Hey I'm back! Did ya miss me??? : ) here ya go!

CHAPTER 11

Dreaming of you

Zelda was walking a deep forest. The shadows cooled the hot summer day. She was going to meet someone in here, but right now she had no clue who. All she knew was she was ready to say goodbye. A feeling of sadness overcame her. Why was she feeling sad? She had no idea what she was doing in the first place.

She looked down at her dress. It wasn't the normal adult sized dress she usually wore. She was dressed in her old, eleven year old clothes. Plus she couldn't exactly control herself. It was as if she were gliding towards her destination. Something was making her come this way.

Suddenly she stopped in her tracks. She was at the spot her mind told her to be. What was happening? She sighed and let herself rest against a tree. He was supposed to be here by now. 'Who am I waiting for?', she thought.

Maybe he already left. Didn't want to say their sad farewells. No, he wouldn't do that to her. He wouldn't have asked her to meet him here if he wasn't going to come. She closed her eyes in deep thought. Why did I agree to come out here?

Her sensitive ears picked up something in the distance. It was hoofs. Finally. The hoofs came closer, then to a stop in front of her. She opened her bright, blue eyes to see him standing in front of her. She smiled lightly, but when she remembered what she was here for, her smile had disappeared. She bowed her head towards the ground, not wanting to make eye contact. It would just make her feel worse. They stood there in silence, the only sounds heard were the music of the woods.

He reached out his hand and lifted up her head. His eyes pierced into her soul. This boy, even when she had just met him that day in her courtyard, she had felt she knew him all along. For months there friendship grew until he told her the horrible news. That he was to leave. Leave and might not ever come back. Only he had never said that. He had promised he would come back. As soon as he found his friend.

That's what made her like him so much. He would do anything for a friend, but she had left him. Zelda had no idea why you would leave a perfectly good friend to find one that has left on purpose. But that was what made him such a caring person.

"Thanks for coming here. I really wanted to see you one last time before I go.", he said. She smiled trying not to show him her sadness.

"Link, you are my first friend. My only friend. Why must you leave?", she asked. How childish she was. He had already told her a good reason to go, but she always insisted that there was more to it.

"I just have to.", he sighed. "I will come back as soon as I can. I promise…. If I don't find her a week before your birthday, I will come back."

"You will be there for my birthday?", he eyes lit up. She never had a friend to wish her a happy birthday. It was only a few months into the future, and she would turn twelve. He nodded to her question.

Without warning, she threw her arms around him in a tight hug. Tears started to fall from her eyes. "Link, you are truly a friend." She wanted to say best friend. Her heart even wanted to say more than that, but they hadn't known each other very long and it would be out of place. After all, he did have other friends and she had no idea where she stood.

"I will miss you, Zel", said Link. They slowly broke apart from their hug.

"I'll miss you too.", she said, wiping away the tears from her cheeks. Then she remembered what she wanted to give to him. "oh, I almost forgot…."

She pulled a small object from her dress pocket and held it out in front of him. His eyes were fixed on the tiny item. "I know we haven't known each other that long, but I feel that we've been friends forever. Here, I want you to have this to remember me by."

She placed it in his hand. He looked up from the gift. "Is this…?"

"The ocarina of time.", she finished him. " I know you will keep it safe. I'll teach you a song."

"I can't take this, Zel. It's a royal heirloom. If your father finds…"

"Please… take it.", she interrupted. "He will never find out. Trust me." Link sighed pulling the small, blue instrument to his lips.

Zelda started to hum a song. Link followed the notes, playing each one perfectly. After playing it she stared up at him. "That's the song of time. Remember me when you play it."

"I will", he smiled. "Goodbye, princess." He turned around to mount his horse Epona, but he stopped and went back to her. Quickly, he gave her a kiss on the cheek and jumped on Epona's back, riding deeper into the woods. With a wave he disappeared into the shadows.

Zelda stared to where his figure was getting smaller. She held a fragile hand to her cheek, blushing in the process. "He kissed me!", she screamed in joy. She jumped and started spinning.

Zelda sat upright in bed. She looked around the room. Link was sound asleep next to her. She glanced over to the night stand. The object of her dreams was sitting on the side. She grabbed it from it's place and observed it. This was definitely the ocarina. Her ocarina.

There was no way, just no way that happened. She didn't remember any of that ever happening. She was never even aloud out of the castle. But everything fitted together like that really did happen. That was why the ocarina was gone, but how did she not remember such a big part of her life.

She looked down at the sleeping figure beside her. 'and how come he never remembered me?' ,she thought panicky. 'Goddesses, what's wrong with me? What happened to make me forget this?' This definitely happened. She just knew it, it was a feeling.

"I need to go for a walk.", she whispered, to no one in particular. She slowly got out of bed and went downstairs to exit the building. It was still partially dark. She could see the light of the sun illuminate the sky in the distance.

