Consolation Infatuation Part Three
-IN THE FIELD-
"General Alexander, we have been permitted entrance to the ranch. Please gather everyone up and let us get moving before the sun sets." Alexander nodded and turned to the troops. "Everyone gather your belongings and let us get moving. We will stay at the ranch not too far from here until we are all fully restored!" A small cheer was heard amongst the men and they began to gather their things. The generals had been prepared and already were on their horses. A little while later the troops were ready to move again and they began to ride towards the ranch.
-AT THE RANCH-
Malon kept walking back and forth inside the kitchen as well as Fiory. They were almost done with the meal and the sun was already begenning to set. "When will your men be here general?" she asked. "Please call me Fiory, my men should be here shortly it may have taken them a little longer than us due to their circumstances. They have to keep a steady pace if not the wounded will fall off their horses and then they will take longer to get here." He answered while stirirng the soup. "I see, well at least they will get here safe. But you have to make sure you aren't traveling at night, it's dangerous out there." Malon told him with a serious tone as she supervised how he was stiring. She heard him chuckle a bit and that made her look up at him. His eyes were happy and they were laughing along with him. They seemed to smile as big as the one he had on his face.
"You sound just like Catherine. Always warning me and my men, looking out for any possible dangers there could be or that there are. But if you meant about those walking skeletons we avoided them by keeping ourselves on our horses. However that did have a side effect to my men, it made them severly fatigued from being awake all night." 'I wonder who Catherine is, is she his wife?' Malon shoed him a bit to the side and stood infront of the large pot. He simply leaned on the wall that was next to the stove (I have no idea what they called those things that were used as stoves back then so I will just stick to that) and stared at Malon. "Maybe you should heed your wife's warnings once in a while, it would keep you and your men out of trouble." She heard another small laugh from his direction and she raised one eyebrow. "What's so funny this time? You know you seem to laugh a lot at what I say." she said with a small scowl on her face and her hands no longer on the wooden spoon but on her hips.
"Forgive me, I should have made my last statement clear. Catherine is not my wife she is my older sister, hence her always looking out for me. Sometimes I think that if she were born a man she would be a much better general than I." He smiled at Malon whose scowl now turned into a bashful smile and red cheecks. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have assumed she was, I didn't know." He nodded his head and walked towards the cabinets to start taking out the plates."It's alright, she is often assumed to be my wife the way I talk about her sometimes. But I do love her dearly, after our parents died she was all I had left in the world. Alone she struggled for me to have a good education and a good trait. Now look at me, a general, all thanks to her." Malon smiled at his fondness toward his sister. ' I had no idea how his life was, it must have been pretty tough growing up the way he did. In a way I feel sorry for him, but then again happy that he at least is not alone that he has someone who cares for him.' The rest of the time was spent having small chatter on the food, if it was ready yet, if it needed more salt, or other small things like that.
Horses were heard outside and Fiory rushed outside to greet his comrades. Malon was cleaning the used dishes and as soon as she heard the horses tried to wash them faster. "General Alex, it is good to see you here. Is everyone here safe? Did you have any troubles on your way?" Fiory asked. "Thank you for the small welcome general, I hope you have been faring well since this morning.Everyone is safe and sound and no we had no troubles on our way here. " Alex said with his eyebrow raised. "I have general thanks for your concern, I am glad everything is fine as well." There was a small silence between the two generals save the rest of the troops small chatter and the horses' hoofs touching the ground softly. "Well were is our kind host?" General Alexander asked Fiory while dismounting his horse. The other generals followed suit and next the soldiers. Weary cries were heard from the wounded as they were dismounted and put on their friends' shoulders. "The Lady awaits your arrival inside her abode. It is this way, the soldiers are to be taken to another place I am not sure were yet but if you are all kind to wait I am sure she will show you were you can rest." They all nodded and the generals followed Fiory inside the house were Malon was just coming out of the kitchen drying her hands with a dry cloth.
