A/N: You know what? Forget about what I said on chappy 2s A/N okie dokie?

Snow slowly fell from the heavens when Malon woke up that morning. She lifted herself off the floor and glanced at her new companion who was cooking something over an open fire. She smiled. Even though it was cold she was warm since Dark Link decided to lend her a blanket which over all was extremely warm. They've been together in the woods for about a week and started growing quite fond of each other. As a matter of fact, Malon, being her romantic self, started having a crush on Dark Link but it was hard to tell if he felt the same since his expression was often emotionless but Malon enjoyed him anyway. Malon could adapt to anyone in a heartbeat, weather it was a mad man or the kid who scared everybody away. She watched Dark Link stare at the fire, it must of reminded him of the heat of the desert in which he came from, or the many great fires his father, Gannondorf created during the days of evil that Link often talked about. The truth is, Malon didn't remember any of it. After Link decided to go back to his own time everybody but the sages, Link and Zelda didn't even know who Gannondorf was. So silently, Malon walked up to the young man before her and sat next to him hoping she could think of something to talk about.

" Maybe you should go home, Malon" Dark Link whispered, " I'm sure your father misses you...". Malon sighed and wrapped the blanket around her tighter, " No, I wanna stay here, make sure you're alright, these woods are dangerous you know..." Dark Link smiled but it quickly faded, " Malon, please leave...for the love of God, please leave..." Malon frowned and talked back, " Why? What's wrong?". Dark Link stood up and pulled out a bow and arrow, not pointing at Malon but at something off in the distance, " Please, stay the innocent person you are and go, You have never witnessed death and I'm sure you don't want to...". " Just don't be the one to die ok?," Malon whispered as she ran off but curiously hid behind a tree.

Out of the blue ( maybe I should say green since they are in the woods), Link came out with a bow and arrow drawn also, the expression on his face showed that he was angry and disturbed that Dark Link was still alive. " Why the hell are you still alive? Didn't kill you already?" Link whispered loudly, it wasn't like him to cuss, but as you can see, he was pretty pissed off. " Nope, seems like you failed lad, I'm healthy and happy as you can obviously see. Well, maybe not because my skin is quite..." Dark Link was cut off right then and there. " SHUT UP! I'm not going to fail this time... why did you have to bring a girl into this, especially? Malon, I know Malon's been missing for a week and Ingo reported seeing you with her that one night at the ranch" Link was getting his bow and arrow ready, " He claims you where trying to woo her into doing something, I'm curious about what that was" he was ready to shoot at the other him but then his target disappeared into the shadows and reappeared right behind of him, " Hey, just worry on your own girl, Zelda I believe?," Dark Link said as he punched Link in the back of the head, causing him to loose a bit of his balance. "Leave Zelda Alone you Bastard!" Link shouted angrily ." Say, let us have a little sword fight shall we, last one alive is well, alive oh and, can get all the cash and your house? Alright with you Light Me?," Dark Link smirked as he said this, putting away his bow and arrow and replacing it with his sword. " I don't make deals with who I can't trust," was the dark reply.

It has been a while since Dark Link killed anyone. He may be addicted to this crime and massacre the entire population of Hyrule unless somebody he trusted well enough convinced him not to. There was only one person he believed could do it, and that was Gannondorf which of course was long gone trapped away.

Malon clenched her fists tightly and began feeling cold sweat starting to drip from her forehead. One of them was going to die,. it was either her Fairy Boy or D.L. one was going to die and there was nothing she could do about it, or could she? Just as about the fight was about to begin Malon remembered the old Celtic story of Deirdre. Deirdre was a beautiful woman and a king fell in love with her. But Deirdre was already in love with someone so they eloped to Ireland with the help of her lovers two cousins. the King found out and killed her lover and eventually Deirdre died of the intense sorrow in her heart. But which man was The Lover and which was the king? Will Malon's true lover die and will she two die of the great sadness that would fill her heart. She had to try to rescue the one she cared for the most, even if it meant killing her. And the fight begun.

As the fight got more and more intense Dark Link, being Link's dark side and fear and anger decided to play dirty tricks on Link's mind. " You're scared, I know it, you don't look it, but I feel the fear rising every

second, it makes me stronger..." Dark Link said coldly as he dodged yet another swing. " Shut up! I am not scared!" Link replied, taking a step back to avoid being stabbed. " Hmm, feisty. Anger also makes me strong, this is quite pointless Link, give up." Dark Link laughed. It was amazing how somebody could be so cool about the fact the he could die any second. " Shut you dumb ass!" Link shouted but then he received a two word reply that could just end the fight right there... " Make me...". Link grew furious and tripped Dark Link and was right about to stab his foe when Malon ran out of nowhere and was stabbed instead. She was stabbed clear through her right side, next to her stomach. The young girl screamed and collapsed on the forest floor, forming a blanket of blood beneath her.

Link looked shocked that Malon came out of nowhere, and Dark Link was shocked that Malon wasn't gone yet. Dark Link glared at Link and got up, he was ready to just go on murder mode, for his eyes turned a deep shade of crimson. " YOU FUCKING BASTARD! WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT!" he said cruelly, his skin turned a bit grayish and he was slowly moving towards Link dropping his sword and and taking out three daggers instead. Link backed up, somewhat frightened, looking down at Malon's intense bleeding and knowing that he was probably about to die. All of a sudden Link felt himself being slammed into a tree by a dark shadow and a piercing pain aroused from his right shoulder. He screamed in pain and watched as the blood dripped down. Dark Link appeared again, still in murder mode, this time stabbing Link in the left shoulder, causing Link to be stuck on the tree. Dark Link smirked and slowly moved the last dagger towards Link's neck but Malon somehow crawled towards him and tugged on his leg.

" Please! DL! Don't kill him! Please. For the love of Din please don't kill him..." Malon whispered the last question, about to cry. Dark Link glanced down at Malon and his expression softened at the pitiful woman. He kneeled down and stared at her in the eyes, " You know, you're probably going to die in about a few hours.." he whispered and Malon nodded. " Well, I just wanted to say Thanks...I promise you, I'll do three things for you in return, anything, you got it Malon?". Malon nodded and looked up at Link, who started looking a bit pale because of the fear that Dark Link would lie and kill him anyway. Malon smiled faintly and pointed at Link, " Don't kill him DL...he may be nineteen but he's still considered a boy and has a whole life ahead..." Dark Link nodded and stood up, removed the daggers from his victim's body and took Malon, ready to take her home where she belonged. On the way, Malon fainted, this time it was real. She lost a lot of blood and it was forming a trail on the snow. It was already night time so it would be really easy to sneak into the ranch and maybe sleep over till the next day to make sure Malon was alright. He wasn't worried of any monsters, after all, he was evil and they wouldn't harm him.

As they reached the farm house on Lon Lon Ranch, Dark Link grew a bit tired so he climbed up the boxes with Malon in one arm and he dropped her into her bed softly. He applied bandages to her wound and soon fell asleep next to her. A few hours later Malon opened her eyes and stroked Dark Link's hair softly, " you won't believe what I've got in store for you my evil fairy boy..." she whispered as she closed her eyes again.
