Chapter 5: REMEMBER



Link sat up in his bed looking around the room seeing that he was in a cell room. He spun around on the bed placing his feet on the floor and trying to stand but quickly sitting back down from the immense pain shooting through his stomach. Link pulled up his shirt and touched the dark are on his stomach making him yell in pain. The door quickly opened and Zelda walked in.

"Link, are you alright?" Zelda asked walking up to the bar doors.

"What did you do to me?" Link said still looking at the dark circle on his stomach.

"Ganon did that to you and I'm trying to find a way to help you." Zelda said placing the book she was holding on the table next to the door.

"Ganon saved me why would he harm me?"

"Because he wanted only to use you to get his revenge on me." Zelda said still looking through her book.

"You lie." Link said finding enough strength to stand and walk over to the bars that were keeping from Zelda.

Zelda looked up from her book and looked into Links eyes. She knew that the man she loved was somewhere inside those dark eyes and she wanted him back in her arms forever.

"Don't you remember who you are?" Zelda said tears filling up in her eyes.

Link looked at the ground trying to remember something, anything.

"All I remember is Ganon telling me he saved my life." Link said looking back up at Zelda.

"Ganon was the one who took you away from me," Zelda said standing up "Ganon stabbed you with his knife, that's how you got that scar on your stomach."

Link pulled up his shirt and looked down at the large scar on his stomach. Zelda walked over to Link and reached out placing her fingers on his stomach. Link looked up at Zelda and stared into her eyes.

*~*

"I was hoping someone would ask me but he hasn't asked me yet."

"Well then will you do something with me after the party?" Link asked

"I thought you'd never ask." Zelda said.

~*~

"Link are you ok?" Zelda asked concerned.

Link grabbed his stomach and fell to his knees groaning in pain.

*~*

The man raised his arm and Link stopped in midair.

"Hello Hero of Time." The man said

"Ganon," Link said surprised he remembered the mans voice.

"Very good hero I'm glad you remember me," Ganon said turning to look at Link.

~*~

"Link what's wrong" Zelda screamed "Please talk to me."

Link looked up at Zelda who was now kneeling on the floor, tears falling down her face. Link wanted to believe her but he didn't understand what he saw in his mind, whether it was what happened or what she wanted him to see.

"How do you know me?" Link asked sitting back down on the bed.

Zelda stood back up and wiped the tears away from her face.

"Well," she began "We met when we were little and Ganon was truing to take over Hyrule and if it hadn't of been for you he would have succeeded and destroyed us all."

"What happened after that?" Link asked beginning to remember only parts of what happened.

"After that we grew up together, we had our share of disagreements but we became best of friends until Ganon showed up that night and took you away from me."

Zelda quickly turned away from Link as tears fell down her face she didn't want Link to see her cry. She could see that he was there but she didn't know if he would ever be the way he used to be but she couldn't give up she needed him back in her life. Zelda wiped the tears away from her face and sat back down at the table and began to look through her book.

Link watched her from his bed not sure if he know her the way she said they did even though deep down something was telling him to believe her he laid back down on the bed and quickly fell asleep.

*****

Impa ran outside the castle quickly taking out a smaller stalfos and ran over to help the guards with the rest.

"Goddesses help us," Impa said aloud.

*****

Zelda looked over at Link who looked like he had fallen asleep. She wanted to go in and sit by him and watch him but she had to find a way to help him first. Zelda began to flip through her book until she couldn't keep her eyes open any longer so she laid her head on the table and fell asleep.

Link awoke suddenly from a sharp pain that went through his body. He sat up and saw Zelda asleep. Link stood up and walked over to the bars and tried to open the cell door but it wouldn't budge.

'Link'

Link stepped back and looked around his cell room.

'Link why haven't you brought her to me'

"Master," Link said bowing his head "Its not my fault she has locked me in this cell and I have no way out."

'You disappoint me Link'

"Please master if you can get me out I can giver her to you now while she sleeps." Link said looking over at Zelda.

'Very well, I will give you another chance don't fail me again.'

With that Link heard something fall behind him. He quickly turned around but saw nothing until he looked down and saw a key lying next to the bed. Link smiled while he picked up the key. He quickly walked over to the door and began to unlock it trying not to make too much noise but what he didn't know was that Zelda had awaken earlier and had heard the whole thing. She slowly opened her eyes and watched Link unlock the door opening it and slip out turning his back to her while he shut the door. She quietly stood up and walked up behind him. She was so close that when Link turned around they were looking into each other's eyes. She could feel his breath on her face and could smell the sweet smell that made him, him.

