LINK POV
Link woke up in the middle of the night, it was 3 maybe 4 am. What woke him up was not the sound of the small carnival that was being celebrated by the Hylian people. It was loud, but not loud enough to bother him. What woke him up was the smell. He stood up from the bed, entered his bathroom and threw some water on his face. Then lighted a candle and breathed in deeply.
Its HER. I thought maybe Edna had shifted the soap she uses for laundry, but… damn. I am having trouble, is this going to be my calvary every month?
Link stands tall, rolls his neck and then notices a blood stain on his leg.
"AHHHH!" Zelda screams.
Link grabs the candle and rushes to her side to hush her. The diming light the candle offered showed the Princess's face bathed in her own tears.
"I AM DYING" the Princess screams.
"No, you are not" Raziel lifts the sheet from her "you are only bleeding" he sits on the bed next to her.
Zelda begins to throw punches at him "THAT IS HOW PEOPLE DIE YOU MOTHERFU-" Link slaps her and harshly grabs her by the shoulders.
The Hero breaths in deeply "I have tried to remain calm through this, even though you stained my sheets and bed, but you are fucking insufferable"
Zelda wanted to say something, but the only thing that came out were sobs and tears. She started trembling in fear and her sobs turned into pained cries. Link stares at the pitiful scene in front of him.
This… it's her first time, isn't it? but, she is 13. Shouldn't it have happened when she was 11 or so?
He sighs and chooses to throw a bone at her "You are not dying, the blood and the pain is normal, it happens to every female once a month"
Zelda stops her sobs and stares at Link. Then her eyes grow wide "Are you telling me this IS the start of my cycle?"
Link nods and points at his bathroom. She stands and heads there closing the door, she needed to verify that the blood was coming from her lady parts. Link then hears the Princess weeping inside, so he enters the bathroom and finds her sitting in a corner smiling and cleaning her tears.
"I am sorry if I scared you… these are happy tears. I am just very glad to have finally started to bleed. I thought there was something wrong with me… that maybe I was infertile"
Link sighs and rolls his eyes, offering his had to pull her up "13 is later than most, but you are not the first one and DEFINETLY won't be the last one… let me change the sheets so we"
"NO, no. It's too late in the night for you to be taking care of this… go sleep at my room. I will write a note for Chacha, then I will catch up with you"
Link cover his face with both his hands and slowly brings them down "Can't do that. It's not proper of me to enter the Princess dorm in the middle of the night. And before you say anything about it, it's different when YOU enter my dorm. I can't allow myself to do something like that"
Zelda smiles at him sweetly "I thought you said that you were not a gentleman"
"And I stand by that, I am not. Hence why I allow you to sleep with me. But I AM A MAN. And any respectable man won't be slipping inside a girl's dorm in the middle of the night"
Zelda nods defeated "Fair, but going trying to clean and dry your bed won't do either. I really wetted your bed… lets sleep on the floor. I will go to my room to change; you should put some blankets for us to lay on" she says as she hurries out of hell.
*Well, she adjusted to you and solved the sleeping predicament*
Solved it only for herself. Me on the other hand, I am stuck with her hormonal smell tempting me to fuck her.
*Start clearing your head by expressing correctly. You don't want to fuck her; you want to rape her. I admit that watching her face writhe in fear sounds delightful. But we can't back down on our promise to Derick*
I know that, and I will never back down on my word. I will just have to push through this… I do need to ask since I am puzzled, why does the Princess affect me this way? No other woman has ever made me feel this way with their body odor.
*Because you ABHOR ZELDA. As I said, you don't want to satiate any sexual desire, you want to destroy her*
ZELDA POV
The Princess cleaned herself and changed her sleeping attire using the cloth rags as Queen Claire had instructed her to do.
I understand now why mom once told me that I would need to check on my rags and change them often during the day. THAT WAS SO MUCH FUCKING BLOOD. I believe Link will have to ask for a new bed. I… should visit Saria tomorrow. She knows what herbs to eat for the pain right? Will Ziel allow me to do that instead of exercising tomorrow?
The Princess left her room walked towards hell slowly, she felt that if she walked fast, she could end up staining herself and the floor. Once she reached Link's door, she was about to just open it and enter… but she hesitated and choose to knock instead. Soon the Prince opened the door and leaned against the doorframe with an arm.
"Are you going to let me inside?" Zelda asks.
"Are you going to ask me to invite you in?" Link counters.
Zelda half smiles and closes her eyes "Prince Raziel, I am tired and a little shaken. Would you allow me to sleep in your room with you?"
Link steps to a side allowing her to enter. She enters smiling and right before laying on the blanquettes that Ziel placed on the floor, she turns to stare directly at the Hero.
