Hiya folks!!!! Here is your next chapter!!!I actually got threatened omg!!!lol oh well before I recieve anymore threats I have updated hope you likey!!!!

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ZELDA OR ANYTHING FROM THE GAMES.

To Tell or Not To Tell?

"Eros? Can you please answer me?" Malon asked him, her voice now quivering and tears threatening to fall.Eros kept staring at her intently debating inside his head wether or not to tell her.

"Well you see, that time that you were crying about four months ago.....I overheard you crying over some guy named Link.That's how I know.....his....name" Eros answered her long awaited question.

"Why didn't you tell me you had overheard?" She asked now a little bit calmed."Well I thought you would get angry at me." He looked down at the ground and felt her move a little.She was now completly facing him."But tell me why did you call him Hero of Time?I mean I have heard something about some hero of time but why did you call Link that? Do you know about him? Do you know were he is?" She asked each word sounding more desperate.

"Well" Eros seemed in deep thought now.He was thinking up a lie.A lie that would definatly give this new person a chance with Malon."I heard he was a brave wonderer.He defeated evil creatures and saved many people.Sadly, in one battle....his life.....was...lost..."

It had grown silent.Then that eerily peaceful silence was shattered by the sound of the mug that Malon held falling down and breaking at touching the ground.He looked up and emediatly regreted ever saying that.Her eyes seemed distant, lost, and slowly they darkened.They darkened with pain,anger, and defeat.Tears were now sliding off her cheeks like a waterfall.She had collapsed on the floor on her hands and knees.Her hands were slowly drawn into fists, and her head was bowed lowly so she could hide her eyes.

"Malon, I'm sorry." He set down his mug and kneeled beside her vourneable form.He put his arms around her and cuddled her close.Just as soon he did so, she began to sob madly, her heart had been broken."I'm so sorry Malon I shouldn't have said anything. Although it is said he fought very hard in that battle because he wanted to return to Hyrule for a very special girl.A girl he had promised he would come back for."By now he had tightened his hold on her and had whispered all this into her ear.

She looked up to him and was now looking at him confusedly." A girl he had promised to return for? " He looked back down to her and with one hand he whiped her tears from her left cheek.

"Yeah, a girl he had promised he would return for.A girl he gave a pendant to, a sign of his eternal friendship and love. Link and Malon friends forever....."His voice slowly faded into a whisper.His eyes were closed and his mind lost in memory.

"A pendant?" Malon was now very suspicious of Eros.In her head was now the idea that Eros was Link.'No one could have ever known about that pendant nor memorized exactly what he had carved on it.Eros and Link are the same person! Link you have returned! You were here all along and I never knew it! No wonder I always saw Eros as Link!' After her question Eros hadn't answered.He was far too lost in thought to recognize he had once again made another mistake.A mistake that made Malon figure out the truth.

"Tell me LINK where have you been all these years?" Eros automatically opened his eyes at the very mention of his true name.He looked at Malon and furrowed his eyebrows, staring at her awkwardly."What?" was all he could say after the intent stare.At that moment Malon got up and left his warm embrace.She turned on her heel and was now completely facing him.He then stood up as well also facing her.Their eyes met and all they did was stare until Malon broke the silence, "You heard me Link.Where have you been all these years? Or are you not going to tell me like usuall?"

She had his full attention now and all he did was continue to stare.

"Why do you keep calling me that? I'm not Link, if that's what you are thinking." He walked around her and began to head for his room but she stopped him by standing in his way."I am calling you Link because that is who you are. And do not try to tell me that you are not him because you can't fool me anymore." She had a serious look in her eyes and tears were begenning to form again.Eros sighed outloud and said, "I am sorry Malon but I am not Link. What on earth makes you think that I am? I know I remind you of him but you cannot fool yourself into thinking that I am him!" He walked around her again but she stopped him once more, "Link and Malon friends forever! That's what you carved into a piece of wood that you shaped into a flower!No one could have known exactly what you did! I know you! You would never tell anyone about that promise so exact that they would know exactly what you carved! No one that is not you yourself would have memorized what you carved! Are you still so stubborn to accept defeat when it has come!? Or have you become such a coward that when you are discovered you will not admit to it!?"

That got him to stop.But he did not face her, he couldn't.He was ashamed, ashamed of lying to her. Of making her think so many things that were never true. It was true he had become a coward for not being able to admit the truth when he was discovered.They stood like that for what seemed like an eternity. No sound came frome either of them for non could think of a word to say.Finally Eros turned to face her.Tears had fallen and more were froming in his eyes.He held guilt, shame. and pain all in his heart.he looked at her and she at him.

"Will you still deny it? Or will you finally submit to the truth?" Malon spoke first unable to go along with the silence any longer."No" was all Eros could say."No!? No what?" Malon asked sounding harsher than she meant to."I will not lie anymore........I am Link, Malon."
