Gripping the sword's handle, Link turned to Navi before he pulled it out.
"I hope we're not forgetting anything." Link commented.
"No, we aren't. Stop being so paranoid and just pull the thing out already!" Navi squeaked impatiently.
Link breathed deeply, closing his eyes. He pulled it and the sword easily slid out. A bright blue vortex came up around them and then its light filled the chamber.
Link opened his eyes to see Navi flying in front of him.
"You going to daydream? Or get moving?" She questioned hardly.
"Good morning to you too." He replied sarcastically, his voice more deeper.
Link then lowered the Master Sword and placed it in his blue and gold carrier. He then felt a small iche coming from his throat. He glanced down at the polished marble floor.
"What the?! They're still there?!" He shouted a bit angrily.
"What?" Navi asked.
"These things!" Link put a hand to his throat.
Navi looked to see that the two puncture wounds were still very visible.
"You sure Malon didn't jab you with a pitchfork or something?" She asked wanting to laugh.
"Yeah funny to you since it can't ever happen to faries.
"Yeah too bad..." Navi mocked.
Before Navi could react, Link whacked her with his Megaton Hammer. She was smashed into the ground with a loud squeak of surprise.
"Now I feel better...let's go!" Link evily grinned.
Navi rose from the stone floor letting out a small growl towards Link as she flew uneasily trying to keep up with him. As they exited the Temple of Time and went into the market, they were greeted by a few redeads.
"I thought we killed them already." Link complained.
Navi let out a sigh of frustration.
"Well...maybe it's because they're already dead, idiot! They don't just die that easily!"
"Exuse me for living..." Link groaned.
Link suddenly froze as he realized one of the redeads had caught him. He tried to move, but nothing would budge.
'Just great' He thought unable to speak.
He could see the redead slowly getting closer to his still form.
'Oh...damn.' He squeaked mentally becoming more frightened.
Just before the redead could hook onto him, Navi flew in front of it catching it's attention. Link fell flat on his face as he moved to quickly when the redead's gaze left him. Navi seemed immune from the redead's power as she kept flying around to distract it.
"Thanks Nav'!" Link grabbed his sword swiftly and striked the creature, causing it to fall to the ground in a lifeless heap.
Link looked around and noticed that the other redeads noticed his presence and were coming right at him.
"Just a little closer you blood-suckers..." Link grinned wickedly at how they were falling right into his trap.
Link lifted up his sword then held it behind himself. The master sword was quickly consumed with a blue light. Link was counting to himself at the moment. The sky grew pitch black as the sword continued drawing energy. Link stopped at fifteen then his eyes grew wide as he saw one redead right in his face. He finally released the sword and the redeads became instantly consumed and combusted into mud. Link finally stopped spinning and the brilliant crimson colored flame energy disappeared into the air. The sky was more brighter now even if a few dark ominous clouds still loomed up in the sky. Link breathed deeply then looked up to see that Navi dodged in time.
"Smooth moves vampire slayer!" Navi squeaked cheerfully.
"That's all those things really are, aren't they?" Link asked not usually ever really caring about such a subject.
"Why're you so concerned about that?" Navi tilted slightly in flight.
"Something...something in the back of my mind I think...that's all." Link shrugged.
A dark figure stood in his mind. It was glowing...beautifully. Link stood frozen, just gazing into it's pale golden eyes. The figure caressed his neck gingerly. Then he felt a sharp pain rush through him as if he were truly experiencing it at that moment. He then felt an erotic pleasure move through him.
Link blinked a few times as Navi was flying about him.
"What's with you?" Navi asked curiously.
"Oh...nothing. I'm fine." He smiled.
Navi just shook herself in confusion, "Anyways, I'm just telling you now that I'm going to head over to Lake Hylia to pick something up. I'll try to be quick, so just meet me at the entrance to the graveyard in Kakariko, OK."
"Alright already." Link gently kissed her when she landed onto his hand.
Navi then flew up, "I'll see you then."
"Just be sure you come back in one piece, 'kay Nav'?" Link was feeling uneasy about her going off on her own.
"You just watch yourself. Bye!" Navi sprinted up into the air and disappeared.
Link waved still watching his friend's back, but then jerked a bit. He rubbed his neck softly trying to calm the pain a bit.
"Dang it...maybe I shouldn't have said, if I said anything, whatever it was to Malon." Link softly laughed, feeling a bit better.
