Chapter 12
Losing Hope
Link re-exited the temple feeling like a total idiot. The fact that Dark Link had the power piece, which had kept Ganondorf alive, should have caused something to click in his brain…but apparently it hadn't, at least not until it was too late…
Alexis smiled weakly at him as he came up beside her. "What were you doing?"
"Nothing, just don't worry about it."
She slyly slipped her hand into his, he seemed too upset over something to even bother to notice, or she thought hopefully, he was perfectly ok with it…
'Hand in hand' they made their way through the destroyed market. Those still alive and fit began trying to do something of use.
"Shouldn't we help?" Alexis asked in a whispered tone.
"What can we do? Move boulders? What's underneath this mess is more than likely dead. There's nothing we can do that would help in anyway. Those very few who have still held up the job of protecting the town since the last of the royal blood died will come soon so they can take care of it. Besides, we need to save Chunk before anything happens to him." Link spoke quietly.
"Do you think he's still alive?" Alexis whimpered.
Link bit his lip thoughtfully, but then decided he didn't want to lie to her, "There's a chance he may not be…"
Tears welled up in Alexis' eyes and she buried her face in his shoulder crying. "At least we know he should be at the castle…That's where me and him were held captive before…" That was when Link noticed they were holding hands.
When did that happen?
He sighed, he didn't want to pull away as…maybe she had done it for…support? When she stopped crying, he took the opportunity and pulled his hand from hers.
A hurt look crossed her eyes as he did this and he felt a pang of guilt tug at his heart. Why had he admitted his feelings for her? Now she would only keep trying to get closer to him. He had made a promise to himself after Zelda died to never love again and now that was already out the window…Alexis would never let him off if he were to tell her straight out no…In fact last time he had tried that, she had made him kiss her and all that crap…She'd probably do that again and just make things worse…
Alexis was caught up in her own thoughts at that exact moment as well…
Why does he do this? He even confessed his love for me! Why oh why must he be so stubborn! Maybe she should just give him that line again that she had back in the forest? Do the whole love scene over again? Or was he mad at her for the whole Dark Link thing? Wait a sec…Did he ever get that funky blue thing back?...
Before either of the two realized it, they were at the castle gates. They eventually found this out when they crashed right into the thick iron bars of the gate…
