Author's note: I personally think this is the best chapter yet. It has
humor, action and romance. YAY! All of my favorite elements! *Dances a
retarded dance*
Tyrone and Link ran through the mud and grass to get to Link's old home in Kokiri forest. It was the only place were Tyrone could go that was safe. At least, for the time being. Tyrone stumbled through the wooden entrance and fell flat on his face. He spat out the dirt he had nearly swallowed and stood up. What he saw amazed him. Dozens of little children all dressed in green, with a faerie following every one of them.
"Who are these people Link?" Tyrone asked astonished.
"They are children of the forest, the Kokiri. They never grow old. I used to be one of them, at least, that's what I thought." Link started drifting into memories of his child hood. Tyrone looked at Link strangely.
"You USED to be one? You're a grown man how could you if they never grow old?"
"A long story." Link said simply. The kokiri children noticed the two men and started surrounding them. Soon, a huge circle had formed around Tyrone and Link. "OK OK! I know this might be confusing to you. But, All I can say is that Tyrone needs to use the abandoned tree house." The kokiri looked at each other. Suddenly, the kokiri were pushed aside by a slightly taller one. He stuck out his chest and looked up at Link.
"Listen you, I don't know how you know about the tree house or why you are wearing kokirish clothes. But, I do know you not welcome here! We don't like outsiders." Link recognized the bossy kokiri instantly.
"Mido, I see you haven't changed. I have no time to talk and I must use the tree house. I am sorry." Link said pulled at Tyrone's arm. He started running towards his house. Mido tried to stop him but of course, he couldn't. Link and Tyrone both ascended the ladder which Link had used in his youth. Tyrone looked around.
"Well, it is good for it's purpose." Said Tyrone. Link nodded.
"Tyrone, I must lave you for now. I must get back to the castle and try to explain this whole mess. I am sure you will find everything you need here. Oh, if that bossy kokiri bothers you, ignore him. But, if a green haired girl comes to see you, let her in. That's Saria, and old friend of mine." Link stepped out and left Tyrone to himself.
Zelda sat in her room. She tried to think of a way to save Tyrone. But, exhaustion was clouding her mind. She hadn't really slept for the past few nights. She tried to get sleep during the day but with her busy schedule, it proved impossible. She lay down on her bed and closed her eyes. Maybe if she rested for a few minutes, she would be able to think straight. Zelda was about to fall asleep, when she heard someone entering her window. She opened her eyes and turned to see Link standing there.
"Link? What? Are you ok? Were is Tyrone?" She asked. Link took her by the hands.
"Yes Zelda, I am fine. Tyrone is hidden in the kokiri forest. That's the last place the guards will look. Did you speak with your father?" Zelda shrugged.
"I did. But, he wouldn't call off the search. He is just so stubborn!" Zelda clenched her fists. Anger and exhaustion was effecting the way she was thinking. She sat down on her bed. "Link, I am so tired. I needed this day off. I finally have free time, and I have to spend it worrying about Tyrone!" she buried her head in her hands. Link put his arm around her.
"Zelda, you try and rest. I will take care of Tyrone." Link said in a soothing voice. "I understand it must be hard for you. You have to deal your life, which is already busy, and deal with Tyrone." Link stood up and smiled. Zelda was already sleeping peacefully. He leaned over and kissed her forehead. With that, he jumped out the window.
"HALT!" Drake yelled to Link. He grabbed him by his shirt. "Listen up you worthless peasant, I am gonna find your little friend anyways. So why don't you just tell me were he is?" Link looked away. He smiled slyly. "What are you smiling about?" Drake sneered.
"This!" Link pulled his leg back and in one swift movement, brought his knee up hitting Drake in his groin. He literally saw stars. He grabbed his wounded member and fell on the floor curled up in a ball. The wind left him so fast, he couldn't breath. "Sorry I had to do that Drake. But, you were acting like one." Link ran off, laughing to himself.
Link ran the whole way back to kokiri forest to check up on Tyrone. He ran through the crowd of gathering forest children and climbed up into his old house.
"Hey Tyrone how are you?" He asked as he entered the one roomed house. Tyrone sat up. He had been lying in his bed resting. However, he knew not to fall asleep. He might have gained control when with Link and Zelda but, after all the trauma today, he might have forgotten.
"I must admit Link, I have felt better." He laughed "But, Drake and all of the knights have been looking for me. But, that can prove to be a good thing."
"How so?" Link asked curiously.
"Well with all of the kingdom looking for me, I will be so afraid to sleep!" Link laughed. He knew though, Tyrone would not be allowed to sleep for as long as he was staying in the forest. Which from the looks of it, wouldn't be that long. Soon even this secluded forest would be found. If he had to, Tyrone could always stay in the lost woods, which was probably a better choice than his current hideout. However, Link thought it was best that Tyrone stayed comfortable during the search.
"Well, Drake is gonna be delayed. He grabbed me on the way here so."
"So.What Link?"
"I kind of kicked him in his soft spot." Link laughed.
"Good! That guy is a jerk. He talks to you like your trash!"
"I know. He bothers me as well. He always has. From the time I moved in to the castle, Drake has always disapproved of me and Zelda's friendship. But, now that we area couple, I bet he is really cheesed off." Link paused "I guess I could understand though. Whether he loves Zelda or is just obsessed with her, he still wanted to marry her and now that I am here, I stood in the way of his plans."
"Are you going to marry her?"
"I was planning on it. I really do love her. She is the air I breathe. Even though I have only recently confessed to her, I have always loved her.." Tyrone nodded and looked out the window.
"Oh no. My least favorite time of day.Night." Tyrone said drearily. Link looked out the same window.
"I could stay with you, if you want."
"No Link. You go to Zelda. I have to deal with this by myself."
Link returned to the castle exhausted. The first thing on his mind, was to check on Zelda. He knocked on her bedroom door but received no answer. He opened the door slightly and looked in. Zelda was still asleep on her bed. Her breathing was slow and she looked peaceful.
"Zelda, you look just as beautiful asleep as you do awake." He whispered. He walked over to her closet and pulled out a cotton blanket. He covered her with it and kissed her lips.
"I love you Zelda. And I promise, this will all be settled out soon."
