^.^ Chapter 3 ^.^ - Questions

It was dark and Zelda could hear ferocious growls from the forest. She knew Wolfos lurked the forest at night. She didn't want anything to happen to Link, but afterall, he did carry a sword and shield with him. The sound of the door opening signalled Link's return. Zelda was glad to have company again.

"Sorry I'm late," Link said, fighting back an urge to bow to Zelda.

"Don't be, I'm just glad you came. I've been sitting in the same place for the whole day and I'm bored," Zelda replied, smiling.

Link sat down near Zelda, "How is your leg? Does it still hurt?"

Zelda pushed down on her leg lightly and winced, "Yes, but only if it touches something."

Link looked at Zelda, "Are you still hungry? Because I am and I still have lots of food left over."

"Thanks," Zelda smiled at Link as he handed her some food.

Link watched Zelda carefully as she ate. She was good at hiding the fact she was a princess. She didn't seem to complain that there were no spoons or forks and she didn't mind spilling food on her dress.

"You're from Hyrule, right?" Link asked after he finished eating.

Zelda nodded while continuing to eat.

"Who's Saria?" Link asked.

Zelda choked, "Saria?"

Link nodded, "Who is she?"

Zelda thought for a while, revealing her knowledge of the people in Hyrule could hint to Link who she really was…

"Who is she?" Link repeated eagerly.

Zelda sighed, after all, Link did save her life, "She's a Kokiri. Lives in Kokiri Forest"

Link nodded, that didn't help. He still didn't know how Saria knew his name. Another thing was also troubling him. He had to be sure that Zelda was the princess, "Have you ever met Princess Zelda?"

Zelda almost choked again, "No. I'm just a peasant, the princess wouldn't visit my village."

"Why not though?" Link asked, "Why wouldn't the princess want to visit her loyal subjects? Is she not grateful that she has such loyal followers?"

To Link's disappointment, Zelda didn't react the way he had hoped. She simply shrugged, "Don't know. Too busy maybe."

Link didn't ask any more questions. He didn't want to annoy Zelda. Perhaps she wasn't a princess after all…

"There's something wrong," Zelda observed.

"What?" Link looked up.

Zelda repeated her statement, "There's something wrong."

Link frowned, "What do you mean 'there's something wrong'?"

Zelda frowned too, "You're acting strange around me."

"What do you mean I am acting strange? You're the one acting strange!" Link replied angrily.

"I am not acting strange!" Zelda shouted.

"Yes you are! Don't deny it!" Link shouted back.

Wincing slightly, Zelda stood, propping herself up with a nearby chair, "I am NOT acting strange Link. You don't even know me!"

Link stood too, ignoring Zelda's wince, "Well I'm not the one that's lying about who I really am now, am I?"

Link's words scared Zelda and it was clearly evident in her deep blue eyes, "What… what do you mean?"

"I know who you really are Zelda! There's no need to lie anymore!" Link yelled.

"You… do?" Zelda asked, her voice small and shaky.

"Yes, I do Zelda. Or should I say, Princess Zelda!" Link shouted, his eyes glittering with rage.

Zelda was about to start crying, "How did you find out?"

"Do you really think I am that stupid?" Link shouted.

"I… I just didn't want my father to find me!" Zelda tried to reason.

"Why did you run in the first place? You should be in the castle with people waiting on you hand and foot instead of here in my house with a broken leg, leaning on my chair!" Link yelled, kicking the chair that Zelda was leaning against.

Zelda fell to the floor in a crumpled heap, crying from both the fear of Link and the pain from her leg.

"Why did you run?" Link repeated his question, his voice still angry.

"You… you wouldn't understand!" Zelda whimpered.

"Try me!" Link yelled, standing over Zelda.

Zelda cowered, "My father… he wouldn't listen to me! He wanted me to do everything he wanted me to do!"

"Oh! I am so sorry Zelda. I didn't mean to yell at you. All you ran away for is so that you could have things YOUR way!" Link yelled angrily.

"You won't…. tell my father I am here… will you?" Zelda asked.

"I think I will actually!" Link yelled, "I think that I will, so he can drag your sorry butt out of here!"

That was all Zelda needed. Her fear and the willingness to run gave some strength back to her leg, enabling her to stand. Turning to the door, she ran, ignoring Link's yells. Opening it, she ran out into the forest. She forgot that it was dark. She forgot that Wolfos roamed the forest at night. She forgot all the dangers. All she wanted to do was get away from Link and run from the truth. All over again.

"Go away and stay away!" Link yelled as he saw Zelda disappear into the night. He really tried to be nice to her, but he couldn't stand her. He hated people who lied. Letting Epona in, he closed the door. She'd be back. He knew she would. She'd come crawling back, begging him to forgive her and asking if she could still stay. He didn't know what he'd say then… but he didn't care. He'd bother about the moment when it came.

After running for several minutes, Zelda's leg gave way and she fell onto the ground, her leg aching even more than before. Zelda layed on the ground crying. She didn't want to be found, but she didn't want to be lost either. She sobbed so loud that she didn't notice the hungry growls of the Wolfos as they slowly approached the clearing she was lying in…