***
Epona neighed loudly as Link pulled on her reins to a hault. Link stepped down softly onto the grass, still holding onto her reins. He then tied her reins onto the sign next to the stairs.
"Sorry girl. You gotta stay here until I get back." He explained as he patted her head softly.
Link then ran up the stone stairs until he stopped at the entrance at the very top. He felt a drop of water fall on his nose as he remembered that it was raining up here in the village.
"Great..." He whispered sarcastically as he was already becoming drenched.
Link kept shivering as he walked rubbing his arms trying to stay a bit warm. He stopped as he heard a comotion rising over by the cucco pen. Curious, he began to walk over to check it out.
"That damned monster was here again!" One shouted.
"It's been the third time this has happened!" Another added.
Link peaked around the archery gallery building to see what they were talking about. He could barely make out the figure of the cucco lady standing in the very front of the crowd looking mournful. Many of the other inhabitants of the village had gathered there as well. Link finally walked over and tapped one of the on-lookers shoulders. The person turned and looked at Link.
"Umm...miss could you tell me what's happened?" He asked beginning to blush feeling a bit stupid.
"You haven't heard? Her cucco's are being slaughtered mysteriously every night. There has also been one woman and two men that have gotten serious cases of anemia, just as mysteriously, these past nights." The young woman informed.
"Do you know something, young man?!" An elderly looking fellow accused.
"I just got here right now! So I just barely found out about your troubles!" Link became defensive.
"Just let the boy be, Harow. He's telling the truth. He dosen't know what's going on." Another elderly looking man wearing a blue robe and hat said.
"You'd better be sure. It'll be your own fault if it's discovered that he is the creature killing and making our people ill in disguise." Harow claimed.
"Just what is this creature you keep talking about?" Link finally asked.
"This creature, no monster! It's an evil being that comes every night, many have said that it takes the form of beautiful young woman to lure it's prey to it then kills them. We've all seen that it's victims have had all the blood drained from their bodies. Not one drop left. Many have claimed it to be the legendary Vampyre that only appears in Hyrule when the darkness covers the land inabiling it to walk much easier in plain Hylian view. It could easily stalk about the land and take it's victims then do as it pleases with them. And if you knew what was good for you, lad, you'd leave this village, no, this country to escape this demon that we've been cursed with!"
"You're wrong, Harow!"
Everyone turned to see a young man about Link's age standing near the well.
"Peroin. None of this would have happened if you were a better knight!" Harow disgusted him.
"Do you honestly think that just because I am the last of the Hyrulian Royal Guard, I am supposed to have known all of this was going to happen?!" Peroin clenched both fists with anger.
Link stood as there was silence amongst the crowd. Peroin looked to Link.
"Link?! You shouldn't be here! There's..."
"Yeah. I've already heard." Link interrupted Peroin.
"Don't tell me the residence summonded the almighty Hero of Time to do some exterminating, am I right?" Peroin smiled.
"I actually was coming here anyway and I just spotted the crowd." Link explained.
In the middle of the conversation the cucco lady stepped in front of them, with her hands clasped together as one prays.
"Please Link...no...Hero of Time. Please help us. Could you please destroy whatever monster is plaguing this peaceful village. Please." She pushed her face into Link's chest sobbing quietly.
Link gently placed his arms around her comforting her. She lifted her head up slightly with her eyes and cheeks rosy.
"Shhh...Don't worry. Of course I'll help." Link whispered to her.
"If you're going to do that I should come along." Peroin insisted.
"You've already tried and failed. Why should we depend on your inexperience!" Harow discouraged.
"But..."
Peroin stopped as he felt Link's warm hand touch his shoulder.
"Peroin. I'm not saying that you don't know what you're doing, but I can't let you get involved when I should rightfully be protecting every inch of Hyrule." Link's face was now serious.
Peroin stood staring into Link's bright blue-violet eyes. He scanned the crowd to see Harow gently nod his head. Peroin closed his silvery eyes as he nodded in agreement. He then looked back towards Link.
"Link, destined Hero of Time. I have entrusted you to investigate and destroy whatever creature is terrorizing this tiny village that I have chosen to protect," He knelt on one knee letting his long platinum blond hair fall over his shoulders, "now I am pledging my life on you."
"Don't worry, Peroin, everyone. You can trust your life on me." Link turned and ran off to the graveyard swiftly.
