THE MONSTER WITHIN-CHAPTER 1
"Saria!" I called for her, and there she sat. She slowly stood up from her stump that was once a tree. She was so beautiful; green hair, green eyes, green everything. She started walking up to me. The second she realized who I was, she broke into a run.
"Link!" I started walking over to her while she was running. She stopped right in front of me and had an angry look painted on her face.
"You said you'd see me two days ago. Guess what? You're two days late." She looked really mad.
What am I supposed to say? That was only two days ago. Goddesses, she is so impatient!
"I know I'm late, I tried to get back as soon as I could. I keep forgetting that Epona has hydrophobia so I couldn't get here any faster by jumping the rivers. I'm so-…" I was cut off by her as she hugged me. Her face was buried in my chest only for a brief moment, but long enough to feel my heart beat, maybe even hers too? It was long lasted as she let go and had a big smile.
"I'm not mad, I was just upset that you didn't keep your promise." I swear, she just likes making me feel guilty.
"I know, I'm sorry…"
"It's ok Link, Mido kept me company." Mido? Why Mido? Why him of all people? She could've just played with her fairy or one of her female friends. Doesn't she know he likes her? She's doing this on purpose, just to see how I'd react.
"You should stop playing around. You know he likes you and yet you insist on leading him on, me on!" The face she made surprised me, it was a little bit of shock to her, and me; then, nothing. No remorse, no regret on what she did, what she has been doing. I'll show you something to make a face about.
"Lin-…" I grabbed her thin, little neck with my left hand. It felt so fragile, as breakable as glass. I don't care. I'm tired of her wanting to see me and saying she is my friend when she goes behind my back and chats up a storm with Mido, and the same goes for her with him! She's just using him, she's just using me. She's always been using me, right from the start! Maybe if she goes away she won't mess my life up any more than it already is…
"Quit fucking with me." Why am I thinking all this? This isn't me, but I feel so angry. 'Kill her.' A voice whispered in my head. I feel like I know that voice, but… 'What are you waiting for? Kill her now! It's easy, I'll even do it for you.' With my left hand gripping her even tighter, my right hand slowly grabbed hold on my sword and vertically pointed it at her neck. I can't control my body! What the hell? I don't want this anymore! I only wanted to hurt her, to show her how I felt, to scare her. 'Of course you want this. I want this, too. Just end her life so she will never hurt and one again.'
"But, she won't do it again."
"Mm…" Her chest was rapidly inhaling for all the air it could take. She's slowly dying, running out of air but there is plenty here. My hand is the only thing keeping her from breathing.
"Do it." Did I just say that? That wasn't me. It was the voice, this needs to stop. Get out of my head!
"I'll get out of your head, but I'll still stay in your body." With that, her head quickly rolled off her shoulders. I…her…Saria… Why? I didn't do it, I didn't! Saria!
"Saria, wake up! Saria! This isn't real, it isn't!" This has to be a dream, it feels so real though. Saria, I'm so sorry, it wasn't me.
"Link, the bitch deserved it. She was only using us."
"No, get out…" I can't believe what I did…no, he did it. Go away!
"I did this for you Lin-"
"Get out of my head! Get out of my body!" I hear myself saying this, this is "my" voice, mine, my own.
"NO! This is for your own good! Link, please!"
"GET OUT!" I close my eyes. When I say this, it's my voice and his at the same time. I don't want to be like this. I open my eyes and see a ceiling. My ceiling, huh? A dream?
"Link!" I glance over and see Ruto. Damn fish, why is she here?
"Navi let me come over, she said you were crying in your sleep. What were you dreaming about?"
"I don't remember." That's a lie, I do remember, she woke me up from it. I remember everything. It seemed so real. Was that really me? It didn't seem like it though. I never want to hurt Saria… Saria! I need to see her, if she's really ok!
"Ruto, where's Saria? Is she alright?" Hurry up and answer, don't give me that questioning look slut, I need to know if she's ok.
"She's with Mido talking to the Deku Tree. She's fine but I think she has a cold or something."
Whew, thank Goddesses, she's fine. I just had to know, just to make sure. Since still waking up, I couldn't tell if I was still in my dream or if it was reality.
"So, are you going to accept my proposal?"
"Which…oooh. That one…I'm not going to, not in this lifetime or the next." I don't want to marry her, she needs to find someone who can be her prince or whatever and get away from me. I don't feel like marrying a fish with slim even if she is mostly naked almost all of the time.
"Please Link! Just marry me! I have a sexy body and blue looks really good on you! You and my father like each other and get along anyways. I even gave you Zora's Sapphire! The Spiritual Stone of Water! Does that not mean anything to you? What I've given you?"
"No. I told you, I only needed it to open the Gate of Time, that's it! You would've remembered if you were paying attention." Just go fish, fuck! Leave me alone, go away, go away, leave, piss off…
"I'm leaving. You seem to be a little hot-headed today so I'll let you cool off. Come see me when you've calmed down."
"Just get out and don't come back." Thank Goddesses she's leaving! Halle-fucking-lujah.
"I love you Link!" She says that as she's walking out the door and I start to say something maybe a little too late for her to hear.
"Bite me." She left and I'm alone in my house. It's so boring here and I'm getting tired and feel another deep sleep approaching. I weakly fight the sleepiness and let my eyelids close. I wonder who that was in my dream. Have I met him before? I think I'm dreaming again because I feel someone's hand on my chest.
"Lin…" I faintly hear someone saying my name. Is it Saria? Is she back or is it just Navi again?
"Link…wake up." It sounds like a guy, Mido maybe? No, he's with Saria and she would've come along with him.
"Mmn…" I think I'm starting to wake up and open my eyes very slowly, like a child would. I think I'm dreaming again. When I do open my eyes, they're open about halfway and I see a collar bone and a little bit of chest showing. I feel something on my forehead, it's tingling, and it's warm.
"Whn dit oo wuh mn uhm?" That came out differently. Apparently, I can't talk very well, that's funny.
"What? I couldn't understand you." As he says this, I see him move a bit lower so I can see a bit of his chin, while also feeling a new tingling feeling on my cheek.
"Why did you wake me up?" That sounds better, now that I'm a little more awake. I'm still tired though, so I close my eyes. I do so and feel him slightly shift his weight. I think he's moving a bit lower again, probably to make a new tingling feeling somewhere else on my face. I don't even know this feeling, but I feel like I should know it. I feel his breath on the lower area of my face, I think he backed up. Maybe I can gather enough willpower and strength to open my eyes and keep them open.
"Open your eyes." I do so and it takes me only a few seconds to find his eyes. He slightly smiles as he looks at me.
"Your blue eyes, they're so…beautiful. Blissful." No, not him. I know who he is, I remember the voice. Please Goddesses, help me!
