Chapter 5- Princess Zelda
A dark and lonely gloom filled the night air as Link and Pit trekked across Hyrule Field. Ilia had borrowed, and refused to return Link's trusty steed, Epona, so they had to go on foot. "Ugh, I can barely see anything!" Pit complained.
Just then, Link kicked something with his boot. He quickly took out the lantern he had forgotten to use and lit it. There, in the field grass, lay Princess Zelda. Link gasped. "Princess! Princess Zelda!" Link exclaimed. Zelda weakly opened her eyes, and then lost consciousness.
The light streamed through the window, awaking Zelda from the dark. She saw Link standing beside her, looking away. "Wh-where am I?" she managed to say.
Link's attention was quickly drawn to the princess. "Zelda! Thank goodness you're awake! You're at my house. I hope you don't mind that you're on my bed. What's wrong?"
"Link, my best friend. I knew you'd find me," she said softly. She smiled weakly up at him. "Please. Help." Then she started coughing heavily.
Link quickly kneeled beside her. "Zelda! What's wrong? Do you need CPR?"
"Yeah, you wish," Pit said. He was on the lower level of the loft and was sitting in a chair.
"Link. I am fine. Please...help Hyrule," Zelda mumbled.
"What's wrong with Hyrule?" Link inquired. Just then Zelda's eyes closed. "NOOO!" Link exclaimed. He quickly checked to see if she had a heart beat. "Fewf," he wiped the sweat off is brow. "She's still breathing. But I've got to get Uli!"
After Uli had arrived, Zelda awoke. Colin's mom gave the princess medicine and soon Zelda was feeling a little better. After Uli had left, Link turned to Zelda.
"What's wrong with Hyrule?" he asked again.
"Ganondorf. He took over Hyrule. And he gave me a deadly disease and locked me in my room. But I escaped and went to look for you. But Stalhounds attacked me and I couldn't make it. I'm so glad you saved me," Princess Zelda told him.
"Deadly disease? You're going to die?!" A look of horror passed over Link's face.
"I... don't know," Zelda said quietly.
