My Knight?

Malon's smile faded, her eyeborws raised and only one question came to mind. "My knight? Link why would you ask me such a thing?" He finally sat up Malon having pulled away when she asked the question."I was just kinda curious.Have you though?" Malon looked around the room nervously unsure of what to say."You know what Link, uhm, it's getting kinda late.I think I'm going to turn in for tonight see you in the morning!" She got up and headed towards her room but was stopped by Link.

"Malon why are you avoiding answering my question?" He stared at her intensly making her feel unconfortable."Link, well...what Kind of question is that? I mean...it's not an appropiate subject......I..uh...I just don't know how to answer that. Sorry" She tried to step around him but he wouldn't let her."You mean to tell me that you never once fell in love with me? Not as a friend but as your lover?" She looked to the floor finding it very interesting after he had said the comment.She slumped her shoulder's and looked up at him with serious eyes." I...tried not to."

Link looked at her puzzlement clear in his eyes. 'Why would she say that?' he wondered. Her eyes were so honest showing a tiny bit of hurt within. The open windows of her soul fluttering with the wind that came from within her heart."Why? What do you mean?" She sighed out loud looking up to meet his eyes again after they had wandered off for a bit." Because I always had the idea that you would one day marry Zelda.Eventhough secretly I wished that, you might marry me instead.Or even go as far as loving me.I always thuoght that you loved her with all your heart and that I was just a simple person to you. And answering your question, yes. I always did and I still do.

His eyes had widened and he began to smirk at the words registering in his head."Malon, although Zelda is a dear friend of mine.I would never think of her like that. I love her but not as my partner in love. I love her but Im not in love with her, she is like a sister to me. But, you know......your wish of me loving you came true.Malon.....Im in love with you. That's is what I was going to say earlier ,and that is what you used to know in the other life. You and I were together.......you were my girl,my soon to be wife." Link blushed a deep shade of red at his last sentence. Malon had quikly twirled and gasped at each and every one of his words.

"Do you really mean that?" She asked totally shocked.She began walking toward him as he nodded his head slowly. When he looked up she was but a few feet away from him."So basically we always loved each other, could have been a couple since a long time ago, but we were too shy to say anyting."Malon commented."Yep that's basically it. However I do have something to ask of you. That is,if I may?" He looked at Malon and stared into the depths of her eyes as she nodded with a small smile."Malon will you be my girlfriend?" Malon's eyes went wide and her heart nearly stopped.Her entire soul was dancing and you could see it all through her eyes.The once dim fire of joy within her was now a blaze with so much energy.



"Yes, Link.I will be your girlfriend." She smiled a brilliant smile and from then on they were talking about all the silly things that they would do just to see each other or talk to one another.

Midnight soon arrived and they did not want to part.So Malon thought of a bright idea.She set up a few blankets on the floor of the living room,brought a few pillows from both their rooms, and that is where they slept that night. Soundly and warm in each other's arms.

Days turned into weeks and soon it had been three weeks since then.A carriege appeared at the gates of the ranch. It let itself in since there was no one to stop it.Link and Malon were riding the horses around the corral laughing and smiling chasing eachother around. Malon was the first to turn and see the carriege when she heard the step of the horses on the dirt close to the entrance of the corral. A knight appeared and he walked to the door of the carriege.

Link's face went pale when he saw the emblem of his Kingdom on the side door and the two flags at the end of the carriege."What is it?Link?" asked Malon who was utterly confused at the moment."It's a carriege of the nobles from my kingdom.I hope it's not my father..."The last part was sort of a whisper but she still heard it and gasped putting her hand to her mouth.

"I sure do hope it's not my father........"



"Link why do you hope that? What's wrong with your father?" She asked rather surprised at his comment."It's a long story Mal. I'll tell you about it some other time." They both turned their attention to the carriege as an old man stepped out with a smile on his features."Hello my prince. I see you have been fairing well." He nodded and bowed.

"Quintus..." Link let out a long breath he had been holding in."I'm glad to see you. However, I am willing to bet that this is not a simple greetings visit. You have bad news for me don't you?" Quintus nodded again and stepped towards them. "Yes, but we need somewhere private to talk about this." He turned to Malon and said," I beg your pardon miss. I am Quintus, Link's caretaker. Pleasure to meet you miss Malon." He bowed and then turned to Link with a serious face.



Malon was too stunned by all of this and couldn't find words in her mouth to speak them. They were all in her head. "Malon?" "huh" she was taken out of her world by Link's smoothe voice. "Malon do you mind if we talk about something important in my room?" Malon shook her head , "No not at all. Go right ahead I will just tend to the horses." At that she walked off into the direction of the stables.

Meanwhile Quintus and Link went inside to discuss the bad news. Once inside Link sat down on his bed and Quintus took the chair nearby. "Link, I am sorry but this visit with your friend has to end now. Your father is already in Hyrule and talking to the King. They are discussing your arranged marriege. Soon your father will come looking for you and if he finds you he will take you back and force your hand in marriege." Link took this in with a very serious expression. He could not believe his father going so far."Does he know where I am?" Link asked. "Yes, yes. He knows everything. Where you are, where you have been and why. He is willing to threaten miss Malon's life if you do not marry."

Link stood up immediately and slammed his fists on his dresser."No!! He can't! I won't let him!!" "Your father is a powerful man he can do that and more. I ask of you not to tell this to miss Malon she will only panic and bring silly ideas to your head. Ideas that could and would eventually end her life by your father's men. If she knows her life will be more at risk than it is now. You and I must leave for the castle as soon as possible before he arrives here and thrashe the place." He looked at Link's sad eyes on the brink of tears."But, when the engagement is announced she will know. Her heart will be broken and she will hate me." He looked up at Quintus who was looking at the floor, his eyes closed.

"My boy,better to have her alive and hating you. Than dead.Knowing you, you will want to run with her but your father is already prepared for this. If you run there will be soldiers waiting for you at every exit of Hyrule. Ready to take you and kill all who are with you.Link , Im sorry."

Link closed his eyes. Swung at everything in his reach and screamed into his pillow. "Damn him! I hate him!!! All for power!!! He is willing to give up my life for his own needs!!! Quintus!! I will do as he asks but only to keep Malon safe!! I would rather have her hate me for all my life than live without her in this world for the rest of my life. We shall leave immediately." He stood up and began to pack.

"What about Miss Malon?"Quintus asked. "I, will tell her father summoned me and must speak with me about our kingdom. She will have to believe that until the announcement and then....she will replace that love for me with hatred...."
