Shit. I skipped a whole ton of the Shadow Temple in the last chapter, didn't I? I just realized it after I posted it and went to play Oot. Oh well, just look on the bright side. If I hadn't screwed that up then I wouldn't have written this chapter until at least a week from now. And there's another bonus: it's the mushy gooey one you've all been waiting for. The song in here is "How Did I Fall in Love With You" by the Backstreet Boys. If you like them, fine, if you don't, that's fine too, just don't put any shit about them in your reviews. You're supposed to be reviewing my story, not my taste in music.
Link's Journal
(This is not literally Link's journal but it's basically what he would write if he had one.)
I never needed her. I hated her when I first met her. She was such a bitch. But, somehow or another, something about her shined through. Maybe it was the way she was just like me. Brave, strong, cold, destroyed by the world... alone. Whatever it was, it caught me and then I saw her as, I guess, a friend.
Remember when we never needed each other.
The best of friends like sister and brother.
We understood we'd never be... alone.
I thought she was going to die. No, I knew it. If I had left her there she would've died. She told me to, though. She said that she could come back. Why didn't I believe her? She just seems so human. She has flaws like everyone else. She's not perfect or royal like I imagined a goddess would be. She's completely normal. And yet, she's not. No normal girl has ever made me feel this way. I love Zelda, I'll admit. I also love Saria and Malon and Impa, hell, I might even love Ruto. But not the way I love her. I've come close to losing the others many times. Some even came closer to death than her. But the feeling of dread. The sickening empty feeling, it was never as strong as when I thought I might lose her. I never expected to fall in love. I'm a hero, not a country boy. I've wanted to fight, to kill, ever since I can remember. I thought I had everything. But when I think about going back to the life I had before her, all I can see is nothing. She's the only thing that matters anymore. The last time I was afraid of something was when I was just a child. In my adult years I've never been afraid. I've seen so much shit that I thought nothing could frighten me anymore. But now I'm scared to death. I'm afraid to beat Ganondorf. Because I know that if I do she'll go home. I can't lose her. I love her too much to even imagine a life without her.
Those days are gone, now I want you so much.
The night is long, and I need your touch.
How can I tell her, though. She's a goddess. Goddesses don't fall in love. Especially not with people. I shouldn't even be in love with her. It's wrong. It's so wrong. I should be condemned to hell for feeling this way. But, no matter how hard I try, I just can't make this emotion go away. Her face is always there. Even when I look away. Even when I close my eyes. Even when I sleep.
Don't know what to say.
Never meant to feel this way.
Don't wanna be alone tonight.
It feels like the only way out is to tell her. To beg her to stay by my side. I would. I would beg on my knees, bring myself to the greatest shame possible, if only I could be with her forever. If only.
What can I do to make you mine.
Falling so hard, so fast, this time.
What did I say, what did you do?
How did I fall in love with you?
How was it? Did you think it was good? Believe it or not, this is one of my fave chapters. I just think it's so sweet. Actually I do like romance as long as it's a mixture of romance and angst. Kinda like in my other story, when Leighanne is all in tears about how she took Brian for granted. I like stuff like that just not the shit where everyone's happy and the candlelight dinners and walks by the beach and little cutesy letters and boxes of chocolate and... and... (hhhhuuurrrrrlllll) Whoa, better clean that up before my dad gets home. Write you later.
