Link's P. O. V

Zelda and I fell onto the ground. I was wearing a worn shirt with tan pants and brown boots. I didn't have my sword with me and my hair got longer.  I heard a scream that was being dragged away from me. I opened my eyes and saw that Zelda was not with me. Of course she would be at the castle. I looked out in the horizon and saw Hyrule castle. It was covered by a black smoke with shiny red debris. The black smoke began to take the form of a boar-like entity as it roared a terrifying scream. It shook the land with its might and nearly have I lost my balance.  Could Zelda really be at that place with that "thing"? I thought to myself. I had to hurry and stop whatever is making Zelda act so violent and demonic before she hurts herself or Dark. The thought of Dark Link and the fight we had still pains me. I cant believe I said all those things. Not to mention that I lied to him about Zelda raping me. I don't even know what I'm going to tell him that I forced myself on Zelda. I still have no clue what happened that night. I know this will paint me as a terrible person to him, but I had no other choice. In this realm, he doesn't exist. I couldn't risk him of disappearing and sent somewhere else. But I know I am going to have to tell him the truth. A single tear rolled out from my eye. Dark must hate me. He must have forgotten about me and abandoned everything we had. I was a fool to say all of this. I'm sorry Dark. I didn't realize that I crying loudly until and old man pointed it out. I quickly wiped my tears and walked to him. He told me that I should look around and find anything in the Great Plateau. Something that will help me survive in the wilderness. I found a couple of apples and mushrooms. I also collected some herbs, hunted meat, and grabbed a few critters.  I looked at my inventory to find nothing more than what I picked up.It was empty. There was no weapons or shields, not even a set of bows and arrows. I was going to have to explore this entire world for that stuff. Not to mention that it looks like I'll be taking super long trips. 

"Well shit, I guess I have my work cut out for me." I said to myself.  Off I went and started another grueling adventure. 

Dark's P.O.V. 

I woke up in a bed. It was very soft and comfortable. I was covered in bandages. One was wrapped around my chest and the other on my arm. It was very hard to move. The door opened and a girl with blue hair came inside.

" Lana?" I said murmuring.  

" Good, you're awake. Don't move, you're still recovering from that fight last night."

"Last night?" I asked myself. My head was hurting just trying to remember. I looked around and saw my sword leaning against the chair. I was covered in blood. My clothes were torn and dark patches were covering most of it.  Just what went on that night? Lana sat next to me and lightly grabbed my arm. She cast a healing spell so that it healed quickly. 

" Lana, what happened to me?" Lana looked reluctant and scared to answer my question. 

"Please, I have to know, something tells me it was bad judging by my injuries and how bloody my things are." Before she said anything, Cia and Ghirahim came into the room. Lana looked at both of them and left the room. Cia looked at my injuries while Ghirahim sat and watched. Both gave each other a worried look and turned to me. 

" This isn't easy to tell you this Dark," Cia said. 

" And are you sure you want to know to what happened?" Ghirahim asked.  

" Just tell me already!" I yelled. Cia told me everything that happened. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. My arm and chest began to hurt again. I plopped down and started to grunt.  Cia grabbed a bit of potion and opened my mouth. She poured it in and I swallowed. It eased the pain, but I sure felt sleepy.

" Dark, we'll get him back." She reassured me. I want my Link. I missed him. I don't understand why he chose Zelda over me. He was raped, and I wasn't there to stop it. Why did I come late? I looked at the ceiling recalling memories. The day we kissed in that old classroom. The Christmas when we started to explore each other's bodies. That cold night when Link found that kitten. I know that neighbor of ours must be getting sick of taking care of it. I'll have to go down there and tell him that he'll have to stay a bit longer. Until I can get Link home again.

It was dark when I opened my eyes. I looked at the time and it was around 6 or 7. My wounds were almost healed with the spell Lana cast. My mobility was regaining and I was able to get out of bed without trouble. I walked to the kitchen to get a bite. I saw Lana, Cia, Vatti, Midna, and Ghirahim all sitting on the kitchen island table. I hid and peeked out the corner so I could hear better. They were whispering with such a serious and formal tone. 

" We cannot allow him to do such things, he would risk not coming back in this world..." Vatti whispered. 

"What other option do we have, Ganon has already taken over much of the state and will soon run for leader of this country." Cia said. 

"Everyone calm down. I'll send one of my people to fetch Link, if Dark Link goes after him, then he won't come back." Midna replied. What kind of talk am I hearing? Is that why Link told me not to follow him? Because I wouldn't make it back? I could care less what happens to me, what's important is that I want to see Link again and finish off that nasty broad once and for all, no matter if something possessed her or not.  I quickly ran back to the room and put on my old fighting gear. I cleaned my sword with an old rag and rubbing alcohol. I then opened the window and threw rope down so I could escape. Before I was going to leave, the door opened and in came Midna and Lana. they both ran in to try to stop me bu t I cut the rope and landed in the bushes. Grabbed my phone and texted my cat sitter that it's gonna have to stay there a bit longer. I have to save my boyfriend. No matter the cost.