She walked towards Fiory who had nodded her way and ushered her to stand by him. "Lady Malon, this is General Alexander Siei, he is the general of the Royal army and the leader of our small group." Alex bowed his head in respect as Malon walked toward him. "Pleasure to meet you General" she said with a pleasant smile and her hand out to him. He took it but instead of the greeting handshake he kissed the back of her hand. "The pleasure is all mine Lady Malon" he replied in an emotionless tone. She stepped back and smiled at the other young men. "This is General Daniel Mc Iyeth, General of the Western army. I believe you have already met General Camry." Fiory said once more. Malon stepped toward Daniel and smiled again, "Pleasure to meet you as well General" He bowed his head and took Malon's hand surprising her and kissed it just as Alex had done. Malon blushed for what seemed to be the second time that day and she turned to Camry smiled and said, "Welcome back General." she bowed her head as well as Camry and he repeated the actions that the other generals had done making Malon blush again. "I am aquanting myself now the way I hadn't before. I hope you can excuse my rude introduction of earlier." He smiled back at her, the first of the three to actually smile warm heartedly. Malon nodded and said, "Apology accepted General Camry, but please all of you, just call me Malon I am no noble to be adressed with such formality from you." Daniel smirked her way and stepped forward, "We will all agree to that if you agree to call us by our first names, with no 'General' in the begenning." She smiled and said, "Agreed. Well I better get going or your men will become impatient with me."
She then walked outside and began greeting the soldiers. She told them to follow her and they did, luckily for them the place were they were to stay was not very far from the house. "She seems nice, too nice. People could take advantage of her easily, that is not good for her. She needs to learn to not be so trusting, I can already see some of the ruthless men in our army eyeing her with lust. We cannot allow that type of harm to scar her, not when it is her kind hospitality that is aiding us." Alex walked out leaving his friends bewildered by his comment."Exactly when did he become so caring towards others?" Daniel asked no one in particular."Since his wife was killed and raped by a soldier from Marveina. Do you not remember Daniel? That was exactly two months ago, he is still in mourning." Fiory said walking out of the house as well. "Right, how could I forget? I was the one to help him get back on his feet after that...." Daniel shook his head slowly while looking at the floor and walking towards the door. "He is right Danny, we should keep her from that, it would ruin her forever."
"Hey Camry, did you notice that she had red hair and is also an outstanding beauty?"
"Yes, I did, but I tend not to judge a person by looks but by their inner self. I did notice that red hair most of all though. There are no women nor man who possess such a hair color in Osirian. The last time I saw someone with red hair was back with those thieves that attcked us. But they had it in a much brighter tone, if you are thinking that she might have had something to do with that I doubt it."
"No Camry, I was not assuming such a thing, it is just that she seems so different from many of the women that I know"
"That is because most of the women that you know are not conservative they choose to throw themselves at you and praise you like a God. She is different just like many of the townspeople that I know. They are kind and helpful, conservative and proud of what they have accomplished throughout their lives. That is what makes her different and yet the same as others. You need to get out more my friend." Camry laughed and walked ahead of Daniel. He opened the door and stepped out ushering his friend to follow. They went inside were Malon had told the other's to follow her. It was a big open house like place made of only hard wood and with a few windows on the sides. All the men were seperated in sections and spaces between them were left to be able to walk. The wounded were placed in the far back and the rest were they chose to be. "Ah, I see you have finally decided to join us. Can you help me though? I need some more towels and they are over there in that blue cabinet along with some more water jars. Please?" Malon asked them with her hair already a little out of place and her white shirt with a few small blood stains.
They nodded and went to the cabinet. When they came back Malon was attending a young man with a serious injury on his right arm. It was broken and he was bleeding from a deep stab. Malon looked around the place and spotted what she was looking for in a corner not too far. "Please Fiory could you hold his arm, I need to get something that will help his wound close. He nodded and she stood up walking towards that corner. She returned a little bit after she had left and indicated Fiory to hold his arm up. "Ok, this spider web should help keep his wound sealed until it has healed on it's own. It works marvels and should help him tremendously but it will sting." She wrapped the web around his wound as the young man was bitting hard onto the biece of cloth in his mouth. The wound was covered soon and then she put a regular piece of cloth around his arm as a bandage. "There, in about two to three weeks his wound should be closed fully, however his arm will be back to normal in six months if he keeps it as I left it right now." Fiory nodded and then told the young man what to do as Malon went to attend the other wounded soldiers.
-LATER THAT NIGHT-
Malon finally finished attending the wounded and left outside. She needed some fresh air and a peacefull place to sit for a break. All day she had been healing the men's wounds and her entire outfit was splattered with blood and smelt of healing herbs and potions. Her hair was a little messy and her hands were also dirty with the same things her outfit had. Once near the corral she walked over to a barrel full with fresh clean water. She dipped her hands in and washed away the substances they had, the soreness of her fingers were relaxed a bit by the water's coolness and the small pricks from the needles were also soothed.
