Chapter 10 [Yeah, 10 chapters! whoop!]

Zelda's P.O.V

I couldn't believe what Link had just told me... Veronica protected Vaati? And he is back!?

I walked back and forth slowly, for my life energy was still drained. Eventually, I stopped and sat down. "This doesn't seem right, why is Vaati back, Veronica protecting him, and calling you a traitor?" I asked Link

He simply looked at me, then polished his sword.

"Link?" I asked

"...Zelda...for the last time...I don't know why she did it." Link replying (it sounded more of a hiss to me) unhappy of what happened in the last few days.

"Come on Link, maybe she was under a spell...I think..." I said halfheartedly

"But what if she wasn't, what if she did that on her will Zelda. Then we know we shouldn't have trusted her...at all." Link replied, his piercing eyes settling on me, "and she could have been a spy all along and I didn't know it."
His eyes went to the floor in a moment, and he turned his back to me. "She could have killed you Zelda..." I looked up at him, my face a light pink at his words.

'She could have killed you Zelda...'

I got up and sat next to him. His face was downcast, and I longed for the smile that usually brightened the day. I smiled sadly at him, and put my hand on his shoulder. "We will find out in time...I promise..."

"And what if you can't fulfill that promise Zelda?" Link asked, staring at me again. I silenced myself. He looked away, at Epona, who nipped a few fresh blades of grass. I stood up and whispered, "Link, I care for you..." Then walked away.

...

I sat inside the small cabin Link had made over the days. He hadn't said anything to me for a while. I was making him an extra satchel when Link came in.

"Zelda, I'm sorry for being a grumpy, annoying, downcast jerk." Link suddenly apologized, "you deserve a better hero than me."

I looked at him surprised, and smiled faintly. "But you are the better hero. You just need to smile..."

I leaned toward him, and he leaned toward me, I closed my eyes feeling the gap between us start to disappear. But I stopped. I opened my eyes and saw Link staring at me, and I was doing the same thing. He had stopped. I blushed heavily, and walked away.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't do that Link." I said sadly, though I really wanted to.

Link's P.O.V

I stopped short, remembering she was a royal princess and I was just a knight. Nothing would bring us together to stay, since I wasn't royal. I sighed, and watched Zelda look away. She was so beautiful, and I really wanted to kiss her, but I stopped short. Something kept me away from her. For some reason...

She continued to make another satchel, which I assumed was for her. I left the cabin and went to collect firewood. I put my shield and sword on my back and walked toward the small group of trees that was the closest. Epona followed me, with the wood basket tied to the saddle. I started chopping down a tree, when I heard a faint rustle nearby some bushes. I stopped, pulled my sword out of the tree and walked quietly toward the bush.

I sliced into the bushes, and a small whimper came out. "Uhm, hello?" I asked approaching. I saw a bunny hop out and look at me.

That is so cute...oh my never mind I take that back!

I jumped backwards as that monster transformed and tried to kill me. I charged, rolling around the monster until I could find the weak spot. It's small fluffy tail was the target. I jumped over its arms, and stabbed the tail. It took a small while before the monster was finally dead, and vanished in a pile of black dust.

I was now a dirty heap of sweat and monster - oh never mind, this is a K+ story - and walked over to the river. I jumped in, and swam back out. I was nearly clean, but I was soaked...to the bone...yep. I walked back to my chore and started chopping the wood until I had a good pile. I then went back to the cabin and brought it in. I went back out and lead Epona into the small fenced yard, then I shut the fence and walked back inside. This time, however, Zelda noticed I was dripping wet. I walked over to the fire trying to dry off, but that barely did anything - unless I jumped into it - and went to the curtain corner [or in other words, the 'changing corner' which was covered by a curtain]. I changed out of the armor, and came out wearing my old village clothing. They still fit, but I felt a bit weird in it, and pulled off my shirt. And Zelda was looking. I looked at her, and she turned tomato red, before looking away at her mending work.

Was she staring at me the entire time?!

I put the shirt back on and sat next to her. She wouldn't make eye contact but she was blushing even more when I sat next to her. I smiled faintly.

"Zelda, were you looking at me? Or admiring?" I asked a grin on my face

She looked at me, "I was...er...admiring?" She didn't sound to convincing. "Yep, you were really looking at me weren't you." I replied, laughing when she blushed to a fire-red, "you're even beautiful when you do that!" She playfully smacked me, and laughed along.

Veronica's P.O.V

I woke up in a beautiful room, and saw a blue dress laid out before me. I put it on, and walked to the mirror, a scroll was sitting beside it, with the seal of a tornado. I opened it.

Dear Veronica,

Vaati, is waiting for you in the dining area. Get suitably dressed and go. The directions are below.

1. Walk outside [of course you need to do that]

2. Turn right

3. Turn right

4. Turn left

5. Keep walking until you come to a door

6. Enter in

7. Say 'hi'

I slightly laughed when it said, 'say hi' because that is the only polite thing to do. For some reason, I no longer felt the invisible burden I had when I was with Link and Zelda. Or just Link. Or Zelda. I pushed them out of my mind and followed the instructions, until I came into a dining room. Inside, I found a man talking to the guy I saw earlier. The one called...Vaati. I cleared my throat and said, "good morning." They looked at me, and replied "good morning." The one who was talking [and slightly familiar] walked out.

"I see you are feeling better, Veronica. You look better."

"Yeah, an invisible weight has been lifted off my shoulders." I replied, sitting down. "Vaati, do I know you? You always remind me of someone..."

"Of course I am familiar."

"Really?" I asked, grabbing the fruit on the table.

"Ah yes, you would remember me by your memories." He said

I nodded, but then stopped. "But I can't remember."

"Then let me explain. You are the great heiress of a kingdom that was so thought gone. You are the princess of this palace. You are my sister." He said gravely, walking toward me with each word, "and tomorrow you shall be crowned. Zelda and Link will soon pursue you, but I promise you that I am not evil, I am here to help you learn how to use your powers. Your special gifts."

"I-I-I'm your sister?"

"You don't remember after your fall to Hyrule's temple. The magic there kept you asleep, but made you younger. The triforce stone you saw was absorbing your magic and using it to protect Link. But it was hurting you, and that is why you weren't the great wind sorceress, Aura."

"But I thought I was named Veronica?" I asked.

"No. You were named Aura, Princess of Airatel, realm of clouds. And I am your brother, Vaati, prince of Airatel. And the next full moon shall open the portal to take us home." He replied, placing a hand on my shoulder. "Together we will rule the land we rightfully own. Airatel, not the blasted place called Hyrule. I never wanted it, I wanted the triforce ring that would open the portal at will. But Zelda hid it from me. And that is why I took her. Please forgive me, sister."

Author's Note: Ga-ah!? Princess of Airatel?! Aura?! Sister and brother?! Oh, so confusing, the twist of the Wind Sorceress, I hope you see. Now it is time to respond to those astonishing reviews from the last chapter ;)

SkyKly - Glad you are happy Vaati is her [cheers] and I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I'm glad that you told me it was in great of detail, that tells me I am doing better [woo!] Glad you liked the chapter, please keep reviewing, and thanks! I glad the grammar was perfect! And now you know about Veronica/Aura and her special past ;D
