Super Short Prologue
"Link please-" Zelda began to say but Link had already pulled his sword from its sheath. The thin blade thrust towards me and I side-stepped, pulling out my own. It was three times bigger then his and almost twice the length. He looked shocked at the weapon for a moment but then quickly regained composure. He took another lunge towards me but I raised my sword to guard against the advance. Our swords clashed with a large clang. Link stumbled back slightly from the impact and I used the opportunity to swing horizontally, the blade catching his tunic and ripping the light fabric. The chain mail he wore underneath was revealed. I felt immediately uneasy because I had no kind of protection under my already torn shirt.
I rushed to his side preparing to attack but he shoved me back from him with a fist to my face. My jaw echoed pain and in my stunned stupor he used the hilt of his sword to hit me again in the chin. I cried out as I stumbled back. I had bitten my tongue and could taste the blood trickling down my throat. Link's own fluids rushed down the side of his face. His hair stuck to his cheek where the liquid flowed. Zelda called out to him but he didn't shift his gaze.
Blood spilled between my fingertips from the wear of the sword's edges. Somehow I managed to keep it steady, staring into the eye of my opponent. Link was breathing heavily but he didn't slow his movements. His face was riddled with cuts from my blade and his tunic was soaked with red from the blood of his head injury and other injuries. His blond hair wasn't the silky texture I was used too, matted to his face.
"Just kill him!" Ghirahim shouted in my head. I clutched my head in pain, as he kept screaming in my head.
"Let's end this already." Link sputtered.
I nodded hesitantly, regaining my focus and blocking out Ghirahim's yelling. I lunged forward swinging my sword in a large arc. His sword clashed with mine but the weight was too much for him to handle. He collapsed beneath me and I held the blade against his throat. Tears brimmed at his eyes and I could feel my own falling from my eyes.
There was more screaming in the distance, Zelda's. My hands trembled as I looked directly into his eyes. I hesitated too long and he pushed me back. I collapsed on to my back and my sword clattered to the side. The stone floor's edges dug into my back. I tried to push up against him but his legs held my thighs in place and his elbow pressed across my chest. My body was shaking from the adrenaline.
He pressed his blade against my throat like I had done to him just moments ago but I had the terrible feeling he wouldn't hesitate like I had done. He pressed more weight against me, making it hard to breathe. My tears blurred my vision, I could no longer see his face, only dancing shapes of bright colours. There was so much I wanted to say, I wanted to scream out, but if I tried to speak I think I'd have only choking on the blood pooling in my mouth.
AUTHORS NOTE: This is my first fanfiction so I hope you like it! I also will probably edit it sometimes and add chapters in between until I'm happy with it, sorry if it gets confusing. Also I am pretty much the worst at editing so any spelling or grammar mistakes I missed would be greatly appreciated! And contrary to the misleading and punny title, I apologize this is not a zelda x peatrice story, sorry. But that does sound interesting. . .
