It's quite short but you know what? This stuff takes ages to write! I'm amazingly slow. :D

Link

I rode upon Epona as I travelled through the lost woods, Navi leading ahead, illuminating the darkness of the woods as she fluttered along nonchalantly.

Eventually, light from the sun came sprawling through the tips of the trees as they became fewer, then the trees all departed and the vast field of Hyrule came into view. Epona huffed gently at the sudden change of brightness as we continued forward.

"We'll have to head north-east before we can continue north-west: There's a bridge that leads over Lake Hylia that we must cross." Navi informed, leading ahead towards north-east.

"You better not be leading me into a trap..." I stated suspiciously.

"Why would I do that? I already told you: I need to find Zelda aswell."

"Why do you need to find Zel- Uh... The princess?"

She gave me a questioning look before proceeding, "Because... I want to ask her something." She dismissed.

"About what?"

"...I-it's private."

I raised an eyebrow skeptically at her odd behaviour. "Fine." I replied shortly after, giving up on any pointless attempt to change her mind.

We travelled silently along Hyrule field for a short while, untill the bridge came into view...

"Hey! Look, the bridge is just ahead! Do you see it over there in the distance?" She exclaimed, bouncing around in excitement.

"Of course I can see it..." I stated monotonously.

"We're not too far now, I can feel it!" She announced proudly.

"Why are you so happy? You're leading me straight to your friend. Do you want her dead or something?"

"Course not! But you'll see..." She stated mysteriously.

"See what?"

"That we are right, and you are wrong." She smiled to herself.

"What does that mean?"

"You'll see." She repeated.

I sighed in defeat as we reached the bridge, then began making our way across. Whatever she meant by "You'll see" it changes nothing: I will capture the princess and return her to my father, and I won't fail.

The sun began to set over the horizon which was directly to the west of the bridge, its powerful rays casting orange light over the entire land. The sound of Epona's hooves rhythmically trotting against the stone ground and the gentle jingling of bells from Navi's fluttering were the only things audible as we crossed.

"Oh wait. What's that ahead of us?" Navi questioned as she paused in her tracks. I pulled against Epona's reins in order for her to stop before looking over to the end of the bridge to which we were heading towards.

The figure of a human stood at the end, their body facing sideways, in the shadow of the bridge's pillar. One hand appeared to be outstretched in front of them whilst the other was drawn back- the arm bent and hand facing forward.

I watched the figure cautiously- presuming they were going to attack using bow and arrow by their stance.

"Navi get out of the way."

She complied and moved to hover at my side. Not a second later the arrow came whizzing through the air towards me. I tugged at Epona's reins, drawing her to the side. She neighed, moving backwards before standing on her hind legs in fright. The arrow swiftly glided past, merely inches from us.

I tried to settle Epona whilst warily turning to face the figure- who had begun moving forward with another arrow in position. Her Gerudo features became visible in the sun's orange glow: Her hair shone with pure orange in the light, and her dark skin contrasted against her white clothing.

"Finally! What a prize: The privilege of killing Ganondorf's one and only, Goddesses forsaken son." She snarled.

I watched her suspiciously. "What are you talking about? I thought you were on our side, Nabooru."

"Ha! Are you insane? I will never for as long as I live be on the side of that demon of a man! Not after what he did!" She declared venomously, stopping in her tracks four metres away from us.

Navi interjected, "What did he do?"

Her gaze shifted towards the fairy, a sparkle of interest reflecting through her eyes as she carefully studied the small ball of light. The bow lowered in her hands as she began to explain, "He demanded that I left the desert in order to aid him in a search for some instrument called the "Ocarina of Time". I refused: I've never left the desert, it's my home and I didn't feel comfortable in leaving for some pointless search. I thought he would understand and maybe send another... But he turned on me, declaring that I should never refuse the orders of "My superior"" She muffled a dark, spiteful laugh briefly, "Then he threatened me by vowing that he would destroy the entire Gerudo race... From that point I just turned. The way he spoke enraged me to the point that I could've killed him there and then, but he's powerful... too powerful. What made it even worse was that none of the Gerudo had my back: They were all brainwashed into trusting that monster. Not one of them knew of his plot to destroy them... It's so inhuman, how he could ever consider destroying his own race... So now I've been forced into exile. And I promised to myself that I would kill anyone who sides with that devil. That makes you, Link, The ultimate prize since you're the closest living thing to him." Her eyebrows furrowed darkly as she glared with rage, whilst her eyes gently glistened in the orange glow of the sun. The bow in her hand raised and the arrow was repositioned carefully, aiming for my heart.

I'ts so inhuman how he could ever consider destroying his own race... "...Traitor..." I muttered to myself in thought, my eyes focused towards the ground.

"Nabooru please stop!" I heard Navi's voice echo as the bell sound she created when flying jingled rapidly, becoming more distant. Then the sound of a swift swoosh of wind came towards me, I glanced up as Epona whinnied, shifting nervously on her hooves. In the next instant an odd, overwhelming feeling of pain striked my chest, forcing me backwards. I fell from Epona and hit the ground behind her, panting heavily. I clutched my chest around the arrow that now struck through it, hoping to hold back the pain and the blood that came seeping through defiantly.

