Legend of Zelda: Blue Maiden (OT-MM)

Chapter 17: Dark Link

I stood on top of the water in the middle of a lone lake, standing next to a tree in the middle of everything. Dark Link sat against the bark, staring at me trying to ignore him

"What's wrong cupcake? Why don't you come over here and sit next to me? I'm sure Link will show up to claim you again" I huffed, turning away even more "if he can claim you again. He's going to have to fight me for you" I looked at him

"What are you?" He raised a brow amused

"Come again?"

"You are not part of his heart, the heart the Triforce took him him... So what are you?" He stood up and walked on the water, even if it was hollow underneath

"I am part of his heart" I glared and snapped

"Lier!"

"When there's a bright side to a coin, there's the other side who's shunned by the light. I am that darkness. I was a part of his heart before... I cannot go into his heart so easily. You are the only one who can hold magic and return me to him. You are aiming to bring back every piece, weren't you?" He showed his hands. I took a step back

"No way... I'm not letting you anywhere Link. He doesn't need you. He doesn't need darkness in his heart"

"And yet you hurt him by shoving those negative emotions into his heart" I frowned "how am I different? Everyone has a dark side to their light. Why won't you accept me?" He made a fake pouting face

"Because he doesn't need you!" He snorted

"Doesn't matter... When he comes for you. I'll make sure to end him" I gasped

"You would kill your own self..?"

"But of course! I am the darkness in his heart. Dark things can happen on the other side of the coin. Why should I remain here while he's happy? He needs me" he appeared in my face and grabbed my chin roughly "he's not fully human without a little darkness in his heart. you cannot stop me from doing what I want... If he's confident enough to take you back and fight himself, he without a doubt will just walk away with you and kill me. Oh! But look at that!" He laughed "you never returned his pride!" I was shaking... I was terrified

"H-he'll win because he cares about me..."

"Wrong, he doesn't have his pride nor regret. He's reckless. He doesn't know what the outcome is if he does something stupid. You can't save him while you're in here... He's doomed" I shook my head. No... No...

His smirk widened across his face. He pushed my chin away so he can walk back to the tree. I held my chin, glaring at his back as he turned to look at me "if you try to leave, don't bother. Magic cannot be used inside these walls. It's easy to get in, but it's hard getting out. You don't know how long it took me to make it to Lake Hylia from this lone place... You're mine now. There are doors leading out of here, but look at your ankles" I looked down at my feet to see chains on my feet "magic doesn't work in here"

"O-of course it does!" He chuckled, lifting his finger to wiggle from side to side

"No no, that's where you're wrong. I've been here for as long as Link's emotion started expressing themselves and became one with Hyrule. He was 5 when we all made our lives. Because of who I was, I couldn't get a life and made a home here in the water temple. Since Link met you, I waited for the day when I can take you away from him"

"How could you do something like that..?" He shrugged

"I don't give one **** about what happens to him. This is what darkness does to a pure heart... It destroys it" his smirk was becoming more and more terrifying "and I want to destroy it... Everything about him. Hey... Don't you remember when you had that darkness in your heart?" I flinched
