Lost at War

Chapter 2: Double Sided War

Zelda watched as the dark Link was fighting something in himself, it was Link's good conscience. Zelda could feel the tears forming in her eyes. "LINK! FIGHT!" she shouted.

Just then, Zelda's father came running. "WE NEED LINK! QUICK!" he shouted. Then he saw Link collapse to the ground, normal again, unconscious.

Zelda gently pushes him back and forth, trying to wake him up. "No, he can't be dead!!" Zelda said, tears escaping her eyes.

Link groaned just then. He stood up. "See? That's my dark side," he said. He looked at Zelda's father. Link picked up his sheild, the only thing he had dropped. He walked forward to Zelda's father, the general of Hyrule's army.

Zelda knew what day it was. It was Friday, the day before Link's birthday. "How long do you need him?" Zelda asked.

"Until Sunday," her father replied.

Zelda fell to her knees. "PLEASE let him come home tomorrow!!" she pleaded. But her father's words echoed in her mind. WHY SHOULD WE LET A WARRIOR COME HOME IN TIME OF NEED? Her father said just that in response to her pleading.

Link waved at Zelda. "We can celebrate when I get back," he said sweetly.

Zelda hugged him. "I'll miss you!" Zelda cried. Her tears fell onto Link's shoulder.

"It'll be ok" Link said. He pulled away from the hug and rested his hands on Zelda's shoulders. "I'll be back, trust me."

Zelda was still crying. "Don't go," she stuttered. She held Link's hands as he took them off her shoulders.

"To be honest, I don't want to go," Link said, holding back tears.

Zelda's father tapped Link's shoulder. "We gotta go!" he shouted.

Link handed Zelda his hat. "I won't need it, you can have it until I come back," he whispered.

Zelda held it close to her. Her tears fell onto the thickly woven fabric that made the hat. She watched Link walk away through her clouded eyes. "No..." she whispered. She walked back to her room in the castle.

Link stood, sheild infront of his chest and face, blocking fatal attacks. He hadn't gotten hurt yet, which was a relief, but how would he break the news to Zelda how her father is in intensive care? A small tear rolled down his cheek. He thought about how happy Zelda was to see her father come home from war. Now Link was the only guy. Will this ruin our special weekend to celebrate? Link thought. He shook his head. Focus if you ever want to get to it! he thought to motivate himself. He clenched the hilt of his sword in his left hand. Still having his sheild in the same position, he held his sword out and spun around. 5 Gerudo fell. "THAT'S FOR THE ROYAL FAMILY!" Link shouted. It was 15 hours after he was woken up, and after he left Zelda. He felt tired, but kept going on. Finally his eyes were so tired he started seeing things, which messed up his aim. He would see double of the Gerudo and strike at thin air. That hurt him badly, being that one of the Gerudo managed to use that to her advantage. She walked over to Link and started to act all nice.

"My name's Genni, whats yours?"
"Link, I am a royal knight in service to the princess of Hyrule."

"You sound so brave...are you thirsty?"

"Yes actually."
"Well follow me! There's a spring in the forest just away from here."

Being Link had been struck many times, he was wounded. His mouth bled, and so did his left leg.

Genni led him to an ambush spot they had set up.

Link got real angry and had been fighting off his dark side, being that right as Genni walked away, 15 Gerudo attacked him. He struggled to the point of going unconscious not to let his dark side out.
