Last Time
"I like you Dark. You are different from everyone else,"
"Different because I'm a monst-"
"Different because you're special," I look into his stunning red eyes, "I can't act around others the way I act around you. You attract me. I'm somehow attracted to you. I'm not yet sure if in a lovey dovey way but... I feel like... metal attracted to a magnet. You're my magnet Dark," I say and lean into his lips, kissing him softly. I kept my eyes closed, and hoped this will work. I'm only doing this to bring him back right? But goddess..It felt so good... Once I felt Dark kiss me back, I opened my eyes hoping to see his closed as well. I opened mine to see him staring back at me. The fierce gaze he previously had was now gone. His eyes now show pleasure, and happiness with a slight glimmer of shock. Seeing him stare at me so closely I blush and stopped kissing him, pulling away. I felt my face heat up instantly and looked down to tear away from his gaze.
"Link?"
Link's POV
"SLAVE!" Ganondorf roared. I turned around to face him and kept Dark behind me. Ganondorf began to float in the air as the organ and designs disappeared along with Zelda. Our Room was now a giant square. Sending a surge of power throughout the room, some of the ground blocks fell revealing a long fall down. Luckily, Dark and I stood on the safety of a corner which I believe is the only place of safety.
"EVERYTHING I MAKE YOU DO" Ganondorf forms a ball of light in his hand, "YOU FAIL! YOU ARE A FAILURE!" The ball of power is launched at us. I gasped and pull out my Hylian Shield just in time. The magic hit my shield, yet didn't protect me. The magic surged throw me starting from my arm, and traveled through out my body. I let out a cry as the magic continues through me. The electricity slowly faded, yet I felt small twitches of it shaking my body.
"Link! You okay?"
"Uhh..."
"YOU BRAT!" Ganondorf roared as he formed another ball of light. My Shield isn't good... can I deflect it with my sword? He launched the ball at me and I took out my sword, timing it right, I strike the ball quick enough. The light gets reflected and I watch in amazement as it shoots towards Ganondorf. He growls and hits it back. Back and forth we reflected the light. I don't hear Dark behind me and I'm hoping he's alright. Why did he change? Did Ganondorf hypnotize him? Pulling me from my thoughts, I heard Ganondorf roar with pain and anger. I focus my gaze on him as his entire body crunches up and shakes as the electricity runs through his body. After the power ends, Ganondorf floats in the air shivering. He begins to fly again this time with anger in his eyes.
How do I hit him? What do I use. The electricity might not do enough. Ganondorf is evil. Evil is darkness. Light kills Darkness because Light is purity. Purity kills evil. Light. My light arrows!
"Link!" Dark pushed me down as a ball of light came hurdling our way. Landing on one of the loose blocks, I hit my head hard against the ground. Dark fell forward and landed near my feet. I crawled onto my knee's and reached out to him. Grabbing his arm, I quickly pull and bring him up to his knee's. I let go but stop as Dark's own hand reaches out to me. He grabs the front of my tunic and crashes his lips to mine momentarily. My eyes widen at the sudden motion and before I could push him away, he retracts. A quick kiss. Not that it was bad.
"Sorry, you're just so beautiful..."
"Dark now isn't the t-" I gasp as a see a ball of light launched at us again. I roll out of the way and make sure to grab Dark who ungracefully gets dragged across the blocks. I stand up, pulling Dark up with me, and run to a corner as the blocks vibrated behind me. I heard Dark running behind me, but I wouldn't let go of his hand. Once we got to the safety the corner, I turn around and slap Dark straight across the face. A red mark was left from the impact.
"Focus Dark! Now isn't the time" I yell. There is no time for anything! We could have died back there. He's so stupid! I growl and whirl back around to face Ganondorf who's arm just shook from sending more power towards us. I whip my sword out, sending the light flying back with great speed at our foe. He hits it back and we continue like this. I try my hardest to increase the speed to throw him off, but fail miserably. My eyes quickly shot to my side as I felt my pouch being fondled and opened. A roar erupted in the room and my eyes shot back to Ganondorf who shook violently and floated in the air panting slightly. A beam of light hit the flailing body which I immediately identified as my light arrow. I followed the light trail to be met with Dark who aimed the bow down at the ground.
