Playing With Knives- LoZ

scene 102- lies

Wild was left speechless.
He felt lied to.
Violated, almost.

Morgan was part of the Yiga Clan.
Or, she had been.

He had trusted her.
And she took his sword.

He didn't know if she'd bring it back
For all he knew, she'd never come back.
She'd just take it to the Yiga hideout, and they'd use it for Hylia knows what.

Maybe they'd use it to kill him.
For once, he didn't want that to happen.

He thought he had found a friend.
And she was a Yiga.
Just his luck.

He turned and walked away, looking down at the ground.

Just when he thought things were looking up...

"Wild? Are you okay?"

"Go away."

"I'm really sorry about that."

"Why? It wasn't your fault."

"I..."
Twilight sighed.
"You're right. But it wasn't your fault, either."

"I never said it was. She's a Yiga. You don't just know if someone's a Yiga. They use dirty tactics, like making me trust them."

"From the sound of it, she isn't one anymore."

"It was probably just an act. To make her seem good."

"Why would they do that? That would be a stupid plan."

Wild sighed.
"I guess you're right... But that doesn't change the fact that she lied to me."

"I think she just wanted you to trust her."

"Why would she want that? I'd just end up leaving her behind..."
Wild mumbled somethiideas telepathically hulang under his breath.

"Pardon?"

"I said, juslikmstr..."

"Can you repeat that?"

"Just like my sister."

Wild buried his head in his hands.

"What? What do you mean?"

"I never visited her..."

"What? When?"

"When I became Zelda's knight... I promised that I'd visit her and tell her what the castle was like... and I never did."

"I..."

"I'm such a terrible person!"

"No, you aren't."

"Yes, I am. I've ruined this group. Everybody's f**ked up because of me."

"That's not true."

"Are you saying that Time and Wind are just fine? Because I know they aren't. My bad decisions ruined them."

"What are you talking about?"

"What are you talking about, you oblivious f**k? Nobody here needs you. You don't notice anything. Everyone's got something going on, and you just brush it off like it's nothing. "

"I didn't realize-"

"Exactly my point. You don't realize anything. Why do you even stick around? You can't do jack shit."

"I-I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. I... should go."

He really did ruin everyone's lives. First Wind and Time, and now Twilight.
No doubt Legend and Warrior would be next.

No matter how many times someone said that it wasn't his fault, he knew that it was. Even though he was usually just forcing the blame onto himself, this time he wasn't. He could tell.

It was the timing.
The way Wind acted around him.
The fact that Time was constantly away from camp, yet he never left. He was always here, and never in his own Hyrule.

The way they tried to ignore him.
After all, he was getting better.
Why should they care?
Why should they pay attention to him?
It wasn't like he was important.
It wasn't like he helped.
In fact, he did the opposite.

He hurt them.
F**ked them up.
Just like he was.

Well, maybe not as badly.
But still.
It was still bad.
Still extremely unhelpful.

He shouldn't be here.
He didn't deserve it.

He stood up and walked to the table. He grabbed his sword and-
Wait.
Shit.
Morgan took his sword.
That bitch.

He grunted in annoyance and went back to the fire circle. He flopped down onto one of the logs, sighing.

Why did shit like this always happen to him? He had just gotten his sword back, too. Just his luck that he'd lose it almost immediately.

Just his f**king luck.

She stood with one foot on his stomach, holding the sword over him.

"I warned you. I told you that you'd pay. I told you I'd get my revenge. So here it is."

She brought the sword down, stabbing it right through his chest. Blood spattered all over her legs and the sword, and she smiled.

Finally.

She waited until he stopped moving, then she lifted the sword.

"Good riddance."

She walked away, tossing the sword into the air and catching it.

Next, she'd get her sister.

Shame Kohga was already dead.

She had hoped to kill him herself.
