After Twilight Princess

Chapter 11

Not Good

Zelda sat up and looked out the window. Still dark.

She laid back down and closed her eyes a few seconds. The she open them again and looked out the window. Still dark.

She groaned and climbed down the ladder to the second platform where Link slept and just jumped down to the last floor. She needed fresh air. She just couldn't get used to the fact that this is where she's gonna have to sleep for months.

Instantly she wished she was home. Back in the castle. Back with Marth.

She slammed the door behind her as she stormed outside and jumped down instead of using the ladder again.

She didn't like it here, but life was so much simpler in the Castle. Everyone had their own bed so they didn't have to fight about who sleeps on the floor

She never had to really do anything, cause Marth did the work for her.

She didn't have to deal with Link….

It's not like she hates him though, it's that he's to handsome and charming not to like. And she doesn't want like him. She's happily engaged to Marth and no matter what happened to him, she'll still be waiting for him to come back.

Zelda looked side to side and ran in the direction of Faron Woods and looked ahead. She started to cross the bridge and she heard it cracking. In the middle of the bridge, Zelda stopped running and started to walk.

As she walked the boards kept creaking. She looked down and behind her and instantly, her foot stepped on a broken board and the board fell down and her foot did also. As she fell, she could hear the crack of the bridge and looked behind her. A lot of other boards started to fall and the one that her hands were rested on started to break.

Zelda looked and her eyes grew wide as that board fell and her body crushed against the two boards under her. She instantly reached for the next board and she heard the boards break underneath her.

"Help!" She finally screamed at the top of her lungs. "HEEEELP!"

She looked around and the boards under her fell. She started to panic as the only way she could get up was if she dangled from the board. She slowly slid her right foot off and she started to dangle from the strong board.

She started to hear it break and started to panic. "Come Zelda…" She whispered to herself. "You gotta pull yourself up NOW!"

Zelda, with all her strength, pulled half her body up on the bridge. She lifted her leg and slung it up onto the board and pulled herself up. She sighed and started to cautiously walk across the rest of the bridge.

Once she got on land she sighed. "That was close…."

She scowled and looked back at the bridge that she wanted to destroy. Suddenly, little black pieces started to form the boards and turned to the original color.

Zelda stared at the bridge in shock. She took a step on the bridge and heard not a sound from the bridge. "But how-?"

She looked all around and spotted a dark figure. A human figure.

'Crap….. It's Link.'

He ran across the bridge and hugged her tight as her got to her. "Thank the goddesses you're okay…."

"What are you doing here?" She asked rudely.

"I heard the door slam and it woke me up. I got up and thought you went to Town cause I remembered you left a ring there. I was coming to give it back to you cause I had picked it up but forgot to give it back. While searching, I heard you scream and I ran and looked in the Spring and then I saw you here." Link explained.

Zelda couldn't help but feel sorry for him. Having to deal with her. 'I bet you he wishes I were Midna instead.' She thought, pulling away from him.

"But now I need answers." Link sighed, crossing his arms across his chest. "You know the Woods are dangerous, right?"

Zelda nodded and looked down, "I just wanted some fresh air."

"And why did you scream?"

Zelda sighed. "The bridge started to fall and I almost fell with it."

Link looked at her strange.

"And when I got over here, I turned around and little black pieces put the bridge back together." Zelda added.

Link was about to say something, when a familiar voice said, "She's not kidding you know."

Zelda looked around and Link smiled.

"Midna?" He called.

Surely enough, Midna came out of the shadows and smiled at the two. "Long time now see, hu?"

Link pushed Zelda way from him and her ran to hug Midna.

Zelda stumbled to gain her balance and glared at Link.

Midna finally pushed Link off her and walked over to Zelda.

Zelda smiled and hugged Midna and looked at Link over Midna's shoulder. She stuck out her tounge at him and he smirked.

Midna pulled away and laughed. "So? Are you two getting along nicely?" She asked, knowing everything that happened sense she had been gone.

"No." Zelda said.

"She sucks the fun out of everything." Link stated.

"My my, what a wonderful match….." Midna giggled and looked at Link.

"I do not suck the fun out of everything! May I remind you what happened five minutes ago?" Zelda objected.

"Yes you do." Link started again. "You made us leave the dance early and-"

"You know why I did that!" Zelda cried.

"No! I don't! You never told me." Link yelled.

Zelda looked down and turned to make sure he didn't see her tears.

"Oh come on guys, It's not that bad….." Midna sighed, trying to cheer them up.

"I want to go home." Zelda whispered. "Or I'll just stay with Godwin, cause my home is DESTROYED!"

Link looked up and her and she started to run. He started to feel awful inside.

"Well, what are you waiting for? Go after her!" Midna waved in front of his face.

Link just stood there thinking. He'd taken it to far this time. He just needs to accepted that Zelda take people seriously when they say things. No matter how ridiculous.

Midna hit him in the head and screamed in his ear, "LINK!"

Link jumped and saw Midna run forward.

He started to follow and he looked down nearly the whole time. 'What have I done? I don't even know what I did to make her upset…..'

Midna looked back at him and rolled her eyes. "Come on Link! Hurry before we loose sight of her!"

Link looked up and started to run toward Midna. Now, he's more confused then ever.
