Robin

"Robin~" The voice called out cheerily. I was tempted to ignore the voice entirely and just sleep, but the sharp pain firing through my head told me that wasn't an option. "Don't ignore me!"

"Go away, you're irritating." I told the voice without much care of the truth potion.

"Ouch! It pains me to hear you say that so truthfully." The voice continued, though the sarcasm was quite obvious.

"If you don't want me to tell the truth then don't put truth potions in my food."

"I see you've figured it out." The voice mused. It was so obvious that he had something to do with it, I don't know how I couldn't have known.

"You said I was going to suffer, of course you would be responsible for me revealing I had no memories to my comrades."

"I also used Lucina, just to add to that extra sting." Grima said, probably grinning like a madman.

"Too bad for you, Chrom and the others have accepted that I have no memories." I answered, annoyed that he used Lucina like that. If she knew that it was her fault that Chrom learned about my amnesia she would feel responsible, even if it was a trap.

"Yes, I forgot how accepting that fool was." Grima said. "Though I knew this was going to happen, that's why I told her this wouldn't work."

"Her?" I repeated. 'He had partners now?' I had a feeling the woman we were talking about was the same one who used Corrin.

"It's a secret~" Grima mused. "If you really wanted to know all you have to do is accept me."

"I'll figure it out on my own." I said dryly. There was no way that I would ever join him.

"You just keep thinking that." Grima said, as if reading my thoughts. Though I guess he was always reading my thoughts and thus I never had any privacy. "I can't wait for the day when you join me."

"I won't-" I stopped when I realized the voice had left. My teeth clenched tightly as I thought about what he said. 'Never, I'm never going to let that happen.' I became distracted as a foul smell entered the room. My eyes opened and I found Dr. Mario and Shulk sheepishly entering the infirmary. Both reeked of something that I couldn't even describe.

"Don't-" Dr. Mario started.

"What happened?" I asked. I sat up and was glad to see that the room was no longer spinning. "Who won?" Shulk blushed a little.

"I won, but…" He trailed off.

"At a terrible cost." Dr. Mario finished. I didn't understand what they were talking about at all.

"Wario decided to join in our fight." Shulk mentioned and I knew that he was going to smell like that for the next week or so.

"I see." I said, wishing that I wasn't confined in a room with the two.

"Where did that girl go?" Dr. Mario asked, apparently still wanting to fight.

"She left after Lucina dragged her away." I answered. "Y-you know I'm feeling a lot better now." Dr. Mario glanced at me skeptically.

"Fine, get out of here." He hissed. I sprang out of the bed and rushed to the hallway taking a large gulp of air. It was so nice compared to the infirmary.

"You can go on ahead, I have a couple hundred showers to take." Shulk told me and thankfully kept his distance.

"R-right." I stuttered a bit when I got another whiff of the stench. I left as quickly as possible as I couldn't stand it anymore. I felt bad for Shulk since he couldn't walk away from it like me. I will have to keep this incident in mind if I ever have to battle Wario.

"I AM FINE!" Someone shouted and I jumped. Recognizing the voice I rushed over to the source. Princess Zelda was leaning against the wall and Luigi was trying to help her. I walked over to the two and wasn't surprised to see Luigi crying.

"I'm a sorry," the man said between sobs, "I just wanted to a make sure you were a all right." Luigi gripped the end of his tie tightly and his head hung down letting the tears drop to the ground.

"Yes and I said that I am fine." Zelda hissed. I have never seen her like this before usually she is calm and respectful.

"Is everything alright?" I asked causing the two to turn around. Zelda's face was quite pale and I could see large drops of sweat dripping off her chin. Luigi looked relieved to see me, but the tears were still streaming down his face.

"Robin, please a help me." Luigi begged, which surprised me.

"What do you need help with?" I asked, though I assumed it had to do with Zelda.

"Zelda…" he took his tie and promptly blew his nose with it, "she refuses to go to the infirmary or her room to rest." Luigi explained, and I managed to not get distracted by his actions. I turned to Zelda and expected her to retort.

"There is nothing wrong with me." She said flatly. Zelda glared at Luigi causing him to squeak and use me as cover.

"Can you stand on your own?" I wondered and noticed how much she was using the wall to support herself. Zelda's face went a shade of red as she realized that she couldn't.

"I'm just resting!" She retorted. "It will pass soon." I doubted that. Zelda's face was extremely pale and there was still the sweat running down her face.

"Should I get Dr. Mario?" I said, not actually wanting to get him, but knew the answer I was going to get.

