Chapter 5

Zelda just sat there on her bed in shock for a while until she realized that someone was still at her door. She looked at herself and saw the blood from Darien's lip ,not only on her dress, but on herself as well. "Zelda?" came a deep voice, followed by some more knocking, "It's me. Open up! Or I'll break the door down!" he said jokingly. Zelda was relieved that it was Link, even though she wasn't too happy with him. She was running to open the door and tell him what happened, and pour her heart out, when she stopped dead in her tracks, hand lingering on the doorknob. She took it away slowly and her face had no expression. Oh no..I can't tell him! If Darian finds out, and I'm sure he will, who knows what will happen.

She started to panick, walking back and fourth, when she realized Link was picking her lock. She quickly grabbed her night clothes, some long silk pants, and a long-sleeved matching button up shirt to cover up her bruises, and ran into the bathroom, right when he opened the door. He saw her go into her bathroom , so he casually walked in, and plopped down on her bed, sighing.

Zelda had changed and she was making sure no bruises or any trace of blood was on her. She washed her face, and let her golden hair down over her shoulders, to cover up the redness on her neck, from where Darian had grabbed it about three times. She glanced at herself one last time to make sure everything was ok, and she opened the door to see Link lying on her bed, reading her book. He slowlt turned his head away from the book to see her standing there, arms crossed, and a cold glare on her face.

"Get out," she ordered, not flinching. "He didn't even pay attention to what she said, and just got up and went to her balcony,putting his arms on the stone railing, and looking out at the beautifully crafted landscape. His eyes wandered over to the gates where he and Elayne shared their first kiss. A smile curled on his lips. Zelda growled, seeing him looking at the gates, and got in her bed and started reading, or pretending, knowing that she couldn't get rid of him. Grr he makes me mad.

"You should really come look at the stars with me Zel," he said without turning around, or moving , " They're really beautiful tonight." After a few minutes , and no reply from Zelda, he turned around to see what she was doing. He noticed her eyes glaring at the book, and knew she wasn't reading ,because it looked she was staring through the book, thinking heavily. Link sighed and left the balcony, and plopped next to her again. This time he stared at her for a while, watching her glare at the book, before saying," What's so bad about that book to makes you glare at so much?" he said smiling again. "Nothing," she said not even looking up. "I think you should leave." Link frowned at this and propped his head up on his elbow to face her," Why do you say that?" In a monotonous voice she put her book down and said ," You shouldn't be lying next to a snotty , bitchy, and , oh yeah, UGLY princess, who should go to hell." This time she crossed her arms and stared at the wall. "You're not ugly! You're beautiful ," he started, and jokingly added ,"for a fifteen year old." Then realization came to his face and he remembered about earlier. Oh godess she did not hear that...

"Yeah well, you sure did stick for me when..," she paused for a second to face Link ," Elayne thought so." she said the last bit with menace in her voice. Just hearing her own voice say that girl's name made her regret she said it. Link opened his mouth about to say something, but closed it and stared down at the bed, twiddling his fingers every once in awhile, when he finally spoke. " Zel, I didn't know what to say. When she does that thing with her eyes I just..I don't know. I tried to tell her but.." "But you didn't want to contradict HER." Zelda interupted getting angry. "You'll let this girl that you just met...put down your best friend? Who's been your friend forever! Just get out of my room and let me go to sleep. What with Darian coming in and..." Ooops I didn't mean to say that.
