A Visit
A/N Yep, I'm back. I was about to discontinue this story, but after reading some other LoZ fanfics and getting some 'inspiration' (looks around nervously), I decided to continue this. Anyway, review the story dammit!
Disclaimer: If I did own Legend of Zelda, do you think I'd be telling you that I didn't?
Zelda sat in her royal bedchambers, infuriated that Link would send that poor person to the prison. But she couldn't help but feel guilty as well, for she knew that Shaun was nothing more than a sad, depressed individual who was forced to stand by as his people were killedl; yet she just let Link send him to one of the worst places in Hyrule, where he'd probably be tortured, starved, or even killed. After that thought, Zelda felt as though she had to save him, she had to help him somehow. It was then that Zelda would decide to do what could be the riskiest thing she'd ever done. She'd try to help him escape. He could live at the castle with Zelda and she could hide him from the guards. No, that would be too endangering. If Shaun were to be caught, he could be executed. Though Zelda could visit him in his cell and keep him company until she figured out a plan. It was decided; Zelda would leave immediately to visit Shaun.
Shaun had been in the prison for three hours, and he already knew that it was hell. He had been tortured, beaten, and humiliated. Though, Shaun kept his cool through it all and tried to endure it. After his torture was over, he was thrown into a cell with another man. He was very tall and had bulging muscles. Shaun knew though, that if the man were to mess with him, he would regret it. Shaun then got up and looked through the bars of his cell to see what other people there were in this prison. What he saw made him very confused. Some of the things in the prison weren't human. Some were these fish-like creatures that were kept in small pools of water. Others were these rock-like creatures that had purple eyes. Shaun knew then that this planet had many different strange species, so he had to watch out for them in case they were violent.
Shaun then decided to take a quick nap on one of the flimsy, lumpy beds they had in the cells; but before he could, one of the guards called out, "Hey otherworldly beast! You have a visitor!" Shaun perked up and walked toward the bars of his cell to find the last person he wanted to see on the other side. The woman who did absolutely nothing to help him as he was carried away to this hellhole. Shaun immediately walked away and sat down on the side of his bed. "Please Shaun, don't be that way. I just want to help." Shaun looked up at her and replied sarcastically with a hint of anger, "Oh I think you've helped quite enough, princess." Normally, Zelda would give up and try again later, but she felt as though she needed to speak to him and make everything right again. "Shaun, I know I should've said something, but you must understand. I didn't want to go against my brother. He's a powerful man, maybe more powerful than me, and will use all of that power to get what he wants." That didn't help the situation as Shaun's attitude didn't change. Zelda then tried to think of something to say, but was eventually cut off by Shaun. "Whatsa matter, cat got your tongue? You really can't think of anything to say, can you? Psshh, I honestly don't know how you became a princess. Don't princesses have to be, like, really good at talking?" Zelda knew that that wasn't the real Shaun Wolf talking. The real Shaun was hidden behind the anger and sadness. "Shaun... I know that you feel bad about your people being killed and I'm sorry for that, but there's nothing we can do. I'm sorry, and if it makes you feel any better, I'd help you in a heartbeat if I could." Zelda was beginning to choke up with how much she wanted to help this poor young man. It was almost overwhelming how much she wanted to help him, which frightened her. She'd never felt this way about another person until he came along. Zelda began to instantly break down in tears. That instantly got to Shaun as he got up and walked over to Zelda.
"Now Zelda... don't cry. Please." Shaun then was finally getting how much Zelda wanted to help him. He looked down at the crying young woman practically in his arms, which was attracting a lot of unneeded attention from the other prisoners, and felt a warm, fuzzy feeling in his chest. If only he realized what that feeling meant.
A/N So, how was it? Good? Bad? Well review and tell me!
