Today was a weird day. We didn't have ELA today because Master Hand said that Palutena was busy with...what was it...I don't remember. But anyways I could've sworn that I saw her earlier while I was talking to Link. Actually no, I know that I saw her earlier...no one else in this school has long green hair like her, and I know I saw part of her hair sticking out from around the corner.
Wait if I did see her then wouldn't that mean...that she was spying on us? No it can't be...she's a goddess, I'm pretty sure that wouldn't have done that...would she? Anyways Palutena is not the only person that's been on my mind. I can't help but think about what Link said earlier...there seems like a lot of logic behind his theory but...I just can't make my self believe it. I mean...why would Peach deliberately spy on us...it's not like anything important was happening...well nothing important to me was happening. Wait what if something important to her...no, no more thinking for me. I should really get some rest.
I turned away from the wall to face the clock. 3:15 AM it read.
Yea...I really need sleep. The truth though is that I can't sleep. Every time I close my eyes I can hear Link's voice in my head repeatedly saying "If she was so scared of her, and that's a if, then she wouldn't have thought of skipping because she would've been scared to get caught."
As I look at Peach, sleeping so peacefully, I'm not really sure how much I really know my friend but I just brush the thought off and close my eyes letting my mind wander.
Surprisingly the first thing that comes to mind is Link. Why Link...I don't know but something about him seems comforting and familiar. Maybe it's the way his eyes sparkle like the glistening water at Lake Hylia on a sunny day (woah, when did I become so poetic...)...it kinda reminds me of when I was little when me and my dad would sometimes go down to the lake to swim. After a while we just stopped going all together, I never fully understood why though, especially since we always had so much fun.
Anyways the more I thought about my memories of the lake, the more I could feel sleep tugging at the corners of my mind slowly pulling me until I finally dozed off...
~~The Next Day~~
At the first sight of light I quickly opened my eyes and sat up in my bed...
"PEACH...WE OVERSLEPT..." I practically screamed at her.
"Huh...whaaa" she replied, sitting up and yawning.
"WE OVERSLEPT PEACH...WERE GOING TO BE LATE...WE NEED TO GET READY" I said once again, the look on Peach's face confusing me.
"What..." I asked. "Do you not really care if we're going to be late or not?"
She studied my face for a while before sighing and seeming to look at me a little annoyed.
"Zellie" she began, sighing again. "Look at the time please."
Um...ok. I looked over to where the clock sat upon the bedside table. 5:23 AM it read.
"Oh.." I replied getting a somewhat annoyed sideways glance from Peach.
"Yea..." she began, getting back under her covers and turning towards the wall. "Go back to sleep, and please...never wake me up before it's time to actually get up, unless there's and actual emergency."
"Um...ok" I said, doing the same.
Woah, someone seemed a little mean. She must really not like waking up early. Well neither do I but already I can control my attitude. Sadly I don't feel tired.
I turn away from the wall looking towards Peach again when the faint light from outside reflects off of something casting a golden light on my face. I move closer to the bedside table inspecting the source of the glow and spotted my triforce pendant. It was given to me by my nursemaid Impa when I was younger for learning the history of Hyrule quickly.
The one thought of my nursemaid, and my life as a child, seemed to break down a mental wall allowing thoughts to flood my mind like the castle moat after a week of rain...(seriously...why am I so poetic all of a sudden...)
I miss Impa so much...she's always been the mother figure in my life since my mother sadly died in childbirth. My father says it was a real tragedy that I never met my mother but I don't know what would've changed if I actually would have met her. Slowly, one by one, questions began associating themselves with each of my memories.
What would my life have been like with just the little change of having a mother? Would I still be so close to Impa or would she be just another castle servant to me? Who would've taught me all I know, would it have been my mother or would she have been to busy with her 'queenly' duties? Would I still be going to school here or would I be somewhere else hosting galas like all the other queens that were before her? Who would be by my side during all those sleepless nights where I would wake up, terrified from nightmares, would it have been my mother or the woman who accepted me and raised me as if I were her own child?
All these questions with no answers, all these uncompleted memories without my mother that were somewhat filled in by Impa's time and patience with me. Even though I don't technically have a mother, I do in a way and she just happens to be one of the best substitute mothers that I could have ever had.
I wonder what would've happened if Impa was my mother...if instead of a Hylian what if I was born a Sheikah...I'm pretty sure nothing would've really changed much besides me growing up in a castle and not knowing who my mother was. I'm not really sure if I would still go to this school or not but I guess it would've been a pretty great life.
Well that wouldn't be a big change...would it? I don't think it would have...
I look back over at the clock. 6:18 AM it read. Wow so I've been questioning myself for almost an hour already...that's kinda surprising because I never really go on thinking like that for much time.
Wow all that from just seeing my pendant again...well I guess I should do something else for the rest of the time we have until we're supposed to get up...maybe that'll help me stop thinking so much for a while...
