A/N-Thanks for the review, spiritofwater. Just to let you know, there is a very good reason in which Chelsya is still alive. I'm not telling you why, though. It'll be later on in the story. By the way, this will be the last song fiction for quite a while, me thinks. By the way, thanks for the song spiritofwater. It helped me with finding a good song.

Link opened his eyes and sat up. What was it that had awakened him? He wasn't sure. That was when Link's ears perked up (A/N- I'm sorry, but can you picture that? Lol.) There was some sort of noise downstairs.
Link slipped his clothes on before walking down the halls. As he went along, he heard the song more and more.
"...Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life..."
The voice and the piano suddenly stopped. He heard someone groan in frustration and he turned the corner. In a room Link glanced in Chelsya sat at a piano. She seemed to be annoyed at something.
"Why can't I hit this right note?" She was muttering, pressing each key of the piano gently. "Which one is it? Which is right..." She glanced up, finally noticing Link. "Oh, um, sorry. Did I wake you up?" Link nodded.
"I thought that you couldn't remember anything." Link said plainly, indicating to the piano. Chelsya sighed in frustration, glancing at the piano.
"I don't. I couldn't sleep so I started wandering around in the castle to see if I could remember anything. I didn't. So I found this room and saw the piano. I sat down on the bench and... and I think that my mom... my mom used to play on this piano. It's just a feeling, but I felt so sad. My fingers just started playing it. My voice came along soon after..." Chelsya stood up and looked out the window.
"Link..." She whispered, turning to him. "What was I like before I lost my memory? Was I a very good person? I still don't remember anything." Link sighed, unsure on how to answer this question.
"Well... I didn't understand you. You were pretty boyish. You and I fought a lot and you had a very bad past. You... it's a little hard to explain." Link admitted, his face turning slightly red. Chelsya smiled softly at him before sitting down on the piano bench again.
"I see. Link, even though we apparently fought a lot, I think I cared for you dearly. After all, you are one of the two people that I actually remember." Link blinked and she started playing the piano again. The song was different this time. However, it was still beautiful.
"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.
Livin' in your precious memory."
"'Cause 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."
"I, I, don't wanna let you know
I, I, drown in your memory.
I, I, don't wanna let this go.
I, I, don't."
"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 still need you,
And I still miss you,
And now I wonder..."
"If I could fall into the sky,
Do you think time
Would pass.. us by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you..."
"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."
"If I could just hold you...
Tonight."
Chelsya stopped singing, a small smile on her face. "I haven't sung that since I was very young. I think I've only sung that song once, in fact. I wonder why." She stood up again and looked out the window. "The moon's so pretty tonight..."
The moon was full, round, and bright. Link walked next to her, beginning to feel sleepy again. As he glanced at Chelsya, who seemed to be not tired at all. She would be rather pretty if she didn't have such a bad attitude and didn't look like the world was out to get her half of the time. And that scar didn't help either...
Link blinked as he felt a sudden pain on his neck. He glanced over his shoulder and saw Legan standing there, her lips on his skin. However, her fangs were deep inside his skin. She surfaced for a moment and breathed in his ear, saying, "Link, Link, Link... don't you know it isn't smart to have your back turned to your enemy?"
Blood dripped down her chin and Link felt sickened. Chelsya gasped when she saw Legan, who was currently biting Link again. Link fell to his knees, feeling weak and paralyzed. Legan smiled cruelly, bringing her lips up from his neck again.
"Oh, I suppose you don't know too much about us. The people of Areu. As soon as we bite you, we exert a poison from our fangs into our victim's bloodstream. It slowly paralyzes you, making it impossible to run away. Chelsya should also be feeling the effects soon. I bit her while she was sleeping, but it took longer to effect due to some reason."
Chelsya blinked in shock. No... this couldn't be happening! Link glanced up and managed to pull a smile from his lips. He was shaking bad and his face was turning pale. Legan bit him eagerly, her eyes full of fire.
Chelsya closed her eyes. How could she help him!? Chelsya didn't have a weapon... she suddenly blinked, remembering.
"Chelsya, will you promise to never forget me?" A girl turned to Chelsya, her short hair white. "I promise that I won't forget you." Chelsya nodded, smiling. The other girl smiled softly back and turned to the White Mirror.
"This mirror... will you remember our words, too? Will you think about me? These are the questions that plague me. And I can't... I know! I know a way to keep me in your memory. Itar no gamma Hitai. It means 'love is light.' Don't forget me, okay?"
Chelsya nodded, repeating those strange new words. She glanced around, taking everything in. This would be her last moments in Areu. She stepped through the White Mirror and-
Chelsya opened her eyes, blinking slightly. That girl... she... who...? There was no time to wonder these things. After all, Link was dying. She took a breath in and said those four words. "Itar no gamma Hitai!"Legan opened her eyes in shock and let go of Link. She ran over to Chelsya and knelt down in front of her.
"Sakayana Chusai..." Legan hissed. "Princess of the Notan is coming. She is coming, my liege, for you."
A/N- Nn. I can't see anything! I broke my glasses! Review or die! Oh, and by the way. From the 14th to around the 18th or 19th I won't be updating. Sorry, I'm going camping.
