A slave's story (Dark Link X reader)

Chapter 5

READER'S POV

I sat there alone in the dark and quiet cart and I looked through the barred window and I thought to myself.

'How did it come to this? why did this have to happen to me? to my friends?'

Just then the cart stopped and then the door opened and one of the guards grabbed the rope that was around me and he tugged on it slightly. I got onto my feet and I carefully got out of the cart because my ankle was still sore from having it getting caught in that bear trap. I was limping through the hallways until I saw dark Link.

"So you finally captured her?"

Dark Link asked the guard. He nodded his head and said to him.

"Yeah, she was sneaky I'll give her that but she had her ankle caught in one of those bear traps we set up before they got here."

Dark Link came over to me and he looked at my ankle.

"It doesn't look that bad, are you in pain?"

"What the hell do you think?"

Dark Link looked at me and said to me.

"Harsh, oh well, it doesn't matter you're coming with me."

My eyes widen at his comment and then he took the rope from the guard and he pulled me. I had no choice but to follow him since I couldn't fight back. Once we got to a room Dark link pulled me and once we were inside of the room Dark Link untied the rope that was around me and he grabbed my arm and he dragged me to some shackles that were chained on each side of the wall.

Dark Link got roughly placed me on my knees. Dark Link moved my ponytail away from my back and he started to undo that back of my dress.

"What are you doing?"

I asked as Dark Link placed his hands only shoulders and he pulled down my dress so that my back was showing. He untied the binds on my wrists and he chained them. Once he was done he said to me.

"Every master has to punish his or her slave for doing bad things."

I glared at him and I said to him.

"I'm no one's slave and I will never be one."

Dark Link walked away from me and he said to me.

"That's where you're wrong, I already bought you before you escaped."

I was shocked at his comment.

"No way, why would you do something like this to me and my friends?"

"We only do this because we want to, we're just bad people doing whatever we want."

"I can argue with you there, anyway, what are you going to do to me?"

I watched Dark Link as he was at a table and he was going to pick out something.

"Since I'm your new master it is my duty to punish you and make sure you don't do anything like this again."

I watched him as he picked up a whip.

My eyes widen at this and I shouted.

"Oh hell oh no!! not the whip!!"

Dark Link smirked and he said to me.

"I hate to break it to you, it's my decision and I'm your master whether you like it or not."

I looked away from him and I remembered my father telling me not to show any fear to the enemy otherwise they'll take an advantage of that fear. I closed my eyes and I then felt a sharp pain in my back. I gritted my teeth as Dark Link continued to whip my back and I gripped tightly on the chains as Dark Link continued to whip my back.

After a while had passed I was panting from holding my breath for so long and I was trembling after having my back whipped one too many times. I could feel the blood dripping down my back. I heard Dark Link coming towards me and he then puts away the whip and he looked at me.

"You're one of the bravest slaves I had from being punished."

I couldn't talk back because I was still trembling. Dark Link took the shackles off my wrists and I placed my hands on the ground. The pain on my back was so bad that I couldn't stand up. Dark Link came over to me and he tied my wrists together before he threw me over his shoulder again. I felt pain in my back and I shouted at him.

"OW!! Hey! Easy with the throwing over your shoulder!!"

"Hmpf like I care."

Dark Link continued to carry me over his shoulder as he took me to another dungeon.

DARK LINK'S POV

As I carried her over my shoulder she didn't even fight much because of her now whipped back. I thought to myself as I continued to carry her over my shoulder.

'She's one troublemaker that's for sure, but why do I feel sorry for her? I shouldn't feel like this I mean I'm the hero's shadow for crying out loud I'm not supposed to have these feelings not again, not what happened to HER.'

FLASHBACK...

It was raining in the middle of the night and I held my lover close and she was bleeding in her stomach area.

"Serana! hold on!"

Serana looked up at me with her dying eyes and she said to me.

"Dark Link...I'm sorry my love...I won't be able to make it...I will carry our child to heaven...where she'll be safe and sound..."

Tears fell from my eyes and I said to her.

"A little girl? what would we name her?" 

Serana smile weakly and she said to me.

"Rachel...our little girl..will be called...Rachel..."

I smiled and stroked her cheek with a sad smile on my face.

"Rachel sounds perfect."

Just then the healers came over and I said to her.

"Serana! the healers are coming! they're going to patch you up!"

Serana had her eyes closed and my eyes widen at this. I shook my head and shouted in grief.

"No... no, no, no, NOO!! Serana!!"

I hung my head low and I held her close and I rocked her back and forth as I cried with her in my arms.

FLASHBACK ENDS...

I was quiet when I remembered that fateful day. When I look at this woman that I have over my shoulder she kinda resembles HER in some ways, but I can't let myself to fall in love again.
