A/N: Hey this is my first fanfiction I've uploaded so I hope it doesn't suck. Anyways, I hope you enjoy it. Please review
"Look out!" Was the last thing I've heard from Navi; being that we just entered an empty room together. I looked around the empty room to be greeted by a lonesome, dead tree. With fog covering it I had to squint my eyes to notice it. I began walking towards the tree, it's the only other thing I can see so why not. I slowly walked over to the lonely tree being aware of what was around me. Once I got to the tree I slid down to sit by it. 'Nothing else is here. How am I supposed to leave…?' I sat there thinking to myself when all of a sudden a strange sense came to me. It was almost like, I was being watched. I turned my head to look to the side of me, nothing. I stood back up and looked down; the floor was covered in water. 'How could I have missed that?' Nothing but my reflection. I looked back up and saw a small wooden hut, with curiosity taking over me I walked towards it. There were no windows so I couldn't look in at all, I tried the door. Locked. I sighed with no other ideas coming to me. Once again that strange feeling of someone watching me came across me. I shuddered and looked around the room again. Empty. I must be going crazy, there is no one here. I walked back to the tree and sat by it once again. I looked into the water, nothing there either. '… Where's my reflection?' At this point I feel immensely insane considering there is no one here but me and Navi, and that my reflection is gone. I stood back up and began walking towards where I entered.
"Link! Look-"I turned around, nothing there. Navi was now missing. I quickly went back further in the room to search for my now missing fairy.
"Navi…? Navi, come here. This isn't a joke." Fear crept over me of possibly not being alone like how I thought. I ended up being back at the tree, I somehow end up here a lot.
"Poor, poor, Link. All alone. For what has happened to your precious fairy?" A devilious voice spook. I turned around quickly to where the voice has come from. No one there. I kept silent in hope the voice would speak again. "No reply? Aw, come now Link. Not replying to someone who is talking to you is truly rude." My eyes darted to the top of the tree. There it was a shadow of a human figure. I backed away from the tree keeping my eyes on the shadow.
"Who are you?!" I spat, trying to make my voice stern and serious. Whoever this is they don't seem very friendly. "What did you do to Navi?" I kept my stance, staring at the figure. It swiftly jumped from the tree to the ground. I backed a little in shock of how swift it has moved.
"Do I scare you? And by 'Navi' do you mean that annoying floating ball of light?" The shadow opened his hand; there in his palm was a squished fairy. It was Navi, her light fading quickly. "She was such a pest; and for you other question. I'm you. Well, that is part way true. I'm your evil self. Everyone has an evil side, Linky. Even the goddess' chosen hero. Heh, pathetic really, you the hero? I expected more from you; all you've accomplished was having your precious light dead, and now you are about to join her." I clutched my fists to my side; it's not possible this… this THING can't be me. No, I don't have any evil in me. I'm supposed to conquer evil, not have an evil side.
"You're lying! You aren't me. I'm not evil. And… and you're about to pay! For what you did to Navi…" I stuttered a bit while I was talking. It's not that he scares; it's just this vibe about him.
"There's a bit of evil in you… You're willing to kill me just for revenge? That's not how a hero should act." He quickly appeared right in front of me. I stumbled back in surprise by how fast he was moving. I heard him chuckle in my reaction. I clenched my teeth together trying to fight back the erg to lunge at him. "Now, now. I'll make sure your death is quick and painless… If you're willing to cooperate. But if you aren't… You're death will surely be slow and painful, the last thing you'll hear is your screams of agony, you're last thought will be how you've failed everyone. Even your precious princess."
"SHUT UP! I'm not the one who'll be dead!" I lunged at him thrusting my sword forwards in hope that'll get him. My eyes are squeezed shut, and when they are open again the shadow is simply laughing. "Why are you laughing? You're just a shadow-"I was cut off by him holding me against the tree with his sword held to my neck.
"I'm not JUST a shadow. I'm barely a shadow at all. I'm you; well I'm much stronger. I guess an appropriate name would be Dark Link, considering these circumstances. Oh and just a warning; if you EVER call me 'shadow' one more time I will gladly kill are your friends in front of you, then I will slowly AND painfully kill you. I'll make it last long enough so you have the guilt of failing everyone." I winced back as I felt his sword getting pressed against my neck harder. At this rate I will be a failure… If I don't do anything then everyone is going to die because I failed, the chosen hero of the goddess failed EVERYONE. No, no I can't let him get to me. I WON'T let him get to me. I shoved "Dark" off of me and moved away from the tree holding my stance.
"You won't win! I will defeat you. I am not going to fail to some sha-"I stopped myself before I could refer to him as a shadow. What if he wasn't joking…? Could he actually be THAT evil? I shake my head slightly trying to re-focus on what was now going on. When I looked back at where Dark was earlier he was gone. I straightened out my stance and looked around, he was nowhere. He must have just been an imagination, after all I haven't slept in Goddess knows how long. I began walking around the empty room once again; the door is still locked. I sighed as I looked at the lock… Maybe Navi- That's right, Navi… So he is real. Navi is gone… Navi's gone… She died, because of my failure to keep her safe. "Coward! Stop hiding and face me! "I was basically begging him to fight me. He killed Navi, of course I have to face him… for her.
"So it hit you then?" His voice… Where is he…? "You just realized that the floating light is dead… Hmph. Not very observant are we? And now you can't even find me. Poor, hopeless hero~" I looked around me again, no one. Where the hell could he be? He can't hide behind anything, there's nothing in this room… There's only water and that tree… The tree! He's probably back in the tree. I ran to the tree looking up in the branches. Nothing. Where else would he be? "I'm most definitely not in that disgusting tree, again. But… where else could I be? Running out of ideas hero? Pathetic." By this time I was frustrated. How can he sound so close to me yet not being anywhere around me… Think, Link, think… I looked down at the water where my reflection stared back at me. Except… That can't be me; I don't have blood red eyes- "Heh. Someone is using their head." I quickly jumped back at the sound of his voice. Focusing on his voice I see his figure appear in the corner of my eye. How does he keep doing that?
"Stop hiding and fight me!" With those words he lunged at me. I could see the lust for blood in his eyes as he did so. Blocking his attack with my sword I let out a low grunt. Why is he so strong? I pushed him off regaining my stance. If I was going to defeat him I'm going to have to be smart. He said he's me right? So it shouldn't be THAT hard… right?
"Hmm. You think you can beat me can't you? We'll see… I hope you are sort of good, I always like a challenge." I glared at him in anger. Who does he think he is? He is me, well a copy of me at least. I snapped back to reality when I heard him chuckle. Why is he laughing? "I can tell what you are thinking… You think you can beat me. Just because I'm a form of you doesn't mean I'm as weak as you." After that he attacked once more. I jumped to the side attempting to dodge but I get struck on the side. I grunt at the small cut on my side. He's too fast. Holding my side I lift my head and look at him; meeting his eyes he smirks. He jumped towards me, I tried to move but before I knew it he was pinning me to the floor. I could see him smirking. No. I can't lose already. "Darn. You aren't a challenge. I was hoping I could have some fun too. Oh well, I guess I will have fun taking your life." He dragged his sword across my chest cutting through the fabric of my tunic and into my skin. I flinch at the sudden contact. Wincing in pain I squeeze my eyes shut. I could hear him chuckling at my reaction, as I was about to snap at him I began to drift off… Last thing I heard was his voice. "Maybe next time, hero."
