Thanks to those who've already reviewed.::sniffsniff::Though it's not many,I'm
still happy SOMEONE'S reviewed.
On to the story!
Blurry images raced through his head.A young woman sat in front of him,she was
saying something and he realized he found comfort in her words,though he could
not understand them.A stabbing pain interrupted everything as her mouth rounded
into a scream.Something huge and black swept her up leaving him lying on the
ground.
Another monster.
He could see the blood gathered around him.His blood.Where was it coming from?
And someone leaning over him.Whispering.
"You will be ok..."
He recognized that voice.Recognized it in his soul,but could not name it.
Voices had to had a name,right?Or was it the other way around?
Did names need voices?
Someone was talking to him,telling him to rest.Link found himself gazing into a
mirror,gazing at himself.
But the mirror self was different.Mirror-Link had a cut across his left cheek and
he was standing in a small puddle of blood that covered the bottoms of his feet.
Link wondered where it was coming from.
Mirror-Link smiled eerily and turned around slowly.
Link could feel his chest tightening.Something was wrong here.
Was he trying to tell him something?
And then he saw it.Mirror-Link had turned all the way around now,and Link saw
that his back was completely covered in blood,coming from a large gash beneath
his shoulder blade.
Link's eyes widened and he felt a horrified scream rising within him.
Link opened his eyes wide with a jerk and found himself in Ann's cot.Heart
pounding,he searched his surroundings frantically.Finding only Ann he began to
calm down.
The images from his dream still disturbed him however and he found that he could
not rid himself of them no matter how hard he tried.As he sat there,trying to
make them disappear,it suddenly occured to him that Ann had no mirrors.
And as he thought on that,he remembered the cut on Mirror-Link's left cheek.
He brought his hand to his cheek and ran it over the skin,starting when he felt
the obvious signs of a scar.Heart beginning to beat quickly again he threw the
sheet off and stepped lightly to the kitchen.
He needed a mirror.
There was no mirror in the kitchen so Link made his way to the bathroom,growing
increasingly more frustrated when he still did not find one.He passed through the
hallway and came back into the bedroom.
Suddenly the knowledge that Ann had no mirrors was frightening to him.
Everyone had mirrors,didn't they?
He went back to the cot and sat down,trying to be silent,but the cot betrayed him.
Its springs creaked and Link jumped,almost as if the betrayal of the springs had
actually been a silent witness to the fear of his mind now. He realized he did
not even remember what he looked like.Had his eyes been green?Or blue?
Noiselessly he brought his legs up to the cot and sat.He remained on the cot
until light illuminated the room dimly,but not once did his eyes close.
Elsewhere,in a brightly lit room,a young woman with blonde hair held her head in
her hands and softly cried the name of the one who was now lost to her.The one
that she had loved above all.
When Ann awoke,she found that Link was already up and that he had made the cot.
Head tilted in wonder,she ventured out to the kitchen.
It was there she found Link.
He was sitting in a chair,knees brought up to his chin with a blank expression.
He did not look up when she came in.Immediately she knew something was wrong.
"What's wrong,Link?"
He did not answer.
She did not ask another question,but instead went to the sink and got the water
running.
"You have no mirrors."
Ann instantly froze,and Link didn't miss it.
He gave everything in the room a searching gaze and narrowed his eyes.
"I can not afford a mirror,Link.I'm sorry,"Ann had turned around and was now
using her right hand to lean against the cabinet.She turned back to the sink,"But
you may go into town and see if they have one if you'd like..."
Link gave her a cautious look and slowly let his legs fall back down to the floor.
He started to say something when someone began to knock on the door,softly,yet
audible.
Ann,clearly startled,stepped to the door quietly,wondering if it could possibly
be someone to take Link away.
"Who is it?"
The voice that answered was a familiar one.Link,for a moment,forgot about the
mirror and followed Ann.
Remb had finally come.
"Did something happen along the way?"
"I was stopped by a pair of Shadows who asked me what I was doing.I told them I
was delivering fish that were very late in their arrival.They asked to see for
verifaction."
Ann's expression showed concern,"And the fish?"
Remb shook his head,"They took it."
Ann sighed as her gaze traveled to the floor,"Yes.I was afraid they would."
Remb patted her hand and said reassuringly,"They will be ok."
These were the things Link could hear vaguely.It made him curious to see that
Ann seemed to value fish so much. It seemed somewhat...odd.He noticed it had
gotten quiet in the other room.
Something was definitely wrong.Ann had allowed him to cook the lunch.And now she
was inside the kitchen,gazing at him in an odd way.
"Link..."she spoke softly,hesitantly,"Why do you wish to see a mirror?"
Link slowly lifted his hand to his face to feel the scars there.He watched as her
eyes widened slightly and she asked in a meek voice,"Did you see that...in a
dream perhaps?"
He stared at her expression and felt a little weak in the knees for a second,but
found enough strength to ask,"Who is Zelda?And where did you really find me?"
Ann gave a small smile,"It's about time you remembered."
Remb stepped into the room and told Ann,"I have to be going,there is much
traveling ahead.I will see you in a few months I believe."
"Maybe even closer than that.."Ann murmured as she saw him out the door.
Later that night,Link had many questions to ask Ann.Just as she was sitting down
to answer these questions however,another knock came to the door,this time much
louder than Remb's.
Ann gave Link a cautious look and made no sound as she moved to the door.
"Yes?Who is it?"
There was no answer.Ann made a fleeting gesture that told Link to hide.Link
quickly hid himself in the closet Ann had shown him when he'd first had to hide.
From inside he could hear the door open and Ann ask,"What?Have I done something?"
He could almost the feel the fear in her voice.
There was silence in which he heard only a murmuring of what sounded like many
voices,and then Ann,"Oh.Ok then."
Then the door shut and he could hear no more.
After a few minutes of stillness,he peered around the partially open closet door
and found the house empty.
Ann was gone.
Ok!Hm....seems a bit rushed to me....::blinkblink::Maybe I'll rewrite it after
awhile...Someday.
Anyway uh if anyone's wondering who Ann and Remb and this other character I'll
be introducing REALLY are,you need to read Eternal,my other story.This is only a
side story for that one.
Just a little note.
Um...so...please review?
And please...NO FLAMES.
Even if it is a piece of crap.(which it probably is) ^_^'
....Is anyone actually reading this?o.O'
