Awesome! My last chapter had exactly 1,000 words! I wonder if that makes me weird for getting excited about how many words I have in a chapter? Anyway, enjoy!
Link groaned and slowly woke up. He wanted to die so badly, he wanted all of the pain to end. He just wished that Dark would kill him already. Yet, he thought it wouldn't be fair on Zelda. She was suffering as well, but hopefully nothing as bad as what Link is. Link sighed. 'Zelda... I don't want you to stay alone with these monsters. That's why I won't die yet. I'll make sure they suffer first. But I don't have my sword. What can I do to save me and Zelda?' Link asked himself. Link to the side, and saw that Dark was still asleep. Link was about to run for it, until he heard a knock at the door. Dark woke up, and looked at the door. "Who is it?" he asked, and the door opened, to reveal Vaati, holding Zelda's hand. Link smiled, seeing Zelda.
"Dark, I'm going somewhere, so I'm leaving the Princess in your hands for a while", Vaati explained. Dark nodded. "Fine. Alright. What are you doing, anyway?" Dark asked, with curiosity. "I'm the very reason why there's food, Dark. And who keeps eating them all?" Vaati asked rhetorically. Dark blushed in embarrassment. "Not in front of the prisoners. Off you go", he said, waving his hand. Vaati smirked, and left the room. Dark pretended not to notice Zelda, and instead, started to assault Link. Link tried his best to get away from Dark, but to no avail. His darker half was stronger. Zelda glared at Dark. 'Such a jerk! How dare he!' she thought, angrily. Link started to give in, which angered Dark a lot. Dark smacked Link. "React, damn it!" he shouted. Zelda had had enough. "Leave him alone!" she yelled, and slapped him. Dark glared at the Princess. "You dare?!"
"Apparently, seeing as I just did!"
Dark was angered by that answer, and he stood up. Link gasped. "No! Don't her!" he begged, but Dark ignored him, and smacked Zelda. She fell back on the floor, and she groaned.
Dark stood over her. Zelda gulped. Dark materialised a whip in his hand. Link gasped. Dark kicked Zelda in the gut. She hissed in pain, and Dark brought the whip down. It connected with her thigh, and she yelped in agony. 'Ow... This hurts!' she thought. Dark grinned, and went to hit her again, when Link stood in front of Zelda. "You leave her out of this! Do all you want to me, but I won't let you hurt Zelda!" Link explained, glaring at Dark. Dark frowned. "Pathetic, aren't you?" he rhetorically asked, and the whip connected with Link's face. He fell next to Zelda, and she gasped. "Link, are you all right?!"she frantically asked, and Link forced a smile. "Peachy...", he replied, and Dark growled at them. "Not for long", he explained, and aimed the whip at them both.
Link guarded the attacks, aimed at Zelda. 5 minutes later, Link fell unconscious. Zelda gasped, holding Link. "Link! LINK!" she exclaimed, in shock. He was battered and bloody from the beating. Dark raised his whip up. "Be thankful, Princess. I went easier on him than the previous ones", Dark explained, before hitting Zelda with the whip. She hissed in pain, but didn't make any sound of a scream. Dark frowned, and kept whipping her, until Zelda couldn't hold it in any more. She screeched in agony. 'I'm surprised how Link can live with this everyday! Vaati gave me an easy time. The two really are different from each other', she thought, and slowly loses consciousness. Wounds appeared from head to toe, on her body, and blood poured out from each one of them.
Dark huffed, angrily, then smirked. 'Teaches them! One, for the Princess interrupting my time, and Link, for getting in the way', he thought, then sighed. "I have to clear my head. I'm always feeling a pang in my chest, when I harm Link. Why? I don't like him, any more... Do I? I'll clear my head", Dark explained to himself, and left the room, leaving an unconscious pair, of Link and Zelda.
Byrne had heard a female scream, and he had gone up to Dark's room. Just as he got up to the same floor as Dark room, Byrne saw said shadow walking away. 'What's with him?' Byrne asked himself, but pushed the thought out of the way, and went inside Dark's room. He gasped, when he saw Link and Zelda, collapsed, on the ground.
He rushed to their side, and pulled out a potion. He started with Link, who looked the worse out of the two. Byrne brought the potion to Link's lips, and Link subconsciously drank it. Link's wounds healed immediately, and while Link's wounds healed, Byrne went to heal Zelda with the potion. She drank it as well, and her wounds healed. The two's wounds, fully healed, and Byrne wiped away the blood from their faces. Byrne looked around, to see if anyone was about. When he found no one, he went to pick the two up, to try and get them out of the palace and back to Hyrule castle.
Just as he picked them up, he had to put them down again, when he heard a voice. Byrne turned around, and saw that a Moblin was standing at the door. "Byrne... You needed. You help clean up mess Master Dark Link left behind. So much blood", the Moblin explained. Byrne sighed. "Another blood thirst? Fine, I'll be there in a second", Byrne replied, and the Moblin left. Byrne clenched his teeth. 'Damn... I was so close to them, and I have to leave them!' he thought, angrily, and looked at Link and Zelda.
"I'll promise I'll get you out of here", Byrne promised the unconscious duo, and left the room, to clean the blood from the creatures that Dark beat up.
I'm losing my horror punishments. Dark went easy on them this time.
Ugh. So much writing today. I had to write a full assessment which is how many pages long, and I was writing this. I'm surprised my fingers aren't bleeding. I now need to play Professor Layton. Such an awesome game!
