Chapter Two

The cold air blew against Cyric's face as Link was dragging him away from Malon and the group of people. Cyric was still twitching and Link was still scared to death as the wind grew stronger and out of nowhere small rain drops were starting to hit the ground.

"L-Link."

"Look don't talk. Not until we get to Hyrule Castle. There's something wrong with this, Malon's not suppose to be evil!" shouted Link as he felt the rain drops fall on his face. Cyric stopped twitching and Link could hear him resisting to go to the Castle.

"Link… stop. Right here, and listen to my tale of how Malon… is the way she is!"

As though it was instinct, Link stopped and turned to the injured boy whose eyes were watering with tears. Link sat down and loosened his grip on his hand before eventually letting go.

"Malon… she was a confusing girl… to understand. She never… talked about her past, except… she kept on sleep talking about… you."

She kept on sleep talking about you when she first stumbled upon my brother and I. I would just stay up just to hear the things she would say, but there was one night where she changed forever. It was as though she just snapped.

Malon woke up in the middle of her sleep talk; she was talking about how you left… over 10 years ago. Her eyes were filled with tears that shinned in the moonlight, she saw me awake and staring at her with my own eyes filled with tears.

"I-I'm sorry."

"Huh? You haven't done anything wrong."

"I've kept you up."

"I enjoy your memories but… this sleep talk was different. A different aura surrounds you tonight. Is there something wrong?" I asked, unaware of Malon's eyes staring at my brother.

"No… I just miss a really good friend of mine. The fairy boy from my past but I can't find him anymore. He left Hyrule and I didn't see him yet."

I got back into my sleeping bag and soon sleep overcame me. It wasn't more than 2 hours later I heard Malon screaming. I woke up instantly and I saw a black shadow staring at her and suddenly the shadow disappeared.

"Malon are you okay?"

She didn't answer me, her eyes weren't the same sapphire color I remembered so I got scared that maybe something happened to her. I shook her and her eyes regained their color and that's sort of when she wasn't sleep talking anymore.

A few months after that happened I waited for her to sleep before I'd stay up and wait for her to sleep talk. After she didn't talk anymore I was mad that I would've let her be a victim to that shadow.

"I don't know… the whole story. Just… that she was always… kind toward me… but now she… didn't even… care… what happened… to me. Link… if she was your… friend she… will always… care for you. I think… after that night… she hated you."

"That's what happened huh? I agree something is wrong with that, um-"

"Cyric is my name… I guess… fairy boy was… your nickname?"

"Yeah. I used to have a fairy that followed me but she disappeared after my first journey to defeat a person named Ganondorf," whispered Link as he saw Cyric's eyes close slightly. "Are you going to make it?"

"I don't… know. I saw… Malon use it after… she stole it from… a boy… my age. She… killed him as… though he was… me. That blade, it has… a dark… force. It brings… back horrible memories."

"I'm sorry you got hurt. I should've seen it coming. After all Malon isn't my best friend anymore."

"You… like her don't… you?"

"Maybe, maybe not. I know I want to love her but she's different. I don't know if my heart can take it," said Link as the tears fell to the already wet ground. Cyric's eyes had finally closed.

"I'm… sorry. Please… take… me with… you. I'll… make it… up to you. I swear."

Link picked up Cyric who had passed out, threw him over his shoulder and ran toward Hyrule Castle… where his answers would come faster and he would've expected.

I hate how this chapter came out. I mean this story seems kind of unsettling as I wrote it. Anyways, I know it isn't very clear on what happened but it'll be clearer later on.

I hope you like it, and review. I'll update even if I get only 1 review for this chapter.
