I'm here again. I made myself some time by writing this really fast, so excuse me for any typing errors. I wanted to read a few fics, because "All writing no reading makes DMC a dull author." Okay, before I start babbling again, I'll move on.
Thanks for the feedback! I enjoy answering it, so do as many questions as you wish!
J5BO: Yeah, Link did it. It's not fair to Roy, but he can't go walking around as a vampire now, can he? Great that you want to read more to see what happens, I'm very flattered to hear that!
The Zora: Poor, poor Roy. You didn't believe he'd be able to? A-ha! You must believe from now on! Anything is possible when I'm the writer!
Mewlon: Me? Uh, I've been just fine, I guess. You? Yeah, that… Trodgor flamed me, thinks I'm retarded, but I'm fine with it (I'm not sure are the retards fine with it though…) What did he say to you? Poor baby boy, Roy… (Roy: "WHAT!?") But how else could've the vampires been killed? Link didn't have a choice. Ah, you're right about Vincent! He's absolutely the best in every single way.
Sagesumi: YIKES! Uh, I mean, uh… yeah. I wish it was a big joke, I would have so much fun, but my imagination doesn't have a sense of humour. I know it's poor Roy, but why poor Marth? And, before you cry, read this final part of this episode. I'll try to make the next episode a little less sad. And in the next episode (I promised, I remember!) I'll reward your patient waiting by revealing who Young Link has a crush on.
Some people never listen… Yo momma, I'm sorry to remove your review, but I don't want people reviewing me instead of my story. I can be a… sick burrito (suddenly I'm feeling hungry…), but please, review only the story. I'm just some person who always writes this weird stuff in the beginning, don't pay attention to me too much, okay? Thanks! I knew you'd understand!
I don't think I ever said I'm writing lemon. If I ever said that, I didn't mean it. The rating would be R if this were lemon. This is only yaoi, Roy/Link. And like I said before, I'm a very evil person because I write these files for my own delight. Sorry.
Please review! (But don't tell me about the crappy ending, I know it already!)
--- (finally)
Link lifted the boy's arms to hold the stick to make it look like a suicide, he didn't want to be sued for killing a general. He held the emotionless face in his hands, waiting for Roy to open his eyes and smile and say that it was just a joke. The Hylian caressed his hair, feeling the crushing pain inside him. It was such a powerful feeling he cried in agony, whispering comforting words to the dead general.
His mind knew the boy was dead, but his heart didn't want to believe it. It fought against the reality furiously, denying the death of the one Link loved the most. It brought images of their happy moments to the blonde's mind, making the moment even harder to handle for him. The worst thing was that he had killed him. Roy was dead because of him.
Link fell on his knees on the floor, sobbing in a shock. He hugged the general's limp leg, trying to feel a heart beat. There was none.
---
He fell asleep, tears rolling down his cheeks and moistening the boy's leg. In his subconscious, he hoped that if the general wouldn't wake up with him, he wouldn't want to wake up at all.
Link woke up when he heard how something was pulled out of something. He held the leg even tighter, trying to fall asleep again and leave this world of nightmares for a little longer.
He was on the verge of falling asleep when the general's leg moved and he heard a groan. He thought his mind was just doing tricks as he stared blankly in front of him. The elf caressed Roy's leg, assuring to the boy that everything was going to be all right.
When the redhead's leg moved again the Hylian lifted his head to see into the redhead's red eyes and gasped. It wasn't possible! He was dead just a second ago!
"The heart is on the other side." Roy said derisively and fell on his knees in front of Link, looking at him seductively, his fingers playing in the bloody wound the blonde had caused.
"This… can't be!"
"I knew you couldn't kill me. But I… I can kill Roy." The general caressed the Hero's cheek with his bloody fingers, drawing red circles on them. He put his finger under Link's chin, pulling him closer to a kiss.
"Roy! Roy! Live!" The Hylian shook the Fire Emblem warrior from his shoulders, trying to find out was the boy still dead.
"Give in. He's gone." The redhead pulled him close, finally getting the kiss he wanted. It was good for him that the Hylian had been crushed, he would get his prey a lot easier now. But, no, the boy was trying to come out again, more furiously than ever before. Roy pulled away, looking at his beloved with a fretful face.
"I still haven't given up. I… I believe you now… I bit Pichu…. I… I remember it." The general fell on his arms, breathing heavily. "But if this… bleeding won't stop...."
"I'm so glad I missed your heart!" Link pressed the boy against him, this time tears of joy in his eyes. "I'll go get Dr. Mario, he'll dress that wound!"
"I want to get rid of this damn… creature…" Roy lied on his back on the floor, pressing his wound to reduce the amount of bleeding. He wanted to be strong, he would survive.
Dr. Mario rushed to his room, carrying a first aid kit.
"What-a on earth has happened here?"
"I stabbed myself… with this stick…" Roy showed the stick Link had plunged through his chest.
"Why on a-earth?" The short plumber ran to him and helped him on the bed on his back.
"I… don't know. Where… Where's… Link?"
