Naqita strolled through the Gerudo Fortress actually enjoying herself for once instead of worrying about different tribes attacking her home. It had been over a year since their last battle(which was vicious!) and she had saved the fortress from defeat. People still thanked her over and over again, for if they lost that battle, where would they be now? She had wondered about that a lot, and hopefully she'll never find out she always thought. Naqita climbed a vine and finally stepped onto the roof of the fortress. She had gone here to get away from everyone ever since she can remember(but now that she's older she has many more places to go now). It was a very beautiful place though. It overlooked part of the fortress and you can even see the Spirit Temple, which her sister, Nabooru, guarded. It was so peaceful up there that she declared it her thinking spot and that's all she went up there to do. She thought back on that dreaded war that her, her people, and the Keioa(a group of men who thought they could defeat the Gerudos, make them their slaves, and make them do what they please, but it didn't work out that way...)had. She lost her best friend by the blade of the Keioa's leader. When she saw what had happened she was filled with so much anger that she punched the man she was battling, knocked him out and ran for their leader with her sword sticking out in front of her, she didn't even realize that she was running till she felt her sword slide through the body of the man who wounded her best friend. He looked at her with his eyes wide open and then dropped to the ground, Naqita quickly pulled out her sword from his cold and dead body and immediately ran for her friend. She was lying on the ground, still alive, but Naqita could see breaths of life leaving her. "SOPHIE!" She tried to say something, but nothing came out, she tried again and managed to say: "Naqita, if I don't survive....." "Don't say that Sophie! You're gonna make it!" Naqita said with fear of what might happen to her best friend. "Naqita! If I don't survive, I want you to live life, and not be depressed all the time. As far as I know, I lived the greatest life that I could've and I wouldn't trade it for the world." Naqita's eyes were filled with tears and she was trembling so much, she didn't know how she got the word alright out. "Naqita, you're my best friend and the best one anyone could have." Sophie said, but her voice was getting softer. "Sophie, how am I going to live without you?" Naqita asked dreading the next few minutes. "Remember the good times Naqita. And remember......" she gasped for air then said, "I'll always be watching over you." And then Naqita's best friend, Sophie, died with her head on Naqita's lap. Naqita burst out into tears and cradled her friends lifeless body. All the Gerudos crowded round and informed Naqita that the Keioa's surrendered and were sent to jail. And then a doctor came. Naqita looked up at her with angry eyes and said, " Why couldn't you have come a little sooner!" "I'm very sorry, I got taken captive, but those awful men released me right after you saved us all, I'm so very sorry, I don't blame you if you don't forgive me." The doctor said with pain in her eyes while looking at Sophie. "I'm sorry, I'm just a little upset right now. We must go to the cemetery and bury her." Once they had her in her grave, Naqita sobbed over the loss of her best friend and then eventually went to her thinking spot and sobbed some more. After that she figured she take Angel out and ride for awhile. She ran over to her stall, opened the door(with a lot of force), flung out her arms and hugged Angel's neck, which was only for a couple of minutes, but it seemed longer. Oh girl, the worst thing has happened, and as she explained what happened to Sophie(I know it's kind of weird that she's talking to her horse, but she's really close to her, because she's had Angel her whole life)it looked as if Angel was very upset too, so Angel understood Naqita's pain and nuzzled Naqita's head with her nose. "Thank you girl, I knew you'd understand." Naqita said with a voice that you could tell was in pain. She mounted Angel and rode off very fast. She wasn't sure where she was going to go, but she'd think of it on the way. She had heard of a place called Kokiri Forest and she always wanted to go there and see what it was like, so she decided to go there. When she arrived and tried Angel's reins to a near by tree branch, she crossed a

