Darkness surrounded me. It curled around my soaken wet form. It poked and pulled at my skin leaving invisible scratches on my skin. I was afraid of the dark ever since I was little. There was always something about it...I could never tell what. I sat in a hole in a tree hiding from the rain. Often I would see shadows dancing in my line of sight but I could never tell what they were. I slept in the tree and in the morning I continued on my journey. I didn't know where I was going but I knew I just had to get away from the mansion. I was unsure wether I should go to Diego's or not. Even if I decided to I didn't even know where to go anyways.
It had stopped raining but the mud on the ground was slick and he\ard to walk on? "I bet this is what it is like for link when he is on his journeys." I said to myself. I was confused...who was link? Had I known this person in my other life? No...the name didn't sound familier...yet at the same time it did sound familier. As ther days passed I grew I started to imagine things. They would come in forms of nearly anything. Wether it be object or man. I grew warry and jumped at any slight sound. I would shake uncontrolably for unknown reasons. When I passed water it would reach out soothingly as if trying to calm me down.
One day I was looking for food when I came across a apple tree on a tiny little island. A little man slept soundly against the tree. The island was surround by rushing water. When I stepped towards the water it stopped and spread it'self apart so I could walk across. I jumped a few inches in the air when I noticed him shifting a bit. My hands shook as I reached up to grab an apple. "Wha the hell you think yer doin?" a voice said from behind me. I slowly turned around. The small man stood behind me "S-sir I'm t-terribly sorry for interuppting your peaceful slumber but I'm-" I looked at the tree and then back at him "I'm just so hungry. I can't even remember the last time I ate." I said.
"Well you ain't havin any of my apples." The man said tipping his hat at me he said "Good day to you miss" he went to go back to sleep. Anger boiled in my blood. I grabbed the back of his collar. "How is this gonna be a good day if it means going another day hungry?" I asked lifting him in the air in front of me. "Well you can go find food somewhere else because you ain't haven any of my precious apples." he said "You wanna know what I think of your precious apples?" I asked. I took an apple threw it on the ground and smashed it with my foot. Blood came pouring out of the apple and the man fell out of my arms doubling over in pain. I picked up the smashed apple and peered into it. Inside was...an artery. "I made a deal with the devil...and the result was my insides being put inside apples.
"I looked at the artery. Water rose into the air and wrapped around the small man's limbs and stood him in front of me. I leaned into his face. "I never caught your name" I said "Sh-sheldon." he stuttered I crushed the artery in my hand and listened to him scream in pain. It wasn't enough. I shoved my hand into his stomach and felt around. He was completely empty from what I could feel. Suddenly my hand started to shine with an unknown energy. Electricity. The man was shocked incrediably bad. So bad almost all of the apples behind me exploded and blood showered the sky. I blinked in confusion. My eyes widened when I realised what I was doing "Oh my gods!" I pulled away in shock and the water around Sheldon dropped him on his face. I pulled him on his back "By the gods I'm terribly sorry I don't know why I did what I did!" I said as his body shook with bloodied coughs. "Please" he rasped "I've been alive for so long never being able to do anything with my life. Put me out of my misery...please"
"N-no I can't! I can't kill you! I- I'll fix you I swear!" I said "Please...please...please...please" the words echoed loudly in my ears "Please...please...please...please...please" I covered my ears "Shut up!"I said trying desperatly to crawl away. Kill him. End his pain. My body move on it's own accord. I plucked the very last apple from the tree. It's was bigger than a normal apple. I opened it and found a heart. I took the heart into my hand. Kill him now. I did as the voice told me to. I squeesed the heart so much that it exploded onto my already soaken wet bloodied face.
