Chapter 7: The Kakariko Village

A/N: Sorry people! Okay, I broke my promise, my updates have been delayed for like months! Go ahead, kill me...I feel so guilty right now! Shoot me and get it over with. sighs Some author I am making my fans suffer from waiting. The truth is that I mainly work on my drawings than my stories. Then for awhile I forget. Well here's the next chapter, enjoy! (-.-) dies slowly

INTRO: Link and Zelda plan to conserve the people of Hyrule to a safer place, but everyone is clueless on what going on. They begin to question confusingly. What is the meaning of this? They say. The King knew everything, but kept quiet among his people. He just waits for Link's chaotic journey to be done. We don't know if this will be successful, but it's better to risk your life trying. Link and Zelda start their memorable journey...

In the morning mist, comes the uprising sun going above the tall mountains. Wanting to shine its rays to the extremity of the world. The air stays silent and the skies turn a bit gloomy. The living creatures stay tranquil like they have a feeling that something in nature will die out. They sense the pure evil energy upcoming around the wilderness, all scared and faint-hearted. Maybe one person, one man, can make a difference to harmony...

NOTE:(Zelda is not wearing a dress, but a fighting outfit.)

Link rushed out from Zelda's Castle and Zelda slowly followed from behind. Link looked up at the gloomy sky, the wind blowing his golden hair high to the sad crying winds. Zelda looked at him tenderly.

Sighs he worries.

"Link." Zelda said.

"Well, our journey starts today," Link turns his head to her. She nods confidently.

"Don't worry, you'll be fine."

"You mean we?"

Zelda paused then said, "yes, we."

"Okay let's get this over with. We have no time to lose."

Link dashes forward quickly heading to his left side to the bridge then up to the stairs to the village. Zelda followed his fast movements.

(I need to find this dreamseer quickly!) Link thought.

ANOTHER SETTING!

"Hehehehehe..." Shiva smirks at Zelda and Link from the crystal ball.

"Just as I planned." He grinned evilly.

Cera stood behind his brother looking down in disgrace.

"Muhahahaha!"

BACK TO REALITY! LOL.

Zelda and Link got up the stairs.

GASPS

Link looked at Kakariko Village, his eyes widened with fear and heard people screaming. The houses we're partly burned and the air was covered with ashes and smog. There were many bed lammed people. He saw other people helping each other to put out the fire and rescuing the wounded.

"What the hell is going on here!"

Link ran to the survivors. Zelda was surprised, she couldn't stop looking at the horror of the place. She put her hand over her mouth.

"Oh my god..." she was astonished.

One survivor called out, "please someone! Someone save my daughter from the fire! Help! Please!" She whimpered. Link stopped and hovered towards the scream. He could hear a girl screaming inside, "mommy!"

Link looked at the helpless house burn into ashes, falling slowly, dying to the ground. He tried to find a way in to find the girl. He broke into the window.

"Link be careful!" Zelda cried out.

Link felt the heat going to his skin, rushing all over his body. He pushed the wood carcasses.

Whimper. Whimper

The girl laid helplessly on the ground, the heavy wood trapped her body making her unable to move. Link ran towards her.

"Hey, are you okay?"

No response. She was unconscious from the heavy smoke. Link moved the warm wood away from her bruised body. He took her arms around his shoulder then took her legs by his hands. Link paused because the entrance was blocked. He ran back to the window, but the ceiling was coming down fast. He ran faster and faster. Then suddenly a block of burnt wood dropped slightly by his forehead to his right shoulder.

"Ah!" Link flinched quickly.

Zelda stood impatiently waiting for them to come out.

"Where are they?"

She looked deeply at the angry bright flames flickering back and forth.

CRASH

The house fell to the ground. She felt frightened.

(Oh no...Link...he's, he's...)

Zelda put her hand over her cheek.

"Link! Link! Li-" almost crying.

"I'm here..." Link quietly interrupted from the side. He held the little girl and stared at Zelda blankly. Zelda stood very still like a nonliving doll.

"My daughter!" the lady crowd out. She grabbed the girl from Link's shoulder. The lady cried helplessly, comforting her daughter, slowly calling her name.

"Don't worry she'll be alright," he said.

The lady looked at Link.

"Th-thank you, very very much." She bowed down her head. Link smiled weakly.

Cough,cough

"Mommy...?" the little girl said. The lady hugged her daughter and walked with the other survivors. Link stared at them until they were gone. He was so weak and tired from the rescue. He stared at Zelda like an incompetent creature looking for a home.

Cough, cough Link coughed weakly.

Zelda ran up to him.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" Zelda held out her hands by his face. Link's forehead was bleeding, going down by his eyes.