"Robin," Zelda's voice was low and harsh, "if I say I am fine then I am."

"Zelda," I returned coolly, "if you cannot stand on your own then you're not fine." Luigi was shifting around nervously behind me, as Zelda glared at me. I held her gaze without stepping back. Her blue almost grey eyes were sharp and it was clear that she was a ruler. Like Chrom. I knew that wasn't right though; Chrom had many allies helping him. Zelda was a lone ruler. While most people wouldn't dare go against her, I knew that she needed help. Slowly Zelda realized that I wasn't backing down and her gaze softened.

"Fine, bring Link here." She snapped. I was going to ask Luigi, but decided he wouldn't be capable.

"Luigi stay with Zelda." I told the man, and I saw the fear in his eyes. "If you need help then get Dr. Mario." The fear seemed to intensify, but Luigi nodded. "I'll return with Link." I said as I left. My first stop would be the library since that's where I would usually find him. I stepped into the large room, but it was pitch black. I hesitated to step in, the last time I was in the library…

"Are you going in or what?" I turned around to find myself looking at Ganondorf's broad chest.

"D-do you know if Link is in here?" I asked cautiously. Ganondorf leaned towards me and I stepped back.

"How should I know?" Ganondorf retorted. "Just because I'm his nemesis I should know where he is at all times?" He asked rhetorically.

"W-well no." I said and was surprised that I did not continue to blabber on. 'Did that stupid potion finally lose effect?' Ganondorf pushed passed me and I managed to keep my balance.

"It's simple to know if he is here or not." Ganondorf said. 'Was he trying to help me?' "Get out of the way!" Ganondorf shouted at me and I could only blink in surprise. In the next second I found myself on the ground. "Are you looking for a fight?" He yelled at me.

"N-no, I just wanted-"

"That's what I thought!" Ganondorf smiled smugly, but I had no idea what was happening.

"Ganondorf," a small voice said, "you're not supposed to yell in the library." Link came out of nowhere and helped me up from the ground.

"Yeah, yeah." Ganondorf waved his hand as he walked off. It finally clicked that he had just helped me…sort of. I rubbed my back, which stung from hitting the ground.

"…Are you alright?" Link murmured.

"Yes," Link backed away and I was afraid I would lose him, "wait a minute!" I shouted.

"Don't yell." He whispered and stopped walking away.

"Right sorry," I said embarrassed, "but Zelda needs you right now."

"Needs?" He repeated and his eyes sharpened.

It didn't take long to explain what happened and to bring him to where Luigi was waiting with Zelda. Zelda was now kneeling on the floor actually looking worse than before and Luigi was still crying.

"Oh thank goodness." Luigi said as he saw us, but he still looked tense.

"Zelda!" Link said loudly as he rushed over to her. I was shocked at the volume of his voice, but then again it made sense in this situation.

"Link…" Zelda murmured. Link was kneeling beside her, yet it seemed like he was keeping his distance.

"What's wrong?" Link asked as he looked her up and down searching for a wound. Zelda didn't answer and only shook her head. "I'll bring you to Dr. Mario, I'm sure he'll know what to do." Link reached around Zelda and easily lifted her off of the ground.

"No!" Zelda screeched and Link tilted his head. "Bring me to my room please." She said regaining her usual calm. Link nodded and looked at me.

"Thank you…" He murmured and went off with Zelda in his arms. Of course the biggest question I had was what was wrong with Zelda? I glanced at Luigi, who finally stopped crying, but knew he wouldn't have any information.

"D-d-do you think she'll be alright?" Luigi stammered and it took me a while to register that he was speaking to me. He looked ready to cry again and since I wasn't being forced to tell the truth anymore I can give him an answer he wants to hear.

"She'll be fine since Link is with her." I told him optimistically. Luigi smiled a bit.

"I'm so glad," he said as he leaned back against the wall, "I wasn't sure what to do when I saw her fall over like that."

"It was a good thing you found her…though she should really go to the infirmary." 'Why was she so reluctant to go?' I tried to figure a reason, but didn't come to anything logical. Luigi yawned and scratched under his nose, bristling the moustache hairs.

"Well, I think it's a time to hit the hay." Luigi waved as he walked away. I hadn't realized how late it had become, so I decided to head to my room. It has been a long time since I last slept in my own bed. I came to a stop at the hallway with my room. Waiting in front of my door was Kamui, which was strange. She noticed me standing at the end of the hallway and waved, but continued guarding my door.

"Is there something I can help you with?" I asked Kamui as I got to my door, though she was blocking me from entering my room. Kamui smiled and leaned against my door.

