Here you guys go! I really hope you like it :) I've been busy playing final fantasy X and X-2 , and i'm so emotionally attached to it! Sorry for taking so long! haha
...
I couldn't believe my eyes, what I was hearing, am I still dreaming? Why would she be doing this? I'm going to go crazy, my whole plan was to avoid her as much as possible, and now she's sneaking out to come talk to me? That tops it. Honestly I don't know whether to be angry,scared,happy, or sad. What do I say, where do I start? It's been years.
Guess I should try to say something, and if it's something nice comes out of my mouth, well that'd be a shocker to you and me both.
"Link, I'm so happy to see you!" She quietly yelled out as she ran towards me with open arms.
You kidding me? I don't think so. She can't pretend everything is okay now. Not after everything she did. Everything she caused. I stepped to the side quickly dodging her grasp.
"..Link?" Her face quickly changed. Confusion merged with hurt.
"Zelda... what do you want.. I really don't have much I want to say to you.." What does she expect from me?
"Link..why are you being like this? I've just come to greet you.. I haven't seen you in so very long, I've missed you quiet so..." She put her head down, her voice was starting to get softer and softer.
"WHY AM I BEING LIKE THIS? ARE YOU KIDDING ME! HA!" I was raising my voice a little louder to express my frustration, but not loud enough to wake up the men around, I don't need that kind of trouble right now.
I paused and took a deep breath.
"Zelda, why are you here? You need to get back up to your room and stay there. Before you get ME in trouble."
"But.." She whispered.
"BUT NOTHING! Look Zelda I don't want to talk to you, you must be out of your mind if you think it's okay to leave me like that and now I have to work for your stupid royal wedding. Jeez you've got to be KIDDING ME!" I balled my fist in anger at the moment. Thinking about her in love with some stupid rich guy made me so angry. And I know it wasn't my place to, I don't control her, and who am I kidding? I don't have much room to talk, I'm with Malon... It's just when I though about it, all the memories of our past flashed quickly before my eyes, and it made my heart ache everytime.
"WHAT IS SO WRONG WITH WANTING TO GET A CHANCE TO TALK TO YOU!" She too now was whispering louder. "I WANT TO JUST EXPLAIN THINGS LINK..." She took a deep breath and relaxed her body.
"I want to really talk things over Link... please give me a chance..Don't be so harsh."
"Don't be so harsh? DON'T BE SO HARSH?" I was getting closer and closer to her, I felt like the closer I got, maybe the more she could feel my pain, my anger.
"Link I have many important things I want to tell you... please just calm down. Please... im begging you."
I couldn't keep going...for once I didn't have ther strength to continue fighting with her, nor to keep hurting her.
"Zelda..what do you want..."
She took my balled fist into her dainty little hands, they were frightfully cold, without thinking I gripped both of her hands together under mine to warm them.
"Link...I-"
"Hey link brother? You out there? What's going on?" I heard Kirka call out loudly.
Zelda quickly turned her head towards the direction of Kirka's voice then back to my eyes. We had no time to think especially talk. This would have to wait, right now im worried about us not getting caught. As the bushes started rustling I knew we didn't have a second to spare.
"Princess, go now.." She didn't heed me as quickly as I would have liked. She gave me one last look of deep affection and nodded, she started to run off but stopped for a second and turned towards me and said,
"It's Zelda Link, It has been and always will be to you..."
"What..." But she couldn't hear me ask that.
Within a few seconds of standing there, watching to make sure she got back safely, I seen her disappear into the nights darkness.
"Hey Link!" Karik came running out. He paused for a deep breath. "I was worried about you ya! I heard some commotion out here so I thought I'd come make sure everything was alright!"
I was sort of mad, mad that he ruined this moment, I didn't know if what Zelda had to say was good or bad, but to hear anything from her was a gift. But I can't stay mad, after all he has no idea what's going on in this twisted world of mine...
"Link? You alright brother?..."
"Uh, yeah I'm fine, I was just talking to my self out here, trying to think about things."
He paused for a minute and put his head down in embarrassment. "Oh I'm sorry, didn't mean to wreck up your unwinding time..I just thought you might have got in contact with some fiends ya? Didn't want you to get hurt out here alone."
"Heh..it's fine, I was just about done anyways...say let's go back to bed, we have to be up in a few hours."
"Yah! I'm right behind you there buddy!"
Time to sleep and wait for the morning time, and maybe see Zelda again...
...
"ALRIGHT MEN! RISE AND SHINE! Time to start working! Everyone up now!"
"Ugh.." Man I so tired, I sort of wish that I had went to bed way sooner.. wait. ZELDA! I almost forgot, today I might catch her alone at some point and finally see what she's been wanting to tell me.
