It was a crazy day, already. They stayed on her bed, sitting next to each other, for what felt like hours. But it couldn't have been more than ten minutes, alone. It was only midday, and Link planned in his head what to do that day. He liked to plan now, as Zelda inspired him just yesterday. It didn't feel like yesterday they danced in each other arms. That felt like years ago, and Zelda hadn't remembered a thing since that night. Link guiltily still wanted to be with her again, like that. Just if that night lasted a few seconds longer, he would've known what she tasted like, he would've known what she felt like, and most importantly, they would've kissed. He would've been able to think about that while he recovered her memory daily. Instead, he tries to forget about it so that he can focus everything else. He didn't need a kiss. It wasn't his main concern. Just a few days ago; he didn't know he wanted one. Now, that's the thing that distracts him from goals.
No, forget it. He needed to think about it how she forgot everything in their lives. That was an important issue.
He ignored his conscience and drifted off in thought again. If she could remember one thing, what would I want it to be? Would it be the people, or the creatures? The adventures they had last year, or their childhood? He asked himself, ignoring the fact he already knew the answer. He didn't want to admit to it, for it felt selfish, and inconsiderate. To use her memory for one night, one dance? No, it should be for something she needed to know…well more than that.
If it were her choice, she'd probably choose something really important, like the adventures, right? She would want to remember the people and creatures though…What am I doing? That's so foolish, to think she could have such an opportunity. Focus on her, she's right here.
"I have plans, for tonight. Impa said replaying memories would help you recover, and I have a few that we should do again."
"Really, that's great! I really love all the things you've done for me." She smiled and put her hand on his lap.
"It's no problem, it's going to fun." He took her hand with both of his, and held it in between. She laughed a bit, as he rocked their hands back and forth. "Do you want me to leave you alone for a bit? There's been a lot of commotion these last few days. I don't want to deprive you of alone time." He offered.
"Well, I guess that would be nice. Where can I find you later?"
"I'm usually in my room, but maybe I'll go check out the surface. They've been there for a while; it's making me a bit nervous."
"Alone? Don't you want…err…someone to come with you? I could come if you'd like."
"No, it's okay. I really don't want you in any more danger. I'm sorry, but it's too risky to have you back there."
She looked slightly disappointed, but nodded. "I understand. It's fine, but take care, okay?"
"I will." He stood up, and paced to the door. "I'll see you later. Bye."
"Bye." She lay on her bed, feeling somewhat comfortable. He seems trustworthy right? Obviously he knows almost everything about me. I love how he makes me feel. It feels so…nice. He's kind of sweet. And his hand…it's so soft. I wonder if there are any more clues around here to who he is. Or…who I am.
She stood back up and went into her desk, scurrying through her stuff. There were assignments, pens, and study notes. Everything in here wasn't interesting at all. She moved over to her shelves, scavenging through the books, and more papers. She stopped when she found a few letters hiding in between them. Letters? Why do I hide letters in my shelves? She opened one of the few and went to sit on her chair.
"Dear Zelda,
Okay, I'll try it. It sounds like it'll work!
For your problem, I think you should follow your heart. It sounds corny, but if you're asking me for advice, corny is what you`ll get. I don't know how to deal with this, honestly. You're always helping me, and I feel guilty for not being as helpful as you. You're really great, Zelda. Whatever choice you make, I know it will work out. I wish I could be there with you, comforting you at the least. I hope to be home soon.
-Link"
Link…wrote this to me? It's so …thoughtful, but what does he mean "for your problem," and "I don't know how to deal with this." What problems did I have? She opened another one, completely out of order.
"Dear Zelda,
Not much has changed on the Surface over the night. I guess he hasn't made his mark yet. The Kikwi's are fine. They told me to make sure you know that, since you saw them in danger last time. What's new at home? Is everyone okay? Are you going to be going to school again? Tell me everything. I'll write to you back soon. I'll be sure to take care of myself so that I can see you again. Have fun!"
Your best friend,
Link."
He seems very fond of coming home, and being with me again. That's…really sad. He must've been so disappointed when he found out I lost my memory. He couldn't have that time he waited for with me…She read the last one.
"Dear Zelda,
Whoa! There is so much drama back home. It's the Wing Ceremony again? It feels like just yesterday the two of us were up on the statue doing the ritual. Pipit and Karane getting married?! Great! I wish them the best of luck. Same to Fledge and Kina. I think they make a nice couple together. It's quiet on the Surface, without you here. I met up with Ghirahim earlier, and he is so easy! Don't worry about me, I'm doing just fine. I just have one question, without the Master Sword, how do I get rid of Ghirahim for good? I just need your advice right now. Send me back when you can. I really miss you soo much Zelda! I can't wait to see you again. Don't forget to tell me who won!
-Link"
Wing Ceremony? That's what I wrote about in my diary! It's probably a really big thing here. If it's so important, why hasn't Link told me about it yet? What is the ritual? It says I did it last year with him, so that means he did win the knighthood. Wait, Link's a knight? I thought he was just a regular hero? Okay this is getting hard to keep up with. I should clear it up. So, I learned Link and I did the Wing Ceremony last year. Link won the knighthood, and we did the ritual together. Link is not only a knight, but a hero, and a friend. There.
Who are Pipit and Karane? I think they're friends of ours. I guess Fledge and Kina are too. It says that they both are couples, two engaged, and the others just together. It sounds like everyone was so in love when he wrote this. That's kind of cute! Love was in the air. I hope everything worked out for them. They sound like cute relationships… I wonder if I was ever in a relationship. No, I don't think so…it would've said in my diary, or at least Link would've told me.
…Ghirahim…that was the man Impa told me about. He was the one who took my memory away. I guess it wasn't that easy to defeat him after all. He was a very evil man. It sickens me! Why would anyone feel the need to ruin everybody else's lives? It doesn't matter cause he's gone now. After rethinking about everything, Zelda took a moment to admire the last few things Link wrote in all of his letters. "I wish I could be there, comforting you at the least." "I'll be sure to take care of myself so that I can see you again," "I can't wait to see you again." What a bother I am to him. I cause him so much trouble, but he never gives up on saving me, or helping. I was such a bad friend. I could never make it up to him. She sank in her chair, feeling upset with herself. I wish I could.
Okay, it didn't have action or much romance but I'm working on it. I was going to put a lot in the chapter, but then I realized how much I did write. I don't want a lot put into one chapter and then have it too fast or too busy. Sorry for the boring chapter, though I hope you like it anyway. I'll write a more impressive chapter next time. Thank you all for reading, and for the great reviews! I love it all so much!