"Attack him Link! Go!" Without a second thought, I run and jump over to the middle ledge where Ganondorf panted. Taking out my sword I slice him vertically multiple times. He lets out small grunts and shoots up into the air again. I take that as I sign and jump back over to the ledge. I heard a crackling noise behind me and turn around to be met with another ball of light. How does he regenerate them so quickly!? I jump to the left as the blocks previously underneath me fall down to a lower level. I am now directly in front of Dark, yet on the opposite side of the room.
"You are such an annoyance!" Ganondorf grumbles as he turns around to face Dark.
"Uhh Link..."
"J-Just use your sword! I'll be right there!" I call to him. I watch as Dark's hand slightly trembled as he reached back for his sword. I nodded and looked around me. There is no way over there accept for the middle platform. It's dangerous to use that. I don't know what Ganondorf might do. The blocks around me are gone though... What do I do? Dark screamed in pain and my head shot up to see Dark on the ground trembling. Ganondorf's laugh erupted in the room and I took this opportunity to reach in my pouch. I pulled out my fire arrows. Groaning I decide to just throw the flaming stick, since Dark has my bow. It lands on his cloak which sets on fire. Ganon's laugh seized immediately as he tried desperately to put out the flame. I Gulp and jump on the middle platform, looking up above me to see if he notices. He doesn't and continues to pat at his cloak as I run over to Dark who was now slowly standing up. I jump over and grab onto his shoulders.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry I didn't know.." I beg for forgiveness. Why didn't it work? Is it because it only works on the Master Sword? Dark has a Master Sword too... Is it maybe because it's dark? Evil? It's still a duplicate of it.
"It's ok, you didn't know, It's not your fault..." Staring into his eyes, I can tell he is hurt. I sigh and turn around.
"Stay down, don't pressure your wounds," I say striking the magic yet again. Back and forth we continued.
"I want to help"
"Then stay there and shoot! Don't move!" I yell angrily struggling to fight back Ganondorf. I hear Dark sigh and I hope he does help. I don't want him to get hurt but I need help as well... Ganondorf roars and falls down as Dark's arrow quickly shoots him directly in the chest. Flabbergasted at how quick Dark was I sped over to the middle podium and strike Ganondorf in the chest and back. What causes the most damage?! The head! The brain controls everything doesn't it?! I position my sword and jump into my attack, thrusting my blade into his skull. His piercing scream echo's through out the room. I watch as his body shakes and falls down on the middle platform. I jump back over to Dark, while keeping my eyes set on Ganondorf. Is he... Dead?
"Did you kill him?" Dark asks slowly standing up. I sit down next to him and gently lower him down.
"I don't know. I think I did..."
"Link!" I hear a far away cry. Turning around I see Zelda staring at us.
"Zelda are you alright!?" I ask, standing up and bowing to her. I hug her tightly to me and then look at her face. I tuck a stray hair behind her ear and run my fingers down her cheek.
"He... he didn't do anything to you did he?" I trembled looking over her face for any injuries. She looked alright.
"I'm fine, I'm fine! No need for that now!" She giggles, "Is everything alright here?"
"Dark's hurt..." I mumble and sit back down next to him.
"Where does it hurt the most?" I ask Dark who's glaring at Zelda. I repeat his name a couple of times and his fowl expression changes. He looks up at me and touches his right hip, wincing.
"How can we both get hit but only I get injured?" Dark chuckles slightly.
"Because you're a monster," Zelda replies blandly.
"He wasn't blessed by the goddess. I was and that gave me an advantage," I replied. I didn't want to hurt neither of their feelings. I didn't look Zelda nor Dark in the eye as I slowly pulled Dark up to his knee's. I tugged on his belt and unbuckled it.
"Link? What are doing?" Dark asked. I saw a small blush creep onto his cheeks and Zelda let out a small puff of air. Goddess what are they thinking. I lift up Dark's shirt and gasp as I see a large scratch. It looks like a large piece of skin was ripped from his body. Little lines traveled out from the core of the wound and curled around his body. I cover my mouth him my hand and look over at Zelda.
