Chapter 5: The Memory Box
Zelda laid on the bed in the room, crying into her pillow, what Link said to her hurt so much, he's never talked to her that way before, she hated him for the way that she felt right now.
A knocking came at the door
"Go away Link!" said Zelda
"Tet.Zelda I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I'm sorry.
"Go away!" she yelled at him.
There was a sigh heard at the door, and footsteps receding up the steps.
She sat up and wiped her eyes, she was sick of crying, "I cry about everything," she thought, and she hated it when she did.
Then she looked about the room, none of it was familiar to her, she had no idea whose room this was but it wasn't hers.
She stood up and walk around the room, there was a small desk in the corner of the room, and she walked over to it,
There was a bunch of envelopes and letter spread over the desk, she searched through the drawers of the desk and there really wasn't much in them, papers, maps, and a few rubies, until she opened the bottom drawer of the desk; inside sat a small wooden box with flowers on it, and a golden lock on it.
Zelda curiously took out the box and examed it.
"It needs a key," she whispered
She began looking around the room again, and she couldn't think of where it was, then something caught her eye, over her bed there was a small ledge, and a looped piece of brown string.
She looked at the string questionably; so she walked over and then stood on the bed, and grabbed the string and tugged it down, a small golden key swung at the bottom of the necklace.
"This is it," she said, grabbing the key tightly in her hand and walking over to the box, and sticking it in the keyhole, the lock opened with a click.
Zelda took the key out of the lock and then opened the lid of the box.
It side were a few items scattered about the box, a few picture things, and a few items of paper were all that were in there.
Zelda began to examine the items inside, she pulled out on of the pictures, it was of Link and another girl on an island somewhere, the girl was shorter then she had blond hair, and a blue dress there were also seagulls around them.
She turned the photo over and there were writing on the back, all that it said was
Link and Aryll on Outset Island
She examed the picture for a few moments and then tossed it a side.
She was about to look through the box again when all these pictures began flashing through her head.
******Flashback*******
A young girl was hugging Link on the island, tears streaming down her eyes, as Link hugs her back.
"Big brother please don't go!" she said "You've just gotten back, please don't leave again."
Link smiled at the girl "Aryll," he said, "I'd never leave you, I'm always with you, but right now I really need to go with Tetra, I have to keep a promise to a friend of mine that died saying Tetra's and my life."
Aryll let go of Link and looked down at the sand,
"Now I need you to be a big girl for me and take care of Grandma, and I'll write to you all the time, do you understand me?"
She said nothing but silently nodded.
Link smiled and kissed her forehead, "don't worry I promise I'll be back soon, Ok, so don't worry, promise me."
"I promise big brother," and she hugged him again.
He smiled at her, and hugged her back, then he collected his bag that had all of his belongings in it, and then he headed for Tetra's ship.
When he got along the side of the ship there stood Tetra.
"Is she ok?" Tetra asked
"Yeah," said Link with a sigh, "she doesn't want me to go, but I told her that I had to."
"Link," said Tetra, "you don't have to go, if your sister is that worried about it then."
"No," said Link, "I have to go, I made a promise to a friend, and that promise was to live, and I really think this is something I need to do."
Tetra nodded,
Link began heading towards the ship
"Wait big brother!" shouted Aryll
Link and Tetra both stop and saw Link sister running up towards him.
"Here," she said handing them both pictures,
"What this for?" asked Link looking at the picture,
"It's so you'll never forget me."
Link hugged his big sister, "I could never forget you," said Link, "Now be a good girl while I'm gone and take care of Grandma."
"I will." Said Aryll
The walked on to the ship and as they were sailing away Aryll stood on the dock and waved to her brother goodbye.
*********End Flashback*************
Zelda looked at the picture again, and felt a small tear slide down her check. She felt so bad for Link and his sister; she began looking at the other things in the box that lay before her.
There where a few letter in the box that where from Link when he'd travel by himself, telling here where he was and that he was safe.
She put those letters aside and found a letter that was from Link sister to her.
She opened the blue envelope and unfolded the letter, it read:
Dear Tetra,
Hello, how are you, I hope your not giving my brother a hard time, but then again don't go to easy on him, (evil smile) anyways, I just um well wrote to tell you that I think yours and my brother journey and a very courageous one, I think your both very brave to do this and I glad that your working together, and also don't think to harshly on what my brother does sometimes he can be very ditzy sometimes, but one thing I do know is that my brother cares for you a lot and I think he's wroth the pain in the neck he is. Well I think I ramble on to long in this letter and I better let you get back to your duties. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Aryll
Zelda looked at the letter that she held in her hands, from Link sister.
She placed the letter back down and sighed, when another memory popped into her head.
********Flashback**********
Tetra was sitting on the beach of Outset Island she was alone and looking out at the sea when Aryll came up to her.
"Hello Tetra,"
Tetra jumped at the sound of her name, "Oh hi Aryll" she replied
"Sorry I didn't mean to scare you," Aryll replied, "I just saw you over her by your self, and I though you would want some company,"
"Oh I was just thinking," said Tetra
"Oh I hope I'm not interrupting you."
"No," said Tetra, "That's ok sit"
"Thanks," said Aryll, They where both silence and staring out into the water
Tetra was the first to talk, "So where's your brother?"
"Hanging out with your pirates I think."
"Oh really," said Tetra,
"Yeah," said Aryll, "there getting there buts kicked by him,"
Tetra began laughing, "Sounds like Link,"
Aryll smiled, "You seem to know Link pure good,"
Tetra blushed a little, "W-What do you mean,"
Aryll smiled again, "Well I don't, It's just that because you've hung out with him it seem like you know him so well that he could be your bo."
"Don't say it," said a blushing Tetra interrupting Aryll,
Her smile stayed on her face, "Alright, Alright," said Aryll "I just though."
"Enough thinking." Said Tetra,
"Alright, but I do have one thing to say, even though you say it isn't so I still think it's true." And with that she began to walk back to her house.
*********End of Flashback*************
Zelda was all confused, all of these memories, all of these people, she wasn't sure what to think about it.
She stood up from the desk, her head was pounding and she couldn't understand what to think about all of this, all the memories and feeling these memories brought her.
A knocking at her door snapped her out of her thoughts.
"W.Who is it?" asked Zelda
"Tet.Zelda, it's me Link"
She stood up from her bed and straitened out her dress and proceeded to the door and opened it.
Link stood at the door; "What do you want?" asked Zelda
"I guess I came here to apologize to you," said Link "I didn't really mean those things I said."
"Fine," said Zelda, "You're forgiven."
"Huh?" asked Link "That's it, I'm just forgiven?"
"Actually," began Zelda
"I had to say something didn't I,"
She laughed, "I need you're help,"
"With what," asked Link
"With my memories,"
