Disclaimer: I dun own the zelda characters, I just use em for fun!

A/N: Welcome to chapter 14 =P. Thanks to all of my reviewers! You guys are the people who keep me writing. So everybody keep reviewing, and tell me if I'm doing something wrong.

Malon slipped her red tank top over her head, and looked down at herself.

She had red loose pants on, and a red tank top. Her hair was up in a ponytail and her shoes were brown, they matched her belt, which held her two glittering swords.

Since she had graduated top in her rank of swords fighting she had the higher rank clothing.

She smiled as she looked in the mirror, she never knew she could look so much like a gerudo.

Her skin had tanned since she was out in the desert, so the only really difference from her and the gerudo's were her ears, which were pointier and her eyes, which were blue, instead of the regular brown.

She slung her white sack over her shoulder, containing food for their journey. She took a last glimpse at her room before walking down the corridor.

***

Malon stepped out of the fortress and watched the gerudos packing for themselves.

The hylian bit her lip, many of these gerudos would die, she knew. Maybe she would too.

She was nervous.

She put her fingers in her mouth and whistled shrilly, and her white horse, Cyan, came running.

Malon ran her fingers through the horse's mane and climbed up onto him.

Aiona trotted over to her on her horse and smiled at her.



Malon smiled,

Aiona chuckled and studied her, You'll be fine, don't worry.

Malon smiled and watched the gerudo's line up, and follow Aiona as she trotted down the hill and towards the castle, with Malon following in the rear.

***

Malon clutched her bow as they passed through the dark field. Many thieves, and ganondorf's followers passed through the field at night.

As they neared the bridge Malon could swear that she saw something pass through the darkness.

Suddenly a cry from one of the gerudos seemed to start battle cries from the old deserted town.

At least one hundred men, dressed in black rushed towards them, swords raised.

The gerudo's swords clashed against the enemy's.

Malon immediately raised her bow and let an arrow fly through the night sky, slicing one of the men's throats.

She continued to pelt arrows at the men, until she had no more arrows.

She was almost knocked off her horse by a man on horseback, who sliced at her.

She grabbed her swords and galloped into the sea of men, slicing at many of them.

They backed off from her and she raced towards the castle. A few of them raced after her, and some gerudos followed as well.

Cyan went as fast as he could, they raced towards the castle, but she was stopped in her tracks and her mouth flew open.

A giant rainbow bridge went from the side of the cliff to a giant black, evil looking castle. She'd never seen anything so horrifying.

Shouts came from behind her and she turned to see the battle had seemed to follow her towards the castle.

She tried to urge Cyan to cross the bridge but he reared up and knocked her off.

Malon tried to catch her horse but he galloped away before she could.

An arrow nicked the side of her cheek, and stuck in the ground behind her, leaving a trail of blood on her cheek.

She took a deep breath and stepped on the bridge, and to her surprise held her up.

More arrows started to fly at her, so she ran up the bridge into the dark castle.

***

Malon ran down the steps and through the door.

She frantically looked around, and her eyes settled on the giant monster head looking thing in the middle of the room.

She ran at it and into the monster's mouth.

She called and started to climb up the stairs.

Malon ran up the tower, and through a giant door, which slammed behind her.

Her heart seemed to stop as she looked at the limp figure on the floor.

She rushed over to him and stared down at his face.

She said in a hoarse whisper.

His eyes slowly opened, and he coughed, some blood ran down the side of his mouth.

A gerudo? He said weakly his voice cracking.

Tears were pouring down her cheeks now for the first time in so many weeks.

Link... it's me... She sobbed.

His eyes widened a little, His eyes seemed to glisten with tears.

He repeated again, barley believing it.

She nodded and put her lips against his forehead.

Malon... go... now He said

Ganondorf... no... He whispered, reaching up and putting his hand on her cheek.

She cried

I'm not leaving without you!

He smiled, Malon... I can't...

She shook her head, No... Link you can, stay with me, please!

He coughed again and shook his head, No... Malon.

Her tears fell onto the floor, She repeated in a whisper.

Malon... I love you. He said touching her hand.

She screamed.

I'm sorry... He said.

Link... please just hang on, I'll get you out of here. She said grabbing him and putting him over her shoulder.

Malon you can't, I'm too heavy. He said, but she stubbornly picked up his sword from the ground and carried him slowly down the stairs.

She felt like her muscles were on fire, she felt faint, but she would never give up.

She would die before he left her again.

He croaked.

Her legs shook and she swerved a little but she kept going.

When she got down to the bottom of the tower and out in front of the head, she was taking each step very slowly.

Link had fainted, and if she didn't hurry he would die from blood loss.

She stumbled out onto the rainbow bridge and saw that most of the enemy had fled or been defeated.

Aiona rushed up towards her and she collapsed on the side of the cliff.

Need... fairy... give... to... Link. She gasped, closing her eyes in pain.

Aiona quickly opened a bottle and a fairy circled around link, healing his cuts.

The gerudo studied him and looked at Malon, saying quietly, He's not breathing.

Malon sat up and rushed over to him, and pushed on his chest, repeatedly. She put her mouth over his and tried to get air into him, but nothing happened.

She sank back on her knees and screamed, throwing her head back.

It hurt more than anything she had ever felt in her life.

She looked up into the sky and screamed, Goddess!?! What did I do to deserve this?!?

Aiona put a hand on her back, but she brushed it off and her tears ran over her cheeks and onto Link's face.

***

Link put his hands over his eyes as he was nearly blinded by a bright light.

A woman appeared in front of her.

Link gasped,

Zelda smiled and said, Link... you aren't ready for this world yet, you can't give up. If you give up now Hyrule will perish, along with all of it's people.

Link opened his mouth to reply, but she pushed him back and he fell back into the darkness.

***

Link suddenly sat up and coughed up some blood.

Malon gawked at Link and her arms flew around his neck and she hugged him tightly.

Your alive! She screamed, grinning from ear to ear.

He smiled, And so are you.

Link looked around and heard the last few battle cries, before all of the men were defeated.

What? I missed a battle? He said looking at Malon again.

She nodded, Yes, we won.

But what about Ganondorf?

Malon shrugged, I didn't see him, I thought you would know.

Link stood up and grabbed his sword and shield.

Malon looked up worriedly at him, You aren't going to...

I have to. He interrupted.

I'm going with you. She stood up and looked him straight in the face.

You can't! You might...

I'm never leaving you again.

He bit his lip, No I can't let you, it's too dangerous.

Malon put her hand on the side of his face, You can't stop me, nothing can keep me from you.

Link leaned forward to kiss her but Aiona cleared her throat and he straightened up again.

Your weak anyway, you need me.

Link sighed,

She reached down and put her hand in his, Just believe me.

He opened his mouth to protest but Malon looked at Aiona.

Just keep everybody here, ganondorf might send some more men out.

Aiona smiled, good luck.

Malon put her hand in Links and smiled up at him. He sighed and nodded, and they entered the castle, hand in hand.
