(Hello! This is my first ever fan fiction so it might be kind of bad. I do hope to improve more and update this story if people actually read it. Writing isn't much of my thing but I'll still be trying to figure things out along the way. I'll be changing the front picture in a while it won't be staying this way forever I'll draw a cover especially for this fan fiction)
Drops of water dripped down from the males dirty blond hair seeming to fade out of existence when merged with the tender water of the hot spring. Pleasure filled the blond's bare unclothed body causing him to sigh in relief. He hated to admit he was enjoying himself even though he was forced by Zelda's order to take a break from hero duties.
Tch.
He knew the princess hated him but not this much. Link lowered his head under the water halfway allowing for him to still see. The sound of the wind passing through the surrounding pine trees of the Hebra region along with the surrounding beauty of night stars eased him of his now rising anger. He closed his eyes for a while but shot them wide open once he heard movement in the trees. Fear struck him as he saw red crimson eyes along the trees pierce right through him. Abashed at his vulnerability a light blush spread through his tan skin. The red eyes glowed in the dark night and had seemed to shrink in surprise until they blended with the shadows. Link, still embarrassed and frightened, shook his head in disbelief he thought he was in a secluded area where no one would find him! The blond swiftly snatched his towel along the edge of the hot spring and wrapped it along his waist covering his nude self. Along with the towel he grabbed his clothes also including sheikah slate and found a place away from the hot spring to put them on fearing the person or "thing" in the trees would see him. Not even bothering to dry his hair he got the sheikah slate and summoned the master cycle quickly riding off to the Rito village stable, while riding, he pondered what could've been stalking him. Link remembered the mesmerizing crimson blood-red eyes which resulted in sending him chills along his spine. Once Link arrived at the stable he got off his bike and waited until it disappeared. It always fascinated him how sheikah technology worked. Zelda always spoke about it, but he never listened to her constant rambling, so he was a bit clueless about the topic. He then spoke to the manager and asked for a soft bed costing him 40 rupees. Link then went to bed and slowly drifted to sleep hoping to find who ever was stalking him the following day.
Links POV.
I opened my eyes to a room that was pitch black. In front of me laid the same horrifying red eyes. I felt sick. What seemed to feel as rock was lodged in my throat. I wasn't able to speak. Neither was I able to move my body. My nerves were starting to increase as I panicked. I closed my eyes hoping I would soon wake up from my awful nightmare. As I closed my eyes cold smooth hands reached over me and cupped my face. I felt someone's presence in front of me as its hot breath tickled my neck, " Wake up" those were the only words I managed to hear from the red eyed creature standing before I soon woke up.
"Hey! Wake up It's already morning!" I didn't quite recognize the voice but it sounded a bit feminine and the carrier seemed to have a small accent. I opened my eyes only to be blinded by the now awakened bright sun. "Ugh..." I said still a bit groggy from barely waking up. "Good, you seem to have woken up!" replied the unknown voice followed by fading footsteps along the hard wood. I got up and rubbed my eyes letting out a long yawn. I arched my back earning some pleasurable cracks and quietly breathe out. Turning over to my bed I began putting on my near worn out brown boots humming a small tune. Not sure where I learned it from but it I felt safe when I hummed it, once I finished packing my stuff I waved goodbye to the manager he replied with a warm soothing smile. I recalled the events of the night before and sought to uncover the owner of the red eyes. I've completely disobeyed Zelda's order and went out on a small quest. Guilt struck me but the feeling soon banished as I felt the cold wind up against my body. Glancing my surroundings I spotted a small cooking pot and began cooking some food due to my lack of supplies. My face turned red as I recalled the night before, the fact that I was nude in the spring and someone saw me. The tips of my point ear began burning at the thought. My ears perked up as I heard girly giggling. What now? I looked over my shoulder to see a group of girls surrounding what seemed to be a man. "Heh, poor guy", I muttered to myself as I let out a small chuckle and smirked. I soon finished cooking and bent forward to get my food, as I did I felt my behind grind up against someone. I got quickly stood up almost dropping my food and turned around to see the person. They had dark tan skin, white as snow hair, and wore dark clothing. Distracted by their beautiful white hair I didn't notice straight away that they had red eyes.
"Hey, are you ok? You look like you've seen a ghost" he chuckled.
"Sorry, how rude of me I haven't yet introduced myself. My names Dark I thoroughly apologize for startling you." He continued. A smirk slowly engraved on the edge of his taunting lips. I wasn't able to speak my throat was clogged. The only words I managed to speak out were
"L-Link".
The man smiled and took my hand kissing it.
