Nightmares. It's like nightmares. I can't tell what it is. It horrible. I want to hear you Princess, why won't you let me hear you. I wish to hear your voice.
"Link, I can't…" what? Did you speak, what do you mean you can't you can't what? No don't turn now don't look at me. What is this, the rose, that red rose. It can't be no don't Zelda. Please don't discard that rose.
"AAAHHHHHHHH!" I woke with a scream. Talon came into the barn to see what was the matter. I told him it was a nightmare and he left back for some shut eye.
I decided to get out and breath in some fresh air. It should do me good. Malon seemed happier then ever. She right now didn't now I was in the barn I made a deal with Talon to keep it low. I came up behind her and covered her eyes. Before I could say "Guess who" she kick me hard in my pride and turned. When she saw who I was she gasped and helped me up.
"Hey………..Malon" I got out. She shushed me and rested me up to fence near the horses.
"What are you doing here fairy boy" she said. I tried to explain but I wasn't able to get a word out from the pain. She was going to apply some medical cream to ease it but I quickly declined. I said I'd walk it off, she didn't know why I wouldn't but she put it away.
We walked the fields and I was soon able to stand straight. I turned and looked at her.
"Where'd you learn to kick like that?"
She smile and looked at me. "Well ever since I had a dream of Ingo taking over the ranch I decided to learn to defend myself"
"But why learn to do that if he never hurt you"
She looked down to the ground at that question, looks like there was more to his story then mistreating horses. The despicable Ingo, how dare he do such a thing to this women. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-"
"It's okay" she cut me off. "Every time I feel like I am in trouble I think of you Link" she does know my name. "Your like a brother to me, and that is more then I wanted, father keeps trying to push marriage onto me but I think me and you are good as friends together. If you ever find your self bored in the future come here and you can help me with the horses"
This was kinda deep, it's like she almost wants me to come out and say how I feel. "That will be fine" I said, not sounding like I was hurt emotionally and not like I wanted this, it was kinda neutral.
I told her I had an errand to run at Gerudo, and so I had to leave. I came back to Naruya and told her how much I know of the dream. She told me that I am struggling to get an answer from her inside myself. I should continue exploring women's feelings and try to be more sensitive. So I have part of my journey done, but how many other women in the world are there. No way am I gonna ask Ruto, arrgh, but she is the only one that would know the royals proposal stuff, can't win for trying. Who else. There's Impa, Anju, Nabooru I guess, Navi maybe. Well I trust Anju's opinion, she is married after all. I'll start with her.
It was night by the time I got to kakoriko Village. She was always by the coup for the chickens so I knew I'd still be able to get a word in. but it all wasn't fun when I got there, sound like a big fight. I rushed into the town to she Anju thrown out of her house, all her stuff to. She was in tears, I didn't know much else to do. I came up to her and gave her a hug.
"What happened? Why'd he do this?"
"Oh (sob, sniff) it's you young boy. (sob) He (sniff) he was cheating on me" the last words broke her into tears more. I knew prying wasn't gonna help but now I know what I should do to comfort her.
I helped her to a sitting position and then started to rub her back. I had her squeeze my hand for stress relief and she used my tunic as tissue, I didn't offer that but I let it slide.
"Please don't cry Anju, this is not like you. If he cheated on you, you deserve better then him"
"But he cheated cause I cared to much for the cuckoos" she broke up yet again into tears. Man I need to really improve my skills.
"There, there. Listen I know your with out a place to stay now, and you care for the cuckoo's too, so what if I offer you my place to live for a awhile, I have friends there that can help you with the cuckoo's and my place is fairly nice"
"Really" her tears seemed to stop for a moment. "Oh thank you boy, you'd really do this for me"
"You helped me on my adventure more then I thought you would, it's the least I could do"
"Adventure? Oh you must have been playing a game with the cuckoo's with friends"
oh right, stupid me. "Yeah I was, I'll contact a friend and see if we can make arrangements"
I played Saria's Song and tried to speak with her. Every time I played though she seemed o not answer, I thought this song was able to give me access to talk with her whenever and where ever. I tried once more and then she finally picked up, well answered.
"What?" she seemed angered, but I hope it was only from my repeating calls.
"Saria listen I know I may have hurt you with my words but I need your help more then anything now"
"You didn't hurt me Link, we…are friends, friends forever. What is it you need?"
"Anju, a women I had meet on my travels, has just been thrown out of he house, she has no lace to go and I was wondering if you may ask the Deku Tree to let her stay at my place for a bit, I know humans aren't allowed in there but she is a good person, ask him to reconsider"
"I will try, thank you link" and that was it.
I turned around to see Anju staring at me, it seemed weird at first but then I think it wasn't the look I first thought it was. It was a look of love, but a mother for a child like love. She picked me up and hugged me, she set me down on the ground and then handed me a candy. Now normally I would be offended by this but she was hurt I took the candy and pocketed it. Might come in handy later.
"Link" Saria's voice called from my pocket.
"Yeah what is it Saria? Can she come?"
"Deku tree said she may but for no more then three double moons" (two months I say that is)
"Great" the message left and I looked at Anju. "I'll grab the cuckoos and you head to the entrance I'll walk you to the forest"
"Thank you Link, may I call you son?"
this was sudden and abrupt. I turned and looked a her. "Mother" I cried as I ran to her and hugged her tightly. I think I finally am starting to get a family. Anju as my mother, Malon as my sister. Now all I want is daddy…
