Author's note: Ok now this I really should say is were the plot unfolds. Lovely isn't it? I am sure you can see were exactly it is going from here. Alright! A big shout out to all my reviewers! Enjoy!





Link took a nervous step back and eyed the knights in confusion. They formed a shape similar to a triangle. One in the front, two behind, etc. The one in front had a long spear readily aimed for Link.

"Excuse me officers? What is my offence?" Link asked as he raised an eye brow.

"I already told you bastard! Kidnapping the princess." The knight raised his head and gestured to Zelda behind Link. Zelda lowered her eyes scanning the knights.

"Excuse me, he wasn't kidnapping me!" She spat in frustration. She stepped in front of Link, still in the waters of the lake and looked to the men.

"Sorry Princess." The knight said not looking into her eyes. "Your father's orders." He pulled out a scroll and pointed it toward Zelda. Zelda slowly looked down at the rolled document. Link remained silent.

"Well I refuse to press charges." She said grabbing hold of the scroll. The night grunted slightly and in one swift movement, yanked it from her. Zelda's face started to turn red with frustration and rage. The knight smiled slightly and walked, still splashing the waters under him. Zelda turned and watched him.

"Link I think you'd better go peacefully." He said, deepening his voice. Link looked passed him to Zelda, than to other guards behind her. He shrugged.

"Zelda, I can't have this lead to blood shed." He looked to his feet. If he had his sword, or any weapon other than a few rocks and sticks, he could have easily taken on the squad of knights. However, he wasn't planning on the king finding them so he was pretty much without any means of combat. The night smirked.

"Glad you still have your senses in tact Link old boy." The knight patted Link hard on the back and proceeded to turn the boy around to immobilize his arms. "Surprised you still have your tongue boy." He grumbled. The remark was obviously not meant for Link's ears. It filled Link with pure rage. Anyone who would dare insult Zelda, would be at the mercy of the hero of time. But the knight tied Link's arms across each other.

"Shut up you shit." Link gritted his teeth and growled in a low tone. The knight looked to Link with a mixture of confusion and aggravation. The other knights' armor rattled.

"What was that boy?" He hissed.

"Don't talk of Zelda like that.." He responded swallowing his anger. Zelda was still behind Link trying to hear the conversation.

"I say boy! Do not talk to a knight of hyrule like that!" He raised his voice enough so it was audible to Zelda. Link lowered his head and bit his lip.

"I will talk to you as I please." He turned and glared angrily at the knight "If you insult Zelda, that is." Zelda had begun to walk toward the two.

"What is that about you insulting me?" Zelda said as she grabbed the gruff man's shoulder. He looked over his shoulder and rolled his eyes.

"None of your concern lady.." He said not turning.

"I believe it is!" Zelda called out loudly. She shoved the man. His large stature had only caused him to jut forward slightly. Zelda even had to balance herself with her left foot. Link turned quickly to Zelda.

"Hush Zelda.." He whispered gently. Her causing a riot would only worsen the situation. He didn't want her hurt. This knight had no concern only viewing Zelda as a woman and nothing more.

"Yes! I say shut up bitch!" A second later the knight received a sharp pain on his left cheek. Zelda had slapped him. The knight acted by grabbing Zelda's arms. "Quiet woman!" She struggled with him.

"Let her alone!" Link hollered. He ran towards the struggling two, his hands still tied to each other and kicked the gruff knight in the shin. The night dropped Zelda arms and attempted to grab his shin. Link kicked him in his jaw causing him to fall onto his back. The other knights began to charge at Link. Zelda reached into the fallen soldier's boot and pulled a dagger. She cut the ropes that retrained Link's arms, grabbed his hand and started in a sprint. Link quickly followed her as the lovers darted away from the scene. The mob of knights behind them approached.

"I apologize princess." He called to her as they huffed the way. They had no idea were exactly they were running but knew if they wanted to see each other again, they would have to escape them.

"Think nothing of it Link." Zelda laughed as she continued her way to no were. They reached Epona and mounted her. Epona didn't even need to be told, she immediately started sprinting away.

"C'mon men! GET EM!" Link heard behind him. He didn't even want to look back. The sun had already risen above them and the morning temperature had caused him to perspirate. They headed for kokiri forest. It seemed the only safe place for now. The men could not be seen from were they were. When they reached the forest, they both jumped off Epona and ran into the woods hoping to Nayru they hadn't been spotted.

"Sire, they have gone missing." The nervous guard reported. The swarm of knights had attacked him at the front gate ordering him to get word to the king. The wounded leader threatened to cut his throat and bury him under the stone of the dungeon if he didn't follow his orders. The king sighed.

"Why am I not entirely surprised about that?" He looked up to the guard. "Knowing those bunch of knights I had a feeling their cocky attitudes would cause trouble." He wiped his brow.

"Sire.. They men say they saw the lovers running toward the forest full of never growing children."

"That does make sense seeing as that peasant boy lives there. Alright than. Let me. Obviously Link can take on my men even without a sword. Or should I say he can take on a bunch of cocky locky soldiers with his hands tied behind his back?" The king mumbled. The guard awaited a response.

"Sire..?"

"Now now. I suggest you run off. I will find my head knight to take care of this mess. Were ever he might be. Let me tell you this though, compared to this knight, this warrior, Link. the Hero of Time, looks like a squire." He chuckled. "Send fourth for Zenom! It's time for a little reunion between old friends."
