Betrayal Chapter 1
//--By Evil Dude--\\ Ok I know this fic has many "problems". First of all, how old Link, Zelda and Saria are completely stuffed. I know that Saria doesn't age and all but..this is a fic for a reason. //--By Evil Dude--\\
She couldn't bear to look at his eyes, it was just too painful. They had been perfect for each other. Or so she had thought. Until he told her that he loved Saria... She knew it was hard for him to tell her. But he had to tell her, he didn't want to hurt her even more afterwards. She knew he still loved him. But he was lost now. Lost from her reach, lost forever.
Link suddenly looked up at her. She saw his eyes, tears slowly trickling down his face. She didn't want to see Link crying. But she couldn't turn away. "I'm sorry Zelda," was all he managed to say. She didn't want to hear him. Sorry wasn't enough. Nothing would even heal this. She just wanted to run, run away from it all. It was like a nightmare. She couldn't believe what was happening. But it all started to make sense. All the nights that he didn't come home and said that he spent them at Lake Hylia, all the times when she told him she loved him and he just acted like he didn't hear her.
"Link, please leave", Zelda managed to say, but her voice was shaky, Link walked up to her, "Please Zelda, don't do this to yourself. You'll find someone else. I promise!" She looked at him again. He wasn't crying anymore. But the way he said it was enough. It enraged her that he thought she would find someone else! "GET OUT LINK!" she yelled. As soon as she said it, she realized it was a mistake. Now he'd be gone forever. Link left without saying anything. He knew something like this would happen. Maybe Saria was right. maybe he shouldn't have told Zelda. But he knew that would be wrong. She would find out sooner or later and it would have been worse. He kept telling himself that to stop himself from feeling worse about it than he already did. It didn't work..
Everyone at the castle town was so happy, celebrating and having fun. And Link passed through the middle looking sad and glum. No-one knew why. Nobody wanted to know why. He told Saria that he'd tell Zelda and then probably come home the next day. He was a day early. He decided to spend some time with Impa at Kakariko Village before leaving for the Lost Woods. As soon as he went in, he remembered meeting Shiek. He remembered the song. He played the Nocture of Shadow. Night time in Kakariko was a lot quieter than night time in the castle town. He finished the song, and was about to put the ocarina away when he saw Impa.
Link talked to Impa. But she didn't know that Zelda loved Link. She thought he was just being nice telling her. He told Impa that he was going to stay with Saria now. At first she looked surprised, but then she acted like she understood. But Link knew she didn't understand, no one would ever understand. That sensation was back. The feeling of loneliness that he always felt when was little and he was the only one without a fairy. He hated it. Impa told Link to stay back for the night. But he didn't want to stay. He told Impa that he had lots of things to do, and he left.
As Link climbed down the stairs, he saw Epona. She was always there for him. He climbed on and headed down towards the Forest. But he didn't want to go back already. He could see the entrance into the forest already. Saria would soon be asleep, waiting for him to come back the next day.
He entered the Lost Woods. He loved the music here. Saria usually played, but whenever she stopped, one of the skull kids would play for sure. It was such a.happy song. He stayed on the bridge for a while, but then he started to get sleepy so he decided to go on.
Link walked into the forest, and saw all the Kokiri having their fun. He remembered a while ago he was part of them. Now he was different. He was always different though. He never had a fair when he was young, and the only true friend he had was Saria. She was so nice to him. He remembered how jealous Mido was of him and Saria. Mido could see Link and Saria together although it didn't happen for a while. Link climbed up to the entrance for the Lost Woods. He couldn't wait to get back. He missed Saria already.
He was almost at Saria's usual spot, and as he was about to turn left into another tunnel, he noticed Mido wasn't there. Mido was always there! He wondered what had happened. It was getting kind of dark, maybe he went home. He passed through a few more tunnels. He was almost there. He went through the mazes, and was at the stairs to Saria's spot.
He climbed up the stairs and saw Saria. With Mido. Kissing. Link didn't believe what he saw. It wasn't real. It can't have been. He was still standing there, and Saria didn't even notice Link. He had given up his perfect life with Zelda for.her.