Peroin looked up at his friend as Harow walked next to him.
"He's either very brave and couragous or extremely foolish." Harow stated.
"I can trust him. He always can find a way to get out of the worst spots." Peroin expressed.
"Hope you're right, kid." Harow still felt something bad in the air which also made Peroin feel uneasy.
***
Link cautiously entered the graveyard even now he could feel the chill in the air. Feeling something rush past him, Link turned nervously around to see nothing. He slowly removed his tense hand from the handle of his sword. He entered and noticed something on one of the grave stones. He approached it and discovered it to be Dampe's. He felt sorrowful remembering that his childhood friend was dead in this time. As he inspected his grave, Link saw a small scrap of some kind of paper. He picked it up and read it to himself softly.
"Link. If you find this here, leave right away. You'll die if you stay. It's what she wants." Link couldn't read the rest of it had gotten to soaked in the rain.
"From who?" Link asked himself wishing that Dampe was still alive to tell him.
Link noticed it was growing darker and became more uneasy. Link shivered slightly trying to endure the cold rain.
"Dammit, it's cold." Link tried exusing his language.
Link then felt something unnatural beneath him. He looked down cautiously. He could only feel a small shift like feeling beneath him. Just as sudden, Link back-flipped out towards the walkway near the small wooden fence. He looked foward to indeed see something break from the ground.
"It just has to be a dead-hand dosent it?!" Link was shaking nervously remembering his first encounter with one in the well.
"I think I can recall how to beat one of these." Link twirled his sword out slightly as he planted himself in a stance trying not to look afraid.
Out of no where, four long deformed claws burst out of the ground.
"I almost forgot about the hand part!" Link eeped.
He just barely avoided one of the grossly claws as he rolled out of its reach. Just before he could get the chance to stike the body, it disappeared right back into the earth.
"Damn!" Link cursed himself for being to slow.
As he became too distracted, he never saw the claw behind him coming right towards him. He was suddenly locked in its grasp making it impossible for him to get his sword on the ground. He could just barely see the body rise from the soil again coming to strike. The demon-like head tore away at Link knocking him against the ground. Link began kicking and struggling his hardest to escape since it was the only way to get out. The head kept tearing away at him with his deadly fangs. Link tried struggling harder which only made him weaker.
'Sorry everyone. Guess I didn't keep my promise. What a way to die...' Link thought smiling at his foolishness.
Link fainted after the dead-head ripped into him once more. Before it could deliver the finishing blow, a black light knocked its deformed body near the muddy soil walls. Just before it could attack, another black light blew its head clear off of its body grossly. It feel to the ground and its rotting flesh burned away. Link was just steadily breathing as he opened his eyes, only seeing someone petite run towards him worringly before he closed them weakly.
***
Link opened his eyes slowly and looked around. He felt a pain go through his entire body. He moaned softly in response to its discomfort. He looked around some more. But, he realized he wasn't in the graveyard. Link lifted himself up, but stopped as he felt pain go through him again.
He glanced around the room a bit more. He looked to see that the room was dimly lit with candles. His eyes finally locked on a gold and black figure.
"Link...good to see you awake." She whispered loud enough for him to hear.
Link jolted his upper body from the thin silk sheets.
"Who are you?" He quivered frighteningly.
"Good. Just the way I wanted it..." She sighed.
"Wanted what? Where am I?" He grasped his side and stomach in pain.
"You were lucky I found you when I did." She replied.
Link started rising from the bed slowly. She knew what he was planning.
Just as Link bolted up, she suddenly appeared in front of him. He was filled with shock and tried to break through her, but she shoved him back on the bed. She could see his eyes exposing fear and confusion.
"You didn't answer me," he growled with a slight frightened tone to his voice, "Who are you?!"
She layed on top of his warm body and stroked his cheek softly.
"You've grown quite handsome...just as I expected." She commented.
"Who are you?" Link asked once more.
"Your dark angel, Link." She purred as she leaned in and their noses touched.
"But, who..." He was cut off as she placed her hand over his mouth.
"Oriana. Just Oriana, my hero." She answered softly, leaning in and placing a small kiss on his forehead.
Oriana gazed into his eyes and Link looked back. She leaned towards him and pressed her lips against his. She deeply kissed him and her hand stroked his hips. He couldn't help, but kiss back as his own hand stroked her silky hair. She began to undo his belt when Link grabbed her hand. She lifted her face up, breaking away from the kiss.
