I Thought I Lost You
Chapter 5: Princess' Depression
The organs slowly played as the ancient wooden box was carried down the aisle. Zelda sat on the throne, waited for her last piece of family to reach the end of the Hall. Tears were flooding down her pale face. People from all over Hyrule sat by the sides. Zoras, Gorons, the people of Ordon and Snowpeak were there to see this event that would be passed through time. Link stood to stand with Zelda, who was crying over her father's body.
It was too hard for her to say anything, she walked alone back to the throne. Next Link drew his sword, held it to the ground and bowed to the fallen King. When he got back to his feet, he pulled out his Ocarina. The sun from the windows shone brightly on the small blue instrument. Link put it to his lips, in seconds a beautiful melody echoed around the hall. It brought tears to everyone's eyes, unfortunately Zelda too.
She stared into the vases of blue flowers as more water streamed down her white face. This was way too much, she couldn't handle it much longer. Zelda ran. She ran outside and into the courtyard, where it was quiet. After Link finished his song, he ran out to her. "Zelda!" Link panicked. "What?" she sniffed. "A-are you alright?" he stammered. "Yes, fine" she murmured. "Obviously not, Zel" he held her hands.
"I can't take it. It's too hard to accept that he's gone. I will have to be Queen. Queen, it's a big thing. I'm too young for a responsibility like that, I owe that to my people" she sobbed. "Well, I'm half on the same page as you. I don't know any of my family, I'm just an Orphan. But it's not so bad I guess, I have a Princess for a best friend. What's better than that?" he smiled. Their eyes gazed into each others.
The courtyard was beautiful when the sun set. The twisted canopy of vines overhead leaked sunlight down onto the light grey cobbles. Candles were lit on thin posts, burning with a strong desire. The Hero and the Princess sat still on the stone bench, still set into one another's eyes. Link slowly leaned closer to her. Zelda wasted no time, she leaned in the remaining distance. Their lips touched softly, but with a burning sense that they both wanted more.
Link put his hands to the sides of her face, and she threw her arms around him. It became intense, there was nothing they wanted more than that moment. The soft kiss had turned fierce, releasing a pleasure that cannot be stopped. It was suddenly so clear that this was what they had wanted for a long time. Zelda slowly leaned back, Link lingering over her. Their lips parted for air, so for a second they looked again at each other.
Link sat up. "Wow, Zel. I...is this really a good idea?" Link hesitated. Zelda sat up too, "When has that ever mattered..." she whispered in his ear, and walked back to the castle...
Link knocked at the ancient wooden door. Zelda answered quickly, "Yes?" she asked slowly. Link slid quickly into her room. "Listen, I know we both want this. But surely it's not-" he started. But Zelda kissed him. It was a phenomenal moment. Depression, Desire, Lust, all mixed together. At first it was all Zelda, until Link realized. He realized how right it felt, why had he never done it before? It made no sense.
Zelda pulled away for a short time, and moved away. She sat down on her bed, where Link soon sat beside her. Their kiss continued. It was as wild as the first time. They lay back on the clean sheets and stared up at the ceiling for a while. It was hard to concentrate, trying not to look over to the face they adored so much. Link rolled over a little, and pressed his lips against hers.
It was sunny again. The bright sunlight shone through some led windows. Link awoke after countless long hours of sleep, without the slightest idea of who he was. It couldn't possibly be a bad place, he felt too good and comfortable where he was. There was a sheet over his head, which he pulled off a soon as her knew it was there. Link was in Zelda's room again. Again? He knew he had been there not long before, but he didn't know when.
Everything was a blur. His head was messed up, he was...naked? His clothes were on the floor. What had he been doing? And where was...Zelda? Zelda wasn't there. The sheets were messed up on the side she usually slept on, but she wasn't there. Then he realized somebody could walk in and look for Zelda, it was clearly morning, that message had been quickly passed on through the sun's blinding rays. So obvious, he dressed himself as quick as he could. After some seconds had passed, Zelda was through the door.
"Zelda...!There you are" Link bursted out. "Oh good, you're awake" she sighed. "Listen, I'm sorry about last night. I was stupid, I'm guessing..." Link apologized. "Wait...what?" Zelda asked. "I didn't get drunk again?" he assumed. Zelda had to think, if he didn't remember, how could it come up in awkward conversation? She took the advantage. "Oh...yeah, you did. Don't worry though, I left the room when you started dancing" she giggled as convincing as she could manage...
Another chapter out of the way! It's coming alright so far, so be excited for the next chapter! A new change of events is brewing...
I will note that I didn't write most of this chapter, my friend did. It was her birthday and I dunno why but she wanted to contribute to this story. She took it upon herself to turn it around as she did XD*
