Chapter 19 Silence
A/n: I'm really sorry that it took soooo long to update, but I wanted to fix all of my chapters before I did it. But I didn't get but the first chapter fixed and I'm still working on the second chapter, so I updated so I can get the story through with and then I can work on fixing it. Thanks for everyone that reviews my stories. I think the most people that have reviewed every chapter would have to be 'Mickey-chan13' (a.k.a. lightsakura) and Nichole08. By the way, mickey-chan13, why did you change your name, huh? I kinda liked your old name. And when are 'YOU' going to update your story, huh???
…Last Time… (So I can waste space and make it look like I wrote a really long chapter)
The shopkeeper looked at the couple and shook her head. It was sad to see something like that happen. But it had to be the boys fault. Apparently he had done something wrong to make the girl angry at him. She shook her head again before continuing on her potion.
Link walked out into the rain and made his journey back across the drawbridge and mounted Epona. He looked around hoping to see Yuki. Even a glimpse of her to make sure he knew where she was and that she as okay. But he didn't see her. He left to go to the next temple where another sage was awaiting his assistance.
Yuki saw Link leave out to Hyrule's field and fell to the cold, wet ground. She had been waiting in the shadows of the little store to see if he would come after her again. She was half hoping that he would and the other half was hoping he wouldn't. She didn't like to let people see her cry. It showed a sign of weakness. But she was weak when it came to him. She would never admit to it, but she was. She let the pouring rain consume her as she huddled up to the dark corner of the street.

(Curtains open and play begins)
He left her. He really left her. She watched him leave. That's what she wanted, right? She wanted him to leave. He really hurt her, but … yet … she wanted him. She wanted him to hold her the same way he did in the Lost Woods. Even if it was a lie. She wanted to be held tightly in his embrace. But everything happened for reasons that she will never understand. She hugged herself and started crying into the cold night. She was always happy around him … then he disappeared. She didn't think he would ever come back, but he did. Then she was happy again. It seemed to that she could never be happy. It was always taken away from her. It wasn't meant to be.
The rain had stopped awhile ago and she dried her tears away from her face. The rain had left Yuki freezing in the rain. She was cold, lonely, and miserable.
It was silent. All you could hear was the wind and the chirping of crickets and other bugs, but even then it seemed the wind was whispering and the bugs were telling their secrets to each other. Usually, after a rain like that you could hear a number of bugs singing in chorus with each other and the frogs would tell of the joy of the cool, wet rain, but she really didn't hear anything. Maybe it was the evil of this place. After Ganondorf took over the once beautiful castle of Hyrule and built a castle with the promise of misfortune and misery it had been left and the witch in the once pottery shop was the only one she knew that had been brave enough to come here.
All of a sudden, without her noticing, it was silent. So silent that she could hear her heartbeat, and it was getting faster and beating harder in her chest. It was never this silent. Never. It was like a vacuum when all the air is sucked out of one place. The 'real' silence before the 'real' storm. Yuki got to her feet and held herself for warmth. It was cold, and it seemed to get even colder. There was no breeze to make her feel the shiver that crawled up her spine that moment. The sky was getting darker in color. More black and red mixed together with thunder storms and lightning, but no rain. She felt real evil before she saw it, before she heard it. She felt this before. It was breath taking.
She couldn't move and it got colder. She breathed and saw her breath in the cold night. She wanted to run, but couldn't. This feeling was familiar. She didn't like it. It couldn't be anything good. The silence was broken. It seemed far away. Far, far away. But she heard it. It was getting closer. It was creeping up on her. She now heard her own fast heartbeat in her ears. It was pounding loudly now, so that she could barley hear that noise that threateningly, crept slowly to her. She breathed harder and it seemed to make her heart stop when she heard footsteps behind her. For a moment she didn't hear her heartbeat, but only the loud thud of each footstep.
She managed to slowly turn around.
Link saw and understood what he had done to her and felt ashamed. He wanted to get through with this journey and save Hyrule, so he could properly apologize to her. He wanted her. Wanted her by his side. It pained him every time he was away from her, and it hurt even more to know that he made her cry. She didn't deserve it. Not from him or anyone else. She had been through so much. She was strong. Stronger than anyone he knew and to see her cry surprised him. And she was crying over him.
Navi looked at him in pity and shame before flying upon his shoulder to rest. They had made it to the last temple and seemed to be making great progress through the dungeon. He seemed more determined than ever. Navi knew that they had feelings for each other and she knew that Link never meant to hurt her and it surprised her to see the solemn face he had. Not one time did he smile since the incident.
Link felt something was wrong. He didn't know what, but it felt something had been taken away from him all of a sudden. Maybe the room he was in made him feel that way. He looked around to see if he had dropped something, but he didn't. He still felt it and it hurt. He didn't know what was wrong and tried to shake off the feeling. He went into the next room and it was still there. That feeling. It cried out to him. That something that was taken away was crying loudly. He could almost hear it in his ears. It was loud and demanding, but sad. It made him feel even more depressed. He didn't like the feeling and thought that maybe it was the Temple calling out to him. Maybe not. It didn't seem like it. He just wanted out and it urged him on to go further through the temple.
(Close curtins and applause are heard throughout the stage room)
To be continued….
