The sun had begun to set, and the lights of hyrule, once more began to fade. Link sat near the window keeping guard of his tiny little cottage. Zelda was resting on his bed. She hadn't gotten much sleep lately and now was a better time than any to catch up on it. Link was used to not getting much sleep. When he did, it was very deep and always refreshing. Link looked at the sleeping Zelda. As she was when she was awake, she was very pretty sleeping. Link knew he had to stay up. But the lure of his bed was great. He was utterly exhausted. But, he had to keep Zelda safe. He walked over to the bed. He slowly sat down, not wanting to awake his princess.
"A few minutes won't make a difference." He yawned stretching his arms and gently lying down next to her. The movement of the bed caused her to wake up. She kept silent and made as though she was still sleeping. She listened to Link's breath slow down. He was truly tired and she had been keeping him awake long enough. When she was sure he was fast asleep, she rolled off the bed and went to the spot were Link was standing guard.
"Taking it in shifts is better, Link." She said in a whisper. She knew he didn't hear it. But it didn't matter. The night went by slowly. Every so often Zelda would drift off in a doze but would knock herself back into consciences. When it was about 4 AM, Link awaking was heard. She turned and saw him rising groggily from the bed. He yawned loudly and looked over to see Zelda wasn't in the bed. He saw her sitting by the window, looking at him and smiling. He got up and went to her. He knelt down on his knee, put his arm around her, and kissed her ear.
"I see you're awake." He said smiling.
"I can see you were tired." She laughed and kissed him. "You slept for a good four hours." Link looked out the window and saw the sun beginning to rise.
"I guess so." He said turning back to her. He walked over to the table in the kitchen and pulled over another chair to sit by her.
"Link?" Zelda asked. She lowered her head, looking away from him. "If you really don't want to get married now, I would understand. I mean, I know it is a bad time. I was maybe a little too caught up in the moment to realize how dangerous it really is." Link looked at her, slightly shocked. She had seemed to set on marrying as soon as possible and now she was changing her mind.
"Zelda, you know I would do anything for you. If you want to marry, let's marry. There is nothing I want more than to be with you." He placed his hand under her chin and raised her head so she would look at him. She was on the verge of crying. "Zelda," he whispered kissing her forehead and embracing her. "We will marry, I promise you. Everything will be ok. I know the goddesses are with us now." He whipped away the tears staining her face.
"Link, why must we be so far apart? Why couldn't I just be born into a peasant family? Why must their even be these groups? " She asked, sobbing. She knew he didn't have an answer.
"Zelda, there is a reason for everything. You are a princess for a reason. I am a peasant for a reason. There are social groups, and pecking orders for a reason. Why we are being kept apart because of it? It bewilders me." He said soothingly, trying to calm her down. Zelda buried her head into his chest. "I never want to be without you." He added. It came from the bottom of his heart. She was all he loved. It was torture before they had become a couple. He had felt strong feelings for her, even in his youth. Unsure of her feelings, he hid his. When they were 15, Link confessed unable to hide them any longer. Zelda responded by leaping into his arms. Since than, the secret meetings became regular. Now at 17, they were both determined to spend their lives together.
**** Zemon stood outside the castle gates. He didn't even bother moving. He didn't no were to start he didn't even know the boy, were he lived or were he liked to be with Zelda. The guard at the gates stared at him strangely.
"Sir, do you need directions or something?" The guard asked. Zemon didn't even look at the guard.
"No." He said. He than got an idea. He turned around and walked, slowly and menacingly over the guard. "But, perhaps you can help me." He said slyly.
"Uhmmm," Zemon's tone of voice made the guard uncomfortable "How can I assist you sir?"
"Do you by any chance know a young man named Link?" He asked raising his brow.
"Yes I do sir. Quiet a charming young fellow he is."
"Well by any chance, do you know were he lives?"
"I do believe so sir." The guard responded.
"Were than?"
"Oh I am afraid I cannot tell you sir." The guard said smirking. "Well, at least not without a small fee." Zemon looked at the guard disgusted. He shrugged.
"Alright how much?" Zemon asked reaching into his pocket.
"Well what do you think is fair?" The guard said, seeing he had control of the situation now. Zemon grew irritated.
"10 rupees!" He growled getting more annoyed. He pulled out a sack of rupees and tossed it to him. "Now talk!"
"He lives in the kokiri forest." He said putting the rupees in his pouch. "Or at least he did. The kokiri never grow old so he probably moved or something."
"Well, that's a start." He turned his back to the guard.
"Pleasure doin business with ya sir!" The guard called back to him. Zemon turned around charged at the guard violently, and punched him hard in his nose. Blood fell from his face. The guard lowered himself against the gate and slid down.
"The pleasure is mine." He laughed and started to jog away from the scene.
**** Zemon entered the forest. Instantly, swarms of never growing children were gathered around him. Slightly disturbed, he took several steps back. He asked a few children were Link was. They told him they saw him run to the lost woods with a tall girl. Zemon smiled. The children pointed to the lost woods. Zemon instantly ran towards it. When he entered, he realized how lost, the lost woods were.
"Crap! How the hell does the boy know were to go when he comes home everyday?" He spat in frustration. The tunnels would lead to no were, bring him back to the kokiri forest and he would have to start over.
**** "Link, something is not right. My father is approaching." Zelda said out of no were while Link prepared breakfast. He looked to Zelda from the two eggs he was frying.
"Zelda, do you think your father would actually travel into the woods? No offence but the man barely leaves his throne room." He returned to the eggs. Trying to make sure they came out perfect.
"No, it isn't my father." Zelda's expression became blank. "One of his men. One he called from far away specifically for this." She became worried. She walked to Link who had let the eggs burn completely listening to Zelda. Zelda's powers were scary. Of no were, she can see men coming for her or Link on any occasion.
"Were is he?" Link asked, fright over coming him.
"He is in the lost woods. He is having great difficulty finding us however. We must escape now!" Zelda's voice became louder. Link grabbed Zelda's hand and ran outside of his home. "We have time Zelda. If he is lost he will be lost for a while. But, we must go now." Link stared at the growing sun preying he and Zelda weren't found.
