Pain. All that he felt was pain. Zelda was right there, arrow went straight through her heart. Her body was already dead, collapsing onto the rock hard floor. He gazed around at his surroundings. Lucina and Zelda were dead, everyone else was tied up, and Peach was a full on sadistic psychopath. He looked around at what he used to call and amazing friendship... it was falling apart.
Zelda, his girlfriend, his lover, his soulmate... she was dead. Just like that.
Link struggled to crawl to her, but he did anyways. He hugged her in his arms, put his forehead against hers, and cried.
Anger, pain, sadness... they all weaken your heart, your mental health, making it easy for all sorts of evil to sneak in, without you realizing it.
Link blamed himself for all of this, he kept mumbling broken "I'm sorry's" in Zelda's ear. Why couldn't this just happen to him? He wished that he died in Zelda's stead.
Who'd rule Hyrule now?
He slowly lifted his head up to look at Peach, his eyes met her. Peach had tears streaming down her cheeks, which confused Link in why she was suddenly so emotional, but he didn't care.
Zelda. Was. Dead.
He slowly stood up, never breaking the eye contact. He walked over to Peach. Once he was only a few inches away from her, he screamed.
"I HATE YOU!"
Link started sobbing again, even harder. Everything and everywhere just hurt. On the outside, it was like a stinging pain from head to toe, but inside, it was like his soul was being stabbed a thousand times, over and over again.
He was in so much pain, it hurt to stay still, and with that temptation...
He slapped Peach.
Left cheek.
Right cheek
Left cheek again.
"YOU FUCKING BITCH! YOU WHORE! YOU SLUT!"
Link continued to degrade her. And what did Peach do about this?
Nothing.
She told herself she deserved this type of treatment. She didn't care how painful it was, she said she deserved it.
Everyone else watched in horror, unable to do anything because of the chains.
"FUCK YOU!"
And with that, Link ran away.
It was silent, except for Peach's sniffles, before someone spoke;
"Peach... what happened to you?" Palutena asked again.
See you later, Princess...
The chains that restrained everyone disappeared. They quickly got up and headed towards her. They were about to give her the lecture of her life, but before they could do so, she completely broke down.
She finally came back to her senses.
The gang all glanced at each other, then back at Peach, "I-I'm so so so so sorry everyone! I-I..." Peach trailed off.
Marth crouched down to her level, putting his hand on her back, "What is it?"
"My home is not fine! There was a huge war and Bowser completely destroyed my Kingdom and killed all my friends, and before I knew it, it was all an empty, barren desert and.. and then suddenly something— I don't know who or what, just told me I need to go kill! I-I don't know what I was thinking! I don't know why I fell for it!"
Robin furrowed his brows, "Then... why didn't you tell me that night I asked you?"
"Because it told me you don't care about me! It told me you were all fake! The reason I invited you guys was to kill you!"
Immediately, Peach felt Marth hug her. She hugged him back, sobbing even more.
"I'm a monster... I'm sorry..." She whispered.
Link just ran. He didn't know where he was going, or where he was gonna end up, but he just ran.
He just wanted to get away from everyone and everything.
Link's heart kept weakening and weakening, making him and easy prey for him. He who takes control of anyone who's heart is weak, and fills it with hatred.
And that hatred? Leading to actions extremely sinister.
He felt it. His heart filling with the demon. The unknown demon. He felt the need to take away someone's love. To pass on the pain of having a broken heart.
He needed to kill this damned love.
He didn't realize he was slowly starting to become a different person, with different goals to achieve.
