Zelda pulled away. Gazing into Link's blue eyes.

He looked at her, smiled, and spoke:

"I just... need to ingest this, give me some time alone."

Link walked away, and into the castle.

He ran through the halls, passing a confused Impa. Finally, he made it to his room, he shut the door, locked it, and sat on his bed.

What am I supposed to do now?

I liked the kiss. I like her, so why doesn't my heart like this. Zelda is nice. She is the most beautiful girl I've ever met, yet something nags at me, like it isn't right. I don't have that passion for her like... NO! That would be wrong! I can't, but yet I dream of her. But it would never be...she...maybe the great fair-NO! I shouldn't even think about her. That would be sick!

Link sat there, confused. He fell asleep in his thoughts.


Zelda sat in the library.

That kiss... Ohhhh... those lips... that muscular body... those eyes...

Zelda couldn't keep her mind off of Link.

He's soooooo handsome... his hair... his...


Saria was in the lost woods...

In the sacred forest grove...

Link walked in...

He said nothing...
Just grabbed her...
Embraced her...
Then...
He kissed her...
Passion burning in him...
Saria felt a warm feeling...
Saria fell back...
He was on top of her...
That warmth was now a burning feeling...
She kissed him back as she started to tear his shirt off...
She threw it to the side...
She suddenly was...

Saria suddenly shot up from her slumber.

Saria didn't know what that was but she wanted more.

She wanted Link.


The sun rose in Hyrule.

The birds were chirping happily.

All of Hyrule was bright.

But for Link, he didn't feel bright.

Link got up, put on his clothes, picked up his swords and shield, and made his way to the breakfast table.

He arrived in the breakfast room and had a seat.

There was just a plate of breakfast with a note:

Link,

I am with Impa in the market. We will be back in a couple of hours.

Link finished reading the note and quickly ate his breakfast.

He finished it and pulled out his ocarina, played the Minuet of the forest, and warped out of the castle.


Link appeared in the lost woods.

Saria was there again.

"Hey!" Saria shouted, pulling Link into a hug.

"Hi." Link said. He quickly broke the embrace and ran out into the maze.

Link couldn't stand to look at her. He couldn't, because it would bring him too much pain.

Link was in love, in love with someone who he shouldn't be.

Saria...

Her emerald hair, her...

NO!

I will not!

Saria was following Link, but his athletic body allowed him to run much faster than her. He ran into the village, Leapt off of the cliff, and landed in a roll at the bottom. He continued to run, and finally made it to the great Deku sprout's meadow.

Saria had lost Link when he jumped off the cliff, and gave up hope. She fell to her knee's, and began to cry. Tears were running down her cheeks.

--

Link ran to the Deku Sprout.

"Why hello, Link, I haven't seen you in a-"

"Deku sprout, please, I can't bear it anymore!" Link yelled, one lone tear in his eye.

"Ah... you mean your love for the forest sage?" The Deku sprout calmly asked.

"Yes! Please! I know it's wrong but it's too much! I just can't..."

"My boy, sit down for a moment."

Link did as the Deku sprout asked.

"Link, you haven't done anything wrong, it is only natural for a Hylian such as yourself to fall in love, but Kokiri never grow to that stage in life, but Saria is different, she had feelings for you ever since you left the forest. Since Saria is the forest sage, I can, if She agrees, enable her to leave the forest and grow. However, if in two weeks, you have not found the five sacred swords; Water, Wind, Fire, Earth, and light, then Saria will grow at an extremely accelerated rate, and will die within three days. Now, if you will get Saria, I will discuss it with her."

Link quickly hopped up and ran faster than any normal Hylian boy his age.

--

Saria was curled up on the ground, next to the fence of the cliff, crying.

Link wailked up, but he couldn't bear to see her like this.

"S-Sa-Saria?" He asked as he dropped to his knees next to her. He tried not to let his voice break.

Saria got up onto her knee's and slapped Link across the face. Link just looked at her as she stormed off to her house.

Link was wounded inside.

He looked at his shoulder, the pain still was almost unbearable. Sat against the fence, wincing in pain as he took his shirt off and tore the bandage off of his shoulder, Link then howled in pain, and looked at the open wound.

There was one big, long, cut, that went all the way through his shoulder, and it rendered his left hand almost unusable.

Then there was a sudden movement in the bushes in the woods, and suddenly Stalfoes started pouring out of the wood log. Link acted on instinct and backflipped off of the cliff, landing on his feet, but then falling to his knees. The Stallfoes jumped off of the cliff, now charging to the village, but Link, in all his agony, stood up, drew his sword, and stood in front of the village.

If Link was going to die, he was gonna die fighting.


Saria sat on her bed, thinking about Link.

Suddenly, there was a noise, like a stampede.

"It must be the wild Wolfos again." She muttered to herself as she went outside to investigate.

But when she got out of the door, a stalfos sent a slice to her, and just before it hit Saria, the stalfos froze, falling to the ground, she saw Link behind it, pulling his sword out of the stalfos.

She just stared into his eyes deeply, his face looked like it did when he fought dark Link.

Determined.

Link had no tunic on, no undershirt, and his underpants wer ripped in the right leg.
His face had a huge gash across his eye, covering one side of his face, and he had a stab into the stomach, the dagger still in his back.

"Get out of the forest!" he yelled as he sliced another stalfos. He ripped the dagger out of his gut and threw it to Saria.

Link stabbed another and handed Saria the ocarina she had made for him.

"Take this! And in case I die," He shot an arrow into another stalfos."I love you."
