Ch.9 Recovery

The two horses ran through Hyrule field as fast as they could. The entire time Alex made sure to hold the unconscious Lance as close as she could to her, to make sure he wouldn't fall. At the moment Alex was worried, scared, and angry all at once. She may not had gotten along with Lance, and they may have argued a lot. But still, she didn't want anything like this to happen to him. She was so worried that they might not be able to help him in time, and so she was also scared that he might…die. However at the same time she was angry. She was angry with her self, knowing that the last thing that happened between them before this happened was an argument. And she was also angry at Lance. She hated the fact that if he had just waited alittle longer and they all had gone in the temple together, then none of this might have happened.

The two horses continued for about 4 more minutes before they finally came upon Lon Lon Ranch. They road right through the entrance and up to the house. Talon, Malons father, was outside of the house at the moment. When he sall his daughter and the others ride up he immediately noticed the injured Lance and opened the door to the house before going over to help the girls get him inside. Once inside Talon took Lance upstairs into an empty room while Alex help Malon gather rages, bandages and almost anything they could find.

Alex knowing absolutely nothing about injures was forced to stay down stairs with Navi so they wouldn't be in the way. So Alex sat down in a chair and very impatiently waited. She felt so useless just sitting there while her friend was upstairs in pain. Navi on the other hand sat on the table next to a small loaf of bread and started eating.

Alex- ……………..

Navi-…..Alex?

Alex- …………….

Navi- Alex!?

Alex- …………

Navi- ALEX!?!?!?!?!?

Alex- ….huh? What is it Navi?

Navi- Whats wrong with you!? I had to yell just to get your attention.

Alex- …..sorry. I guess I'm just really worried.

Navi- Worried? About who, Lance?

Alex- Who else!? Do you know any other injured people.

Navi- ………..I'm gonna eat my bread now.

Alex- You do that.

Navi- Want some?

Alex- no…….

Navi- Whatever.

About 30 minutes later Malon and Talon came back down stairs carrying extra rags and bandages. When they got to where Alex and Navi were waiting they just stood there. After a few seconds Alex look like she was going to attack if one of them didn't say something. However right before she was about to get up, Malon looked up and suddenly let huge smile cross her face. Alittle shocked, Alex sat back down and Malon gave them the news.

Alex- Well?

Navi- Is he ok?

Malon- After alittle rest, he should be just fine.

Alex just sat back in her chair and sighed happily. Navi on the other hand, dropped the piece of bread she was eating and shot up flying circles around the room to show how happy she was.

Alex- So hes really going to be ok?

Talon- Yup. His shoulder will probably be alittle sore for awhile but besides that he'll be just fine.

Alex- That's good.

Malon- You two can go see him if you want. But you'll have to be quite. He's sleeping right now and in his current condition he could use all the rest he could get.

Alex- Maybe we should just wait then.

Malon- Alright. Well in that case, I'm gonna go get some dinner going.

Alex- need help?

Malon- No that's ok. You just stay there and get yourself some rest.

Alex- Oh………ok then.

Malon left to go into the kitchen to start dinner. Talon on the other hand went outside to put Epona and Rose back with the other horses. Ofcourse he first had to go back to Lake Hylia after Malon told him she had left the other horses back there. Navi let out a small yawn before flying over to a couch in the corner of the room. She then layed down on a small pillow and fell into a deep sleep. So now Alex was left alone, and very bored. After a few minutes Alex was about as bored as you could be. So she decided to just say the heck with it and went up stairs to check on Lance.

When she opened the door and looked in, Lance was laying in a bed against the wall. His shoulder had a cloth bandage wrapped around it tightly, he also had a few other bandages on his other arm and the side of his face. However there was one thing that made Alex look away for a moment and slightly blush. It seems that in order for Malon and her father to bandage up his shoulder, they had to remove his shirt which at the moment was layed next to his sword on top of a table in the room.(A/N- Just to clarify, he was only missing his shirt, still had everything else on. Just needed to make sure all sick people understood that. Damn, luckly Alex. ^_^)

After a few more seconds Alex pulled a chair over next to the bed and sat down. She figured it probably wasn't a good idea to leave and injured person by their self in case something happened. So she just sat there and waited for Malon to finish with dinner. After about 20 more minutes Alex started to get tired and still sitting in the chair, slowly fell asleep.

It was only about 10 minutes that Alex was asleep before she woke back up. However when she woke up she noticed that she wasn't the only one that had woken up. Lance had his head turned away but she could still tell he was awake.

Alex- …um…..Lance…?

Lance- What?

Alex- uh……are you ok?

Lance- Just do it already.

Alex- …huh? Do what?

Lance- Yell. You cant tell me your not mad that I ditched you and Navi.

Alex- ……well yea, I am mad. But I'm not going to yell at someone who almost died.

Lance turned his head over alittle to look up at Alex. When he did he just froze from shock. She was crying. Not a lot, but tears started to form in Alex's eyes. Seeing this Lance couldn't help but feel guilty that she might have been crying about what he said. He then slowly sat up to see if she was ok, but before he could check she did something that shocked both of them.

Alex whipped away her tears then practically leapt off the chair and wrapped her arms around his chest, while more tears dropped from her eyes onto his nonbandaged shoulder. It was clear Alex wasn't exactly thinking when she did this. She was just so happy that he was still alive that she let her emotions take control.

After a few seconds she finally realized what she was doing and let go. When she did, she tried to back away but instead tripped on the chair behind her and fell on the floor. When her very red face finally looked up she sall Lance looking down at her both Shocked and Confused. The room was silent for a few minutes. Neither of them said a word, really neither of them knew what to say. The silence was finally broken when Malon opened the door.

Malon- Alex there you are. Oh Lance your awake.

Lance- …………..

Alex- uh, h-hi…..Malon.

Malon- you two ok?

Alex- Um, yea. Nothings wrong.

Malon- Ok, well I just came to tell you that dinner was ready, so you can head down and eat if your hungry.

Alex- Um, thanks.

Malon- And Lance you can just stay there. I'll bring you up a plate in a few minutes.

Lance- …..ok.

With that said, Alex slowly got up and walked out the door. Malon, still confused about what was going on, also walked out the door following Alex. And Lance, still shocked and confused, just layed back down and tried to figure out what the heck just happened.

That be it for now everyone. Hope everyone liked it. Remember this is probably my first ever attempt at any kind of romancey thing, so go easy on me in the reviews, which I hope you all review. Anyways like always, you want more you have to review. Even a one word review that just says "good" or ever "bad" would be good enough. So please review and tell me what you think. Later.^_^
