I only own:

Ralia • Sallie • Kain • Ambre

"Ralia…wake up."

Someone was shaking her gently awake, it was morning and the pillows covering her had been cast aside. Slowly she opened her eyes, which was surprisingly difficult; her eyes were dry from crying the night before.

"Ralia, please wake up, I'm sorry." The apology was barely a whisper, the sight before her had unfolded, and Link was there. Except his hair was different, as were his eyes, skin, and his composure had changed, this difference scared Ralia. She didn't feel safe and from what she had heard last night she had no reason to feel protected either. This guy's hands were on hers now, gently caressing the back of her hand with his thumbs, "Ralia…" The man spoke again, she knew the voice she knew the touch, but she didn't know the man and she was very uncomfortable. Dark reached with his left hand up to stroke her cheek, "Ralia…" She didn't know this man and frankly she didn't want him anywhere near her, let alone her face. She slapped the hand away, "Don't touch me!" she shouted pushing herself further into the pillows behind her, hastily trying to distance her from this so called Link. Unable to control her rage, Ralia screamed at Dark, "Don't you dare touch me! I heard everything last night! Everything! You're not Link! You're just a copy, you were made only to kill my friend Link, and I know him! And my best friend loves him! I knew you were different I knew it! I can't believe I ever fell for a freak like you!" Ralia started to hit Dark Link's chest, tears streaming down her cheeks, he didn't move, he did nothing to nothing to halt Ralia's pounding fists.

"Ralia…please." There was no sharp tone, nor was there any threatening warning, the only emotion in his voice was that of caring, guilt and apologetic. However Ralia was oblivious to the change of Dark Link, all she saw through her teary eyed vision was a man who had been sent to kill her childhood friend, not to mention he hurt her best friend for no other reason then for fun. He had also attempted to get in her pants, the bastard. It wasn't fair, she still didn't even like the blonde haired Link he was too good boy for her tastes, not to mention the fact Sallie was head-over-heels in love with him. Even so she still found herself falling for this evil man. Her arms were growing tired of the repeated punches to Dark Link's chest, but she did not falter, she had to hurt him!

"Ralia...please…let me explain." He was pleading with her now, this only angered her more. "No! I don't want to hear it! Let me leave!" He did not.

Dark Link's patience grew thin as Ralia continued to punch his chest, "Ralia…please, calm down." If the punching girl was less angry and more observant she would've noticed the warning in his voice. "Fuck you no!" She spat.

Suddenly two strong hands grabbed her arms (probably tighter then they should've) and pushed them down next to her side, "Din damn! Just let me explain please!" he yelled annoyed and pissed off. Ralia wide-eyed with surprise and shock, was momentarily silent as she pondered whether he was actually worth listening to. However Dark Link wasn't one to wait and took the silence as an advantage. "Look Ralia, I'm sorry you had to hear what you heard but I swear I don't want to hurt you or your friends." He let an exasperated sigh and gave Ralia a warning glance who was opening her mouth to object, "Before you ask who I am, let me answer. To be honest I don't really know who I really am, I do know that don't have a real name; I am Ganondorf's right hand-I am his loyal servant." At this Ralia's eyes widened with fear, confirming a suspicion, "I have been ordered to stay here and take the place of Link until either Ganondorf kills him or-"

"You'll kill him."

Ralia stared deep into Dark Link's eyes for a minute there was silence until Dark whispered a reply, "Yes." Silence again followed by a stare-off. A single tear caught the attention of Shadow Link, he watched as the droplet coursed down her cheek. Ralia noticed the distracted Link and took the opportunity to escape. Quickly she pulled one arm from the man's grasp and slapped him right across the face. Dark exhaled slowing, trying to keep the rage boiling inside him hidden as he turned back to the girl, "I'm not done talking." "I'm done listening." She shot back.

Dark Link stared at Ralia, "You're right, I'm not Link, hell I'm not even my own person, I am a copy of another man! But. I am a real being, maybe a clone-but by Din's fire I am alive! And I know you have feelings for me." His damn smirk couldn't hide from his face when he mentioned the girl's affection.

"How can you say that?!" Ralia retorted.

"Why else would you stay here to make sure I was okay? Don't lie to me Ralia, I know you liked the kiss, if you didn't you wouldn't be here." Ralia sighed trying desperately to calm down, "Yes, I did like you, hell I even got Sallie's approval to be here with you-but it is different now."

"Ralia we can still be together." Dark Link interrupted, gripping her hands between his. "I really like you, please ignore what you heard last night and give me a chance to prove myself, please." He looked at her with pleading eyes.

"You know for a villain you are quite pitiful." Ralia grinned, "But I can't. You plan to kill a close friend of mine and you follow the worst kind of man. How could I possibly overlook the fact you are a servant to Ganondorf?!" Dark quickly loosing his temper grimaced at her, "Do you not understand the severity of my situation? Either I obey and live, or I betray him and die."

"Either situation you will die! Don't you know that?!" Ralia screamed at him silently, she could not bear to speak her thoughts aloud. Instead she pulled her hands gently from Link's grasp, "I'm sorry… this was a different situation and you were not who you are then I would've said yes, but I just can't. If I did I would betray everything I believe in." She whispered while getting up and leaving Dark sitting alone, "I'm sorry…Goodbye." And she was gone out the door.

"Ralia…"

The distressed girl walked home mentally exhausted and still trying to comprehend what she just endured. She arrived back at the house, only to find a note waiting for her from Sallie, "Hey Ralia, I hope you a good time last night *wink* anyway I had to take the new dog to the river near the mayors house, that dog needs to be cleaned ugh he smells awful! See you there…maybe?" Ralia smiled, typical Sallie. She sighed heavily, silently refusing her friends offer silently. Instead she simply walked into her room and flopped herself onto her bed and wept openly until she fell asleep and dreamt of Dark Link.
