The next day I was in the garden watching Link fight some of the shadow guards who volunteered to fight Link even though they all lost almost as if they weren't trying. I was under a cherry tree sitting in the grass eating some ice cream yum. I wore some really short shorts and a cool summer shirt too, something that I would never wear but it was a nice day so I was fine.
It was so fascinating watching Link fight he was so skilled and so well controlled and never afraid to fight even if the guard looked really tough. I now looked away seeing my mom walking towards me with a smile. I smiled back at her as she now sat next to me "so what are you doing today honey" "nothing really just watching Link why" "it's nothing" she said turning her attention to Link and I did the same. Now seeing Link knock down one of the guards to the ground and the guard calling it a quits.
I smiled watching Link stand up and taking a sip of his water and I could see from here that he was all sweaty and he didn't have a shirt on but for some strange reason I was quit used to it. I then turn my attention to my mother remembering that she was sitting right next to me and said "so what did you really come out here for". "oh Um" my mother began turning to me she was now all happy.
"Tomorrow you going to have your first wedding dress fitting" "oh" I said sounding really not impressed "isn't that great honey I was thinking maybe a strapless dress or maybe a –" "mom" I said interrupting her.
"Yes honey" "you don't have to say no more I heard you" "oh honey what's wrong why aren't you happy" I looked at her like has she total forgotten why I don't sound so happy and why don't I want to get married. "mom" I said coming up with something to say " I really don't want to do this and I know my father doesn't love me or even care for my feelings but I at least i thought that you cared for me".
I watched my mom frown then say "honey your father does love you and does care for your feeling but he feels that he is making the right choice for you and that with Link it's just complicated he just never got along with Link" "Well that shouldn't have to do with my feelings if I like Link he should accept that and not force me to marry someone that I just might kill someday" I say finally turning back around to face Link. Bringing my knees up to my chest and wrapping my arms around them. I stared at Link who now finished off the last guard as the guard would yell in defeat.
I could still feel my mother staring at me which annoyed me only a little but I ignored it. "Okay honey" my mom finally say then got up and walked away. I just thought I couldn't believe my mother is still not on my side always trying to make dad's side sound like the right side.
I watched as Link now came over and sat under the shade with me sighing and taking another gulp of his water. "What's wrong" he began staring at me. I sighed then said "my life sucks". I heard him chuckle slightly I then turned to him with a pouting face saying "it's not funny" "I know, I know it's just the way you sound but really what's wrong". I looked down to the grass by my feet and began "Tomorrow is my first wedding dress fitting" "oh" I could hear the sadness coming in his voice.
"Link" I said feeling my voice sink with sadness "the wedding is coming closer and closer I just don't know if there's anything we can still do". Link sighed heavily closing his eyes then opening them and said "Ailsa I know but we just can't think like that yet we just can't give up". I smiled he always tried to make me feel better even though things are bad he always made me feel better and it worked "thank you Link and you're right we can't lose hope not yet".