Epona stood up onto her hind legs and neighed fearfully as I struggled to my knees, squinting from the pain, though my body seemed to be weighed down under a powerful force of gravity, cauing me to fall down against the ground. I lay on my side as blood began to drip from my mouth, and I was hardly able to draw breath into my lungs.

Darkness drew nearer as I became weaker, my eyelids becoming heavier...

A small ball of light appeared above me where all else was dark. "Link!" I heard her say. "Link, get up!" The jingling of small bells echoed through my ears.

I closed my eyes tightly, breathing unsteadily whilst trying to fight the pain as I continued to clutch my chest.

"I can finally have my revenge on Ganondorf after all the suffering he caused for me." I heard Nabooru say darkly, as her footsteps began to slowly approach.

"Wait..." I breathed meekly, attempting to sit up. I managed to hold myself up, though every movement sent waves of pain coursing through my body as I struggled to keep my eyes open.

"Link?" I heard Navi question from my side as Nabooru's footsteps appeared to pause. I clutched my chest with one hand as I slowly pushed myself to my feet with the other, trying to remain as steady as possible, though my balance was hard to keep.

"Link, don't stand up if you don't feel well enough. I don't want you to over exert yourself." Navi said cautiously as she hovered about my head.

I glared icily towards Nabooru as I studied her movements, attempting to hide my pain as best as I could. She watched me with suspicion as she awaited my next action, one end of her lips curled upwards into a mischievous smile as she held her bow firmly out in front of her with another arrow positioned to strike.

"What makes you think, my father, will even care?" I asked sternly, stepping slowly towards the edge of the bridge.

She looked at me puzzled, losing the crooked smile, "What are you talking about?"

"How're you even walking?" Navi added.

"He may be my father... but why should he care, when neither of us, believe in love?" I struggled to say, my back now facing the edge of the bridge as I clutched my chest painfully, my eyes half closed.

Nabooru gazed at me as she lowered her bow, looking lost for words. "...W-what are you doing?" She questioned a moment later.

"Feeling, lost..." I answered, my vision becoming blurry as the pain in my chest blazed like fire. I took a step backwards and felt my body stumble over the edge of the bridge. My arms flew away from my chest as the world turned upside down sending butterflies rocketing through my stomach. The wind pushed up against me like cold knives, and my vision slowly turned black.

"Link!" I heard an echo of my name through the sharp wind from above. Was that Navi? No I don't care, just make this pain stop! I can't open my eyes. Everything feels so distant...

Talk about dramatic... Sheesh Link! So err... Reviews! Here we go.

Evilblood: Yay! You've reviewed every chapter! You're officially my best friend! ^_^ Yeah, whether you like it or not! But anyway thank you soo much, I love reading your reviews! They make me really happy! :D Oh and you know that Death Note anime? Well I watched the first two or three episodes quite a long time ago now and it's really good! But I gave up watching it because my computer always freezes when I try to watch it on any anime site, and when I try Youtube it doesn't freeze as much there but it's usually in Japanese with English subtitles! D: Then after a while that freezes aswell so I got annoyed and gave up. ^_^ I need a new computer... Laptop... Whatever it is.

Idoloni: Thank you for pointing out my errors oh gracious grammar Nazi! ;D The idea for Link being evil is quite simple, but the way he met Zelda originally came from a dream I had! Except it wasn't Link in my dream, it was a vampire. Hmm... I think Twilight is getting to my head with the idea of vampires... By God I hate that film... At least the vampire was an animated character in my dream! And not Edward Cullen. *Shivers*

TwilightWakerofTime: Thanks for your reviews! I do prefer writing comedy because I think I'm better at it but I also like writing dark stories because the idea is interesting! The start is actually alot darker than the future of my story and I think it's not hard to tell what will happen to Link- But then again I know what's going to happen- since there are plenty of hints!

Lupine Eclipse: Yes it's dark to show how Link is evil. ^_^ Thank you. I hope you continue to read my story, my friend!

Jazzmatazz2000: Is it just me or do I see you reviewing everywhere? XD Thank you soo much for that review, it made me so happy to read! ^_^ It gives me hope for my story! :D

SuperninjaX: I'm glad you think so! :D I love how reviews make me smile everytime I read them. ^_^

Sky- Princess of Time: Thanks! It's always good to be reassured. :D

MEAM-neko n.n: Gracias. You've reviewed two of my stories! :D And I like the way you write, it's rather unique! ;)

ZeLinkFanGirl: No worries friend! I'm glad you like it and if it's giving you the shivers then that means my story gives off emotion! :D I so want to make people cry at something I'd written! I think I'll write a tragedy or make this story really sad... *ideas start forming in my crazy mind* :D Do you think my story is written okay? Or are there any parts that you think are awful? It's a good thing I'm not the only one that thinks what I write isn't the best it can be. Thank you for reviewing, you're actually really helpful. ^_^

MissLozSoue39: Thank you! ^_^ What do you mean I left off at the worst point possible? Is that bad? :/ I'm sorry! Also I used the word "Brainwashed" in this chapter! :D ...Not as random as it sounds...

Mysticbreeze327: Thanks. I'd recommend playing Zelda, it's my favourite game ever. :D Oh and just to be clear: Link is originally the hero in Zelda games- he's only evil in my story.

Oh I can't wait to show you all the next chapter! *Is very excited* :D

By the way, Nabooru's speech had special significance along three specific sentences... See if you can spot what I mean! ;)