"Can.. Can you do anything?"
"Yes..."
"Will you?" I blink. Doesn't she get the hint?
"I will not touch that monster!"
"Don't let her touch me!" They both yell in unison.
"Zelda... please?" I look at her and plead her with my eyes. She looks at me and her angry faces loosens. She lets out a soft sigh and bends down. Before she even got her hands out to him, the ground began to shake.
"Link?!" Zelda cries out in terror and grabs onto my arm.
"What's going on?" Dark asks. I look behind me to see The pile of Ganondorf was slowly disappearing. A harsh whisper echoed 'I'm taking you down' I stand up and pull Dark with me. He winces and I look him straight in the eye.
"Please bear with it for a few," I say pulling his arm and carrying him. I wrapped his legs around my waist and made him wrap his arms around my neck. I felt him nuzzle his face into my neck as I held onto him on the back of his thighs. I look over to Zelda who was terrified.
"You know this castle batter than I do Princess, please lead us out! I'll protect you!" I yell to her over the rumbling noises. She nods her head quickly and we both run over to the large door. I push it open with me shoulder and let Zelda through. As we both walk through, we are surprised with an interesting sight. The walls were all torn down and the stairs slightly broken.
"Keep going! Don't worry! We'll make it out!"
"LINK!" I hear Navi cry. I look over to see her flying as fast as her little wings can carry her over to us.
"Navi..." I smile.
"Link!" Zelda yells after me. I stumble as the stair I'm on slightly crumbles. I speed down the staircase after Zelda. She opens a door for me and I walk in waiting for her to come in. She speeds over to the other side of the room. Wow, she does well under pressure.
"Dark you alright?"
No reply.
"Dark?"
"He's passed out. He's fine for now, we need to get out of here Link!" Navi yells at me. I look at his closed eyes as his head rests on my shoulder and nod following after Zelda who already opened the door.
-Time Skip- (It was gonna be all opening that door and running blah blah blah so I skipped it)
Dark's POV
Everything was black. I could hear everything... but I couldn't see. What is going on? I hear... an annoying voice... Navi? A female voice... Zelda. And an angelic voice.. Link. Link saved me. He didn't just leave me there to die... I sigh. I heard a loud rumble and felt myself being placed on the ground.
"Navi... c...do..a..to...p" The angelic voice was muffled.
"I'm n...ur... I...y" Through the darkness I saw little sparkles and my vision cleared. I looked around yet I can't move my head. What... what is going on? I see that I'm lying on the ground staring up at a clouded sky. A demolished castle behind to blonde children. Children? They are my age. I chuckle inwardly. Zelda looked over at me. Ew.. don't look at me you wretched beast... and Link. Link was on top of me staring down.
"His eyes are still closed Navi..." he says looking at the fairy. My eyes are closed? But I can see? Is this the work of the goddess. Am I dead? I feel a weird touch on my neck.
"He has a pulse..." Zelda says. EW! Link don't let her touch me.
"Zelda can you do anything. Please?" Link pleads her. Aw he really does care. Oh my isn't he precious. I sigh and smile.
"Link.."
"Please... do this for me.." Link says softly. They look at each other for a minute and Zelda finally sighs. Great...
I felt a small pressure on my injury and watched as Zelda closed her eyes. The area below glowed blue and I felt instant relief over something I didn't know hurt. I closed my eyes tightly as her magic worked. I couldn't open my eyes. They were locked tight. My head spun as I heard an odd voice that came neither from Zelda nor Navi. It was a calm soothing voice. Almost as nice as Links.
"Kindness. Take her Kindness young one."
"Who are you?" I whispered back.
"I'm giving you a second chance. Take this chance. Fight... fight for what you love. He will fight for you. Silver Petals."
"Silver petals? What does that mean? The tree?"
"You are his metal as he is yours. Light and Dark. Balance each other. Together."
My head spun again as the voice slowly disappeared. I tried pealing my eyes open and a small crack of light appeared. I can open them but my eye lids are so heavy... I try again and a crack of light appears again. Everything sounds clear again.
