Borrowed Time

Chapter two!

Breathe No More By Evanescence!

Dancing away

There are legends

And all that fun stuff.

A clean grave

An unmarked headstone

But all may be undone

She has eyes

And she has nervses

She has ears

She has teeth

They'll all get what they deservses

When she comes from underneath

MWAHAHAHAHAHAA!

So there.

Borrowed Time

Invitation to a Dance

I've been looking in the mirror for so long.

Sheik appeared at Link's door around noon. Entering, he found Link staring off into space, like he had misplaced his soul and was in a persistent vegetative state. Sheik waved his hand in front of the distant blue eyes. There was no reaction. Sheik sighed and resorted to smacking the hero on the back of the head. As usual, it worked.

That I've come to believe my soul's on the other side.
Oh the little pieces falling, shatter.

"I'm okay!" Link said, blinking a bit.

"You lie. Anyways…I found things you might find interesting." Sheik said, pulling up a chair.

"Enlighten me."

Shards of me,
To sharp to put back together.

"It's a long story." Sheik said.

"I'm ready."

"Alright. The dancing, cat-eared woman you saw is known as Areylyn. Some say that she is the ghost of the Nekoi race, the cat-people who used to live on the distant shores of Lake Hylia. They were a peaceful race, and aided Hyrule in the past..."

To small to matter,

"I'm sensing a 'but' coming." Link said. Sheik nodded.

But big enough to cut me into so many little pieces.

"The king, Zelda's great great grandfather, distrusted them. He spread lies and rumors. He said that their kindness was a curtain. He said that they were planning to invade and enslave the entire Hylian race."

"What about the Goddesses? Didn't they sense distrust?" Link asked.

If I try to touch her,
And I bleed,

"Apparently, the night before Hyrule's invasion, Hylians prayed to the Goddesses to help them destroy the Nekoi. The Nekoi, not sensing anything amiss, prayed to the Goddesses to protect both races."

"What bullshit."

I bleed,
And I breathe,

"The Goddesses favored Hyrule. According to texts, the entire Nekoi race was wiped out. Areylyn appeared a few years later, dancing on the graves."

I breathe no more.

"I now feel ashamed to be me." Link said.

"I don't know anything about Areylyn herself, there aren't enough legends." Sheik said.

Take a breath and I try to draw from my spirits well.

They both jumped at the sound of a bell. Link drew the Master Sword and Sheik readied throwing knives. They stood back to back, eyes tracing around the room for the sound of the bell. Silence was heard. Link's blue eyes fell on a black cat sitting near the door. It wore a bell, and was carrying a white envelope.

Yet again you refuse to drink like a stubborn child

The two relaxed and put away their weapons. They sat down, eyes watching the cat. It walked over and jumped onto Link's lap. It handed him the letter and waited patiently. Link looked at Sheik and shrugged. Link examined the envelope. It was as white as snow. Link's name was written in elegant calligraphy, and there was a strange seal on the back.

Lie to me,
Convince me that I've been sick forever.

Link opened the envelope and looked at the letter. The color drained from his face once he read it. Sheik took the letter and read it aloud.

" 'You are invited to a moonlight dance. It will be at midnight tomorrow in the Kakariko Graveyard. Please come by yourself, though I am aware that your Sheikah friend will want to come as well. Please respond before sunset. I will be waiting.' Signed by 'Areylyn'. Well…what are you going to do?" Sheik asked.

And all of this,
Will make sense when I get better.

"I'll go." Once that was said, the cat hopped off of Link's lap and out a window.

"I think you're crazy. For all you know, she'll torture you and then drain you of your blood." Sheik said.

I know the difference,
Between myself and my reflection.

Link smiled like a Cheshire cat.

I just can't help but to wonder,
Which of us do you love.

"I can't turn down a lady like that. She sent me a formal invitation."

"What are you going to wear?"

"My normal clothes."

"Sword and shield included?"

"Yes.

So I bleed,
I bleed,

Link got nervous after Sheik left. He had a date with a chick who should be dead. What if she wasn't dead? And then again…

And I breathe,
I breathe,

What if she was…?

I breathe-
I breathe no more.
