Chapter 6

Enjoy!

I lied on my bed, staring up at the ceiling. I suddenly felt cold, so I tugged on my blanket and curled in it. I rolled my eyes to the clock in my bedroom. "11:51," I mumbled. I rolled on my side staring at the ground with my right arm falling down towards the ground. I glanced over to the three triangles. Every day I daydreamed about Link… and exactly seeing him. His dirty blonde hair, his sparkling sharp blue eyes, his genuine smile, and his soft tone whispering in my ears. I sat up on the bed slowly staring out the window that was now fogging up. "I want to see him…" I mumbled to myself.

There was a path leading to the fields. It has trees guiding the path, and a whole bunch of beautiful wild flowers. The flowers in the winter time right now still haven't bloomed though. This path is the path I take to the castle, of course. Thinking of the castle… makes me think of Romani? Is she O.K. in this weather…? I've never actually seen her all the way down here, unless with Malon? This weather was unusual. I glanced to the ground and back to the window. "Is Romani… still out there?" I asked myself.

Panicky, I grabbed my black cape and drove it around my body and over my head swiftly. I then quickly pulled my green scarf, and tied it around my neck. I quickly went outside and into the pen, to get my horse, Mila. I led her outside. I stared anxiously at the horse which was staring at me with my same deep feeling; it was like the horse was able to read my own thoughts and feelings. I gave her a carrot with a pet. I smiled, and climbed on the horse.

I stared towards the path with thought, I was worried. Breaking my thoughts, a whirling wind hit my face, as it howled through my ears leaving me shivering a bit. I kicked the horse and I went flying to find Romani… hopefully. I still had a bit of confidence, that wasn't taken over by fear. The fear of death.

Hyrule field was a large open land. Everywhere you looked there was beauty in any type of weather. In spring, the flowers and plants bloomed… many colors appear, many animal, including bugs. The sky and it clouds make a beauty of imagination. In the summer, it's hot, but the trees make it nice to relax in the shade… it can be especially hot because there isn't one cloud in the sky. It is a beautiful touch of blue, the sky. In autumn, the trees leaves turn into a whole bunch of beautiful colors, such as red, orange, yellow, a dark purple, brown, and a light green. Then… there was winter, the plains are scattered with white fluffy flakes, the water is frozen into ice. The trees no longer have leaves, but snow on the branches. It may seem gloomy, but I find it fun! Besides when winter comes along, I actually have a theory for it. Everything is beautiful throughout the year, even in summer it's rain… just like the snow, and it may seem like a pile of gloom. The winter and little bits of rain… make beauty and happiness later on. Like the rainbow, after every storm.

The wind and snow blew in my face as I glanced around for Romani. I supposed Romani would just go to Castle Town, and back to the ranch, so I headed toward castle town to begin.

Castle town was quiet, probably because everyone was inside their homes to keep warm. Usually from the outside, before you even are on the bridge to get there… there is always loud music playing, and you can hear some of the voices shouting. I wasn't on the bridge; I was in front of it with my horse. I turned my horse around and headed toward Lon Lon Ranch, in hope to find Romani.

On the path toward Lon Lon Ranch, I still had some hope left, but I really was on my edges right now… I really hope I wouldn't be late. My horse neighed as I kicked it to move faster. Faster toward Lon Lon Ranch, I found carriage coming into view. My eyes widened feeling up with hope… it was only possible if this was the carriage that carries Romani in it.

I filled up with more and more and more hope, as I got closer. A grey horse came into my view. I tugged my horse back to make it stop. I jumped off the horse running in the thick snow over towards the carriage. I entered in the carriage finding Romani all curled up in a ball hugging her own self. I went up to her; laying a hand on her... to my surprise she opened one of her eyes. "Z-Zelda," She mumbled. "Am—I dying?" She asked. My eyes widened. Quickly in fear, I took my black cape, and my green scarf off. I wrapped the black cape around her, and tied the green scarf around her neck. I shivered, I felt really cold. "No—not yet, not at all… not when I'm here." I said. She smiled. I stared at her. "We cannot go to the ranch yet, it's too cold." I said in the softest way. She nodded, and I drove the horse as quickly as possible to the house. I didn't worry about Mila; she was smart enough to follow me back.

I didn't care for being cold right now, I cared for Romani. Link must be in danger; if Malon had to have Romani go herself… isn't Romani eleven? I glanced back at Romani every once in a while to make sure she was okay. She was usually snuggled up in the oversized black cape for her. The black cape was practically like a blanket for her, at her size.

My house wasn't too far away; it also made it faster by me hitting the horse a lot. I picked Romani up, and quickly carried her in the house and placed her in a chair in the dining room. I threw a log in the fireplace, and began making some hot chocolate. While in the quick moving and not even thinking thought, Romani broke me, "Th-Thank you," I slowed down my pace and stared at her. I smiled with a nod. I finished the hot chocolate, and poured it in two cups. I handed one to her, and sat across from her.

Romani looked down, "I'm stupid…" I stared at her, "What? Why would you say that?" I asked. "Malon told me to go to your house if things are bad…" She sobbed. I smiled a little, "Romani… I used to make the same mistakes…" I looked up. "I still kind of do…" I chuckled. She nodded up to me, "You do? I thought adults are so much smarter, especially you." I looked down to her, "You won't do it again though… right?" I asked. She shook her head up and down with a smile. "No—it was scary…" I smiled, and drank some of my hot chocolate. "That's good!" I said. We both drank our hot chocolate. I didn't know but… something told me… that Romani was in trouble, I don't know what exactly it was. A miracle? The weather? A secret message being told to me? I have no idea.

I glance over to clock reading 12:14 P.M. and I nodded to Romani. "Is Link, okay?" I asked. Romani took a sip from her mug, "He should be okay, I mean Malon has knowledge to take care of him." She took another sip. "What happened to him?" I asked. Romani looked up, "Well my cat went missing, and we found him… somebody must've hurt him badly, I mean he was bleeding like bad." I was horrified. "Some…body?" I asked. She nodded. I looked at her. "When you're done with that, I'm going to take you back home!" I said. Romani nodded.

She finished her hot chocolate, and I quickly washed the two mugs. I then pulled Romani into my bedroom. "Your bedroom is very pretty!" She exclaimed. I smiled, while rummaging through my closet, "Thanks," She was sitting on the bed. I pulled a blue scarf and a blue cape; I also pulled some pink mittens and pink earmuffs out. I handed them to her. "Here put these on, and we'll go." She nodded, and I went into the other room grabbing my black cape, and green scarf putting them on.

"Ready!" She jumped into the room looking so adorable. The blue cape was mine when I was younger, including the mittens, and the earmuffs. It also fit her perfectly. I smiled, "let's get going." We went outside, and Romani got in the carriage, I got on my horse. We went on to Lon Lon Ranch, with me riding my horse beside the carriage.

Thanks for reading! : )
