"Shiek, Sheik wake up." I couldn't make out the voice, but it had a nice sound to it. Something was shaking me back and forth. My instincts kicked in and I was on top of whoever was touching me. My eyes were open now, but everything came in a blur.
Once my eyes adjusted I saw who was under me. "Dark!" I moved off of him. I was so happy he was the one that had found me. Dark was my best friend. We shared the same crimson eyes and neither of us were seen as normal. "I am sooo sorry! If I had known it was you" He cut me off with a hug, it hurt to move and him hugging me didn't feel well, but I tried not to show it. Instead I returned it and we just stayed like that, hugging in the floor.
"Was it Zelda again?" I turned away from the question and started to get up. He pulled me back down and I couldn't keep the groan in. I knew he would notice. "Sheik." He gave me a stern look. "What hurts?"
"Just my stomach. It isn't nothing too bad, just leave it be." I tried to get up again, but before I could respond he had lifted my shirt.
"Sheik! My Goddess!" I looked down and what I saw was not a pretty picture. A huge black and purple bruise with blue and yellow around the edges covered my torso. I could feel Dark move me off and get up. "Where did she go?! I swear I will kill her!" His rage was getting the better of him.
"Dark. Stop. Please." He turned to me and the anger in his gaze soon turned to fear.
"But…." He looked down and away from me. "Sheik." His tone sounded different, as if he wanted something.
"Yes, Dark?" He hesitated. I couldn't help but find it cute, but my friend was never ugly. He was beautiful. His natural tan would make anyone jealous. Crimson, red eyes that held passion and love, and hair as black as night, as cliche as it sounds.
The only reason we were friends was because of our shared eye color. I wouldn't have opened up to anyone else. Our eyes made us freaks, but without them I would never have trusted Dark. I couldn't help but think back to the first time I met Dark. It was sometime in middle school. I had just lost my parents and didn't do anything.
