Chapter Two
As Link burst through the gates of Hyrule castle, all seemed to turn around and stare. Link ran past the guards and was just about to grab the handle to the castle, when it opened in front of his face, his blue eyes meeting sorrowful pale sapphire ones.
He embraced the sunlight haired woman in a hug, and she seemed to melt in his arms, his big strong hands, fingering hers. Chemistry.
"Zelda, what's wrong?" She drew away stiffly as they both heard foot steps behind her.
"Link! I'm afraid my wife and I have a problem that we need you to address..." Apal, Prince of Yashakia came up behind Zelda and took her shoulders. Zelda flinched from his touch.
"Link..." She said in her melodic voice. "Come inside and we'll have some tea, it's been a while since we have seen each other..." Apal looked at her strangely and allowed Link to pass into their castle.
"Zelda, what is this about?" Link asked her, not touching his tea or cookies. Zelda looked up with glassy eyes and did not answer. Apal looked at her and his head drooped.
"Our son... It's our year old son..." Zelda gave him a sharp look.
"He's nine months actually." Apal blushed.
"'Course. Of course!" Apal blurted. Zelda looked at him blankly.
"Apal, could you please..." Suddenly Impa appeared at the arch of the doorway.
"My Lord, please, don't let me disturb, but, one of your subjects has asked to see you."
"Of course. Please excuse me..." He leaned in for a kiss but only got peck on the cheek from his wife. Zelda's eyes flashed and as soon as the door closed she leaned close to Link, seeing his charming face once more up close and personal. How she longed...
"Link." Shoving the thoughts out she took his hands. "There is something I need to tell you. I have needed to tell you for nine months... Please, I beg of your forgiveness. I didn't know what to do... My father had fixed me up with Apal, I could not tell him I had-"
"Zelda! Explain this to me again.... Slower!" Link gave her a tiny smile and grabbed her hand...
Zelda gave him a watery eyed stare.
"Received..." Link was silent, uncomprehending.
"Received what?" He smiled. And Zelda opened her mouth the beautiful memories coming back...
FLASHBACK
The day was dark and gloomy. Rain was pouring down in buckets from the turbulent sky. These conditions made no difference the night before, but as the morning dawned all Zelda could do was burry her head deeper into her boyfriend's arms.
As Zelda gave her guy a wakeup kiss, he gave a little moan, and turned over into her lap. She knew he felt the same emotions all through the night.
She didn't want to be the one to spoil his sleep but she needed to leave for the castle before her father would notice she was gone.
She sighed and shook the sweet looking thing on her lap awake.
"Get up Link," Zelda said with a tiny laugh.
He just turned face up on her lap and gave her his puppy dog stare with his beautiful blue eyes. She couldn't help but smile. She leaned over and gave him a kiss on the forehead. He grinned back and tried to pull her down on the bed again.
Zelda gave in willingly, and then he was on top of me with a sweet kiss. As much as she didn't want to end it, she gave him one more peck on the lips, and then slid out from underneath him.
"My father will burn the village down if I'm not at the castle..." Zelda said searching for her slip. "I don't think he will fancy seeing me like this..." Link gave her an innocent smile, and grabbed her hips to pull her down gently into his lap.
"Zelda," He said playing with her long blond hair. "You are twenty. You should be able to make your own decisions..."
"Link! I'm the Princess of Hyrule... I have a responsibility and a reputation I must keep."
Link looked a bit taken aback at that statement. She thought she saw a bit of... almost hurt flicker in his azure eyes.
"Link..." He picked her up and set her on the floor gently, then stood up, and started rummaging around for his tunic. Zelda suddenly realized what that must have sounded like. "I have a reputation to keep, and I can't let people know I just made love with you."
"Hey, Link!" He looked around at her, his tunic in hand.
"Yes?"
Seeing him this way nearly killed her. "That's not what I meant, not at all," She began clumsily.
He started pulling on his tunic. "Ok," he said. "It's all right Zelda; I know what kind of relationship this cannot be." He looked up and smiled weakly, still pulling on his tunic. Or trying to. Looking down, he saw that what he had up looked a little too tight. Then he looked at the slip Zelda had on, just as she looked down.
They both came to the realization at the exact same moment, and burst out laughing, collapsing on the bed. Tears were running down Zelda's face, not just because it was so funny seeing Link putting on Zelda's skirt, but also because all the tension she had been feeling was released.
She grabbed Link and hugged him tight around the middle. He put his arms around her and kissed the top of her head. They stayed like that in silence for a minute. Then Link said softly,
"Zelda, do you love me?"
"You know I do Link," She said, snuggling into his chest.
"No... I don't Zelda." He said, softly pulling her away so he could look directly in her eyes. "Do you really?"
She simply looked at him, from his muscular body, to his perfect lips, to his blond hair, and again to his eyes. She felt a pang in her heart and almost reluctance, a worry, a pain.
She knew she was forbidden to love this man... But... she did.
END FLASHBACK
Zelda looked up at Link, her eyes glassy, wishing she could show him what she had just seen. As she opened her mouth, the doors clanged against the wall, and Apal came in with his booming voice.
"So sorry! Now, where were we?" Apal stopped, seeing Link and Zelda's faces, their hands clenched to each other as if the could not let go. He stared.
Zelda's hand slipped away.
"Yes, the matter is our son Garret... It seems he was kidnapped..." Apal put his hand on Zelda's shoulder comfortingly.
Link nodding knowing the question of the matter. 'Would he go save him and capture the thief?'
"Any suspects? Any possible places to start?"
"None... Except this... trail of blood... It leads off faintly through Lake Hylia... Maybe it is a water demon..." Apal rubbed his goatee.
"Right. Well, I'd best be off, we don't want him to get any further, do we?" Link stood.
"Link... It isn't going to be that easy... We had guards, many guards keeping watch of Garret, our best, to ensure his safety."
Link's stomach lurched.
"All of them slaughtered. The maid tending to his cradle was massacred." Apal shook his head.
"Apal and I were at a meeting with the sages. Something, or someone, knew that. They're very sly... I just, I just want you to be careful is all..." Zelda reached for his hand again. Link took her hand and shook it, taking Apal's too.
"I will find your son and return him to you, I promise-"
"It will be too dangerous... That is why I will be coming with you." Apal grinned and Link's head whipped to Zelda.
