Link charged at the cloaked man, ready for the kill. He sent a slice the hooded man's way.
He blocked with a sword of his own, it was exactly like the guilded sword, except it was a shiny black.
The man threw off his cloak, revealing Link's worst nightmare;
It was a boy exactly his age, his fluffy grey hair just like Link's.
Red eyes, a black tunic, a black shield and sword.
It was Dark Link.
Link was astonished.
He had killed Dark Link in the Water Temple.
"I know what you're thinking…" The dark copy said.
"Whatever."
This fight was on.
Link sent a stab to the stomach, but Dark Link blocked, pulling back for another blow.
Link sent sword slash after sword slash at Dark Link, but he never got one hit in on him.
Link gradually got more and more tired. Link was exhausted, and Dark Link took advantage of that, sending a stab into Link's left shoulder.
"Ahhhhhhhh!" He cried in pain.
If Saria could scream, she most certainly would.
Dark Link pulled the sword out of Link's shoulder, causing Link stagger back, dropping his great fairy sword.
Then Dark Link raised his sword up, then paused.
"I was going to kill you now, but I'd like to let you see your girlfriend die first." He said.
"Oh no you don't!" Link yelled, Saria could see the rage in his eyes.
Link caught Dark Link off guard, and he kicked him back, causing him to lose his balance, then he stabbed him in the stomach with the guilded sword.
Dark Link stumbled back, falling to the ground.
But for some reason he was smiling.
"We'll meet again, Link." He said before disappearing in black smoke.
Link spotted Saria and limped towards her, and pulled the tape off of her mouth, and the sat down to untie her.
He had blood and bruises all over him, his tuning was ripped, his sword was dripping blood, his hat had disappeared, and he had a very bloody left shoulder.
Wow, that was amazing, he did that all for me.
Stop it! You shouldn't feel this way!
"That was amazing back there." She said to him as he untied her.(A little clumsy since he couldn't use his left hand, and he's left handed.)
"Thanks." He said, catching his breath.
He must be tired.
Link finished untying Saria, got his great fairy sword, and they walked back to her house.
"Well goodnight, Link, and thanks again." She said.
"Yeah, can I stay here tonight? I'm too tired to make it back to the castle." He asked.
"Sure."
"Great." He said, then he collapsed, out cold.
Zelda was worried.
Link usually returned by now.
Where could he be?
She was in her bed, but she couldn't sleep.
I know he's alright, but where could he be?
It was morning in the Kokiri Forest, and Saria was sleeping on the couch, while Link slept in the bed.
Saria woke up, Link was still sleeping contently on the bed.
Last night she had bandaged his shoulder with part of his tunic that was laying in the woods, but she imagined it still hurt a great deal.
Then Mido came in.
"Saria, the Deku Sprout wants you."
