Chapter 1: Numb
Sheik lay on the ground in his house staring at the ceiling, shaking violently, feeling the blood run down his arm and hand. He gripped four bloody senbons tightly in his hand, readying another attack on his wrist. He started sobbing at the thought of his love, Link, and how he thought he would never love him like he loved Link. Another surge of anger swept over him and he raised the senbons in the air and plunged them into his unbandaged left wrist, slicing downward, letting the blood gush freely. He closed his eyes and slowly cried himself to sleep.
Sheik's POV
I'm in a weird place…where am I exactly? I hear footsteps…. Who's there? I hear a voice… its calling my name. Am I dreaming? I-I can't open my eyes.
Impa stood over her nephew, saying his name, trying to wake him up. She knelt beside him and caught a glimpse of his blood stained wrist, and sighed. "He's at it again… Oh Sheik…" she muttered under her breath. She took Sheik by the shoulders and started to shake him.
Sheiks POV
Who's there? I feel…someone shaking me. Who is it?
Sheik awoke to the sight of his aunt, Impa, staring at him. "Impa? Why are you here?" He asked. She replied "The princess has called for you at the castle". He managed to say "ok", and at that, Impa stood up, nodded at Sheik, and exited his house. Sheik sat staring at the wall for a while wondering what the princess needed him for. He picked his wrist bandage up off the floor and wrapped it back around his wrist. He flinched at the tight feel of the bandage around his wounds. He then stood up and gripped the door handle, glancing back and surveying the room for anything he might have forgotten. Satisfied that he hadn't forgotten anything he opened the door and walked out of his house in the center of Kakariko Village.
