(Y/N)'s POV

I stand alone, at the castle's terrace. My mind is in a whirl, but on the outside, it seems, my expression is calm. My (e/c) eyes looking at the starry night, at the vast prairie, feeling the breeze of cold air against my skin. My (h/l) (h/c) hair blowing away with the wind; I breathe in the air, feeling the cold in my nostrils. I attempt to recollect everything that happened to me, the reason why I am now in this hell hole with a cold blooded, heartless demon; the so called 'Prince of Darkness', Dark Link. His features can make you shiver but are also strangely alluring. He has bloodless pale skin, red blood-lust filled eyes that everyone feared, and sharp, canine-like teeth.

The reason why I fell in this pit is because of my responsibility as a Princess, I know it seems terrible, but I must do this. It is my duty. Before all of this, I was living a perfect life in Hyrule castle with my loving Mother and Father, my beautifully perfect sister, Zelda, and of course my boyfriend; The Hero of Time, Link.

*Flash Back*

Light and Dark were at war, many lives were lost in horrid bloodshed. Families, children, a lot of innocent people died because of this war, and it was killing me, I couldn't handle it, mostly knowing that Zelda and Link were also in war. One day, when Link returned from a fight, he was all bloody and injured. A deep cut crossed his torso, and would surely leave a scar. Despite everything, this brought me to tears.

Knowing that I was only at the castle, my sister and boyfriend out there at war sacrificing their blood and sweat for their people.. It killed me inside. If Zelda died then I would inherit the throne, so I was the backup protection for the country, being guarded like a precious jewel. This hurt more than anything, feeling like I would be worth nothing unless my only sibling died. I could never wish death upon her, and here I am, sitting around and watching the war on opposite elements. I feel extremely useless; a Princess is supposed to protect her people, that is her responsibility. Nightmares taunted me, nightmares of people being killed in front of me: friends, family, my people, all slaughtered while I could do nothing but watch. This war must be taking a toll after all..

Till one day, the Prince of Darkness decided to visit us. Because of the bad terms stemming from the war, the security around the castle is very high; every guard's eyes are on Dark Link.

Mother, Father, Zelda and Link, and I watch Dark Link as he walks along the carpeted path towards us in our respected thrones, Me, beside Mother. Zelda, beside Father, and Link beside me; holding my hand tightly. The walk alone was apprehensive. What could he possibly want? Would he negotiate an end to this war? Growing closer and closer, a guard eventually stopped him. "That's far enough. Speak your business." The authoritative voice was punctuated with a spear. Dark Link only seemed amused at this, nodding his false courtesy and looking back at us.

He respectively bowed at us, as he rose he wore a evil grin. Looking at us one by one, He seemed to be sizing up and judging every person in the room. Feeling acutely nervous since his eyes stopped at me, I tried to keep an emotionless expression as I returned the look. However, he continued looking at me deeply, his glare making me melt. Link noticed it, he glared at his doppelgänger angrily, which only made him smirk in victory as I looked away.

"I would like to speak to the King and Queen in private" Dark Link said as he looked at Mother and Father. This made me sit up straighter. Privately? This could not lead to anything good.

"Zelda, (y/n) and Link, kindly go to your rooms." My Mother's sweet voice held no room for indecision, for hesitation, for disobedience. She was terrified. Yet her voice didn't waver, I admired her for that. If my mother could be calm in this time, so could I.

Zelda quickly stood up, following our Mother's order, but as for me, I hesitantly stood up, I really don't trust Dark Link, what is his reason for coming here? Why did he need to speak to my parents alone? Why couldn't he speak with all of us? Would he kill my parents? These questions almost physically burden me as I get up slowly, looking at Dark Link curiously. For the moment, he seemed to be preoccupied with slowly crushing a ladybug between his fingers. I shuddered.
