A Link and Zelda Romance Fan Fiction

Chapter 2 – Sneaking Out

As Link paced back and forth in his small tree house he tried to formulate a plan. He had to talk Zelda out of this crazy idea. He had nothing to offer her! She's a princess; she doesn't belong in this small peasant town. After he tossed plan after plan out the window he grimly realized what a big mistake he had made.

One- even if he brought her to his home, she would have nowhere to sleep. He didn't even have a bed! He normally slept on a blanket! Two- there isn't much to do in the small village and he spends most of the day at work herding goats. When he doesn't have work, he has to set an example and babysit all the little kids. 'Does Zelda even like kids?' Three- if he was caught before he could convince Zelda to return home, he would be charged with kidnap and be beheaded before the entire city of Castle Town!

He realized with dismay that he would have no other choice but taking back the offer. He knew it would hurt them both but it was for the best. He exited the small hut, descended the ladder, mounted Epona, and trotted towards Hyrule Castle. When he arrived at the stone structure he hid his horse within a nearby thicket and walked up to the barricade.

Taking out his claw-shot, he aimed for some vines hanging from the top of the wall. The hook released and latched on, flinging Link high into the air. Clinging desperately to the vines feeling weaker than usual he thrust himself up and over the wall. He repeated the process except this time his aim was for her majesty's veranda.

When he climbed over the railing and in through the sliding glass door he found she want in her quarters. 'Zelda must still be at dinner' Link thought to himself. He decided to hide in her walk in wardrobe in case the guards escorted her back. So Link waltzed around the large closet and looked at the intricate dresses. There were so many colors his head started spinning. 'How does she pick out clothes in the morning without getting sick.' he queasily thought. He sat down and waited, and waited… and waited.

By now an hour – maybe longer had passed and the princess still had yet to return. He was now worried and as he was about to leave he heard "STOP FOLLOWING ME AND LEAVE ME ALONE!"

'Zelda… only she could scream like that' he chuckled but the chuckling ceased when he heard sniffling. She was crying. His princess, his only love was crying. He stepped out into the room, and there she was. Sprawled out across the bed, quite un-lady-like. 'But sort of cute' he thought.

Zelda looked up and saw him but instead of gasping she said "Hi Link." She said it totally nonchalant- as if he appears out of nowhere all the time.

"Zelda what happened? Why are you so upset?" Link asked a look of sympathy clear on his face.

"They sent a guard to watch us. Earlier- we were being spied on. They overheard our plans Link." Zelda said with more tears brimming in her blue eyes.

"Link you have to go. The spy fed his information to my dad. You are no longer permitted on castle grounds, and I am no longer permitted out." And with that she burst into hysterics. "I can never see you again!" she shouted.

Link - still not completely contemplating what was going on – finally understood. A look of sheer terror clashed with his normally soft features. Ever since he was five, he always tried to block and shove away the pain of losing a loved one. Now it was happing all over again. No he said. "No, no, no, no, no, no!" Not after what happened to his parents. He would never lose someone close to him again- at least not without a fight.

"Zelda, no you can't let your father do this to you… to us! We can flee back to my village. We can disguise you! If they catch us we will run somewhere else!" Link was shaking her shoulder now trying to convince her to run.

"Do you really think we can do it?" Zelda asked with uncertainty.

"Yes. I know we can." Link said with a determined smile. In a moment the world seemed to stop and her lips were on his in a passionate kiss. Frozen in his reverie, Link failed to notice Zelda dashing around the room this way and that- packing a small suitcase that she, Link, or Epona could carry with ease. When she was finished they made their escape the same way Link always came in.

They jumped onto Epona and sped off toward Links hometown, leaving all doubts behind them. Now the adventure begins.
