Disclaimer: I have just bought the whole Zelda franchise. Now I own it all. Haha. Not.

Zelda

I'm running through a thick forest, swerving through trees and ducking under branches, using only the small amount of sunlight that makes it through the thick foliage to guide me. This seems to go on endlessly. I can feel the slight breeze on my face and smell the wet moss growing on the trees. My lungs feel as though they're going to burst any second, but I must keep running. But I've been doing this so long that I can't remember who or what I'm running from.

Still running, I slowly look behind me to see what this unknown danger is. I see nothing but endless forest straight to the horizon, but my body won't stop moving. It's as if I have no control of it whatsoever. My heart is beating faster than I knew possible and my legs are moving at inhuman speed. Getting careless, I trip over a massive tree root, falling to the ground.

Afraid, I quickly look behind me to see if this nameless danger has caught up to me. My heart slows down and I let out a relieved sigh when I see Link running towards me, a winning smile on his face. Surely he's defeated this foe and has come to rescue me. However, moments later, another figure comes beside him, seemingly out of nowhere, and grabs his hand. I can't be too sure who it is, because the figure is draped in the shadow of a large tree. I take in its tall stature and the curves of its body. Surely it's a woman. She whispers something in Link's ear and he draws his sword. Struck with terror, I am frozen to my spot on the ground. The only thing I see before he stabs me the heart is the broad smile of the Twilight Princess.

I wake up gasping for air and I clutch my heart to slow its beating.

"Hey, what's wrong?" I hear a soft voice ask. I turn my head in the direction of its source and see Link crouching beside me, one of his firm hands placed on my shoulder.

I shake my head to try and bring my thoughts together. "Nothing," I say. "Just a bad dream."

His concerned blue eyes stare deeply into mine. "Do you want to tell me what it was about?"

"Well," I start, trying to remember everything clearly. "I was sprinting through a forest, and it seemed to go on forever. I was really scared, but I didn't know what it was I was running from. I tripped over root, and then I saw you. You were smiling and running towards me, but then another figure came out of the shadows. They seemed to just materialize out of nowhere. It looked like a woman. She whispered something to you and then you drew sword and-" I cut myself off, thinking about how realistic the dream had been.

For as long as I can remember, I've had dreams like this. Dreams where I can see, smell, hear, touch and taste everything around me as though I was living it. For the past few months, they've been dreams about a great evil and a valiant hero. Usually, I can figure out the symbolism of them easily. However, with this one, I don't understand what it could mean. Should I take it literally? Is someone going to tell Link to kill me, and will he do it? Or should I take it another way?

Link's voice quickly takes me out of my thoughts. "Did I kill you?" he asks hesitantly. I nod slowly. "And you don't know who the woman was that told me to do it?"

I think for a moment, trying to remember the silhouette of the mysterious figure. "I think it was Midna," I say finally. His eyes fill with hope but quickly turn to a look of sadness after he realizes what it means.

"That isn't good," he says, getting off the ground and pacing around the room.

"It's fine, Link. It was just a dream," I assure him, knowing it's the farthest thing from the truth.

"No, it's not 'fine'. Do you see that?" he asks, pointing to my right hand. "That's the Triforce of Wisdom. Your dreams are prophecies, Zelda."

"But they're not always to be taken literally," I counter.

"Then what do you suppose it means?" He asks, worry covering his handsome features.

"I'm not sure," I sigh, running a hand through my tangled hair. "I thought everything was over, that our troubles were gone."

"We'll just have to watch our backs from now on. Let's not get too worked up about this," he says.

"I agree," I say, nodding my head.

The sun is just beginning to rise when Impaz comes out of the kitchen with three steaming bowls of oatmeal. We eat in silence and get ready to leave.

"Have a save journey," Impaz says as we mount Epona. Link and I smile and wave good-bye. "… And Zelda," I turn around at the sound of my name to see her staring right into my eyes with a serious expression. "If you ever need anything, come straight here."

I look at her with a confused expression before replying, "Of course."

She gives me a short nod before Link spurs Epona to trot.

The day seems longer than usual. Neither Link nor I say anything, and we sit in a comfortable silence for hours.

Impaz's words continue to run through my head. "If you ever need anything, come straight here."

What could she mean by that? I wonder to myself. What could I possibly ever need so desperately that I have to go straight there? She made it seem so important… I barely even know this woman! What could I need from her that would be so important?

These thoughts are beginning to make me tired, and before I know it, my head is resting on Link's back, and I'm half asleep. When we get to Ordon, everything is basically a blur. I follow Link up a ladder into his home, he points to a bed and says something, and I'm instantly asleep, without even putting a blanket on my body.

Author's Note: Meh… shorter than I wish it would be, but whatever… So yeah, that's the edited chapter 2. Hope you enjoyed :)