"Hey Link..."
"Yes, Zelda..."
Link... my Link. My metal...
"I thought over this for a while now and I was wondering.."
My light...
"If you would be my personal.. knight.
MY light... I try again and this time more light appeared in my vision.
"Your... personal knight?" Link replied.
"Yes.. you will stay at my castle as all times. I will supply you with food and clothing and a room and everything fit for a King. You will always be at my side."
Say no...
"Protecting me..."
Link.. please.. I try to open my eyes again. This time I see Link and Zelda looking at each other. He can't say yes. We are suppose to be together forever.
"I will Zelda. I accept."
My eyes snap open.
Darks POV
….
'I will Zelda.'
…
'I accept.' ?
…
"Link..." I whisper. I watch as both Link and Zelda look down at me. Zelda ,with a hint of a blush, slightly smirks, and Link's eyes widen as he looks over me carefully.
"Are you okay? Zelda healed you a bit but it would be better if we got some fairies or medicine from the Doctor..."
"Link..."
"You have a large scar! Great! It's all my fault!"
"Link..."
"Yes?"
"You are MY light..."
"Uhh..." Link looks over at Zelda who shrugs her shoulders, "You're still a little shaken and wobbly from previously. You're alright. Come one." Link grabs my arm and places another behind my back, slowly lifting me back up. Zelda looks at me and rolls her eyes.
-At Zelda's Castle-
"Link, I must prepare for the ceremony, I'll leave you and Dark Link alone..."
"You can always call me when you need help, Princess," Link says softly. He smiles at Zelda who's face lightly turned red. She giggled and made her way out the room as Link bowed slightly. I watched as the door closed and Link rose back up. He walked over to a desk a picked up a bottle with a fairy in it. The little fairy glowed a soft pink as she knocked on the glass wanting to be released already. She was a regular fairy unlike the ones that I met with the tree. Her hair was short and cropped and a cute blonde color. Her dress was short and littered with tiny designs that I can't see. Her little feet were bare yet she had a little band on her ankle. The fairy from the tree was extravagant. Where is that tree anyway?
"Link can you take out that tree I gave you?" I say softly. The fairy looks at me and gasps. Probably because we look alike. She gazes from me to Link but doesn't question anything. Link nods and walks over to his bag where he takes out the tree.
I looked around the room. This was a guest room... one of hundreds. I've peaked into the others on our way to this one. This is the nicest. The room Zelda put us in is suppose to be Link's future room. The very near future.. when he becomes Zelda's knight. There was a large double bed with a royal silk canopy. A large circular carpet was placed in the center of the room. A table by the bed, a desk near the door and a wardrobe near the bathroom door. All made from wood from the forest. The colors were coordinated and everything seemed perfect. Green and gold. It's so Link... Speaking of Link, he walked over to me and placed the tree next to me and placed his hand on the cork of the bottle. He pulled and a soft pop echoed through the room.
"Do you're thing," Link smiles as he released the fairy from the bottle. It nodded and flew around my chest and stomach. I felt the small cracks on my skin slowly heal, yet the more fatal ones were still there. The fairy bit her tiny lip and tried again, this time causing the bigger lines to fade slightly. She let out a puff of air and looked over at Link who nodded.
"That will be fine," Link smiled, "Thank you."
The fairy shook her head and disappeared into thin air, returning to the Great Fairy. Link touched my chest and traced the fading lines. I felt butterflies in my stomach and shifted under his touch. I felt the blood rush to my cheeks as he exhaled and his hot hair hit my cold body.
"That looks like it hurts... sorry Dark..."
"So you touch it?" I chuckle.
Link blushes and quickly removes his fingers leaving an empty feeling in my heart.
"Oh um.. sorry.." he laughs nervously. He stared down at the ground and I look at him trying to get his gaze. There's an awkward silence between us. I just say what is on my mind...
"Link... are you really going to become Zelda's personal knight?" He freezes at that and his eyes widen. Link stands up and cracks his back. I look up to his beautiful form as my heart hurts more. Why isn't he replying?
