A Forgotten Love

He couldn't think straight, nor did he want to. The words still circling in his head, hunting him as he went on. The rain poured on him as he took each step. Nothing was right for him. Not one thing. At times like this he wished to be alone with Colin or someone else. But they weren't here, they were save in their own homes. With their families. He didn't even know if Epona was alright, and that worried him the most. He looked at the sky, sighing as a rain drop hit the ground, almost hitting him.

"They're having a much better life than me." Link told himself, "Unlike me, they HAVE parents to love them, help them, and much more." Another rain drop hit the ground, "Unlike me, who has no one."

"Link! Link! Wanna play?"

"Sorry Colin! I'm busy right now! Maybe later, okay?"

"Okay....See you later than!"

Colin. The boy. The boy who wanted to be like him. He was a big brother now, Link smiled at the thought of Colin playing with his baby sibling. So many thoughts raced through his head, many which included siblings and his friends. He hated the fact that he was here and not there. Not there to see the baby. Not see Colin's proud face.

"Then again, he's probably playing with the kid right now."

"Link! Link! Can we play now?"

"Yeah! I finished up work."

"Awesome!"

Link smiled at the memory. Such happy times. Happy times before evil came. Link stopped and looked at the sky, seeing how it stopped raining. He sighed. Why did he have to end up here? Why not someone else? Why was he always picked for handling danger? It didn't make any sense to him.

"What makes me special?" Link asked himself, "I'm like everyone else. Aren't I?"

It was never answered. Well, right now it wasn't. He had no clue if he was different or not. He was sure that it won't be answered but something answered it for him.

"You are different Link." He jumped and turned to see...Twilight? "Your so much different than us."

"That doesn't help Twilight." Link told the princess, "Nothing will ever help. So just go back to your...Brother."

"Shining Armor has been dealt with." Twilight noted, "He's no longer the captain of the guards."

"Then who is?" Link asked.

"We haven't decided on that yet," Twilight said, "We wanted your opinion."

"My opinion about who you choose?" Link said, confused. Twilight nodded, "Well, that guard I was about to fight is pretty good."

"Come back Link," Twilight told him, Link's eyes widen, "We need you back. Plus, the guards want to see you again."

"You'll come back right? Safe and sound?"

"I will Ilia. I promise, I will."

"Thank you. And don't worry about us, we'll be fine."

Safe and sound. Ilia. He'd forgotten about her. She was the last one, he'd found when looking for the kids. She was also the one to lose her memory. But luckily, she regained it.

"If I come back with you," Link began, "Shining Armor won't say anything about my parents. Promise? Or else, I will kill him."

"Promise."

Link sighed and started to head back with the Princess, feeling like he was making a mistake. But he wouldn't change his mind about anything. This was his moment to see how Shining Armor would react to him being there once more.

"Twilight, " Link started, "How did the others react to me leaving?"

"Celestia and Luna were pretty mad at Shining Armor, but all in all, they were shocked to see you leave."  Twilight told him.

"Well that sounds...Nice. I think."

"NO!" Shining Armor said, "W-Why!?"

"You made him run away, you weren't nice to him," Celestia went on, "And most of all, you aren't giving him a chance!"

Shining Armor looked at princesses him surprise, they took away his title. He was left with nothing. How would his family react to this? How would he live with this!?

"H-How am I going to tell my parents about this?" Shining Armor stuttered, then he saw Twilight and Link, "Twilight, please tell me you don't agree with this!"

"I do agree with this Shiny." Twilight told her brother, "I'm the one who told them to."

Link looked at the siblings and watched them fight about something stupid.

"Your fighting over something stupid." Link said, breaking up the fight, "Siblings shouldn't fight."

"What do you know about siblings?" Shining Armor asked, "Bet you know nothing."

"Knock it off," Link warned, "I'm not here to fight. I'm here to find a way home and help out with the guards."

"That tells me nothing Human."

"I'M NOT A HUMAN!" Link shouted, covering his mouth with his hands afterward. "Oops."

"If your not, then what are you?" Luna asked.

"I'm hylian. Humans and hylians are almost the same, but not quite." Link explained.

The princesses nodded, but Shining Armor glared at Link. He hated him, he was the reason why his title got taken away. He was going to do ANYTHING to get rid of him. And he meant anything. Whatever it took to make Link leave, Shining Armor was going to do.
