These Moments I Hold Dear

Chapter 3

For You I Will

-x-x-x-

The lake shone with the light of the setting sun. It's blue surface was dyed golden, while the sky was red. Everything was quiet near Lake Hylia. Even the two figures sitting on the small island in the middle of the lake were quiet and even still to a point they looked likt single shadows in a world of Twilight. And really, one was.

They sat side by side, one tall, one short. One female, one male. One human, one Twilian.

Wondering the streets, in a world underneath it all
Nothing seems to be, nothing tastes as sweet
As what I can't have

Red eyes glared at the Twilight, and for a moment, the black and light purple imp felt at home. Twilight in this world was similar to what her realm always looked like. But of course, it wasn't the same. But still, her amber and ruby eyes gleamed with the relief of being in a home away from home.

Midna was her name, a sharp tongued, tempermental female with the ability to make even the strongest warriors cringe. No one had ever seen a soft side of her, not even herself. And the feelings that plagued her right now made her feel sick, but in a strangely wonderful way. And she had no idea what it was she was feeling.

She looked over at the blonde haired blue eyed teenager, whose hair and eyes glowed near red in the dying light of day. He seemed so calm, so different than how he was during their adventure. But he himself offered the one day vacation as they were heading for the Gerudo Desert. They hadn't rested in many, many days.

He looked her way and she looked away quickly, eyes glowing in the dying light. Looking at Link always felt like someone had punched her in the stomach.

Like you and the way that you're twisting your hair
round your finger
Tonight I'm not afraid to tell you
What I feel about you.

"I love the setting sun," he said suddenly, kicking his feet into the water, splashing it. Midna glanced over at him, that glint in her eye that suggested she was hiding something.

And indeed she was.

"And why is this?" the imp asked, crossing her arms. He smiled, and Midna felt like her whole world depended on that smile. Just to keep her alive.

"Just...It's so beautiful.." He sighed, looking down at the water for a moment. Midna watched him another moment before turning to the horizon. What was the big deal? Was it just because she lived in the light of the setting sun that she didn't realize the beauty of it? She cocked her head in confusion, turning her glinting eyes back to Link.

"Why? What's the big deal?" Her voice was the same snappish irritable voice it had been when they first started their journey. Link looked back at her, his legs resting in the clear water.

"What do you mean? It's just beautiful..." His eyes glimmered with confusion toward the imp. Midna suddenly felt very stupid. "Don't you think so?"

I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
and cannon ball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
For you I will

Midna looked from Link to the sky. Sure, it was pretty. But it wasn't what she would call beautiful. She looked to Link finally, narrowing her eyes.

"It's pretty, but not beautiful." He eyed her with that strange look in his eyes, one that suggested he knew something she didn't. She hated that look. It just made her want to explode and tell him she loved him.

"What?" she snapped, her eyes flickering madly. Link smiled again, Midna's heart skipped another beat, and shook his head.

"I just thought you would find it beautiful as well..." he said slowly, glancing at her.

"I do! I mean, it's just a setting sun, right? You can see it anytime."

"You can."

This perplexed Midna. What did he mean by this? She hated it when he spoke in riddles and paraphrases.

"What's that supposed to mean?" she replied, but Link didn't answer. The sun finally set over the lake, and left the two in darkness. The only sound was their breathing, and Midna could swear, her heartbeat.

What made her feel this way? This was so new to her. Were Twili supposed to feel like this? In the darkness, she lifted her hand to her pounding heart, her eyes wide and glowing in the darkness. People of the Twilight and people of the Light weren't supposed to fall in love.

Forgive me if I stutter
From all of the clutter in my head
Cuz I could fall asleep in those eyes
Like a water bed

And yet, fall in love was what Midna had done.

She heard Link shuffle in the darkness, her glowing eyes suddenly narrowed. She too stood, though she couldn't see anything. Not wanting to appear chicken or anything, she started to walk after Link as he started moving.

That was a mistake.

Her Twilight-seeking vision refused to get used to the darkness. She squinted and ran her hand in front of her face, but it was impossible to even see it. She took two steps, and the third one she found herself falling forward. She gave a small cry before her entire body met icy cold water, and she was forced to shut her mouth. If it was even possible, darker darkness met her vision, and she felt herself floating downward. Fear gripped her heart, and it pounded painfully in her chest. She tried to swim, but her small arms and legs refused to let her float upwards, and instead, she dipped farther into the deep water.