"Yes... Dark I am..."
"Why?"
"Well... she's the Princess and"
"Are you really going to do anything for her because she likes you?" I say slightly louder. Why Zelda? Why her?
"I'm not doing this because of her feelings. I'm doing this because I have to protect her, Dark."
"What the other hundred knights here can't do it?"
"The other knights aren't me..."
"What so because you're the hero all the other knights are crap?!"
"I never said that. I mean Zelda needs me not just some knight... not matter how strong"
"She just wants you all to herself.."
Link stops at that and looks me directly in the eyes.
"Dark, Zelda asked me to be her personal knight and I am going to be not so I could spend more time with her, but so I can protect her." He turns around and heads to the door.
"What about me?"
Link stops moving but won't turn around to face me, one hand on the doorknob.
"You're just going to leave me? You saved me and then you're going to throw me away? I know I'm trash but I didn't think I was that horrible..."
His body tenses and lets out a sigh. He turns around and walks over to me but his hair covers his eyes. He kneels down and looks at me through his golden hair.
"You're not trash and you're not horrible. I don't want to loose you..." Link says looking at me with his deep blue eyes.
"Then why are you throwing me away?"
"I'm not throwi-"
"You're leaving me for Zelda!"
"I'll ask Zelda if you could be here with me..."
My blood boils
"Are you fucking insane!" I say standing up. Link shoots up as well shocked at my outburst.
"I HATE Zelda, I HATE her, Link. And you want me to PROTECT her? Never in my life"
"Dark! Don't say that about her!" he tried over powering me. Link is shorter than me and it's kind of cute seeing him struggle trying to win dominance. I kick myself inwardly. Now is not the time to admire how amazing Link is...
"Don't say what?! The truth?"
"You don't need to protect her! Just.. just stay here with me!" he yells at me, "Isn't that what you want!"
"Link listen to me!" I say. I aggressively grab Link and slam him into the wall. He lets out a pained whimper and my heart cracks a little from hearing him in pain... because of me. One of my hands pins Link's hand next to his head and my other hand is pushing against his opposite shoulder. His unpinned hand reaches up and pushes against my chest, begging for release. I push my body against his and place my knee in between his legs to keep him from moving. He looks up at me with fear. Real fear. The sadistic part of me from my past yearns for this. He wants Link's fear and his blood. The part of that wanted to kill him. But every time I stare into his eyes the soft part of me comes. The part that wants a friend... that wants a lover... that wants Link.
I lean into Link's face and try to talk calmly. My voice is shaking and I'm trying to contain my anger and sadness. Why is he so blind. Why can't he see? I'm so confused. Why? I'll ask him. I need to know.
"Why can't you see, Link?" I whisper softly.
"See what?"
"How much I fucking care for you, how much I love you, how much it pains me to see you with Zelda or Sheik or anyone?!"
"I-I" Link stutters I won't let him answer.
"Are you blind? Are you pushing me away? Do you want me gone? I can do that Link."
"No.. I-"
"You saw? You aren't blind? Is that what you want to say? If you knew then why didn't you return my feelings? And even if you didn't, why did you play me? Why did you pretend?"
"I didn't pretend I didn't lie Dark listen to me!"
"So you love me. Then why do you want me gone?!"
"I don't want you gone!" Link yells.
"I can do that Link... I can cut my wrist of just stab myself with my sword. I can do it all and end it. End all your problems and all of mine. Just die. Doesn't that sound nice?"
"No! Don't do that!" Small tears form under his eyes. The sinister part of me just wants to lap up his tears and enjoy the salty taste.
"Why would you care? You'll be with Zelda won't you? That's all you care about. I could cut my wrists or just stab myself but you wouldn't fuckin' care! It's all Zelda, Zelda Ze-"
"I care Dark I care! Don't hurt yourself! Don't die or I don't know what I'd do!"
"You'd forget about me."
