Throughout the whole 6 hour flight I didn't get one minute of sleep, I got a taxi from the airport to the lovely little village Link grew up in, it made me think, did the people who knew Link and his family know what went on?
I pay the Taxi driver before knocking on Link's mums door, at first nobody answered so I wait a few more seconds before knocking again and the door flings open
"What?" Mr Ordon says, if this is how he usually opens the door then they definitely know
Wait I thought he moved out, was it Ms Kokiri that moved out? Am I just walking into a bear trap?
"Oh Zelda, dear, come on in" Link's mother says appearing beside the angry man
"Who is this?" He asks, I'm slightly shocked, I suppose he only saw me once 3 years ago
"It's Link's girlfriend, remember"
"I'm his fiancée" I say with a small smile
"Oh how wonderful!" She says with a wide smile "my little baby has a fiancé!" She says happily
"Why are you here?" He asks looking me up and down
"Aryll left this at ours so I thought I would return it, I didn't know when we'd see her again and I didn't want her to go with out it" I say and Link's mother smiles at me
"Thats so kind of you" she says and my phone buzzes
"I've never seen that stupid thing in my life"
"Shows how much attention you pay to your daughter" she whispers, she knows she's never seen it either
"What did you say?" He asks, raising his arm as if he was about to slap her but his eyes turn to me and he lowers his arm
It's a miracle that Link is so kind and caring, when he's only ever known abuse
"I think you should go Gaepora" Miss Kokiri says in a quiet voices "go look after that cat of yours, she must be hungry" she says and he stares at her before looking me up and down again
"Fine" he says before walking out, slamming the front door behind himself
"I'm awfully sorry about that Zelda" she says walking back into the kitchen
"It's okay, Ms Kokiri," I say with a kind smile, trying to comfort me
"Oh I've given up with the formalities, please call me Fado" she says and I nod
"Right Fado....I want to apologise for my previous behaviour, all you ever done is be kind to me and I treated you terribly" I say
"It's alright Zelda, could you call Aryll for me?" She asks
"Actually I was wondering if I could talk to you" I say and she turns around putting the bowl of cereal on the table
"What is it?" She asks with a kind smile,
"Link has told me...everything and it's not a safe environment for Aryll--"
"You cant take my baby away from me! I wont let you!" She says
"I'm not going to, I want you to come with us" I say and her eyes widen in shock
"Me in London?" She asks and I nod
"All you need is an biometric resident permit, which you can get when your over there" I say and she shakes her head
"We have a life here, a home" she says
"A home full of abuse" I remind her
"He's gone"
"He comes back, he just did!" I say and I see her face change, she's debating with herself
"Zelda!" Aryll says running over and hugging me
"Aryll! I bought you this" I say passing her the seagull
"I love it! Thank you!" She says with a bright smile
"Have your food sweets" Fado tells Aryll pushing the bowl towards her "come" she tells me and I follow her into the living room "she has school"
"London has wonderful schools, I went to golden goddess secondary and look how I turned out, I'm successful" I say, knowing deep down English secondary schools are terrible! But some are alright, mine was an exception
"Where will I work?" She asks
"My father can set you up with a job" I say "I can offer you a place to stay until you get on your feet" I say "plus free babysitting services" I say gesturing to myself and she laughs
"I have plenty experience" I say with a smile "so what do you say? We can leave today, get Aryll enrolled into a school, you can apply for jobs" I say and she smiles at me
"I pre booked your tickets even if you didn't want to move I thought I may as well, we leave tomorrow at 5 in the morning, is that alright?" I ask but she doesn't respond she just embraces me
"Thank you Zelda! So so much" she says and I smile, I'm glad I made a difference
Fado runs into the kitchen and tells Aryll the news so I check my phone *have you landed? Be safe, I love you x* Link texted
*she said yes! I'll see you tomorrow mon amour x* I text back
"Aryll your not going into school I want you to go upstairs and pack" she says with a wide smile
"Okay!" Aryll says, she's so innocent especially for 11 when Riju was 12 she was anything but innocent
"It's going to be different in London" I tell her, I don't want her to have a massive shock "we drive on the 'wrong side of the road'" I say and she nods "we're going to need to change your dollars to pounds" I say and she nods "but we'll think about all that when we're over there" I say
Fado nods before pulling out a paper and pen and writing a note *Gaepora, I have had enough of your bullshit* she writes and my eyes widen in shock thats bold, she hasn't even left the country yet *I'm leaving, you can have the house and the car* she writes before taping the keys inside and folding the piece of paper
"I'm going to put it on the door when we leave" she says and I nod "I'm going to go pack"
I get my phone back out and phone Link "hey mon amour" I say when he answers
"Mon ange! I got your text, well done!" He says and I smile "I really miss you" he says
"I really miss you too! It was a lot easier than I thought, your mum really hates your dad" I whisper and he makes an affirmative noise
"Yeah" he whispers "I gotta go Urbosa is walking over to me and she does not look very happy" he says and I smile at him
"Okay, I love you" I say
"I love you too mon ange" he says before hanging up
