"Ow! Stop! What is going on?!"

-Slam-

"Do you love Link?"

"WHO THE HELL IS LINK?!" I yell out. What? Who is this man? Who is Link? Why is he asking me if I love him? I don't... I don't know anyone named Link.

The man lets me go and I fall forward on the ground.

"Really?" The man smiles deviously, "That's great. I'll see you later... slave."

Link's POV

I follow after the guard down the long hallway to where Zelda is. I smile when I think her name. Oh Zelda. My chest hurts and I stop walking. Ow.. Why? Is it.. because I just left Dark? Well, he's a good friend. Anyone would feel sad when you loose a friend. But this was going to happen anyone wasn't it ? I mean.. back at the Water Temple he told me after my quest he'll leave me alone...

The guard stops and turns around. He lets out a grunt and motions me forward. I jump and let out a small apology as I run up to him and we continue our walk. Why do I feel weird. Probably because our final goodbye was a fight. He almost kissed me out there... why didn't I stop him? We were about to kiss and I didn't even panic. Until I saw the guard of course. Rumors and gossip spread like wild fire in Castle Town.

I watch the guards feet in front of me and listen to the soft clank I hear from his metal boots. That must be uncomfortable... Wearing so much armor. Will I have to wear that when I become Zelda's guard? Do I even want to be her guard..

I can't stop thinking of Dark... Is he alright? He ran into the forest. Is he waiting somewhere for me? I should go find him... we can't just end it like that. We need a proper goodbye. He looked horrible when he left. Devastated. Why? Is it because... I didn't follow after him? Does he... really love me?

I shake my head. No he can't... Do I love him? No no no. I love Zelda. Why.. why am I thinking these thought?! I just.. I need to see him one more time. I need to apologize and give him a proper goodbye. I'll feel guilty if I don't. I'll tell Zelda. Maybe after she knights me. I think that's now isn't it? Maybe I can persuade her to keeping Dark here. Well will he go anyway? He doesn't have anywhere else to go... he doesn't need to serve her. Just stay in her castle..

"Please proceed through the door..." The knight says. He bows down lightly and stands in front of 2 large doors. Hmm... I haven't seen these room yet. I open the doors and am greeted with a burst of light. Wincing slightly, I close one eye as I enter the room. A ceiling? No such thing. It was all glass. Glass everywhere. It felt as if I were in a giant mirrored cube... was I? I saw myself, dirty yet clean. I've worn this uniform for my whole adventure.. I ignore myself and take a look around In search of Zelda. And I see her... as beautiful as ever sitting on a pearl white rock near a small waterfall. The waterfall, maybe 3 feet in height, cascades down to a small pond which pours into another and another and another. Once it reaches the final pond, its streams down a river that circles the room.

"It comes from the Lake Hylia," Zelda says as she smiles sweetly at me. Motioning me with her hands, I look up at the way to her. Little glass stairs that sparkle and shine from the sunlight are the way to go. I smile and bite my lip. 'Oh goddess... how do I tell her here...' I Walk up the stairs and as I reach her, I get on one knee and bow to her.

"Princess, I need... to ask a favor.."

Her sweet smile disappears into a look of concern and worry.

"The hero asks me for a favor? Oh, this must be important... Do tell," she says as her hands clamp together and sit on her knee's. I gulp and look up at her.

"Can.. we postpone... the knighting...? I have to do something important," I say. Just like that, in the matter of seconds, her concern diminishes and her look turns to pure sadness mixed in with anger.

"Why?! It's because of that beast isn't it! That shadow of ganondrof who almost KILLED all of our people!" She yells as she stands up. The pearl white rock shakes from her abrupt movement an I feel the vibrations echoing off the mirrors around.

"Zelda!" I stand up and gently touch her shoulder, "He's one of your people too. You may not see it yet but he's a good guy... You two just didn't start off on a good level..."

"He's a creation of Ganondorf! He's Evil! He's the opposite of you and you are pure good," Zelda fumbles in search of words, "He's pure evil! I don't even know why I say 'He' It! That! Monster! Shadow! He's everything but!"

I pull her into a hug and her yelling quiets down. She stands there for a while before wrapping her arms around me again. She shakes slightly as I feel little tears soak through my tunic.

"Why... why don't you love me?..." She asks as she pulls away from my hug slightly. I still embrace her.

"It's not that I don't love you. I care for people. It's my job as the Hero to save people, and Dark Link.. is one of them..." Zelda looks down and away from my eyes, "He may seem like a monster but he's helped me through everything. He cares about me and I care about him. You're the holder of the Triforce of wisdom..." She looks back up at me, "And you should be able to see that in that dark outer appearance.. Theres a strong light that shines on the inside... We have to trust and I already trust him."

"But I don't see light! All I see is dark... and Evil.. and"

"You're not looking deep enough. I'm sorry princess if I offend you but, you are judging Dark Link by his appearance and his past. You two started off on rocks but if you both try... you could get to like each other.."

" I doubt that.." She scoffs sadly looking off the the side

"Just try.. try for me?" I hesitate before lightly grabbing her chin. I tilt it up and kiss her on the lips gently. I close my eyes and think.. 'This.. doesn't feel like... what I thought it would.. There's no spark.. I don't feel anything for Princess Zelda..' I pull away and smile.

"I'll try Link..." she senses my uncertainty, "Go find your... friend.. and come back safe.." she smiles sadly. I nod my head and bow down before climbing down the mirror stairs. I keep myself from looking back and bite my lip as I make my way out the door.

Guys I deleted my old one, but my last message was saying that my laptop broke and it indeed did. I'm getting it back Wednesday and hopefully it will be working like it always has. This is the best I could type on my ipod. I'm leaving you in a... normal ending so you don't feel anticipation for the next chapter lol. So yeah remember I typed this on my ipod and it was really hard -.- Please review and again I apologize for the wait and the long waits will be over soon!
