Zelda didn't move. She cried for what felt like hours on his torn tunic, trying to think through the fuzz in her brain, on how she can save her hero. She would never leave him; there was no reason to go on without him there. Slowly, she lifted her head, and glanced at the sleeping boy. His beauty choked her, his cute messy hair, his once rosy cheeks, and his soft pink lips. She wanted more than anything to have him back, to have him alive. She closed her watery eyes, thinking back to everything they`ve done. If they knew that those days would some of his last, they would`ve changed everything. They would`ve cherished their every second together, but now…now it was too late. If only she could think of something to save him. She lifted her carrier to her lap weakly, and took out the empty bottle. Was there time to go get more heart potion? How could she leave him here? Was there any other healing thing she could use within reach? The Goddess began searching the room for answer when her eyes stopped at the north door. The sacred water! It's in the spring! Why hadn't she thought of this before? She quickly sprung up, and ran to the door.
With no time to waste, she leaped in the cool liquid, refreshing her skin from the salt of sweat and tears, and sprinted to the nearby waterfall. Fairy's floated around her, twinkling with fuchsia dust, but she focused on the task alone. She dipped the bottle in the sacred water, collecting the magic. It was filled so well, the water dripped along the edges as she plugged the cap. She spun back around, the current creating it harder to run, as she dashed back to the boss room. When she reached the hero, she crouched beside him, placing a hand on his broken thigh. Slowly, she pulled his sweat pants to his knees, lifted his tunic enough to examine the wound. The cut ran deeper than she thought, and she could see the bone through the blood and ripped skin. Quickly, she released the cork and poured the water on the boy's cold skin. She waited patiently for it to work, begging for it to save him. She scanned her eyes along his chest, waiting for it to lift, in sign that she had saved him. Unfortunately, a few minutes past, and she realized it wasn't going to work. Luckily, she was persistent enough try again. This time, she grabbed a hold of his worn out leather boots, and tugged on it. The limp boy's arms hung beside his head, his hair sagging over his tilted face. She grunted quietly as she pulled the strong man to the other end of the room, at the door. Finally, she had opened it, and brought Link into the next room. She lightly tossed him over the edge into the water, jumped beside him, and dragged him to the waterfall. She took a seat in the water beside him, and began to fully undress the wound, pulling his pants to his knees and the tight green tunic up again. Every time she pushed the annoying the thing up, it would fall down over his thigh again. This time, she had to make sure the water seeped into his skin, affecting his body completely. The boy was drenched in the brisk water, chilling him more than he was. She believed that was a good thing; the more water entering him, the better.
"Please…please work…" She prayed to herself. Still, the room remained silent, regardless of the chirps from tiny birds. Patiently, she waited for the water to use it's power and to save her friend. She knew if this didn't work, she didn't have an answer. She didn't have another plan, she just hoped she wouldn't need one. A minute or so pasted, before she became worried. She avoided the thought that it was over, even if she knew nothing was going to change. The girl's heart raced as she reached out to his face, slowly running her hand along his soft frost bitten skin. Tears began streaming down her cheeks at the touch of his raw body. "Link..." She took a deep breath in, and listened to her voice crack as she sang to him quietly. "Oh y-youth…guided by the servant of the G-Goddess…u-unite Earth and S-Sky…and b-bring light to land…" She smiled lightly at him, remembering the Wing Ceremony, how beautiful the day had started. If only the tornado hadn't come. If only nothing had changed. "I-I know you remember that song…I remember how much you loved it." She closed her eyes, feeling the wetness overflow over her eyelashes. "Yes, I remember now…" The girl let go of herself, throwing herself onto his chest again. She sobbed into his tunic, holding onto the loose threads. "I'm so sorry, Link. If I just stayed with you, instead of running away…It-It's all my fault!" She cried out. "I-I was stupid…I guess I couldn't think clearly… I wanted you to trust me… I wanted you to think how great I was… I wanted to know you loved me, because I was in love with you…I know that now…from the day I first saw you, I l-loved you…"
The stillness of the room was broken, only a few seconds after, by a familiar chuckle. "R-Really?"
"Of course I-" Suddenly a frail hand touched her back, and she jerked up in shock. "Link?!" She looked back at his face, and his wonderful azure eyes were revealed again. She had forgotten how beautiful they were. "You're…You're alive?!" She shook her head with shock, her heart confused, yet filled with joy. "You're…back!" She cheered, and he joined her, both laughing in harmony.
"I-I'm back!" The hero repeated, before calmly continuing. "Thank you…for saving me." She blushed slightly as she pushed a strand hair behind her pointy ear, embarrassed, yet proud that she had done it. Her eyes closed as she smiled again, and Link took the opportunity. He stretched out, feebly holding himself up with his hand, and brushed her lips with his own. The marvellous moment lasted longer this time, neither of them feeling the need to part. Butterflies stirred inside both of them, before they slowly let go. They quickly avoided eye-contact, feeling somewhat shy. After all that's happened, they still hadn't gotten over how much their feelings affected each other. After regaining her boldness, the girl glanced back for a moment, admiring the light that reflected from his eyes. The hero was so perfect, so graceful and serene. How could it ever have happened that she had almost lost him? How could that have been only moments ago? Before he noticed she had returned her focus to him, she broke into tears again. Zelda wrapped her arms tightly around him, and he clasped his eyes closed as he placed a hand on her back. The young girl wept into his chest, as he slowly rocked them side to side, whispering into her hair faintly. "Shh…don't cry. It's all better now…It's all over…I'm here…" He gently kissed the golden locks, as he began stroking her hair. "I'm here…" She took a few quick breaths before calming down slightly. "It's okay..." When she tore away, the boy could see the red illuminating into her eyes and he knew how hard this must've been for her. The Goddess sniffled as he used his thumb to wipe away a tear. She smiled at him, her blue eyes shining with satisfaction.
Both of their hearts settled down, as the sound of her voice calmly whispered to him once more. "Let's go home."
A/N…Hey everyone! Well, that's it, I guess. Wow, this is really the end, huh. I want to know what you thought of the story, the chapter. Please, share you're thoughts. I can't believe this story became so…so amazing. It was just a small story, but I got such great reviews, and everyone said they loved it so that is really fantastic! I didn't even plan to make this an official story, I was just fed up with my older one, I started over. It's just…wow. I feel so grateful to all of you, thank you so much for supporting me this whole time. I got comments for EVERY chapter, and I am so fortunate to be able to say that. I hope this story was as great as I thought it was. I love you all soo very much, I can't say it enough. I hope you all liked the chapter, and the whole story. Please, tell me what you think! I thought the ending was kind of flat, I don't know. Should I do an epilogue? I had such a sweet thing planned, but I don't want to continue if you guys think this was enough. Please, I would love to hear what you think about on that. Again, thank you so much for following, favorite-ing, reviewing, and of course, reading. I appreciated it soo much.
I don't know if this is good-bye, for fan fiction. I know I really need to be focusing on schoolwork now that summer's over. I might write another story. If you'd like that, I'd love to hear suggestions or opinions. Thank you, soo much! I love you!
