Author's note: This is the real beginning of the story. Nice juicy plot. *Drools* Mmmmmm plot…. Anyways, thanks to all those who reviewed. I really do appreciate it. Uhmm more reviews brings more chapters. I plan on this one being long as long as I gets reviews. Ok, have fun reading!

Link watched as Zelda road off. The slow rising sun glistened around her as if she was an angel send down by the goddesses. At least, she was to him. He stared at her until she was out of his sight. He felt a little guilty for keeping his angel out so late. He knew if her father found out he would be forbidden from the castle as well as from Zelda. However, the guilt was over ridden by the love and joy he felt being with her and hopefully the joy it brought to her. He was knocked out of his trance when heard the first resident of the morning opening and closing their door. Link turned around to watch the old woman who occupied the house walk out with her even older husband. It made Link think. He thought of him and Zelda growing old together. Having children and dying together. It made his already good mood rise into a great mood. By now, several towns folk were already bustling the streets. Link didn't know how tired he really was until he noticed this and decided he had better start heading home. With a song and Zelda in his heart he walked to his home in kokiri.

Zelda's horse began to pick up speed. She leaned forward slightly and grabbed the reigns.

"C'mon Es, we have to get home." She told her faithful steed. It obeyed and galloped as fast as it could without bumping into various gates around the castle. By the time she had reached the main gate, most of the castle had heard of her disappearance. Her horse charged at the gate. It reared up and sent Zelda flying onto the ground. She hadn't injured her head, which was good, however, she landed directly on her arm. It hurt a great deal however, she shrugged it off and kept her mind on her ultimate goal… Keep her father from blowing his top. The guard who was watching the main entrance ran to the fallen princess. She still wore her disguise so he wasn't aware that this was the princess of hyrule.

"Hai tresspassa!" The guard spoke to her in an odd accent. He grabbed her other arm and hauled her off the ground. "Hou are you to be trasspassin though tese ere gates? Well I be telling ye one thin! Hou aint getting passed me!" Zelda winced. Her arm started to ache violently even though he wasn't grabbing the bad one. She became angered with the guard and with her bad arm, she lowered the hood revealing her as princess. The guard, shocked, dropped the young princess onto the ground causing her to land on her bad arm.

"Oh shit!" She growled as she pulled herself off the ground. The guard went to help her but she refused to have him pick her up. Zelda tossed her hair back and turned her attention to the guard.

"Hai me princess, I do apologize. Ye didn't recognize ye wit dat hood coverin yer face!" He stuttered slightly on princess.

"Accepted." Zelda stated quickly. "I wish to chat with you later, but now I must hurry before my father has me thrown into the dungeon!" She grabbed her horse by it's reigns and ran off.

Zelda ran into the castle. She was praying to the goddesses that her father wouldn't catch her. She past several servants along the way to her room. When she made it, she pulled out her key and jammed it into the lock. She was very nervous and fumbled as she twisted it. The door flung open and she stumbled into her room. She took off her disguise, put on her night gown and jumped into her bed. She ruffled her hair slightly to make it look like she had been sleeping. She heard a knock at her door.

"ZELDA!" A gruff voice hollered into her room "You had better be in there girl!" It was Zelda's father. He sounded pretty angry. Zelda put her head under the covers.

"Listen here young lady, open the door this instant!" He banged on the door and she rolled out of bed. She tried her best to conceal her wounded arm. She slipped it unto the sleeve of her night gown. She opened the door.

"Yes father?" She asked pretending to yawn. "Why have you called me?" Her father's face was red with anger. Zelda didn't show it but she was extremely nervous.

"Zelda…. You know perfectly well why.." Her father's voice sounded low but full of anger. He clenched his teeth. "Explain your self…."

"Father… I…." She had to think of a quick excuse. Something that might sound realistic. "I was parched last night father. I traveled to the bottom of the castle to the cooking area. I took some water to drink ad sat at the cook's table. I must have dozed off. Earlier this morning I realized I fell asleep and came to my room." She tried to sound convincing. Her father had heard of the guard at the main gate's report. He knew she was lying though her teeth. He eyed her slightly. He knew his daughter far to well to be fooled.

"Ah yes, daughter.. I suppose you could speak the truth. However…" He grabbed her left, injured, arm and pulled up the sleeve of her night gown "Could you explain this?" he pointed to her swelling arm. She winced.

"I uhh… Tripped on my way to the kitchen. It was…." She swallowed "Dark?" Her father shook his head.

"You are not to see him anymore, Zelda." He said simply. Zelda felt the tears building up.

"Father! I love him! You cannot keep me from being with the one I love!" She protested.

"I can, and I will! Daughter, he is a peasant. He is not good enough for you! He would be a poor husband! How would he feed you? Answer me that!"

"I would aid him in finding food father!"

"FINDING?! No daughter of mine would have to FIND food! Besides he would ruin the family name. You must marry a prince so you and him can rule the kingdom safely after I have left this world." Zelda shrugged and started to wimper. She loved Link. She wanted to be with him. And here her father was telling her she couldn't. It was a blow to her heart. She ran into her room and slammed the door in her father's face. He sighed and walked off to follow out his royal duties.

Link stumbled into his house in the lost woods. He had long since out grown his small tree house in the kokiri forest. So, he built a small house right in the center of the woods. He loved being alone listening to the sound of the stalfo children playing their music. He opened his cottage's door and stepped inside. He yawned loudly and slumped onto his straw filled bed. He was exhausted and almost immediately fell asleep. He dreamed of Zelda and him married and happy together (What a surprise!). He hoped Zelda hadn't gotten into to much trouble he would feel horrible if she was punished because of him. Suddenly, he heard a knocking at the door. He ignored it at first and figured that maybe it was just part of his dream. He heard it again, this time he arose from his bed groggily. He opened the door. No one was there… He grunted and mumbled "Little stalfos…" He looked down and saw a shimmering pink piece of paper at his feet. He knew it was from Zelda. He eagerly unfolded it. It read:

Dear Link,

I am sorry I had to leave so soon my love. My heart is broken… My father forbids me from seeing you anymore. He thinks you won't make a good husband. However, I refuse to let him control my heart. My darling, meet me at the same spot at 2 AM. I must see you again.

With love now and forever,

Zelda

He folded the sheet and put it in his tunic's breast pocket. He had to get some sleep. He was excited but he feared he wouldn't be able to meet her again so early if he wasn't fully rested. He walked into his house, placed the note on his side table, and crawled into bed…..

W00t w00t! Chapter 2 is finished. I know I spent much more time on Zelda than I did on Link so no need to complain about that in the reviews. I had to roll at the real plot though. Rollin rolling rolling… *Sings*  Rolling rolling rolling roll baaaaack. *ahem* anyways thanks to all you reviewers. Keep on reviewing!
