Alone
Yorda's POV
I shiver slightly, as I recall all thats happened today. My mother, the queen, appeared and stopped us from leaving. She shut the gate before we could even cross. She said I couldn't survive outside the castle walls. I wouldn't mind, dying. So long as the horned boy can be free. So long as my savior still lives, I don't care what happens to me. My savior, who saved me from that hell.
I had been alone, for so long. I had sat in that dark, dusty cage. I never saw anyone their. Not even the lost souls. Those poor beings, born, as I am now. In between earth and soul, though they closer to earth, and I closer to what lies after. I sat, day after day, hoping just to see another soul. I wonder if that makes me a bad person. Hoping to see someone else, inside this forsaken castle. I had almost broken. Almost given in to the loneliness, the hopelessness. And then he came. The horned boy. He sat me free. He saved me from the darkness... and myself. Had I been left alone another day... I would have taken my own life. I would have slipped through the bars and jumped to my death, or I would have taken my dress and hung myself. I can picture it now. The shocked look on my mother's face when she saw my naked, dangling corpse. The corpse of her next sacrifice. The now useless corps of the own who she would steal the life force of. But he saved me. He saved me from it all., and as I feel his warm hand in mine I know I love him. I don't know his name, but I love him. And I realize, whenever I wake from a nightmare of that hell, that I'm no longer alone.

AN- yeah, pretty dark and slightly depressing, I know. I hope you guys enjoyed it. This is my first serious fan fiction, and I hope I did a good job. Let me know if there is anything wrong with it. Also, as for Yorda calling Ico the horned boy, It's because she was never actually told at any point in the game what his name is. She will find out later, but not yet. I'm gonna try to mix up Ico and Yorda chapters until the last one, witch is gonna be a lemon on the beach. Or, actually, thats gonna be an epilogue after what I think happens post-game. I'm also gonna write a lemon-fiction based on what one of my friends suggested really happens when you save and quit.
