3rd Person POV

Dark left you alone in the dark room, you only cried softly as you could still feeling the painful burning sensation in your chest. The burn throbbed as the skin blistered and bubbled up as time went by. The smell of burning flesh filled your nostrils, the pain taking over every bit of your being. It seemed to be all your mind could focus on as your tears streaked down the sides of your face and wet the hair by your temples. You could also feel pain in your wrists and ankles where the chains have wrapped tightly around it. Pulling them continuously had rubbed the skin nearly raw, making the pain worse.

You shivered as you felt the cold against your skin, oh how you wished that you didn't do all of those things. Look what it lead to. You're chained and branded, which you felt ashamed, for Dark claimed you like an animal. Dehumanization was not part of the bargain. As the pain intensifies and fluctuates, you wonder whether this was worth Hyrule. Wait, no! Of course Hyrule is worth this. Link is worth this. My family is worth this. You whimpered as you remembered them, wondering what are they doing now.

Even though Link just visited you awhile ago, you knew he is still devastated that you're now in the grasp of his dark doppelgänger. You wondered about how he would react to this.

You forcefully closed your eyes, hoping that you could sleep. You are still crying, trying to set aside the unbearable pain that you are feeling right now. Unconsciousness would end your pain for a bit.

And Dark was just there, behind the door, listening to your cries and whimpers with a grin. Oh how it just made him satisfied, hearing you cry made him feel good, well, what can we do? He is, after all, a demon. And demons don't need compassion. Dark quietly walked off, going to his room, where he could drift off to sleep, fully satisfied by what he did.

--Morning--

Dark opened his eyes as he felt the sun's blinding light against his eyelids. He got up and started his usual morning routine. Once fully dressed in his signature black tunic, he made his way to the dining hall where he could eat his breakfast. Dark sat in the very end of the long table, where his food was fancily set, making him hungrier. All of Dark's maids and butlers stand in the corner, waiting for their master to finish his meal.

Dark looked around as he quietly ate his food, he looked at the long table, seeing that he is eating by himself made him a little sad, but he hid it with his deadpanned expression. No one needed to pity him.

He finally noticed that you are missing, Dark called two of his butlers from the corner. "Get that spoiled brat Queen of mine from the punishment room." Dark ordered bluntly as he finally finishes his meal.

The two butlers quickly nodded and left. Dark called out his three maids. "Get some food for my undernourished Queen, get as much as possible, I want (y/n) to be stuffed." Dark ordered, the maids nodded and quickly left, hiding their giggles.

The butlers finally came into your room, seeing that you are awake and pale, (e/c) were blank, visible black bags hung under your eyes. You look absolutely hideous.

The butlers quickly unchained you and help you stand up, putting your arms around their shoulders. "Thanks." you mumbled, the butlers only nodded. Your legs shook slightly as you leaned on the butlers.

"Master wants to see you." both of them spoke at the same time, you didn't answer. Right now you simply wanted to leave that awful room.

--

As you entered the dining room you saw Dark, tapping his fingers rhythmically, sitting at the end of the long table. Seeing him made you tremble, remembering what he did to you last night.

Dark saw you with the corner of his eyes, he stood up and dashed towards you. He harshly took your wrists, pulling you. You stumbled forward as he did so and frown slightly. He dragged you and made you sit on a chair, there you faced heaven.

'Food!?' You thought in surprise. Dark made his way towards his seat. You looked at him as he also looked back at you, resting his chin in his palms. His looks made you really uncomfortable, so uncomfortable that it made you lose your appetite to eat.

His cold stare made you frightened, you actually didn't know what to do. You heard his tongue click. "What do you think you're doing? EAT!" He commanded, making you cringe.

Your hands shake as you try to take a piece of bread, but before you can actually have it in your grasp, Dark took it and forcefully shoved it into your mouth. "Took you awhile to take it, you spoiled brat!" he growled harshly, as you try to nibble on your bread.

"I am not a spoiled brat.." You mumbled as there is still bread in your mouth. "Did I tell you to talk back?!" Dark slammed his fist on the table, scaring you. You quickly shook your head as you ate more of your bread. Dark sat down, and leaned back to his chair, satisfied.

"I want you to eat more, you look disgusting when you're thin" Dark said as watched you eat more of your food. You hid your offended look by glaring at your hands, making him smirk.

--

By the time You've eaten 3 sets of food, and actually making the heartless demon happy, you were so full you were genuinely trying not to throw up. Regardless, he felt responsible, glad that he finally made you eat something.

He stood up and and walked towards you, grabbing hold of your hand and dragging you out of the dining hall. Once again, walking down another unknown corridor. This made you anxious. Had you annoyed him too much? Would he punish you again? You were shaking, scared of what Dark Link had in store for you. He stopped his tracks, facing a door. He turned the doorknob, opening the door, revealing a room. There were beds, medical supplies, everything that is needed to heal someone.

He went in first, going to the cabinets, clearly looking for something. You stood by the doorframe, watching Dark digging around the cabinets; taking some gauze, bandages and other things he might need.

He saw you standing stupidly by the doorframe, let out a sigh and pointed the beds. "Sit" he simply said, and you quickly complied.

"Take off your top." You immediately flinched, and your face flared up with red. "E-excuse me?!" You frowned and crossed your arms over your chest, not wanting to reveal yourself to him.

"I said take off your top, you idiot." He snapped.
