Chapter X (Written 28-Mar-2016)
A/N: Okay so like, Fire Emblem Fates came out and yeah. That justifies itself. In total, I have put at least 100 hours into all thre routes, grinding for supports and DLC missions, ECT. Oh yeah I have a 3ds now. I play FE Fates, Pokemon Y and sometimes Sm4sh. My friend code will be on my profile. Maybe. IDK.
In other news, I am cancelling all updates on OOTS, my RWBY story, until further notice. I will rewrite it on a later date. I /may/ also rewrite this at some point in time, so yeah.
Also no LH fic yet so RIP
Soundtrack of the Day(s)- Sixx AM, Panic!, FOB, Nirvana and Veela. (I highly suggest listening to Nirvana's cover of David Bowie's "The Man Who Sold The World". Its p good. As is "Long Drive Home" by Lin, featuring Veela. V good.)
Link
"Link!" She yells, from outside the now-flaming circle. I shout what seems to be her name back, but I can't understand what it was.
I turn to face the giant beast. It swings it's large arm at me, and in an attempt to lessen the blow, I raise the Sword of Evil's Bane. The attempt was futile, however, as the force of the hit knocks the sword over the wall of fire. I turn back to look at what was the Evil King, only to be hit by the unholy monstrosity.
"Link!" She yells once again, unable to help.
I attempt to rise, but the beast in now standing over me. As the demon laughs, it reaches out and grabs me, preparing to-
I wake up in a cold sweat, shaking and breathing heavily.
Why do these nightmares keep occurring? I ask myself, crawling out of my bed. I look towards the clock, the numbers I can just make out in the dark- 5:46 AM.
I walk to the kitchen to grab a glass of water. It's way too late to go back to sleep. I have to be up in twenty minutes anyways. Might as well hop in the shower... I think to myself, gulping down the drink.
As I walk to the bathroom to start my shower, I hear a knock on my door. Who the hell could be knocking on my door this early in the morning?
I check the peephole, to find the perpetrator to be the person I would have least suspected- one Zelda Harkinian, still in her pajamas.
I grab a notecard from beside my door (Used for these exact incidents, since I can't call out to the visitor), and write a short message on it.
'Let me put pants on- Link'
I slid the note under the door, knocking at the bottom to draw her attention there.
"Hurry up. I need to talk," She says, her voice shaking a tiny bit.
I rush to my room, putting on the first pair of sweatpants I could find, and hustle back to open the door for the early-morning guest.
Zelda
The door opens, and I see a very messy-looking Link. His hair is a bird's nest, his face and body slicked with moisture.
"You just get out of the shower or something, Link?" I ask, following him into his home. He turns to face me and shakes his head. He looks shaken up, like how I must appear to him. 'Just woke up. Nightmares and all that,' He signs to me, and I nod. "Me too,"
'Is that why you want to talk?' I simply nod. 'Tell me what the dream included, then,'
"I was standing outside of a firey circle. There were two things inside the circle. A person wearing green, funny-looking clothes, and a gigantic monster," I begin recounting the dream, and Link looks at me, and his face is very pale.
'Let me guess. You tell this person's name, and they yell yours. You can't seem to make out the name you yelled, however. The beast knocks a sword out of the person's hands, and knocks him down as well. You yell out his name, and he gets killed by the beast,' He signs quickly, his hands shaking somewhat.
"Yeah, that's exactly what happens. How did you know?" I ask, confused as all hell.
'I have the same dream, except I am in the circle, fighting the demon. The girl in the dream yells my name. It usually ends before the demon kills me,' His signing is slowing down a bit, but his shakiness increases.
"Is that why you woke up this early? Did you have the same dream?"
He simply nods, and walks to the kitchen, pulling out two mugs and some hot chocolate mix. I laugh.
"You realize that it is the middle of September, right? It is still way too warm to drink hot chocolate," I tease him, my voice still unsteady.
Link
'It helps me feel better. I'm making you a cup too, as it may have the same results,' I sign, pouring the milk into the cups and putting them both into the microwave.
I move back to the couch, sitting by Zelda.
'Why do we have these dreams? Why do we have the exact same one?'
"I don't know, Link. I wish I did, but I just... don't. It scares me. Even moreso, now that I know that the green-clad man is you. It's so horriffic," She starts shaking even harder than she was before, and I reach over to grab her hand, before hesitating.
What if she get's the wrong idea? I think to myself, before shaking my head. She's fucking crying, dude. I think she'll understand.
I grab her hand, and squeeze it. And now I can't tell her it's going to be okay. I can't sign with one hand, at least not efficiently.
She smiles at me, before raising her arms and hugging me.
"I'm so happy that you're here right now, Link,"
I wrap my arms around her, and hug her tightly.
And then her brother walks in.
Sheik
I knew something was up when Zel wasn't in her bed this morning. I thought that, you know, she would be in the bathroom or something. But nope. No twin sister in the bathroom. Or kitchen.
What I wasn't prepared for, however was this scene I had just walked in on. Seeing Link, sweaty and shirtless, hugging my sister, who is in her pajamas, with both of their hairs messy as hell, is not something I would have imagined seeing on a monday morning.
"Okay, what the actual HELL?" I shout, more than just startled. "What the FUCK have you two been doing? I mean, seriously?"
Zelda jumps up, letting go of Link. "It's not what it looks like, Sheik. I swear!" She says. Link just sighs and shakes his head, moving towards the kitchen.
"I never would have figured that you would be sneaking out of our apartment to go and visit Link. And seriously, Link, did you seriously fuck my sister? Like, really man. I understand that Malon and I were pushing you two to get together, but that's just low," I turn to Link, and began bitching at him. "What the hell caused you to randomly do this?"
"Sheik, shut up! When I said it wasn't what it looked like, I meant it," Zelda snaps at me. A beep is heard from the kitchen, and after a few minutes of silence, Link appears in the living room with two cups of something. He hands one to Zelda, and offers me the other.
"Thanks," I mutter, still fuming. I take a sip to identify the mystery drink, and to my surprise, it's hot chocolate.
Link goes back to the kitchen, presumably to make another cup for him, since he gave me the other cup. I suddenly feel a lot more guilty for flipping out on him.
"Look Sheik, I had a nightmare, okay? It was a terribly horrifying one, and for whatever reason, I was compelled to come talk to Link about it. He was already up, since he also had a nightmare. The same one, I might add, but from a different perspective. I had a breakdown, and he was comforting me. Nothing more, nothing less," Zelda explains.
I now feel like a total asshole. "Why did you come to Link instead of me? I mean, we are twins, albiet somehow our skin colors and eye colors are way different, but still. We tell eachother everything, remember?" Link returns from the kitchen with this, another mug of hot chocolate in his hand.
"I don't know Sheik. Maybe the fact that we had the same dream has something to do with it? I don't know," She says. Looking at Link, who just shrugs.
Link signs something to Zelda, who blushes and nods. "Link needs to go shower. As should we. It is a school day after all," She states, getting up. "He also says that you owe him for the drink,"
"Not fair! He gave you one for free!" I protest.
"I was an invited guest, who was having a nervous breakdown. You burst in here, and started bitching him out. Now go hop in the shower, you idiot,"
"Fair enough, mom," I mutter, but I still obey her, running back to our appartment to bathe.
A/N- Okay so yeah. The dream sequence is from OOT, the final boss battle. It basically goes that way, except when G-Dorf (or just G in this case) hit Link and knocks him away. And then kills him. And I wonder who the reincarnation of G-Dork is in this story... such a mystery...
