Chapter 14

Deep in the palace, where she had chosen her sleeping quarters, Samus flung herself down on her bed, fuming. Of all the things she had expected Midna to be, she had not expected Midna to be so beautiful. Everything Samus had known about Link's role in abating the Zant Crisis had now been thrown into doubt for her where Midna was concerned. How long had Link known Midna? How much time did he spend with her? How close did they get? For how long?

How long has he known Midna? Samus's thoughts repeatedly demanded, How did they meet? WHEN did they meet? WHERE did they meet? How close are they? How close WERE they?

More and more questions came up as Samus remembered all that had happened recently. Link confessed he loves me, he took my virginity, he planned with me, traveled with me...come to think of it, he never said if it was his first time when he fucked me on mine!

Samus's thoughts became more and more demanding. A little voice in her mind kept egging at her. How do you know Link didn't have sex with her? You think they might even be in a secret relationship? Samus was at a complete loss as to what to think. Link would have told me if he'd had any past relationships...wouldn't he? Hiding his past isn't like him. I mean, granted, he's never really gone into detail about his exploits as a warrior, but I would think he'd have told me if he'd had an affair with anyone...right?

No matter how hard she tried to convince herself, Samus still had doubts. She was beginning to doubt her own feelings for Link.

What do I do? I can't let this sit...how do I ask Link about it without driving him away?

In another part of the palace, higher up and more elegant, the Twilight Queen laid on her bed, staring up at the ceiling of her chamber. Midna had been so happy to see Link, and yet...the sight of that blonde had marred everything. And what the hell was she wearing?! I mean, okay, my clothing tends to be a bit risque, but that's just ridiculous I could see every detail of her form! Has she no shame at all?! What is she trying to seduce him or something? Another, worse thought crossed her mind. Did she ALREADY seduce him?!

Midna had no idea who Samus was or where she was from, but she knew this much: as far as Midna was concerned, Samus was the one thing Midna hated: competition. Midna hated to admit it, but Samus was rather beautiful, as well as voluptuous. My curves my put hers to shame, Midna thought, but the T and A department isn't what Link focuses on, I was with him long enough to know THAT much. He's more about personality and emotions than anything else. And he takes personal preferences into account as well, that's why he didn't fall for Zelda. He respected the fact that while she did love him like brother, she didn't see him as a lover, like I did. Like I DO.

Midna sighed. I hate to admit it, but Link never really did make any promises. Technically, we were never together. Hell, I never even confessed my feelings for him. So...how can I?

Midna sighed. As much as she hated to admit it, she had not admitted to Link she loved him, so, therefore, how could she in good conscience just come out of the blue and admit she loved him when that blonde bitch already seemed to have taken him?

Midna knew it was a silly thing to do, but she felt that as long as Samus was around, she could not admit her feelings for Link.

I need to do something about her...what, I'm not sure...but I know this. I'm not giving up Link without a fight.

Link was feeling worse than both the females in the palace. Great. Juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust great. I finally get used to Samus's company and even fall in love with her. I confess I love her and not even 24 hours later take her virginity. We work together, plan together, even fight together. And now that I've come to Twilight Realm to see Midna for help, she automatically gets all jealous over Midna just because Midna's as beautiful as she is.

Link had to admit it. He could handle monsters and temples and giants and crazy-talking-demon-masks like it was no problem, but when it came to women, it was like trying to fight a hurricane with your bare hands. And Midna seems jealous too. Midna and I...well, we went through a lot of hell together but in terms of a relationship, we never really promised each other anything...we didn't even last that long.

As trivial as it seemed, this was, in Midna's words, one hell of a shithole he was in. He knew that while his was not the time to be upset over relationship issues, he knew that the battle of wills between Midna and Samus was a huge issue in finding the Chaos Emerald in the Twilight Realm. If they couldn't work as a team, then they wouldn't be able to help one another, than there'd be the issue of who Link would go with, and a ton of other issues that would just waste valuable time that was quickly running out.

I just don't know how I keep getting myself caught up into this shit, Link thought, First Saria, then Malon, then Rutoh, now Samus and Midna. Why is it that every female who sees me wants to automatically assume I'm theirs? I mean, fuck it all, can't they see that I'm really not interested? I love Samus, I really do, but seriously, why does she have to be so...indomitable?

And Midna! What the hell is with her?! We never got into a serious relationship! I mean, all we did was kiss a few times and we had sex the one time before she went back to her Kingdom. I never promised her anything, and it's not my fault that she fell for me!

Link sighed aloud. Whatever the case, I need to mend this rift. Not doing so could have some awful painful consequences.

And not just for me.

Well, I had the time on my hands so I've posted 3 new chapters in 2 days! Whew!

So now Midna's thrown into the mix...things might not end too well...

Read and review please!

Update as of May 20th: As a quick heads up, Chapter 15 may be a while due to some issues concerning depression, financial struggles and health issues. I promise I will get to it ASAP. Please keep reading and reviewing!
