"Are you okay?" I asked, she looked up and smirked devilishly

"Yes, miss..."

\\now/

"H-huh?!" I stepped away. My heart was racing, my legs would refuse to move any farther than that one step. I stared at the girl wide eyed, shaking in fear. My head pounded and screamed for me to move, but it just wouldn't!

The girl stepped closer and quicker towards me, her skin getting paler by the second, smile getting creepier, eyes growing bloodshot, and hair turning black. Resembling... A shadow much but... More scary.

"Can you help me find my mummy? Heehehehee or we could play~" she jumped at me.

I shut my eyes as tight as I could, fear was rushing over me. I was shoved to the ground, I didnt care anymore... It was too much... My heart racing, about to jump out of me, my eyes watering about to cry, my throat became dry and I couldn't make a sound. I couldn't comprehend what what's going on.

Waiting for the girl to hurt me, nothing happened... I peaked open one eye and saw, shadow...? Why was he here? I was pinned on the ground, him acting like a shield. Me? I blushed of course... Furiously

"Tch, incompetent... You idiot, what exactly were you thinking!?" He stared down at me, staring back and I squeaked.

It began to rain, the dark clouds looking ominous, glaring through my soul. The cold droplets landed on shadow's back, with me under him... Not so wet. I pushed him off of me with a tight hug and began to cry. I was so scared... Fearful of the fact that I would die. I didn't care if he saw me as weak, or a cry baby... I just needed him at this exact moment.

"Thank you" I choked in between my sobs.

Shadow felt tense, but started to awkwardly hug me back, fickle about whether he should actually touch me.

"Idiot"

I let go and smiled "why in Hyrule did you save me?"

He snickers "pfft I wasn't saving you, it's not like you're worth the effort anyways"

That moment my heart shattered... You could even pin the point when my face paled. Am I really... Not worth the effort? I went through the torture of the grim girl trying to almost kill me to only have something worse happen. I liked Shadow... I could not deny it, And he didn't feel the same way? Were our fights with each other truly hateful? When we called each other names it was out of disgust?

Too many questions and flicked feelings of grim, heartbroken, sadness, fear whirled inside of me

I stood. I just needed to think, I need someone to comfort me. That person was Shadow... But not anymore...

The wind picked up as I ran. I don't know where, nor did I care where I was going... But when you're in too much fear and pain your body just refuses, because we need the comfort and our brain just tells us to sit and wait for at least something or someone to help.

"Stupid, I'm right here"

I snapped my neck around quickly and glared straight into his eyes.

"Wooooowww soooo scaarry" he pretends to scream.

"Shut UP SHADOW!" My fist curled up tight as he continues to tease me.

"I SAID... SHUT. UP!" My fist about to hit him in the chest, hard, and in anger... Like the person I am, but it just turned on me... Too weak and tired, just a pat with a fist. I continued and kept going, trying to get my force and anger to reach out, grab him by the throat and just kill him... But of course I wouldn't want that to happen...why?

My constant 'punches' were grabbed by his hands, as I glared and went wide eyed as he pulled me into a hug

"Don't even say anything, stupid"