"I wouldn't!" He yells. Tears were falling down his cheeks, which were red. His breathe was heavy and I felt his quickened, hard beating heart against my body. His body shook as more tears fell from his eyes. His cried. The great might hero... can cry. I sigh and release him. He collapses into my arms and we both fall down onto the ground. Link breaks down and cries in my arms, hugging my close to his body. I wrap my arms around his trembling body as I think over what just happened. I made Link cry... I'm so horrible... If he wants to be with me... he can but I can't be with him and hurt him. I can't be with him. What am I thinking? Zelda's a princess... Link is a Hero... They are meant for each other. But what about that lady I saw. The one in my dream. The one who told me Link is mine? Did she lie?
Link's POV
I cried and cried and cried until I couldn't any more. I don't cry. I don't cry in front of people but the way he talked. The way he spoke... about killing himself. I just couldn't take it... Dark... dead... because of me? Because I chose Zelda? I cried in his arms, calling out his name a couple of times. I tried calming down but just feeling his beating heart against my body brought me out in more tears. I felt his fingers comb through my hair and I calmed down. His touch eased the pain. I felt safe... I felt calm...
"D-Dark?" I snuffled.
"Yes..." he whispered softly.
"I need some fresh air..."
I felt him nod and he both stood up. I shook slightly and almost fell but Dark grabbed me and held me up. We opened the door and walked down the hallway and down the staircase to the door to the Garden. I opened it and ran outside, leaving Dark behind to stare after me. I run through the flowers and stop as the sun beats down on me. I sigh and look around. The garden was covered with beautiful flowers. I saw roses and tulips and lily's and everything imaginable. The Gardener must work hard... There was a large fountain in the shape of the triforce in the center and clear water twirled around it. Small fish swam along with the current. The larger pool of water dripped to smaller tiles all around the garden. Behind the fountain was a gate that led to a forest. The dark tree's seems out of place in this light garden... But I guess.. The darkness looks little nice. It brings out the wonderful colors. I let out a shuddered breath and close my eyes. I felt a hand on my waist and jump to see Dark looking down at me. I turned around to face him and rested my hands on his chest, playing with the strings of his collar. He grabbed my chin softly and tilted my head up towards him. He got closer and closer... I felt his hot breath on my soft lips..
"Uh.. Link?" I jump and push Dark away as I here a mans voice. I look towards the door to see a knight standing there. His face was slightly pink and his voice cracked when he called my name. I looked at Dark who rose an eyebrow at me and had a look of anger on his face. Well, we were about to kiss... so I guess I understand why he's all mad..
"Princess Zelda awaits..."
Dark tenses.
"Oh um.. I'll be... right there..."
"Princess Zelda gave me the order to escort you there as soon as possible"
"Uhm.."
"You're going?"
"Dark.."
"What about what we just did. What we said to each other?" Dark said disbelieving.
"Dark, I can't just-"
"Yes you can! Just leave! Leave with me now," he motions to the garden door which leads to the forest.
"Link, Princess Zelda awaits!" The guard yells over to us.
"I-I'm Co- Dark where are you going!?" I watch as he walks over to the garden door and opens it.
"Dark you can't be serious!? I can't leave without telling her!"
"Why is it important. We'll send her a message," he was glaring at me right now. I wanted to crawl into a ditch and sit there. I don't want to decide... Zelda or Dark I have to. I look over at the knight who shifts uncomfortably and waits for me to come. I look back over to Dark who waits for me to come as well. I stare down at me hands and take a step towards Dark. I stop and look over at the Knight again. I grab my head and shut my eyes.
"I didn't know this decision was going to be so hard," Dark says coldly. I open my eyes and see him shaking his head at me. I feel a sharp pain in my heart and It felt like I had a frog in my throat. I couldn't talk my mouth went dry. I look at him and plead for his forgiveness. I have to go to Zelda but I want Dark here too. Why.. why can't we just be... together? He growls and dashes into the woods. I should go after him! I start running towards the gate but stop. Zelda... I look at the dark woods and clench my teeth. I turn around and close my fists. I see the knight who is staring at me anxiously. I walk towards the him slowly, biting back the regret. This is right.. isn't it?
"I'll... I'll escort you there..." The knight says and starts walking away from the door. I nod my head and follow him. To see Zelda. To see my wonderful, loving, Zelda.
