Chapter 4

Right before I got my head sliced off by the Moblin's blade, it was stopped by Link who jumped in front of me. The creature and him were both struggling to beat the other by being stronger as they pushed their blades against the others.

As Link stood in front of me I realized I had to help him. He was struggling to hold the Moblin's weapon away. I drew an arrow out from its case and then my bow, holding them both up. If I aimed wrong I could kill Link….

If I missed…

But if I didn't do something soon….

My feet wouldn't let me move because I was so scared. But I closed my eyes and took a quick breath.

Think of what you came here for Vena…

To fight.

Think of Link.

I drew the arrow back even farther and then after re-aiming it, I released, sending it zipping through the air, skimming by Links ear and then directly into the Moblins face, sending it keeling backwards in pain.

Link gasped, "Shit Vena!"

"Are you alright?" I grabbed his arm, frightened I hurt him.

"Your aim is amazing!" he finished.

I let out a breath of relief and hugged him, "Can we please go back?"

He wrapped his arms around my waist, "Sure."

As we were riding back I stared up at him, riding a few feet in front of me. He sat strongly on his horse, like a warrior. But I wasn't about to be his lady who just sat in the castle all day as he fought the bad guys. No way, I was going to be right next to him kicking those flabby monsters butts.

"Link?" I called, he slowed down and I brought Cyprus up next to him.

"Why were those things here?" I asked, he continued to stare at the trail.

"A lot of things live in this forest, some good and some bad. Moblins are bad," he told me. "If they found the castle they would have tried to burn it down or something like that."

"Oh," I said, not sure what else to say to him. We rode in silence the rest of the way.

After I watched him put Epona away as I directed Cyprus into his stall, we stood in the middle of the barn not saying anything.

I was about to ask him if he was mad at me but he caught me in mid-sentence by grabbing my around the waist with one hand, pulling me to him tightly. He put his other hand behind my head, touching my long hair and pushed his lips to mine. I stood there for a moment before he broke the silence.

"You should go back. I'm gonna stay here and clean out a few of the stalls," he told me.

"Alright," I nodded, and kissed him one more time before walking out.

"Vena?" he stopped me when I reached the barn doors.

"Hmm?"

"I was only acting weird before because I wasn't sure what to say. I got nervous again."

I smiled at him, "What did I say about being nervous."

He laughed then I left for the castle, smiling the whole way.
