River Dragon: Hello everyone! The next chapter is up! It was very difficult for me to work on this one, Christmas and many birthdays coming and already here...groans... so much to do so little time! Speaking of birthdays! In just four days it will be River Dragon's birthday! wow! yaayyyyy! Well to explain my absence other then gifts and parties, I've had to be on fictionpress for a bit, yelling at some people for crappy reviews. Not ONCE did I get a decent review, all of it was spelling mistakes and grammer... god that's irritating. You can imagine how much of that i get... I have three stories up. What's even worse is that I've been in fictionpress since the beginning of the year and i've only got a total of about ten reviews out of all three of my stories... yet here where i am welcomed with open arms i have 17 WONDEROUS REVIEWS! and many loyal fans! I feel so wanted here (hearts fly above head while hugging everyone on fanfiction) Anyway, enough of my rambling and back to reality. ENJOY CHAPTER 6!
I forgot to mention, I dont own Legend of zelda in anyway!
Chapter 6
Rain was beginning to fall as Link leapt onto the high wall of Hyrule Castle. He ran swiftly along the top, looking around occasionally to see if there were any onlookers.
He crouched down and jumped into a large tree next to a window lit by candle light. The tree shook slightly and creaked under the sudden added weight on its limbs.
Link froze when a figure appeared in the window, staying as silent and still as possible. The window opened slightly to reveal a familiar face and Link smiled.
His legs tensed as they readied to launch him from the tree but they did not move,
He longed to jump onto her windowsill but his mind kept replaying Malon's words over and over, making him stall and his heart ache.
"You could get Zelda in even more trouble. Or you could get caught and Zelda would get in even more trouble."
Malon's voice rang through his mind and he sighed.
'Maybe it'll be fine.' He said to himself, preparing to jump when another person appeared in Zelda's window and quickly shut it. With a sigh, Link turned and leapt from the tree, back onto the wall and to where Epona waited for him.
"Father, I need to ask you about something." Malon said, pulling her father into the room upstairs.
As he sat down, Malon paced the room, thinking of the perfect way to tell him what was wrong but make it sound as if it was someone else.
Talon watched in concern as his daughter walked the room, her expression hard with the thoughts that were undoubtedly rushing through her head.
She stopped and sat on one of the small chairs next to the table.
"A couple of friends of mine are having a small romance trouble. You see, uh, Rose and, uh, Sandy has a crush on the same guy and whenever Rose is around him Sandy gets really mad and wants to get rid of Rose. But since Sandy is Rose's best friend, she doesn't want to hurt Rose's feelings. It's kind of confusing but what do you think Sandy should do?" Malon blurted out, gasping for breath at the end.
Talon blinked a couple times and sighed.
"It sounds as if your friends are jealous. Jealousy can breed bad things. Your friends might even end up hating each other after all this." Talon shook his head, wondering what he should say to help his daughter. Unfortunately he had little experience in such things.
"Jealous?" Malon squeeked.
"This is about you, Zelda and Link, isn't it?" Talon asked, scratching his head in thought. Malon's eyes widened and her face turned pink.
"How? How did you know?" Malon asked, her face turning red. Talon looked up with a small smile. "I put two and two together. I saw you guys talking the other day and saw some of this coming.
"Believe it or not Malon, but I used to live in Gerudo Valley about a year before you were born. I only stayed there for about three years but I learned a lot. I found that Gerudo males are good at telling a female's feelings because they grew up around women all their lives." He said, half to himself.
Malon calmed down slightly and listened carefully.
"Sorry to say this but, Link may even know that you and Zelda like him." He winced as his daughter rose and stomped her foot on the ground. "So he was playing us! That bastard!" She screamed. Talon stopped Malon before she broke a hole in the floor and continued.
"But he may not have realized it; Link is still young and inexperienced in love no doubt. The only way you can resolve this before it gets out of hand is to talk to Zelda and Link. But I think you should talk to them separately." Talon added.
Malon looked down at her feet in embarrassment and nodded. Tomorrow she would set out to see Zelda.
Waaah end of chapter six! fear not though, seeing as winter break is coming soon, i'll have more time to write up more chapters! So hold onto your horses and keep waiting ever so patiently for me! I shall not let you down!
