Chapter 3
School had ended; turns out I missed half of my classes. I hated that I had this stupid fall this morning; I can never explain why I fell. Oh well, at least I'm going to walk home with Link, I don't know why but being around him made me feel…happy, courageous, and…safe. Why was that? I had only met that boy just a few hours ago and it's like I already know him from before.
I walked down the crowded hallway, seeing and feeling everyone that passes by me. I look around to find Link. I couldn't find him anywhere. 'Where can he be?' I thought. 'I can't find him anywhere? A-And…why do I have this horrible feeling in my gut?'
In the cafeteria, I walked around to try and find Link. I would have thought that he would be here to meet with other people in this school before he would go to the bus. Sadly, I was wrong. He was nowhere to be found and I started to worry.
I was on my way outside the school, when I heard that there was a fight going on, on the other side of school. Two girls were starting to talk about two new boys having a fight now. I realized that those two boys must be Link and that guy we saw this morning.
"Um, excuse me. Where can I find the fight that you two were just talking about?" I asked the two students.
"O-oh Miss Zelda…it's you," the smallest girl said, blushing.
"You want to know where that fight's going on?" the other girl asked me.
I nodded, "Please tell me, now," my voice started to get weak on me. I couldn't get scared at the time like this, this guy might be Link and he could be in trouble. Wait, what is wrong with me? I barely know Link and I'm this scared about him? Something about him makes me want to go and protect him. This is actually starting to scare me even more.
"It's going to be outside behind the gym. People say that they are going to start it at 3:30 exactly. They might move the fight so they could be alone."
I looked at the clock at the hallway and it read 3:28. I had exactly 2 minutes to get to Link?!
'The gym is at the other side of the school! I have to get there by running.' I glanced down at my injured leg. 'If I run…my leg will bleed again and hurt more than before.' I glanced at the clock again, 3:29. 'I don't care…I have to get there before I'm too late!' I began to run towards the gym, I couldn't afford to stop. My heart started racing, the images of Link and that boy fighting were starting to flood my mind. I felt my blood flow to my legs from the inside and now I felt blood flowing out of my wound. The pain was agonizing but I had to continue.
"I'm coming Link!"
As I got to the back of the gym, I saw a crowd of people gathered in one spot and only one word could be heard from them. "Fight, fight, fight, fight!" the crowd roared.
I pushed through the crowd and my eyes centered to the two boys fighting. Sadly, what I thought was right; Link and that other guy were fighting. The guy was above Link punching him repeatedly at his face, as for Link…he was struggling to get free. He was trying to punch and kick the guy above him. Link was covered in blood, I didn't know who's blood was it. As I got closer, I could see that Link was losing the fight.
"Link!" I shouted.
I didn't actually thought Link would hear me because of the roaring crowd but he did. He turned his head and gazed into my eyes. His face was covered in blood, and I was horrified.
"Zelda?!" He sounded confused; I tried to go to him. "Don't come near here!" I stepped back. He really was attacking viciously. They were talking, and with my pointy ears I could hear them. "What did you do this time to get here?!" he shouted at him.
"Oh Link, you know what I want. I want revenge idiot!" 'Revenge? Revenge for what?' I thought. "I will get my revenge, you asshole! And once I'm done with you-"The guy gets close to Link's ear. "-That chick is going to be mine."
Link screams and got him off. The looks in his eyes were burning with rage. He tackled the guy and started to do the exact same thing that he did a while ago. Link made contact to the guy's face with his fists over and over. I started to tremble at the sight of this. I never thought a nice guy like Link would have this much power hidden away, let alone this much anger.
"If you ever touch her, I swear to Din, I will kill you! I will fucking kill you, you asshole!" Everyone around us starts to talk to each other. I didn't even notice what they were talking about; I was too horrified from the scene to even hear.
I couldn't watch this anymore, the anger, the rage…it was starting to hurt me. I couldn't watch Link continue to be filled by this horrible rage. I ran towards the two boys and flung my arms around Link.
"Stop it! Stop this fighting now! Please, Link stop!" I yelled. But he never heard me and continued to attack the guy. "I said stop!" I grabbed his left arm, hoping it would stop him but he elbowed me at my chest. The air was knocked out of me; the force of only his elbow was so strong. I let go of Link and fell to the ground.
The crowd around me started to scream. "Miss Zelda! Oh no, Miss Zelda got hurt! Somebody call the nurse, Miss Zelda is hurt!" They kept screaming my name in horror.
Link turned to me, and saw that I was hurt."Zelda!" he got off of the guy and ran to my side. "Zelda…Zelda say something. Please…anything." I tried to say something but my chest was hurting so badly that I couldn't even breathe. "Zelda please tell me you're okay!"
I tried too hard to keep my eyes open, but everything started to blur. I felt something wrap their arms around me. 'W-who…is that…?' I looked up and saw Link right above me. 'He…he's holding me?!' I felt so much safer; I was filling up with warmth.
"You're going to be okay, Zelda. I promise…I am so, so sorry."
I couldn't stay awake anymore. My consciousness slowly was swallowed into the darkness.
Author's Note:
It's been edited :3 Once again, I decided to merge chapter 4 and 5 to make chapter 3 a little longer. Also, about chapter 4, the reason why its taking a long time to publish is cause I want to finish it before I upload it, and I'm working on it too.
