Chapter 3

Ash walked along side Link, she was wearing a blue dress that trailed a foot behind her. She smiled and hugged Link's arm tightly. He kissed her lightly on the head, and they kept walking through the Sacred Forest Meadow. Link helped her through the maze, and the went up the secret ladder that went above the maze.

"Where are we going Link?" She asked looking worriedly at Link.

"It's a surprise." Link said climbing down another ladder that lead to the middle of the maze surrounded by brick walls. There was a small hole in the middle of the floor which Link took Ash's hand and leaped in.

"OK, we are here." He said helping Ash up since she landed on her butt. She rubbed her tail bone, and looked around. It was a small cave. Wild flowers and butterflies were lining the walls covered in vines. He led her through a dark tunnel straight ahead, and then a bright room blinded them both. Ash squinted and saw the faerie fountain.

"Link, it's beautiful!" She said splashing around in the healing water. Small faeries hovered around their heads as the gleefully splashed around. "Link, how'd you find it?" She asked letting a faerie come land on her finger.

"I was supposed to meet Saria here when I was little. I thought that this way back was much easier than going through all those monsters again." Link smiled. He brushed some of Ash's hair back behind her ear. She looked down at her shoes. They were wet, and her dress was too.

"Oh dear, look at that! Ha, my dress, it's soaking." She said lifting the bottom.

"Here, allow me madam." Link said picking her up, carrying her to the little portal that will allow them to get back up. Link stumbled and fell upon Ash. She laughed heartily and Link laughed too. He had hardly ever laughed since he met her. She made him glow inside. She put her arms around his neck, and he caressed her back lightly kissing her on the lips.

"Awe Link, you're the greatest." Link smiled.

"I know." She smacked him on the shoulder and he helped her up.

"So, where to?" She asked as Link picked her up again, only to notice that he couldn't climb the ladder with her in his arms. He set her back down and they started to climb up.

"Do you want to go to Zora's River?" Link asked raising his eyebrows.

"I've never been there before." Link smiled and helped her back across the top of the maze. When they reached the end of the maze Link grabbed her hand and ran to the end of the Lost Forest. When they finally reached the end of the forest, Link showed her around The Kokiri Forest.

"I live here." He pointed out his little tree house. She ran up to the little dinosaur picture and giggled slightly. Link walked back over to her.

" I drew a picture exactly like this when I was about 10 or 11." She smiled, but it faded as Link's face was focused sadly upon it. "Link, what's the matter?" She asked taking Link's head in her hands. Link sighed.

" I was being made fun of here. When I was little about 11, I suppose, I *~*~*~*~Past*~*~*~*~*~

"Link, you are so stupid, no faerie or anything. You don't even know how to fight. You're as dumb as a stupid Dinosaur!" Laughed a little red headed boy with a small faerie smacking up against Link pushing him closer to his house.

"Shut up Mido! I'm just like you! My faerie's going to come!" Mido only laughed. He shoved Link aside and started to draw something on Link's tree house base. Link tried to shove Mido away, but Mido elbowed him in the stomach. Link fell to the ground, angry tears stinging his eyes.

"There! It's a work of art ain't it Link?!" He laughed backing away. Link ran up to his tree's base. There was a little drawing of what appeared to be a dinosaur saying "I'm stupid just like Link!" Link turned around angrily staring at Mido. His fists were clenched tight, and his teeth gritted. He charged straight at Mido while his back was turned and knocked him down. He punched him hard in the jaw bruising his hand during the process. He hit Mido at hard as he could. Saria and Emily *The little girl with the pig tails* tried to hold Link back away from Mido.

"Link! Stop please! You're hurting him! Stop Link STOP!" Saria screamed as many more people from the village helped pull him away. Finally Link wasn't strong enough and was pulled backwards. Mido was knocked out. His lip, nose, and forehead was bleeding. Bruises started to appear on his jaw and eye. Slowly Mido regained consciousness. He pointed at Link.

"If I could I'd banish you from here, but I can't do that so I'm never gonna allow you to ever go anywhere at all! I mean! GAH! I'm too angry to mess with you now, but you will regret this for the rest of your life!" Mido said as tears streamed down his face. He ran off back to his house.

*~*~*~*~*~*Present~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Link, I never knew that your life was so harsh. I'm so sorry." She hugged Link around the neck squeezing him tightly. Link held her and then broke it taking her out of the Kokiri Village. He took out his ocarina and played Epona's Song. Epona galloped happily towards them. In a couple minutes they were off to Zora's River.
