Link comes in a little while later and moves things around. I look at her and she is cleaning the place up. I'm tempted to tell her that someone else can come and do that but cleaning seems to calm her down. I stop her after a minute to see what got her so worked up.
"Link are you okay?" I ask wearily.
"Not really, that dumb prince was talking to me about something," Link replies not looking at me.
"About what?" I ask her but I know exactly what thing she is talking about.
"Nothing that you need to worry about. Now we should get some rest it's late and we have to deal with that temple tomorrow." I know Link is trying to avoid telling but I don't know why she would be so worried about it. We go to sleep but I stay awake for a while. Link rolls over her 'line' and cuddles up with me. Her breathing is even so I know she is sleeping but she doesn't look comfortable.
Her face is scrunched up and she is curling up in a ball. When she starts whimpering I realize that it's a nightmare and wake her up. She bolts up looks at me, the bed and then the place she is supposed to be and lights red. She doesn't say anything but moves to her side and rolls away from me. I go to sleep after a while and before I do I feel Link next to me again.
Link is up before me and wakes me up. I don't really feel like getting up so I go back to sleep. Link sighs and kisses my cheek! I bolt up and she starts talking.
"Finally! Come on we have things to do!" She leaves and I get ready. I have no idea if that was to mess with me or she meant it but I know she won't tell me. I head outside and Link has the prisoner in a blue tunic so he can breath and he is knocked out.
"What is the point of having him unconscious?" I ask her.
"If he was awake you would want him out more than me," She says while diving in. I don't know her meaning by that but I follow her. She is dragging him by a rope and has some rocks so he won't float. When we surface in the temple she gets the rocks off and wakes him up. We all walk through the temple and the prisoner is gagged because Link doesn't want to deal with his talking. We get to the endless room and Dark appears. The prisoner's gag is taken off and he starts talking.
"Now Blondie I don't see why you have to put me here. We could go somewhere else," I can see Link getting madder by the minute so I tell Dark that he will take his place.
"Fine by me," He says and with a black cloud the prisoner is gone and Dark is still there. "Thanks and like I said I'll stop harming people. Now see ya." He runs past us and we follow. He leaves and runs away from Lake Hylia. When he is gone Link grabs or stuff from inside and we get ready to go. Link leaves a note on the door that the problem is taken care off so we don't have to talk to the fish.
When we get back to the castle Link gets Epona settled and goes inside. She seems really jumpy today so I stop her when we are in the hall of our rooms.
"Why are you so jumpy?" I interrogate her.
"Nothing that needs your worry, I'm fine I just need to think some things over." Her voice is full of doubt.
"Is it that thing were Ruto told you you could be free?" I ask. Mentally hitting myself for telling her I knew.
"Yes... Wait you listened in!"
"Yes. Link I love you but if you want to go you can," I'm really reluctant to say this but I know that it is true.
Link's eyes widen and she kisses me. Before I know what happened she is gone and I hear her door close.
I go to my room and when I open the door that shadow is there. He has that smirk on his face and is planning with a quill at my desk.
"Looks like light has taken a liking to you," Dark says shifting in the chair to face me.
"How did you get in here?" I growl at him.
"I may be free but I can still move with the darkness." This guy is creepy!
"Alright that explains that but why would you care about Link?" I ask him and he chuckles.
"She is my lighter half and what happens to her affects me also. I'm just making sure that she is safe."
"Is that why you wanted to be free from the temple?"
"Yes, I could feel all of her moods sense she came here. Once I was free I could help her out if she needs it," He says before vanishing again.
I go to bed and think about what Dark said. If he is as strong as Link then he could get close to killing me if he needed too. This is going to make me very paranoid! I head to sleep and when I wake up everything is back to normal.
Two Months Later.
I wake up already hating the day. It is Valentines day and the castle is throwing a ball for the holiday. I get up later than normal and I thought I was safe. Navi found some way to get inside my room and is meowing nonstop. I regret buying the monster for Link at this point and bring it downstairs to her. Link is wearing a pink dress and is running around looking for something when I found her.
"Oh thanks! I was trying to find her all morning!" Link grabs Navi and puts a red bow on her.
"What's up with the dress?" I ask. I found out that Link hates the color pink as much as dresses and she is wearing both.
"The others forced me to wear it," Link says miserably.
"How did they do that?" I ask knowing that a few servants couldn't take down Link.
"They died all my cloths pink when I was sleeping and I have no time to clean the die off!" Link looks like she is ready to kill someone and I back away a bit.
"Okay I see. What are you doing today anyway?" I hope she isn't doing anything so we can do something together.
"Cleaning and getting everything ready for the ball. Lots of people are out with their 'friends' so I have to do a lot." My hopes shattered.
"No one else can do that?" I ask her.
"If you let me do them then I will be done in a hour or so!" Link shouts. She walks off mumbling to herself and Navi follows her. I go outside to see what the stable is doing. I head to Epona's stall and they have a ring of roses around her neck and a red saddle on her back.
"Good morning your highness," The two hands Tom and Tim say as I approach.
"And to you also. What did you do to Epona?" I ask them and they brighten.
"We're helping you!" They say with glee.
"How?" I don't see how dressing a horse helps me.
"We know your going to try and be with Link today," Tom says.
"She will like Epona all dressed up so we thought it might help," Tim finishes. They walk of and talk about random things and I see some movement in the corner of my eye. Of course it is Dark and he is still cocky.
"Nice. I'm glad that they didn't use pink or Link would kill you."
"I think you want that to happen," I say to him.
"Maybe a little but she likes blue bells." With that he disappears and I heavily sigh. This guy just vanishes in the middle of conversations a lot. Dark may be right about the blue bells though and seeing that I have nothing else to do I went and got some.
I get back to the castle and I see Link sitting and petting Navi when Dark comes out of nowhere. Instead of talking to me though he goes to Link. I listen in and he looks at me but goes to talk to her.
"What are you doing Light?" He asks her.
"Waiting for Ganon," Link says and I'm a little surprised by it.
"Why? Isn't he keeping you here?" Dark knows the answer to that.
"Not really..." Link says looking away.
"Then why stay?" Dark asks her.
"It's complicated, I know he likes me because he said so. I do too, but I can't help but feel like something bad will happen," Link says.
"Well your courage so I would think you to toss caution to the wind."
"Hey! I'm just trying to be a little cautious so leave me alone."
"Alright," Dark says but before he leaves he whispers something in her ear and disappears.