She looked at herself and decided that she needed a bath not to mention a place of solitude if even for a little while. 'I know, I'll go to Lake Hylia. Oh how I've missed that place.' As soon as her hands were fully cleaned she headed for the house were the generals were currently resting. She entered her house and found them sitting on the couch with their eyes closed and their heads resting on the back of the couch. Daniel opened one eye to look at the intruder and the rest opened their eyes a little bit, enough to see who it was. "Sorry, I didn't mean to intrude I was just going to tell you all that you are welcome to sleep in that room over there. It has a full sized bed and a long couch were you can all sleep. There is a blue cabinet to your left once inside the room, in there you'll find extra pillows and blankets. Make yourselves comfortable. I don't mean to be a rude host but as you can see I need a good bath. If there is an emergency than you can come get me at Lake Hylia. By horseback it should take at least an hour and a half, if it is only one of you who is coming to get me.That will be all, rest up now."
With that said they all nodded and went back to their previous posission except Fiory. He stood up after Malon walked out the door and followed after her. He made sure to shut the door quietly as to not disturb his comrades, but they all noticed anyway. "Malon, wait." She stopped clean in her track and turned around to face Fiory."What is it? Need anything already?" she smiled at him and waited for his reply."Where is this Lake Hylia, and is it safe?" Malon giggled and walked a little bit toward him. She pulled out something from her pocket and handed it to him."This is a map of all Hyrule. The red mark shows were Lake Hylia is, don't worry I will be just fine." She turned around again and continued to walk towards the stables. "But it's in the open field, that does not seem safe to me. Take at least a weapon with you or maybe I should come along with you."
She turned around again and looked at him with a smile. "I will be fine, I have my bow and arrows, not to mention a dagger in my boot. I also have my horse with me, she is as much as a companion as any one else would be. Now stop worrying and go back and rest." Fiory nodded and went back to the house, still not fully convinced however, he set his mind to follow after her in a while. Malon headed for the stables and soon came out with her horse heading towards Lake Hylia.
She arrived there no sooner than she expected with the sun now fully set and the moon already out. She relieved herself of her clothes leaving only her thin white bed dress on and jumped in the water. She swam under the water admiring the dark blue colors the night left upon the lake. Running out of air she rose to the surface breathing in the fresh air her lungs craved for. Her red hair was pailed by the moon light as it lay sprawled about the water bobbing to the motion of the water.
When her eyes met the moon her mind wandered to think of only one person. 'Link...will I ever stop thinking of you? You hold my heart still in the palm of your hand. I can't, my heart won't let go of you. Your memory engraved in my head, your love glued in my heart. Why do I still hold hope for us being together. Why?" She closed her eyes when tears started forming in her eyes. They flowed down her face and into the water even when she opened her eyes again the tears still flowed on and on. 'It's a crescent...'
FLASHBACK
"Look at the moon Malon. Do you see what shape it has?" Link smiled down at Malon who was cuddled in his arms, her eyes searching for the moon in the sky. "Yes, it is in the form of a crescent Link. It's one of my favorite moon phases." Link looked at her curiously and shuffled her in his arms so she could face him eye to eye. "Why? Does it hold a special meaning to you?" Malon smiled and stared into his eyes. "Non in particular but I always like to think of it as one of the Goddesses sitting on the moon when it is in crescent form and gazing into the world her sisters and her have created. That's all, but why did you tell me to look at it?" Link shrugged and said, "No reason. I just wanted to hear how pationately you speak of things you adore. It makes me wonder if you are really real. If a girl as perfect as you can exist......well almost perfect. " He added sarcasticlly at the end earning a soft slap in the arm. "Mean. So is this what we are going to do all night. Stare at the lovely moon? Or what?"
Link's smile turned into a grin as he said devilishly, "No, we aren't. I was planning on something better." He got closer to her face faking a kiss when all of a sudden Malon's eyes shot wide open when she felt his fingers at her sides tickling her and she burst into laughter. ".....stop........tickling.....me!.....Link.......you'll.......be.......sorry....." She said in between laughs. He stopped at hearing the last part his face getting serious. "What are you going to do about it?" Malon raised an eyebrow and began to get up. He cought her wrist and looked at her with puppy dog eyes. "Where are you going?" Malon faked being upset and tried to get her wrist back but Link was too strong. "You'll see follow me." Link stood up and followed her still holding onto her wrist. He finally let go when she stopped abrubtly at the shores of Lake Hylia. He raised an eye brow and looked at her quizzically. She smiled evilly and turned to face him. "This..." She said sweetly catching him off guard and pushing him into the water. "Malon...I'll get you back for this you'll see." He said while getting up walking towards Malon's retreating form.
