Here's chapter 5 Nya~!
I DO NOT OWN ZELDA OR IT'S CHARACTERS!
Chapter 5 start
"What's your condition?"
"I get to go where I want, when I want."
The king sighed and David laughed.
"She's as stubborn as a mule James. There's no use arguing."
"You put up with her for ten years!? How did you do it David?"
"Well I'm going to explore the castle, and, with Link at my side he can protect me from any monsters," I did quotation marks with my fingers.
I grabbed Link's hand and walked out of the sanctuary. I sneaked a wink at Impa. I heard her chuckle. Link and I walked around. I started getting uncomfortable when everybody kept bowing and murmuring princess. I think Link could tell because he quickly took me by the hand and rushed toward the back of the castle. As we neared the back gate I saw the wide open plains of Hyrule. I was stricken with home sickness for the first time. Suddenly I was lifted by the waist and was put on that wonderful I had seen before. Link climbed on behind me and started galloping.
"How about a little tour of Hyrule?" Link asked me with a big grin.
"I would love that," I said as I smiled at him.
We ended up at this weird hill place. As we rode in through the narrow entrance I saw a beautiful girl with dark blue eyes and long flowing red hair. I was panic stricken as a wave of envy washed over me. What if this girl was Link's girlfriend?
Link got off the horse then offered me his hand. I slapped away.
"I'm perfectly capable of getting off a horse!" I snapped.
"This is Malon. Her father is the owner of this ranch," Link informed me brushing off my previous comment.
"Welcome to Lon Lon Ranch!" she said enthusiastically, "How about we get you changed," she said pointing to my semi ripped dress.
Dang. Oh well I'll just sew it up later.
She walked me to the house and up to her room. She said something about us being the same size then pulled out a pair jean shorts with a white spaghetti-strap shirt. She then gave me a red with pink plaid patterned blouse with some working boots, they were actually quite cute. I started changing once she finally left the room. I put the clothes on but wore the plaid blouse tied in a knot. It was like a cropped shirt. I then put my hair in braided pigtails. Part of my bangs were short so they were out at the side of my face. I was about to walk out of the room but right as my fingers touched the doorknob I heard Link and Malon talking.
"Who is she Link?" I could barely hear them, I pressed my ear to the door.
"That's Zelda remember? The princess of Hyrule?"
"No way! So what did the king make you her personal body guard?"
"Yeah it's her and no he didn't. She was getting uncomfortable with everybody treating her like royalty. So, I thought it would make her feel better to go for a ride. So I put her on Epona and off we went." I smiled to myself and I could just feel him grinning too.
"Make her feel better?! You brought her here a mess! Her poor dress! I bet it looked beautiful on her!" I stifled a giggle at her astonishment.
"She sure was…" I heard Link trail off. I wish he would say more but only silence followed. I then heard them travel down stairs.
I took this as my queue to open the door. I put my hand on the doorknob and walked out the door. I leaned on the railing that guarded you from falling. I signaled two fingers like a cadet when I saw them look up.
"Hey y'all," I said.
I saw Link's jaw drop and Malon started giggling. I looked down at my shorts; they were a little short. I started walking down the stairs.
"What's wrong Link? Re-dead got you tongue?" I said as I giggled lightly.
"Jeez girl, I wanted to make Link blush, not out-burn the sun!" I heard Malon burst out into a fit of laughter.
I looked at Link's face; it was almost as red as Malon's hair. I brushed it off.
He has a girlfriend. Remember that! I kept telling myself.
"Malon can I borrow a horse?"
"Sure, I got the perfect one!"
She led me to the stables. We passed by stall after stall. All the horses were nice but I felt awkward. She led me to the last stall. In that stall was an orange horse with jet black hair. Its eyes were like the moon, crystal and clear.
"Here's your horse m'lady." Malon said, "Her names Stardust."
"She's perfect." I said as I slowly, so I didn't spook her, started to brush her mane.
"That's amazing," I heard Malon gasp.
"What?" I asked dumbfounded.
"You're the first person she's let come within five feet of here let alone touch her. It's like she's fated to be your horse." We both looked at each other then bursted into laughter.
"That was really corny!" Malon said between laughs.
"It truly was." I sighed, "I would never be allowed to laugh like this at home."
"Why not?"
