Before I'm sued, I don't own Zelda, and since I don't have as much to say, enjoy the story!
Chapter 2
Link
"ZELDA! Talk to me please! What did I do wrong?!" Link couldn't get Zelda to talk to him, she just kept ignoring Link and walking right by him. They entered a clearing, finally, Link gasped as he sat down guessing they were done.
"And you've decided to sit down why?" Link's mouth fell open, she hadn't talked in over an hour and she wanted him to keep walking. How much crazier could she get?
"We've been walking for an hour plus and you haven't said a thing. Is there something wrong with you?" Zelda stared at him like he was a kid who had drawn all over her wall.
"Link if you haven't noticed I hate your guts, I mean think about last year when you were the only person who wasn't invited to my birthday party." Link remembered that but instead said nothing. "Do you remember that? I told Piper to tell you, you were never invited remember? You kinda crashed it?"
"Yeah that was hilarious…" Link had literally broken down the doors and pretended Gannondorf had come back again. (Something even I stupidly believed.) The smile vanished from Link's face when he saw how Zelda was staring at him. She looked confused and angry at the same time. "Yes I am aware you hate my guts… Happy now? ... Can we stop?"
"Fine, we can stop!" Zelda groaned.
"Finally… you are incredibly eager to get as far away as possible." (She had a pretty good reason to keep dragging Link everywhere… :))
"So how are you going to set this thing up?" Zelda said gesturing to the ground.
"Uh… Are you talking about setting up a camp?" Zelda glared at him.
"You know what I meant." Zelda sat down on the closest rock and watched Link stand there like a dope. "Seriously?" Link snapped back to life.
"Okay… So are you gonna help?" Link asked.
"Are you kidding? That's your problem not mine!" Zelda laughed.
"You know, it would be a lot easier if you helped!" Link began to get mad.
"You have arms and legs, that's all you need for the job." A loud crack cut through the conversation, it was Link's thumb.
"So do you! Why are you so lazy right now when a few minutes ago you insisted we kept going?!" Link shouted.
"When will you ever learn? It's easy, I'm a princess you're just a mere peasant waiting to get his chance to prove you're more than nothing when you're simply less than nothing. Nobody cares for the nobody of a story… Nobody cares about you Link! Think about it, Where's Piper?" (If only he knew…)
"She broke her promise…" Zelda smirked.
"And then what happened?"
"Daniel took over… She left us in the dust to fend for ourselves when sometimes a partner is all you need to win a battle. One week was supposed to be the time, one year is too much! We're all thirteen and if she doesn't realize what she's done in three years, maybe…" He trailed off. (To finish the thought he was going to go out and join the enemy. Being in solitary confinement really does make you go mad; Zelda's just trying to make him do that. Zelda's actually seventeen. Also everyone's almost fourteen.)
Link had been like this ever since the first year passed. They had captured Link by complete surprise and tossed him in that dark and horrible cell. Daniel often paced the door yelling comments at Link. It was chaos for all of Hyrule, nobody was safe ever.
Link looked down; he was apparently working as he talked without even realizing it! He tied the last knot and stood back, where did I get that rope? Link wondered. It looked like a trampled tree but Link didn't care that much, besides it wasn't going to last long. Zelda had been playing around with her hair bored for a while. She looked over and cocked her head.
"What is that? Some kind of trampled over mini forest?" Zelda said.
"I wasn't paying attention when I was building it okay! Besides, it's for you, I'm keeping watch." Zelda rolled her eyes at him.
"No way am I going in that thing, you can sleep in it and I can keep watch if you'd like!"
"One way or another if it rains you'll be out in the cold. See you in the morning!" Link stormed away hoping Zelda wouldn't say another word.
"I'm sorry… You've been doing your best and I've been a jerk, forgive me?" Link turned around to see Zelda sitting upright on the rock, hands folded together, and a sincere look on her face. Was she sorry? Link questioned, or is she going mad?
"Zelda are you okay today?"
Zelda raised an eyebrow. "Perfectly fine, why are you asking?"
"Oh it's just… You know the sudden mood change…" Zelda laughed as if Link had told the most hilarious joke ever.
"You're funny!"
"Ha…" Link turned around and began walking forward. The owls hooted in the complete silence making the whole scene peaceful in a strange way.
Link sat down on the cold ground and hugged his knees to his chest. Maybe Zelda was right, he thought, Piper was never coming back. Wait that was you who said that… YOU'RE TALKING TO YOURSELF!
Link stared up at the starry night sky. "Take the sights in…" He sighed. "You won't have them for very long…" He grabbed a rock from the ground and chucked it at a nearby tree where it made a loud cracking sound on the trunk, it left a dent in its side.
"Stop making so many sounds!" Zelda yelled
Why can't people stop deciding to kill people? Was it that hard to not look at something in anger…? What was Daniel's motivation anyway? He never seemed to have a reason to hate them. Then again lots of people went after Piper for her power… Motivation or not they still had to take him down… But, how was he supposed to do that? Link tossed around questions and answers all around his head all throughout the night but what he didn't ask, that he couldn't even say in his mind was what was Piper thinking and what was she up too?