"I...I...love another." He replied to her confused golden eyes.
She only gazed at him a bit disappointed and confused.
He tried smiling faintly to reassure her.
"I don't even know you..." He replied again.
He began to rise from her bed.
"I have an important duty to fulfill. Maybe when this is all over, I can get to know you better."
Just, before he could step to get his things and leave, she grasped his arm. He looked to see her eyes becoming watery and pleading.
"Please. Before you have to go...their is one last thing." She begged.
He sat back on the bed and cupped her hands softly.
"What?" He questioned softly, trying to confort her.
She leaned close to his ear as to whisper something.
"You'll become mine. Won't you?" She asked silently.
Link looked down at her a bit confused about her question. She leaned close to his chest frighteningly. Link embraced her softly attempting to comfort her for a reason he couldn't understand. Before he could get up again, he jerked his body when he felt a strong pain come from his neck. He leaned extremely far into the black sheets, begining to feel very weak. He became dizzy and drousy in response to whatever was happening. He could feel his heart suddenly begin to beat slowly and he felt deathly weak. He couldn't move or speak and the pain felt stronger.
He glanced up his vision was blurry. He could barely see Oriana's white face covered with blood on her mouth and chin. She leaned close to Link's ear.
"You're dying. If you want to save Zelda and Hyrule...just do as I say." She whispered.
'How do you know? Who are you really?' He thought since he felt much too weak to speak.
He breathed slowly and struggled with every breath. His heart beated slower every second. He moaned in agony and pain as he could feel death wishing to claim him any second. He looked up to see Oriana placing her wrist in front of him. He could see it bleeding.
"Drink. Please...Link." She moaned softly.
She pressed her bleeding wrist close to his lips. It dripped onto his clothes then into his mouth. He let it drip into his mouth freely. He felt a warm sensation seep through him as he drank more. Soon he grasped her arm weakly, trying to press her wrist closer to his mouth. He sat there sucking at her wrist softly, letting her blood flow into his throat.
She smiled at the sight.
'Everything...it's perfect. Everything.' She thought as she grinned.
Suddenly, Link fell back into the bed breathing heavily. Oriana just looked down at him with a wicked gleam in her eye. His body felt freezing cold and flaming hot all at once. He felt weaker and the pain was rising.
"Death. It's death." She stated to his now pale face.
He writhed in the bed. The burning pain grew more intense with every second. He looked up at her golden eyes which burned through his with an unholy glare. He felt his heart struggling. He couldn't fight death any longer. His heart came to a hault and the Hylian closed his eyes softly, catching the light one last time.
***
Link's eyes felt heavy as he opened them slowly. His head hurt. He placed both of his hands on his head wanting the pain to go away. He peered from behind his fingers to see that he was in the same room. Suddenly, his vision became strange and could see beyond what he saw. He shaked a bit, fearing what he was seeing and experiencing. A strange urge shot through his body. He felt a hunger for something unnatural... he became nervous.
Something was wrong. His heart was beating, but it felt unnatural. He wasn't breathing. He thought he was only imagining it, since he saw his chest heave, but could feel that no air was circulating through his lungs. Strangely, this wasn't affecting him being conscious.
"Oh...Farore. Is this...? Am I... am I dead?" He whispered as his voice was broken.
"No, just undead."
Link removed his hands from his head to see Oriana standing in the corner of the room. He could see a bright golden aura around her. He was mesmerized by her beauty. He saw her completely different from before. She was like an angel. He tried pushing that aside, still wondering why he visioned this way.
"You..." He growled.
Suddely, he cupped one of his ears. His own voice sounded like thunder. He could hear all the tones and pitches perfectly. It was painfully loud.
"I'm guessing you're addressing me?" She smiled in an eerie way.
"What'd you do to me?" He questioned with a hateful look on his face.
"Not much. Just brought you into the darkness." She grinned.
"What?" He asked confused, but in an angry tone.
"I thought you could have guessed it on your own." She suddenly appeared leaning towards his face. "You're a vampire, kid. Just as I am."
Link just stared at her with a confused look over his now ghostly white face.
"Damn you..." He hissed.
"Too late." She smirked as she turned her back towards him.
"I'd watch out for sunlight if I were you. Besides never walking in daylight ever again... nothing can touch you. Immortality is so sweet...you'll soon see what I mean." She informed grinning.
