Chapter 9

Betrayal…

The forest basked in silence…Only a few crickets chirped in song…Alexis lay awake, she felt slightly depressed…Even after she had gotten through to him…She knew he didn't fully love her…His heart still belonged to his dead girlfriend…Why was fate so cruel? She stared up the ceiling from where she lay, trying to find a sign…Anything…

"Hey!" a sharp whispery voice cut across her hearing.

She froze in shock, "Who's there?" she whispered back, shooting up.

To her amazement, a shadow emerged from the darkest shadows into the moonlight…Only this was no true shadow…It had a complexion…Detail…Deep red eyes that burned with a fiery hatred…It looked a lot like…Link? She couldn't make out everything on him, which was not good. The shadow held a sword ready to strike which she was unable to see as he kept it blended with the darkness.

"Hello Alexis." He said, his voice like the cold hissing of a venomous snake on the verge of ensnaring its prey.

"Are you---Link?" she asked. "Or who-who are you?"

"Let's just say I'm an old friend…" he smiled cruelly.

He was scaring her, evil vibes radiated from his person, echoing throughout her body, "What do y-you w-want?" she stuttered.

"I want to help you." He said coolly.

"Help me? With what?" she asked shakily, trying to hide her fear but so far sucking that up.

"With your love problem." He smirked.

"What are you, some kind of 'love doctor'? My personal life is none of your concern so why don't you butt off?" she growled.

"Uh-huh." He continued to smirk. "All you have to do is give me his ocarina; I know a song that will make him fall deep and hard for you, no matter what his troubles are…"

"But he does love me…He even said so…He just can't get over…her…"

"I know a song that has magic powers that will make him all yours. All you have to do is give me his ocarina…"

"You mean that blue instrument thing, right?" she bit her lip, she knew she shouldn't trust him, but her love blinded her…All she wanted was Link to fully love her…All she wanted was to dominate his heart…be the one he adored and loved most…

"Yes." There went that creepy infernal hissing thing of his again.

She shuddered and stood…Her mind screamed no in such agony, but she ignored it,she allowed her heart to win. She silently walked to Link's still form on the other side of the room, past Gina and knelt by his side. Now where would he put it?

His hand was curled around something…It was the ocarina! She gently pried his fingers off it and took it, but froze when a soft moan escaped his lips. When he didn't show any more signs of a disturbed sleep, she crept back to where the shadow form of him waited with his hand outstretched.

She cautiously placed it in his palm and her fingers accidentally brushed against his flesh, a powerful shock surged through her and she staggered backwards, bumping into the table. Both went down with a loud crash.

"Shoot! You stupid girl!" The shadow growled.

Link was awake and alert once the crash came and he grabbed his sword and turned upa lamp which cast light over the room. When he saw Dark Link, he stood there with an icy glare pasted on his face.

"Well well well." Dark Link's face was grim. "What do we have here? Oh right, my counter part who ruined me at the Water Temple!" he tossed the ocarina up in the air mockingly and then caught it.

"How did you---" Link's eyes were big with shock.

"Your lil girlfriend gave it to me, all so willingly too." Dark Link's eyes danced with laughter.

Link was hurt, it was so obvious…Tears rose to Alexis' eyes, "You freakin' retard! You tricked me! You liar!" she screamed downcast.

"Well I'm evil so what's a lie to me?" Dark Link questioned teasingly.

Gina had awoken to the racket and she sat on her bed, watching all that went on before her drowsily and totally confused.

"Alexis…How…could…you…" Link spoke softly not even looking at her, he felt so betrayed.

"Wish I could stay and talk, but I have a triforce to go get, oh and Link? Haha you are such a dim witted fool, giving the spiritual stones back to the ones who gave them to you, those who possessed them were weak and I easily attained them. Have fun while ya can, next time I see you, you'll be stone dead." Dark Link vanished in a screen of smoke.

Link kicked the wall hard…and his foot broke through…he grunted in anger and turned and laid back down facing away from Alexis, there was no way to beat Dark Link to the Temple of Time, now that he could no longer use the ocarina to warp...

What had she done? The triforce…the power of the goddesses…whatever she had done by giving that guy that instrument thing…she had never heard of any ways to get the triforce, only knew tales of it…how was he going to get it? He seemed so confident…She lay down sobbing, her body shook violently. Now Link probably hated her…in her hopes to lock herself within his heart…she had only made things worse…

Gina knew nothing of what to say so she only did as they did and lay down to go to sleep.
