The day ended with Link and I heading up to Lon Lon ranch.I've always loved ranches.I liked to feed the goats when I was little.I was riding on the back of Epona with Link in front.When we made it to the ranch, I followed Linlk to a corral with thousands of horses galloping around.Epona whent off to the other horses and Link walked over to a girl brushing another horses hair.From the look of her expression, she seemed abit depressed.She looked up when we walked up and smiled at Link.She stood up and dusted the dirt off her pink skirt."Hey, Link.Comin' to give Epona some excercise?"I heard some loud mumbling and turned to see a middle-aged man walking to the barn."What's Ingo's problem today?"Link asked the fiery haired girl."Dad and him were argueing and, well Dad won, like always."She turned to the brown horse beside her and sighed."They were argueing about this horse, acually.You see, Dad found someone hurting her and saved her a few days ago.But we don't have enough room in the stables."She sighed and started brushing the horse again.

"Wait, I've got an idea."Link blurted out."Hailey can use her.That way, she doesn't have to ride on Epona with me."The girl's face lit up.

"Would you do that?"She smiled.

"S-sure.I guess."

"Oh, Malon, this is Hailey.She came with me when I was looking for Jordon."

"Oh, hello, I'm Malon.My Dad's the owner of this ranch."Malon held out her hand.I smiled and shook it."This is Albana."

"Well, we'd better get going."

"Link, you know that the field is dangorous at night.Why don't you rest here and leave in the morning.We always have room for guests."

"Resting sounds good about now."I yawned as I looked up at the orange sky.

"Oh, fine.Why not?"Link agreed, finaly.Malon smiled and led us to an empty room with twi beds and a dresser.I whent over to the bed farthest to the left and plopped down.I never relised how tired I was untill now.Link sat his sword and shield down on the floor and sat on the other bed.He pulled his boots off and set them with his sword.I kicked my boots off and sighed."How do you know so much people?Especially the princess?"I suddenly asked out of no where.

"Well, I saved this place from Ganondorf."He replied simply.I shiverd when he said that name again.

"Who's...Ganondorf?"

"He was the gerudo king, the king of evil, bearer of the triforce power-"

"Okey, I get it.He was bad."

"That's a terrible understatment.He was the meanest, dumbest, most worse basterd in all of Hyrule back then."

"How long ago was it?"

"Well, let's see, I started my whole journey when I was ten.Though of corse, I thought I was going to stay ten untill I pulled the mastersword and slept for seven years.After I sent Ganon to the sacred realm, Zelda sent me back to my normal time.When I was ten.And now I'm Nine teen, for real."

"That's confusing."

"I know."

"Wait, you said you were sent to your real time.What does that mean?"

"Well, Zelda sent me back to when I started my journey, except I didn't have to do the journey again."

"But, wouldn't that like erase everyone's memory?"

"It did.No one I knew after that remembered anything, except the sages, Zelda, and Ganondorf.i went out to find my fairy and found myself in Termina.I had to save it from Majora's mask and when I whent home, I found my fairy in my treehouse."

"You said that you thought you were going to stay ten."

"I thought I was a kokiri.Kokiri are children who live in the forest and never age past ten."

"So you lived in the forest?"

"Yes.But, I wasn't kokiri.I was born in Kakiriko with my mom, dad, and younger sister.Me and my sister were born during a war against all races of Hyrule, except the kokiri.The gerudos attacked Kakiriko and my father whent to help fend them off, but died.My sister died by the Gerudos.My mother excaped to the forest but was attacked by gerudos.She died after she handed me to the kokiri."

"Oh."Was all I said.

"I know."I laid back and thought about what Link must've felt.

"Well, I guess your known for being a hero, I'm known for being a dumbass.Everyone I know calls me stupid, and it's true.I am stupid.I have been my whole life.I bet if you asked my mom she would say"Hell yeah.She the only stupid one I got.".I bet if you asked anyone I knew, they'd say the same thing."

"Really?You don't seem stupid to me>"

"Thanks."I looked up at the cieling and thought about my family.My Dad was never home, and when he was, he acted like I wasn't even there.My mom was always ashamed of me.She never talked about, or to me.And when she did, she was always complaining about how lazy or selfish I am.I did anything I coud to make her proud of me, but I just gave up when I turned sixteen.I'm seventeen now.

"Are you okey, Hailey?"Link asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"Thinkin' about home?"I sat up.

"Yeah, how horrible it was."

"Come on, it can't be that bad."

"But it is.I woke up every day hoping and trying to get my parents to acually care for me.My parents never care.All they care about is their precious little boys.I tried everything I could to impress them but nothing worked.Nothing worked."Tears were streaming down my face as my vision became a blurry mess.Link sat down next to me and I put my head on his sholder.He rapped his arm around me as I cried like the idiot I was.

"I'm sorry.I shouldn't have said that."Link whisperd.I relised how Hyrule and home were different, then.At home, I was treated like shit, but here, everyone was nice and friendly.I didn't want to leave, but I knew that I would have to some day.
