CHAPTER 6

Shadowed Terrors

"Link…. Link, I like this one. What do you think?", asked Zelda, holding up two dresses. They were both made of fine silk and were equally pretty on her.

Link rolled his eyes. "They both look good on you. It wouldn't matter which one you bought.", he answered.

She sighed. "Please just give me a straight answer…." She held up them both.

Link came up close to her, knocked the dresses out of her hands, and wrapped his hands around her waist. He looked her strait in the eyes and said, "If there were no dresses in the world, and you had to wear tunics, you'd still be the most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes on."

She smiled, and lifted her head to kiss him. After a few days, she had got used to this kissing concept. Nothing could stop her from being with Link. That stupid fairy had been gone since the night Zelda and Link got together. So much for threatening Zelda.

Though the nuisance was gone, she began seeing the hooded man around more often. He wasn't just walking around like normal people would. Instead, Zelda would see him out of the corner of her eye, lurking in the shadows. Whenever she turned around to get a better look at him, he would always disappear.

Zelda had her arms around Link's neck. She completely forgot they were in a public place. "ehem…. Excuse me, but do you happen to plan to buy something, or use this place as a make out area?", asked a salesman. Zelda and Link quickly broke apart to the salesman's presence. He didn't look happy.

"Err…. Yeah, um, I want to buy this one please.", said Zelda, very embarrassed. The salesman grabbed the dress, and turned around to get to the register. Zelda and Link followed. She looked back at him with a grin.

"The price is 80 rupees.", declared the man. Zelda paid, she had refused when Link had insisted on paying. They went on their way into central Clocktown.

"Are we done shopping?", whined Link. He sounded like such a kid to her.

"Yes… What do you want to do now?", she asked. His face lit up. She had promised that after they went shopping she would do what he wanted to do.

He grabbed her hand, and led her outside of Clocktown to where Epona stood, waiting for them. They mounted her and rode towards Romania Ranch.

Epona flew through Milk Road, and into a large field with a ranch on the side. Outside, two redheaded girls stood, waiting for them. One was, what it looked, only about two years younger than she. The other looked like she was in her twenties.

"Hey Link!", called the younger one.

"Hi, Creamia.", said Link, getting off of Epona. "Zel, you remember yesterday that I went to the ranch right?"

"Yeah.", she said hopping down. "You never told me what for though/"

"Well, Creamia, why don't you go get the surprise."

"Okay!", she said happily, skipping around back of the barn.

Zelda gave Link a questionable look. "What surprise?"

"You'll see.", he whispered in her ear.

Then, Creamia came back. Not alone though. She was leading an all chocolate mare.

"She's yours.", he said.

Zelda screamed with joy. "LINK!!! OH MY GOD!!! Are you serious!?" She ran up to the mare and hugged around her neck. Link followed next to her.

"Very serious.", he said. Zelda whipped around, and threw her arms around his neck. She kissed him lovingly.

"Oh, Link. Thank you so much!", she said excitedly. "I can't explain in words how happy I am!"

"No need…", he said, followed by a kiss.

"What shall I name her?", she asked, still overjoyed by the large present.

"Whatever you want.", he said.

"Hmmmmm….. How about… Anastasia?", she asked the horse. "How would you like that name?" The horse answered with a happy neigh. Zelda laughed. "Oh, and what a smart horse you are."

"Then Anastasia it is.", exclaimed Link.


The rest of the day consisted of hugs and kisses. No matter what, nothing could spoil the young couple's happiness. After dinner, Zelda decided that she wanted to take a walk by herself to have some thinking time. Link didn't mind since he was extremely tired. Right after Zelda had left, he fell asleep.

Zelda was walking through the deserted streets of Clocktown. This was her favorite time to walk. When everything was silent, and she could practically hear her thoughts.

She quietly strolled through the shadows, closing her eyes in deep thought. Zelda went on for awhile until she heard faint footsteps. She tried to ignore it, thinking it was her imagination. The footsteps became stronger after a few minutes.

She new it was real, but kept telling herself not to panic. Her heart rate sped up as the footsteps got closer. Zelda quickened her steps, but not to the point noticeable. If she had an attacker, she didn't want him to know she knew he was there.

'don't look back. Do anything, but look back', she thought. She looked for a sign of shelter anywhere, but it way to dark to see. Then the footsteps behind her started to run. 'Oh, my god', she panicked.

Zelda started running as fast as she could. No matter what, she wouldn't let anything get her. Then it happened. Someone grabbed her arm violently. When she was turned around, all she could make out was darkness.

Her eyes grew wide as she screamed out. Zelda tore free of the hand , and started running away again. Out of terror, she couldn't stop herself from breathing hard. She tried an tried, but she couldn't calm down. Now she was stumbling all over the place. Her lungs started to get heavy. Not enough air was reaching them.

It was so dark. She held out her hands, rushing through the black curtains of the shadows. There was no point of having her eyes open, it would do no good. Suddenly, her foot caught on a small rock. Zelda came crashing to the ground. Her head felt numb. She looked up to the corner to see that there was one torch aflame. It looked as if she was in a courtyard or something.

The flame was hazy, as if everything were going to fade. Then she saw them. Two feet walked up to her head. All she could make out were the boots the person was wearing, but then she noticed something floating in the air. She knew at that second it was Navi.

'oh…no…', she thought. As she slowly closed her eyes, and blacked out.


Sorry if that was soooooo short, but don't be sad, cuz I'll probably update like in a day cuz I just wanted to have a cliffy. I know… evil!!!!!. But the next one will be longer…promise!!!!!
