Part 17-Return Home
Blackness. That's all I saw for the first minute until I opened my eyes slightly. White light surrounded me for awhile and my thoughts were fuzzy. I couldn't hear anything and barely see. I was just waking up. You know that split second before you are fully awake and your body feels heavy and your dream has just ended and all that is left is a fog of thoughts? That's what I was feeling now.
White light was everywhere and I was.. standing up?
'Wait a second.'
I got my vision back and finally saw what I was looking at. I was in a vast place that seemed to never end. I could hear water falling off the edge of the platform I was standing on, but I couldn't hear it hit the ground, nor could I see a place for the water to be coming from. I was standing on in the middle of many platforms. Seven in all. I was looking at a green one in front of me. That didn't shock me as much as the person standing on it. It was Saria!
"What.. where are we?" I questioned.
"We are in the sacred Realm. I have finally figured out why the Temple was so important to us. I am the Sage of the Forest. I now know everything that has happened. And, I want you to have this." Saria held out a small, round stone that was just bigger then her palm. I reached out for it, when it turned into a green ball of light. I gasped. It came at me and went into my chest. I felt a sudden growth of power in my muscles.
"..what.. just happened?"
"I gave you the power of the Forest. I see you have collected one already. The sage of the light Temple. Raru told me how you two met and everything so you don't have to explain. I know you are going to ask me how we got here. Well, the Temple sucked our spirits into this place when you fainted. I guess when the evil left and you relaxed, that's when you were able to come here. As for the rest of them, time has stopped. You will go back to your body and still be asleep. Only you and I will know about this. Ok?"
I nodded. It seemed like the only thing I could do. I was a spirit right now? This was way pasted weird now. Saria smiled and blackness came over me again.
I blinked a couple of times until I could see again. I could hear again too. I sat up from where I was laying. It was a Kokiri house. It had only a small bed in which I was laying in and a table. There was a bowl of plants and herbs in the bowl along with leaf, wrapping. Apparently that's what Kokiri used for their wounds. There wasn't a door but a blanket, sorta speak in front of the doorway. The curtain opened and Saria walked in.
"Oh Link you're awake!" She walked over to me. Her fairy Katly with her. Navi wasn't too far behind.
"Link! Are you alright?" Navi asked as she floated over me.
"I'm find Navi. How are the others?"
"They're fine. Matt has a cut on his arm, Sheik had a hole in his shirt and Nabby has a a cut on her elbow." Navi said.
"That's good. So, how did I get back?"
"I can answer that." Katly said with a smile. Saria quickly gave her a bit of a glare and the Fairy gulped. "Maybe Saira should answer this on."
I thanked Saria over and over again in my head. The last thing I need is a squeaky voice and a long story.
"Well, Sheik carried you back. Matt carried most of your weapons and I helped seal your wounds until you could get them treated."
I nodded. It seemed like whenever I got in trouble lately Sheik was the one to get me out of it. I wonder why though?
(An:In case you're wondering, no Sheik isn't Zelda. You will see Zelda shortly though)
Just then, Sheik walked in. So did Nabby and Matt who were arguing over something. Some things never change.
"Hey Link. How you feelin'?" Matt asked, stopping his fight with Nabby before she threaten him.
"Good. And you?"
Matt smiled. "Oh I can't complain. So, where are we going next?"
"I guess home for awhile. It's on the way to the next Temple." I got up and put on my boots. I grabbed my hat and put it back on too.
"Don't you want to rest before we leave again?" Matt asked.
"Rest? I've just slept the whole way back here. I don't think I need to rest. Anyways, I want to visit my mom. I'm sure she's going to go nuts when I get back home. I hope she doesn't hug me to death though." I said with a smile as I placed the last thing I needed on then walked over to them.
"Link."
I turned around and faced Saria. She had a tear in her eye.
"..yes?"
"Don't forget me.. ok?"
"I won't. I promise."
I smiled at her and left with them. I hated to leave like this but I really didn't have any choice. Ganondorf was going to come back soon and I was going to be ready for him. And next time, I won't let him walk away with only ONE cut!
We left the Kokiri forest. Every person was out waving at us. I guess Saria explained what happened to the cheif.
Before we went out the tunnel, Mido blocked our path. I looked down at him with a glare.
