And… Sankuu to everyone else to reviewed yet again!
Enjoy.
Link's POV
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"What are you talking about? You know what I'm here for, silly!" was her reply.
I couldn't see her face, it was still dark outside, apparently, but I knew it was her, Zelda.
"No, I don't really know what you're here for. Why don't you just tell me?"
"Goddesses, you don't have to get so snippy about it. And why are you talking so much? Either way, I'm here for you, that's what… Hehe." She stepped closer as she said this. Her eyes weren't the usual striking blue, they were… white? I sat up as she sat down next to me, constantly keeping her eyes on me.
"So tell me Link, what do you want; from me, of course? What can I do for you... in exchange?" She leaned closer. We were almost face-to-face now.
"Exchange? Exchange for what? You're not making much sense, Princess."
"You don't get it? I want you… Like that."
"No, you don't. This is just a dream, I know it is. And you're only telling me what I want to hear…" I should have realized it earlier when I saw her eyes. I should have pinched myself.
"You're right, it is, and I am. But why not just go along with it?" She said, taking that weird harp out of absolutely nowhere and laying it in my lap. As soon as it touched my tunic, I had the strangest sensation. Like cold heat. And then pain, horrible pain. It was along the lines of being stabbed through the stomach by Ganondorf. Only that wasn't what was happening, and it wasn't in my stomach, it was everywhere. Iinstead of screaming like I wanted so badly to, I didn't. I sat there as the one and only princess Zelda stared me emotionlessly in the eyes. She smirked and got up to leave. To go into the dark abyss that seemed to cover the rest of the room we were in. I watched her walk away into the darkness, my eyes never leaving her.
"It's just a dream, right?" I thought. "Heh, it's not like it means anything. Just a weird dream. A dream where I know I'm dreaming." A dream that feels like you spoiled it by figuring out that it was a dream. I spoiled it.
Then, and only then did I scream.

"Eee! Link!" Zelda said in a half-yell. "You scared the heck out of me, are you ok?"
"It was just a dream, I'll be fine." I said quickly, getting out of bed.
"Are you sure? D-do… you want to talk to me about it?"
"No, I don't want to talk about it, Zelda." I said. I wasn't in the mood for talking. Especially not to her.
"Well, I want to talk to you!" She rushed over to me and before I knew it, she had her arms wrapped around my shoulders. "She's hugging me." I thought. But why?
"Link, I know you think I'm always so happy and cheery, but I'm not. I'm lonely and sad. It's all just an act. I never wanted to admit it to you, but you leave me no choice. If I kept going on like this, I don't know what would happen. I love you, and I want you to stay with me." She gushed, sobbing and getting wet tears all over me.
"Link… You will stay with me." She said coldly and suddenly.
"I have places to go and things to do. Aryll and my grandmother need me. And I need to… we need to find new land."
"That wasn't a question, Link. It was a command."

Hours later.
Zelda's POV
I had him now. Forever. He'll always be with me now. Who cares that the king wanted us to make a new kingdom? I don't, and I won't. With power like this, I can command anyone I want to find that 'new land' for us. As long as I have this harp and Link by my side, there's nothing anyone can do.
I sat back in the royal throne in the basement of the castle. I glanced over at the stained glass. They were all so… ugly compared to my little piece of art that I held in my hands. I sighed. I'd never see anything as beautiful as it, most likely. It was always cold, no matter how long a held it or played it. I stood it up in my lap and played a note. La. I sang to myself and the harp. It always listened; just like him.
"I'll name you… Shieket." A good instrument just has to have a name. And that name fit perfectly, almost eerily so. Do re me fa so la te. I sang, striking each note louder than the last.
Pluck, pluck, pluck
"Such a beautiful sound."
Pluck, pluck
"I love it so."
Pluck
"Because who else is there,"
Pluck, pluck, pluck
"For me to love?"

Also hours later.
Link's POV
"What the hell? This is the second time I've been unconscious against my will in the last two days." I thought to myself. I opened my eyes to find that I was in the dungeon, even lower than the basement throne room. I'd been held a prisoner before, but not like this. I was chained to the wall by my neck. Ouch. Figuring there was no rush to escape since the princess was obviously my imprisoner, I sat there, chained to the wall like a dog on a leash.
I began to think about the events that happened during the last two days. Ever since Zelda had found that stupid harp, strange things have been happening.
"Gee, where've I heard that one before?" It's always a weird item causing bad things to happen, isn't it? Weird. She's always carrying that thing around like-
Tip. Tip. Tip.
What was that?
Tip. Tip. Tip.
Zelda's coming…
Tip. Tip. Tip.
Oh…Sh-
"Link. What a pleasant surprise to see you down here!" She said in such an eerily cheerful way that it sent chills down my spine.
"What the heck do you mean by 'surprise'?! You put me down here!" I semi-yelled.
She was garbed in white. Everything was white, white dress, white diamond crown, white eyes. She strangely wasn't wearing shoes though...
"Hehehe, you're so silly. So naïve. So… adorable! I just want to… Oh, you know!"
"No, I don't know. And please tell me I'm not dreaming again. Seriously."
"Ahaha, you're not dreaming! This is your own little nightmare. Well, it's a nightmare for you at least. It's a beautiful dream for me…" She said dreamily.
"Zelda, what is going on?"
"What do you mean what's going on? I simply did as the harp told me; as Shieket told me. She said it's for the good of man-kind."
"Your harp has a name. Gee, where does it end? Ok, listen Zelda," I said, struggling with the uncomfortable chain around my neck "I'm pretty sure that harp has possessed you."
"Pa-sha! Like a harp can possess me! Isn't that nonsense, Shieket?" She said, looking at the harp "I know it is. What do you think, should we play now?"
She stepped forward, taking some duct tape out of her back pocket.
Why didn't I see that before?
She stuck it neatly over my mouth.
"Shhhh."
- - -
OH TEH NOSES. DON'T DO IT ZELDA.
No, don't worry… Heh. Or should you?
Rawrrr, tried to make it even longer this time. It's a semi-confusing chapter, I know… It wasn't that funny either, but I guess it might have had its moments. But you guys are the only ones that can tell me if it did xD. EITHER WAY. Errr hoped you like it. And don't worry; it will NOT get too crazy. I hope. Please review even if it's just a short "Liked your fic " I'll reply to em' all personally :3
-Paaai!