"It's unlikely." Kamui mused and I could instantly tell something was wrong.

"Who are you?" Kamui grinned at my question.

"You're sharp." She said, ignoring my question. "Then again you saw me throw the Bob-omb as well."

"You-" She put a hand over my mouth before I could finish.

"Yes, that was me." Kamui admitted, well the woman that looked like Kamui. "I'm also the one who asked Corrin to spy on Lucina and I'm responsible for the truth potion today." Her hand didn't move, so I assumed she wasn't done talking yet. "Robin I want you to accept Grima for me." 'So she knew about Grima as well?' I pulled away from her.

"Never." I told her. Kamui frowned and her gaze sharpened.

"I'll just have to kill someone then." She said as if it was nothing. "Who should it be?"

"Master Hand will-"

"-stop me?" She finished. "Unlikely." Kamui inspected her nails. "Should I get rid of Chrom?" She suggested with a smile. "Or maybe Lucina?" The smile widened and Kamui looked insane.

"Don't you dare." I hissed, but Kamui only laughed.

"It's simple then just let Grima have control." Kamui smiled brightly. I clenched my hands as I considered the options. Neither would end very well. I can't let Lucina get hurt, but there is no guarantee that Grima won't do something after getting control.

"I won't let you hurt anyone." I finally answered and Kamui pouted.

"Ugh, you're so heroic it makes me want to puke." Kamui flipped her hair back. "I guess Grima was right," she leaned towards me, "you won't be taking the easy way out." Kamui straightened with a smirk.

"I'm not going to let Grima get control." I told her as she walked away, but she only laughed.

"Keep telling yourself that." Kamui said as she disappeared into the shadows of the hallway. It was irritating how confident they both sounded. I tried to relax as I entered my room, but I didn't know if Lucina was going to be alright. 'She would surely be asleep by now and going to a woman's room at this hour…' I stared at the time and knew that I should get to bed. I quickly slipped into my pajamas and brushed my teeth. Ready to, hopefully sleep, I turned the lights off in my room, but heard a small knock on the door. I froze in place unsure if I actually heard a knock or imagined it. The small knock repeated and I turned the lights on as I opened the door. Link stood in the dark hallway.

"H-hello?" I stammered. Link usually followed the rules so it was a surprise to see him out this late.

"Zelda is better now…" He said quietly. I felt relieved to know that she was alright, but the expression on Link's face made me tense.

"Link?" I watched his gaze fall to the floor.

"I don't understand," Link began, "Zelda…she wouldn't tell me what's wrong." Since Link was clearly bothered by this fact I assumed that Zelda confided with him normally.

"Has she been acting strange lately?" I asked, unsure if it was anything important. Link stood there silently and slowly he seemed to realize something. He turned to leave, without saying anything, but I managed to grab his arm.

"Would you mind telling me?" I tried to hide my annoyance with a smile. Link stared at me for a long time and it was beginning to feel a little awkward.

"Zelda has been avoiding me lately…" He finally spoke. "She has also been spending a lot of time with another smasher."

"Do you know who?" Link shook his head, but I wondered if this had something to do with that woman. "I see," Link looked at me quizzically, "don't worry I'm sure Zelda is alright." I lied, she was definitely not if she was meeting with that woman all the time. 'Was Zelda being threatened or bribed? It was most likely threatened, since Zelda didn't seem like someone who could be bribed with a wish.'

"Robin…" Link began, but then shook his head and left. I watched him leave until he disappeared around the corner. This was getting serious. I was apparently not the only person in danger, just much more obvious. It struck me that Link had information missing from his adventure and it was possible that everything was coming right back to the library. 'How many people were acting strangely without anyone noticing?' Of course there weren't that many people who read their adventures, so no one knew if they had information missing or not. The idea of asking everyone was illogical as it didn't work the first time, so I needed a new plan. I sat on my bed and considered the best way to get everyone to work together. While I knew that it was probably impossible there was one person who seemed to have everyone's respect and trust. I stared at the clock and decided my plan would have to wait until the morning. I turned off the lights and quickly fell asleep, hoping that she would go along with it.

Author's Notes

Well school is back, so I apologize for how late this is but it might become the norm. It's only been a couple of days and I already have a bunch of work to do, plus I'm super tired already.

I managed to beat Tokyo Mirage Session before school kicked into high gear, so now I can take time beating Twilight Princess…which for some reason I haven't beat but I've seen and helped people beat it multiple times.

Leave a comment or review! Until next time~
