Well, for all of you few loyalists who patiently waited, here it is. I decided to take some advice and spend a little more time going into detail about things, and I'm really proud of this chapter, my longest yet, Yay! It took longer because of detail and and I told you last time that I didn't know how to start it, luckily a little thing called The Free Writer's Society helped me out, and you guessed it, I worked on it all day during school.


Chapter 5: Finally Some News

Gloomy, dark clouds hung over the castle. A young man stood before the towering monument. Rain began to strike and leave small marks on his clothes. The severity increased as a flash of lightning struck in the distance. A lone, dark figure stood at the doors. Link, stood terrified at what was before him. Suddenly a loud wale came from inside the castle. It stayed this way for some time, Link petrified, but no longer able to stand the sound of suffering from inside.

He reached for his sword only to realize it wasn't there. All of his weapons were gone! He however, could no longer stand the crying and rushed at the black figure, and past him and into the castle. Through all his effort he found himself outside a monstrous door. The crying continued. Link reached out for the handle as ground-shaking footsteps grew louder beside him. He turned as the black figure grabbed him by the neck and held him against the wall. A thunderous voice sounded in his face,

"You're not ready for this!"

"What are you talking about?" he stammered.

"You can't handle this!"

His fear and anger both began to rise and rise until, "Get the hell off me!"

Link awoke in a heavy sweat, again. His room was the same as he looked around, cold and empty. He had not been sleeping well these past few days, and his nightmares were getting worse. It had been so long since he'd seen Zelda, his heart seemed so empty, more so than his room. He just wanted to see her, to know that she was all right. He glanced over at Navi sleeping and a light bulb lit above his head.

"Navi!"

"What?" she yelled completely scared out of her mind.

"Navi, you can see to her! You can talk to her! Please go check on her!"

"Link"

"Navi, please, I really need this. Go!"

"Link!"

"What!"

"It's the middle of the night, everyone is asleep, including her."

He looked out his window and saw the pale moon in the middle of the bright stars. "Oh, ok, then go in the morning ok?"

"Fine Link, just let me sleep!"

"Okay"

He watched as Navi dozed off almost instantly. He truly wished he could sleep as peacefully as she could, but he was just so sidetracked and nervous. He sat on the roof sharpening his blade. He knew he wouldn't get back to sleep, he never did. So he had to do something to pass the time until dawn when he could send Navi out and finally hear some news.

The morning sun cracked over the horizon and the princess was in the bathroom. (I won't go into details, but she wasn't happy) As she came out, the light peeking through her window was impossible to ignore. She opened it for some much-needed fresh air. She could smell the plethora of wild flowers planted in the garden below, their sweet scent almost her mind drift from the rut it was in, almost. The sound of chirping drew her attention to a tall tree a good distance away. She watched as a mother Blue Jay looked over her nest of hatchlings begging for food. This did bring a rare smile to her face as she placed a silky gloved hand over her stomach. The warm feeling inside her she could feel begin to grow, the happiness that she would hope would come from it.

She turned her back and began towards her dresser as, "Zelda!" a small irritating voice rang from outside. A small speck of light breezed through the window.

Zelda looked back over her shoulder, and grew a humongous smile. "Navi, oh my goddesses, I'm so happy to see you!"

"Zelda, its good to see you too. Link knew that he couldn't talk to you in person, so he sent me."

Her smile faded a little, "Oh, he is doing well isn't he?"

"I guess, but he just seems to be getting worse. He has less energy everyday, he's having terrible nightmares every night, he misses you so much!"

"I know, I miss him so much too, there are so many things I want to tell him" she said putting her hand over the newly discovered warm spot herself.

"I think as long as you're okay, he might perk up a bit."

"Yes, I suppose he would."

"By the way, just how serious is this matter with the king do you think?"

"Oh... I think its pretty serious, and just recently its gotten worse with him."

"What do you mean?"

She turned away from her, "Navi, I want you to leave and tell Link two things."

"Oh... okay."

"First tell him I love him... and second... I'm... pregnant."

"What!"

"Navi, go!"

"R-right", she sped off out the window, not seeing the tears begin to fall from Zelda's eyes.

Link sat alone in his room, staring off into space, 'When's she going to be back? If something happened to Zelda, I don't know what...'

"Link!" the tiny ball of light with wings zipped through his window.

"Navi! What's the news with Zelda?"

"Well Link… she's doing really well."

"Oh, that's great." Navi could see a smile grow across his face, and almost see as if a weight was lifted off his shoulders.

"Link, she also told me to tell you two things."

"What?"

"Well, first she loves you," the smile on his face grew bigger and almost blushed. "Second… she's… pregnant."

THUD (Link fainted)

"Link, Link wake up!"

About half an hour passed and he finally came to. "Oh, my head." he groaned.

"You did hit it pretty hard when you fainted Link." He looked right to see Saria with Navi over her. He then realized that he was in bed.

"How'd I get here."

Saria stood over him and said "Two of my friends helped after we heard Navi screaming."

"Oh, sorry about that. Navi is what you said true?"

"Yes Link."

He sat up and put his face in his hands, "Oh goddesses, what am I…"

"Hey you can't come in here!" a voice sounded from outside. Link got up and peered outside to see the problem. Then he saw a dozen royal guards in front of Mido.

"Let us through child!"

"What makes you think that you can just walk in here, demand what you want and call me a child! I'm older than all of you guys put together!"

"Our business isn't with you, it's with Link."

"What do you want?" Link yelled from his home. The guards pushed passed Mido and made their way to him.

"Link, you are here by demanded to come to the castle and speak to the king."

Link jumped down in front of them. "Fine"

Saria looked down concerned, "But Link…"

"No Saria! I want to talk to him." Link made his way out of the forest surrounded by guards as all the inhabitants watched them disappear.


There you have it. And once again, I'm not exactly sure how to start the next chapter, but if you've had faith in me this far, please continue, as well as read and review.
