun beating my eyes, and squint them open, I now noticed that this wasn't my room, and I could feel someone else in this same bed. Slowly getting up my eyes widen Link was Sleeping right next to me. I could feel the blood rush to my cheeks as I quickly get out of bed. And he just rolled over still undistributed. I look down at myself seeing the same the same clothes that I had on from last night and my hair a mess.

What happened last night because the only thing I could remember was falling to sleep on the way home. I stood there watching him becoming less mad and watched as he slept he looked so peaceful almost too perfect. His blonde hair falling slightly falling into his face and the sun.

Sighing I left Link's room quietly letting him sleep, I somehow made it to my room and went in closing the door behind me and now sitting on my bed staring out the window. I sighed laying down closing my eyes, and falling asleep once again.

Back in the shadow realm it's been two day without finding Ailsa and her mother Elisa was becoming concerned with worry. In less than two weeks it would be next month the month of Ailsa's birthday and the day she would take the throne. Search parties still roamed the shadow land and still no sigh of Ailsa. Elite came in the dining room walking towards Ailsa's mother, Elisa as she still cried softly staring at the tables and Dark Link stood behind her talking to some guards.

Elite approached them then said "my lady Elisa" "yes" Elisa said looking up at Elite. "do you know where Ailsa may have ran to" " I don't know that girl would get lost very easily almost too easily" she stopped thinking. "oh maybe" Elisa now straightening up "honey" she said now addressing Dark Link who turned saying "yes". "I think I know where Ailsa may be" "where" "she could of gone to the light realm".

Dark Link nodded saying "yeah that's the only place we haven't checked" Dark Link turned back to the guard saying "gather the men were going to—" he was cut off by Elite clearing his throat. Elite then said "um I can just go and get her you know instead of sending a huge army after her why don't I go and get her and she'll be home before you know it". Elisa and Dark Link ponder on that then said "fine but make sure you bring her back ok" Elisa said looking at Elite "I promise she'll be as good as she was before".

"oh thank you Elite so much see you are the perfect husband for her" Elisa said hugging him then pulling away. "No problem my lady I'm always here to serve you" Elite smiled turning around and walking away.

Oh don't worry Ailsa you will be mine once again. Smiling evilly towards himself he left the dining room and out the castle on to find Ailsa.

It was night now and I was so tired all day I spent time with Link first we went into castle town and we played a game of shooting money he won a cool teddy bear for me it was great, next we went fishing I hated it because every time a fish caught on to my fishing string it would swim away so in the end I ended up with up with one fish while Link had ten show off, next we got some ice cream and ate it while we sat outside in Hyrul Field, and now we were both in the garden drinking some ice tea that the maids made for us.

"What a fun day right" Link said quietly as he watched the sunset "yeah and exhausting one too" "yeah". Link then looked up saying "how about we go get something to eat" "yeah" I said getting up myself I had to brush the grass off of my dress saying "yeah I'm pretty hungry myself".

Link then took my hand and stared to leading me back into the castle, wow his hand felt so nice in mine he made my skin warm up to his. We entered the dining hall and we sat down together. A maid came out serving the food in front of us; it was spaghetti and meatballs yum I begin to eat now looking up feeling Link's gaze on my face.

"yes" I said now smiling "nothing" he shook his head looking down then beinging "it's just that I like hanging out with you and that I kind of like you". He finished looking down and I smiled then said "how much do you like me". He looked up at me and my eyes became lost in his and he said "well I like, like you as in love you".

I blushed did he really like me like that I now looked down feeling all mushy and stuff then began "well Link I like you too". I peeked up seeing him smile and then he said "well that's good it makes everything less acquired" I smiled saying "yeah less Acquired".

We finished our meal and he now lead me back to my room and we stood there facing each other I then begin "so about last night what happened" "oh last night" Link said scratching the back of his head, "well um when we got back home and you were already sleep so –" I smiled hushing him with my finger "its ok you don't need to say anymore".

Link smiled then said "thank god" I laughed looking back into his eyes and he stared into mine. I watched as our faces became increasingly close and there was only a slight gap between me and him and then it was closed.

My lips meet his, his lips. They were soft smooth warm and kind. There was nothing but love in the kiss, I could feel him arm his arms around my waist and I wrapped my arms around his neck. The kiss never broke.

My head swam in a daze nothing mattered no more all the worry drifted away leaving just pure happiness. We both pull apart and I can see his face flushed . I smiled and he smiled once more before we stood staring at each other. Link then said a quick "good night" walking down the hall I could tell that he was just as embarrassed as I was. I smiled turning to go in my room.

I open my door and go in and closed it now pressing my back against the door I couldn't believe what just happened I smiled even more knowing that we both like each other and there was nothing to hide anymore. That's when I hear someone's voice speak "Hello Alisa" I recognized the voice immediately and shooting my eyes open I see him.

Standing there near my window in the dark with now the curtains closed, stood Elite I gasped slightly whispering "Elite".
