Borrowed Time
Moonlight dancing
We can dance with Areylyn
Well…not us…
A dance of illusion
And visions, memories
The song this chapter is…
Save Me by Jem
Go listen to the song…
It's good.
It's on her Finally Woken CD
(thanks her friend Nile for letting her borrow CD)
Anyways…there will be allusions to my other works and to SC2
There will be at least ten chapters to this fic.

Borrowed Time
Dancing Away the Moonlight
Save me
Link looked up at the almost full moon overhead. He sighed and looked around. The graveyard was silent. No signs of Areylyn. He rubbed his hands together to keep himself warm. Cautiously, he removed his gauntlet and looked at the Triforce scar. It looked darker, almost red. He covered it again and refused to think about it.
Save me
Save me
"Shall we?" a voice asked.
I've gotta stop my mind
Link turned to see Areylyn kneeling on the great grave behind him. She extended her hand. Link took it and hopped up onto the grave. He removed his sword and shield, keeping one eye cautiously on Areylyn.
"No need to be so cautious, but you wouldn't know anything about relaxing…considering all that you have been through."
Working
overtime
It's driving me insane
"What would you know about everything I've done?" Link asked coldly.
"Everything."
Haunting and somewhat demonic music was heard. Link watched as the dead rose from their graves and danced. Areylyn took his hand.
It will not let me
live
Always so negative
"Shall we?" She asked. Link nodded slowly.
The world around them switched. They were on a glass platform, with imaged flashing beneath them, waiting. They began to dance.
It's become my enemy
"I know that you have traversed time simply to save the world." Areylyn said.
Save me
"Anyone could know that." Link said.
Save me
Save me
"I know about the inverted deity, the Weaver."
The images below them flashed to the Weaver, spinning destinies and destroying time.
Save me
Save me
"I know what happened in your dreams."
Link shuddered. He refused to look at the images below him. Those were experiences that he did not wish to relive. They danced on, the music spurring them on.
Save me
Save me
"I know about your mother, and that little adventure with werewolves."
Link didn't look again. He kept his eyes on Areylyn. She smiled and continued.
Why would I think such things
"I know about you secretly leaving Hyrule to hunt down the Soul Edge."
Crazy thoughts
have quick wings
"I know about the scars that it left behind." Areylyn whispered.
Gaining momentum fast
The room went dark. Link froze, and Areylyn released him. A cold blade touched his neck. Link didn't move. He heard scrambling in the dark. The blade receded and Areylyn took his hands again. Light returned again and their little place had changed. There was about an inch of water around them, and there were floating roses around.
One minute I am fine
They danced on.
The next I've lost
my mind
To a fake fantasy
The next thing Link knew was that he was laying down, with his head on Areylyn's lap. He tried to stand up, but his arms and legs felt heavy. Areylyn ran her fingers through his soft blonde hair. Uncertain beads of sweat appeared on Link's face.
"Your legs gave out." Areylyn said.
And none of
these
thoughts are real
"Who…what are you?" Link asked.
"I am the only survivor of the Nekoi massacre. I am an illusionist. I am a dancer." She said, smiling almost sadistically.
So why is it that I
feel
So cut up and so bad
Link forced himself up. He felt tired. Areylyn steadied him. Link then noticed that his gauntlet was gone. His scar was exposed. He tried to cover it out of embarrassment. Areylyn held his hand firmly, as if she was studying the scar. She scowled and released his hand.
I need to take
control
'Cause my mind is on a roll
"Is something wrong?" Link asked.
Areylyn pulled him to his feet and snapped her fingers. They returned to the graveyard, several graves over from where they left.
And it isn't listening to me
They danced a stranger dance, among the dead.
Save me
Save me
"You are…very bad for the heart." Areylyn said, ghosting over the snow.
"I have that effect on people."
Save me
Save me
Save me
Save me
Then, Areylyn stopped. There was a dead silence as the dead stopped as well. Sunken eyes and hollow skulls fell on them. The moonlight was beginning to fade into dawn. The dead began to return to their graves.
Mirror mirror on the
wall
Who's the dumbest of them all
"There are things about you that even you don't know." Areylyn said, pulling Link close to her as if he was her girlfriend. Link turned red.
"Such as what?" Link asked, trying to hide his embarrassment.
Insecurities keep growing
Areylyn suddenly slammed Link onto the ground, the snow cushioning him slightly. She held him there, as if deciding what to do with him. Link struggled, but the Nekoi was stronger than she looked, much stronger.
Wasted energies are flowing
Areylyn's hands wrapped around his neck, tightening slowly. Link clawed at her hands, feeling her blood.
Anger, pain and sadness beckon
He felt her tears on his face. She released him. She looked at the blood on her hands, blood that Link had drawn. Link sat up, staring at her blood on his hands.
Panic sets in in a second
He reached over for her, to apologize. But he pulled back, almost afraid. Areylyn reacted in the blink of an eye. She grabbed him and hugged him tightly, tears falling in the cold. Link was uncertain of how to react. But then, she vanished. Link lost his balance and fell onto the snow.
Beware it's just your mind
"Link!"
Sheik landed softly on the ground as Link pushed himself up. He helped Link to his feet, giving him worried looks about the blood on his hands. Link shuddered.
You can stop it anytime
"Are you hurt? What happened? Are you alright?" Sheik asked in a worried voice.
"She knows…a lot about me…" Link said in a shaky voice as he gathered his sword and shield.
Save me
Save me
"Like what?" Sheik asked.
"She knew about my mother, about Kaos and the werewolves…and she said there is more to tell…" Link said, sighing.
Sheik steadied his friend. The two saw a note in the snow, written in blood. Another invitation, and Sheik was to attend as well.
Save me
Save me
"She gives us twenty-four hours." Sheik said.
"Shall we make the most of it?" Link asked.
Save me
Save me
"You are going home and going to bed. You need to rest." Sheik said.
"I'm fine…really." Link protested.
Save me
Save me
Sheik looked over his shoulder at the sleeping hero-boy on the bed. He rolled his eyes and closed the door. He was first headed to the castle, to get Zelda's opinion without telling her anything. Something told him that this would not end well.
Ok so here we go
Link drifted off, deeper and deeper into his dreams.
If it works I'll let you know
No one could see the scar begin to bleed again…
One two three I say stop
