The Evil Within; Party Night Pt. 1

A/n: Sorry about the wait....

Disclaimer: Oh, yeah sure, I own Zelda. Phhhff. Yeah right.

~~~~*Early Morn on the day of the party*~~~~~


In Zelda's room we see the Princess brushing her blond hair in front of her vanity mirror.

(I wonder if Links alright? Saria said he was acting strange when she talked to him yesterday.)

"Ow." Zelda said, coming to a particularly stubborn tangle.

"Don't hurt yourself, Princess." A vaguely familiar voice said.

"Who? Link?" (No, Link's voice has a different accent then that. And that means it can be only one person with the same accent.) "Dark Link..."

"Uh huh. In person, well kind of."

"Where are you? I don't see you?"

"I'll answer that with a riddle." Dark Link mused. "My skin is cold, my eyes reflect. My blood is sharp, my motion is yours. What am I?"

".... My mirror."

"Right on the nail, Princess. Now that I've had my fun, on to some serious matters. Link he...he's done something that will endanger all three of us, himself, you, and me."

"What has he done that is so wrong?"

"Not even the Goddesses know that. He has something that is blocking the Goddesses Will from reaching him. It seems to be a ring of some sort."

"Where could have Link gotten such a powerful artifact?" Inquired Zelda.

"I'm working on that. Don't rush me."

"Just one more thing. Saria said that Link acting strange yesterday." Zelda said. "And why are you helping me?"

Dark Link smiled. "The only thing Ganondorf did was call up a clone with a personality the opposite of Link's. To tell the truth, I couldn't stand Ganondorf. And that's why I was locked up in that damned temple." And with that, he faded into nothingness.

"Hmm. Strange."

~~~~~Later that evening, outside the castle, on the roof of the Bazaar~~~~

Link is standing alone on the roof. He is now wearing a ring on his finger. Link raises his hand up and looks at the flame red ring.

"Great power..." He whispered, his mind in an event that had happened earlier that day.

~~~Flashback~~~

"Here. Have this." The red-eyed Link said, throwing a ring through the glass of the mirror.

"What's this? I don't wear jewelry, so this is useless to me." Link frowned.

"That is not just any jewelry, that, dear Link, is the ring of Din. It gives amazing power to anyone who wears it. Put it on."

Link turned the artifact over in his fingers, feeling the cold metal sent shivers down his spine. As he put the ring on, he heard someone whisper.

".....Everything has a price..."

"What?" Link asked, turning to look at his darker self, who wore a frown. After a second, the mirror's smug smile returned.

"Well. You going to put it on or what?"

Link gave him a sideways glance as he slides the ring onto his middle finger and cringed as he felt a great dark power flow into him.

~~~End of Flashback~~~

"Yeah, some power. I can't even take the Damned thing off." Link looked up at the sun, which was setting. "Almost Party Night."

~~~That Night, in the Castle~~~

"What a room to have a party in. Mirrors everywhere." Ruto mused

"It is called a mirror room. Something about only wealthy people have one." Darunia said.

"Ahem. Her Highness Zelda." Introduced Impa as there was a knock on the entrance to the room and Link walked in.

"Link" Zelda waked down the steps. "You came. I'm glad." And she held out her hand to Link. He walked over and took it up to his lips and kissed it.

"Zelda" Link's eyes squinted. "I have a surprise for you." He led Zelda to the middle of the room.

"And what might that be?" She came to a stop.

Link leaned close to her ear, and said "I'm going to kill you." Zelda's eyes filled with fear as Link drew his sword.

"Link, what are you doing?" Hissed Nabooru

"Now, what does it look like I'm getting my revenge." He mused, as everyone came closer. "No, we can't have that can we?" Link tapped his sword on the ground, causing a barrier wall to come up, blocking everyone else out, and not noticing the shadow moving behind him.

Zelda's eyes shifted to behind Link, and he turned, following her gaze

"What....? How did you get here?"

Dark Link's only response was to take his index finger and point it at Link's forehead.

"Boom..." Dark Link said.

"What the Hell?" Link whispered as he flew backwards, cracking the mirror he landed on, causing the force field to flicker out.

"What did you do to him?" Zelda asked. Dark Link burrowed his brow.

"I didn't do anything. I was just trying to scare him."

"Then what sent him flying?" Impa said coming up next to Zelda. Everyone's attention turned to the mirror cracking, the glass mixing with Link's blood, and the evil laugh that followed sent chills down everyone's spine...








A/N: Humph. I didn't really like how this came out for some reason. I'm hoping for a sad chapter next.