bridge, and half way across it she heard someone, it sounded like they were in a struggle, so she peered down, and right below her was a young man, surrounded by skeletons, not just any skeletons though, not only were they moving, they were all changing colors from red, to white, to green, to blue. And they looked like they were really hurting the guy, so without even thinking she did a flip over the railing of the bridge and landed with one knee on the ground and her other foot on the ground too. With a warriors glare on her face, she drew her sword stood up and said in a sly voice, "mind if I join the party?" At first the skeletons were confused about this, but then they got the idea to go after her, but not without leaving 3 skeletons with the guy. She figured the guy could take care of himself for a couple minutes, but the skeletons were actually better fighters than she thought. The 1st skeleton knocked Naqita's sword out of her hand, so she kicked the skeleton in the head and the head rolled off, "Well you guys fight o.k., but you don't have very good defense, do you?" Another skeleton charged at her and was a bit of a better fighter. Their swords clashed against each other for a few seconds then the skeleton whipped out a dagger and tried to stab Naqita, but she dodged the stab, and kicked the skeletons arm off. He gave a good fight with his other arm, but it was just too easy, Naqita ducked when the skeleton tried cutting her head off and gave him an uppercut knocking his head off. The next skeleton snuck up behind her, and if it wasn't for the guy that yelled, "WATCH OUT, BEHIND YOU!" I'd probably be dead. I elbowed the skeleton, but this one was smart, he had armor on. She spun around and he didn't waste any time, he went right for her, but she was still too quick for him and she dodged the blade that would've killed her instantly for there was poison in it. They had quite a fight, dodging each others swords and keeping up a good defense. Eventually Naqita knocked his sword out of his hand and broke the skeletons fingers. He pulled out another sword which got a little bit of her skin, but it wasn't poisonous, so she wasn't dead. Naqita did a back flip over a very powerful swing the skeleton did with his sword and kicked the back of the skeleton, his armor fell off, and then before the skeleton could turn around Naqita grabbed the poisonous sword from the ground and with a swing of the sword, the head came off and he was defeated. By the time Naqita got over to the guy that was in trouble before, there were skeleton bones lying all over the place. "So you could take care of yourself." Naqita said with an impressed voice. "And the same for you! You're the best fighter I've ever seen!" The guy said in awe. "Where'd you learn how to fight like that?" The guy asked. "Well it kind of comes naturally to me...." Naqita said like it wasn't a big deal. "How can that come naturally to you, come on, you've had to have years and years of training to fight like that!" He said curiously. "Well I have had about a week of training when I was young, but there's a lot more to it than what you'd think." "Well can you tell what more there is to it?" Naqita was getting kind of curious about who this guy was. "Well I don't even know you....." "I'm really sorry. My name's Link, I'm a hylian who is kinda famous....." He said trying to be modest about it. "Oh!!!!!! I've heard of you! You're a great warrior! How come you could not handle those skeletons Hero of Time?" Naqita asked in amazement. "Well they shot me with something that slowed me down, but I'm back to my normal self now, and please call me Link." He said smiling to Naqita. "Hey, do you want to go somewhere and talk about how you became such a good warrior?" "Sure, I guess." Naqita said hesitating, but she figured that if this guy tried to do something to her, she could take care of it. They walked out to wear Naqita's horse Angel was and Naqita mounted her. Then Link got out an ocarina, which she'd heard about before, and played a beautiful song, then a beautiful horse came and he mounted her. " How'd you do that????" Link smiled and said, "my ocarina's a bit of a special one you could say, it brings me to certain places and my horse, Epona, can hear it wherever she is, so she comes to me." "Epona's a beautiful name, and your horse is very beautiful too." "Thank you. Did you hear that girl? Your horse is very beautiful too, what's her name?" "Oh, I named her Angel, because she's all white, but she's special because she has brown eyes instead of red like other albinos. I guess you could say I'm kind of special too." " What do you mean....special?" Link said with that curious tone again. Naqita just smiled and said come on, why don't we go to Lake Hylia? Then they both sped off. Once they reached there they lied on the grass and talked. "Hey, I never learned your name....." "Oh, I'm so sorry. My name is Naqita and I'm the Gerudo princess." "Your a Gerudo????? Do you know Nabooru?" Link asked with excitement. "Do I? Of course I do! She's my sister." Naqita said smiling. "You're her sister? So that's how you know who I am, she must've told you how I saved her, so is that 's how you know me! So is that what is special about you?" "Yup, she told me about you, but no, that's not what's special about me.......way before I was born, like in the time when
