(Y/n)'s POV

I learned the young mans name is Micheal and that we were in eastern Hebra. Micheal told me a bit about himself as I helped him pack. I learned he lost his mother early in his life, around the time the picture was taken and that his dad was his rock. He was both father and mother for him and all he wants is to repay him for what he's done. So he spends the weekends here in a cabin to hunt animals for pelt then sells them before heading back home with his dad. His father has severe kidney issues and the medicine for it is expensive so almost all the money he makes on pelts go to his fathers treatment. It breaks my heart.

"Micheal I promise you, your father will get help. Trust me."

"I appreciate it (Y/n)." He smiles. I smile in return. "So what about you? How'd this whole mess happen?" I laugh.

"Honestly I have no idea. These weird demon things came out of the forest Link and I were at for our honeymoon and terrorized us. When we left they got us and one thing leads to another. I'm drowning in a glass cage, I pass out and wake up cold near the labyrinth back some way."

"Damn, all that stress can't be good for your baby." He says and I laugh.

"I'm not pregnant." I say, "I can't have kids." He looks at me confused.

"You have the radiance of a pregnant woman." He says.

"Its called 'almost dying and thriving now." I say. He shrugs.

"Either way, I'll be careful on our ride." He mounts his horse and helps me on. As we get going to the castle I can't stop thinking of what Micheal said. I can't be pregnant. I've miscarried all my pregnancies. I tell myself. Even if I am I'll sadly lose it later on. I sigh. "I'll get you home, don't worry." He says. I smile.

"Thanks." I hope Link finds out whoever is at the castle isn't me.

Links POV

With the days passing I notice stranger things about (Y/n). Her mannerisms have changed and I'm not the only one who's noticed. She's almost... feral. She's insensitive and rude to the guards. She's always been overly kind and grateful to them. Actually in general she's insensitive and rude to pretty much everyone that isn't me, Zelda, or Milo. She's even less affectionate. But no one has brought it up so I feel silly bringing it up.

As I walk down the hall to my office I brush the thought away. I opened my office door and sat down to get started on my paperwork. I got a few minutes in with no visit from (Y/n). I feel she's mad for what happened, like she blames me for what happened and I can't blame her if she does. I couldn't protect her.

"Link?" I look up to see Zelda.

"Hm?" I respond still deep in thought.

"I feel stupid bringing this up, and correct me if I'm wrong but um...." she pauses nervously deciding if she should go through with what she's saying. "(Y/n) is.... different.... right?" She asks.

"You noticed too?" I look up at her.

"It's hard not to. The dogs don't like her, guards don't like her and even Milo is scared to be around her." I sigh.

"I know this sounds stupid but... I don't think it's (Y/n)." I whisper. Zeldas eyes widen and she swiftly moves across the room and kneels in front of me.

"What are you saying??" She whispers back.

"I don't think that's my wife!" I respond keeping the conversation at a whisper. "Those things in the forest were some kind of shapeshifter and I think one took the form of (Y/n)." Zeldas eyes remain wide.

"I thought she was just having trouble adjusting since she almost died." I shake my head.

"At first that's what I thought it was, but I know (Y/n). She would be gloomy at first but then she's realize something about life. And she still hasn't remembered very, very simple things."

"We can't prove it."

"I can. I know that's not (Y/n). My stomach churns when I see her do these things."

"W- if that's not her then where in Hyrule is she??"

"I don't know, but knowing her she's most likely on her way back to the castle. She's smart."

"What should I do?"

"Get guards in the large villages and stables. She might've picked up a horse or hitched a ride from someone." She nodded. "And get guards in my bathroom and the surrounding rooms, I'm gonna confront whatever that thing is tonight."

(Y/n)'s POV

Night was beginning to fall as we passed by Rito village. We decided to keep going through the night to make the trip shorter. I wanted to get back as fast as possible to see Link again and also help Micheal and his father.

"So, how exactly did you become wife of Zeldas appointed night?" I chuckle.

"It's a long story."

"We have time." He replies. I smile thinking back to how we met.

"I was fleeing my abusive father from Akkala. When I came across trouble and who else do I come across to save me other than-"

"Link." He finishes. I laugh.

"Yup. And really ever since then we've spent almost all our time together. About a year later he proposed and a year later we wed. In that time I was kidnapped by the yiga clan, the same clan that killed my mother and probably killed my brother as well, had some beef with an old neighbor, got two dogs, almost died a few times, a few which have been caused by guardians, found out I can't have kids as well but I wouldn't change any of it. All the adventures, the pain and hurt, but also the absolute ecstasy I've felt. All apart from the only good parts of my family getting kidnapped I wouldn't change any of it. It's made me who I am."

"That sounds like the most eventful what? 2, 3 years?"

"About to be 3." I say.

"That's.... something." I laugh again.

"It's not for everyone."

"Definitely not." He scoffs.

We continue to chat throughout the ride, learning about each other and having some good laughs about our strangest moments in life.

Links POV

Zelda had already sent guards on a search for (Y/n). I'm hoping they find her soon, I want her here, with me. Zelda told me the faker is in my room along with some guards in the bathroom and outside my room. I sigh and walk in to see whatever that is on my bed.

"Hey baby! I missed you today." It pouts.

"Where is (Y/n)?" I immediately ask.

"What?" She frowns, confused.

"Where is (Y/n)??"

"I'm right here! Link what are you talking about?"

"You aren't (Y/n), what did you do to her??" I growl.

"Link you're scaring me." If I wasn't so convinced whatever was in front of my wasn't (Y/n) I'd feel like the worst Hylian on the planet.

"When we first met, and were on Hateno beach. What was the promise we made to each other?" I asked.

"What?" It tearfully asks.

"What was the promise we made to each other at Hateno beach??"

"Link-"

"If you were (Y/n) you'd know."

"Link you heard what the doctor said! I've lost some memories."

"What's our code word then??" It stares at me. "You can't have forgotten everything." I growl. "Or better yet which one of my horses did I let you borrow??"

"Link I can't think!" It shouts at me.

"Where is (Y/n)!!" I yell. "What did you do to my wife??" I tower over the creature. It stares at me for a second before scattering towards the door where it's immediately stopped by the guards outside. The guards take hold and the creature starts hissing and struggling to get out of their grasps. Slowly it starts shifting from (Y/n) to the sunken eyed demon. The guards shackled it as Zelda watched from down the hall.

"Eugh!! What is that thing??"

"Those are the things that came after us. I don't know why they'd send one to the castle."

"It is odd." Zelda approached the struggling beast. "How did we not notice you weren't her?" She whispers to herself. "But don't worry Link. She'll be back in no time." Zelda smiles at me. "Try and rest tonight ok? (Y/n) is fine out there." I nod.

"I know." That doesn't mean I'll sleep any better tonight. Not until she's back in my presence.
