The Legend of Zelda: Everlasting (2nd book in the Timeless series)

Chapter 21

Yup, that's right. Two updates in one night. I'm on a roll lol. Don't expect this all the time though, I'm just not busy today lol. Ok, enjoy!
Zelda sighed, pushing herself up from the table and walking outside. She was tired of waiting. Link had to know, now.
She walked over to where they had set up the training grounds. A small women took notice of her and walked over,
"What do you need, majesty?" She asked, crossing her arms. It was obvious she wanted to get back to work,
"I need to speak with Link," she said firmly,
"Afraid that's not possible. He's pretty busy with the trainees, don't want to interrupt his focus. I'll tell him you stopped by," she said, turning to walk away. Zelda was done taking no for an answer. He was her husband after all,
"No. It is possible, and it is happening. I was not asking for your permission. Frankly, I'm wondering just who convinced you it was right to talk to royalty like that. Now, either fetch him for me or move aside," she demanded, crossing her arms. Sure, it might sound mean, but it had been weeks. He needed to know already. Sometimes you have to take charge.
The girl looked shocked. She remained silent for a moment, before slowly nodding,
"Y-yes ma'am," she turned and ran over to where Link was talking to a man across the field. Zelda then became nervous. How would she tell him? She played with her hands.
That's when a cloth was pressed against her mouth and nose from behind. She could only struggle for a moment before everything went dark.

Falling
And
Leaving
Love,
In its place
Never-ending
Grief

Zelda gasped and her head shot up. She was sitting up against a tree. She wasn't tied up or restricted in any way. She stood up slowly. She wasn't even that far from Kakariko. What was the point of this? She walked forward, heading back towards the town.
Smack!
She ran face-first into something she couldn't see. She shook her head, confused. She then reached out her hand. It touched what felt like a wall, but she only saw the air in Hyrule Field,
"What in Hyrule?" She murmured to herself. She saw a Goron rolling towards the town, not far from where she was, "Hey!" She called loudly. Nothing. She banged on the invisible barrier. Again, the Goron didn't seem to hear her,
"It's useless, miss Queen. Nobody can hear or see you. One of my master's finest works." She groaned,
"Oh my goddesses, why are you ALWAYS around kidnapping me?!" She demanded, turning around. Dark Link mocked hurt,
"That isn't a proper way to greet someone!" He walked forward, "You might want to be nice to me. After all, I am in charge of your fate." He smiled widely, his sharp teeth showing. Zelda wasn't fazed,
"We've gone through this many times. You think I care about your threats anymore?" She asked, looking bored. His smile didn't falter,
"Maybe not, but they should. You see, Queenie, I happen to know your little secret," his smile grew as he placed his hand on her stomach gently. She froze,
"I..."
"You might not care what happens to you, but I'm sure you care what happens to your little Link Jr. "
His sharp nails dug into her skin.
~~
"Good! Keep going!" Link encouraged the man,
"Sir! The Queen demands your presence," Kitri called, walking up to him,
"Right now?" He asked. Now wasn't really the best time,
"Yeah. She wouldn't take a no," she said with the slightest hint of attitude. He sighed,
"Keep going. I'll be right back," he instructed the man before walking over to the entrance. Nobody was there,
"Zelda?" He called,
"Right here!" She replied, walking up, "Sorry, a woman from town needed to talk to me for a moment," he nodded,
"No problem. What was it you needed?" He asked,
"I just feel like I'm not doing enough. I want to be as much help as possible." She said. He smiled and put a hand on her shoulder,
"Don't worry about that, love. Just being there with the women during this time is plenty. The men are getting stronger, so it won't be much longer until I'll be able to be with you more," she nodded, smiling slightly.
~~
"I hate you," Zelda hissed. Dark Link smirked,
"Oh, but I hate you more!" He said with mock love.
~~
"I love you," she said. Link smiled,
"Oh, but I love you more," He said with love.
