Author's Note: This one has a mean cliff hanger, ha! I really like the way it came out!

" Link?" Saria spoke in a whisper.

" Saria you're still alive! Thank the Goddesses!" Link held her in his arms and hugged her tightly.

" AHHHHH!" Saria let a sudden yelp of pain escape her lips as Link held her.

" What's wrong?" He took his hand off the back of her head to see it covered in blood. " Saria!"

Link stared at the wall Saria had collided with. The wall was no longer pure white, it was stained blood red.

 " Saria you'll be okay, I promise," Link whispered comforting words to the wounded Sage.

He didn't get a response, she just laid their, in his blood covered hands. Link decided it would be best to get Saria out of the temple before she was attacked again. He ran, with her in his arm, to the Kokiri Forest. Like always, Mido was standing near the entrance of the Lost Woods waiting for Saria to come out, which he knew would never happen. When he saw Link rush past him, he chased after the Hylian. 

" Where are you going Link?" Mido screamed.

" No time, got to get Saria to the Know-It-All Brothers!"

" Saria?! What do you mean? I don't see her?"

" I'm holding her you moron!"

Mido soon caught up but when he saw Saria...

" WHAT?! THAT'S NOT SARIA, IT'S ANOTHER HYLIAN!!!!!! YOU JERK, WHAT DID YOU DO WITH SARIA?!"

" Look Mido, I don't have time to explain!" Link opened the door to the home of the Know-It-All Brothers.

" Link, what happened to Saria?!" Nami asked running over to the unconscious Sage.

" I played the "Song of Time" for her and she grew older," Link tried to explained all that happened.

" We know that! Why is she bleeding?!" Nido yelled.

" I was talking to her and she pushed me on the ground right before a fire arrow come speeding by. She saved my life, again. Then, a figure told her, " Clever Saria, but try this!" She was thrown into the wall by a black blast and I..."

" So, the impact have made her lose consciousness." Nato spoke.  

" Poor girl, she never did anything wrong in her life. How could someone in this world have the intention of hurting her?" Nami said.

Mido looked at the girl he loved with all his heart. " She looks so sad."

" She was like that when I saw her today. I'm not sure why. I found her...never mind," Nami wouldn't speak.

" Please tell us brother!" Nato exclaimed.

" Well, I woke up around four in the morning, like always, and decided to take a walk. Saria usually woke up at five or six, but I could hear crying in the Forest Temple. I used the ladder she made for us to get up there. None of us had visited her in the past seven years and I felt sorry for her, she was abandoned, all alone. I saw here on the bridge, in the courtyard of course, crying. She was looking over the edge muttering something. I ran as fast as I could to stop her when I realized she was going to jump! I used my Hover Boots, and I was able to catch her. When we were on the ground, I put her down and she ran from me."

" Why would she try to take her own life?" Link asked looking at Saria's sad face.

" That's what I had to know! I chased after her and, when I found her, I asked her that same question. All she did was run so I grabbed her hand and wouldn't let go, even when she screamed in pain. I asked her again and she slapped me. She ran through the twisted corridor, jumped on the huge blocks, and ran toward the next room. She dropped her Fairy Ocarina, and when she went to retrieve it, I got her! I pinned her on the ground and demanded her to tell me why! She closed her eyes and thrashed her head from side to side screaming for you Link."

"Me? Why would she call my name?" Link began to grow angry. " What the hell did you do to her?!  IF YOU TOUCHED HER, I SWEAR I'LL KILL YOU!!!!!!"

" Calm down, I didn't touch her. I was just as confused as you are now. I didn't understand why she said that. I told her  that I wanted to know why she would want to kill herself. She answered me strangely, this is what she said to me:

 " You wouldn't understand! You don't know how it's like to be abandoned for seven years, all alone in some dark temple while your friends forget you exist! All of you hate me and I hate all of you too! Get away from me before I kill you!!!!"

" WHAT?! How could she be so cruel as to say that?" Mido asked not wanting to believe his kind hearted love could be so cruel to Nami. 

" Think about it you guys, can you really blame her for saying that?" Link placed his hand on Saria's face. " I mean if you were locked in some old temple by yourself and  even though your friends had the opportunity to see you, they never did, wouldn't it seem as though they didn't care anymore?"

" Yeah," they all said in unison.

" I'll continue. I was hurt by her words and did as she asked. I got off of her and began to walk away when I heard her cry again. I couldn't stand to see or even hear her cry. I turned around and held her in my arms as she wept. I told her I cared about her and that I would never hate her. I told her the others felt the same way too. She continued to cry and would not stop. I didn't understand, why was she so sad? I tried to ask her, but I was too heart broken. I held her in my arms for hours as she cried her heart out. She muttered words every so often, but they were muffled by my close. When she told me to go, I kissed on the cheek and left. I never heard her play her song again, none of us ever heard her play it since she became the Forest Sage."

" She only plays that song when she's happy," Link said with a tear in his eye.

Saria closed her eyes even tighter and called out, " Link!"

" I'm here Saria, it's okay."

" Link, no! Link come back to me, please!"

" Saria," Link whispered as a tear streamed down his face.

" Link don't leave me here alone. I love you, I LOVE YOU!"

" Saria, wake up, wake up!" Nato yelled.

" Link behind you!" Saria screamed in her sleep as her shadowy enemy appeared behind the man she love.
