Untitled Zelda Story Part 4
Willard Kraft crept cautiously down the hall praying that none of the nurses spotted him. Ever since he had woke up several hours before, he had asked anyone he could find to tell him how Zelda was but no one would give him any information.
Willard remembered the last time that he saw Zelda. He had woke up within minutes of the crash and had immediately looked over to see if Zelda was alright. The first thing that he saw was the blood on the shattered window and then he saw Zelda crumpled in a heap with her head resting against the dashboard. He could tell that she was weakly breathing but she didn't answer him when he called her name and tried to wake her. Willard tried to get out of the car, thinking that he could get to the road and find a phone to call for help but as soon as he tried to move, pain shot through his leg and he knew that he would never be able to get to the road. He screamed for help for what felt like hours but no one heard him. The temperature was steadily dropping and he shivered from the cold. He knew that it wasn't a good idea to move Zelda when she he didn't know how badly she was hurt but he couldn't just let her freeze to death. He carefully raised Zelda's head and gathered her against him. Her breathing was so weak that he could barely feel it. He kept talking to her promising that she would be alright and gently kissing her cheek until he finally passed out again. The next thing he knew, he was waking up in the hospital with his right leg in a cast and no idea how Zelda was.
Luckily there wasn't a nurse at the station so he was able to sneak a look at Zelda's chart and see which room she was in. He hobbled to the room as fast as he could and slowly pushed the door open. He was shocked by Zelda's appearance and all of the machines that she was connected to. He hurried to her bedside and dropped into the chair beside the bed.
"Zuzu, I'm so sorry," he whispered as he took her hand and kissed her fingers. Tears were starting to form in his eyes. "This should have happened to me instead of to you. I'm sorry."
