Legends Live On

Chapter 12: Shadow Lullabies

I just decided not to include the bottom of the well and just imply he went. I've really no ideas for it at this moment. Theres guys on the internet who are getting the bottom of their feet tattoo'd....... Frankly people are stupid.

Link watched around and walked further into the Shadow temple, not seeing the giant pit below.

"Whoa!" Link shouted, just barely grabbing onto the edge in time, "Phew... That was too close." He scrambled back upto the ledge and sat with his legs dangling over into the black void.

He could almost see her gleaming green eyes down there... The green clad hero sighed in relief again and got up onto the ledge, "How many times am I going to have to save people?" He asked himself, hookshotting towards the other ledge.

"Let's not do that again and say we did." He chuckled and looked around.

"I'm screwed..." Link sighed and walked towards the first door he saw, "Im.. totally screwed."

Sora's POV

Sora woke up and felt numb. Her limbs not responding to her movements, she felt like she was wearing armor too small for her body.

Her body felt light however, which was unpleasing to say the least, Sora felt suspended by nothing. Invisible chains around her wrists and ankles, pinning her to the spot.

She was trapped within her own body.

She felt like she was choking in the darkness and it scared her to death she struggled to gasp, to breathe even. She was willing to do anything just to be able to suck in a breath without the sensation of being strangled.

Knowing Ganon, he had her under his filthy control, and while he loved it.. She was hating every moment of it. Just knowing that the perverted villain was even near her made bile rise from her throat.

Fighting the bile back down was tougher in the position she was in. She knew she wasn't awake, but she also knew she was alone and in a singular room. One that she knew was easy to get to but also unsuspected of the green clad hero.

But, the only question nagging the Canadian teen's mind was.....

Where was Link?

Link's POV

Link panted as his legs gave out from under him. He recognized the area from the bottom of the well... However there were no familiar hands.

He gasped as Sora, the girl he had been looking for, dropped down like a rock. Her eyes closed and a sword positioned infront of her as if she were a statue.

Seems as if Ganon had fun with her.

Link got up and poked her forehead, "Sora?"

"G-get away..... I... Dont want....... Hurt.... Link..." Sora barely whispered trying to control herself only to then scream in pain as Ganon's control over took her senses again. Her eyes turned red and she glared at the man before her.

Sora growled and charged at him, meeting her sword with his. Clashing was all that sounded in the temple for a good hour. Clash on clash, knowing that she fully let Ganon control her.

Link thought for a moment and let himself get beaten a little by the girl, showing Ganon how 'weak' he was.

Letting her get a few more hits on him he finally looked at her with a fierce look in his normally gentle blue eyes.

"Sora, calm down!" he shouted, parrying her attack, she was never good with a sword. Even with daggers she wasn't very good. traveling with her for this long hes learned many things about her.

The frail girl lunged herself at him, revealing to the boy that she was slightly in control. Wondering what she was doing, the Hero of Time stepped back. Link felt the sword be positioned and felt it plunge into something, the man was afraid to look down at what had happened. He heard a gasping sound and hesitantly  looked down to see his sword plunged through Sora, her blood dripping from the end of the blade. 

His eyes filled with tears as he fumbled to keep her upright, knowing that she had sacrificed herself to keep him alive for at least one more day. 

His friend. 

Link heard her breathing slightly slow a bit, showing that she was still alive and in pain. 

"Pull it out.." She whispered softly, "I'll be okay.." 

Link shook his head and looked down at her, "No.. I won't.... You're the only friend I have left..." He whimpered softly, feeling another tear escape his eyes. 

"DO IT!" She demanded, "Finish the job!" she too was crying now. 

Link quickly pulled the Master Sword out of Sora and he heard her gasp and felt her lean into him. She looked up at him with dulling eyes as she sang something he couldn't understand, as her throat was growing hoarse. 

"Simple and clean is the... way.... that you're... making me feel... tonight... its hard... to... let... it....... go.." 

His breath hitched in his throat as she stopped singing and her body fell limp in his arms. 

Sora, was gone. 

Link gently put her to the side and screamed to the heavens, "Ganon! Do you hear me!? You will pay for what you made me do!" After laying down next to the girl he had called his friend and layed down falling asleep for the last time next to his dear friend. 

Reworked this chapter. Wooooo progress.
