Ch. 3

"Good morning my sweet," James said. "Did you sleep well?"

"I don't know," I said while staring at him angrily.

"Don't be so mad," he said trying to be sweet. "You know you loved it?"

"Yeah, I love getting rammed," I said sarcastically.

"Whatever? I have other matters to attend to. I'm leaving for a trip to Castletown. I'll leave my guards to watch you at all times."

"OK"

Its a lot quieter without him anyway. That's just more time for me and Hays. But why does he have to go to Castletown? He doesn't ever go to Castletown except to go through it. Something isn't right and I want to know what he's planning.

Three days have gone by now. No word from James. But there has been a lot of shipments of bombs being brought to the castle. Strange, why were bombs being brought here? Is a war about to start? No, we haven't had a war here in decades. Not since the last time Ganondorf tried to take over Hyrule.

Hays walked in with a strange look on his face. He looked worried.

"What's wrong," I asked.

He stared at me for a little bit before he replied.

"James has partnered with Ganondorf!"

I couldn't believe it! Once enemies, now allies! Is he mad?! Ganondorf is nothing but trouble, but so is James.

"Why," I asked concerned.

"He is going to attack Princess Zelda's castle."

"How?"

"Our army and his bombs."

"What are we going to do?"

"Idk, I just don't know."

"What has Princess Zelda done to James to make him want to join Ganondorf?"

"Apparently she wouldn't fund us anymore money to help with our troops. But that is just a rumor. The other rumor is that she won't let any more food be distributed to us. But as I said, it's just a rumor."

"Have you heard of his return?"

"No. But I am going to sneak you out of here, tonight."

"We will get caught!"

"Not if I sneak you in a carriage going to Castletown."

"What if they catch us?"

"They won't. I know a guard that will sneak us to the carriages."

"Ok," I said hesitantly.

That night hays came into the room and unchained me. I grabbed a robe from the dresser and we met the guard. He helped Hays put me in the carriage and stacked hay on top of me. Hays and I said our goodbyes and he told me that he will find me when the war is over.

"I love you Alysa and when all this mess is through, I will find you and we can build a house out in the woods where no one can find us. We can be together for the rest of our lives."

"I love you too my sweet Hays. Please keep your promise?"

"I will my love. I won't fail you."

We kissed. I will miss those soft lips of his. As the carriage pulled away, the lantern that he was holding, was slowly fading away. All I could see was darkness. The hay poked into me. I was scared. What was waiting on me when I get to Castletown? Will the guard tell James and have guards sent out to find me? Will Hays get caught for sneaking me out and James have him executed?

I tried to get some sleep. I couldn't stop thinking about Hays. I looked out of the hay and saw the sun rising. It was beautiful. The orange and purple of the sky. The clouds so thin that you could see the other side. A magical moment. I just wish Hays could be next to me watching it too.

We made it to the town. It was so lively and full of people. I've only gone to Castletown once and that was when I was little. I don't remember a lot but I do remember a clothes shop somewhere around here.

The carriage stopped. I hopped out before anyone could see me. It was so crowded, and at this early in the morning. I walked into a nearby shop that sold clothes and other accessories. I picked out a purple dress with flowers on it. A boy walked in. He looked to about 17, 18 years old. He wore a green hat and a green tunic. He was carrying a shield and sword on his back. I remember stories Hays used to tell me about a boy with a green hat and a green tunic. He also had the Triforce of Courage on his left hand. I looked at the boys left hand. It was there! The stories are true. Now what was his name? I walked up to him.

"Hi," I said nervously, "I was wondering if I could ask you something. Do you mind?"

"No not at all," he said, "What did you want to ask?"

"I was wondering, what's your name?"

"My name is Link."

Hey guys! I have been thinking about making another story but I can't decide on what to write on. So I want you to take the poll on my profile and choose one please! Thank you!