"Look.. I'm sorry I did that ok?!" He said looking at the ground, then up at me. "I guess I have to say.. thank you for saving the village. Now, I can be cheif again with that guy out of here. So.. Thanks." He ran off to join the rest, not even waiting for my reply.
'I'll never understand him'
I shook my head and smiled back at him. I turned back to the tunnel and took a deep breath. I was going home. It may not seem like a big deal to some people, but it was to me. Such a simple thing as going home becomes very important to a person who's been through what I have.
I walked through the tunel and over the old bridge. This was an exit the Kokiri showed up. It would lead us out of the forest twice as fast as the way we came in. They were right. It only took about 30 minutes to get out of the forest. Before it took over an hour to get in the forest.
I smiled. I could finally see the blue sky above us. The trees were so thick in the forest you couldn't see anything above until you got out. The sun was straight up in the sky which meant it was about 1 o'clock.
"Hey Link."
I turned to Matt.
"Let's get going home, shall we?"
I smiled and nodded. We all ran up to the city that was only half a mile away. It seemed so much further then that though.
When we reached the edge of the city we took a small break, just looking at the city.
"It seems much louder and noisier then it did when we left." I commented.
"That's because you started to get used to it being quiet from being in the forest. Even I noticed how much I hate noise since we got here." Sheik said while walking in front of me. I looked at his back for awhile, then followed. It was almost a day away before we reached my house. I don't know where Sheik lives though.
When we came to an inter-section Sheik and Nabby turned to us.
"We must go the other way. We shall both see you later." Sheik said.
Matt looked at Nabby. "You too?"
Nabby nodded. Matt sighed at looked at me.
"Well, let me give you my phone number." I grabbed a peice of paper blowing by. I tapped someone on the shoulder and asked them for a pen. After giving all of us a strange look, the woman pulled out a pen and gave it to me. I wrote down my phone number twice, then gave the pen back.
I tore the paper in half and gave one half with my phone number to Nabby and one half to Sheik with my phone number on it.
"Call me when you are ready to go." I said, then we parted. Matt and I were left to walk the next two miles by ourselves. Well, we had Navi with us.
"So. What do we do until they call?" Matt asked me.
"Well, go home and get some quality time with our family." I said, putting my arms behind my head. This was possibly the most relaxed I've been in a month! Ever since I had those dreams and found that book, my nerves have been on end. Now I knew I could handle Ganondorf if I had too and everything he could throw at me. Also, this time I have my friends with me. Two great fighters, a fairy and my best friend, Matt. Things couldn't look any better.
"I feel like we are on a talk show now. Quality time with MY family? No. I dout they even noticed I was gone let alone that I'm back." Matt said looking at me.
"I forgot. Your dad still in his 'mid life' mood?"
"I dout he will ever get out of it. Ever since he picked up a beer bottle it's been down hill since then. Atleast I don't get
killed with hugs and kisses!" Matt said showing his dis-taste for that. I laughed.
'For all of Matt's happy jokes I really never noticed how sad he is'
We walked up to my house and I took a deep breath. This was going to take more strength then I had. My mom was probably done reading the book and ready to call me nuts. Then she's going to kill me. That's all there is to it. My mother is going to kill me. Even Ganondorf isn't as scary as a mom who doesn't know where you are for a week.
I reached for the knob and grabbed it. I slowly turned the door knob and opened the door. I stepped inside.
***
Sheik and Nabby said goodbye to each other. Nabby went inside of her own house. Then Sheik took off. He was running for an orphanage. He walked around to the back window.
'I hope she's still here.' Sheik thought as he liefted up the window and crawled inside. He snuck into a bedroom and locked the door behind him. There was a girl sitting on a bed in that room. She had waist long blonde hair that was full of life. She had deep sky blue eyes and soft peach skin. She was wearing a white and pink dress as she stared at Sheik.
"Sheik.." She said quielty as she got up and run into him, giving him a hug. She was crying.
Sheik rubbed her back and hugged her. "It's ok Zelda. I'm here."
"Where have you been big brother?"
"It's a long story."
They both sat down on her bed as he told his story about him joining with Link to fight Ganondorf.
"Wow!" Was all Zelda said as she stayed quiet to listen to his tale.
