3. My Evil Twin Brother

Reina: Welcome back! Here's another fabulous chapter!

Chapter 3: My evil twin brother

Link

"Get up," a voice said to me.

"Let me sleep," I murmured sleepily.

"I said GET UP!" A pillow whacked me square in the face.

"Gah!" I fell off my bed and woke up, expecting Vaati standing over me with a pillow.

There wasn't anyone there, but I did see a pillow on the floor in front of me.

Who did that? It didn't sound like Ghirahim- the voice was too deep- and Aryll definitely doesn't have a masculine voice... Not completely sure if it was Vaati... but that voice does sound familiar...

Sighing, I got up and grabbed the clothes I laid out the night before after Vaati shut me in my room.

After changing, I went downstairs to the kitchen. Two bowls had oatmeal in them, and I grabbed the one closest to me. I was searching for a spoon in the utensil drawer when Vaati was walking into the kitchen.

"Link, I wouldn't recommend eating from that bowl," he said quickly.

"Why not?" I asked as I plunged the spoon in my bowl and put it in my mouth.

"I think that the bowl has sawdust in it," Vaati replied.

I immediately spat out the sawdust, dumped the bowl in the sink, and began to rinse my mouth with water.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU WARN ME BEFORE I ATE IT?!" I yelled at Vaati in between the water spitting.

He shrugged. "I didn't know that Ghirahim put the sawdust here until he told me that he accidentally threw out a bowl of oatmeal, and when I arrived to get rid of it, you grabbed that bowl, and I did tried to warn you."

"What was Ghirahim doing with sawdust, and when did you change out of your butler outfit?" I asked.

"I changed out of my butler outfit this morning, as I began to despise it. As for the sawdust, you can-"

"Hello there Link!" Ghirahim came up smiling.

"What were you doing with sawdust?" I asked Ghirahim.

"What? No, 'Hello there Fabulous Lord Ghirahim,'" Ghirahim pouted.

"Fine. What were you doing with sawdust... Sir," I muttered as my body twitched with anger. I hate it when enemies force me to call them by their titles. I would have hit Ghirahim, but as Vaati was standing nearby, I didn't want to risk it.

"Oh, I was building a wooden statue of my fabulous face, and those were the parts I crumbled to throw away. I put it in a bowl, an-"

"I can guess the rest," I grumbled angrily. I pictured him placing the bowl in the kitchen and throwing one of the oatmeal bowls away. Then something occurred to me. "Is that your fabulous outfit, Ghirahim?"

"Of course it is!" He was wearing his normal attire, and looked upset. "Why do you ask?"

I heard Aryll enter and say, "Hey Link, do you know what-" She stopped, looked at Ghirahim, and screamed, "Kyaaaaaa!"

Ghirahim frowned. "Is something wrong?"

"WHAT IS THAT?" Aryll pointed at Ghirahim in horror, and proceeded to run and hide behind me.

"My fabulous outfit. You don't like it?"

"No," Aryll and I responded at the same time.

Ghirahim looked like he was ready to start a long lecture of why he was awesome and why his sense of fashion was amazing, I decided to divert the topic to distract him and figure out he woke me up before my usual time.

"On a completely different note," I began, "Did any of you guys hit me in the face with a pillow this morning to wake me up?"

"No," Vaati responded immediately.

Aryll giggled a little bit, and then said, "Normally, I shake you or jump on your bed to wake you up, but I never hit you in face with pillows. That's only for slumber parties."

"I have more sophisticated ways of waking you up," Ghirahim responded calmly.

Flashes of torture (waking up with Ghirahim staring down at me, getting dunked with water, getting hit with a fireball, etc.) entered my mind, and I shuddered. "I'm sure that you do have some ways." I responded grimly.

Aryll grabbed her oatmeal and found a second bowl. "We'll split this bowl, as we normally don't eat much in the morning. Plus, I plan on eating cookies after this. Come on, Link."

I followed her out of the kitchen, and thankfully, Ghirahim and Vaati didn't bother following us, and I gave myself a mental cheer, then I scolded Aryll for wanting cookies for breakfast.

Aryll and I entered the dining room. Basically it's like the ones you would find in palaces, but slightly smaller, with two chandeliers over the table. I was walking to go pick a spot, when a black-haired boy appeared in front of me, hanging upside down.

"Gah!" I fell backwards and stared at the boy in horror.

He smiled. "What's up, brother?"

"Well, you are," I muttered to myself.

Aryll gaped. "Who are you? And why did you call Link, 'brother'?"

"I am Shadow Link, Link's shadow come to life, so I consider him my twin brother," Shadow said cheerfully.

Vaati entered the room at this point, "Shadow, you have the reports for me?"

Shadow sighed. "Yeah, I do." His legs let go of the chandelier, and he flipped upside down. He pulled some papers out of a pocket, and handed them to Vaati.

"What's that about?" I questioned as I got up.

"None of your business," Vaati responded.

"Time for our fabulous villain meeting!" Ghirahim randomly yelled from the kitchen.

Shadow sighed. "See you in a bit, brother." Then he followed Vaati to the kitchen, and they shut the door behind them, leaving Aryll and I very confused.

Reina: Poor Link... All I do is torment him! Granted, the story calls for it... And it's not the worse that I'm done to him.
