Love me, that's all I ask of you….(Disclaimer: This little quote is from The Phantom of the Opera)
Link gazed towards the horizon of the endless night of Hyrule. "Sometimes the night or day in this country seems endless…and sometimes it seems like it all ends too quickly…" Malon stared at Link's sad expression and then her eyes slowly traveled to where they had orbed to in that bright light. The place brought back so many memories…too many. She followed Link's eyes from the stars in the sky to wall that divided the beautiful waters of Lake Hylia from the rest of Hyrule.
"From the way that you say things, it would seem that you suffered a loss in this place." Link looked down at Eleanor and forced a smile. "In a way, I did Eleanor. In a way…I did. You see this girl, she was wonderful. I loved her with all my heart, the princess of my heart…until you that is." Malon raised her dainty eyebrows as he went on talking about his princess. "She was the only girl who loved me for who I was on the inside not just for being who everybody else knows. She knew me inside and out, but then…something went wrong…my royal blood got in the way and in some form it brought me to you. In that sense I am glad." Malon tilted her head and with a mischievous smile she asked," And was this girl also a princess? Was she the Princess of this place?" Link smiled still in his memories, "No, she wasn't royalty…to the world, but she was for me." Malon began to feel uncomfortable, she wasn't sure if he was talking about her or not, yet something inside her told her that he was. With a more serious face and less jealousy in her tone she continued, "What was her name?" Link snapped out of his train of thoughts and looked down at Eleanor.
He took her by the shoulders and leaned in to kiss her but she stopped him. "If this is your way to change the subject beloved it is not going to work. I want to know, what was her name?" He smiled at her and shook his head, "That's not important now Eleanor, what is important is that that is all in the past and that whatever happened is not going to change." Eleanor eyed him with disgust and pushed him away. Link just stared at her in shock. "How do you know it's in the past for her? I mean, if you loved her so much why did you let your royal blood get in the way? How do you know that she still isn't out there waiting for you to come back?" Her eyes began to water and she turned away from Link giving him her back. He took a step towards her and put his arms around her. "Why does this take such an affect on you? Are you her?" he asked sarcastically. Malon raised her face from her hands were she was sobbing immediately and turned towards him with anger, "How dare you ask me such a thing-" "Why did this make you so angry at me? I saw your face, it held so much hate towards me. What did I do to you to hate me so much? Did you meet this girl? Did she tell you everything her way!" He was grabbing her by her shoulders again and began to shake her entire body as he yelled out in her face.
Malon gathered all her strength and tore away from his grasp. "You did EVERYTHING to me! You did it all!" Link stared at her in disbelief, her panting the only sound in the dead quiet lake. "You did it all…you…we…we had it all. Love, you loved me! Or so I thought but then you left me! Why? WHY! I just wanted to know why! But no, not even that was answered for me. I spent months…MONTHS changing my love into hate! After your little wedding announcement my ranch was attacked by soldiers looking for the generals of YOUR kingdom. I was then kidnapped, taken to your castle, harassed by YOUR father, which later tried to kill me when he sent me with soldiers to the woods so that they would do it, but luckily one of them saved me. He sent me in a certain direction that led me to a little village but by the time that I made it to the road that would take me there I nearly died from starvation! All I have had since then is luck! There was a kind lady that helped me when she found me lying there near death. But then I find you that she is the dear King's cousin and they want me to replace their daughter! Who by the way if you haven't noticed looks exactly like me!" Link was too in shock to respond, he watched her trembling body fall to the ground sobbing.
"Still…the why…it's been on my mind always…" She looked up at Link and with all the sadness in the world in her voice she asked, "Why? Why did you leave me…for another?" His feet seemed to move on their own towards her but in his mind he wanted to run towards her, grab her and kiss her, hold her and embrace her like the worlds never ended for him. Yet in all his years as the hero of Time he was afraid. Afraid to get near her and touch her only to have her reject him and push him away. And now, two feet away from her, he kneeled but stayed quiet. He looked at her, her head once again facing the ground, her hair covering every inch of her face. He took her hands in his, no reaction from her, and without him noticing his tears also began to fall. One of them hit her hands that got her to look up at him. Now, eye to eye, he swallowed hard, took a deep breath and opened his mouth. "I left you….to save you…-" "Oh please stop right there. You left me to save me? All that I EVER wanted was to be with you! To share my life with you! That day at the market place, with everyone around me, I felt like a complete fool! A fool of love, your love! Oh the sweet words that you whispered in my ear had become venomous lies dripped into my ears like acid! All the embrace and soft caresses became like the embrace of a scaly hideous dragon with no other purpose than to kill me from the inside out! I hate-no I despise you! Now take me BACK!"
