Disclaimer : I don't own any of the Zelda characters , only Zaila and Tairo .

Heart Break

Zaila broke the surface of the murky water outside the Water Temple . She staggered up to the shore and over to Tairo she coughed and spat out the filthy water which she had swallowed . She took off the blue water tunic and stuffed it carelessly into her bag . She chocked back a sob and was about to climb onto Tairo when Link grabbed her wrist .

She spun around .

"Fuck off Blondie ! Get away from me !"

"Zaila what the Hell is your problem ?!" He yelled , getting angry .

The white haired girl pointed a quivering finger towards the Temple entrance .

"SHE is my problem , that stuck up tart of a Zora , who just happens to be YOUR fiancée !!!"

~~Flashback~~

Zaila and Link dismounted from their horses and Zaila looked disgustedly at the water .

"You have GOT to be kidding , I'm not going in there !"

"Oh don't be so pathetic , its just water . Besides ," said Link as he reached into his bag .

"with this , you'll be fine !" He said thrusting a blue tunic into her hands , as he pulled one on over his head too .

"How is some blue cloth going to help ?" She asked .

"Its made by the Zoras seven years ago , I was given them by the Zora king , they allow you to breathe under water ."

She snorted . "Yeah right ."

Link rolled his eyes . "Cummon ." He said , and dived into the dirty water . Zaila pulled on her tunic and dived in after him .

When they entered the Temple , the murky water became a beautiful clear blue , clean and fresh . Suddenly she realised she was running out of breath , she glanced over at Link and saw him breathing easily with the tunic .

She guessed there was only one way to find out if it worked . She opened her mouth and breathed in the water , she was amazed , it was just like breathing air , incredible . She grinned under water and swept her sheet of white hair out of her face , this was great .

She followed Link as he swam down , deep into the depths of the temple , avoiding the different types of monsters that lurked in the deep . as they landed on the sandy bottom Zaila and Link looked around and saw different passages leading off to Goddess knows where .

They silently decided to take the closest one , as they swam along the underwater corridor Zaila started to wonder what sort of monsters this temple held .

At that moment , they rounded a corner , and Link stopped so suddenly that Zaila swam into him .

"Ow ! Hey , watch where your going Blondie !" She grumbled , "Hey , Link did you hear what I said ...." Then she saw what it was that he was looking at .

Before them stood a beautiful creature , her creamy-blue tinted skin seemed to shimmer under water ,and graceful flippers grew from her arms and legs , her deep blue eyes looked at the two , and focused on Link .

"L-Link , is that really you ?" She breathed .

When she saw him nod her face broke into a smile .

"Oh Link , you came back ! I knew you would , I'll never forget the things we promised each other seven years ago . I knew you wouldn't leave me , not me , the woman you love ."

Zaila's mouth fell open .

"Link , what does she mean ?" She whispered . Link gulped .

"Look Ruto , I don't think you . ...."

But the Zora Princess carried on .

"Our love is too strong to be broken by time Link , I waited , and you came back to me , seven years is a long time to keep your fiancée waiting Link , but I don't mind . But now isn't the right time to talk of our undying Love ...."

"BASTARD !" Yelled Zaila .

"Link , who is SHE ?" Asked Ruto .

If Zaila hadn't been under water you would have been able to see the tears that were falling from her eyes . She turned around and swam away , her heart shattered into hundreds of pieces .

Link was a heartless Bastard , her feelings for him obviously meant nothing to him , all he cared about was how many girls he could score with . When she had first met him , she had hated him , she had set up a barrier between them , but him , with his kindness and gentleness had slowly broken that barrier . She had given her soul to him , and he had seemingly accepted it , but now ...... It had been thrown back in her face .

Zaila decided that she would never again let anyone in , never let anyone break that barrier , because all they would do is reject her as he had . She closed her broken soul away and retreated into a darkness that swelled within her .

Zaila broke the surface of the murky water outside the Water Temple . She staggered up to the shore and over to Tairo she coughed and spat out the filthy water which she had swallowed . She took off the blue water tunic and stuffed it carelessly into her bag . She chocked back a sob and was about to climb onto Tairo when Link grabbed her wrist .

She spun around .

"Fuck off Blondie ! Get away from me !"

"Zaila what the Hell is your problem ?!" He yelled , getting angry .

The white haired girl pointed a quivering finger towards the Temple entrance .

"SHE is my problem , that stuck up tart of a Zora , who just happens to be YOUR fiancée !!!"

"Zaila , you've got it all wrong , I ...."

"I said , Fuck off ! Leave me along , I hate you , and I never want to see you again . Don't you DARE try and follow me , I want nothing to do with you !"

"Zaila , please , let me explain ...."

"NO ! I HATE YOU LINK !"

Those words hit him like a plank hitting a piece of rotten fruit , she said them with such loathing and force . How could she go from loving him to hating him in a few short seconds ? His grip loosened , and his eyes widened as he realised , she really did hate him .

Zaila spat at his feet , pulled her wrist free and swung up on to Tairo , she dug her heels into his sides and galloped away from the dreary lake , leaving Link standing knee deep in cold , muddy water .

Link watched her go , he couldn't believe it , didn't she realise that it was HER he loved , not Ruto ? His whole body felt numb , and he fell to his knees , his head lowered . It started to rain , at first it was just a light drizzle , but then it turned to a full on down pour , drenching him to the skin . He shivered , not just from the cold .

He turned to face the Water Temple . He had to go on , he had a duty , he was A Hero Of Time . A hero . He sighed , no matter what , he had to carry on , he had to save Hyrule from Ganondorf .

Zaila rode out and away from Lake Hylia , turned Tairo North , she knew what she was going to do . She had no ties to Link , she had never wanted to become a Hero of Time , blood was thicker than water . Her father was waiting for her .

Wild-Roze : heh heh heh , evil ain't I ? MWHAAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAAHAHHAH!!! I told you they would have a fight , I've always found Ruto annoying . But is Zaila really going to go and join her ole daddy ? Surely she isn't going to stoop so low , surely she isn't Evil , I mean she IS a hero of time after all , does that count for ANYTHING ???? I guess ur gonna have to wait and c !!!! P.s. I luv FT !!!!::Blush::
