Ok, another short one, i know. They are getting longer though. I have to get used to the story still as it can take me some time before I will start up on a long chapter. Look at the bright side, you get chappies faster :)
R&R Please. Criticism welcome!

"Ok, sleeping bag, check; sword and shield, check; food, check; water… Fuck, where's my water?!"
It was nearly midnight and Link had to leave his tree house to go fetch water because he forgot to grab some on his way back from the Great Deku Tree earlier that day. Link looked like a ghost in his white pajama tunic as he crept outside.

While he walked in the dark Link thought about where he would go, what would he do…

Deep in his thoughts, a twig snapping made Link spring into action with his… 'Shit!' he thought. Link groped around his belt for his sword. He must have left it back on his bed.

Link heard footsteps in the darkness. Someone must be watching him. Link played along and acted as if he didn't notice. He approached the river and dunked his bucket in. The cold water rushed over his hand and actually soothed him. Footsteps made him perk up again, but Link kept his cool.

Link stood up, turned around, and was immediately frozen. Saria was staring him into the face. Link jumped backwards and fell into the freezing river.

"Jeeze, Saria! Can't you just say 'hey, Link' like a normal person!?"

"You know I'm everything but normal, Link." She replied with a wink.

"Why are you out here so late?" Saria had an inquisitive look on her face.

"I could ask you the same," retorted Link.

"Hmm… Isn't that water a bit cold?" Saria changed the subject with her perky voice whilst lighting a torch.

"Oh… yea" Link had entirely forgotten that Saria had scared him right into the water.

After coming to his senses and realizing he was freezing his ass of, Link began to step out. He blushed a deep red as he climbed out of the river and 

looked down to find that in the light of Saria's torch combined with the water on his white tunic his clothes were now see-through. Saria had been watching a bug on a tree now looked at Link and giggled softly.

"Pervert," Link nearly shouted as Saria failed to advert her eyes.

Saria sweetly remarked, "I just couldn't resist," and she followed that with another wink.

Link blushed again, and Saria giggled as she turned and looked straight ahead. The two began walking together, but not back to Link's house nor to Saria's. They were just on a walk, enjoying each other's company. Saria might have stole a peek or two at Link, but he seemed to not notice.

"I guess I'd better head home, I need some rest tonight." Link knew he would need his energy for tomorrow.

"Alright, goodbye Link. I hope I get another chance to stalk you soon." Saria added her signature wink and smile.

"Goodnight, Saria," Link said while really thinking 'You are the one person I'm going to miss'.

Meanwhile:

"But Daaaaadddd…." Zelda was pleading with her father again.

"Zelda you can't leave the castle without your elite bodyguards"

"But I'm sixteen, I can defend myself!"

"No and that's final!"

"You never let me do anything I want! Why can't you just trust me for once!" Zelda sobs as she runs out of the room.



She heads straight for the bathroom to have a soak in her luxurious tub. It's so relaxing; she nearly falls asleep in the warm water. Slowly she drifts into a fantasy world.

Zelda is slowly walking along a path in a deep part of a forest. At her side young man. They are holding hands and are gracefully stepping along the path. Everything is perfect. Not a care in the world. Suddenly the boy turns and is closing in on Zelda's lips. His soft blue eyes getting oh so nearer. BANG!

BANG… a few seconds pass… BANG!

Zelda is shaken awake by the vibrations roaring through the palace. There is a knock on the door.

"Ms. Princess!"

"What the hell is going on out there?" Zelda screams in frustration.

"We're under attack! You need to get the hell outta here!" The guard at the door shouts as loud as he can, successfully getting his point across.

Zelda jumps up, grabs a towel, and starts going over the family emergency plan in her head. 'Ok… get the ladder…' Zelda grabs a makeshift ladder from the space under the bathroom sink. 'now get the hell outta here!" Zelda throws the ladder out the window and watches as it rolls down the side of the palace wall. She climbs out the window thinking 'I hope no one is looking up at me.'

Once she reaches the ground she tries to gather where exactly she is. Having not ventured outside much due to the over security her father employs, she was finding it hard to recognize anything.

Zelda figured the best way to escape would be to just head in the opposite direction of the palace. So off she went, heading out into open countryside.
