I thank anybody for reviewing and I hope that I get more reviews as well, this is one story that I will type to the end.

I hope you like, read and review, I want some more reviews, I just feel like it's here to be here and no one really likes it all that much. D:
--Chapter 3--
It was like a dream... no a Nightmare.
Everything, and I mean everything, was black, molding and dissinegrating. The streetlights were off and everything was fading from my eyes, deeper and deeper into the dark.
I could barely see Link, and he was standing right in front of me. Cautiously, I reached out and felt for his arm. Touching the fabric of his tunic, I wrapped my arm around his and pulled him to me. He lowered his hand to mine and continued to look around, Navi flying around to lighten some of the air around us. I looked down to his left hand and my right hand, just for a moment, seeing a small amount of light illuminate around our fingers. He didn't shrug off my hand, well he was the one who grabbed me but that wasn't going to make me let him go.
I could feel the dark consuming my eyes as I felt Link's pulse start to beat rapidly, my eyes swiftly moved to his. Glancing past him, I noticed the castle, my castle, standing high above the town only it didn't look like it used to. The walls were made out of black bricks, or something of the sort, and I could see clouds circling around the top of the towers, I couldn't even think of how this happened.
"Link!" Navi yelled, flying around our faces to try and gain our attention.
Link turned to her but I was zoned out, I didn't hear anything they were saying.
We were gone for just a few minutes, how could this have happened...?
I looked to Link for a moment, trying to find out if anything about him looked different.
I remember hearing that he had to be a certain age to be the true Hero of Time...
My mind ran through thoughts.
The sword... The Triforce... THE TRIFORCE!!!
I gasped outloud, letting my eyes widen. "Link..." My voice trembled as I tried to figure out a way to say what was on my mind.
He turned to me the moment Navi had stop talking, putting his hands on my shoulders softly. "I'm here, Zelda..." His voice calmed my thoughts, I was finally able to think straight.
"D-Do you remember the legend?" I asked him, my voice started to relax as he nodded. "I think he got it... The triforce..." I could hear Navi slowly talk.
"It'll be alright, Zelda." She fluttered to my cheek, rubbing against my skin lightly. "Link and I protected the triforce until you woke up back in the Temple."
I wasn't asleep though... Was I?
I knew Link could feel my pulse slightly slow down, but I was still thinking.
If we were gone, how long?
Links other hand extended to his sword, the master sword, and he pulled it gracefully out of the sheath. His eyes were looking through the darkness, trying to find something. His eyes scanned over the area, over and over until he gave up.
"Must have been the wind..." I heard him mumble before putting the sword back into its sheath. "I don't think we should be here... Let's leave..." Link pulled me slightly towards the exit of the market.
I was completely content with him around, but the way he was and the market, the castle, engulfed in darkness.
Where we were going, I didn't even care, Link kept me up on my feet, and it felt like he was ready to take me up into his arms, which I wouldn't mind at all. I would be able to decide if I was asleep or not, because I remember my eyes being open, blinking once or twice until I saw him again behind the blinding light.
I felt myself snap out of reality and pushed behind Link defensively, his sword out infront of him in a moment. Navi was flying around cautiously, looking to find someone... something. If anything was even there.
"There's nothing here, Link!" Her high-pitched voice called out to him.
"Are you sure, Navi? I swear I could sense something..." I heard him mumble, and he kept his voice low.
"Zelda..." He said my name with worry. "Get on my back..."
I nodded, too scared to ask any questions outloud.
What's going on? Why... Why are they so... defensive now?
I wrapped my arms around his neck from behind and let my legs lace themselves around his waist as well. He had put his arms under my legs to keep me up, letting me relax against him. I could hear his heartbeat steadily against my ear as I just pressed my skin against the back of his neck.
"Are you still tired, Zelda?" He asked me, his voice was filled with concern and worry, it made me shutter.
"A little but... I'm just wondering..." My voice trailed off as I went back to my thoughts.
"About?" He started to walk to the outskirts of town, letting the sun brighten the sky around us.
I didn't know if I should tell him what I thought, how much would he say to it, if anything at all?
"For this to have happened..." I started and closed my eyes. "We had to have been gone for some time. Even if it was just for a day, this could have happened. Right, Link..?" I tightened my arms around his neck, and I knew he could feel the worry held in my heart.
"I agree. This couldn't have happened in less then 10 minutes. It had to have been longer..." He continued to walk, to where, I didn't know.
Just take me away from this place. I can't be here anymore... I don't know... I don't know what to do, Link...
As long as I was with him, I didn't care where he took me. He would always brighten up my day, just his smile alone, but right now, I don't know if that would be of any value. Don't get me wrong though, I love his smile, he would always make me smile, but what happened to my Kingdom... I don't know what to do about it.
"Link...?" I asked, knowing I was starting to doze out, I was going to fall asleep if we didn't stop soon, not saying it was a bad thing.
"Yeah?" He turned his head to look at me but didn't slow his pace.
"Where..." I yawned just a little. "Are we going...?" I dug my nose into his shoulder, closing my eyes again, tighter then before.
"We're going to set up a camp in front of the Maln Forest. Is that alright with you?" He asked me, linking his eyes with mine.
"How is there a...?" My voice stopped as I looked to where one of his hands was pointing.
There was a tree with a couple blankets around the trunk of it. I could tell that he just wanted to be with me tonight, and I didn't mind.
"Just for tonight." He smiled to me and lightly kissed my forehead.
I nodded as Navi swiftly went into the top of the tree, now invisible to me. Link bent down, slowly and carefully, unlocking my legs around him. He rotated my body so that I was close to the ground, him overlooking me.
