The sky had grown dark by the time Dark Link had left the forest. Dark Link ran through the fields as fast as Epona could carry him. 'Hey, you!" He yelled at a tall man, who was riding a black horse.

"Why are you in such a hurry to the castle?" Dark Link then whirled Epona around, so that she was blocking the man's path.

To Dark Link's astonishment, the black horse leapt up and over Epona, but Dark Link gripped on to the man's coat.

"Get off, boy, you have no idea what you're up against!"

The man thrashed out at Dark Link.

"I will kill you, vampire!"

The man looked down.

" I see you failed the assassination!"

With that, the man tore off his overcoat, revealing a man of about 5 foot ten, with pale complexion, and a top hat.

Razfile bared his teeth at Dark Link.

"Aaaargh!"

Just as Razfile went to lunge for Dark Link, Dark Link spun underneath the horse, so that Razfile went sailing over Dark Link's head.

But, as Razfile fell to the ground, he rolled, and disappeared beneath the earth.

Dark Link kept staring at the spot where Razfile vanished, until the horse reared his head, sending Dark Link sailing.

When he awoke, he was back in the Dark Forest, looking up at Yue.

"What happened, did you.Finish off.Blaftite?"

Dark Link shook his head, then began to speak.

"It wasn't Blaftite.it was a vampire."

Yue gapped at him. "Those haven't existed in centuries!"

"WELL THEY DO NOW!"

Yue stood to her full height, and tried to brush off Dark Link's tone.

Dark Link stood up as well, and continued, never lowering his voice.

"I chased him down in the field, and I think I killed him."

Yue had been staring at her feet, but now she looked up.

"I hear doubt in your voice, Dark."

Dark Link walked up very close to Yue, so that he could smell her mint leaf breath.

"I killed him"

Dark Link swiftly turned around, and stormed away, leaving Yue to stand, and look on in pain.

~~~ At the castle ~~~

Link was outside of the magnificent Hyrule castle, sword in hand, and a fire in his belly. While he hadn't fought for several years, war lust always panged at his senses, and clouded his thought.

As he awaited his enemies' next move, he heard a rustling.

Then a twig snapping.

"Show yourself!" He demanded.

Just then, from behind Link, a shadowy figure pounced upon him, knocking his word from his hand. "Argh!" He yelled as he tried to wrestle himself free, however he soon found himself pinned on the floor. His confusion was peeked by a high giggling coming from overhead.

"What a mighty fine warrior you turned out to be!" Zelda's shinning face appeared from behind a hood. "Gerroff Zel, I nearly had your guts for garters!" Zelda gaffed, and smacked him on his head, " I'm sure you did, you great fibber, you!"

Link stood up, brushed himself off, and without warning, scooped Zelda up in his arms.

Dark Link awkwardly stepped forward. "Um.I don't mean to interrupt. Uh. Link's princely duties, if you will, but there is something terrible about these parts."

Zelda came down from Link's embrace and walked up to Dark Link. "What is the matter?"

Dark link swallowed hard. Not wanting to upset Zelda. "Blaftite. Is not dead-" Zelda reeled back in terror, her hands covering her mouth. "NO! You're lying! You're a filthy, sick bastard of a liar!" Link tried to console her, but she would have none of it. "No! It CAN'T be!" Dark Link continued. "But Blaftite is not the worst of your troubles. His son, Razfile, I think he wants to one up his father, by killing you two. and your baby boys." Zelda just stood there, trembling. Link walked over to Dark Link, and struck him so hard in the stomach, Dark Link doubled over in pain. "How dare you bring these lies upon my house!" Dark Link could not contain himself, and he lunged at Link. He began to take his former being. Dark Link's eyes glowed purple; his frame began to shrink into a ghostly, skeletal figure. "I tell you no lies! How are dare you strike your brother! Your blood is my blood, Link!" He toppled Link over, and savagely beat him. Link tried covering his face, but found no shelter from Dark Link's hellashis blows. Final, he reached his sword, and smashed Dark Link's face with the flat of his blade, sending him flying. Before Dark Link could get back up, the sentries had grabbed him.

Link stood up, cradling a broken rib. "You are not my family.You are not my brother. You are just a copy! You are everything that was filthy in me, incarnated into vile flesh! I spit on you, and your lies!"

Dark Link turned back into himself, and slumped in sorrow as the guards dragged him away.