"Nice to meet you, Link"
His deep raspy yet soothing voice sent a tingling sensation in my stomach. A deep red crimson blush loomed over my face. I pulled my hand back and turned my now red face away from Dark. I felt Dark's cold fingers pull my chin to face him.
"Hmm, are you sure you're ok you look like you have a fever" the dark tanned man sounded concerned.
"Um yeah I'm fine, now if you'll excuse me I need to leave"
It pained me to say so but I barely just met him. I began walking away until I felt his hand grab my wrist and pulled me into his embrace.
"I hope we meet again", whispered Dark into my ear his warm breath making me shiver. He let go and walked away. My heart was beating rapidly. Feeling as though it about to burst at any moment I breathe in and out attempting to calm myself. I managed to composed myself and headed towards the mountains. I was currently wearing the snowquill set in order to keep warm. Due to me running out of ancient material to power the cycle I was forced to walk. A sigh of disappointment escaped my lips as I recalled wasting it to get the ancient armor. My body felt as if was going to collapse any second by now. I've been walking for ages and my face felt numb from the cold. I stopped to fight a lynel but oh boy was that a mistake! All the food I cooked earlier was gone, and I was beginning to starve. My wounds from the lynel ached due to the cold. The snowquill armor was torn from the fight. Through the shredded clothing squeezed the cold agonizing cold. I had completely forgotten about my quest and just traveled the mountains. I would've made a fire, but I was missing the most important item.
" Flint."
"I had everything but that!" I grumbled under my breath. I stopped and grabbed my sheikah slate quickly checking the map. North of my direction were just mountains covered in white fluffy snow, as I looked closer at the screen I managed to see a bright cyan blue circle. It's a hot spring! I thought to myself. Recalling the time Zelda introduced me to a rumor in Hyrule regarding a healing spring I began walking towards my new destination! Walking turned to speed walking and then into a full run. My body was sore and ached but the adrenaline vaporized it into small bits and pieces. I soon began losing energy and started coughing uncontrollably. I soon stopped to catch my breath and began walking the rest of way which wasn't much. A gasp escaped from me at the sight before me. It was beautiful! The water was bright cyan blue and clear. It was bubbling from the immense heat and was surrounded by a vast amount of steam. Distracted by the spring's beauty I didn't notice the pale figure in the middle. The figures back was facing me and I could see its breathtaking features. The figure lifted its arms to stretch in doing, so I let out a small gasp of surprise of its strong arms. They seemed it didn't hear me, which was good... I didn't want to get caught watching someone. By now I was hiding by a nearby rock eyeing the figure. The figure looked a bit familiar... I had completely forgotten about my wounds and as soon as I remembered they began hurting. I turned away from figure and winced at the sudden pain from my movement. The most painful wound was located below my chest. Man did that lynel cut me good... I was quite lucky to survive as the winner. I chuckled at my stupidity all of this for those mysterious red eyes. Heh. Zelda was surely going to scold him for this. I wouldn't blame her to be completely honest. I wonder what she's doing right now. Probably reading. What a bookworm! I smiled at the thought of her reading the leftover books in the castle's library. I hope she's ok... Although I'm still a bit mad at Zelda for forcing me to take a break I'm still worried about her. The castle's still a dangerous place after all. Although Calamity Gannon was sealed away a bit of darkness still hovers above Hyrule and its castle. I grabbed my wound tightly grimacing at the unbearable pain it caused. I then proceeded to tear away the cloth divided the cold wind and my body. Fuck. It was worse than I anticipated. It was a long red gash blood still flowing out of it. Oh, dear Farore please help me. I breathed in and gingerly cleaned the remaining blood from my wound using the torn off piece of cloth. I let out a big breath and threw the blood covered cloth away. Carefully I stood up and wrapped an arm around the wound tightening my grip when as it pained. My eyes began to close as I leaned against the rock I was hiding at.
My head hurts...
I heard a splash of water from behind me.
Eh? I turned around to see the figure rise from under the water. Their face suddenly turned to look at me straight in the eyes. The same red eyes I saw the night before... The figure still seemed familiar I recalled where I might have remembered them from and noticed they looked identical to Dark. So the creature stalking me in the night was him!? No wonder he approached me! How didn't I notice!? Maybe because I was mooning over him? I slapped my cheeks causing my dirty thoughts to go away. Dark then stared at me with a confused and worried look. He might have not recognized me because of my bruised and bloody face. Pain struck me in the side of my temples and I felt my vision become hazy and distorted. Ugh, what's happening to me? I managed to hear Dark get out of the water his wet footsteps echoing through the mountains. My body seemed to give up as I felt the ground get closer and closer... Last thing I heard was someone screaming my name...
"Link!"