She let out a small scream as he chased her around angrily. He finally caught her and put her over his shoulder while walking to the lake. Meanwhile she was screaming and kicking for him to let her go. When he stopped it took Malon only a second to notice he was going to jump in with her altogether. "NOOOOOO!!!!!" was the last thing she let out of her mouth before water entered it. When she rose to the top she glared at Link who was laughing out of his mind. "Scared weren't you?" he asked evilly. "You are so mean!" He looked at her and swam towards her from behind. He put his arm around her waist and with his free one swam to where his feet touched the sand underwater. Once there he put both arms around her and whispered in her ear, "Not as mean as you are." She turned around to look at him eye to eye and glared. "Sure your not you mean-" She was cut off when his lips made contact with hers ending her sentence with a kiss. The kiss soon intensed and both their hearts just soared.
He held her closer to him and begged for entrance to her mouth with his tongue. She complied by parting her lips just enough for him to taste her sweet taste. They explored inside each other enjoying the tender moment while it lasted. When they parted out of breath and breathing hard they just stared at each other and smiled.
END FLASHBACK
Malon closed her eyes once more and let a lonely tear slide down her cheeck. "Link" she whispered in the wind. Her snapped wide open when she heard someone's footsteps coming closer to the shore. Her heartbeat raced faster and faster as the footsteps kept approaching. ' Where are you when I need you to protect as you once promised you would.' The footsteps stopped and all was silent for a while, 'Link!' she screamed his name out in her mind....

Consolation Infatuation Part Three
-IN THE FIELD-
"General Alexander, we have been permitted entrance to the ranch. Please gather everyone up and let us get moving before the sun sets." Alexander nodded and turned to the troops. "Everyone gather your belongings and let us get moving. We will stay at the ranch not too far from here until we are all fully restored!" A small cheer was heard amongst the men and they began to gather their things. The generals had been prepared and already were on their horses. A little while later the troops were ready to move again and they began to ride towards the ranch.
-AT THE RANCH-
Malon kept walking back and forth inside the kitchen as well as Fiory. They were almost done with the meal and the sun was already begenning to set. "When will your men be here general?" she asked. "Please call me Fiory, my men should be here shortly it may have taken them a little longer than us due to their circumstances. They have to keep a steady pace if not the wounded will fall off their horses and then they will take longer to get here." He answered while stirirng the soup. "I see, well at least they will get here safe. But you have to make sure you aren't traveling at night, it's dangerous out there." Malon told him with a serious tone as she supervised how he was stiring. She heard him chuckle a bit and that made her look up at him. His eyes were happy and they were laughing along with him. They seemed to smile as big as the one he had on his face.
"You sound just like Catherine. Always warning me and my men, looking out for any possible dangers there could be or that there are. But if you meant about those walking skeletons we avoided them by keeping ourselves on our horses.

"Forgive me, I should have made my last statement clear. Catherine is not my wife she is my older sister, hence her always looking out for me.

The rest of the time was spent having small chatter on the food, if it was ready yet, if it needed more salt, or other small things like that.
Horses were heard outside and Fiory rushed outside to greet his comrades. Malon was cleaning the used dishes and as soon as she heard the horses tried to wash them faster. "General Alex, it is good to see you here. Is everyone here safe? Did you have any troubles on your way?" Fiory asked. "Thank you for the small welcome general, I hope you have been faring well since this morning.Everyone is safe and sound and no we had no troubles on our way here. " Alex said with his eyebrow raised. "I have general thanks for your concern, I am glad everything is fine as well." There was a small silence between the two generals save the rest of the troops small chatter and the horses' hoofs touching the ground softly. "Well were is our kind host?" General Alexander asked Fiory while dismounting his horse. The other generals followed suit and next the soldiers. Weary cries were heard from the wounded as they were dismounted and put on their friends' shoulders. "The Lady awaits your arrival inside her abode. It is this way, the soldiers are to be taken to another place I am not sure were yet but if you are all kind to wait I am sure she will show you were you can rest." They all nodded and the generals followed Fiory inside the house were Malon was just coming out of the kitchen drying her hands with a dry cloth.
