Just Tell Her Vincent

Zelda walked down those stairs down to the dining room. Link was still asleep in their bed but Zelda had enough rest. She pushed open the grand doors and stepped into the room filled with aromas of delectable foods. Zelda then noticed her father at the head of the long table along with the familiar redhead behind a newspaper on the King's right.

"Good morning daddy." Zelda said as she took a seat opposite of Vincent and the King's left.

"Good morning dear." The King said joyfully. "Link is still asleep?"

"Yes daddy, he must be extremely tired to sleep this long. What about you Vincent?"

"Just great." Vincent said gruffly. "How are you today Princess?"

"I'm alright. So did you two talk about anything?"

"Well, this young man seems quite informed about the things within the outer reaches of the kingdom. It was quite a shock to see him sitting here reading the paper, but then everything became clear when he said he was the one who helped Link rescue you and another girl." The King said.

"I though I ought to know the King more personally if I knew his daughter and tell him that he's doing a good job." Vincent said.

The King stood up from the table and stretched out a bit. "Have to start doing royal business. See you later dear. Pleased to meet you Vincent."

"Nice to meet you too." Vincent said.

The King walked out of the room on his way toward the throne room.

"Something's the matter Vincent? Your more…active most of the time." Zelda said looking straight at the paper, which blocked Vincent from her view.

"Nothings the matter."

"Vincent, why can't you act more friendly with me? Your one of Link's closest friends, you seem to be Malon's new love interest yet you don't want to open up to me."

"Are you so sure I'm Malon's man?"

"What are you talking about Vincent? I'm absolutely sure that you are…"

"She is getting married to a noble." Vincent interrupted. "Sure you know him, you being royalty. Lord Maxi is his name I believe."

"Lord Maxi? She is marrying him? I mean, he is quite good looking and sure he is rich…" She looked as Vincent put down his paper to look at her. "You know what Vincent, you are now on a time limit."

"To do what?"

"Vincent, your as thick as Link. Just tell her Vincent. Tell her how you feel about her."

"Tell me, what do I feel about her, since you seem to know so much about what's happening between me and her." Vincent said.

"Uhh, well…dammit Vincent, you are impossible."

He gave a smirk.

"I have no idea why Malon cares for you so much."

Vincent gave a hollow chuckle and got up from his chair, the paper under his arm. "I'll see you later Princess, tell Link I stopped by."

He turned around and gave a farewell wave and started for the doors.

"Vincent wait!" Zelda yelled out.

He stopped.

"You will go to talk to her right? If what your telling me is true then you should."

Vincent sighed. "I will…just not now. Take care Zelda." He opened the doors and exited the room.

Zelda picked away at the food she chose. "Love conquers all right? Cant he be like Link and just say what he has to say?"

Malon strapped the feedbags to the horses absent-mindedly. A lot of things happened just in the morning and her mind still was trying to sort it through.

"What's the matter Malon?" Her father said, noticing her deep in thoughts.

"Daddy, how did you know the mom was the one you wanted to marry?" Malon asked.

"Well…Malon with me it was love at first sight. Together, we made each other happy and well, it's something that is really hard to explain. You just know when you met the right person that that is who you want to spend your life with."

"Oh…"

"Listen, only you know that you made the right decision. Maxi is a good person to come see you from the south. Just remember everyone else in your life from before when you marry him."

"What do you think of Maxi?"

"Nothing against him. Personally, I think you could've chosen another man more suitable to be your husband. I was hoping for someone you know."

"What did you think of Vincent, the red headed man that comes almost everyday, the one who saved me along with Link."

"A friend of Link's is someone always worth meeting. I know who he is Malon. He was a little to rash in rushing off to danger but so was Link. Can't deny that he was a nice young man."

"I should start closing before it get to dark."

Malon locked the stable doors and sure enough, the sun was going down. The bright stars started showing themselves and the white moon was on its way up.

Malon had a lot of mixed emotions within her. She decided to sing, like she used to do. She rarely sang but that night she wanted to. She walked out into the middle of the coral and looked up at the stars. She started singing with her harmonious voice. She was always told her voice could match the voice of a siren.

She lost track of time as she sang, but something interrupted her. She heard clapping and turned around who was it that was praising her.

There in the moonlight was that red head Vincent. She wanted to do so many things to him at once. Malon wanted to strangle him till he turned blue but she also wanted to give him a tight hug. Through the darkness, she saw him smile at her. It was one of the most comforting things she had ever seen, his smile.

Silver waited patiently at his feet. Vincent scratched his head and started walking towards Malon. Silver trotted along side him. Unbeknownst to him, Silver was the one who stabilized the rocky friendship when it started and somehow managed to keep it going.

"It is true that you sing…" Vincent searched for a word.

"I know, a siren." Malon said.

"No, sirens sing beautifully, yes, but they are also hideous creatures. No, you sing like an angel." Vincent said, finally finding the right word.

"No one has ever said that." Malon said with her face reddening.

"Not many come so close to one." He gave another smile. Gentle, calming, just like the last one.

Malon couldn't understand what was happening. That same day Vincent acted so cold to her yet in a few minutes became the man she knew before. Now here, in the darkest hour, he was more charming than ever.

"I thought I stop by, just to see how everything was."

"Everything is fine." Malon said, looking up at his scarlet red eyes. "Thank you for asking. Vincent…promise me that you will come to my wedding."

Vincent's eyes saddened a little bit. "I'll come, promise. Not even the Goddesses themselves could stop me."

Following her instinct, Malon embraced him. Vincent was caught by surprise but then wrapped his arms around her.

"We are still going to be friends, right Vincent?" Malon said as she let go of him.

"Well, really isn't possible for us. Don't get this the wrong way, I do still want to be friends, but it's Maxi that might stop us from us doing so."

"Why would you say that?"

"Maxi is a noble, only natural that he take you away to his home. You didn't really think he was going to leave his ride here? Your smarter that that Malon."

"I know he was…just, maybe, I hoped he wouldn't."

"I'll miss you Malon, I really will. I just hope he makes all of your dreams come true and make you happy." Vincent said softly.

"I wont let him take me away. I don't want to leave here. If he wants me so much he has to stay here with me." Malon said.

Vincent smiled once again. "It's getting late, I should be going Malon."

"Ok, take care Vincent."

He turned around and started for the exit. Once outside of the ranch, he caught a glimpse of Maxi's carriage as he was walking the dirt path. He didn't feel to proud himself when he left Malon. Vincent let out a sigh and looked up at the stars and continued his way home.

Inside the carriage, Maxi had an eye on Vincent since he set foot in the ranch.

"I don't want him near Malon anymore. I want him gone." He said.

And there we go. Yes, finally an even 10 chapters! Actually I didn't think my story would actually end up being this long so its kind of cool. If you stuck with me this far, I thank you because without you, the reader, stories would never be appreciated. Still some story left so keep on reading.
