Hey all! Guess who's back! lol. Here's chapter four. Wait, I have something to tell y'all. I was reading over what I've already written, and I noticed that I have way too many compound sentences. I'm going to try to cut down on that. It's really annoying! Anywho…enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Zelda characters…please tell me you didn't think I did. There are better things to read than this disclaimer, go read the story! `do y'all know who I need to thank? Thanks ayla!`
Chapter 4 (Link's View)
We made it into the basement of the castle, Jessica and Navi both making comments about how absurd it was to be sneaking in. But that's okay; just as long as we didn't get caught.
"You brought us all this way, just to come through the basement?" Navi asked edgily.
"Shh…Zelda is expecting us. Well, she's expecting me," I said.
(Jessica's View)
Zelda was expecting him? Do they have something going on? Some fans of the game thought so, but every time I played, I just couldn't see it happening. "Maybe I should wait outside if she's expecting you," I said uneasily.
Link gave me a look that told me that he wanted me to stay. "I want you to meet her. Besides, you'd probably get caught if you waited outside."
"Shouldn't there be guards down here?" Navi asked, mainly to herself. She sighed and hovered above my shoulder before making herself comfortable there. "They're just friends," she said. "You don't have to worry."
"Worry about what?" I asked. Surely Navi didn't think I had thing for Link….
"You like him don't you?" Luckily, she was talking low enough so only I could hear. Link had wandered off into the darkness.
"What? Me and Link? I don't think so." I shook my head, not believing she would actually think that.
"I think he likes you," Navi said.
I looked at her like she was crazy. I was about to tell her that she was, but a soft voice interrupted.
"Link?" the voice called out.
Link came out of the shadows and stepped into the pool of light cast by a torch. "Zelda," he replied as a girl about our age joined him in the circle of light.
As I had guessed, she was prettier in real life. In the game, the people always looked fake, but Link, the townspeople, and Zelda all proved that wrong. They were real, living people. Zelda had long blonde hair that went past her shoulders. Her blue eyes sparkled in the light. Unlike the game, her features were anything but pointy.
I lingered in the shadows, not wanting her to see me for fear of her reaction to a stranger. They embraced. I couldn't stop the jealously that flared up within me.
"Sure you don't like him," Navi smirked.
(Link's View)
Zelda's face showed nothing except extreme worry. "Link," she said seriously, "I want to thank you for meeting me like this. I'm sorry you had to sneak in."
I nodded, and she continued. "The past few nights, I have not been able to sleep soundly. My dreams are filled with new visions of war and bloodshed. I told Impa of these visions. She told me they were only the effects of the excitement within Hyrule that happened a few months ago."
I nodded again, not knowing what to think. If she were having visions again, I'd have to go out and fight again. I was tired of the fighting. There had to be more to life that fighting and killing. "Is Ganondorf involved?"
Zelda's bottom lip trembled, and she threw herself into my arms. "Oh, Link, I don't know. I haven't seen him, but I'm so scared," she said, her voice shaky and frightened.
I held her there in my arms, feeling awkward with Jessica and Navi watching.
"Link, we have to do something," Zelda said, looking up at me through her teary eyes.
"I don't know what to do. Where am I supposed to go?" I asked.
Zelda looked at me for a long while. "Link, you must go to the Temple of Time." She closed her eyes and let out a sharp breath. "Ganon's brother is on his way to Hyrule. He wants revenge. He wants you dead."
Aha! Left ya in suspense? Well, I was hoping to; I dunno if I really did. I will have Chapter 5 is on its way! Yee-haw! I have a song stuck in my head! Dammit! Well, it's not really the WHOLE song….it's Fat Joe's "What's Luv…" *stroll into the club with my hat down, Michael Jack-style…* I dunno if y'all have heard it. It's a good song but very annoying! Oh well…. Bye y'all! ~jess~ *ps: I'm sorry this chapter is short. I promise I will make it up to y'all!
