A.N= I worked pretty hard on this chapter, but I still think it's not too good… Maybe I'm so depressed with lack of reviews… SO REVIEW PEOPLE! =D
Ps- sorry I couldn't update sooner… FanFiction had some error problem. I couldn't even log on for crying out loud! So yeah… sorry!
(Midna's POV) Midna got up from the bench. She looked at her people busily walking about. Central circle was much more busier these days. The Twili ran quickly to some unknown place as Midna stood there, none of them acknowledging her existence. It felt as though something was wrong, but when she looked around she found nothing out of place. It was a peaceful day in the Twilight Realm.
"It would make sense for it to be raining in Hyrule today," Midna reasoned. "It's karma. Since Link ruined my heart, peace reigned in the Twilight. So it should be raining."
Some people stared at Midna with confused expressions, wondering if their princess was mental for talking to herself. She walked over to the Mirror of Twilight and felt herself dissolving as it transported her back to the world of light.
****************************************************************************************************
It wasn't raining, but Midna couldn't tell if it was nice or not because there wasn't anything in Gerudo's Desert except sand. So she transported herself to Lake Hylia.
To Midna's dismay, it was a beautiful day in Hyrule too, perhaps prettier than the Twilight Realm. The skies were blue with only few clouds in sight, the trees were a dark green, and the birds chirped happily as they sat in their nests. The water gleamed against the reflection of the sun, and the waterfall leading from Zora's Domain made a calming sound as it crashed into the water below.
"Why did I have to be a descendant of evil people?!" Midna yelled to the sky.
Suddenly a lone gunshot rang out through the air. A long, nerve raising silence followed it. It felt a lot louder than regular silence, but nothing was heard. The water slowing crashing against the banks of the little islands didn't sound so appealing anymore.
Then something broke the silence. It was a louder bang and made Midna jump at least three feet. It didn't stop this time though- they continued.
Tranquility didn't exist in Hyrule anymore.
******************************************************************************************************
(Link's POV) The gunshots continued as Link ran to get his horse, Ilia trying to follow without blood splattering everywhere.
Link jumped on Epona from behind to get a running headstart, but she kept bucking and rearing because she was so spooked by the noises ringing out from Nayru knows where.
Link gave up trying to seize her and jumped off in the direction of Faron Woods.
"So I save the world one day, finally get to sleep in my own house, then I'm back out saving it the next," Link muttered.
He crossed the bridge, and when he got across it, it snapped in two. Link looked all around him and saw a cannon in the trees. All the weapons he had was what could fit into his pocket, and what he could carry on his back or belt loop. He had his sword and shield of course, his bow and about 60 arrows, his boomerang, the clawshots, and the Dominion Rod. All the rest were gone when Midna's helmet was crushed. The spinner, the ball and chain, bombs, all gone. Well, they might be on Hyrule Field somewhere, but there were no promises.
He took out his bow and aimed it at the man with the cannon. "Who are you?" Link called. The man was situated behind a tree on top of the hill, and did not respond.
"I have my arrows aimed at you! Now turn around and fight, or leave and prove to me the coward you are!"
To that, the man unsheathed his sword and jumped off the cliff in front of Link.
"No one calls me coward!" and swung his sword.
Link backflipped just in time for the man's sword to narrowly miss his feet. He put his bow on it's hook on his back and took out his shield and sword as well.
The man dropped his sword upon eye of Link's shield.
"I'm sorry! Please spare me, o Legendary Hero!" the man pleaded as he fell to his knees.
Link sheathed his sword and looked at his shield. The Triforce in the middle had given him away.
"Why do you fight?" Link demanded. "And who are you?"
"My name is Erik," the man began, "and I fight for Hyrule."
"Who are you against?"
"M-monsters…"
Monsters? Weren't the monsters all gone?
"Then why did you shoot at me?"
"I'm sorry, sire! It's just that I'm very nervous, and I tend to hit anything I see when I'm nervous…"
"Well, that bridge must be fixed. Hire someone or do it yourself, but I must get back there eventually," Link commanded.
"Yes, sire! Are you on your way to see Princess Zelda?" Link didn't know what he was going to do about all of this, but Zelda seemed like a good place to start.
"Yes, I am. Is she still in Castle Town?"
"No, actually. She is hidden. Her guards took her away to save her, but the princess did not want to leave. She wanted to talk to the princess of darkness, but the soldiers thought she was going insane."
The princess of darkness is Midna. Does she know something about this? Link decided to go back to the Twilight Realm to Midna. Hey, anything to see her again.
…Little did he know that she had turned against him… (Dun dun dun dun…!)
(Midna's POV) I've GOT to get out of here! It sounds so loud… they could be right behind me! Midna did a swift 180 and saw nothing, except trees and water. The more edgy she got, the more she was going to shred anyone that talked to her. But the princess decided to stick around. If Link died…
Midna imagined something killing Link… a knife, a sword, bomb, whatever it may be, she was going to kill the person who did it.
What if he's already dead?! Midna warped herself to Ordon Spring and dashed to Link's house. Ilia was standing there, and she was staring right at her.
"Who… who are you?" Ilia asked. Midna could tell she was trying to be brave, but it didn't work.
"I am a messenger for Princess Zelda," Midna lied, "and I need to find the Legendary Hero, Link."
Ilia looked at her. Not blankly, like she was dumb, but she was suspicious.
