The next day wasn't exactly the best day of my life.

I had just finished all my chores and was expecting to enjoy the rest of the day in Hyrule Castle Town, when a carriage pulled up. The man operating it pulled on the horse's reins, and, to my surprise, Link stepped out wearing a white tunic. He said something to the man, and he reluctantly galloped off in the direction of Hyrule Castle.

"Hey Mal," Link said as he walked up to the ranch.

I raised an eyebrow at him, and he told me "Don't worry, I'll explain."

We walked out to the horse pen, and we sat down against it. We were silent for a few minutes, and then, seemingly out of nowhere, he said, "Zelda asked me to marry her yesterday."

At first, I thought he was joking. But when he was silent, I asked him what he said, praying with all my heart he declined.

He didn't. He said yes.

It was as if my entire world came crashing down. I always dreamed I would meet my knight in shining armor and he would sweep me off my feet…but now…

I put on a falsely happy voice and said, "Wow! That's wonderful, Link!"

Link grinned at me and looked back at the sun. "I was surprised she even asked me…I always…loved her, but I never thought she would share my feelings…I guess," he grinned at me again, "I'm irresistible."

I rolled my eyes, but I still felt like there was a cold stone nested on my heart.

"Well," he said as he stood up with a sigh, I just came to give you the good news. I'll come by tomorrow to give you the date and stuff."

I nodded, unable to speak because of the lump in my throat. As I watched he walk back to the castle, I walked into my room, feeling like I was floating. This can't be happening…

I had no reason to live, no reason to exist…I couldn't possibly tell Link my feelings now…but…

I took out a pen and some paper. Link would know of my feelings, but I would be long gone by the time he realized it…

A/N sorry bout the short chapter…but seeing as the next update will be the last, I didn't want to post the rest of the story in one sitting. The reason the story will be so short, is because it is my first. Don't worry, my next project will basically be a lengthy novel D