She walked towards Fiory who had nodded her way and ushered her to stand by him. "Lady Malon, this is General Alexander Siei, he is the general of the Royal army and the leader of our small group." Alex bowed his head in respect as Malon walked toward him. "Pleasure to meet you General" she said with a pleasant smile and her hand out to him. He took it but instead of the greeting handshake he kissed the back of her hand. "The pleasure is all mine Lady Malon" he replied in an emotionless tone. She stepped back and smiled at the other young men. "This is General Daniel Mc Iyeth, General of the Western army. I believe you have already met General Camry." Fiory said once more. Malon stepped toward Daniel and smiled again, "Pleasure to meet you as well General" He bowed his head and took Malon's hand surprising her and kissed it just as Alex had done. Malon blushed for what seemed to be the second time that day and she turned to Camry smiled and said, "Welcome back General." she bowed her head as well as Camry and he repeated the actions that the other generals had done making Malon blush again. "I am aquanting myself now the way I hadn't before. I hope you can excuse my rude introduction of earlier." He smiled back at her, the first of the three to actually smile warm heartedly.

You need to get out more my friend." Camry laughed and walked ahead of Daniel. He opened the door and stepped out ushering his friend to follow. They went inside were Malon had told the other's to follow her. It was a big open house like place made of only hard wood and with a few windows on the sides. All the men were seperated in sections and spaces between them were left to be able to walk. The wounded were placed in the far back and the rest were they chose to be. "Ah, I see you have finally decided to join us. Can you help me though? I need some more towels and they are over there in that blue cabinet along with some more water jars. Please?" Malon asked them with her hair already a little out of place and her white shirt with a few small blood stains.
They nodded and went to the cabinet. When they came back Malon was attending a young man with a serious injury on his right arm. It was broken and he was bleeding from a deep stab. Malon looked around the place and spotted what she was looking for in a corner not too far. "Please Fiory could you hold his arm, I need to get something that will help his wound close. He nodded and she stood up walking towards that corner. She returned a little bit after she had left and indicated Fiory to hold his arm up.

The wound was covered soon and then she put a regular piece of cloth around his arm as a bandage. "There, in about two to three weeks his wound should be closed fully, however his arm will be back to normal in six months if he keeps it as I left it right now." Fiory nodded and then told the young man what to do as Malon went to attend the other wounded soldiers.
-LATER THAT NIGHT-
Malon finally finished attending the wounded and left outside. She needed some fresh air and a peacefull place to sit for a break. All day she had been healing the men's wounds and her entire outfit was splattered with blood and smelt of healing herbs and potions. Her hair was a little messy and her hands were also dirty with the same things her outfit had. Once near the corral she walked over to a barrel full with fresh clean water. She dipped her hands in and washed away the substances they had, the soreness of her fingers were relaxed a bit by the water's coolness and the small pricks from the needles were also soothed.
She looked at herself and decided that she needed a bath not to mention a place of solitude if even for a little while. 'I know, I'll go to Lake Hylia. Oh how I've missed that place.' As soon as her hands were fully cleaned she headed for the house were the generals were currently resting. She entered her house and found them sitting on the couch with their eyes closed and their heads resting on the back of the couch. Daniel opened one eye to look at the intruder and the rest opened their eyes a little bit, enough to see who it was. "Sorry, I didn't mean to intrude I was just going to tell you all that you are welcome to sleep in that room over there. It has a full sized bed and a long couch were you can all sleep. There is a blue cabinet to your left once inside the room, in there you'll find extra pillows and blankets. Make yourselves comfortable. I don't mean to be a rude host but as you can see I need a good bath. If there is an emergency than you can come get me at Lake Hylia. By horseback it should take at least an hour and a half, if it is only one of you who is coming to get me.That will be all, rest up now."
With that said they all nodded and went back to their previous posission except Fiory. He stood up after Malon walked out the door and followed after her. He made sure to shut the door quietly as to not disturb his comrades, but they all noticed anyway. "Malon, wait." She stopped clean in her track and turned around to face Fiory."What is it? Need anything already?" she smiled at him and waited for his reply."Where is this Lake Hylia, and is it safe?" Malon giggled and walked a little bit toward him. She pulled out something from her pocket and handed it to him."This is a map of all Hyrule. The red mark shows were Lake Hylia is, don't worry I will be just fine." She turned around again and continued to walk towards the stables. "But it's in the open field, that does not seem safe to me. Take at least a weapon with you or maybe I should come along with you."
