Vio-Shadow

Zelda-Green

Red-Blue

I never said anything. Not a word, so why do they? Not a single word since his red eyes faded out and he dissipated into nothing. The others thought it wouldn't last, but of course it was my own free will I'd stopped speaking.

I said nothing…

Green had made us all camp out that night, so it was bound to happen. Either Blue or Green would start a fight and one of them would explode, walk off and appear an hour later with Red. Unfortunately, Blue had chosen me instead of Green to pick on.

"Come on Vio!" he slugged my shoulder, supposedly playfully. He scowled at my lack of response, I turned back to my book with the blank expression I've had around them all for months. "You're so sissy you can't even talk back to me now? Come on! What happened to teasing every damn comment? Is your brain even working in there?" he shouted and knocked on my head, I hardly noticed the desperate tone in his voice about the teasing. I spared him a small glance before hiding in my 'shell' behind the book I'd read over 50 times. It was one Shadow had given me.

"Aw leave 'im alone Blue!" Green shouted from the edge of the forest where he came from, pile of wood in his hands. "I've tried that approach, it doesn't work." He plopped the wood in a pile next to his tent. Silently thanking him in my mind, I turned to face him just the slightest twitch in my expression. Green noticed and sat next to me, shooing Blue away. I couldn't stand to look Green in the eyes since Zelda, his long-term girlfriend, had tried to seduce me. I didn't have the heart to say anything. Green had been the only of them I talked to after his death. Then I stopped. "Vio, I don't get it." He shook his head, "You used at least talk to me, now you won't even look at me fully." I resisted turning to face him, and spilling all about his girlfriend slut. But…

I said nothing…

Red had changed as well; it was as if he and Blue were slowly switching personality roles. Blue hardly yelled anymore, just before talking to me he had sounded desperate. Red was now very selfish clinging to Blue no matter what where or when. He also became very single minded and condescending. My thoughts had trailed to other like it. My head snapped up as a familar name was suddenly said in the conversation I was only half hearing.

"Stupid Shadow guy." It had been Red who said the words, and noticed my sudden interest in the conversation. He snickered quietly and went on to a new topic.

I said nothing…

"Right Vio?" Red had sneered at me; I perked up at my name. I tilted my head to show a question. Red rolled his eyes "I said, you won't talk because that dumbass Shadow ruining everything." I couldn't help the hint of threat and anger that flashed on my face. They all were momentarily stunned I had shown any emotion at all. Fighting an angered flush, I tried to calm myself down, returning to my shielded expression. Red laughed again, "Hahaha, I knew you didn't really care. He was only a pitiful shadow being, didn't even deserve to be-"

"Shut up." Two small words, I hadn't even realized I'd actually spoken until I saw the other Link's shocked expressions. My shell evaporated, I actually felt something other than remorse and guilt. Red laughed

"Why should I? He was filth, nothing but a bug to-"

"SHUT UP!" this time shouting, I rose to my feet. "What the hell do you know?" I could myself overwhelm by the bottled up feelings "None of you know anything! You're turning into Blue!" I pointed at Red, "You're actually normal!" my finger went towards Blue "And you," I went to Green "You have a slutty girlfriend who's pregnant with her new guards' baby and doesn't know how to keep hands to herself!" Greens eyes flew open wide,

"w-what?" he managed to stutter out quietly.

"It's all of your faults that he died in the first place! If you hadn't interfered when you did I was close to making Shadow on our side! IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT HE DIED!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, not caring about the hot tears streaming down my face as I ran off into he deep woods around us in random directions. I don't care if I get lost, I don't care anymore. All I could see were that lovely fanged smile and bright red eyes glowing with love for only me. Almost subconsciously whispering his name over and over to console my ever torn heart. "Shadow, Shadow, Shadow, Shadow, Shadow, Shadow…"

"…Vio…" I felt like I was hallucinating, hearing his voice like that I felt my knees hit the ground as I collapsed into cold nothingness, the light fading from my eyes and all I could see was his smiling face. I woke with a sudden start, a cold hand placed over my forehead. The pale old hand, with demon like claws. Moving away to reveal red eyes, purple hair and worried face. "Vio, how in Hyrule did you get to the dark world?" his voice was calming, though I still felt tears running down my face. I smiled through the pain, "You can't get back to your world now, you're stuck here for eternity." I smiled again

"Shadow," I brought a hand to rest on his cheek

"They're looking for you Vio."

"I don't care; I've said what needs to be. They have no use of me anyways." I smiled bitterly. Shadow wiped away the still streaming tears

"It's giving up a lot"

"The only thing I gave up was my pain. You're the only thing I have Shadow…

The tears on the page blur out any more writing you could read though it seems to be the end of the story. You sigh as you close the book. You've had enough of snooping around in your old things, and quite frankly the story tears at your heart. You sigh again and decide to face the rest of the day off with the old leather pages of your favorite book. You remind yourself of the code you've given yourself since that day…

I said nothing…
