^.^ Chapter 13 ^.^ - Short-lived Reunion

Zelda sat at her desk crying. Finally, she had found Link, after years of being separated from him and being oblivious to his existence. She had fallen in love with him and then what happens? She was forced to live her life separated from him again, this time knowing he was there, and being in love with him! The thought of it brought even more tears to her.

"Princess Zelda, please, stop crying. It will do no-one no good," Zelda's maid pleaded as she had been doing ever since Zelda had been locked in her room.

"How can I Vera?" Zelda asked as she turned around, "How can I stop crying? How would you feel if your father forced you to live your entire life without the man you loved?"

Vera went silent. Of course she didn't know how it would feel. She had lived in the castle all her life and was never allowed to go outside to meet a man to fall in love with in the first place, "I'm sorry princess. In that case, I probably cannot even estimate the pain you are going through in the first place. But please, is there nothing I can do to help you?"

Zelda sighed, Vera was more of a friend to her than a maid, "There is nothing. You may leave if you want. I know that I'm not exactly the easiest person to spend time with when I'm crying."

Vera nodded. Bowing, she left, "Call me if you need any help."

Zelda nodded and rested her head on her desk. Vera was right, there was no point in crying. Looking out the window, she realised that the sun was setting. That meant that dinner would be in a few hours. She wondered what arrangements had been made for dinner. If she would be able to go to the dining room or not. A Wolfos howl signaled nightfall.

"This is so boring," Zelda muttered as she got up and walked to her window.

The grounds were dark. She could sneak out. If only the guards weren't outside her room, not letting her go anywhere.

"Link?" Zelda noticed a shadowy figure walking towards her window.

The figure stepped into the light. To Zelda's joy, it was Link

"How did you get here? How did you sneak past all the guards?" Zelda asked in a whisper.

Link smiled, he wanted to speak, but was afraid that he would be caught.

Reading his thoughts, Zelda nodded. "Ladder. Hurry up."

Zelda threw the rope ladder that she had used to run away down to Link so he could climb it.

"Do you always keep a ladder in your room?" Link asked, smiling as he climbed into Zelda's room.

Zelda smiled too, "Yep. It's how I get away from the castle."

Link's smile faded and he kissed Zelda, "I missed you."

Tears formed in Zelda's eyes again, "I missed you too."

Pulling the ladder up, Link gave it to Zelda, who put it away.

"Is Saria…?" Zelda asked as she kissed Link again.

"No, she doesn't know I came back. I didn't want to bother her again," Link replied.

"Oh," Zelda said as she held Link, kissing him for longer this time.

"AAAAAAAAAAARGH! GUARDS! COME QUICK! COME QUICK! BRING THE PRINCESS!" a shrill scream caused Link and Zelda to quickly pull away.

"Hide!" Zelda whispered.

"Where?" Link asked, looking around quickly.

Opening her closet, Zelda pushed him in, "Stay here until I let you out, okay?"

Link nodded as Zelda kissed him quickly and locked the door.

"Princess!" a guard quickly burst into the room just as she finished locking her closet.

"Yes? I heard a scream, what is wrong?" Zelda asked innocently.

"I think that you should come with me," the guard told her as he took her arm and led her down the hall.

"Why are we stopping?" Zelda asked worriedly as they stopped outside the king's study, "Why are we stopping outside my father's study? What happened?"

The guard grimaced slightly and opened the door, taking Zelda inside.

What Zelda saw next made her scream and fall to the floor.
