Hello! Thank you shortchicksrule for favorite and follow this story! It makes me very glad! :D
Thank you so much for reviewing once again Sakura Hatsu! It makes me really happy to know that you like my story so much. And to answer your review; your questions will be answered as the story goes on. It's really good questions and it's great that you asked them so I can take them into consideration. But I don't want to spoil anything so you'll just have to wait and see :3
I hope you'll enjoy this new chapter. :)
I don't own The Legend of Zelda, only this story idea.
Previously:
"I was thinking that we could make baked apples and other things to eat. But I was thinking of waiting until we get to our destination before preparing a meal. If you think it's alright to wait" He asks.
"I can wait" I answered gratefully before taking another bite.
"Just tell me if you want another apple before we get there" he said. We enjoyed the rest of our apples and soon we continued our travel.
"Now we'll soon arrive, it's just around the corner" he said as we rode on a trail between the trees. Shortly afterwards we come out in the clear on the other side.
Water rippled not far away and the forest nearby us provided everything from berries, mushrooms and other things that I had seen on our way here. He slowed down the horse to stride the last way until we came to a stop on a rather open place on one of the hills. The ground was flat and clear and it was located on a high place with good view over the surroundings. A pile consisting of charred wood indicated that a fire had been burning there not too long ago. A cauldron was placed over it, indicating that it had been used for cooking.
"Here we are" He said as we dismounted, "What do you think?" he asked and I looked around, taking in the beautiful place that I supposed would be our camp for the coming days.
"I like it" I smiled.
"That's great, now we should start to prepare the-" he suddenly stopped in the middle of the sentence. He started to listen intensively. His pointed ears catching a sound floating with the wind.
"What-" I started to ask silently. He suddenly put a finger to my lips the soft touch making me blush. He beckoned me to follow him and we soundlessly started to sneak towards the edge of the hill nearby us.
I heard it now too. It sounded like someone talking in another language not sounding like anything I had heard before. As we peeked over the edge I realized I had been rather right; red colored creatures where having a camp not far away from us.
"Bokoblins" He whispered barely enough high for me to hear him.
I looked at him. His cute face now had a slight frown as he contemplated what to do.
"They wasn't here when I left yesterday" He whispered.
"Should we move somewhere else?" I asked.
"No, I don't want to give up this place. Somewhere else may not be as safe as here. I spent time securing the area. Besides, I don't like how they are spreading out. I think I'm unfortunately have to deal with them. Hopefully it won't be too hard chasing them away or take care of them… stay here."
"Be careful" I whispered as he started to head down the side of the hill, approaching them from the side in the protection of the high grass. I watched in excitement and awe as he crept close. His slim athletic body making his way forward without a sound.
There was three of them, which made me slightly worried, but I trusted in his skills. They didn't show any sign that they had noticed him as he drew his bow and aimed an arrow at the camp. He let go at the string; the arrow flew swiftly through the air and hit one of them. The hit bokoblin evaporated into smoke and vanished.
The other two got up and started to head his way as they spotted the archer. He in turn prepared his sword. Soon weapons collided. I watched in tension when something else caught my attention. There was a fourth bokoblin that I hadn't noticed before, probably because it had been behind the fireplace. Now it was sneaking, making its way towards their intruder.
Time froze a little as I realized that he didn't see the bokoblin. I felt my heart start to race when I released what was about to happen. He was going to get hit. It terrified me beyond belief. I couldn't just sit there and wait for it to happen. I rose and started to quickly make my way down the hill. He had defeated one of the others but still failed to notice the other one behind him. I saw a small rock laying in the grass behind me which I took up and quickly flung towards the bokoblin in an attempt to distract it.
The stone hit its target and the bokoblin turned its attention, head snapped towards me. I felt happy that I had been able to stop its plans, but I hadn't really thought of what to do next. I felt how fear crawled up my spine. They was bigger than I had originally thought when I had seen them at a distance.
I took a hesitant step back as the bokoblin started to run toward me. But it didn't get far. Before it even got close to me it was cut down, disappearing in a puff of smoke.
Luckily he had taken care of the other bokoblin and noticed us. Now when he had taken care of the last danger he walked to me, eyeing me as if to be certain that I wasn't injured.
"Are you alright?" He asked, worry in his cerulean eyes as he took my shoulders. I nodded.
"Good" he said and we both closed the space between us in a tight hug.
"I'm sorry if you got scared, I guess I wanted to impress you and got reckless along the way…" he apologized.
"You don't need to try and impress me. I'm already impressed" I admitted. "And I wasn't that scared, I was more afraid loosing you now when I finally have found you…"
"You'll never lose me, and I promise that I will always protect you" He said and then he bent down and carefully kissed my forehead. It was just a slight peek, but it was enough for my face to turn a deep red.
We parted and I could see a slight blush playing on his cheeks as well. He decided to change the subject:
"You're hungry, right? Let's prepare a meal" He said and his eyes drifted off to the fire the bokoblins had made. A steak was over it that didn't even look as if it had been touched.
"We could take the liberty of taking that so it doesn't have to get to waste" He said with a nod at it. "And let's go and gatherer other things as well that we can cook and make a meal of. I know where we can find it."