"Zelda. I'm sorry I haven't been around to protect you. Ever since mom and dad were murdered, I couldn't get my head straight. I thought this best thing for you was for you to stay in a nice place like this. You know. With warm beds, other kids, nice clothes and warm meals. I didn't want you to be left out on the street like me." Sheik said holding her hand.
"I know big brother. I know. That's why I have been growing stronger for you. So you and me can go out on our own adventure. Just like mom and dad used too."
"It's not that simple Zelda. You could get hurt."
"Well, you have Nabby and Saria with you when you went into the forest Temple. Why can't I come with you?"
"Well, you could get really hurt. Link nearly got his hand chopped off and we all almost got killed by Wolfos. Just think. That's just the beginning!"
"I demand you take me Sheik! You promised that you would come back for me and we would go on an adventure! Well, your back and you're going on an adventure. So you HAVE to take me with you!" Zelda nearly yelled.
Sheik looked at her. She had firey eyes and temper that could be more scarier then any demons. He sighed with a smile.
"Ok."
"huh?" Zelda didn't expect him to give in this easy.
"You can come. As long as you try your very best to stay out of trouble."
Zelda gave a big smile as she hugged Sheik.
"Thank you!"
Sheik smiled and hugged her back. It had been hard for both of them. They were so close, then got seperated so fast.
Zelda packed a few things she had, then snuck off with Sheik to his house.
*********
'Dear goddesses. Hey. Could I borrow some good luck for a while? It's not like you girls up there like me or anything, but could you please help me here? It was just a thought.'
"And get yourself injured?! Link Michael Thompson you're going to give me a heart attack one day!" My mom finished off the speech she gave me when i got home. Matt and I sat down on the coutch and just sat there for the past twenty minutes listening to her yell at us at the top of her lungs. I finally looked up at her from my bowed possition.
"mom?" I asked queitly. She glared down at me.
"Boy. You'd better have something really good to say right now or else." She only called me 'boy' when she was extremely well past pissed off.
I gulped. "I... I... I understand."
"You understand what?" She asked me in a cold voice I didn't know my mom had in her.
"I understand why you are worring about me. I know you think i might be nuts. Trust me, I thought I was nuts for awhile. But really I'm not. You may not have reliezed it mom but I'm not a kid anymore. I can take care of myself. What I understand most is.. you're afriad you're going to lose me." I looked up at her when I said that. She had tears in her eyes right now. Boy, I hated to see my mom cry!
"Mom." I knelt down to her, since she had sat down. "You will NEVER EVER lose me. I'll always be you're boy no matter what. I could be 60, but I will still be YOUR boy. So don't cry and don't get angry at me. I'm doing what my heart tells me to do and that's what you always told me to do. I have to go."
"No.. no. Not.. not yet.."
"Not right now. But tomorrow I will. And mom?"
She looked at me. Somehow I think I got the message across. It seems like the only way I can talk to my mom is through a dramtic voice, like from a chick flick.
"Can Matt stay over?"
************************
(AN:Hey! I know some of you want to know what's happin' with Nabby. I'm not really ready to reveal her family yet. Infact, I haven't even thought up her family yet. I hope you all aren't mad at me.)
Sheik and Zelda went to the apartment Sheik livid in, but since he didn't pay his rent, they kicked him out. Sheik and Zelda only had what was in their pockets which was a stick of gum and 35 cents. They walked to a pay phone where Sheik made a phone call.
*********************
The phone rang at my house. My mom picked up the phone.
"Hello?"
"No. This is his mother." a pause. "Yes he is home." another pause. "Tell him to meet you at 9th street and 38 ave.? Well, who is this?" yet another pause. "Sheik. And your last name?" Another pause. "Royal. Ok Sheik Royal. I'll tell him. Goodbye."
Before my mom could open her mouth the to tell us we were out the door to meet Sheik.
"His last name is Royal?" Matt asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Well, he is suppose to be with the Royal family. I guess it really fits."
"Do you think he has any family?"
"How should I know? The guy hardly talks to any of us. And if he does, it's about fighting, or a plan to fight. They guy can only think about fighting. I wonder if he ever smiles?!"
Matt laughed. Navi flew out from under my hat and sat on my shoulder.
"Navi! You're suppose to stay out of sight!" I hissed at the fiary.
"Yeah well, you try to stay under someone's hat all day in the hot sun and see if you like it."
"You know. She's got a point." Matt said.