"You're lying to me," she stated.
"You're right, I am. Now tell me where Link is!" Midna pleaded.
"No!" Ilia yelled.
Midna came before her and smacked her hard on her cheek, and Ilia staggered back.
"Tell me, or I'll-"
"Okay! I'll tell you! Just… just don't hurt me!" Ilia begged.
Midna chuckled and remembered the first time she met Link as a wolf.
"You humans are obedient to a fault, huh?" Midna teased. That was the same thing she said to Link in Hyrule Castle's dungeon.
"You… you're Link's friend… aren't you?" Ilia asked.
Midna watched her warily.
"He… he wanted me to tell you something… When I was talking to Link on the ranch, he briefly told me about you. You were mysterious at first, but then you became such a close friend that he couldn't be without you. It wasn't that way with me, no matter how much I wanted it to. But… Link said that he…"
Ilia paused. If you added some dramatic music in here, it would make it so much more pathetic than it really was.
"Loved you."
Midna almost gasped. She almost felt her heart stop beating. She almost died, but she didn't want to admit that to herself.
The gunshots were still firing, and Midna got heated up all over again. The soft moment was gone, and she remembered Link.
"Where's Link?!" Midna demanded.
"I think… I think he went to see you…" Ilia stammered.
Midna dashed off in the other direction so Ilia wouldn't see her warp. Ilia probably knew that it was Midna spying on them, but she didn't want her to be reminded. Running back to Ordon Spring, she warped herself when her foot touched the water.
Arriving at Arbiter's Grounds, there was a team of soldiers there. They all aimed their guns at Midna, but some kept their cannons and such on the Mirror of Twilight.
"Wait! I'm not a bad person!" Midna screeched. "Don't shoot!"
They didn't move their weapons an inch. "You come from the opposite world!" one of the shouted. "And we're going to destroy the passage from the great kingdom of Hyrule to the banished world!" the soldier turned to the man with the cannon. "FIRE!"
In that moment, everything was ruined. Her friends and family, gone. Her most loyal subjects, gone. She couldn't get back to the kingdom she loved.
And worse, she was stuck here with blondie. Two blondies, to be exact…
Midna ran back towards the wall of the chamber. The dust and fog were so thick; it made it hard to breathe. Footsteps pounded towards her, and someone seized her arms.
Rage stormed through her, making her shake. She dug her nails into her flesh to keep from punching the man, but the fury rampaged on throughout her body, leaving a burnt trail as it went.
She couldn't take it any longer. It felt as though electricity raced through her, and the man let go of her with a yelp. Midna turned to see him staring at his hands, which were now turning purple.
"You!" he cried, glaring at Midna. "You did this! You possess evil magic!"
I did that? I can create… electricity?!
Bewildered, she did it again. She noticed a faint light blue color flowing towards her fingertips, and she poked her other arm.
Nothing happened.
Maybe… Maybe I can only do it to other people?
The dust cleared to give Midna some vision, and she noticed someone walking towards her.
Green clothes.
LINK! Um, I mean… ugh. Link.
She couldn't stay mad with him for very long. She tried to imagine the broken mirror that she couldn't see, Zant, or Ilia to make her mad again.
"Midna!" Link yelled. "Midna I-"
"Save your breath," Midna muttered.
Link looked at her when he had reached her. Her gleaming red eyes were more narrowed than he had seen them before.
"Midna, you've got to listen to me! There's a war-"
"Shut up!" Midna didn't mean to shout, but she looked the other way to avoid Link's expression.
His voice became softer now. "Midna… please. I know you're hurt."
"Hurt?!" Midna cried, still not looking at him. "Why would I be hurt? I could clearly see that you love that girl, and I accept it. So why should I be hurt?!" She didn't decide to bring up the little conversation Ilia and she had before she had left.
"You can't have it both ways, Midna. I kiss you once, and you tell me off later. I kiss someone else, and you get pissed off."
There's a difference between a peck on the cheek and a full-blown makeout, buddy.
Midna grit her teeth. The dust hadn't cleared yet, and if the mirror was broken she was going to slug Link if he was still here.
"What are you thinking about?" Link asked casually.
I'm thinking that if you don't leave, your nose won't be on your face anymore. "What the hell are you talking about?"
"Just… answer."
"I'm thinking what life would be like if none of this wouldn't have happened," Midna lied.
"Then I wouldn't have met you," Link said coolly.
But you'd still be able to see your nose.
Midna didn't respond, and she was still looking away.
"Why don't you just leav-" Midna was interrupted by Link suddenly putting one arm around her waist and one arm behind her neck. He put his lips to hers, and held her more tightly.
Midna was taken aback. The fog was starting to clear, only to end up in her mind. She felt dizzy, but sucked in some air through her nose, which helped.
Then she felt angry. Midna squirmed against him until he finally pulled away.
For a split second, time froze. Midna looked over at the Mirror of Twilight to see it still intact, and when she realized she could move, she ran up the steps to the platform and up the invisible steps it displayed.
Link followed her, pink in the face. It was night time- time had flown. It was hard to see Midna against the black of night, but the mirror illuminated her body.
The mirror shined the light on Midna, and the team of soldiers scrambled over to her. Some drooled, but some turned their heads.
"Two-faced bastard," Midna said to Link as the mirror carried her away.
