It was a dark void. It seemed to go on forever. And the pressure. I felt like puking. It was to much. My legs felt as if they could give way at any minute. My arms felt like they were slowly being sawed away with a rusty dull sword.
I collapsed under the pressure of the dark void. I could hardly breath, my ribs hurt, and my heart constantly pounded against my ribs at an unhealthy pace. I held my sides to ease the pain.I glanced up at Dark Link. He looked down at me, with untouched eyes. No pity at all. He was fine with all this pressure. He just stood there, gazing down at me. As if I was a lesser being. Weak and helpless
The pressure was suddenly gone. It vanished. I gasped for air and held my sides even tighter. I leaned forward, my head hitting the ground. I couldn't control the frenzy of coughs that seemed to be endless. Blood eventually started to come with each cough. And I had to fight back the urge to toss what little my stomach contained.
I was hoisted up by an arm, Dark Link's doing I guessed. My eyes traveled up from the ground to the large seat and strange instrument I had never seen before. Of course, being raised by Zora's, I never really had an interest in musical instruments.A dark figure stood and met my gaze. My eyes narrowed into a glare. Although, it isn't as threatening when you're coughing uncontrollably.
"Well, you did at least half of what you were told to do." He said.
"Please excuse me, Lord Ganondorf." Dark Link said getting on one knee. I on the other hand stood.
I was not going to bow or plead or anything to Ganondorf. He ruined Zora's Domain, and trapped my family in ice.
I gritted my teeth. I grabbed both my daggers, and, without thinking, charged him. He quickly blasted an energy ball from his hand at me. It hit me, and made me feel like I was going through that dark void once again, but at a quicker pace. The pain swept through my body in a short wave. My eyes widened as I was thrown back like a rag doll into Dark Links arms.
"Hold her." Ganondorf instructed. Dark link grabbed my arms, forcing me to drop my daggers, and held them behind my back. I didn't bother struggle. I felt to weak, to drained. "I suppose your wonder why I had him bring you here unscathed."
"Yes, I am." I mused. My voice was raspy, my throat hurt. "Tell me now!" Dark Link's grip on my arms tightened and he tensed. Perhaps surprised at my actions. Or maybe not. Maybe something else.
Ganondorf just laughed.
I cringed, it was the creepiest laugh ever. It sounded so wrong, unnatural. "Girl you will learn your place soon enough."
"Its Yumiko. Not girl." I spat.
"Yes I know. And I know a lot more. Of your family. Your power." Ganondorf said.
"Family? Tch, what family, the only family I know is the Zora's." I said.
"Yes, you remember nothing of the ages 1 2 3 4 and5. At age 6, you were found in Zora's domain. Its a pity they left you with them." I was silent. "Wouldn't you like to know why you are such a good fighter. Why you can fight with such skill, when the Zora's taught you nothing in the ways of fighting."
"I don't want to learn it from you." I glared as best I could. "You hurt the only people I thought to be my family, then you send this fucker to come and get me!! Just to tell me things, things that could ultimately be a lie! I don't want anything from you! You hurt the people closest to me! You-" He was quickly in front of me and he punch me in my stomach, making is much harder to hold in the vomit.
"Enough." He looked at Dark Link. "Bring her to her room. Then come back, we need to have a little talk." Dark Link seemed to flinch at the word talk. Obviously that isn't what Ganondorf meant.
Dark Link picked up my daggers and dragged me out of the room. When the large metal door slammed shut he rested me against the wall.
He put the daggers back into their holsters and once again hoisted me up. He put one of my arms around his shoulders and slid one of his arms around my he walked he spoke, "Its not very wise to talk to him the way you did."
"Heh, well, I don't care. I'll speak my mind, even if it gets me killed." I said.
"Stubborn." Dark Link said.
"I guess you could say that." I said.
After going down numerous halls and going down a large fleet of stairs, Dark Link stopped at a door. He opened it.
It was very dark. Almost pitch black. Dark Link let me lean on the door post while he got a torch from the he came back he lit some torches in the room. He helped me over to the bed, then he just stood there."What do you want Dark? Can't I be left alone for a few minutes?" I asked, irritated by his constant staring.
"Dark?" he questioned.
"Yes. Even some one as vile as you deserves their own name. I will call you Dark." I said.
"Very well then. I must be taking my leave." Dark said before disappearing into a dark void. I shuddered when I saw it. Seeing it brought back some of the feelings, the sickly feelings I had in the void.
My eyes scanned the room. Dank and plain. A small table in the middle of the room, two chairs. A large door, probably leading into a closet. And another smaller door, perhaps leading into a bathroom. Or the other way around. It didn't matter to me. Link was going to get me out of this hell hole soon passed. Curiosity gnawed at my brain with each passing minute. And I was just laying there. Staring at the ceiling. Nothing to do. Waiting for Link.
