Disclaimer: I don't own Zelda or any of the characters.

Zelda grabbed for her bow and arrows but froze in her place when she felt a cold blade brush against her neck. She dropped her hands and let go of the bow. She thought how could I have been so stupid and let my guard down. Now I can't do anything this beast will kill me. She closed her eyes accepting her fate and took one heavy breath and waited for her killer to slash her neck.

"You don't fight back much when the other person has the advantage. I'd think for someone like you that you would at least put up a struggle when you know you are about to die."

Zelda opened her eyes. She couldn't really make out the figure that well. It was too damn dark. But she could certainly see the glowing red eyes staring back at her. The demonic eyes made her cringe and pulled her heart into knots. She felt the creature pull the sword away and felt an ice cold hand touch her face and it sent shivers down her spine. She was confused. Why didn't this beast just kill her already? Why is he just touching her? And how come this beast sounds so human? He simply sounded like a teenage boy with a deep mature voice and his hands...they were ice cold when it wasn't even cold out which was eerily strange...but his hand felt like a human hand. He was human...Wasn't he?

His deep voice spoke again, "You seem confused. But basically princess, I'm here to capture you."

"B-But why?"

He snickered. Zelda wanted to slap him so hard right then and there. This did not amuse her. In fact, she was scared straight.

"Oh calm down princess. I was only trying to lighten the mood. You've been looking like a deer in the headlights for the past two minutes. You know it hurts whenever I see such a pretty girl scared of me but I guess it only should be expected. I am just a creation of evil."

Zelda didn't know how to reply. She actually thought it would be best to say nothing at all. So she didn't.

The red eyed creature narrowed its eyes and he yanked at Zelda's arm forcefully dragging her next to him. He pulled something out of his pocket. It looked like a very tiny red orb. Almost the size of a bead. He threw it down on the ground and red smoke swallowed up Zelda and the mystery "man". Zelda coughed and gasped for air. She couldn't see anything but red smoke.

Finally, the smoke dispelled and Zelda found herself in a dark and roting dungeon. Wait, prison cells? There were vines that seemed as if they crawled up the wall all the way to ceiling. Zelda could hear a dripping sounds and rats scurrying across the floor in the dead silent prison. She could smell what seemed to be rotting flesh and vomit.

Zelda began to panic and struggle against the creature. She caught a glimspe of the beast and froze. He...looked like Link. Almost every feature was picture perfect and exactly like Link. Except the man had black skin, all black clothes, and glowing red eyes that looked nothing like Link's blue ones. His voice didn't match Link's. Link's voice was higher and this...man's voice was deeper.

The man smirked at Zelda's expression of shock.

"I am Dark Link. But you can call me Dark."

Zelda tried to pull her arm free again but Dark had a firm grip on her. She wasn't going anywhere.

Zelda raised her voice and yelled, "Why am I here?! I demand an answer!"

Dark just did that stupid smirk again that almost looked kinda seductive.

"I brought you here simply because my master told me to. You might know him. He's quite well known for faking his death."

Zelda's mouth dropped to the floor. It couldn't be the Dark King who tried to take over Hyrule. Zelda saw Link plunge the Master Sword right into his stomach. He's dead, right?

"Link killed him. There's no way he is alive. So quit with the funny jokes."

Dark chuckled and brought his lips close to her ear, "Oh, he's very much alive and very eager to see you."

Zelda shuddered from Dark's breath on her neck and ear. She felt cold fear and her heart started pounding. Why was Gannondorf "eager to see her". She could only imagine Gannon doing the same to her as Link did to him. Plunging a sword through her stomach.

She felt somthing suddenly push her foward. She fell on the cold hard stone. Zelda looked around. She was in a cell. She looked back and saw Dark lock the gate. She was now a prisoner with no way out.

She ran for the iron bars and started tugging and pulling on them but they wouldn't budge.

She screamed, "Let me out!"

Dark shook his head, "Foolish girl, if only you could've just stayed in your little castle where you belong."

He made his way to the exit door. He turned back and looked at her one last time before he opened the door.

"If only you were mine instead of his."

With that he turned and left Zelda alone to cry.