"I have 2 things to say; would you please listen?"
Link nods. Zelda clears her throat and starts "First. I am sorry, I should not have broken the way I did, I allowed fear to take control of me. I am the Princess, I should have been able to keep my composure instead of screaming like a banshee. And I should not have raised my fists against you either... Thank you for that slap, I deserved it"
THERE. I started claiming that I was wrong, and even thanked him for turning my head around with a slap… THAT should predispose him to agree to the demand I am about to make, right?
Link just stared at her and acknowledged her apology with a small nod.
She smiles "And second, I don't think I should be doing exercise or sword training during my cycle, it will be like squirting a ketchup bottle" she giggles a little at the idea
The Princess continues "And I am having cramps; I would love to visit Saria for advice on that… could we do that instead of sword training?"
Link half smiles and starts clapping "That was a good way of swaying me into agreeing with your demand, I will give you that"
DAMN, just how much does he know me and how? I must be wary from now on, he seems to read me like an open book.
"And no, I can't go with you to visit Saria, you have to go by yourself, hope you don't mind."
"Wait" she breaths in deeply "I am understanding that I can skip training tomorrow and visit Saria. Am I correct?"
Link nods "After your lessons with your other teachers of course, your period is no excuse to miss those"
Zelda claps happy and starts to lay on the floor, but then looks up at him and asks "Why exactly can't you come with me?"
"I will be heading the other world, I have some unfinished business there… and NO, I am not taking you with me, neither will I tell you what I am doing. I will be back the same day"
He doesn't want to take me... why? What is he doing? Is it even SWORD related? Maybe I am reading too much into this. I will be visiting Saria tomorrow, so I should be happy and forget about this.
LINK POV
Link woke up at 6 am groaning. He draws his cellphone from under his pillow to turn of the alarm, then checks on Zelda. He finds the Princess sound asleep.
Good, I feared my sensitive Princess would also be able to feel the vibration of my silent alarm and wake up. I am glad that so far, the only sense I should be weary of it's her sense of smell.
He stood up slowly, wrote a note and left it under his cellphone on his desk. Of course he was not taking his cellphone, he needed SWORD to believe he was in Hyrule. Link changed and left his dorm.
--------------------LATER THAT SAME DAY----------------------
Link traveled to Florida and currently stood at the entrance of ZooTampa. He was discreetly following a man who happened to be visiting with his family, which consisted of his wife, his teen daughter and his rampant young son. Once the family descended from their truck, the man headed to pay for their tickets to enter the Zoo. The boy was completely hyped by the visit, the girl was preparing her professional camera to shot pictures during the visit, while the mother and father kissed and hugged sweetly. Link purposely bumped with the little boy making him fall back on his butt.
"Whoa, sorry there" the Hero stretched his hand to help the boy up, both parents instantly approached worried and a little angry. The father was about to start berating, and Link was more than ready to answer, but the teenage daughter came to his rescue.
"HOLD IT DAD, he did nothing wrong; your gremlin was running rampant as always, you should put a leash on him" she looks up and down at Link and winks at him. Ziel smiles charmingly before asking her.
"YOU, and your family are going to the Zoo, right?"
The girl smiles flirtatiously "Yes and no, we are going in, but my parents are taking my little brother to the petting zoo area only. I will go around the whole zoo, but not for a visit. Just to take pictures of the megafauna for a school project… how about you?"
"Going in for a visit, just waiting for my friends to arrive, I guess I will be seeing you in there" Link says as he taps on her nose.
The tennage girl smiles and blows him a kiss "I will be waiting… remember, I will be around the megafauna" she says as she waves good bye following after her brother and mother. The father tuned and gave Link a menacing look before following his family.
Identity confirmed.
Link thought identifying the man as one of the 3 psychos in Robert's drawings. He casually walked into the parking and approached the man's truck and ¨accidentally¨ dropped a few coins. He knelt down to pick them, but in reality, he placed a tracker under the vehicle.
Time to head back to Hyrule.
*WTF, really? That is all you are going to do?*
Yes… He hurt my brother's vessel in a way that transcends even death, since it still affects him even though it happened long before he inhabited the body.
What I plan on doing to this pig of a man is not PG-13. And since I would love for Robert to witness all of it, I have to wait a few years for Robert's sake… I am not repeating the abuse cycle by making him watch now at this tender age, I need him to be older to fully enjoy this vengeance. In the meantime, I must keep track of this abuser and protect him from ever being targeted by SWORD, because I HAVE BE THE ONE TO MAKE HIM PAY.
*Got it, you still need to find the other two though…. Waiting for Blast to turn 18 sounds like torture*
Good thing is that I don't mind the wait… I am a VERY patient man.
