Past and Present
I love her.
I've always loved her.
Ever since I first saw her.
Sure.
It was just a little kiddy crush.
But it all started…..
Seven years ago…..
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I did it! I finally got past those guards.
Whew.
That was tough.
I walked in the small courtyard in the middle of the castle.
And there I saw her. She was looking through a window, crouched down.
Like she was hiding.
I walked up to her.
She must have heard me, because she abruptly turned around.
We stared at each other for a moment.
She then said, "W-who...are you?"
"My name is Link..." I started.
"I'm Princess Zelda…hey! You…you have a fairy! You're from the forest?" she questioned.
"Yeah, I am. The Great Deku Tree…he told me t-to come here…" I said nervously with a hint of sadness in my voice.
The Great Deku Tree.
He was a good friend of mine.
He was.
"What's wrong?" The Princess asked.
"The Great Deku Tree…he died," I explained. Zelda gasped.
"He passed away?! Oh no…,"
I looked up at her.
"What?"
"I…I had a prophecy…first The Great Deku Tree…he developed an illness…and died…then you came…and then… Ganondorf, the man in there," she pointed at the window, "took over the castle…then all of Hyrule...," she looked up at me with fear in her eyes.
That's when I knew.
That's when I knew I had to save Hyrule.
I was meant to save Hyrule.
And I had to save Zelda.

**AN** So…how was that for a beginning? This is my first real story, and I want to make it a good one. And yes, I am an L/Z fan.
