Good afternoon to all of my adoring fans! *eerie silence; crickets chirp* Ahem, or not. Anywho, It's been awhile since I last updated, but never fear! Here is the next chapter! Thank you to my reviewers who helped with my decision to continue! Although, for those of you who wanted to see Jessica/Link a couple, I'm afraid that's not how it's going to be. I realized how weird Mary-Sues are. And… I didn't want my story to be like that. But I don't want to ruin anything for you. I know, I already have. Sorry. ^_^ I still think you'll like it. Leave a review and tell me what you think!
Disclaimer: No Zelda characters mentioned belong to me. The only characters that do belong to me are Jessica and Myakka.
Chapter Six -Link's View-
Nervous.
I was extremely nervous.
I've saved all of Hyrule from a power-hungry freak, yet I found myself getting very nervous as we entered Kakariko Village.
Kakariko Village is where Myakka was. I was nervous about what Jessica would think about her. What if they didn't get along? They probably wouldn't. Myakka was definitely the jealous type. I could never understand why, though. She knew I liked her.
I decided not think about it too much. I turned to Jessica, who sat behind me on Epona.
Jessica seemed to be enjoying the peaceful night. Kakariko was a really nice place. I thought about settling down here. That way Myakka wouldn't be too far from home.
I began to wonder if Jessica was scared. I knew I was. I mean, who in Nayru's name knew that Ganon had brother? I had no idea what his weak points were. How could I defeat someone (or something, for that matter) when I didn't even know what to do?
"Hey, Link, where are we going?" Jessica asked abruptly, snapping me from my thoughts.
"The inn over there." I pointed over Epona's auburn colored ear to a two-story building.
She followed my finger and nodded. "Oh."
I suddenly noticed that she was being awfully quiet. It worried me because she had been chattering a little while ago. I wondered what was wrong, but I didn't want to ask, sensing that she wanted to be left alone to her thoughts.
-Jessica's View-
Kakariko Village was awesome. The serenity and tranquility of the place was really neat. It was nothing like my small town back home, where there was always the constant buzz of cars and such. It had a pleasant homey feeling to it, and I even felt myself feel a little homesick.
Link had just told me that we'd be staying at an inn. That kinda freaked me out because I didn't remember seeing an inn anywhere in the game, but I took his word for it.
He stopped Epona in front of a building and hopped off. He tied her to a post before helping me off. "We'll be staying here tonight," he told me.
I nodded and followed him as we walked inside to a dimly lit room. A girl who looked to be about our age stood behind the front desk. She was pretty, with long ginger hair and sparkling green eyes.
"Good evening, Myakka," Link said, a touch of nervousness hugging his voice.
"Hi Link!" She smiled brightly, and I knew she would've hugged him if I wasn't there. "Would you like a room?"
He nodded. "Two please."
That statement seemed to make her smile widen. She seemed to like the idea that Link and I weren't together. "Okay." She turned to the key rack behind her. "That'll be 100 rupees."
"Wow. Myakka, are the prices going up again?" Link chuckled and pulled out his money bag.
She giggled and took his money before giving him the two keys in return.
They began to make small talk, catching up on all that had happened since he had last been to Kakariko.
Navi flew to me and landed on my shoulder. "That's Myakka."
I smiled and replied, "I know."
"She likes Link."
"I noticed."
"You remember when I told you that Link and Zelda were only friends? Well, Myakka is part of the reason."
She had my attention. "Really? What do you mean?"
"I'll explain later," she said before fluttering back to Link, who was waiting patiently for us to follow him to our rooms.
I smiled politely at Myakka as I passed her.
She returned the smile, even if hers was forced.