"Oh be queit you two." I said with a smile.
I looked up. We were at 9th and 38 ave. Sheik was there and so was.. a girl?!
Matt ran up to them. "Hi Sheik. And who is the beautiful girl with you?"
Sheik growled at him. "She's my sister."
Matt held up his hands in peace. "Hey! I wasn't hittin' on your sister! Don't worry."
I stared at her. SHe.. looked... familar....
Zelda looked up at me. She stared back too. Are eyes were locked in place. I don't either of us blinked! Matt waved his hand infront of my face, but I really didn't notice too much.
"Ummm... I think you gotta worry about Link and not me." Matt said. Then he grinned. "They got it bad!"
Sheik growled and went in front of Zelda, blocking both our veiws from each other. I blinked and looked up at Sheik. He looked utterly pissed at me.
"Don't look at my little sister like that EVER again!" Sheik said with a hiss.
".... Zelda....." I said quietly and only Matt could hear.
"Zelda? Who's Zelda?" Matt questioned outloud. Sheik looked at Matt then me.
"How did you know my sister's name?"
"I.. I...." I couldn't talk. I was in shock. Here was Zelda! Right in front of me! The Princess I was re-born in order to save her and the world. The Princess I fell in love with in my first life. The Princess that cared so such about me, she protected me from my own memories. The one who gave me the Ocarina of time. There she is.
'And she's SHEIK'S LITTLE SISTER!? What Kind of cruel joke are the three goddesses playing on me! They hate me!' My mind screamed at me. The Three Goddesses could NEVER make my life simple for once could they?! Noooo!!!! That would be too hard for them to do. I only saved the world for them! Why couldn't they make her Matt's sister.. or Nabby's sister.. wait. Scratch that. Nabby would kill me. But come on!
"Link?" She said timdly behind Sheik.
My heart almost skipped a beat. She remembered my name?! 'Maybe you girls do like me up there!'
"Link? Sheik's told me all about your's and his adventure. You're not as stupid as he says you are."
'Scartch that one too. You girls DO hate me'
****************************************************

Part 17-Return Home
Blackness. That's all I saw for the first minute until I opened my eyes slightly. White light surrounded me for awhile and my thoughts were fuzzy. I couldn't hear anything and barely see. I was just waking up. You know that split second before you are fully awake and your body feels heavy and your dream has just ended and all that is left is a fog of thoughts? That's what I was feeling now.
White light was everywhere and I was.. standing up?
'Wait a second.'
I got my vision back and finally saw what I was looking at. I was in a vast place that seemed to never end. I could hear water falling off the edge of the platform I was standing on, but I couldn't hear it hit the ground, nor could I see a place for the water to be coming from. I was standing on in the middle of many platforms. Seven in all. I was looking at a green one in front of me. That didn't shock me as much as the person standing on it. It was Saria!
"What.. where are we?" I questioned.
"We are in the sacred Realm. I have finally figured out why the Temple was so important to us. I am the Sage of the Forest. I now know everything that has happened. And, I want you to have this." Saria held out a small, round stone that was just bigger then her palm. I reached out for it, when it turned into a green ball of light. I gasped. It came at me and went into my chest. I felt a sudden growth of power in my muscles.
"..what.. just happened?"
"I gave you the power of the Forest. I see you have collected one already. The sage of the light Temple. Raru told me how you two met and everything so you don't have to explain. I know you are going to ask me how we got here. Well, the Temple sucked our spirits into this place when you fainted. I guess when the evil left and you relaxed, that's when you were able to come here. As for the rest of them, time has stopped. You will go back to your body and still be asleep. Only you and I will know about this. Ok?"
I nodded. It seemed like the only thing I could do. I was a spirit right now? This was way pasted weird now. Saria smiled and blackness came over me again.
I blinked a couple of times until I could see again. I could hear again too. I sat up from where I was laying. It was a Kokiri house. It had only a small bed in which I was laying in and a table. There was a bowl of plants and herbs in the bowl along with leaf, wrapping. Apparently that's what Kokiri used for their wounds. There wasn't a door but a blanket, sorta speak in front of the doorway. The curtain opened and Saria walked in.
"Oh Link you're awake!" She walked over to me. Her fairy Katly with her. Navi wasn't too far behind.
"Link! Are you alright?" Navi asked as she floated over me.