Zelda looked up at him wishing she could look into Links blue eyes instead of the dark un-natural color that had taken their place. She slowly reached up and touched his face. Link looked into Zelda's eyes getting lost in their beauty until her touch brought him back. He closed his eyes when he smelled the sweet scent of peaches on her skin making him sense that he had smelled that scent somewhere before. But he had a job to do and he was going to do it but he wasn't sure if it was the right thing to do especially after the flashbacks he had experienced. Link opened his eyes as Zelda placed her hand back at her side he wasn't quite sure why but the need to kiss her came over him. He slowly reached up rubbing his thumb across her cheek surprised that she didn't move away from him. Link began to move his face closer to Zelda's until their lips touched and Link began to feel feeling he once knew as if in a dream.

Zelda couldn't believe what was happening, it was what she had wished for, for a long time. She quickly kissed him back until their kiss became so passionate she didn't want it to stop. Link didn't want to stop kissing her but he quickly pulled away to catch his breath. He opened his eyes and looked at Zelda who was smiling at him.

"I love you Link," Zelda said trying to kiss him again but Link moved away when a sharp pain ran through his body making him grab his stomach.

"Link what's wrong?" Zelda asked.

"Don't touch me," Link said backing away from Zelda.

"Link let me help you," Zelda said walking towards him.

"No, stay away from me," Link said falling to the ground. He wanted her help but was afraid of what he would do.

*~*

"What do you want?" Link said still holding his shoulder.

" Exactly what I told the Princess, REVENGE!" Ganon said laughing as he ran toward Zelda.

Ganon grabbed Zelda by the arm before Link could get to her. Ganon pulled out a knife and put it up to Zelda's throat.

"Noooooo," Link yelled "Don't hurt her, take me instead I'm the one that defeated you and sent you to the other dimension."

"I'd rather kill you both," Ganon said "But you do bring up a good point. Stalfos, take away his weapons."

The Stalfos bowed before Ganon and moved toward Link. Link didn't move for fear that if he tried to get away Ganon might hurt Zelda. One Stalfos grabbed Link while the other took away his weapons.

"Now bring him here," Ganon yelled.

The Stalfos that was still holding Link drug him towards Ganon. Link could tell that Zelda was frightened by the look on her face he couldn't stand to see her like this. 'I must protect her' was all he could think about.

"Now let her go," Link bravely said.

Before Link knew what happened Ganon pushed Zelda to the floor and thrust his knife into Links Belly then withdrew it. Ganon snapped his fingers and the Stalfos let go of Link.

Link looked down at his shirt and noticed that his shirt was turning red. He put his hand over the area and turned toward Zelda who had stood up and was watching him. She could see the fear in his eyes as he started to walk towards her. She ran to him as he collapsed on the floor.

"Link what's wrong?" Zelda cried.

She looked down at his hand, which was now covered in blood, she panicked and looked back up at his face she could tell that he looked like he was in a different time, his eyes were looking hazy and she could see the color in his eyes leaving.

"No Link don't leave me," Zelda cried

"Zelda," Link began "I don't think I'm going to make it to our date tonight," he said trying to laugh but coughing instead. A small trickle of blood ran down his mouth across his cheek.

"Oh Link you cant leave me alone I have so much I want to tell you please don't die" Zelda cried.

The convulsions started that wracked Links body so violently that Zelda could hardly hold on to him. Link knew that he didn't have much time; he turned his head slightly to take one last long look into Zelda's eyes he didn't want to forget what she looked like.

"Zelda," Link whispered in an almost fading voice while reaching up to wipe away the freshly fallen tears from her beautiful face "Never forget that I will always love you."

~*~

"He killed me," Link said aloud looking back up at Zelda "And he hurt you. I will make him pay for his lies."

Link tried to stand but fell back to the floor gasping for air. He began to cough up what appeared to be blood but when it hit the floor it disappeared, until finally he felt so sick that he threw up but the only thing that came out was a small black stone of some sort and when it hit the ground it shattered into many pieces and disappeared. Link then lost consciousness because of the pain.