My eyes showed all of the worry I had felt on the way here and my arms stayed contently around his neck. Navi seemed to already be asleep since she was in the top of the tree, but who knew? Link put his hand under my chin and pulled my face to his, letting our lips meet softly.
I didn't want to pull away, so I tightened my arms around his neck, tilting my head to the side slightly. He put one of his arms around my legs and lowered me to the ground, letting my back skim across one of the blankets at the bottom of the tree trunk.
He pulled away slightly and let his breath linger along my neck before saying something in my ear. "Do you want me to le-"
I could tell what he was asking, so I quickly cut him off. "Stay with me, just for tonight..." I said softly with a kind smile. "You're enough to keep me warm." I quieted my voice. "Hold me in your arms and never let me go..."
"I never even thought about it..." He told me calmly, letting a smile grace his lips.
My body was pulled to his and lips started to lightly skim across my neck, I closed my eyes and let him, enjoying his touch. I put one of my hands on the back of his neck, feeling the smile grow on his lips. It felt so nice.
"Sleep... Zelda." He whispered, his lips brushing against my skin again as he spoke. "I promise... I won't let you go all night..." He promised.
"Don't let me go..." I said with a soft yawn, letting myself drift off to sleep.
"I promise..." he said in my ear, it was like a lullaby, just those words.
Always when I'm with him... I can't be upset... I can't... I can't be mad, he just calms me down. I'm falling for him.
I was young again, looking at the crystal clear sky above me. Slowly and sneakily, I left the garden, walking to the market outside of the castle. The wind brushed against my face and I smiled to the touch, my first time out of the castle without... Impa.
I heard rapid footsteps coming towards me, I could tell it was a horse. My eyes darted open to where the sound was coming from. I saw a brown and white horse, like a younger version of-
"EPONA! SLOW DOWN!" A young voice rang through the sky, it was so familiar.
I ran out of the way as the boy fell to the grond and the horse stopped beside me. I rose my hand up to her face and let her smell my skin before touching her fur.
"Beautiful..." I murmured as she rubbed her nose against my skin.
"Isn't she?" The young boy asked, leaning back on the ground with a smile. "Her name's Epona."
"Beautiful name, for a beautiful horse." I went back to looking at her and smiled. The words just left my mouth and the movements I couldn't control.
This was really something, but how was I supposed to control myself if this was a dream?
The young boy stood up and dusted his green tunic off, letting out a soft sigh. "My name's Link." He smiled, extending his hand to me.
I smiled as well, putting my right hand in his. I could feel the warmth of his hand against mine, or maybe it was just me.
I heard the drawbridge's chains start to clack together and I turned to the bridge, seeing it rising up to close.
"And I needed to go to the castle too..." Link grumbled, kicking the ground, annoyed.
"Can I ask... why?" I turned and looked at him, putting one of my hands on Epona's head.
"I need to talk to the Princess." He whispered, rubbing the back of his head.
"You are talking to her." I said with a smile, raising a hand to my lips to let the giggle escape my mouth. "Let me introduce myself." I said and then took in a breath. "I am Zelda, Princess of Hyrule." I bowed to him, closing my eyes.
"B-But... What? I-I... I... Wow..." He couldn't get his words straight and I giggled again.
"What's the matter, Link?" My voice came out more like a laugh then an actual question.
"Nothing. I Just... didn't think that I would find the Princess outside the castle..." He scratched the back of his head with a crooked smile, embarrassed;.
I looked around and sighed softly, then smiled again. "Well... You thought wrong."
"Do you want to ride on Epona?" He asked after a moment of silence.
"Sure. If... That's okay." I smiled to him.
He nodded and helped me onto Epona, taking her reign and walking her around the fields of Hyrule as him and I got to know each other.
I opened my eyes to the bright sunlight, letting out a soft groan from the cold of the wind. Links' arms were still locked around my in his unbreakable grasp, the warmth of his body made me forget about the cold weather.
I glanced up to Link, my arms were still wrapped around his neck securely, a smile grew on my lips. I could feel his heat on my skin.
He... He didn't let me go all night...
I moved slightly so I could rest my head on his chest, I wanted to hear his heartbeat. Just as I got comfortable, I heard him grunt.
I must have disturbed him in his sleep...
"Link..." I said in a soft, loving voice as I felt his grasp tighten on me.
He opened his eyes slightly, then closed them again, followed by opening them once more and looking down to me. He leaned down and kissed my forehead, a flash of the young boy came into my mind.
"Good morning, Zelda." Link said with a smile, not wanting to move away from me.
I didn't have enough courage to ask him about the dream I had, usually I would think about this anyway.
"Did you sleep well?" I asked him, keeping my voice soft and I closed my eyes again, feeling his lips on my forehead as he spoke.
"I did... And youself?" One of his arms disappeared around me and a hand slowly rose to my chin, pulling my head so I could look at him.
"So much better... then I have..." I whispered to him, opening my eyes so I could see his blue ones. "In the last few days."
A smile graced my lips again as he leaned in and pressed his lips to mine. We were in such a tight embrace, I could feel his and my eyes close at the same time. His lips were so soft against mine, I couldn't break the kiss, not even for air.
He started to rub my back with one of his hands and the other rested against my neck, keeping me close to him.
Slowly, he broke the kiss, only leaving little space between us.
"Can I tell you something, Zelda?" His voice was cool, calm, and so collected, like always, I couldn't deny him.
"Yes, Link...?" I kept my voice as soft as I could.
He leaned down to my ear and whispered something that made my heart stop beating, but the smile grew on my lips. I actually had to think of what to say back since it was so sudden.
"I love you, Zelda."