Chapter 2: Unwanted Memories(continued)
the Gerudos first built the fortress, one of the goddesses came down and told the Gerudos that someday a child will be born. "She will be the best warrior there ever was in the war and no one will be able to kill her! There won't be any marking on her to show that she is the one, but she will look different from all of you. Instead of red hair, she will have brown hair, and instead of green eyes, she will have brown eyes." And so the Gerudos pasted it down, from generation to generation and so on until one day a baby girl was born, and there was a great excitement for she had brown eyes, and eventually brown hair. The warrior who would keep their fortress safe in the future, was born....." Then Naqita looked right into Link's eyes and said, "I'm the warrior, Link." Link was speechless for a couple of minutes then he said, "That's really awesome!" They both started laughing and then they talked some more(After looking into Links eyes, Naqita noticed how good looking he was and it's too bad she didn't know that he was thinking the same thing about her at the exact same moment).Link wanted to know all about her, so she started from when she was little and summarized it until now and she included the story about Sophie. Link was very sorry, and then Naqita learned everything about Link. They became friends and in a couple of days Naqita had found a friend that understood her just like Sophie and they became best friends, but Link never replaced Sophie, there was just always a special place for Sophie and Link. About 4 months later, Link asked Naqita out on her first date( it was also his first date too) and they ended up having an awesome time, so then they were officially boyfriend and girlfriend. 1 year later, Link proposed to Naqita(They're both 17)and Naqita accepted with so much joy and happiness she started crying. She was so excited, but then something awful happened. "Naqita I have some bad news....I was summoned by the goddesses to go on a journey to save other places from evil." With an upset look on her face she yelled, "NO, WE'RE SUPPOSED TO GET MARRIED!!!!" And she started crying. He gave her a hug and held her in his arms and said, "As soon as I'm done this journey I'll come back to you. And I'm not sure how long it will be, but I promise I will never have my eyes on another girl, for none are as good looking, or sweet, or as good of a warrior as you and I want you to know that you are the best thing that's ever happened to me." She buried her face in his chest and with their arms still wrapped around each other Naqita asked, "But what if I never see you again!? Can't I come with you?" Link gently lifted up her chin with his pointer finger, so that she was looking in his eyes and said, "I'm sorry, they said I was to do this alone for now, I will try to come back to you, but if I'm not back by the time your 30, you've got to find someone else...." and then smiled, and even though Naqita loved that smile so much, she couldn't smile back. "Honey, I want you to take this." Link took the necklace around his neck off, and put the necklace on Naqita. "I'll try with all my heart and soul to come back to you." He then wiped her tears away and said to Naqita, "I love you Naqita and I always will." "And I love you too Link. And I'll never love anyone else like I do you." Their arms were still wrapped around each other and they shared their last passionate kiss. Naqita didn't want to let go of him, but she had to. "The sooner you leave, the sooner you'll be able to come back...." Naqita said in a trembling voice. " Now that's the spirit." Link said smiling. "Good-bye Naqita, I love you so much." "Bye Link! I love you so much also!" They shared one more hug and then he mounted Epona. As he was riding away, he blew a kiss to Naqita, and she blew one back.
A tear rolled down Naqita's face. "These are memories that I don't want to think about right now." She jumped from the ledge,(since it wasn't a big fall) and ran to Angel. She quickly mounted her and rode off.
I told you it was really long! Well anyway, I might have messed up sometimes and put "I blah blah blah," instead of she or Naqita, so sorry if I did that, if the chapter wasn't so long I'd go back and read through it, but I'm just too lazy to do that right now, so sorry! Reminder: Please type a reveiw for me because I really would like to know how I'm doing!
