Author's note:
Tyrone was shaking. He was staring straight at Link and Zelda. Zelda still had the book open and was also trembling. Tyrone saw Link without his tunic. His white under shirt was torn. Tyrone looked at his hands. In between his figures were shreds of fabric. He slowly pulled them off and handed them to Link. The whole house was silent. Finally Tyrone spoke.
"I am so sorry" he started "I told you, you shouldn't have stayed. I cant control myself." Link dropped the dagger.
"Tyrone, you need help. If this continues, everyone in hyrule will be dead." Link said. Zelda looked at Link. "Zelda, what was that you were reading from?" Zelda held up the book.
"It's a book on magical creatures" She said flipping through the pages "I decided to see if it had a picture of the thing that attacked me. It's called Tacton. You, Tyrone, are a Tacton beast." Tyrone looked at the princess curiously.
"What? How did I get this way?" Tyrone asked loudly. He was growing frustrated "How do you cure me?!" He yelled, getting red in the face.
"Calm down Tyrone!" Zelda whispered loudly "Let me explain. Centuries ago, a tribe native to hyrule, lived along the shores of lake hylia. The people were at a time of war. Unfortunately, the tribe was not very strong. So, to prevent from being taken over by a neighboring tribe, the tribe wizard tried to create the perfect warrior that would be able to defeat the other tribe and protect their tribe for centuries. However, something went wrong. This "perfect warrior" only knew how to kill, it wouldn't stop. It started killing the women and children of their tribe. The wizard knew he had to put a stop to this. So, he lured the warrior into his home and made it sleep. He tried to make the warrior less aggressive. That to, went wrong. The warrior changed shape. It turned into a horrible animal that would not only kill it's victims, but eat them. Eventually, after many years, the tribe was able to drive out the killer. It fled into hyrule and fell in love with a hylian women. She was the only person who he could come in contact with and not kill. She had his children but alas, eventually, she to was killed by him. The baby was left for death but was found by a young couple. They raised this child, despite what happened to him at night. They were the people you knew as your parents Tyrone. You are that boy. That's why you are like this." Zelda finished and closed her eyes
"Is there a way to control it?" Link asked. He walked over to Zelda and took the book from her. "Does it say anything about control?"
"FORGET THE CONRTOL! I NEED TO BE CURED!" Tyrone roared. Zelda slapped him across the face. Not because she was angry, but because she thought it would keep him from being aggressive.
"Tyrone, it's in your blood. You can't be cured. But, you can control it. Link and I can help you."
"I just want it to stop." he said quietly.
"We understand Tyrone." Link said patting his shoulder "Zelda and I will come to your house every night to help you gain control." Zelda nodded. Tyrone smiled and looked to Link.
"Thank you." Was all Tyrone could say. No one had ever wanted to help him. With that, Link and Zelda walked out the door.
"Well, that was scary." Link said as the cool night's air hit his face. He turned to look at Zelda who was shivering. "Are you cold?" he asks.
"It's a mixture of cold and fear." She said "What I just saw was scary. But, I am also pretty cold." She laughed. Link smiled.
"I could understand why. You're still in your pajamas." He chuckled "For the love of the goddesses woman! You're not decent!" he teased. Zelda pushed him playfully.
"Well mister, you have a big rip on your back!" Zelda laughed. Link tried to find it. Tyrone must have slashed him in the back and Link didn't notice.
"Great, my best under shirt!" Link yelled jokingly
The both of them laughed and joked the whole way back to the castle..
Link walked Zelda over to her room. She smiled and laughed "I don't think I will be able to fall asleep. I am afraid something will climb in through the window!"
"Don't worry. If something does, they are gonna have to deal with me!" He pointed to himself, pretending to act macho. The two stopped laughing suddenly. It was like some one had just turned off the laughing gas. They both looked into each other's eyes. Zelda leaned forward and kissed Link on the lips. This one was different though. Unlike the other kisses, this kiss meant something. It was more than just a peck on the cheek or lips, it was longer. Zelda pulled away. Even in the dim light, Link could see she was blushing. He could feel himself blushing. Link touched Zelda's cheek. He smiled leaned forward and kissed her passionately. He closed his eyes as did she. Zelda wrapped her arms around his neck. Link thought of all the time she had kissed him. Did it mean something more? Was this proof? Zelda pulled away and smiled. This is what they had both always wanted. To be together, always to shy to say it, changing the subject any time love was brought up. Now, they had just showed each other how they felt. It felt like a tremendous load had been lifted off their chests. "Umm, see you tomorrow Link." Zelda said quietly.
"Yah." Link smiled. Zelda closed the door to her room.
Link walked happily to his room. He touched the door knob. Suddenly, a giant force sent him flying to the ground. He land face first on the floor. He felt a strong pressure his right leg. He looked to see who had shoved him. He saw the head knight standing above him with his foot on top of Link's right leg.
"Listen you scum bag peasant! You touch Zelda again and I will kill you so fast you will be dead before you hit the ground! YOU HEAR ME?!" Drake hissed. Link rolled onto his make and swung his left leg into Drake's, causing him to fall over. Link got up onto his feet and waked over to the grounded Drake.
"Look Drake, I love Zelda and I don't care what you thing." He said in a calm low whisper. Drake pulled out a dagger and attempted to swing at Link. Link pulled his leg away barely missing the dagger. Drake rolled up grabs Link's shirt collar and pushed him against the wall with the dagger to his throat.
"I am dead serious punk!" he spat. With that, he let go of Link and stomped off. Link mumbled to himself and opened the door to his room..
The next morning the castle was busy as always. Drake had been giving Link a nasty glare and continuously eyeing Zelda. Link and Zelda tried to act like nothing had happened the previous night. As the sun started to set, Link looked for Zelda who was on her balcony. Link walked out onto it. He wanted to talk to Zelda in private. He had to discuss the plans for that night and about the kiss they shared.
"Hey Zelda." Link said as he sat down on the edge. Zelda smiled. They both knew it would be awkward talking to each other.
"So, what do you have planned for tonight?" She asked "I think getting him to control himself is going to be difficult."
"I agree. But, he is an innocent man in my eyes. If it's in his blood, and it's what his mind tells him to do you can't blame him." Zelda nodded. The two became silent for a long time after that. They both had the same thing on their mind. Finally Link spoke.
"Zelda, I have to know something." He stood up "Did the kiss last night mean anything or was a spur of the moment type thing?" Zelda looked into his eyes.
"Link, of course it meant some thing. I wouldn't be able to kiss you if I didn't. I love you Link.. I always have.. And." Zelda stopped short to take a deep breath. Link went to her side and took her hands. Zelda leaned into his chest ad Link wrapped his arms around her. "Zelda, I love you. I have always loved you I just have never been able to say it." He kissed her gently. After another long silence, Link finally spoke.
"Let's get ready for tonight.."
To be continued..
OH YA! I finally got to the real mushy stuff! *Does a victory dance* Go me go me! Umm anyways, keep reviewing and chapter 4 will be on the way!
