How A Princess Fights.

Nightmare Scenario.

She smiled broadly as her heart beat so fast she was worried it would burst out of her chest. She looked beside her and beamed up at the smiling face of her father who carefully placed the veil over her face.

Taking a deep breath, the doors to the hall opened at the two begun to talk, their arms linked, towards the end of the hall. She saw everyone! Her mother was there, a proud smile upon her face as she watched her daughter walk down the isle. She saw Impa, whom she had known from a small age, also wearing a smile.

Then her attention was turned to the one waiting for her at the alter. She smiled again, utter happiness filling her thoughts as she neared him. His face was blurred by her veil but not for long...

He carefully lifted it off her face and she leant in, eyes closed, for a kiss...

"Remove!" Ganondorf bellowed, ripping off Zelda's wedding dress, leaving her exposed in her underwear.

He moved forward and tore those off as well, leaving her stark naked in front of all the guests.

She cried out for Link to save her but no matter how much she screamed, he wouldn't rescue her. She searched with her eyes through the crowd of horrified guests but she still couldn't see him...

Zelda awoke in a fit of tears for the hundredth time that week. She thrashed around helplessly as her nightmare continued to plague her. She knew that she couldn't do anything about it so she just cried.

She wept for what seemed like hours as she mulled over what she had seen. That night, the dream had been different, she had seen more than before.

She turned over on the bed and saw Link, he was still just laying there. His cheeks seemed to have more colour than they did and his breathing was improving.

She studied him, every scar, every bruise, every burn. Her eyes welled up with a new batch of tears as she knew that all, except a few, were inflicted on him because of her. If they had never met, then Link would have probably been able to live a long and happy life. Both he and Lyrah would be alive and well.

The first light of dawn peeked in through the window and Zelda sat up to wipe away her tears. She pulled herself together and gave Link's hand a squeeze before she got up and left the room.