"I'm find Navi. How are the others?"
"They're fine. Matt has a cut on his arm, Sheik had a hole in his shirt and Nabby has a a cut on her elbow." Navi said.
"That's good. So, how did I get back?"
"I can answer that." Katly said with a smile. Saria quickly gave her a bit of a glare and the Fairy gulped. "Maybe Saira should answer this on."
I thanked Saria over and over again in my head. The last thing I need is a squeaky voice and a long story.
"Well, Sheik carried you back. Matt carried most of your weapons and I helped seal your wounds until you could get them treated."
I nodded. It seemed like whenever I got in trouble lately Sheik was the one to get me out of it. I wonder why though?
(An:In case you're wondering, no Sheik isn't Zelda. You will see Zelda shortly though)
Just then, Sheik walked in. So did Nabby and Matt who were arguing over something. Some things never change.
"Hey Link. How you feelin'?" Matt asked, stopping his fight with Nabby before she threaten him.
"Good. And you?"
Matt smiled. "Oh I can't complain. So, where are we going next?"
"I guess home for awhile. It's on the way to the next Temple." I got up and put on my boots. I grabbed my hat and put it back on too.
"Don't you want to rest before we leave again?" Matt asked.
"Rest? I've just slept the whole way back here. I don't think I need to rest. Anyways, I want to visit my mom. I'm sure she's going to go nuts when I get back home. I hope she doesn't hug me to death though." I said with a smile as I placed the last thing I needed on then walked over to them.
"Link."
I turned around and faced Saria. She had a tear in her eye.
"..yes?"
"Don't forget me.. ok?"
"I won't. I promise."
I smiled at her and left with them. I hated to leave like this but I really didn't have any choice. Ganondorf was going to come back soon and I was going to be ready for him. And next time, I won't let him walk away with only ONE cut!
We left the Kokiri forest. Every person was out waving at us. I guess Saria explained what happened to the cheif.
Before we went out the tunnel, Mido blocked our path. I looked down at him with a glare.
"Look.. I'm sorry I did that ok?!" He said looking at the ground, then up at me. "I guess I have to say.. thank you for saving the village. Now, I can be cheif again with that guy out of here. So.. Thanks." He ran off to join the rest, not even waiting for my reply.
'I'll never understand him'
I shook my head and smiled back at him. I turned back to the tunnel and took a deep breath. I was going home. It may not seem like a big deal to some people, but it was to me. Such a simple thing as going home becomes very important to a person who's been through what I have.
I walked through the tunel and over the old bridge. This was an exit the Kokiri showed up. It would lead us out of the forest twice as fast as the way we came in. They were right. It only took about 30 minutes to get out of the forest. Before it took over an hour to get in the forest.
I smiled. I could finally see the blue sky above us. The trees were so thick in the forest you couldn't see anything above until you got out. The sun was straight up in the sky which meant it was about 1 o'clock.
"Hey Link."
I turned to Matt.
"Let's get going home, shall we?"
I smiled and nodded. We all ran up to the city that was only half a mile away. It seemed so much further then that though.
When we reached the edge of the city we took a small break, just looking at the city.
"It seems much louder and noisier then it did when we left." I commented.
"That's because you started to get used to it being quiet from being in the forest. Even I noticed how much I hate noise since we got here." Sheik said while walking in front of me. I looked at his back for awhile, then followed. It was almost a day away before we reached my house. I don't know where Sheik lives though.
When we came to an inter-section Sheik and Nabby turned to us.
"We must go the other way. We shall both see you later." Sheik said.
Matt looked at Nabby. "You too?"
Nabby nodded. Matt sighed at looked at me.
"Well, let me give you my phone number." I grabbed a peice of paper blowing by. I tapped someone on the shoulder and asked them for a pen. After giving all of us a strange look, the woman pulled out a pen and gave it to me. I wrote down my phone number twice, then gave the pen back.
I tore the paper in half and gave one half with my phone number to Nabby and one half to Sheik with my phone number on it.
"Call me when you are ready to go." I said, then we parted. Matt and I were left to walk the next two miles by ourselves. Well, we had Navi with us.
"So. What do we do until they call?" Matt asked me.
