A/N: The picture I have in use as the cover for my CaH saga (as well as for all of my Zelda stories) is from dA by an artist lychi and the picture's name is just simply Zelda.

This is of two Dark Links and one Link. The older brother is Swamp Dragon Princess' version of Dark Link while the second Dark Link and Link are my versions. These are AU stories. The ages are in the way that Dark is two years older than Link and Link is two years older than Darky.

These stories aren't part of my CaH Saga. Just to clarify that.

These stories, and each of the chapters, are part of my "100 uploads of the year 2017". Current count is 65 and going down.

Enjoy! =)

Three brothers

Forgive, Forget (part 2)

He drove those two hours to Termina's city hospital. That short conversation in phone with the doctor was going in circles around his head. He had just barely remembered to call Clarissa, his fiancée, to look after the two huskies. Not to mention about sending a swift text to both Kafei and Scarlet of Darky having been found. He didn't dare to worry them over the situation when he himself just barely could comprehend the phone call fully.

Link having driven off the road. Reason for it unknown. Neither of the brothers having had seatbelts on. Both of the brothers are out cold.

Dark had tried to gain information of the duos wellbeing but they had been brought just about fifteen mins earlier into the hospital so there wasn't much of info to be given yet. The oldest brother of Avalon family drove as fast as the limits allowed. Unfortunately, he took a different road to the hospital than what Link had been driven and hence he missed the crash site.

Dark thought through the moment his brother had left home. "There had to be an animal on the road. That's the only reason for him to drive off." He thought while frowning. "He had his seatbelt on. I'm certain of that. Hell, I wouldn't have allowed him to leave if he didn't have it on!" The ruby eyed male recalled but his worry only grew the closer he came to Termina. "Did he know Darky to be there? If he knew, why didn't he let me know? Darky wouldn't have lied, would he?" He wondered while trying to shake that idea off of his head.

Eventually Dark reached the city hospital of Termina. He parked his black Camaro to the first slot he found, locked the car and ran all the way into the hospital. He just barely skidded to a stop in front of the info desk. "I'm here for Link Noah Avalon and Darky Kevin Avalon. They are my brothers." It took a lot from him to keep his voice normal enough and not just shout it all out.

The woman was bit surprised but she nodded and turned to the computer. "Just a moment…" She told while going through the information. Just then there was heard a loud scream.

Dark almost jumped out of his skin at the sound but it simply was because he recognized the voice. "Link…" He whispered before already dashing towards the sound. "LINK!" The ruby eyed Hylian screamed in desperate hope of his brother answering.

"SECOND FLOOR, ROOM 35!" The receptionist shouted after the running male. She sighed sorrowfully and shook her head. This certainly wasn't the first time she screamed directions after family members and it surely wasn't going to be the last time either.

Dark barely realized to even just nod his thanks before he already was in the stairs. It was much faster way than to wait for the elevator. Besides, he was in perfect fit to go running stairs and search for the right room.

The closer Dark got to the room after getting to the right floor and correct hallway, the clearer the sound of struggling became. Yet, it stopped just a moment before he reached the door and pretty much slammed it open. "Link!" The oldest of Avalon brothers shouted and took a swift look on the room before his gaze fell into the right bed.

The doctor and two nurses raised their gazes into the newcomer the moment the door was opened quite harshly. Yet, they didn't have time to react before Dark was already by the bed. "Link! Link, wake up!" He almost shouted while being ready to shake his brother.

The ruby eyed male bit gasped when someone forced him away from the bed. He turned his piercing and cold glare into the doctor whom wasn't fazed at all at the given look. "What the hell you've done to him? And where's Darky? Where's my youngest brother?" Dark shouted out the questions while harshly freeing himself from the hold.

"Just calm down. I'll explain everything." The doctor started calmly and nodded towards a close by being empty bed. Dark contemplated for a short moment about just standing or even sitting down next to his brother but he eventually sat down to the shown place. The doctor took once a deep breath as he thought things through of how to tell about the situation.

"I am Doctor Ivan McKeen." He started while turning his gaze into Dark. "Besides a hit into the back of his head, your youngest brother is physically alright. Out of the tests, there shouldn't be anything out of ordinary in his mental health either. Unfortunately, he hasn't woken up yet." The doctor started before glancing at the golden haired patient.

"Your middle brother then again…" The man started and sighed bit heavily. "He seems to be in slight state of delirium which is why it would be recommended to keep him sedated for the time being." He told surprisingly calmly while turning his gaze back into Dark again. "Unfortunately your middle brother has suffered more damage into his body than your youngest brother. His left leg is broken, right shoulder has hairline cracks and it was dislocated when he arrived to here. He has also gained a hit into the back of his head which might have caused his state of delirium. There are also cuts caused by glass at the back of his body, mainly his back but also slightly in his arms and legs." Doctor McKeen explained while fully wishing he could've had some better news than what he was telling. "Because of the delirium, we thought it to be better not to let your youngest brother hear the screams and incoherent explanations." He told and nodded towards the door. "If you wish, we can go check on your youngest brother. Your middle brother won't be waking up anytime soon." The doctor continued and started to show the way when Dark simply nodded.

The oldest brother of Avalon didn't say a word as he followed the doctor. They walked to the stairs and returned to the first floor before choosing another section. Eventually Dark took a deep breath and raised his gaze from the floor. "What has caused the damage into Link's body?" He inquired while already having a good guess of things.

Doctor McKeen shrugged. "The police didn't tell much but if I had to guess… Well, I'd say Link was protecting Darky with his own body." He replied and opened a door they had just reached. "Your youngest brother is in here." The man told and let Dark enter the room first.

Like in Link's case, Darky was the only patient in the room. The black haired male was hooked up into some machinery. His oldest brother stared at him for a moment and gulped once before carefully walking over to him. "D-Darky…" He called bit weakly and sat down to the bed. The ruby eyed older brother gently petted the younger one's hair. "Darky…. Come on, lil bro, it's time to wake up…" He gently commanded while pretty much fought to keep his voice calm.

"I'll leave you two alone now." Doctor McKeen said and turned around. Yet, he didn't get to take even one step when Dark already called after him. The doctor turned to face him while being quite certain of knowing what the man was going to say.

"May I…." Dark started before taking once a deep breath to stay in one piece. "May I stay with my brothers? I…. I can't leave them alone. They need me right now." He told while slightly fearing for the answer.

Doctor McKeen sighed slightly but it was simply for the fact of having heard the same question so many times throughout his life. "Of course you may." He started with a nod and a slight smile. "Usually family and familiar voices are what brings the patients back." The doctor told out of experience and nodded once more before leaving the room.
