It was just another day. Another dark and dreary day in the mansion that was now his home. He couldn't complain too much actually.
He was fed, never dehydrated, free from the cold, and if he behaved, he was free from pain too. Life was... okay. Especially when one is living with his enemy.
Link rolled out of bed with a yawn; he hated waking up. He realized his twin was still asleep alone on the other end of the room, a light snore coming from the demon. The blonde boy stood, stretching and looking for his clothes... where were they?
Usually, they were folded by his bed, they would sit there all night, but it seemed they had ran off. At lea
Link moaned in pleasure as Dark did magic with his hands, mostly his fingers. Dark smirked at his lighter twins reaction to his moments. Link was laying on his stomach in his bed.
"You like this?" Dark asked leaning over and whispering into his lighter twin's ear.
"Yeah... I'm amazed Ghirahim doesn't enjoy this." The fallen hero responded followed with a small exhale.
"Well, it's his loss."Dark's fingers danced along the flesh before rubbing the area with lotion.
"Yeah... you have to teach me your secrets so I can do the same to you one day." Link replied.
"Oh, don't worry, you'll get it someday. You just have to practice."
"I know, but
"Dark..." The raven haired boy groaned sleepily rolling over in his bed. He was too comfortable to wake up now.
"Dark!" The whisper came again along with a soft slap to his cheek. He groaned in irritation, his twin probably waking him from the cause of a nightmare no doubt. The "hero" could stand in defiance to the biggest monster, yet a small nightmare could scare him.
"Dark. Wake. Up." Dark growled lowly deep in his throat before rolling back over in the silk sheets to glare at his twin.
"What?" The boy hissed ready to choke his lighter half.
"Merry Christmas!" The blonde smiled and held out a package with a green bow.
"What is this?"
"Flying through the snow-"
"Shut up!"
"On a loftwing made for two-"
"Shut up!"
"Above the clouds we soar-"
"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!"
"Laughing all the way! Ha ha h- AH!" Dark was truly tired of this singing! The songs like Jingle bells! It infuriated him! He was quietly reading a book when this singing started! He ended up tackling his lighter twin to the dark carpet below.
"Bells on Skyloft ring-" Dark slapped the blonde boy silencing him.
"I don't care where you're from! I don't care about your past life! If you want to keep that damn tongue of yours, you'll shut your mouth!"
"Listen grumpy, Christmas is my life." Link replied w
His pain filled foot kicked a small stone sending it flying across the fog. It was mornings like these he dreaded the most. Only with a thin layer of clothing to protect him from the harsh cold, he shuddered. The fog was relentless; it covered every small flaw in the road ahead.
He stopped.
In front of him laid a path to freedom where he could possibly find freedom. Behind him was his prison, a dark castle, a cage. He turned to the castle and stopped. Surely if he left, they would find him, drag him back, beat him for his "rebellion" and they'd continue their lives, but he would be stuck within the shadows.
He envied his life.
He envied t
"What did I do now?" The boy asked nervously. The demon in white merely chuckled.
"Do you know what today is?" Ghirahim hummed out loud glancing to his nails.
'Uh oh...' Link thought. 'Dark's Birthday? No, that's in another three months... Demise's no, that was two months ago. Maybe Ghirahim's? Because I know it's not mine...'
"It's okay, you humans have short attention spans so I'll help you out!" Ghirahim clapped and stood from his chair in the library. "Let's see here, five years ago, a certain someone realized escape wasn't possible, and that certain someone stated to become the best slave... let's see, what was his name?"
"Oh..." Lin
Captured.
An ancient grudge between the Demon Lord and the ancient hero still lasts strong even though more than one hundred years have passed. Now, the demon has possession of the hero and is keeping him locked away beyond anyone's access. How? Simple.
After the hero so kindly defeated Demise, he returned to that damned sky where he told his tales of the surface. Of course the people wanted to see these treasures for themselves, so they came down to the surface for only a visit. But soon, a visit became a stay and I was unable to hide in any place on the surface. My only option was to go to the sky.
Lucky for me, no one was there, so afte
I walked around the dark castle for about the hundredth time. Ever since my capture or, "reconstruction", I have walked, ran, and even crawled through the entire grounds of this cursed place.
How many windows have I broken?
How many walls have I been thrown into?
How many times have I been reminded that I failed?
I shiver and look down. The only time of the year when I'm allowed real clothing, but only outside. Winter. The snow falls freely here, like little shreds of paper being split from the heavens. I am in a black jacket, black pants, and black shoes. My regular, "outfit" if you may call it, is also black, so apparently, black is my
