My vision hazily tried to focus on the dimly lit room. There was only but a single lantern to light the room. Everything was spinning and I couldn't remember... Then it hit me
I tried to jump up but my hands were bound back by chains. A small noise of panic escaping my mouth as i struggled with the chains.

"Calm down." I heard a voice call In Front of me. Looking up and focusing I saw the whole face of the man that captured me. My body suddenly filled with rage, a feeling I hadn't felt in a long time, and it showed. "My my, feisty are we."
I fought against the chain ready to Knock him into tomorrow.
"It's no use. Those chains are reinforced" laughed the man. "So link, we were fortunate enough to find someone like you at the festival."
How did he know my name?
"When our friend waitress told us she had got us a beautiful catch I didn't really believe her. You see, we have a companion in every place we go and show our show. We lure out our prey on our stage and when no one is looking we catch it! Circus type workers don't get all their money from their shows you know. Sometimes you've gotta take the extra step and start selling something more practical."
I grit me teeth. So this guy plans to sell me off to some lunatic? He may have very well picked the wrong person to screw over.
"Nothing to say? Cat got your tongue?" He laughed. "Oh don't try and answer I'm already aware you don't talk. From what our waitress friend told us about your behavior in the restaurant to your friend you were with having to tell us your name. Why do you think you don't have a gag in your mouth?"
I tried my damnedest to get a word to come out of my mouth. Something, anything, but nothing came. The horrible noise of that mans laughter filled the room.
"Leave him alone Vancoff" a woman's voice chimed from out of my sight. "Isn't it enough that we are kidnaping him? There is no need to harass him further."
"Shut up Midna!" He stood up. The woman from the show was also now clearly shown. "Why are you even here? You should be setting up the show!"
"That's why I'm here! He may already be beautiful but we do have to set up a few things. It's good showman ship. " she walked over kneeling in front of me. A needle and an earring in hand. She looked side to side. "Oh so they already pierced? Okay." She began to take out the lower of my earrings and replace them with some larger loose hanging one. I didn't really get a good look at it but it was blue black and gold. "Now hold still" she pushed me back against the wall using her leg to push against my chest so I wouldn't move. Limber.
"What are you doing now?" Asked the male.
"Make up is in right now. I'm not using that much. Just a little eye liner" she moved her hand and a small stick closer and closer to my eyes to where I had to shut them, putting whatever the hell that stuff was on my eye. "And done. He's ready"
She grabbed the chain and plucked it from the wall. I hadn't realized till now one of the chains was around my neck and the clothes I was wearing. They took away my tunic so I was in my white tights and a tight fitting black shirt. I had the I intent to kill now.
She dragged me along until we were on some dark stage I heard people speaking in the background. I was on something of wooden floorboards.
The lights turned on and I noticed I had been dragged onto a small indoor stage and everyone in the room but me were wearing masks to hide their identity. There had to be 50 or more people in the room. The place itself looked like an auction house... And I had a sneaky suspicion that's what it was.
"Ladies and gentlemen. Today I bring to the plate one of the most beautiful catches we've ever had. He's male and only in his late teen years. What do you make of him folks?" Said the woman.

I noticed to my right laid a sword with a black hilt. It looked strong and sturdy. If only I could just reach that I could break this stupid chain and make my leave. Did they really think they could keep down the hero of time? Wait, since when did I encourage that title?
"We start the bidding at 500 rupees?" Said the male host whom had just walked out.
There was cheering and talking but I zoned out. I wanted to figure out how to grab that sword.. If I could just... If I could just reach it without anyone seeing, but that was nearly impossible seeing how at the moment all eyes were on me.
I was just going to have to go for it.
"And sold to the-!" She started but that's when I launched for it and in one slick move I grabbed the sword and cut the chain. It shattered into 10 pieces and I held the sword in a ready position. The sword.... I felt a pulse of energy surge through me, a power that I didn't understand. I felt numb to whom I was and it was as if I had been thrown back in time and I was fearing for the safety of everyone around me. It was like I was thrown back into the fight with gannondorf standing in front of me.

"Oh please what training do you even have?" A sword appeared in the mans hand as well. He was ready to fight even though he greatly underestimated me. He charged at me and I quickly blocked and dodged out of the way, landing a clean cut on the back of his leg. "What the hell?" I breathed.
He stepped up his game but it was obvious he was trying not to hurt me because all he wanted was to capture me.
He greatly underestimates me.
In one swift movement I charged and knocked his sword out of his hand and sliced at his legs yet again making him fall.

(You've been warned. Warning slight gore ahead)
He fell and the woman reached for his called sword. I sliced at her as well hitting her arm and side. She fell down next to me as well. The people in the audience were trying to escape and some already did but there was no way o was letting them go. I ran along the wall and blocks the only exit. I took my sword and my common sense was no where to be found. I sliced and diced and everyone in my path. Blood flew everywhere. I didn't kill them but it was enough to teach them a lesson and a serious one at that. Although I wasn't done. I walked back up the stage to the man whom was now trying to crawl away. He was reaching for his weapon.
I took my sword and slammed in through his hand. He cried out in pain as blood splattered about. "Please just let me go!" He cried. "I'm sorry!"
Kidnaping people. "You should pay for your actions." I said clearly. "It's sad I had to be the one to do it though. You should have been put down years ago."

"No please! Don't-"

Next thing I knew I was walking outside. My memory lapsed and I felt like I just teleported here later in the evening. I was suddenly outside and Dark's house was just around the corner. Looking down at myself I saw red. I was still wearing the clothes they had forced on me but I was also wearing a brown jacket but I don't know where it came from. It was too big on me so it hung down just below my waist. It wasn't zipped up so it was just loosely on my shoulders.
I found myself slightly stumbling back and forth, leaning against trees so balance. I heard voices outside. In the other direction. People calling my name. I started heading to the voices and I found myself going down a alley way. My hair fell over my eye and I suddenly felt a surge of weakness. Dizziness.
Up ahead I heard a female voice saying "where is he? Where could he be?" Zelda? She walked in front in the alley way and I moved forward out of the darkness slightly.
"Link? Oh my god! Dark he's over here! Oh my god link!" She ran up to me and I saw dark follow right behind. I collapsed to my knees and dropped the sword that I guess I was still holding. My hands and the blade were covered in blood that wasn't my own.
"Link!" I heard a voice call.
"Link!"
"Link!"

Then i blacked yet again. This time for longer. How long? ... How long?

Okay so this was a really dark chapter but it's more of what I was speaking of earlier, How link felt something unusual in himself. I chose to leave out what he actually did to the man for a reason. All will be revealed eventually but please stay with me. Sorry I was gonna post the chapter last night but when I went to publish I didn't save and wattpad crashed so I lost the chapter. Thanks for bearing with me. Love all of you reading this and your comments are much appreciated! There is another secret word.. I hope you guys start realizing the pattern soon. Lol
