Lighting up My Shadowy Life

I won't give up on him

Opening my eyes I slowly took in my surroundings, "ugh, this is just great this place creeps me out." I moaned rubbing my temples (the area just behind your eyes on your head). It seemed as if though I were in the place called Skyloft near the goddess temple, though I knew I wasn't because it'd fallen back into Hyrule thousands of years ago, "where....am I damn it."

"So your awake (Y/n), do you like the view sweetie?" goddess damn it not him.

"No I find it rather revolting, and I'm not your sweetie." I bluntly stated.

"Oh really (Y/n)? I could possibly take you to my room and then we could-" Dark began to suggest something more revolting than mocking history as he was at the moment.

"Oh fuck no! Not ever going to happen Dark that's disgusting." I snarled, "Besides I'm taken already remember that you dumb ass!" I curled my legs up to my chest, "Besides I wouldn't be with you if you were the last man in Hyrule, Hylain or not."

"That's really cold of you...." Dark seemed to lose some effort in response to my behavior, "See you later then (Y/n) I promise to bring you a present when I return...." Then he left me to be alone for a short while.

"It's not like I chose who I am, no one gets to decide that for themselves anyways." I sighed looking at the clouds surrounding me, "I just want to be able to live with out fear as the Hylians are able to. Maybe I should just go to Termina like the others did before the massacre." I closed my eyes wishing for Shadow to be with me, for I knew that when he was with me I had nothing to fear. I would never admit it to him though.

"If your wishing for him don't bother Shadow will be gone soon enough you know, and that massacre was bound to happen eventually anyways you know (Y/n)."

"Go away." I growled, "I don't wish for your company, either of yours I just want to be able to decide things on my own."

"Oh now do be that way young lady,"  Vaati's father sat down beside me acting like he was my friend, "I know how much you must hate me. I'd hate me too if I knew everything that you do about me, and if I'd been forced to grow up like you as well."  I sat silently as he spoke still hugging my knees closer. "(Y/n) I know how much pain you've endured just because of what you are, but I can change that and give you the power to make them pay for what they did and decide for yourself" He smiled at me sweetly as someone like him could.

"If you're thinking about trying to get me to side with you, you can damn well forget it. I will never side with you no matter the consequence I'd always side with those I trust." I told him turning my head away, "Besides giving up on Shadow is something I'll never do. And I can get my own strength I don't need it from others."

"humph, so you'd rather live a life full of pain and suffering than to be free to do as you please when you please?" he laughed in response, "So you really are of the Sheikah, the race of both males and females in Hyrule who don't fear pain and suffering then. How bold of one who is not yet considered of age in their culture to say to a godly being."

"Leave me alone you creep, I still don't like or trust you nor will I ever." I muttered.

Responding to my behavior towards him he smacked me across the face and yelled, "You will address me as Lord Guufu, not 'you creep' young lady! How dare you be so rude to me! I COULD HAVE YOU KILLED YOU KNOW!"

"Ha! You know little about me 'Lord Guufu' I behave as I see fit. Not how others expect me to behave." I laughed at him even though he was the one holding me captive, "I don't fear you or death, in fact I welcome fear and death as my friends."

"(Y/n) my sweet!" Dark burst into the area from a place where the clouds didn't seem the same as the rest holding a bouquet of white rush Daffodils (aka-Jonquil or Narcissus jonquilla), "Please rethink your answer! I Promise to be gentle with you!"

"No." I told him bluntly scrunching my nose up in disgust, "Besides I don't really care for Jonquil flowers they're too bright and happy for me."

"What you don't like them? but they reminded me of you so I thought it would be nice to....Bring you some." Dark sounded like a hurt puppy as I rejected him again.

"Dark what have I been telling you about bringing girls flowers?" snarled Guufu staring daggers into the flowers.

"Um not too because it makes them trust me and not you?"

"yes that is correct you idiot so why did you do it! AGAIN." I knew it this was my best chance for escape if any.

While the two boys argued over the flowers that had been brought I walked to where Dark had come from, this was going to be easier than I thought as I heard Dark yell. "BUT SIR DON'T YOU THINK IT'S NICE TO GIVE THEM FLOWERS! IT MAKES THEM FEEL MORE WELCOME!!"

"Well yes Dark, but not every day that they are present."  Guufu responded coldly to Dark's over eager response. As their argument grew I broke through the barrier that had been closed before Dark's arrival in the room.

"Yes!!" I whispered as I ran down the stairs before me, "If I go fast enough they won't be able to catch up, I should turn into something else though just in case." You muttered as you heard a yell of rage from above, "looks like they just noticed, heh, idiots both of them." Deciding on turning into no one you just ran until you reached a bridge, "This isn't good..." at the other end of the bridge was a redead, "If I turn into a redead I'll be fine." You clutched a hand to your chest as you became a redead so you were disguised from Vaati's father Vaati and Dark.

Just then you heard them, "Idiot I told you before be more aware of your surroundings she would've had to pass you to escape."  As they turned the corner you began to act as a real redead would and just stood in place. "YOU TWO!"  Guufu yelled vaguely gesturing at me and the redead, "MOVE NOW! OR I'LL EXTERMINATE YOU BOTH!" The other redead moaned in response and moved so I did the same. "Come now Dark we must find her before she finds her way out!"

"Yes sir I understand!" the two ran past as I kept up my zombie-like act.

As soon as I knew they were far enough away from the area I went back to being myself and ran on. "I swear it I will get out of here no matter what!" I pressed on even when my muscle began to tense this was my only chance for escape and I was fully aware of it.

Just then you saw the door barely in reach (3-4 below you so about 40-60 feet above the door) and two familiar people standing in front of it. "(Y/n) quickly there isn't much time left before they realize that you're already here!" Vio quietly shouted "I'm not kidding there isn't much time!"

"I know!" I replied jumping over the banister of the stairs and landing flat on my feet once I felt it was safe enough, "c'mon we need to get out of here now!" I urgently told them as I heard Dark and Guufu's and voices growing closer by the second.

"Okay." Shadow and Vio said grabbing my hands and then we ran out the door and into the remainder of the Minish woods that hadn't been destroyed in the fire that had engulfed Hyrule almost 18 years ago.

Once we were at least 3000 meters away from the tower I asked, "What's going on Shadow? Why's Vio here, I thought that you and Vaati'd-"

Vio cut me off answering for Shadow, "We've formed a sort of alliance between me, you, Shadow, and Vaati."

"Oh okay....Shadow I think we should go to Kakariko it's safest there at the moment." I closed my eyes and grit my teeth as I told Shadow this, "We need to go to you-know-where, I have something to take care of in the temple."

Shadow looked at me sadly and replied with, "Okay my angel I understand what must be done."
