Thank you LZfanatic12 and for your reviews!
Chapter 9 start
I pulled out a folded up paper.
"It's from Link," I told Impa.
Dear Zelda,
I know I haven't come to see you and I'm very sorry for that. I miss you so much. I'm not in Hyrule right now. I asked a messenger bird to give this to Impa, who then should've passed it on to you. I'm glad you were able to read this. I should be in the woods that surround your home by now. I plan on talking to David. I can't say much now but I'll explain everything when I get back. I promise. Don't give up on me just yet.
Love;
Link
I fell down on my bed. I couldn't believe that he didn't even say goodbye. I put my face in my hands and cried.
"Zelda! What's wrong!?" I heard Impa ask as she rushed to my side.
"No, it's nothing," I lifted my face and wiped away my tears, "nothing at all."
A few weeks had past and all I still hadn't heard anything from Link. Impa kept pestering me about 'getting out more' and 'there's more to Hyrule than these stone walls.' So, today we decided to start a little adventure of our own. We only planned to be gone for a week. I told Impa I would only go if I didn't have to wear a dress, I finally got her to agree, though it was like pulling teeth. So I packed shorts and some pants with short sleeve shirts and long sleeve shirts. An hour before we were supposed to leave I went to her room.
Knock Knock
"Who is it?" I heard Impa from the other side.
"It's Zelda"
"Oh! Come in," she said opening the door, "you don't have to knock."
"Still, I want to respect your privacy," I said smiling, "I have a favor to ask."
"What is it?"
"Do you mind if we stop by Ordon Village?"
"The village you used to live in?" I nodded, "I don't mind but, why? I thought you hated it there?"
"I did but I guess I didn't appreciate what I had until I lost it." I said looking down.
"You've matured a lot since you first arrived her almost four months ago." She said smiling warmly at me.
"I have? How?" I said surprised.
"It takes a mature young woman to admit that she was selfish. Your whole appearance has even changed I'm sure Davey and Sadie will be happy to see you."
"I hope so, I'll be happy to see them to. I have some questions I want to ask them as well."
Suddenly I heard a squawking sound and we looked toward the window. I saw a hawk flying toward the window. As it neared I saw it had a letter its claws. Impa walked on her balcony on held up her arm. The hawk stopped just above it and she took the letter. She said something like good girl then pulled out what looked like a treat from her pocket and gave it to the hawk. The hawk made a pleased sigh then flew off.
"I've been waiting for this," she said smiling.
"What is it?"
"It's a contract sort of thing that allows us to leave the Hyrule borders. I had a feeling you would want to go back to Ordon so I had this arranged."
"Impa, you did all that for me?!" I squealed happily. "Thank you so much!" I said as I gave her a big hug.
"Yes, yes, but shouldn't we be leaving?"
"Oh! Yeah we probably should!"
"Here," she said handing me a dark grew cloak, "wear this."
"Why?"
"If people find out you're the princess they might try to hurt you or do something bad. So I want you to wear this whenever we are traveling."
I slipped the cloak on, which fit quite nicely actually.
"So what's our names?" I asked.
"What?"
"If were in hiding we're going to have to call each other different names."
"Oh right. Okay then how about this; I'm Gwendolyn your cousin and I take care of you because you are weak and you wear that cloak because the sunlight pains your eyes. Your name will be…" she trailed off.
"Coco!" I said.
"That's a perfect name for you!"
I smiled at her praise. I then made sure I was wearing a dark dress. I put on a navy blue dress that had long sleeves and the bottom touched the ground. After we got our story straight and I changed we readied the carriage and were on our way.