"He left. Didn't say where or why, he just disappeared." The white-coated man said, cleaning the wound and trying to find out was there anything broken inside him. Roy groaned in the pain as the doctor bound up his wound very carefully.
"Here, I think you'll need some painkillers." Dr. Mario gave him a few capsules and he drank them with lots of water, hoping that they would soon take the pain away.
As the redheaded boy fell asleep because of the sleeping pills the plumber's brother had given him, Dr. Mario put an internal feeding on him, sighing in a relief. He was glad that youngsters these days couldn't even stab themselves so that they would pierce their heart or lungs. The boy had been very lucky to miss them. The broken bones and blood vessels would heal by time.
When Roy woke up, his red eyes glared at the doctor furiously.
"Where's Link?"
"I-a don't know. You should really sleep-a."
"I don't need sleep. I need my prey!" The vampire's voice was furious. It had realised that it could lose.
"Shh… Sleep-a now."
The boy fought against himself, trying to make the vampire go away. Dr. Mario looked at him as he grimaced and hissed quietly like he had some kind of a double personality. The short brunette started to get an anaesthetic and tranquillisers from his bag, getting ready to put the redhead to sleep against his will.
"Will… I survive?" Roy asked, really fighting for his life.
"Yes, you-a missed your heart and lungs. You pierced only some blood-a vessels and they'll heal. You just need-a some rest." The doctor gave him the injection, still doubting should he give the general the tranquillisers.
"Can you tell me… when Link comes back?" Roy said, already half-asleep.
"Of course I-a can." Dr. Mario wiped the hair from the boy's face as he drifted to sleep.

"Faster!" Link commanded Epona. "Faster!"
The poor horse galloped foam coming from its mouth. Its shiny red hair was covered in sweat.
"Last a little longer, Epona!" The Hylian Hero encouraged his horse to move faster.
I hope Roy'll hold on to his life long enough… That damn vampire lied to me!
Link climbed down from Epona and ran the stairs to the village. In the end of them he had to stop to catch his breath. He saw Impa from the corner of his eye coming towards him.
"What brings you here, Link?" She said with motherly warmth.
"A bottle."
"A bottle?" Impa sounded surprised. "It must be a very special bottle."
"A bottle of life and death." The Hero of Time started towards the well, still breathing a little heavy.
The well is the only place where I didn't search for him back then.
"What!? Don't tell me Zelda's in trouble!" The princess's nanny said her eyes wide.
"No, Zelda's fine." You always think she's in trouble when something happens. "It's a friend of mine."
"It must be someone very special then."
"Very, very special." Link jumped to the well, remembering how he'd been there before, ridding the village from the curse of the black smoke. The air was fusty, the walls were covered in something slimy. He hadn't liked the place back then, he still didn't like it. Now he'd need to find the bottle and fast.
The Hero of Time trotted down the narrow corridor, holding the Master Sword in his hand, ready to fight anyone. He had met only few foes so far and they'd been very easy to kill. But no sign of the bottle. He had no idea what it would look like. Was it big? Decorated?
He came to a room with compost ground. Link looked around with a confused expression. There was nothing that could be cultured in darkness and air like that, so why the compost ground? He walked around, waiting for a foe to come out of it's hiding place.
He turned around as he heard something coming out of the ground. It was a hand, holding an old-looking bottle.
Is that the bottle of the Oniwega?
The blonde waited for something to happen, but nothing did. A deep silence had descended upon the room. The only sound was the Hylian's breathing.
After a while Link took a step closer to the hand. When he finally reached the hand and took the bottle, still in fighter stance, a zombie burrowed from the ground and started walking towards him. It's empty eyes met with the cerulean's of the elf, making him unable to move. Its scream chilled Link's heart.
The Hero tried not to look into the darkness of the zombie's eyes, but he couldn't take his eyes off them. It felt like the whole world would've stopped, only the zombie moved.
Roy's life depends on me… I can't fail him by dying now! The elf told himself. No matter how hard he tried, his eyes were locked on the living dead's.
I've got to do something!
The zombie's cold arms touched his shoulders. It bit his arm hungrily, trying to rip off a piece of it. Link jumped away from it, finally free from its gaze. He kept his eyes on the ground as he dashed towards it and sliced it in half. He looked at the bottle to make sure he still had it and ran out of the well, hoping that his beloved would last a little longer.
Impa was standing outside the well, probably waiting for him to return.
"You take care of Zelda, okay?" She said with a warm smile.
"Yeah, I will!" Link didn't stop running as he replied.
Epona was waiting outside the village, scratching the ground with her hoof. She neighed as she saw Link. The Hero climbed on her, commanding her to gallop as fast as she could through the vast field of Hyrule to the Smash Building.
When he arrived, he ran to his room without even greeting the smashers in the living room. They looked at him in a great surprise, wondering why the elf was in such a hurry.
He opened the door in a hurry and froze, finding Roy holding Dr. Mario in his hands. The general turned to look at him furiously, but as he realised who the elf was, he smiled seductively, showing his white teeth.
"I was getting tired of waiting for you, Link." He said, dropping the limp doctor on the bloody floor.
