Hey you guys. I've said this before, but once again, it is necessary. INSPIRATION HAS STRUCK AGAIN. And why, you may ask? because I just went to the Legend of Zelda (which I don't own) Symphony of the Goddess. And, dear God, I loved it.

Hope you enjoy the chapter!

Zelda's P.O.V.

Tired. I was so damn tired... There was no way that I could keep going at this rate. If I didn't sleep now, I'd pass out within minutes.

This was all my fault. I shouldn't have kept moving for this long. I should've rested, and not have had a continuous trek like that. "I'm an idiot..." I muttered to myself, dragging my feet along.

Feeling weary, I glanced around, hoping to find a suitable resting place before I collapsed in exhaustion. Having to squinting in the dark, I noticed a grove of broken trees that seemed kind of familiar, but I couldn't exactly place it.

Whatever. I'd probably know more when my brain could function properly.

Then, a soft patch of grass not too far off. Relief washed over me, and I smiled slightly. That seemed suitable enough for a resting place.

I stumbled lazily towards the area, before dropping to the ground. With my back propped up against a tree, and took off my cloak before draping myself with it as a blanket. I tugged the cloak up, covering the lower half of my face. At least like this, my face wasn't too noticable and I'd look like a traveler.

Snuggling closer to the trunk, I shut my eyes and let sleep take over my conciousness entirely.

Narrator P.O.V.

Link glanced down at the crumpled map in his hands, before eyeing his surroundings. He smirked in triumph. He was getting closer to his destination.

Which meant hopefully one step closer to Zelda.

Returning his attention to the paper in his hands, he noted that if he made a left turn after passing a grove of broken trees and continued straight for a while, all he needed was another right before he got there.

Happy, he rolled up the paper and stuck it in a pouch on his belt.

The trip was kinda long, about half of a day non-stop. But, the Hero of Time had been through far worst. This was nothing.

Beginning to stride faster, in urge to get there as soon as possible, Link wondered how he was supposed to react if Zelda really was in there.

Should he be as calm as possible and get her to explain herself? Should he let his anger and emotions get the best of him? He didn't want to make her feel bad, but he was so irritated.

He still couldn't fathom what could have made her leave. He was almost desperate to figure it out.

Shaking his head vigorously, he noticed the broken trees a few yards into the distance. With a kick at some pebbles, he quickened his pace.

When Link reached it, he took in the image, pondering for a moment if the trees were broken on purpose, or if it just happened that way. Lost in his own thoughts, he was startled when someone breathing shatttered the silence.

Curious, he whirled around, searching for who else could be out at this time of night. Then, he noticed a little distance away, was someone sleeping on the ground.

Time Skip/Zelda's P.O.V.

I don't know why, but I've never slept so comfortably. My mind couldn't even remember where I had fallen asleep yesterday. I rolled around, mumbling incoherently, trying to push myself back into slumber.

After a few moments of that being unsuccessful, I slowly opened my eyes and yawned. They didn't adjust to the sun light that flitted in, so I sat up, rubbing them sleepily.

I took in my surroundings, blinking slowly. Then, carefully, my eyes widened in recognition. I was in a bed. In a bedroom. And this bedroom...

Did... did I... actually make it to the cabin? I had no idea what happened last night. Could I have actually made it here?

Smiling happily, I stretched my arms high over my head. Finally, I had a safe place to-

"Good morning, sunshine," a voice said from behind me, making me jump.

Oh no. Please, tell me I'm dreaming.

The blood rushing in my ears, I cautiously looked over my shoulder, and my heart dropped.

Please be a dream.

Link was leaning casually against the wall, his arms crossed over his chest as he eyed me. Judging by the look he was giving me, he was anything but happy.

Fear pumping into me, I jumped to my feet. "W-what are you...?" I shook my head quickly. "How'd you find me? No one knows-,"

"Y'know," he interrupted, walking towards me, "you're alot more predictable then you think." My mouth opened and closed, unable to form words.

"How...w-why?" I sputtered, confused out of my mind. Link leaned foward slowly, putting a finger to my lips. I flushed a bit, unable to look away from his eyes.

"You've asked your questions," he said quietly, his voice low. "Now its my turn. Care to tell me why you ran away?"

So, they meet again. I guess Zelda was closer to the house then she first thought, eh?

On an off note, if any of you guys have never been to the Symphony of the Goddess, I suggest you go. It was the best night I've had all summer. It was like I was surrounded by my own people lol.

Thanks for the reviews! Care to leave another?
