^.^ Chapter 8 ^.^ - The Visit
Zelda sobbed. She couldn't believe her father could be so cold. It was true, the furthest that she could remember was her grieving over the death of her mother. It seemed that there were some things that the heart remembered, even if the mind didn't.
"Zelda…" Link said quietly, trying to comfort her.
Saria didn't leave the window, but she did say words of comfort to Zelda. They even stopped her crying.
"Why do you stay at the window Saria?" Link asked, "It's almost as if you can sense something."
"Something bad is going to happen…" Saria said quietly.
"What bad thing?' Zelda asked as she walked to the window too.
"Stay back," Saria warned.
"I don't understand!" Zelda said, worriedly.
Saria didn't remove her gaze from the window, "Zelda, you too Link, hide. Stay out of sight. If anyone looks through any of the windows, they must not be able to see you."
Link and Zelda obeyed without asking. Running out of Link's room, they looked around. There was a window in every single room of the house! There was no where they could hide.
"In here!" Link whispered as he ran to an empty closet.
Zelda hesistated. The closet was very small.
"Come on!" Link hissed as he went into the closet himself.
"Go!" Saria told her, still looking out the window.
Zelda nodded and ran into the closet and closed it.
Lucky for Zelda that she ran into the closet when she did, for there was a knocking at the front door.
Saria walked to it and opened it, "Yes? May I help you?"
As she expected, the king and some of his men were at the door.
"Well, hello Saria!" the king greeted the small girl smugly.
Saria bowed low, "Welcome to my humble home, your highness."
"You say this is your house?" the king asked, looking around.
Saria nodded, "I have been living in here for a while now. It's very peaceful here and there are no Kokiri running around to disturb me."
Saria brought a chair for the king to sit on, but the king remained standing, "Well, you haven't seen… him, have you?"
"You mean Lin…" Saria was about to utter the 'forbidden word'. If she had said it, she would have been killed for sure.
"Yes, I mean him!" the king shouted angrily.
"No, your highness, sir!" Saria quickly lied.
The king nodded and walked to the door, "Well, my daughter is missing. You know, Princess Zelda. I am convinced that she has been abducted by him. Tell me if you see her will you? That will be all."
Saria bowed again and clsed the door behind the king. Running to the closet, she held it clossed for a while, listening carefully, she knew the king was still outside.
"Find him and bring him to me. He will tell me where my daughter is or he will die!" the king roared to his men. There was a sound of many horses galloping away.
"Stay here until I let you out," Saria whispered at the closet and locked it.
