Chapter Five
Nabooru is your mom
Zelda opened her eyes slowly. She was in the courtyard. Morning had come. She straightened before realizing she wasn't exactly wearing anything. Panicky, she siezed the pink overshirt lying beside her and held over her chest, wondering what was going on.
She looked around. Memories of the previous night flooded back to her. Impa... Impa had been killed somehow. And then Link had come. Well... it wasn't exactly Link. More like... a shadow of him. And after that? It was hard to remember... he had kissed her, she knew that... kissed her in places she probably shouldn't have let him reach...
She shook the thought from her mind. She needed to stay in the present. Where was Impa? She turned toward the platform where Impa's body had been. She was gone. Someone had cleaned up (most of) the blood. She felt a little better.
"I took her to the graveyard," said a voice behind her. She turned. It was Link, or rather, the shadow of him she had met last night. Realizing she was only half-decent, she scrambled to cover herself with her scattered garments lying around.
He chuckled. "Not to worry, Princess," he said, "I've seen all there is to see."
She blushed. She wished he would stop staring.
"Her body is lying by the Royal graves," he said, as if reading her mind. "The gravekeeper will find her. It will be all right." He took a step closer.
"Don't," she said. He hesitated obediently.
"I don't like this," she said, unable to voice her thoughts correctly. "This... isn't right."
"Princess," he said, smiling, "you are merely experiencing something you have never really experienced before. It is nothing to fear."
"I... I wish to dress," she said. "Please turn away."
"Suit yourself," he said, shrugging. He turned his back on her but did not walk away.
She pulled the top skirt and overshirt on, grabbing the undergarments to put on later.
"I will be in my chamber," she said. "One of the guards will see you out."
"Yes, Princess."
Feeling slightly traumatized, she walked past him and out to her room.