Link plopped on to his back lazily and closed his eyes; everything's exactly the same, right?
Piper
"Pit, wait up!" Piper said as she lagged behind him. They had walked all the way to Piper's house and were now half way up her incredibly long driveway. Pit looked back at Piper as she fell to the ground.
"I guess I shouldn't have made you run the first mile!" Pit laughed.
"I... am exhausted. Why did you make me do that?!" Piper complained.
"So I could have an excuse to do this!" Pit practically tripped Piper into his arms and carried her down the driveway.
Pit dropped Piper back on to the solid ground, she fell over but Pit caught her before she fell face first into the stairs.
"Thanks for the dinner, kind of, that food was horrible." Piper laughed.
"Can't disagree on that, should've gone higher in my price range." Pit said.
"So... You gonna go home or what?" Pit zoned out starring at the stars but what he was picturing was that note he had in his hand.
"Pit, what's wrong?" He flinched.
"Sorry, uh, take this but, read it when I leave." Pit handed Piper the messy note which she opened. "Or now, either way is fine..." Not a good listener. Pit noted in his head.
The note read,
I don't get what happened earlier but all I know is I'm not in the place I started.
Piper was shocked as she skimmed it before beginning to thoroughly read it again. Pit and Piper hadn't been able to remember what their past memories were, this seemed to have been written during the time in between when she left and a few days ago when they both found their selves dazed and confused lying far away from each other in a field. Everything didn't make sense.
One day we're all a group the next I can barely remember what's happened over the course of a year. If I forget everything I've ever known will this note even make a chance of any sense? Whatever just, go back to Hyrule and stop Gh
"Mystery huh?" Piper said. Pit's mouth was open.
"Why did I never read it? I could've figured it out by now!" Pit banged his head up against the glass door.
"Who's Gh?" Piper pointed out.
"Think, whose name starts with that in Legend of Zelda?" Pit said.
"Ghirahim, I thought Skyward Sword was a locked game because to evil spirits in the game were so incredibly smart..." Piper wondered. (That didn't make sense, a locked game is a game nobody can leave or enter because if the antagonist of the game got out it would end horribly, he had broken out before.)
"Then think again." Pit leaned up against the railing. "This will never ma~" The door opened and slammed Pit in the side of his face. "Ow!" The door swung back and Piper saw a big red mark on the side of his face.
"Mm... Might want to leave." Piper's mom came out looking quite angry at her.
"See you tomorrow, happy birthday!" Pit smirked.
"Why do people say that when it's not your birthday!" Piper turned around to see her mother still standing in the doorway.
"I know I'm way past curfew. What's my punishment?"
"Go inside and tell me what time it is, now!" Piper was shocked at how loud her mother yelled at her.
Piper walked inside and locked at the clock, her mouth fell open in complete shock.
"What time is it?" Piper looked sadly at the clock and slowly managed to say it.
"Three o'clock a.m..." Piper waited for her outburst.
"You are five hours after your curfew! What's your excuse?!" She yelled.
"We walked home for a really long time..." This didn't satisfy her. "We were kicked out of the restaurant." This was true, they had said that the food was terrible loud enough for a family of eight to get up and leave. Piper saw her mother's face go from angry to complete frustration.
"Two reasons for me to take away your party!" Piper began playing with her curly brown hair with anxiety creeping up the back of her neck.
"But my fourteenth party is like two years until my sixteenth! That's a milestone!" Piper giggled about what she just said, it really wasn't.
She wanted to tell her mom she couldn't have the party canceled because they were leaving then but if she did the party no matter what it would be canceled. Piper jolted her head up, she didn't tell Pit when they were leaving.
"Hey actually I think you read the clock wrong!" Piper motioned at the clock when her mom turned her head. The time changed to ten o'clock but her mother wasn't fooled by the trick. "I know about your magic..."
"Since when did you know about it?" Piper said a little hint of nervousness in her voice.
"You disappeared for over four years; five more days would've made it five years." Piper's mother said.
"No, I've only been here for a year! Two in five days like you said." Piper said.
"No you haven't, you came back two days ago!" Piper was utterly confused, did everyone know about something she didn't?
"Do you know what Gh is the beginning of?" Piper said hopeful that she could get an answer.
"How am I supposed to know all about your stories?"
Piper sighed. "Nevermind, it's nothing..." Piper walked away until she heard a knock on the door. She opened it to see Pit still standing there, far away from the door. "Safety precaution or something?"
"What if I slammed the door in your face?! You have no idea how much that hurt!" Pit said. "Are you still having the party?"
"I'm seriously not sure about if I am or not so, don't ask again." Pit suddenly zoned out again this time looking straight at Piper's face.
Pit
I zoned out, (You already know that, good writing Pit.) looking straight at her although I wasn't actually thinking about anything at all. All I can remember is another smack from the door against my head and a hazy black blur, but what happened before? (Guess...)
