Author's note:



Zelda woke up the next morning feeling very refreshed. She got up to look out of her balcony window. Link was there. However, he wasn't practicing sword play he was speaking with one of the knights

"Maybe the whole Tyrone thing was just a bad dream." Zelda said to herself. Link had finished talking with him and was on his way back into the castle. "Maybe my confession to Link was all just a dream." she sighed. She heard a knock at her door. "Come in."

"How are you feeling this fine morning Zel?" Link asked as he walked in. Zelda smiled.

"I feel pretty good today Link. I needed that good night's sleep."

"That's good to hear. Tyrone is fine only a bit tired. He is not aloud to fall asleep in the kokiri forest." So it wasn't a bad dream. There was a Tyrone and there was a Tackton beast. But, that means Zelda had confessed to Link. Zelda stood up, jumped into Link's arm and kissed him passionately on the lips. It took Link by surprise but he gladly accepted.

"What was that for?" Link asked, laughing.

"Just for being you." Zelda smiled. A guard was standing in the door way watching.

"Oh, sorry to interrupt but, Zelda your father wishes to see you in the throne room."

"Alright I will be right there." Zelda kissed Link goodbye ad followed the guard out.

"Zelda, I know you know were mister Teck is. So, why not just tell me were he is?" The king begged his daughter. "He is better off dead Zelda. I will tell you what, if you tell me were he is, I will just throw him in the dungeon." Zelda thought for a second. Maybe that wouldn't be so bad. He would be fed and his episodes at night would be controlled.

"No! Stop the search or I won't tell!" Zelda said, shaking the thought out of her mind. Tyrone deserved to be free because he is innocent, at least to her. To her father he was a killer because his body was killing. But, it wasn't even his true self. Tyrone didn't even know what was going on when he killed.



Tyrone was sitting on the floor of kokiri eating some forest berries that Saria had brought him. He was starving and the sugar in the berries gave him a boost of energy. He had just about eaten all of his berries when he heard loud screaming coming from outside. He ran out to look. Ten knights or more were search the houses of the kokiri. He started to shake. He thought it was over. That he had been found. He thought of what Link said. If he was found here he could hide in the lost woods. But, he had no idea what Link meant. He stayed pressed up against the wall of the tree house praying to the goddesses he wasn't found. That's when he heard the knights say:

"Check up in that tree house!" Tyrone was trapped. Just like he is at night, he was stuck. For once in his life, he thought it would be good to be the killer he was at night. Suddenly, he felt fur grow all over his body. His figures and toes turned into claws and his hands and feet turned into paws. Fangs sprung out of his mouth and he slouched over. He let out a huge roar.

"What was that?" one of the knights asked before falling to the ground with a broken neck. Tyrone roared at the top of his lungs and started chasing after the other 9 knights.

"You bastards!" Tyrone growled. For the first time in his life, he knew what was going on. He knew he was chasing these men and he knew, he didn't have to kill them. He thought he could just scare them off. Several knights came to try and attack Tyrone. He stood on his hind legs and literally grabbed the sword out of one of the men's hands. He swung it like a wild man. He really didn't know what he was doing but he sure scared the knights out of their armor. He let out one last roar before he felt some kind of pinch in his hind leg. He looked to see what it was. Before he could identify the fact it was a poisonous dart, he was already delirious on the ground. He let out one more grunt before blacking out. The remaining men carried him away.

"Excellent news sire! The monster has been captured!" Drake reported to the king. The king smiled.

"Alright, bring it in then!" He ordered. 5 knights carried in the unconscious Tyrone. They dropped it in front of the king.

"You said you wanted it dead at your feet, well here it is dead as a doornail." Drake kicked Tyrone in the ribs however he did not respond. Tyrone knew something was up. Drake was told he was dead but the poison on the dart had already warn off. So, he was just acting right now. He slowed his breathing so they couldn't see he was in fact, alive.

Later in the day, Link came to visit Tyrone. He was thrown into a dungeon so the king could decide how to dispose of the corpse. Tyrone looked up to see Link.

"Link? What just happened?" Tyrone asked putting his paws on the iron bars.

"Well, I knew you couldn't keep on hiding so I told one of my friends, who happen to be a knight, were you were. I told him to knock you out with the poisonous dart. The other knights thought you were dead accept, him. I knew the poison would wear off quickly but I also knew that you would know to play along." Link laughed "And it worked!"

"Why didn't you tell me?" Tyrone asked, a bit annoyed.

"Zelda found out something interesting today. When you become the monster when you sleep, you are still sleeping. It's like, an advanced form of sleep walking. But, when you are in danger, nature kicks in and you change into a Tackton. But, this time you can control what happens! If I did tell you, you wouldn't be able to change and be in control because you would not be frightened!" Tyrone thought for a second. Slowly as thing came into light, he changed back into a hylian. He looked at his paws as they changed back into hands.

"But Link, I am not dead! They might find out sooner or later. But, even if they don't, I will be buried, or worse, burned alive!" Tyrone started to panic.

"Zelda and I have it figured out. We will help you get out of the castle and onto a ship which will take you to an island were you can live in peace. My knight friend, will say he got rid of the corpse because it started stinking up the castle. The king and all of his men will forget about you. Leaving you to live your life." Link folded his arms and smiled. The plan seemed flawless. Tomorrow, they would escape from the castle get him onto a docked ship and ship him off. Yes, it certainly did seem flawless, accept for the fact that Drake was once again, watching...



To be continued...

Don't you like how I just keep making new plans for poor Tyrone and then bring them crashing and burning to the ground? I think it keeps the story interesting. It would be boring if they just shipped Tyrone off, Link and Zelda got married had several little kids and everyone was happy. Nope gotta add more conflict! WOOO MORE CONFLICT!

PS: Keep reviewing..
