I don't own Zelda. All I own is myself.

Chapter 2: Parting Ways
Zelda's attendant, Impa, came into the room. Link and Zelda quickly pulled away. Impa smiled. "Something I need to know about?" she asked. Zelda blushed and stood up. Link smiled at Impa and took hold of Zelda's hand. Impa came up to Link and sat on the bed next to his.
"Alright, let me see your back." Impa said to Link, and he quickly obeyed. "Take off your shirt." She told him. He quickly did as he was told. Zelda smiled and blushed, wanting to hug him again, admiring his upper body. Impa saw her in the corner of her eye, and shook her head, smiling. "Teenage girls…" she muttered. Link heard this, and laughed. Impa examined his scar and said, "Well, it looks like its pretty much healed. You're gonna have this scar there…" Impa responded, tracing the scar with her finger.
This brought a squeal from Zelda. Link laughed again, turned to look at Zelda, and winked. Impa took Link's leg and examined it also. "How does it feel?" Impa asked him.
"Pretty good." Link sighed truthfully.
"Well, I guess that means my work here is done," she said, getting up and heading for the door. "Oh," she said, turning around. "Don't get into trouble, Zelda." She added, winking at Link. Link looked at her with an indifferent face. She laughed, and left.
"Look, Zelda, I better be going, don't want your family looking after me forever." He said, picking up his shirt from the bed. Zelda sighed disappointedly. Link tried to smile, but didn't want to leave her. He put his hand on her cheek and started to say something to her, when Impa burst back into the room and interrupted.
"Oh, by the way, I like your rose, Zelda." She said, and left. Zelda smiled and blushed.
"Man, I can't stand it!" she said, and jumped into Link's arms. He gladly embraced her and rocked her side to side as they stood like that for a while. Eventually, they pulled away, and Link pulled his shirt back on. "You know, I've never met anyone like you." Zelda told him as he gathered up his stuff.
"What do you mean?" Link replied.
"You're such a great guy… your personality is wonderful, you have totally original opinions, you don't care about being different, you're very modest, really respective…" Zelda explained.
"Zel, come on…" Link smiled and blushed.
"No, I'm serious!" Zelda exclaimed.
"Shh…Zelda," Link said, climbing onto the windowsill. "Look at me." He said, tilting her face to look into his. "You mean so much to me…" he started, "Zelda, if you held eleven roses and looked into a mirror, you would see the twelve most beautiful things in the world." He replied.
Zelda gaped at him, and Link took advantage of this hesitation and kissed her. They closed their eyes and let the passion run through them. Finally, Link opened his eyes and drew back. He smiled quickly at her, and started climbing down the ivy on the wall. Zelda smiled and melted in joy to the floor. She laid there for a while, thinking about Link. She took the rose from her ear and looked at it for a while. Se eventually fell asleep right there on the ground.
Link hopped off the ivy and smiled at himself. He sighed and plopped himself against the stone wall. "Zelda…" he said, daydreaming about her. Soon, it turned to dusk, and Link got up and climbed over the Hyrule Castle wall. He jumped down on the other side. He stared into the sunset sky, and took out his ocarina. He played Epona's Song and waited for his beautiful mare. Finally, his chocolate brown horse galloped up to him, and he stroked Epona's nose.
"Let's go." He said quietly, and jumped on her back. They went out into Hyrule Field, and Link stopped Epona when they were on a high hill, far out towards Kokiri Forest. He hopped off her and reclined at the top. He stared into the sky as it started to light up with stars. This made him remember the first time he had really spent a long amount of time with Zelda. He laid there for hours, reminiscing about that night, when they went stargazing together.
Finally, he shook himself out of the sleepy trance, woke up Epona, and decided to ride for a safer place in the field to sleep for the night. He began to pass by Hyrule Castle, when Epona stopped suddenly and whinnied nervously. "Whats wrong, girl?" Link asked, a bit nervous. He tried urging her forward, but she tossed her head in defiance, and stomped her front hooves. Link suddenly heard a moan in the darkness and he thought his heart skipped a beat. He jumped off Epona, who shied away immediately.
"Who… is that?" Link said aloud. He strained his eyes in the dark, and was finally able to make out a figure about ten yards away. He dashed towards it, and noticed that "it" was slumped on the ground, clutching its side. Link knelt on the ground and caught the person right before it collapsed on the ground. He knew immediately that it was a woman when she fell on him by her lightweight and fragile body. Link lifted her up and summoned Epona, who noticed that Link wasn't afraid. "You are a hylian?" Link asked the woman.
"Y-yes..." she choked. "From… the castle…"
Link pulled out a blanket from Epona's packs and wrapped it around her. "Okay, this is getting creepy…" Link thought. "Keep this on your wound," he said, handing her a rag. "Try to stop the bleeding." He explained.
The girl ignored him. "The castle… Hyrule… was attacked…" she persisted to explain to him. Link stopped what he was doing.
"What did you say?" he asked.
"Go to the castle… kill him… Link…" she coughed.
Link stood gaping at her, unable to register what she was saying, millions of questions popping into his head.
"Gerudo Valley has been taken… he… he is back, Link…" she whispered.
Link stood over her, waiting for her to speak again.
"Hyrule… save Hyrule…" she gasped.
Suddenly, her hand felt cold. Link sat there in silence, and then whispered, "She's dead." He slowly stood up and put his hands over his face. "What was she talking about…?" he said, his mind being extremely confused. He slowly mounted Epona, and dashed her off toward Hyrule Castle.
End of Chapter 2!