I jumped up and threw on my tunic, I was ready to get this solved. You know that aching in your heart when you just need some kind of closure or information you've been dying for? Well that's how I was feeling right about now.
"Ay, ay what's the rush Link? You sure seem super spunky today. You that excited to work?"
"Heh..well I think of it as, the faster we work, the faster we can come back here!" I lied.
"Eh.. well I don't think it work's like that pal, but im behind ya 100 percent!" Karik patted me on the back.
"ALRIGHT YOU LITTLE GIRLS QUIT GOSSIPING AND HEAD TOWARDS THE NORTH SIDE OF CASTLE GROUNDS, YOU'SE TWO WILL BE ON GROUND DUTY TODAY!"
"And what exactly is that?..." Whatever it was sounded like too much work. I know this guy didn't like me, so I'm sure he's going to give us the crappiest job out there.
"Do I have to explain EVERYTHING to you two pin heads? What does ground duty sound like?"
Both of us. Blank.
"Oh brother, Okay! Listen up! Ground work is basically, clearing the area from fiends, picking up glass or any other object that might harm someone, and try trimmin the weeds will ya?"
I just sat there and stared at him, part of me wanted to punch him square in the nose but, the smart part of me knew it wasn't worth it. He'll get his one day.
"CRYSTAL CLEAR?"
"Sure." I responded.
"Alright then, head out!"
...
So Kirka and I headed out, the North side of the castle grounds wasn't too far from our tent so that was a good thing. It's scorching outside, and here we are dressed for a winter festival or something.
"Do you see any fiends yet Link?"
I could barley see anyone the sun was burning my eyes. I cupped my hand over eyes and looked from side to side.
"Eh...not that I can tell so far. Man what do they expect us to do?"
"I don't know. We can't work if we can't see." Kirka responded.
"Hmmm..still scanning.." I could look all day but I wasn't getting anywhere till the sun starts to set.
"Aye, Link take a gander! Quick!" Kirka pulled me swiftly towards him.
"What? What! A fiend where?" I pulled out my sword, finally some action.
"No..." He paused. " It's the princess.."
I slowly lifted my head in the dierections Kirka's was facing, and sure enough there she was once again.. in a window just fiddling with things in the room. In that moment she looked priceless...Her dress was fitted perfectly to her hourglass figure; a carnation pink with white laces traveling down to the bottom. The top of her dress dipped down to the tip of her cleavage, leaving plenty of men's minds to wander i'm sure. Her blonde hair shimmered from the sun's rays hitting the window, she was truly a beauty. That angelic milky white skin that covered her from hair to toe, her cheeks were as pink as the cherry blossoms that begins blooming in spring. And those eyes, I could never forget those piercing blue eyes, that burned with resolve. This is the woman I once wanted to live my life with, key word...once.
"Aye, she's quite a looker yah?" He paused and shook his head in disbelief. "No wonder my wife is angry with me heh, she was right!"
Indeed she was my friend...
"Now don't get me wrong, I would never hurt my wife, but can you imagine one night with her? "
I didn't know how to answer that, and even before I could attempt, he kept on.
"No, but she isn't the kind of girl you take care of for one night. She's the type you love for the rest of your life. Forgive me goddesses. I shouldn't even speak in such dirty ways about our future queen, and disrespect my wife."
Listening to this made me feel worse and worse about what I was doing to Malon, I'm trying to make more contact with the princess when I shouldn't pay any mind. Im outta here, going do my work. I don't want to dwell on this any longer.
I turned around and started walking in the opposite direction. "Well Karik let's hurry and fin-"
"Hey...Link...?" He was stuttering and whispering. Was he scared of something?
"What is it? I wasn't turning back.
"What did you do?..."
"What do you mean wha-"
He interrupted. "Why is the Princess staring at you like that?"
I slowly turned my head to look into Zelda's window, and there she was staring at me with a barren glare fixed upon her face. We were both to scared to move, I wasn't sure what that look meant, and Kirka probably thought we going to be beheaded for peeking into her window.
"What is with the glare..."He questioned me. As if I knew the answer.
"I'm not sure.."
"I don't like it one bit, let's get going please!" He tugged on my tunic with great determination. But I couldn't pull away and neither could she, she just starred and so did I. What did It mean, she was smiling last night? What was I to do..
"NOW LINK! PLEASE! BEFORE WERE BEHEADED!" He shoved me away from sight of the window.
"AWEE MAN! I knew that was wrong of me, please forgive me, please forgive me, please please GODDESSES!"
What was I to do now? And yeah yeah I know. I looked.
