Thanks for all my readers. I've finally found a way to break my story down into the proper paragraphs now… But there's '.' Everywhere… So '.' On a line on it's own means the next piece of text is a new paragraph. It just looks like it's been double spaced.
Character- Saria
Setting- Saria is on her way to the bridge where she knows she will have to say goodbye to her best friend.
There's no other explanation.
After all these years…
What I have known all along…
Today is the day it's going to happen.
Link is going to leave the forest.
.
I run through the tall grass.
It tickles my legs.
"Saria? Where are you going so fast?" Asked one of the other girls.
I ignore her.
She won't care anyway.
No one else cares about Link.
.
I walk through the tunnel that leads to the bridge.
He'll come through here…
When he leaves.
I hide behind one of the posts.
I stay still.
.
Gahi, my fairy, flutters around my head.
"Saria, are you sure about this?" She asks me, "We don't even know if he's coming."
"I know he is." I tell her.
I remain silent, listening hard.
I hear soft footsteps on the grass.
My heart stops.
He's really leaving then.
.
I see him come out of the tunnel.
He walks right by me.
I take a deep breath.
I step out behind him.
He stops and turns around.
"Saria… I"
.
Oh Farore.
I hoped it wouldn't be this hard.
I swallow.
"It's alright Link. I know you have to leave… Somehow I've always known. You're not like the rest of us."
I fight back my tears.
.
"Listen… I- I'm sorry. But… I have to. Do you… you know… understand?" He asks.
Of course I understand.
But…
I wish I didn't.
Maybe it would make this easier.
.
I try my best to smile.
I reach in my pocket for my ocarina.
It's his birthday present.
I wanted to give it to him later today, but…
Now, I guess, is good too.
.
"I got you a present." I say.
I pull out my ocarina and hold it out to him.
He smiles weakly.
"Saria, I can't take this." He says with difficulty.
"No…" I say, "You have to."
I push it into his hands.
.
Why?
Why does he have to go?
It's not fair.
Oh Goddesses.
"Now, wherever you go, you'll always have a piece of the forest with you." I tell him.
He smiles. "Thanks."
"Happy birthday Link." I whisper.
.
He opens his mouth.
Then closes it.
He takes a step forward, then hesitates.
I look at him, lost for words.
He looks so different now…
With a fairy and all.
Oh, why can't he stay?
.
He takes a step back.
Then another.
…And another.
Oh no… he's leaving now!
I lift up my hand but…
He turns and runs.
.
I watch him disappear.
.
He's really gone then.
But…
He can't really have…
I…
What…?
Why?
No.
I-I won't believe it.
I can't.
He'll come back…
Won't he?
.
Can't he see?
Can't he tell that I need him here?
…With me.
Doesn't he care about me?
Are friends supposed to hurt each other like this?
.
I feel the tears run down my cheeks.
My shoulders shake.
I let the tears run freely.
I don't care anymore.
I feel like there's nothing to care about.
.
I pull myself together enough to be able to make the trip home.
I need to go to the meadow.
I need to think.
I need…
A friend again.
Well, that chapter was short, but that's all I wanted to say for Saria this time. Well, I still haven't gotten any requests yet, but my offer still stands. Review me with your ideas or comments! Thanks for reading!
