Hope
A/N Well, here's chapter 4. I'd say thanks for reviewing... but there seems to be say... a lack of reviews. So if you could just donate 1 review to the Jigglypuff Sucks for Reviews Fund, there just may be some hope after all.
Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING! NOTHING!
None of the two seemed to know how long the hug lasted, but neither of them wanted it to end. It was so strange, Shaun had finally found someone whom he knew cared for him, which he'd thought he would never experience; and Zelda finally found someone to comfort her as well. Someone to comfort her when she felt desperate and hopeless. And they finally were beginning to know what they were feeling.
(But they'd never say)
Zelda's visits continued for weeks on end. Shaun had begun to feel much better about being in prison now that he had someone to empathize with his plight. But one day, Link finally had enough of Zelda's constant visits to the prisoners. "I have had enough of this Zelda! Why do you insist upon spending your days peddling along with such trash?" "He's not trash! He's a human being who has feelings and a lot of love to give!" "What, are you saying you love this beast?" "...So what if I do?" "I forbid you to see him!" "You will not!" Link then grabbed the princess's arm with great force and pinned her against the wall. "You will not see him ever again. Understand?" Zelda knew that she was fighting a losing battle and finally decided to give in. "Okay. I'll stop seeing him." Zelda then began to cry, which Link honestly could care less about, and left the crying princess to be alone in sadness.
Shaun paced back and forth in his cell for minutes upon hours upon days. Zelda's visits had abruptly stopped for no reason whatsoever. And Shaun had no idea why. The blonde teen then began to come up with different theories. Maybe Zelda was kidnapped, maybe Link forbade her to see him... or maybe Zelda just didn't like Shaun anymore. That last thought mysteriously caused Shaun to become overwhelmed by sadness. But the princess would never be so horrible as to abandon him like that... would she? Shaun talked about this to his cellmate, Mordecai, who had become friends with the blonde teen over the days that he'd stayed in the prison. "I say she left you high and dry. Princesses like that have no caring for people below them. They just step on everybody else to get what they want. But don't take it to heart; women are always leaving men for almost no reason. She just wasn't the right one." Shaun, who trusted his cellmate and friend, began to go with his interpretation of the situation and resented Zelda for it. But no matter how much he tried to extinguish the flame he felt for the Hylian, there was still a spark in his heart that would never go out. And even though Shaun said he hated Zelda, he felt no anger towards her; just sadness. Then one night, while Shaun was laying in his bed, unable to sleep, he said to himself out loud, "I just thought she loved me."
(But a Goddess cannot love a mortal)
Zelda laid on her bed, still sobbing about the whole incident. But why was she crying so much? Sure Shaun was a great person that she cared for, but she wouldn't be this sad. But maybe the rebel was something more than just a friend to the princess. At that thought, Zelda knew that she loved him. After a while, she discovered that it was very obvious and she briefly cursed herself for not figuring it out sooner. The Hylian then changed into her alternate persona, Sheik, and leapt from the tower, landing without a scratch. She ran quickly across the field to the prison until, suddenly, she was blindsided by someone. But due to it being pitch dark outside, Sheik had no idea who it would be. She quickly got back up from the ground and sprinted over to the mystery person. She then brought her fist up and punched him square in the jaw, nearly sending the stranger to the ground. The mystery person had had enough and unleashed a ball of magic that knocked the Sheikah out cold. The princess then awoke hours later, but she didn't recognize the room she was in. It had an evil air to it and there was a picture of Ganondorf on the wall. It was then that Zelda realized where she was. Ganondorf had kidnapped her and brought her to his bedchambers. But the princess had no idea what would happen to her.
A/N Ooooohhhh, cliffhanger. Please review so I can see how excited you are. NOW!
P.S. Yeah, the chapters are getting shorter but I promise that they'll be longer in later chapters.
