The Attic (Ghirahim x reader🍋)

chapter 6

Link's pov

We arrived in skyloft and I quickly hopped off my loftwing.

"Help! Anybody! I need a medic!"I shouted at the top of my lungs, hastily walking around.

An old lady popped her head out of her house and glanced down at the girl, y/n , I was carrying.

She ushered for me to go over to her and I entered her house.

I put y/n down on the bed and the woman immediately checked her pulse and whether or not she was breathing.

"She's fine, it seems she hasn't been eating much lately, has she been stressed as of late?

I looked down, shamefully and nodded.

The old woman asked me alot of other questions about her medical history and behaviour but most questions I couldn't answer.

"You're very strong to be able to bring her here, both emotionally physically. You must care alot about this girl." She winked and walked out the room.

"I'll make us some dinner, shall I?"

What--oh my Hylia.

The old woman came back with a warm, fresh meal and we sat around the table.

I was about to leave for the night, with y/n when the old lady handed me a pendant and a red potion.

"Give this pendant to the girl when she awakes, I think she'll find it quite useful." Said the old lady before she smiled and went back inside her house.

I got back home several minutes later and decided I should probably tell Groose and Zelda where I had gone and that I was back now.

But I didn't want to leave y/n alone. Something about her peaceful resting face wanted me to stay just in case something happened.

So I sent my loftwing.

-------------------------------------------->

Dear Zelda/ Groose,
I'm sorry I abruptly left last week, you know what happened with Ghirahim and y/n so I felt that I had to rescue her. I am home now, safe along with y/n. Please come visit me asap I owe you some answers.

-Link

------------------------------------------->

Short, snappy and to the point. Should do the trick.

Both Zelda and Groose arrived at my house only ten minutes after I sent the message, despite the current time.

"You! Link we were worried sick! You could've gotten yourself killed. But more importantly were is y/n??" Zelda burst open the door and screamed at me.

I pointed to the bedroom. Groose and Zelda both rushed in, only to see a battered y/n.

"What happened?" Zelda asked in a pitiful tone.

"I haven't got the chance to talk to her yet so all I know is that she was locked up underground." I said making my way over to the bed, sweeping some hair away from y/n's face.

"Poor girl." I mumbled.

Zelda turned her face away, presumably crying.

"T-that's such a ho-orrible thing to do-o she's so young aswe-ll." Zelda was genuinely crying now.

Zelda was always sensitive, especially to other people's pain and suffering.

Zelda, Groose and I all group hugged, Zelda still pouring her heart out.

We left the room and I made everyone some tea to calm us down, we sat there almost in utter silence for a few hours before they left and I went to bed.

Time skip- middle of night:

I awoke to the sound of a scream.

Y/n.

I ran out of bed and into the room she was staying in.

"Y/n Are you okay!? What happened??" I said, preparing for battle.

I looked down to see y/n's skinny frame sprawled out across the floor and a panicked look on her face.

"I-I he-e was- he ju-st." Y/n stammered.

I quickly rushed to her side.

"It's okay y/n just breathe, in and out, in and out."

Boy was she a mess, she had greasy and matted hair, barely any meat on her bones, a pale complexion, and huge eye bags under her e/c eyes.

Y/n started crying again.

"I saw him, in my dream," she sobbed, "it was so realistic I thought-"

I pulled her into an embrace and patted her back.

"Shhhh, it's okay now y/n, he's not here anymore."

We stayed like this for a few minutes more before I suddenly felt her crying stop.

"Y/n?"

She was asleep.

She must still be exhausted. I hope she can stay awake long enough for me to feed and bathe her next time. She's looking really skinny...

Yet another time skip- morning:

I woke up and instantly went to check on y/n.

Still asleep.

Okay I need to go and ask Zelda to come over to help her get dressed and bathe. She could barely stand yesterday- although that could have just been exhaustion. I don't know, I'll have her here just in case, also she's a naturally caring person so she might be able to help me with the normal stuff like cooking etc.

"I need to remember to give her the red potion today when she wakes up," I glanced over to y/n's sleeping body, "or~"

Smirking, I made a funnel out of paper and positioned it between her now pink lips.

"Down it goes~" I said , mentally fist bumping myself.

Sure enough I started to see her skin turn a healthier hue, and her eye bags disappear. Unfortunately it didn't make her gain any more weight.

Okay when she wakes up I'll make her a hearty meal. But first let's call Zelda over.