Surely it wouldn't take him long to find me, and break me out of this damned place.
About ten minutes later I couldn't stand it any more. I swung my legs over the side of the bed and crept over to the large door. I pushed it open and stuck my head out.I was surprised to see a group of Stalchid. Once they passed I walked out of the room. On either side of the door there was a Iron Knuckle. I screamed and stumbled back.
When I fell to the ground, I looked up and saw several Keese hanging from the ceiling.I froze. I didn't want any of these creatures attacking me. I didn't have all my strength back yet. And I would be an easy kill for them."What's wrong with you?" Dark's voice questioned. He appeared next to me.
"Scary, big, metal. They're going to kill me!" I yelled. Dark looked at them then at me, and laughed.
"You idiot." Dark said picking me up off the floor. "They have been told not to hurt you."
I gulped."Are you sure they wont-"
"Yes I'm sure." Dark paused. "You scared?"
"No- I'm just smart. I'm not at full strength and I can't fight back as of now." I crossed my arms.I herd a loud, pained moan.
The sound of a ReDead.
I slowly turned my head to see three of them approaching me. I screamed and clung to Dark. Those things scared the shit out of me, the one monster in all of Hyrule I couldn't fight."Those on the other hand, wont listen." Dark commented.
A jolt of fear ran down my spine. And I shivered."Kill them!"
"Well if you let me go I could." I immediately let him go. He took out his sword and quickly slew each ReDead. "Why are you so frightened of one of the weakest creatures in all of Hyrule."
"They just creep me out. Icky yucky. Very-" I shuddered. Dark just laughed.
"Any way, I'm here to tell you something."
"I'm FREE?!?!"
"No. I have to be your babysitter."
"I'm not a baby!"
"Obviously you need to be watched." I narrowed my eyes.
"I can take care of myself fine!" I pushed past him. I was no more then six steps away when he snapped his fingers.
Stalchids came from the floor, surprising me. These lesser monsters didn't scare me, so I whipped out my daggers and began slashing soon my body grew tired. It still hadn't recovered from all the snapped his fingers again and the Stalchid were gone. I put my daggers away."So, what was that about not needing my help."
"Why bother having you help me when you cause the discomfort in the first place." Dark was silent. "Screw it, I'll just go rot away in the room I'm told to stay in."And as soon as I get better, I'm bustin out.I was at the door and waited for Dark to say something.
I grew impatient, so I turned around to see he wasn't there.
I shrugged. I went back into 'my room' and laid on the bed. I felt so uncomfortable.
I decided to see if the room I thought was a closet, was a closet. Turns out the bigger door lead to a bathroom, and the smaller one to a closet. And the cloths in the closet were, well, not exactly my taste. Mostly dresses. And what wasn't dresses was, in my opinion, to tight to wear.
Was Ganondorf some lecherous old pervert? Oh Goddesses, I hope not.
On my third scan through the cloths I gasped, "Oh my freakin Goddess!" I grabbed the long black and red dress out. Long shiny silk. Black and red. It was almost perfect. "Just needs some fine tuning." I took out my dagger and set to I was finished I cut off a lot of it, but still made it look elegant and beautiful like a dress should look. But made it easy to move in. I also cut off the long sleeves. That above all else made me happy about it. Sleeveless. Perfect.I made sure no one was in the room, and the door was shut before I changed. I didn't trust that perverted Dark Link. Not to mention any other minions like him that Ganondorf might .
"Not bad." Dark's voice seemed to bounce off the walls and ring in my ears.
"What was that clicking sound?" I asked. Dark didn't .
"It was the door." Dark finally said. It was then that I noticed he had something in his hands.
"What's that?"
"Soup. I didn't exactly know what to make you. As per orders, I have to take care of you." He put the soup on the table and sat at one of the chairs.
"Ok mommy." I said bitterly. I took a seat at the little table and tasted the soup. Not that bad, needs fish though. It was then that I realized how famished I was. I quickly ate. I ate so fast the I felt like I was going to become sick again.
"Calm down. Eat slower. Your going to make yourself puke otherwise."
"I'm quite aware of that now." I glared. Dark gave me an odd look. I raised an eye brow and titled my head to the side. "What?"
"You are-" Dark paused, thought for a moment, then finished with, "I'm going to go. I have something I need to do." And with that, he vanished into the dark void.
"Why must he do that in front of me." I complained to the sick feeling passed over I went over to the bed and laid down. It took me only a mere few seconds to fall into a deep sleep.