After a few seconds, she felt her entire body become numb, and her futile efforts slowed until she was finally forced to quit. This was it. In four steps at Lake Hylia, Midna had ended it all. After all she had been through, she had just killed herself by falling into water.

Do I seem familiar, i've crossed you in hallways
a thousand times, no more camouflage
I want to be exposed, and not be afraid to fall.

Her chest felt like it was on fire, and the moment she inhaled air, her vision faded as she choked.

Link...Help me...

-x-x-x-

Being wolf at several points during this adventure, Link's vision had grown, and he could see clearly in the dark, almost as well as he could in the light. As he stood and stretched, he could see Midna staring at him in the darkness. His breath caught in his throat, and his heart stopped momentarily.

How was it he fell so hard for her?

With a gentle sigh, he started walking toward the bridge, his feet quiet on the ground. His thoughts were on Midna and why he felt so warmly for her, even though she was a pain in the side. He smiled. Thinking of Midna had that kind of impression on him. He would always smile whenever he heard her speak, thought or said her name, or even looked at her.

How strange love was.

Only the sound of splashed water and a frightened yelp broke him from his thoughts. He turned around in time to see Midna crash through the surface of the water. Fear tugged at his heart as she disappeared into the water.

"Midna!" he shouted, leaping forward. Despite having good vision, he couldn't see into the darkness the water offered. He couldn't see Midna anywhere. Could Twilian's swim? He hoped so, but he knew he had to do something. Against his common sense, Link took a gulp of air and dived into the water.

I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
And cannon ball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will

Immediatly, the coldness attacked him, and he felt his body ready to shut down. But he swam, forcing his arms and legs to move. He shivered, but ignored it. Midna had to be saved. She couldn't die.

Link...Help me...

He stopped. Her voice broke the barrier of his mind, and he looked around franticly. A moment later he saw her, and her amber and ruby eyes shut at that moment, her body floating away. The icy numbness making his vision blurry, Link franticly pushed himself forward, trying to reach the drowning imp. After what seemed like forever, Link reached her and wrapped his arms around her tiny body. His lungs were burning, but his heart was pounding harder in fear. One arm around the Twilight Princess, Link used his other arm to pull himself up, swimming against the coldness that pierced his body. It seemed like forever, but the moment he was ready to let go and die, he broke the surface, taking large gulps of breath while swimming toward the shore.

You always want what you can't have
But I've got to try
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
For you I will
For you I will

For you

His body slammed into it, and he pulled Midna onto the shore, water dripping off of him. His chest heaved with coughs and he collasped once Midna was safely on shore. His body shook with cold, but his eyes remained on Midna. To his utter relief, her small body was rising and falling. Though her eyes remained closed, she was alive, that was really all that matter.

Still shivering, Link crawled to her, pressing against her small frame, trying to warm both of them. The air wasn't cold, and seemed to warm him up a bit. After a few minutes, he stopped shivering and sat up to watch Midna. Her chest rose and fell evenly, and her eyes were shut. A worried frown crossed his face, and he pushed her hair that had fallen onto her forhead back. With that single minute, Midna's eyes fluttered, and they opened. Link froze, watching as her gaze flickered to him, her amber and ruby eyes dull.

If I could dim the lights in the mall
And create a mood I would
Shout out your name so it echos in every room
I would

That's what I'd do, That's what I'd do to get through to you

"L...Link?" she said hoarsely, and Link nodded, stroking her hair back again. She looked at him and smiled gently before she closed her eyes again. "T-Thank..." She couldn't even finish before she fel back into unconcsciousness. He smiled slightly, scooping up the small imp in his arms.

I love you...

His eyes shimmered in the darkness, but he pretended to not even notice the imp's thoughts. Those were her private thoughts, and he was obviously not supposed to hear it. All the same, he looked down at her face, gently as she slept, and his smile widened.

I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
And cannon ball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will

I love you too...

He carried her back to their camp.

You always want what you can't have
But I've got to try
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
For you I will
For you I will
For you I will

End of Chapter

-x-x-x-

Awww! 3 I liked it. The beginning is cruddy, but the rest is good, I think. Just to clear up confusion, Midna and Link's thoughts collide as they sleep. In this case, Midna's thoughts collided with his while he was awake. He'll remember it, but Midna won't. This will happen several times during the novelization, which I plan to continue writing soon. It's been hectic here, and I'm going to Indiana this weekend, so I'll get my aunt, which some of you know on fictionpress as partingissuchsweetsorrow, to help me. xD Check her out on fiction press.

Until next time!
