Regrets and Darkness (Hero's Shade)

Chapter 37

I bite a small apple that Link gave to me before he left.Thank Nayru,no lizafados meat for me.I finish the apple and throw the core onto the empty floor.

The sound of it echoes around,along with Zelda's footsteps.I don't turn around,as usual."So,what did I do this time?"I ask rottenly.I can feel her eyes glaring at me,"I just came to see you,no reason to be rude,Shade."

"Don't call me that."I snap.
"How come?You let the boy call you by that name."
"Well he's different.I don't know why,but I feel that every time you come here,you somehow trigger me in a way."

She stands next to me and examines the apple core I left on the floor.She picks it up and glares back at me."You know,it's not a very marvelous idea that you're trashing the realm.How are you going to train?"

"Bitch,it's only one apple.Whenever I had a basket I would just throw the cores into it,then it would just disappear."I remarked.
"Excuse me,but can you not call me that?Its really rude since I'm royalty."
I laugh,"It's not as rude as you ruining my life,and death along with it."

"I did not ruin your death,you did this to yourself."
"Oh really?I definitely don't remember sending myself back in t-"
"You gave me the Ocarina."

I look at her in shock,"How dare you..."
I grasp my sword and point it at her face."I will kill you right here right now."
"Not if I kill you first,Hero of Time."She summons up her bow and arrows of light.I smirk,"Please do,I'm craving death."

She targets her arrows right at my face and starts shooting as fast as wildfire.I roll away and grab my helmet off the floor,I put it on and cover my face.She tries to get farther from me,but faster than lightning I kick her legs and she falls onto the ground.I feel my sanity start to slip away and my Fierce Deity side slowly start to take over.

I grin a sociopathic smile,and I bolt towards her.She gets up,yet I smack her with the hilt of my sword and knock her out.I then point my sword at her chest and prepare to kill the girl that left me with this horrible curse.

She wakes up and screams as I thrust the thing into her chest."DIE YOU WITCH!"I roared.Shes gone...finally gone.

I smile and close my eyes."Finally."I whisper.I turn around and open them,I nearly faint.
You really think I would risk having you kill me?That was a replica,you're not the only one with the ability to make copies of yourself.This was a test,and you failed,Hero."She magically conjures up a golden harp.The same one Sheik used.

I start to run towards her in a attempt to kill her,again.She starts to string the thin ropes of the harp,and plays a sad,lullaby.I feel myself get weaker,and more drowsy.But this doesn't stop me.My steps get more sluggish and my mind is clouded with fog.

The only thing on my mind is to get to Zelda,and kill her.She slowly gets to the end of her song,and I'm barely even walking,I'm on the floor dragging myself to her."Z-Zelda...die...you monster."No...I can't sleep...I don't want to sleep...the dreams...no."Then on the last string,I close my eyes.Zelda's words form in my mind,"I'm no monster,I'm the opposite of what you are,demon."
