A/n: I like cows!!! Anyways, thanks for the reviews (waving her hand in
front of her face, not wanting to cry). My surgery is tomorrow!!! I'll
hopefully be back by the 15th or 16th, provided that I don't have cancer
and the rest of my thyroid doesn't have to come out. BTW, chibi fairy,
thyriod cancer has one of the highest survival rates of all cancers. I'm
not gonna die. Don't worry.
Disclaimer: Zelda's not mine. Therapy is teaching me to deal. Also, I'm using song lyrics for my chapter titles, and those lyrics aren't mine either.
Chapter Five
"Hey Ava, Loria's throwning a party tonight, wanna come?" Kielle asked.
"Sure Kia," Sabira said. "I'm taking off early."
"Go home, I'll be there at eight." Sabira walked to her apartment down the street. She went up to her room and searched for a killer party dress. She got to the bottom of her drawer and saw something she had not seen since she had moved to Hyrule. Her painting of the Gerudo Fortress. Sabira sat down on her bed, holding the picture. She felt tears in her eyes, but fought them back.
'I don't miss them,' she thought. 'I gave up that life. But then why do I miss them so much? I try not to cry at night but the tears just come.' Sabira heard a knock on her door.
"Come in," she called. Kielle walked in.
"You ready?" Kielle asked.
"It's eight already?"
"No, I came early. Obviously, you're not ready. What have you been doing?"
"Nothing." Sabira started to put her painting away, but Kielle snatched it from her.
"Whatcha looking at?" Kielle studied Sabira's painting. "Did you do this?" Sabira nodded.
"It's good. What is it of?" Kielle asked.
"My old home," Sabira replied.
"The Gerudo Fortress? I've never seen it before. This is so cool."
"I guess."
"What's wrong? You seem down."
"It's nothing."
"It's obviously something. You miss them, don't you? Your family?"
"I have no family."
"Ava, why'd you leave?" Sabira answered with silence.
"Well, whatever the reason, you can't run away from your problems. You can get away for a while, but they're still there. You can run away from your home and your family and friends, but you can't run away from yourself."
"I gave it all up, Kia."
"But they didn't give up on you. There are people there who care about you. Your family loves you."
"I told you, I have no family. It's just me and my mother. Well, that's what it used to be. It's just me now."
"You can't be serious."
"I am the only member of my family."
"Ava."
"That's all there is to to it, Kia."
"If that's how it's going to be, then so be it. C'mon, we gotta party!"
*****
Sabira got out of bed. She couldn't sleep. Kielle's words kept replaying themselves over and over in her head. 'Did I really make the right choice? Should I have stayed?' Sabira asked herself. 'No, Mother made her choice. But she was all I had.' Sabira got out her picture of the Gerudo Fortress. 'This was the only home I've ever known. Then I left. Oh Goddessess, what's wrong with me? I gave that all up, but I miss it terribly. Why?' Sabira looked up at the ceiling and breathed in deeply. She looked at her picture again. Then it came to her. 'Because my heart is still there. My body left, but my soul didn't. I do belong there. I do have a family. Even if they gave up on me, I can't give up on them. They need me there.' Sabira began to pack her things and while doing so, she realized something. 'They didn't give up on me. I believed only what I wanted to believe. Mom didn't choose Daliru over me. She still loves me.' Grabbing her bags, she ran outside to Phoenix. She mounted and tore off to Gerudo Valley. 'Besides,' thought Sabira, 'I can't let Daliru have her way.'

A man rode up on a horse next to Daliru.
"You're late."
"I didn't miss it, did I?"
"Don't be an ass. We can't get cocky. Our plan has to work. If all goes well, Gerudo Valley will be mine by tomorrow."
A/n: This chappy is a personal favorite of mine. It reminds me of the song 'A Thousand Miles' by Vanessa Carlton. (Another personal favorite of mine)
