A/N- Thanks for the reviews, omegarulesall and The-Saiyan-From-Hyrule. I've never done a cliffhanger before, so I guess that I did a good job on it.

PLEASE READ: I have a poll.

Disclaimer- Do I really need to say it?

"Now, Princess! DIE!" Vaati screamed, pointing the staff at her. A black beam came from the staff and...

Malina covered her face with her arms, squeezing her eyes tightly shut. Her life flashed before her. Malina braced herself for impact, but none came. When she opened her eyes again, there was someone in front of her.

Daysin felt shock come over himself as he realized what he had just done. He had used his cloak, the same one that Vaati had given him. It had been given a spell to shield anything that was thrown at it. It was very powerful, and now he had used it against Vaati.

"Tura!" Vaati shouted, making his way through the crowd to the two. "I would have expected this from the pig, but you?! I knew that your father had made a mistake when he married that woman! It was putting the most opposite of elements together! I had always thought that you were staying beside me, but your stupid mother...!"

Tears entered Daysin's eyes and he knelt down. "Vaati... Vaati, can you ever forgive me? I am not sure why I protected her... I just did... please, Vaati, you must forgive me!" Vaati's face was still furious, but when he spoke it was calm.

"Tura. Do you remember three years ago, to this very date, I promised you that I would always forgive you. And I will. But you must kill the Princess because you rid my chance to do so." Daysin's eyes widened at this, but he kept his face to the ground as he spoke.

"Vaati, please! Anything but that... I cannot kill the Princess. I would rather kill myself..." Malina felt her bottom lip tremble as she watched this. She didn't want to die, but at the moment it seemed to be her or him. Malina was now unsure about what to call him since he was obviously not on her side. He could have been lying for all that she knew.

"Fine then. I shall allow her to not die by your, but by..." He seemed to hesitate for a moment by the look on Daysin's face. "I shall allow her to die by the natural elements. We shall let her die by the hands of nature, not my own."

Daysin quickly nodded. "Master, I shall take her to the woods. I shall make sure to get her lost. Please, Master." Malina felt slight annoyance at this and tried to speak out against it all. However, Vaati aimed the staff at her and Malina became silent again.

"Tura, do as you will. Take the Princess away. But if I ever find out that she's alive, I'll take both of your heads and stick them on poles. Then I shall put them near the Hylian flag as proof of what happens when you disobey someone with much more power than you." Daysin nodded slowly, biting his bottom lip. He then turned to Malina and grabbed her hand, pulling her away.

Malina looked back once to see Vaati. He was creating a sort of black sphere over his head. He threw it at the crowd and- the door shut behind her. Malina glanced up at Daysin, if that was his name, and saw that his once red eyes were filtering back to their beautiful purple color.

"Please, Princess, I am very sorry." He whispered, turning away from the small girl. "But I must ask that the moment I let you go that you never seek me out again. To lose you... it would be as bad, if not worse, as losing my father."

"Wait!" Malina cried, grabbing his arm. "Please, can't you tell me what's going on? I must know what..." When Daysin turned to the young Princess, his eyes were full of pain and hurt. Malina trailed off upon seeing the look on his face.

"Please, Princess. This is making it harder for me to let you go. If my Master even finds out that I even considered letting you go..." Daysin shuddered at the thought. "Anyway, come along, Princess. We must hurry and get you away from here." Daysin took her hand loosely and lead her away.

Malina followed, sighing. Her first love had turned out to be one of her worst enemies. How depressing. She had thought that... ah, what was the point anymore?

Finally, the reality of the situation hit her. The castle had been taken over by the villain and the Princess was going to be killed. It was not the most lovely of prospects. So, she was finally getting the adventure that she had wanted.

Daysin's lovely voice awoke her from her thoughts. "Princess, which horse is yours?" Malina realized that he had led her to the stables. Malina walked over to one of the stalls and peered inside. There stood Lait, not in any noble fashion, but asleep.

"Lait!" Malina cried. "Lait! Wake up! Please, Lait!" The horse opened it's eyes after a moment and sleepily tromped over to her. Malina took her annoying high heels off and removed her circlet, putting it in a bag on Lait's side. She then turned to Daysin, her face grim.

"Now I'm ready. Let's go." Any feelings of happiness, or even perhaps love, were long since past. Malina felt that love was not for her, or at least not right now.

Daysin nodded and jumped onto his black horse which was only a few stalls down. He felt some anger in himself as he glanced at the girl that he loved. It was obvious that he was now nothing in her eyes. Yet, that didn't matter. As long as she was safe... that was all that mattered to Daysin right now.

Malina looked up into the now dark sky. Upon the horizon the moon was rising, a blood red color. She felt cold go into her and she sang a song to feel better. However, it was softly and it was only the first part of it.

"Makin' my way downtown,
Walkin' fast,
Faces pass and I'm homebound."

"Starin' blankly ahead,
Just makin' my way,
Makin' a way through the crowd."

"And I need you,
And I miss you,
And now I wonder..."

"If I could fall into the sky,
Do you think time
would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you...
Tonight."

"It's always times like these
When I think of you,
And wonder if you ever think of me."

"'Cause everything's so wrong
And I don't belong..."

Malina stopped singing and quickly sighed. It was no use and no comfort. She looked up again and closed her eyes. Maybe everything would be alright. Maybe someone would come and save her. And maybe Vaati knew how to make a picture of Zelda with macaroni art.

A/N- Sorry about the crappy chapter. I couldn't think of anything really good for this chapter, and I wanted to end right there so you wouldn't have to deal with the crappiness of it all. Anyway, R&R and no flames.
