She just couldn't believe it. 'Today I will no longer be my own woman. I will leave this place with a husband, to care for, and protect me,' Zelda thought as she was getting ready for her wedding. "I wonder if Link will think I'm pretty," she said to no one in particular.
"Of course he will, if he has any sense whatsoever," replied Sarah, one of her servants and close friends.
She smiled. It was almost time to go out there and do what she'd wanted to do for some time now. It is like a dream come true, something you would read about in a fairy tale book. Only this was reality. She couldn't help but let her mind wander to Link. What is he wearing? Is he nervous, too? Would he change and become snobby and rude like the princes she had met? Or would he be just as friendly and caring as always?
"Time to go, Princess," Sarah said , giving her a huge grin.
Zelda sighed.
"Do I look alright?"
"You look fine, Princess. More beautiful than ever. If he's as smart as you say he is, he will do nothing short of melting at the very sight of you."
"Geez, that good, huh?"
They both laughed.
Zelda took one last, deep sigh and headed out the door. She looked ahead of her to the alter and saw Link...and almost tripped. He was absolutely sexiest, most handsome man she had ever laid eyes on. He smiled at her. He had the cutest smile! And she looked at the people around her, gaping at her beauty. So many people....She looked at Link again. She noticed his tunic. Very expensive looking. It was a deep blue and really set off his light blue eyes. She couldn't get over the fact that the man she was staring at would soon be her husband. He would have full control over her and anything she did. She normally would've been totally scared at that thought, but since it was Link, she didn't mind at all. She would do anything and everything he wanted her to, no complaints. The aisle seemed to stretch forever. She finally made it to the alter. She smiled at him. She felt as though her heart would beat right out of her chest as he took her hands into his. The next few minutes seemed to fly by. Then she became aware that Rauru was nearing the end of the ceremony. She wondered where Link would take her on their honeymoon. Then she heard Rauru say "You may kiss the bride."
She turned so she was facing Link. She smiled as he gave her one of his most passionate kisses yet. He stopped just as the crowd cheered and clapped. Zelda looked over at her father. He was grinning from ear to ear. Link scanned the crowd. He thought he saw Malon, but she had a horrid look on her face, so he decided it was someone who looked like her. He looked to the other side, and saw...
'Oh, no,' he thought, 'Emma! But how could she be here?' This was his and Zelda's special day! No way would he let some tramp ruin his day. He decided to leave with Zelda out the back doors, so he wouldn't have to talk to anyone.
Meanwhile...
"What the hell do you mean you can't find them, Emma?" said a very, very pissed off Malon.
"Exactly what I said, bitch! They must've snuck out or something," Emma snapped.
"Snuck out? You aren't very good at this damn 'spy-thing', are you?"
"Well you try to find two people in this freakin' hell-hole! I mean these people don't have to be so damn happy! Today is the shittiest day in history, and people treat it as though it's heaven on cloud 9!"
"For them it is! They actually like the thought of Link and Zelda together."
"Poor people...must've been brain-washed or something..."
"Whatever, you lezzie. Let's go..."
Back to Link and Zelda...
"So, where are we going?" asked a blindfolded Zelda.
"You'll see when we get there," Link said in a seductive voice.
Link stopped Epona as they arrived at their destination... a beautiful waterfall. Link helped Zelda off Epona and led her down a corridor that led to a rather large space behind the waterfall. He hoped with all his heart she would like it. He gently took the blindfold off of her and watched her face to see her reaction. She looked around, surprised, but happy. There were candles and a blanket set out with a picnic basket and wine glasses. It looked very romantic.
"Link! It's beautiful!" she exclaimed.
"Just like you..." he whispered in her ear.
She giggled. "So are we gonna eat or what?"
He laughed, "Sure."
As they neared the end of their meal, Zelda kept getting more and more nervous. She couldn't help it. Tonight would be her first time and Link's as well. What if she did something wrong?
She desperately wanted Link to be happy and satisfied with her.
"What's wrong?" Link asked her, interrupting her thoughts.
"Oh, nothing, I was just thinking about something. Nothing important."
"You sure?"
"Absolutely."
"Alright."
As they finished their dinner, Zelda's anxiety got worse. 'What if he forces me to do something I'm not ready for? What if he isn't gentle with me and it hurts?' she thought. She tried to shake her fear. Tried.
"Isn't it pretty?" Link asked, once again breaking her chain of thoughts.
She looked at what he was pointing at. The moon was reflecting in the water and looked very serene. She felt his eyes on her. She turned to look at him. He was looking at her so gently and soothingly, she almost wanted him to make her his. Almost. He leaned closer to her and gave her a kiss that started out small, but she felt something she never had before, and kissed him back deeper, encouraging him to do so back. They continued the game and the passion got more and more intense until Zelda didn't care what he did to her, just as long as it felt as good as this. He slowly brought up his hand to the front of her dress and began unlacing it.
"Just relax..." he said as he lay her down on the blanket...
A/N: I am sooooooo sorry for yet another delay. I had finals the first week I was late and when I started on the story, I got a phone call saying my Grandpa had a heart attack and had less than four days at the most to live. And so I was busy trying to help out my Grandma and everything. I hope she stays okay. I hope ya'll understand...
luv, april
