Split Asunder

Ivory's POV

I landed in a dark forest illuminated only by the moon. I sat up rubbing my head trying to look around. "Huh, well this is unfortunate." Looking around with less of a pounding cranium, I found that I was alone. Using my ears, I heard whispering. not coming from anywhere in particular, it sounded like it was coming from all around. In the trees.

With wolf hearing, it really grated on my nerves. I started walking in a random direction, since I had no idea where I was. The forest seemed to never end, and the whispering grew more and more annoying and clear.

"So, I'm in a forest alone with no idea where I'm going. First of all-" I was cut off by a whisper. {you are nothing without the others}. "-how did I get here in the first place? Secondly-" I tried to ignore it {you are an abomination}. "-how to go about getting out of said situation." {you're voice is annoying}. "YOU'RE VOICE IS ANNOYING YOU ANNOYING SPEAKING ANNOYING PERSON!" The whispers were full of laughing and giggling.

{Ivory and blue, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G}

I was positively livid. It was one thing to annoy me with insults, but embarrassing me with a dumb rhyme was just crossing some sort of line. It then occurred to me that this is probably exactly what they want. Me to loose my mind in this place. Well jokes on them, I tell a sinful amount of puns for a reason. it also occurred to me that there's only one person who would try this on me.

"Oh shadow! Come out come out wherever you are!" I called out. " Hmph, you're a lot smarter than I thought." I almost laughed. I'm possibly the dumbest person I know. Vio's the smart one. "what a re-leaf, I was worried yew'd be more shady than usual! I was hoping I'd see you again soon."

He laughed at the puns, no one had ever really appreciated my puns before. Little did he know, I have a whole arsenal of tree puns. And what better setting to use them than a forest?

"Alright pretty boy, what do you want? Tell me why you can't just leaf me alone" he laughed, but not at my joke. I dont deserve this kind of tree-tment. "I told you that if I saw you again I'd kill you. So-"

"WAIT. If you kill me, and we're both a version of Link, wouldn't that technically be considered suicide? Therefore you can't kill me, because you'd be killing yourself because we're the same person SO HA! Checkmate pleb!" I know that's not how it works, but I like teasing this guy. He's just so cute.

"You...you can't possibly be this stupid."

"Don't underestimate me" I could make you believe something that isn't even possible with dumb logic. Trust me, I have skill.

"I can't even...I think I just lost brain cells just being around you" he was so confused on what to do next. "are you getting sycamore of my tree puns?" Should he just kill me, leave me to eventually get myself killed because thats how dumb I look now, or try to figure out my mentality?

"Listen Ivory, why dont we make a little arrangement. Those other links don't treat you right. I can clearly see that. Anyone can." Suspicious Ivory is suspicious. "Well, my puns are pretty lame. I can understand why they wouldn't-" Shadow cut me off, "No no no, I assure you your jokes are better than they give you credit for. In fact, I fernly beleaf your puns are qualitree. I don't care who disagreens." Shadow seemed to be trying really hard to try and make that many puns in a row, and all by himself too.

"I'm going to commend your efforts, but that was a little over-elming. Maybe you should take a break, and we'll be pine. There's no reason to commit treeson, just re-leaf yourself, oaky?" I wonder how far I can branch out these puns. "Besides, you're barking up the wrong tree if you think you can win me over by liking my jokes. You better spruce up your approach and stop being such a sap, because i'm not pining for it, and i'm not in the mood to make fronds. Although, i can agree the others can act like a bunch of birchs."

He just made like a tree leafed after putting his head in his hands saying, "I'm stumped on what im going to do with you." Ha, he face-palmed.

Apparently there was something to make the forest seem endless, because I keep seeing the same bush over and over again. I need to get out so I can see how the others are doing, or if shadow got to them too. I should start heading to the mountain just in case. At least I still have those mushrooms.

I was walking for a while and suspected something. I've seen that same bush at least 50 times now. How did I manage to walk past it that many times, you might ask. I dunno, I was board. Get it? Because boards are wood and wood comes from trees. I need sleep. Maybe if I just rest for a bit.

Being in a forest like this alone forced me to climb a tree. Irony. That is where I slumbered for the night.

shadow's POV

Perfect. Now that that annoying brat was asleep, it would be easier to do with her what I plan to do with the purple one. Honestly though, those jokes were a little funny.

dun dun dun

(god i had way too much fun with that part)

~Yel-Mel's POV~

"What the?" I questioned and sat up off the ground. Wait. Ground? Air? I can breathe?! I didn't die! But, where am I? I stood up and looked around for the other Links. "Vio!" I called, "Ivory?" No response, "Green, Red... Blue!" I was beginning to panic and my tail brushed against my leg, spooking me. Being me, I screamed and climbed a tree. Someone save me from this torture!!

After a while I decided to climb down the tree, "I wonder where the other Links went... Wait! Those traitors! I bet they just left me here!!" Don't worry, my sweet revenge will be yours for the taking. (Yes, I am leaving this chapter with an SOAD reference. Muwahahaha)
