A/N Hi everyone! This is just a small side note. Do you remember Link's dream in chapter six? I included it a little bit the chapter, see if you can spot it! Enjoy the chapter!


Kill him, fool! Ghirahim screamed in the back of his head. Dark Link positioned his hands on the sword's grip, ready to kill his enemy, when the pattering of footsteps seemed to approach him. Suddenly, the dark boy had been tackled to the cobblestone, and pinned by a feminine figure. The sword he wielded was thrown and Dark Link gasped as he watched his favorite weapon fly through the air, diving into the lava. Link opened his eyes and struggled to sit up and see what was going on.

The dark boy squirmed, trying to wiggle out of her grasp and complete his mission, but Zelda didn't budge. "Thought it was that easy, huh?" Zelda remarked, her golden strands of air sinking over her shoulders. Something was hiding in her hand, something she dug out from her carrier.

"I order you to get off me this instant!" He shouted, disappointed he hadn't killed Link yet.

"Okay, as long as you say so." She stood, and offered her empty hand to Dark Link. "You know what happens next, right?" She smiled mischievously as she took one step closer to the dark shirtless boy. His eyes stuck widely to her and she tilted her head to the side. While he was distracted, she opened the cap of the lotion she found in her bag, and spilled it behind the boy's feet. She then threw her arms in a reflex, spinning him around. Her arms on his shoulder as she added one thing; "You understand, right?" The boy's scream echoed across the room as he dived into the magma. Once she saw that he had been defeated, she twirled around, facing Link again. The green dressed boy had seen the whole thing.

"Y-You did it." He whispered with a light smile taking over.

"No, Link. We did it." She told him, the tunic she was wearing sank over her as she kneeled on the ground beside him. His smile quickly faded when he saw he face reddening. Her face became serious; she tilted her head and squinted her eyes before she asked her important question. "W-What happened?"

"M-My leg…" It was the only thing he wanted to tell her, but she easily pieced it together.

"It's okay! It's not too late to-"

He took a sharp breath in, wincing from the pain. "No, Z-Zel…not t-this time..."

"W-What?" She saw small drops of sweat leaked down his face. Zelda couldn't help feel her eyes water at sight of her hero suffering.

"I k-know it's h-hard but-" He sighed, escaping his gaze away from hers. "I c-can feel it t-taking over…I t-think's it ti-time to say g-goodbye…"

"What? Link, no! Don't…Don't be like that! You'll be fine, I just need time to think." She begged, but he returned his stare, intimidating her into listening.

"I'm sorry…f-for everything…" The hero apologized, reaching for her hand. When they touched, an icy shiver covered Zelda, his skin as cold as anything she's felt. It snapped in her head that her best friend was dying, that he didn't have much time.

Tears collected at the bottom of her cerulean eyes, too afraid to admit that he was leaving her. After everything they've been through, this was the end. It couldn't be. It wasn't fair, she needed him.

"Sh, sh, d-don't cry…" He begged, feeling warm tears appear in his own eyes.

Her voice was shaking and she could feel her tears spill. "Please, Link. Please don't go…please!"

He took a deep breath in again, the pain sickening his body, knowing only minutes remained. The heat struck his body, and his mind felt heavier. There was so much he needed to say, but there just wasn`t enough time. There was just one last thing he wanted to add, something he wasn't going to die without saying. "Z-Zelda….?"

"W-What?"

"I-I love you…"

Her cheeks were soaked with her tears, all of this slowly killing her on the inside. "I love you, Link. I love you so much." She whispered back. He grinned lightly, happy he had finally heard her say it and he lied down, turning his head away from her. His eyes reddened, feeling the liquid they held release, and tried to hide the fact he was crying. She looked up to the ceiling, her eyebrows furrowing, as she let out a small whine. There was no way was going to let him go without the one thing she never gave him. The one thing he truly deserved. In a swift action, she grabbed onto his cheeks, turning him back to her, and pressed her lips softly against his. His eyes widened in response, but he slowly began to lower his eyelids, as he calmed down. It finally happened. Something they've been waiting for days, when they found their love for each other. Both of them would've refused to pull away, but there wasn't much time to waste. They both knew goodbye was only moments away, and it was time to let go. Zelda slowly tore away, and let go of his face. He gave her a small smile before he continued.

"G-Goodbye, Zelda…T-Thank you…for giving m-me hope…f-from the m-moment we first met…"

"Link…" She felt a crack in her heart with every word he said.

"D-Don't w-worry…t-this…isn't goodbye f-forever…" He reassured her, flickering his eyes closed.

She gasped, her hands shaking as she shook her head. "No… Link… no! No!" Her salty tears rushed down her face, afraid to think he had already left her. She tugged on his hand, urging him to wake, to tell her everything will be fine. As he always would. "Link…no! Please Link, please! Please!" Her head rested on his still chest, staining the green fabric with her tears. She tugged on the tunic, begging him to come back to life. "Link…"