A thought came to mind as she walked hastily away from the inn. 'The old man. He knew about something no one else knew. I have to talk to him', she thought, headed towards the tower.

She entered the colorful tower and climbed up the spiral steps. Surprisingly, the man looked as if he were expecting a visitor.

"Why hello, miss", he greeted. Zelda came closer. "What be your problem, you look weary."

"I have to ask you a few questions.", she stated. The old man raised a curious brow.

"Would it concern the stars?", he asked, waiting to give one of his explanations.

Zelda shook her head. "No, I need to know about the boy who saved this town from the skull kid."

"Ah, I see.", he said. "What do you wish to know about him?"

"Everything. Who he is, why did he come, why are you the only one who knows about it?", she rambled.

"Alright, the story starts like this… A little boy came to town one day. He was cursed by an evil skull kid. The skull kid had turned him into a Deku scrub. A traveler promised the boy he would be able to turn him back if he did something for him. That something was to get an ancient mask from the skull kid. The mask of Majora."

"It was an evil mask that made anyone who wore it evil. Majora had a plan to bring down the moon and destroy Termina in three days. On the third day, the boy fought Majora and won. After that, the boy seemed to disappear. "

"Then one night, I was watching from my tower. An army sized group of soldiers entered Termina. I had no idea what they were doing there, until they let out some sort of gas that went throughout the town. I saw all the village people collapse on the ground."

"Luckily the guards didn't come to the tower. The next day I came to investigate if the people were alright. They seemed just fine, but when I mentioned the moon and the boy, they looked at me weird as if they had no idea what I was talking about."

"The guards must have dispersed some kind of forgetting spell on the villagers. I'm still in question as to why. The boy made regular visits to Termina. And as sure as the villagers, the boy had no recollection of what happened either. For a while I thought I was going crazy. So I just kept my mouth shut in fear someone would send me away.", the old man finished.

"The guy I was with the other day, you recognized him as the boy who saved the moon?", asked Zelda. The old man nodded his head. "Then why didn't you mention anything?!"

"I simply told the story. You saw his reaction miss.", he explained calmly. He was not at all moved by Zelda's sudden outburst.

"I'm so lost right now.", she said, pounding her head. "Thank you for the information, I… I have to go find out more." She exited the tower and ran towards the inn.

Inside the room, Link was just waking up. "Link?….", she waited for a reply.

"Yeah?", he asked, sleepily.

"I have to go to the Zora place today. Is that alright with you?" He was now rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

"I'll come with you if you like.", he said, getting out of bed.

"No, that's okay. I need to ask someone a few things. I'll be back soon.", she closed the door and headed out. Link was left staring at the door, very confused.

"Lulu?", Zelda knocked on her door, behind the stage. She looked around to see if anyone was watching out. If she got caught she would probably be thrown out. Now she knocked a little harder. She heard footsteps from within.

Lulu opened a crack in the door. "Yes?", she asked.

"Hello, I think you know who I am. Zelda?", she tried, hoping that would trigger something.

"Oh yes, you are with Link.", she smiled, recognizing her. She opened the door a bit more. "How are you two?"

"Fine… We are engaged.", she answered, forgetting for a second why she came.

Lulu smiled widely. "Congratulations!" She opened the door fully this time. "Do come in." Zelda entered the fairly large room.

"Actually, I haven't come to tell you that. I came to ask you some things.", started Zelda. She sat down on the small chair that was at the end of the room. Lulu sat in the opposite one.

"What is it?", she asked.

"First , I have to know how you knew my name." Zelda sat back in her seat, waiting for an answer.

"When he was a boy, he used to talk about you. That was only when we were in danger from the moon. He said to me one day that he would one day have you to himself. I thought it very cute for a twelve year old, but once he saved us and came back, he never spoke of you anymore. When he used to, he gave a really good description. ", said Lulu.

"So he simply stopped talking about it?", she asked. Things were getting really weird. Why would he just stop talking about her? "Did any guards ever come to this place?"

"No. There haven't been many of ever people other than Zoras to visit here. Mostly all the other races don't even know this is here.", replied Lulu.

"Did you ever hear of any guards coming into Clocktown and putting some kind of spell on the people?", she asked.

"I do remember someone saying that the towns people had lost there minds because they did not remember the evil skull kid.", said Lulu, trying to think.

"Thanks for talking to me. I have to go now. One more thing. Do you know of any spells that might make people forget something?" Zelda got up from her chair and was slowly exiting, waiting for an answer.

"No, I'm sorry, but I think the old hags can answer that.", pointed out Lulu. Zelda gave a questionable look. "They live in the bog. You can go ask them."

Zelda nodded, understanding. Today was going to be a long day. She had to know what was going on.