"Roy!" The elf ran to the boy, showing the bottle. "I brought this! You've got to make it go away!"
"Ahh… My bottle… This saved my life… I couldn't ask for cover back then, because I can't go to houses without being invited…" The redhead hugged it like it was a dear friend.
"Roy! Fight! Please!" The Hylian said desperately.
"I'm trying to…!" Roy's weak voice said and the creature's eyes flashed blue. "It's a pity that he'll never heal… I've already almost killed him. Just give up… it'll be the best for the both of you."
"Fight, Roy!"
"Go… away!" The boy backed away and sat on his bed, using all his energy to make the creature go away. "I command you… to go… AWAY!!"
A red breath came from his mouth and went to the bottle as Roy collapsed on the bed. More red fog came through the doorway to the room and went to the bottle. When it had all gone, Link took the stopper from his pocket and closed it. He heaved a deep sigh, sitting down next to the boy.
"It's over now… All over now."
---
The next day Link took the bottle back to the well where it had come from and asked Impa to seal the well. He returned to the Smash Building, feeling comfortable for the first time in many days. His only worry was still the prince. He had avoided answering Link's questions and what made him worry a lot was the way he'd said that the Hylian shouldn't worry.
The elven Hero remembered how Roy had come to him, asking for his pardon and knew that he didn't need to worry. The general wouldn't leave him.
"Hey, Link!"
"What?" Link turned around to meet with his mini. "Oh, hi, Mini-me."
"I'd need to talk to you again… can you come to the garden with me?" The small elf was back to normal, his cerulean eyes shined with life and his hair was as blonde as ever. Link smiled a wide smile as he followed his tinier self to the garden.
They sat down on a bench far away from the Smash Building. Young Link looked around to make sure no one could hear them and started:
"I told her…"
"And?" Link raised his eyebrows.
"I don't think she heard me."
"Why not?"
"We were fighting and he… she! was concentrating very hard."
You truly confuse me, Mini.
"You should try again. Send her flowers or something. I'm sure she'd be more than happy to get them." The Hylian muddled Young Link's hair playfully.
"No! Don't!" The boy laughed. When his older self stopped, he became serious and was quiet for a while. "I… I will. I remember what you said about being rejected… and you're right. It's worse now that I don't know his--her feelings towards me."
"Good luck then, Mini!" The Hero stood up. "I'm going to go to see how Roy's doing, want to come?"
"Yeah!" They left the garden, the small elf still having a puzzled expression. "Do you know why Roy stabbed himself? Why did he want to die?"
"I think he was just stressed. There's nothing you should be worried about."
"He'll be fine?"
"Of course he will. He's strong." Link said as they entered the Smash Building.
"Yeah." Young Link smiled, happy with the explanation his bigger self had given.
Roy had been taken to his own bed so that Link could sleep in his own room. The boy was looking outside through his window when the two Hylians came in, both greeting him cheerfully.
"How are you?" The blonde sat down on the edge of the bed, slipping his fingers between the general's to hold his hand.
"I'm fine. Did you take the bottle back to the well?"
"Yeah, and I asked Impa to seal it. That way no one will ever be possessed by that thing anymore."
"Good."
"Hey, Roy, if you want something to do, I have playing cards! I can play with you!" Young Link said in his cheerful way as he sat on the other edge of the bed.
"Thanks, but maybe later. Right now I'm a bit tired." The redhead smiled. His colour had come back to his face, his red hair was as red as always, his teeth normal. And his blue sapphires shined with the flame inside him.
"You believe now, don't you?" Link said, poorly hiding his excitement.
"I don't think so. I'm just being realistic. This time an open mind saved my life."
"Believe in what?" The small elf looked at the both of them with a surprised expression.
"In all kinds of supernatural things like evil spirits and goblins." Roy explained, rolling his eyes inquiringly. Young Link gave him a short laugh, not really being sure did they exist or not.
They do exist. One day you'll both believe. The Hero of Time thought.
"However, I'm glad that you're going to be fine, Roy." Link said, squeezing the boy's hand.
---
Before sealing the well, the villagers wanted to make sure that there was no one in there. A boy named Aref had once fallen into it and they'd found his corpse when taking water from it. They wanted to be absolutely sure that there was no one down there, a death in such a dark and evil place would be horrifying. Aref's sister, Anju, had sent to inspect the well.
She walked to the room with the compost soil and found the bottle on its place. Anju walked to it, feeling glad that she'd found such a pretty bottle in an old ugly well like that. When she touched it, the stopper popped off and a lovely scent filled the room.
"Let me take you to seventh heaven…" The spirit said as it came from it and the girl breathed its seductive scent. When she collapsed on the floor, the creature embedded its sharp teeth into her neck smiling mischievously.
"One day I will get my prey…"

Over. Yep, totally over and done. I think this became better than I'd thought, but it's still not as good as the first episode. Well, the next episode will be a lot different from this. If you've been attentive, I think you already know what it's going to be about… But I hope you don't! Please tell me what you think about my files so far!
