*******************AFTER LUNCH, BEFORE ERICH'S ARRIVAL*******************
Link was making his way down the hall towards Zelda's room. He REALLY needed to talk to
her. He didn't have much time before that son-of-a-bitch Erich would be here. Link really, truly
hated him. He hated him almost as much as he hated Ganon, except Ganon was gone, forever.
"And so will Erich, if he tries to mess around with Zelda, again," thought Link. He knocked on
Zelda's door four times. They'd developed a way of communicating that way. Four knocks.
"Come on in," yelled Zelda, "I'm just finishing my hair,"
"You look horribly nice, Zelda, what on Hyrule for?"
"I don't want Father to get mad at me," she said in a tiny voice. Was Link going to talk to her
about 'the accident'? She felt embarrassed and ashamed about it. He probably thought she
couldn't handle herself.
"So, Zel, about Erich-"
"Do we have to talk about that right now?" She sounded annoyed, even to herself.
"I'm sorry..." And he was. He hoped she wasn't mad at him. He only wanted to help.
"Do like my hair, Link?" That was her pathetic way of changing the subject. She didn't feel
comfortable talking to him about Erich so she wouldn't.
"It's beautiful, Zel," And he wasn't lying. She had fixed it in a pretty bun on the back of her head
so it showed off her long neck. And with the elegant pale-blue dress she had on, she truly looked
like a princess. But there was still one thing he didn't understand: why would she dress up for
Erich's arrival if she didn't like him? And to think earlier that very same day she had said she
loved him. What?! Girls could be soooo confusing!
"Well, come on Zel, or we'll be late and you'll be in trouble," It was true. Link was depressed.
Hell, maybe she enjoyed Erich's company and he should just stay out of this. But what if Zelda
ended up getting hurt? He couldn't stand for something like that. If Zelda got hurt and he
could've prevented it, he'd probably kill himself. He loved her more than anything and only
wanted her happy. So he decided that he'd just leave and let her make her own choices. It was
obvious to him that she hadn't actually meant it when she'd said she loved him. How could
someone like her, love someone like him? It was impossible. So as Link escorted her downstairs,
he silently made his get-away plan. He realized the sooner the better, and decided to leave right
after Erich arrived, the time Zelda wouldn't notice he wasn't there. But then he encountered a
problem: Where would he go? That was easy, he'd go back to his tree-house in the forest. Now
he had a plan. He saw Erich's carriage arriving.
"I forgot something in my room, be right back," he smiled at her, "I love you,"
Well, at least he didn't completely lie. He made his way back up the stairs to his room. He didn't
own much, so it was easy for him to pack his things. He didn't want Zelda wondering where he'd
gone, so he wrote a letter:
******************************************************************************
Dear Zelda,
I'm sorry. I can't tell you where I'm going, but you can be sure it's as far away from here as I
can get. I hope you're happy with you new little 'prince'. Maybe now you can be happy. That's
all I ever wanted you to be. And, hey, who knows, maybe somewhere in the distant future we'll
meet again. And whatever you do, please don't forget the last words I said to you. Goodbye,
~Link
******************************************************************************
Where was Link? Surely he wouldn't leave her alone when she needed him. She excused herself
from her current conversation and went to Link's room to check on him. Only he wasn't there.
Wait a minute, there was something on his bed. It was a note! She read it silently to herself,
mouthing the words.
"His last words?" she whispered to herself. "What were they?" She recalled their last
conversation: "...I forgot something in my room, be right back, I love you,"
"'I love you' were his last words," She realized she was saying her thoughts aloud and decided to
keep her thoughts inside her head. Where could he have gone? What would she do if Erich
decided to try and rape her again? She started to cry. Lately nothing had gone right. As she
started to have a pity-party for herself, she heard a knock at the door. Who could it be? She didn't
tell any one where she had gone, maybe they were looking for Link. She opened the door and
was stunned to see who it was. She gasped. It was none other than...
• So, what didja think? I'm still open to any suggestions. PLEEEEZE R&R!!! Or you can
privately email me at: outer_space_gurl2001@yahoo.com And please keep this little thought
in mind: I don't plan on ending this story anytime soon...there's a lot more to it...
Love, april
