Chapter 3

"Link what do you mean he?" Her grip tightened on Arrow. He swallowed and stepped from the light, his figure now seeming less threatening.
"Dad?" Link looked at the Zelda covered Arrow who was fidgeting. "Yes?" "I am Sorry for using my present on you." She dropped her gaze to her blankets and noticed wet spots on her shirt.
"Mom are you crying?" Link looked at Zelda who was holding Arrow tightly. "Zelda are you okay?" Zelda looked at Link and smiled. She stood letting go of squished Arrow. "Yes I am fine, but who was here, why weren't the guards around?" Link shrugged and looked at Arrow. "Arrow why did you scream?" Arrow felt a feeling as though she was two year old, wimpy girl. "Dad it was nothing, a nightmare." She looked at the floor feeling low that she had lied to him. He didn't seem convinced. He gave her a stern look that made Arrow feel worse than before.
"Well next time just come to our room." Link looked at Zelda and walked out of the room, Zelda walking behind. He closed the doors and turned to Zelda.
"Zelda she lied to us. I know there was something there, I felt Gannon's presence." He looked a bit unsure of himself.
"Link I think you are getting paranoid. Maybe since there has been no trouble around Hyrule your expecting it when something goes wrong." This hit Link hard.
"Zel-" Zelda placed her fingers on his lips and took his hand. "Lets go back to bed and get some sleep." He nodded slowly and walked back to there room. He couldn't be paranoid. Something was wrong, but no one would believe him.

"Blacky I feel awful. I lied to dad. That was bad. He probably knows too." Her voice trailed off and she hugged the stuffed animal and cried herself to sleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Morning~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~

The hall was empty but breakfast food on the table. Arrow awoke and was escorted to the table. She smiled weakly to the new guards and sat down her head on her arms on the table. Her eyes were puffy and her spirits low. Guilt was eating at her. She had tried convincing herself that it had been a dream and that she hadn't lied since it had been late. In her heart she knew it was real and something had been wrong.
Link and Zelda approached the Breakfast Table talking energetically about some ruling. Arrow glanced at her follow who looked at her quickly than back at Zelda. Arrow hung her head and looked at the food in front of her. She wasn't hungry at all; she felt sick and had lost a lot of sleep.
"So Arrow it's your Birthday celebration you excited?" Zelda questioned putting some pancakes onto her small plate. Arrow looked at the beautifully decorated birthday waffles from the cook. A smiley face made from syrup, a cherry, whipped cream and sprinkles. It looked wonderful but the guilt had fed her appetite.
"Arrow, are you going to answer your mother?" Link said before stuffing a forkful of eggs into his mouth. Arrow looked at her mom and held her stomach.
"Mom can I go to my room? I don't feel good." She moaned for an effect. Link lifted his gaze to the squirming Arrow.
"You haven't eaten anything, maybe your stomach hurts from not eating." Link trailed off, eating his eggs and bacon.
"More like my stomach hurts from not telling the truth." Arrow mumbled annoyed and sat looking at the soggy waffle on her plate.
"What's that dear?" Arrow looked up frantically at Zelda and smiled. "Nothing mom, just talking to myself." Zelda nodded and started talking with Link quiet. Arrow poked the syrupy waffle with her fork and dragged it around the plate, leaving a sickeningly sweet trail. She flopped it over and poked it and let her fork crash down on the plate. She slumped against the chair arms across her chest now moody from the lack of sleep.
"Mom can I leave?" Zelda looked at Arrow and gave her a stern look. Arrow slumped lower in her seat her face barely visible above the table.
"Arrow your manners please." Arrow rolled her eyes and Link looked at his food as though it was more interesting than anything and moved the remaining eggs around with his own fork. Arrow sighed and sat up.
"Can I PLEASE leave?" Her voice was harsh and sardonic. Zelda looked at the ever busy and preoccupied Link. Link lifted his gaze and hastily shoved a forkful of eggs in his mouth and smiled guiltily.
"Thanks." she growled and looked at Arrow as she slipped out from her chair. She dashed up the stairs faster than she would have planned. Zelda looked at Link who was trying to swallow a mouthful of scrambled eggs. She smacked his hand and stood up and walked up the stairs trying to follow Arrow.
Arrow rushed into her room, slammed the door and buried herself fearfully in the mound of tangled blankets on her bed.
"Great, now I am so dead." She buried her head in her pillow, her dirty blonde hair lying over her small body. A knock on the door rang through the room.
"Who is it?" She growled stupidly and clung to her stuffed animals. There was no reply. "WELL?" She yelled louder incase they didn't hear her. Again there was no reply. Arrow sat up and looked at the door the handle jiggling furiously. The handle was growing red with heat; Arrow rubbed her eyes hastily and looked at it again. The handle wasn't moving and it was its normal color.
"I am going crazy." She moaned. "Arrow its your mother please open this door." Arrow jumped up unlocked the door and flopped back on her bed. Zelda walked in and sat on her daughter's bed.
"Arrow what's wrong I can tell something is on your mind.?" Arrow looked at her mother tears now welling in her eyes.
" Does Dad hate me?" Zelda's eyes widened with surprise. "No! Why would you even think that?!" Arrow looked at her lap and sighed heavily. "I lied to him.." Zelda gave a look of "ooh..". She grimaced and looked at the guilty Arrow.
"You should tell him you know.." Arrow lifted her head. "I know, he doesn't believe me.about not lying but I don't want to seem weak, screaming for my mom and dad. I just feel shamed for acting like such a baby." Zelda embraced Arrow in her arms and Link leaned against the door outside.
"I want him to be a warrior again. He seems to want to hide it from me, can you tell me some stories?" Zelda nodded and stood up.
"Get ready for your birthday celebration." Arrow nodded happily glad for getting that off her chest and Zelda walked out bumping into Link.
"Link why are you here? You were listening? Shame on you." Link smiled and kissed Zelda romantically and they descended down the stairs.

Arrow moved around her room and picked out a gown and held it in her arms. She placed it on her bed and instead held the bow and arrows in her hand, readied position. She caught her reflection in the mirror she looked like a young female version of her dad, in a green tunic with a bow and arrow, but she wasn't the only one in the reflection.
