Past and Future Romance
Ch. 6
"I'm sorry your highness, but we looked everywhere twice and still, there is no sign of Link anywhere." One of the guards said.
Zelda didn't know what to do anymore. She didn't want to stop looking, but she couldn't make her guards keep looking the same places for him. The search had been going on for two days and not one person seen or heard of Link since that night he left.
"Maybe it's time for you to give up dear," her father said to her as he put his arm around her.
Zelda's eyes were swollen from crying so much. She literally couldn't cry anymore because she cried so much in the past two days. Zelda looked at her father, "Do you think Link would want us to stop looking for him only after two days? No, I won't give up just yet. I know he isn't dead. Please daddy just a few more days and then we can stop." She asked hoping he would agree with her.
The King sighed, "Guards continue looking for three more days and then if there isn't any sign of him, then the search will stop." the king told his guards.
Zelda hugged her father, "Thank you daddy." she said. The king said nothing just held her in his arms.
Lunch time arrived and Kimberly and Link sat at a table by themselves. They hit it off really good considering they were related. As Link ate his food, he felt someone slap his head. He turned around and notice it was Jason and his buddies laughing at him and causing trouble.
"Hey why don't you leave him alone. He hasn't done anything to you." Kimberly yelled at Jason. Jason just laughed and walked away not acknowledging her.
"Are you okay?" Kimberly asked. "Yea I'm fine. Those guys are a bunch of jerks though." "Yea, they think they are so cool just because they are on the football team, but don't worry about them they are just trying to scare you."
Link smiled as he took a bite out of his hot dog. "So who were you talking about earlier when you mentioned Zelda?" Kimberly asked from out of the blue.
Link almost choked on his hot dog. "Well Zelda is a girlfriend I have back home. But I won't be seeing her for a while." He said.
Kimberly smirked, "Well I'm sorry to hear that. Anyway are you finding your way okay?"
"Yea, I already have a bunch of these writings to look over." He said. Kimberly gave him a funny look, "You mean homework? Well if you need any help you are welcome to come over to my house and I'll be glad to help." she said as she smiled.
"Thanks, I might have to do that." he said as he took his last bite of food.
"Today class, we have a new student. Everyone this is Landon Hathorn. He moved here from Europe." Jason and his friends booed loudly at Link making him feel uncomfortable.
"Now boys, you butter shut your mouth now before I send you all to the principal got it!" the teacher yelled.
"Yes, Ms. Richardson." Jason and his friends said.
"Good now Landon, go have a seat and we will start with the lesson for today."
Ms. Richardson handed Link a book and told everyone to open to page 105.
"Now today students we will be talking about the famous Legend of the Hero and his Princess."
Link's eye went wide as he heard the teacher talk about the Legend. He sat in his seat and listened closely to what she said.
"Now some of you probably heard it and some of you have now, but Legend has it that a young boy saved a whole country on his own and defeated the evil monster and saved the princess. Isn't that in fairy tales though? Well according to these history books we have, the legend is actually true. There was a boy from the 1500's that saved a land named Hyrule."
"Actually it happened in 1497." Link said.
Ms. Richardson looked surprised, "Well Landon I see you know something about this."
Link chuckled, "Yea you could say that." he said.
"Well Mr. Hathorn why don't you share with the class what you know?"
Link saw everyone stare at him. He felt kinda awkward at the moment. But if the legend was about him then they should know the truth right?
Link got up from his chair and stood next to the teacher. "Well, it all started actually when a man named gannondorf was born. You see he was the only male born out of a tribe called the guerdos. Since he was the only male. The male that was born every 100 years would be ruler."
Link kept telling the story and everyone listened intensively. "You see after Gannon was defeated, the boy, Link was dead, but the hardship he went through after saving the whole country, the goddesses gave him another chance at life. The princess and the Hero fell in love but they princess had to bring him back to his own time. The hero didn't want to because he wanted to be with her so he declared his love for her and asked her if he could stay with her. The princess agreed and they stayed together. That's all I know what happened" he told the teacher.
"Splendid job Mr. Hathorn, you told the story like you were actually there" she said to him.
Link laughed, "I guess so." he told her.
"Okay take a seat please." she told him. "Well after that, the Hero was knighted and the princess and hero got married."
"Did they have any children?" Link asked being curious of how his future looked.
"The teacher smiled, "Yes they did they had a boy and a girl and they lived until they were very old. The legend says that when the Princess died of old age, Link was so heartbroken to be without her that he died a few weeks later. They now have a statue of the two in Hyrule now." She said.
Link thought a moment, "Wow me and Zelda have two kids and live a very long time. Well at least I know she is going to say yes when i ask her to marry me, and then I'm going to be knighted? Wow, I must be really famous!" link thought as he chuckled to himself.
3:00 came and Larry was there waiting for Link.
"So how was your first day of High School?" Larry asked as Link got into the car. "It was really good. I met these jerks, but other than that a lot of weird stuff happened."
"Really?" Larry said looking surprised. "What happened?"
"Well in history today, they were talking about the legend of the hero and princess, and since it was me, I told them the real story. Then I met a girl today, but she isn't any ordinary girl, she is my great grandchild generations down the line! Isn't that incredible! He said.
"Link you can't tell her who you are okay." Larry said telling him to be cautious.
"Well she wanted me to go to her house tonight to help me with my homework so she wrote all these numbers down" he told him handing him a note.
"This is her telephone number and address, I'll take you there if you want, but it's just a few blocks away."
Later that evening, Larry dropped Link off at Kimberly's house. He was amazed at how big it was. Kimberly was waiting for him outside.
"Hey Landon, I'm glad you found the place." she told him. "Yea, you have a really big house." he told her.
Kimberly chuckled, "Yea well my parents are loaded you can say it runs from generation to generation" Link smirked, "Yea if only she knew that her ancestor's were the King and Queen" he thought to himself.
Kimberly took his hand and showed her the house. But let's go somewhere's else b/c my aunt and uncle are arguing." she said as they went to her car.
When they got inside, Link heard the music blaring. She looked at him and smiled, "What you don't like rap music?" she asked him.
"No, I rather rock. Especially Slipknot" he told her. "So what do your parent's do for a living?" he asked her.
"Well my mom's a doctor and my dad's a lawyer, and my aunt's a lawyer and my uncle is a doctor. Isn't that weird? Well what about you?" she said.
"My parent's died when I was young. So I'm kind of a loner." he said. "Well I'm sorry to hear that.
They rode for a good hour and talked the whole time. They had so much in common. "So you and your girlfriend, how long have ya'll been dating?" she asked. "Well we known each other for seven years, but we have been dating about eight months. Before I left I was going to propose to her but now she is in a place where I won't be able to communicate with her for a long time."
"Is she dead?" she asked. "Kind of." was all Link said. "How about you?" "Well I dated Jason for a few month's but then I found out he was just a dickhead, so no one" she told him.
By the time they rode back to Kimberly's house and did a little bit of homework, it was 9:00. "My goodness the time goes by fast!" she said. "Yea, it sure does. Well I guess I will see you at school tom." He told her as he started walking down the street. "Be careful and I'll see you later." she told him as she waved.
As Link walked back to Larry's house, he couldn't help to think of how Kimberly was so much identical to Zelda. He missed her so much. She was on his mind every single day since he had been gone.