"You're hurt..." She tried to touch it, but Link pushed her hand away.

"It's nothing." He hesitated.

Zelda flinched slowly. She looked down. They both looked in opposite ways.

"Sorry."

"Link," Zelda looked up to him, "I...I-I thought...," one tear fell down from her eye, "I thought you were dead!" Zelda held Link tightly. Link was surprised, his eyes widened then comforted her by petting her soft long hair and smiled slowly.

Sniff

Zelda held his back tightly rubbing her teardrops to his warm chest, clutching tightly to his cloths.

"I-I don't want to risk losing you.."She shouted.

Link put his soft lips and nose against her fragrant hair that smelled like fresh bloomed flowers.

He closed his eyes and said, "It's okay, I'm here with you..."

Zelda looked at him. He slouched down very slowly, and tilted his face closely by Zelda's eyes still with ceased eyes. He held out his hand putting his thumb over her lower lip going down to her tiny chin and kissed her gradually close to the side of her nose and eyes. She paused, staring blankly at his lonely expression. She stopped crying for a moment. He could taste her sour shredded tears. The taste of loneliness and sorrow, needed to call out for love.

Frequently, the village was all burned down. Some people survived, some did not, but at least the nightmare was all over. Link and Zelda helped the hopeless survivors, sending them to the castle for shelter. The village was wrecked, almost like a monster had tore it down by one blow. The wood laid on the ground waiting to be thrown away. The area was still smoked with little specs of ashes, flying everywhere like crazy insects. Zelda and Link rest by the well, which was now all rubble.

"What a bizarre day." Link blurted.

"I know," Zelda sighed, "I wonder what caused all this?"

"I ask the same thing."

Zelda put a white thin cloth around Link's right arm.

"That's a deep gash you've got there." Zelda tightened the cloth twice.

"Ow."

"Sorry."

"It's okay. Anyway. We better get going to Goron City."

"Yes, but first we must ask questions."

Zelda left Link's side running to the last group of people that were about to leave the dead village. Link followed her. (What's Zelda up to?) He thought.

"Hello there!" Zelda yelled at the random person. The man turned around by the crowd.

"Ah, princess! What do you need?"

He asked.

"I just want to ask, what caused this terrible fire?"

Zelda put her index finger by her lips. Link was beside her, he started to lift an eyebrow and listened putting one hand on his waist.

"I heard that the object or something was inhuman, like a monster or something..." The man said.

"Monster?" Link shouted.

"Yeah. I head he had glowing scary eyes. He had like fire power or something. He wrecked houses one by one! Almost like an evil goddess!" The man screamed.

(That rings a bell.)

The man continued, "Ah, but I don't believe it. It must be their silly imaginations. I believed it was caused by the candles by one of the bans. I don't know if it's true though, its just rumors I just heard."

"That's enough said. Thank you." Link interrupted.

The man paused and stared at Link as a rude guy.

"Uh, okay." The man looked at Zelda. " Bye Princess and thanks for your shelter."

He bowed and Zelda smiles. The man walks away with the crowd.

Sighs with grief " I hope we can find a way to build their new homes soon.." Zelda felt sad. Then she changes the subject.

"So did it help?" She asked.

"Pretty much." Link put his index finger horizontally on his lips. "I know its Shiva's doing." He put his hand down. " He's trying to raise us to a trap, just by killing other people. He's up to something, I know it! That BASTARD!" Links anger rushed to his veins and his fist starts to shake.

"Calm down. How do you know it's him?" She said.

"Let's say I have a strong hunch. Why is he killing our people! It's me! It's me he wants, not them! And it's all my fault, I was too late..." Link looked down with disgrace. "Besides,

it's worse if I lose you!" He turned away.

"Link..." She said quietly.

Link starts whimpering. "You're part of me, and I won't change that...no one,no one can change that." He starts to face her.

Zelda held his bruised cheek, Link begins to hold her hand.

"Zelda all I wanted to say is...that...," Link starts to shudder nervously, " is that I-I love you." He smiled. "Every time I'm with you my heart beats faster, heh and sometimes even skips a beat..."

Zelda giggles. "I don't know what to say."

"You don't have to."

Zelda looked at his bluish eyes and made a quick peck on his lips. Zelda's heart was touched. She never felt this reaction before and never will forget it.

The sun was above them. The flying ashes stopped falling and left piles on the floor. They both started heading toward Goron City to defile Shiva's plans to ruins, but will they stop him? Or will they be defiled instead? Will their love last forever? Will the people in Hyrule be safe? STAY TUNED FOR CHAPTER 8!