"I don't need your help." He stated coldly.
Just as he motioned to get up, she shoved her hand roughly down onto his chest holding him firmly in place.
"But of course you do... " She corrected.
She immediantly forced herself on top of him. Fortunatly for Link, he threw her off easily, which she wasn't ready for. She hit the wall rather hard. He only got off of the bed and went to get his sword, but she suddenly blocked his path.
"I don't think so." She smiled triumpantly.
She shoved him back onto the bed. He struggled to get her off, but she was pushing hard against him this time. She undid his tunic and tossed it aside. In no time, she stripped him of everything and he lay with only her covering him. She easily slid off her dark dress and their bare bodies touched one another.
"Bitch!" Link growled.
"I've known that for centuries." Oriana grinned wickedly.
Link struggled desperately to get away from her, but she held him down firmly. She kissed him deeply and began kissing his throat. He couldn't help fighting the pleasure and was slowly giving in. Both of them were begining to sweat, but Link was panting, even though not one breathe came out.
Oriana stroked his muscular back and shoulders and continued kissing him all over. Her nails dug into his skin slightly as she explored his body. Link was still breathing heavily, as she probed his penis. She grinned wickedly, then thrusted hard into him. He gasped as he felt a stinging sensation go through him. She only snickered in a low, evil tone as she began thrusting harder. Link could only let out a small tear in response to the pain.
The pain shot through him harder than anything he'd ever expeienced. But what scared him the most was that he began loving the pleasure and sensation following the pain. He became trapped in their intercourse and pleasure, but wanting it to stop. He wanted to cry again, but couldn't.
Link suddenly felt a thought run through his mind. Zelda and himself sitting in the courtyard telling each other stories. They were playing in the small patch of flowers and Zelda was speaking to him.
"When we defeat Ganondorf and save the kingdom... I want you to come and live in the castle. Here with me." Zelda proclaimed.
"Wow! But...I want to be with my friends in the forest." Link commented.
"Please! I really want someone to talk to. I'm always alone and by myself. You're the best thing that's ever happened to me." She pleaded.
"You never told me that before." He replied.
"Well...I really never meant to, but can't you? Your friends will be safe because Ganondorf will be gone." She begged.
"I can't...I'm sorry." Link apologized as he arose from the patch of flowers.
"I should go now before the guards catch me here with you." He informed.
Link walked towards the large entrance of the courtyard. He stopped when he saw Impa already waiting for him. Before he left with her, he turned around and faced Zelda who was still sitting in place.
"When I save Hyrule, maybe I could visit more often, but now I have an important task to complete." Link smiled reassuring.
Impa placed her hand on Link's shoulder, which made him look up at her.
"Come Link...I'll lead you out." She said in her low husky voice.
"Alright," Link turned away from Zelda, but stopped, "Zelda..."
Zelda lifted herself up and looked towards him a desperate glance.
"I think you're the best thing that's happened to me, too." He said as he and Impa disappeared through the entrance.
As he was walking, he could tell Zelda must be upset in some way, because he refused her offer. He felt alone and empty again.
He was only a child, but he always felt a comforting warmth when he went to see her. He wanted her warmth back. Just hers...
"Zelda..." He whispered softly.
Oriana looked down at him hearing his word. His eyes were now foggy with passion, but something was wrong with his expression now. He wasn't paying attention to what was happening, but something else seemed to distract him. She became upset, hating not knowing what was disturbing him.
Something clicked inside him. Link blinked and suddenly threw Oriana, hard against one of the walls where the candles stood. It knocked over and trailed onto the black curtains on the wall. They were ignited and Link jumped up while he still could and gathered up his equipment and clothes and ran out of the chamber. The flames grew brighter and fierce as the entire chamber was engulfed. Before it completely burned down to ashes, a figure stepped into view inside the fire.
"Think you've really escaped me don't you, elf boy?" She hissed as she walked out of the flaming chamber in another dress, but white.
--------------------
(Author's notes: I hope this version of the story doesn't confuse people like the last one did. I hope this is better. Everything is the same except the prologue was changed A LOT. Peroin's mine, so no one use him! ):) Harow's an optional guy (I mean he only showed up once and well that's it for him!) Rheju, again, is mine even though Link doesn't call her that 'cause he doesn't know that yet. Thanks again!)
