Chapter 9~ Waking Up

~Dark Link~

I awoke in a place full of light. Something that would've irritated me beyond belief. My head swam as I tried to remember what had happened. I was running in a forest… Was I with someone? Not that I had remembered.

Wait….

I was.

It was a… girl?

Yes, a girl. I then knew who it was.

It was my flower. My Freesia.

She had protected… HOLY DEKU NUTS!! She was bitten by that bitchy little spider!!! No, no ,no ,no ,no ,no ,no ,no ,no ,no ,no ,no ,no ,no , NO!!!
I began to sit up, but a soft hand pushed against my sore shoulder.

"Careful, Dark One. You sprained your arm," the voice said gently.

I looked up to see Sheik, his red eyes soft and…. Caring.

"Wh-what happened?" I asked him worriedly.

Sheik looked away, his face unsure for a moment. "Well," he began, "if you remember anything before you passed out, I'm sure you saw Freesia get… bitten."

I looked away and frowned. "How can I forget? She saved my life…" I looked back to him, my soul pleading for more information. "How is she though?"

Sheik was fidgeting with his fingers. "She asleep right now… But we're not sure…" he trailed off.

I glanced at him swiftly. "Not sure about what?" I asked.

Sheik looked up. "A lot of people have encountered Queen Ghoma," he explained, "and not many of them survived."

I knew it. She had died… His sick version of her 'sleeping' was her death…

"But," he continued.

I looked up at him, a new hope rising in me.

Sheik looked down at me, "There are several ways this could turn out. She could die, go through a terrible fever and maybe live through it, or possibly contain a power that no one in this world can have."

"What power is that?" I asked.

Sheik shook his head. "Not sure. Many people died from backfire. One person had the sight to see people. The other one was able to talk to the dead and the last one heard the whispers… But each one died for unknown causes."

I paled at these words. "So either way, Freesia is going to die?!"

Sheik shook his head, "Seems like it. But we're trying our hardest to keep her alive!"

I stared at him. "I'm sorry… we?" I questioned.

Sheik's head turned to the door and in moved the one person I thought I'd never see…

"Hello, Dark." The voice greeted gently.

I froze. "You."

~Freesia~

Darkness had surrounded me after the bite. My body went completely numb and the last thing I thought to my self was these certain sentence:

"I love you, Dark."

…………

I awoke, my arm sore and my body not capable of moving. I twitched, frustrated. Where was Dark? Where was Sheik? And where…. Where was Sebastian?

My heart ached as I thought of Dark. Was he okay?

And Sebastian… If I ever wake up, his ass is getting KICKED.

Woah, calm it down a little bit, Freesia, I told myself, maybe that spider killed him… Or maybe it killed me.

I froze. If I was dead… What would my family think? Would they even know? And what about Dark? Did he make it out? And Zelda… Did she find Link?

I slipped deeper into darkness again. Just sleep it off, Freesia… Maybe this'll end soon…

Yes… Sleep…

Sorry it's short; I kinda have a funeral to go to now… yeah…. I'll publish another one… Soon.
Love you faithful people.

"There is no such thing as just 'darkness'. There are three different types of dark. There's the fake dark, dark with patches of light here and there, and then pure blackness that flashes light every now and then…" –Freesia (in a chapter somewhere in the next chapter that I'm starting…)