"Well, go home and get some quality time with our family." I said, putting my arms behind my head. This was possibly the most relaxed I've been in a month! Ever since I had those dreams and found that book, my nerves have been on end. Now I knew I could handle Ganondorf if I had too and everything he could throw at me. Also, this time I have my friends with me. Two great fighters, a fairy and my best friend, Matt. Things couldn't look any better.
"I feel like we are on a talk show now. Quality time with MY family? No. I dout they even noticed I was gone let alone that I'm back." Matt said looking at me.
"I forgot. Your dad still in his 'mid life' mood?"
"I dout he will ever get out of it. Ever since he picked up a beer bottle it's been down hill since then. Atleast I don't get
killed with hugs and kisses!" Matt said showing his dis-taste for that. I laughed.
'For all of Matt's happy jokes I really never noticed how sad he is'
We walked up to my house and I took a deep breath. This was going to take more strength then I had. My mom was probably done reading the book and ready to call me nuts. Then she's going to kill me. That's all there is to it. My mother is going to kill me. Even Ganondorf isn't as scary as a mom who doesn't know where you are for a week.
I reached for the knob and grabbed it. I slowly turned the door knob and opened the door. I stepped inside.
***
Sheik and Nabby said goodbye to each other. Nabby went inside of her own house. Then Sheik took off. He was running for an orphanage. He walked around to the back window.
'I hope she's still here.' Sheik thought as he liefted up the window and crawled inside. He snuck into a bedroom and locked the door behind him. There was a girl sitting on a bed in that room. She had waist long blonde hair that was full of life. She had deep sky blue eyes and soft peach skin. She was wearing a white and pink dress as she stared at Sheik.
"Sheik.." She said quielty as she got up and run into him, giving him a hug. She was crying.
Sheik rubbed her back and hugged her. "It's ok Zelda. I'm here."
"Where have you been big brother?"
"It's a long story."
They both sat down on her bed as he told his story about him joining with Link to fight Ganondorf.
"Wow!" Was all Zelda said as she stayed quiet to listen to his tale.
"Zelda. I'm sorry I haven't been around to protect you. Ever since mom and dad were murdered, I couldn't get my head straight. I thought this best thing for you was for you to stay in a nice place like this. You know. With warm beds, other kids, nice clothes and warm meals. I didn't want you to be left out on the street like me." Sheik said holding her hand.
"I know big brother. I know. That's why I have been growing stronger for you. So you and me can go out on our own adventure. Just like mom and dad used too."
"It's not that simple Zelda. You could get hurt."
"Well, you have Nabby and Saria with you when you went into the forest Temple. Why can't I come with you?"
"Well, you could get really hurt. Link nearly got his hand chopped off and we all almost got killed by Wolfos. Just think. That's just the beginning!"
"I demand you take me Sheik! You promised that you would come back for me and we would go on an adventure! Well, your back and you're going on an adventure. So you HAVE to take me with you!" Zelda nearly yelled.
Sheik looked at her. She had firey eyes and temper that could be more scarier then any demons. He sighed with a smile.
"Ok."
"huh?" Zelda didn't expect him to give in this easy.
"You can come. As long as you try your very best to stay out of trouble."
Zelda gave a big smile as she hugged Sheik.
"Thank you!"
Sheik smiled and hugged her back. It had been hard for both of them. They were so close, then got seperated so fast.
Zelda packed a few things she had, then snuck off with Sheik to his house.
*********
'Dear goddesses. Hey. Could I borrow some good luck for a while? It's not like you girls up there like me or anything, but could you please help me here? It was just a thought.'
"And get yourself injured?! Link Michael Thompson you're going to give me a heart attack one day!" My mom finished off the speech she gave me when i got home. Matt and I sat down on the coutch and just sat there for the past twenty minutes listening to her yell at us at the top of her lungs. I finally looked up at her from my bowed possition.
"mom?" I asked queitly. She glared down at me.
"Boy. You'd better have something really good to say right now or else." She only called me 'boy' when she was extremely well past pissed off.
I gulped. "I... I... I understand."
"You understand what?" She asked me in a cold voice I didn't know my mom had in her.
"I understand why you are worring about me. I know you think i might be nuts. Trust me, I thought I was nuts for awhile. But really I'm not. You may not have reliezed it mom but I'm not a kid anymore. I can take care of myself. What I understand most is.. you're afriad you're going to lose me." I looked up at her when I said that. She had tears in her eyes right now. Boy, I hated to see my mom cry!