She turned around again and looked at him with a smile. "I will be fine, I have my bow and arrows, not to mention a dagger in my boot. I also have my horse with me, she is as much as a companion as any one else would be. Now stop worrying and go back and rest." Fiory nodded and went back to the house, still not fully convinced however, he set his mind to follow after her in a while. Malon headed for the stables and soon came out with her horse heading towards Lake Hylia.
She arrived there no sooner than she expected with the sun now fully set and the moon already out. She relieved herself of her clothes leaving only her thin white bed dress on and jumped in the water. She swam under the water admiring the dark blue colors the night left upon the lake. Running out of air she rose to the surface breathing in the fresh air her lungs craved for. Her red hair was pailed by the moon light as it lay sprawled about the water bobbing to the motion of the water.
When her eyes met the moon her mind wandered to think of only one person. 'Link...will I ever stop thinking of you? You hold my heart still in the palm of your hand. I can't, my heart won't let go of you. Your memory engraved in my head, your love glued in my heart. Why do I still hold hope for us being together. Why?" She closed her eyes when tears started forming in her eyes. They flowed down her face and into the water even when she opened her eyes again the tears still flowed on and on. 'It's a crescent...'
FLASHBACK
"Look at the moon Malon. Do you see what shape it has?" Link smiled down at Malon who was cuddled in his arms, her eyes searching for the moon in the sky. "Yes, it is in the form of a crescent Link. It's one of my favorite moon phases." Link looked at her curiously and shuffled her in his arms so she could face him eye to eye. "Why? Does it hold a special meaning to you?" Malon smiled and stared into his eyes. "Non in particular but I always like to think of it as one of the Goddesses sitting on the moon when it is in crescent form and gazing into the world her sisters and her have created. That's all, but why did you tell me to look at it?" Link shrugged and said, "No reason. I just wanted to hear how pationately you speak of things you adore. It makes me wonder if you are really real. If a girl as perfect as you can exist......well almost perfect. " He added sarcasticlly at the end earning a soft slap in the arm. "Mean. So is this what we are going to do all night. Stare at the lovely moon? Or what?"
Link's smile turned into a grin as he said devilishly, "No, we aren't. I was planning on something better." He got closer to her face faking a kiss when all of a sudden Malon's eyes shot wide open when she felt his fingers at her sides tickling her and she burst into laughter. ".....stop........tickling.....me!.....Link.......you'll.......be.......sorry....." She said in between laughs. He stopped at hearing the last part his face getting serious. "What are you going to do about it?" Malon raised an eyebrow and began to get up. He cought her wrist and looked at her with puppy dog eyes. "Where are you going?" Malon faked being upset and tried to get her wrist back but Link was too strong. "You'll see follow me." Link stood up and followed her still holding onto her wrist. He finally let go when she stopped abrubtly at the shores of Lake Hylia. He raised an eye brow and looked at her quizzically. She smiled evilly and turned to face him. "This..." She said sweetly catching him off guard and pushing him into the water. "Malon...I'll get you back for this you'll see." He said while getting up walking towards Malon's retreating form.
She let out a small scream as he chased her around angrily. He finally caught her and put her over his shoulder while walking to the lake. Meanwhile she was screaming and kicking for him to let her go. When he stopped it took Malon only a second to notice he was going to jump in with her altogether. "NOOOOOO!!!!!" was the last thing she let out of her mouth before water entered it. When she rose to the top she glared at Link who was laughing out of his mind. "Scared weren't you?" he asked evilly. "You are so mean!" He looked at her and swam towards her from behind. He put his arm around her waist and with his free one swam to where his feet touched the sand underwater. Once there he put both arms around her and whispered in her ear, "Not as mean as you are." She turned around to look at him eye to eye and glared. "Sure your not you mean-" She was cut off when his lips made contact with hers ending her sentence with a kiss. The kiss soon intensed and both their hearts just soared.
He held her closer to him and begged for entrance to her mouth with his tongue. She complied by parting her lips just enough for him to taste her sweet taste. They explored inside each other enjoying the tender moment while it lasted. When they parted out of breath and breathing hard they just stared at each other and smiled.
END FLASHBACK
Malon closed her eyes once more and let a lonely tear slide down her cheeck. "Link" she whispered in the wind. Her snapped wide open when she heard someone's footsteps coming closer to the shore. Her heartbeat raced faster and faster as the footsteps kept approaching. ' Where are you when I need you to protect as you once promised you would.' The footsteps stopped and all was silent for a while, 'Link!' she screamed his name out in her mind....