Link fell upon his back as she pushed him away; he stared at her eyes wide in shock. His lips parted, dry and unable to say a word. Moments later he came to, and stood up holding out his hand for her to take it and with his other he searched for his ocarina. He held it up almost to his lips when he paused and turned his head to look at Malon. "Malon…" She looked at him, a raging fire still in her eyes. He cringed at her stare, "Don't say anything. I do not want to hear anymore of your dirty words. If anything the only reason I dare touch you, embrace you, or even kiss you is because I am doing this for the King and his Queen. Not because of me, because if it was for me I'd spit on your face turn on my heel and head back home NEVER to see your sorry pathetic being EVER AGAIN! Now take me to the castle!" He turned away from her tears streaming from his eyes and played the tune to take her back to Noreyes. In a beaming stream of light they floated away, far from Hyrule, 'Far from home…' thought Malon.
-------IN HYRULE CASTLE-----------
"He was here….but why? He's gone again…..where?" Zelda turned away from her window and sat on her bed. "Why would he come back only for a brief moment…why? Unless….no I don't know what I'm saying now. I must….think now of a new way to help Ingo with the rebuilding of his ranch. I wonder what happened to Malon. I hope that nothing bad happened to her. Please Goddesses wherever she is I wish that she is well." She laid on her bed and closed her eyes. "Tomorrow will be a better day…I hope."
-------AT THE NOREYES CASTLE WITH FIORY---------
He looked about the small space he was in and tried to think of a way out. His head ached so much it was hard for him to even remember how he got into that small space to begin with. "Now let's see….it's dark….there's dresses…and cloaks….and shoes…..and a AAAHHH!" He fell back into the dresses and knocked a bunch of them of the hangers. He poked his head out of the mound of dresses and crawled toward what had scared him. "Oh……….bloody mirror…ok this is obviously a closet but where's the door?" He stood up and began to feel around the walls for a door. He smiled when he felt the door handle but stopped before he turned it when he saw a bright light coming from outside. He put his ear to the door to see if there was anyone out there and heard muffled footsteps.
Malon began to walk away from Link when he reached over and pulled her back to him by the arm and locked her in a kiss. A heavy passionate kiss that held both hatred, but above all love. As their lips parted, their breath heavy and panting, they stared at each other; he grabbed her face with his fingers and kissed her once more. "I did not leave you, because I didn't love you. I left you because my father threatened me with your life if I did not do what he said. But, it seems that no matter what I did he meant to kill you. All I can do is say that I am sorry but I know that that is not enough. I can offer you my heart, bleeding in pain and weakly beating; I can offer you my life and my soul, if you'll just forgive me, my sweet. Malon…my only love." She stopped kissing him and stared at him, slowly looking away she took in a deep breath walked away from him. "I….don't know what to say…I…need to think about…this." She turned to face him, the light from the moon reflecting on her skin, her hair half in shadow, her eyes still glistening with tears. Link walked towards her and kissed her forehead. "We can stop him, all he wants is this kingdom, but together, you and I, can stop him and live out happy together…forever." Malon scoffed and turned away from him, "Link…you still don't know….there is no such thing…as forever. Nevertheless, I need time…" looking at him again she reached for his face with her hand but stopped half way, "heh…this still seems so unreal….finally the truth…finally your love pleading for mine's forgiveness…finally you here……..with me" She embraced him and cried into his chest. "I love…I do. I love you, I-I adore you but I still…I need to-"Link held her away and looked deep into her eyes. "I will give you the time you need…I-
------WITH CRISTOPHER THE KING OF OSIRIAN-----
"All my silly little plans are coming to a perfect ending and leading into a new beginning. I as the ruler of Osirian, Noreyes, and Hyrule. The three most powerful kingdoms in the WORLD! Not even Ganondorf himself could have thought of accomplishing all of this with my stupid kid's wedding to the poor ranch girl pretending to be princess. Speaking of that stupid wench…what am I going to do with her? She's more of a nuisance than a help….maybe I'll tell that miserable kid Terry to do away with her. Or I could call up one of my Generals and in doing so also prepare my legions for war with Hyrule!" He turned to face himself in the mirror and smiled psychotically. Looking at himself he took a deep breath, combed back his hair with his hand and straightened out his cloak with his hands. "Now, now Chris, do not get ahead of yourself. First do away with the wench and then plan your war.
-----With Malon and Link------
Fiory burst out from Malon's closet and stood speechless as did Link staring at him in disbelief. Malon gasped, "Fiory!" Link turned from Malon to Fiory and slowly began to back away from her. His gaze grew cold as he kept stepping away from her, "You need time…" He said dangerously low, "Clearly you need no time to have a man in your closet waiting for you to return…now I see…time. I think it is my turn to be the one with resentment towards you." He chuckled, "There I was, like a fool, pouring my heart to you and you already had someone else. I never thought of you this low Malon…but now, I think that his tie to this Kingdom is the only thing that will bring me anywhere near you." Malon began shaking her head at his words, tears flowing out of her eyes, "No! Please Link, I-I can explain, It's not what it looks like please! Believe me, this is not what it seems-"Link turned his back to her and took out his hook shot, with a quick jump he was out of sight. Malon ran to the balcony and searched for him with a blurry vision. Finding him nowhere in sight, and rendered helpless she fell to her knees and cried out…"Link, I don't want to loose you again! LINK!"
