Love's Eloquence (Modern|AU)

Chapter Six: The Second Letter

After a couple weeks of tutoring Link, Zelda believed he was improving quite a bit. Midna and Mipha decided that Zelda was working too hard, so the two decided to drag Zelda along to an amusement park.

Zelda, Midna, and Mipha had a lot of fun riding the rides, playing games, and eating greasy junk food. But at the end of the day they all were exhausted and ready to hit the hay.

Midna (who drove like a crazy taxi driver trying to chase stray pigeons off the road) dropped Zelda off at her house and said her goodbyes. Zelda thanked Mipha and Midna for the fun day and walked up the walkway to her front door.

"So how was it today? Did you have a good time?" Impa asked as Zelda flopped down at the kitchen table.

Zelda smiled sheepishly. "It was really fun, but no I'm ready to go to bed."

"Now tell me," Impa set down her broom and sat at the table. "You didn't get sick on any of the rides right, much less the junk food?"

"I have a stomach of iron," Zelda joked.

Impa smiled. "Well I'm glad you had a fun time. You deserve it."

"Has my dad come home yet?" Zelda inquired.

"Yeah," Impa nodded. "He went to bed just a few minutes ago. You should get to bed too."

Zelda got up from the table. "That I agree with. Good night, Impa. I'll see you in the morning."

You know that feeling when you get into bed and you're all comfy and cozy and you would not get up even if the world depended on it. That's how Zelda felt when she pulled the sheets of her comforter up to her chin. She was just about to doze off when there was a loud knocking noise at her window.

Now imagine you're comfy and cozy in your bed and you would not get out even if the world depended on it...but then some genius comes into your room and leaves the light on. In Zelda's case the light was a noise. A really annoying noise too.

Zelda thought that the knocking noise at her window could of been a tree outside being beat against her window because of the wind. Though, Zelda didn't remember it being windy outside that night.

That's when the knocking turned into screeching. Zelda sat striaght up in her bed with an expression of malice on her face. She jumped out of bed and marched to the window.

To her suprise a large hawk perched on the tree outside her window. It's orange eyes glowed in the moonlight and the light breeze bristled it's golden-brown feathers. Zelda had to admit it was a really handsome bird, despite being incredibly annoying and loud.

But something else caught Zelda's eye. In the clutch of its talons the hawk held an envelope. She opened her window and the hawk automatically flew to her window, making Zelda take a step back in alarm.

Zelda gently took the letter from the birds grasp, being careful to watch out of its sharp talons. Sure enough the letter was addressed to Zelda. After the hawk served it's purpose, it took flight out the window.

Not taking her eyes off the letter, Zelda closed the window and sat back down on her bed. Zelda tried to search for the name of the author, but to no avail. It was anonymous.

Zelda opened the envelope. Written in horrible hand writing was "Dear Zelda..."

It was the second love letter from the secret admirer.