"Mom." I knelt down to her, since she had sat down. "You will NEVER EVER lose me. I'll always be you're boy no matter what. I could be 60, but I will still be YOUR boy. So don't cry and don't get angry at me. I'm doing what my heart tells me to do and that's what you always told me to do. I have to go."
"No.. no. Not.. not yet.."
"Not right now. But tomorrow I will. And mom?"
She looked at me. Somehow I think I got the message across. It seems like the only way I can talk to my mom is through a dramtic voice, like from a chick flick.
"Can Matt stay over?"
************************
(AN:Hey! I know some of you want to know what's happin' with Nabby. I'm not really ready to reveal her family yet. Infact, I haven't even thought up her family yet. I hope you all aren't mad at me.)
Sheik and Zelda went to the apartment Sheik livid in, but since he didn't pay his rent, they kicked him out. Sheik and Zelda only had what was in their pockets which was a stick of gum and 35 cents. They walked to a pay phone where Sheik made a phone call.
*********************
The phone rang at my house. My mom picked up the phone.
"Hello?"
"No. This is his mother." a pause. "Yes he is home." another pause. "Tell him to meet you at 9th street and 38 ave.? Well, who is this?" yet another pause. "Sheik. And your last name?" Another pause. "Royal. Ok Sheik Royal. I'll tell him. Goodbye."
Before my mom could open her mouth the to tell us we were out the door to meet Sheik.
"His last name is Royal?" Matt asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Well, he is suppose to be with the Royal family. I guess it really fits."
"Do you think he has any family?"
"How should I know? The guy hardly talks to any of us. And if he does, it's about fighting, or a plan to fight. They guy can only think about fighting. I wonder if he ever smiles?!"
Matt laughed. Navi flew out from under my hat and sat on my shoulder.
"Navi! You're suppose to stay out of sight!" I hissed at the fiary.
"Yeah well, you try to stay under someone's hat all day in the hot sun and see if you like it."
"You know. She's got a point." Matt said.
"Oh be queit you two." I said with a smile.
I looked up. We were at 9th and 38 ave. Sheik was there and so was.. a girl?!
Matt ran up to them. "Hi Sheik. And who is the beautiful girl with you?"
Sheik growled at him. "She's my sister."
Matt held up his hands in peace. "Hey! I wasn't hittin' on your sister! Don't worry."
I stared at her. SHe.. looked... familar....
Zelda looked up at me. She stared back too. Are eyes were locked in place. I don't either of us blinked! Matt waved his hand infront of my face, but I really didn't notice too much.
"Ummm... I think you gotta worry about Link and not me." Matt said. Then he grinned. "They got it bad!"
Sheik growled and went in front of Zelda, blocking both our veiws from each other. I blinked and looked up at Sheik. He looked utterly pissed at me.
"Don't look at my little sister like that EVER again!" Sheik said with a hiss.
".... Zelda....." I said quietly and only Matt could hear.
"Zelda? Who's Zelda?" Matt questioned outloud. Sheik looked at Matt then me.
"How did you know my sister's name?"
"I.. I...." I couldn't talk. I was in shock. Here was Zelda! Right in front of me! The Princess I was re-born in order to save her and the world. The Princess I fell in love with in my first life. The Princess that cared so such about me, she protected me from my own memories. The one who gave me the Ocarina of time. There she is.
'And she's SHEIK'S LITTLE SISTER!? What Kind of cruel joke are the three goddesses playing on me! They hate me!' My mind screamed at me. The Three Goddesses could NEVER make my life simple for once could they?! Noooo!!!! That would be too hard for them to do. I only saved the world for them! Why couldn't they make her Matt's sister.. or Nabby's sister.. wait. Scratch that. Nabby would kill me. But come on!
"Link?" She said timdly behind Sheik.
My heart almost skipped a beat. She remembered my name?! 'Maybe you girls do like me up there!'
"Link? Sheik's told me all about your's and his adventure. You're not as stupid as he says you are."
'Scartch that one too. You girls DO hate me'
****************************************************
So. Link has finally met Zelda, Ganondorf is on the loose, Sheik is going to kill someone and Nabby is no where in sight! I wonder what will happen next?! Well, please review then you all will find out! ^_^
