Chapter 6: As if Things Weren't Confusing Enough

Raven woke up, for the third time today. Her headache was gone, and she seemed to feel relieved for some reason.

"Le, are you there?" Raven whispered ho herself, her other-half was unusually quiet.

"Shut up and let me sleep." Raven sighed in relief, Unleashed didn't seem to be hurt.

Raven sat up in her bed, and noticed a plate of food next to the bed. The plate contained, what looked like, a sandwich. She slowly looked around and saw that no one was there but her. Happy to finally be alone, Raven grabbed the sandwich and started eating it. It was really good, she realized. It was a ham and cheese sandwich with lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles. It even had mayonnaise and mustard. Raven was smiling with delight, this was her favorite sandwich. It may have only been a day but it felt like a lifetime since she ate something like this. Raven was lost in her thoughts of nothingness as she ate the delicious sandwich.

"Do you like it?" A gentle voice said, snapping her out of her thoughts of nothing. Raven realized that the sandwich was now gone. The only thing that remained was crumbs that now covered the bed.

"It was good…" Raven soon replied, her ears didn't seem to recognize the voice that was speaking to her.

"That's good, Master Link was very specific when he told me to make you something to eat. He said that it should be very good." As this was being said a young lady walked into view, she had long brown hair and blue eyes. She also seemed to be wearing a maids' uniform, which was surprising since she seemed to have a regal bearing about her.

"Who're you?" Raven asked, wondering how she didn't see the woman before.

"I'm your maid, assigned to you by Master Link." She replied giving a curtsy as she spoke.

"I…uh I meant your name…" Raven said, both confused and uncomfortable that she was given a maid.

The maid looked at her shocked, "I'm sorry, is that a custom where you're from?"

This response caught Raven off guard. "Well, where I'm from it is." She said cautiously, she had no idea that the Zeldaverse didn't have these customs.

The maid started to look worried, "I'm sorry," she clearly looked frightened, but at what seemed to elude Raven. "My name is Zelda."

Now this shocked Raven even more. Why was Zelda a maid, and was referring to Link as her master? "Do you mean Princess Zelda?"

"Oh no Miss Raven, I have no royal blood in me I assure you." Zelda said slightly laughing at Ravens' notion of Zelda being a princess.

"Just Raven is fine, Zelda." Raven stated growing even more confused, "Then where is the princess?"

"She is away on royal business, at least that's what Master Link told me." Zelda said seeming to be less on edge. "I was only hired a short time ago, so I don't know exactly what the princess is doing."

Raven nodded showing that she was listening. Though as she was listening, there were tons of questions going through her mind. Maybe Link just works at the castle. But that wouldn't explain why Zelda is here claiming to be a maid.

"Excuse me miss." Zelda's mild shout brought Ravens' mind back to one place.

"Y-yes?" She stuttered.

"I was asking if you really are a demon…if you don't mind telling." Zelda said timidly, "It's just that I hear Master Link talking about a female demon, and I just assumed it was you."

Raven was disheartened, even here she was branded as an unspeakable evil. Or at least, Unleashed was.

"Not exactly…" Raven ended up saying. Zelda looked at her, with a look that clearly said she didn't understand. Raven sighed she guessed that she had to tell Zelda her backstory.

"It started when I was a little girl. I was very sick, so my parents decided to take me to a place that said would help kids like me. The place had a reputation for the patients not surviving but at this point, my parents felt that they had no choice. However, what wasn't known to the public, was that it was a science lab to make bioweapons. I was the last one to be made, and I was made the strongest. It all went downhill when the last stage came up.

"In order to make a good bioweapon, you need to make sure it's ruthless and blood-thirsty. So, the scientists put a gallon of the essence of bloodlust into me. Unfortunately, I was awake at the time. I ended-up destroying the lab, my home town and I even killed my parents with my own hands…" Raven stopped she was trying to fight off the tears as she remembered that night. After a while, she took a deep breath and continued.

"After about six years of traveling alone, I met some friends. They all had a troubled past, like me. One were the last of his kind, one saw the deaths of his parents, and one is just insane. But, we all love each other like one big family."

As Raven stopped, she noticed that she was crying. She didn't care though, she missed her family. And deep down, Raven hoped that they were coming to try and save her.

Raven soon turned to look at Zelda, and to Ravens' surprise, she was crying too. Raven knew the tears she were shedding were of pity. Raven hated pity or Unleashed hated pity. Fortunately, Unleashed was still asleep and had no influence over her emotions.

The girls just sat there for a moment, Raven was still silently crying tired of holding in all her pain and just letting it all out. Zelda stopped crying, and she eventually moved to ravens bed softly rubbing her back comforting her. Links' orders weren't to just serve her, but Master Link wanted her to be friends with his demon pet. Zelda now understood what he meant, Raven was lonely. Raven might not say it, but Zelda could tell by the way Raven talked about her friends.

Raven soon fell asleep again. Zelda looked fondly at her new friend-to-be, as she laid her back down into her bed. And before she left, Zelda whispered something into Ravens' ear,

"I'll make sure to take good care of you. I promise."
