~Y/N's POV~
-Come on Zel! You need to tell me where it is!! Its important!!- Zelda crossed her arms and turned her back towards me
-Y/N are you crazy?? How is that you want to go there?? Its dangerous!! You know what he has done before! No one comes back alive!!
-Zellie....please...where is Darks castle...-I tried hard not to cry bitting my tremblim bottom lip
How am I going to tell her Link might be dead?
That Im in love with the killer of our best friend?
-Im not telling you Y/N, thats final- she sighed and her shoulders flexed down
I let my head drop down and I put my hands against the floor and let my hair drop over my face.
I couldnt hold it anymore
I started crying, my tears slowly falling down my cheeks and dropping on to the ground. I covered my mouth with one hand and bit it, holding the tears. It didnt do much anyways.
I could hear my voice shake and let out sad gasps while crying.
I felt Zeldas gaze on my back neck as I tried to stand up.
-Y/N.....why are you crying...?
I looked back at her in tears
-You...you wouldnt understand....- I looked down, Ashamed of hidding a secret from my best friend.
-Y/N.....why do you want to go there....?- she walked towards me and carefuly put a hand on my shoulder.
-....-
-Y/N....?-
I took her hand away softly and walked to the door, I closed it and closed my eyes.
-When its all over...Ill tell you...I promise...so many things I have to tell you...
She hesitated slightly but opened the door again
-Y/N wait!! I-I....his castle is at the south of Hyrule Field....Inside Faron Woods...deep inside the Sacred Grove....behind the ruins of the temple of Time... Please...be careful...
My ears twitched and I looked back at her with my eyes wide open. I cried again and hugged her tightly
-Thank you....Zel thank you so much...
Then I ran off as fast as I could towards the directions she told me. I ran out of the castle, bumping against everyone in the busy streets of Castle Town. People were screaming at me, shouting me to be careful. It all sounded to muffles to me, I didnt care. I ran out of Castle Town and across the bridge. I was panting already, it was early. The sun was rising up behind Death Mountain. I had to be fast. The sun would be hitting hard today, it was summer. It will be hard to run across Hyrule Field with so much heat. I could see moblins chasing me and giving up runnig towards me. I ran across Kakariko Village, a shortcut, and got back to Eldins Hyrule Field. I looked around for any enemies, it was not too full of them, it was early. I ran the bridge that connected Farore Field with Eldins. I kept running as fast as I could. I could feel my legs giving up on running, my chest burning and my lungs wouldnt take much longer. I cleaned the sweat from my forehead and kept running. I was not going to stop.
I started to see the trees from Faron Woods and ran faster. I could feel the breeze of the forest in my face as I got closer. I panted and coughed slightly. I crossed the gate and got inside the cave that would take me deep into the forest. I didnt take out a lantern or turned on a torch. I had no time for it. I tripped over and over in the darknees. I felt the Deku Babas bite my arms and the Keese scratch my face but I kept running. I saw the light at the end and hurried out. I tripped and rolled down the hill to the entrance of the Forest temple vast extension of forest field. I stayed there for awhile, panting, layed on the ground. I stood up and walked towards the water. I looked myself on its reflection. I looked horrible
I had cuts all over my face and blood running down my thights. I cleaned the wounds with water and stood up again, running towards the wind bridges to the entrance of the Sacred Grove, or the Lost woods if you prefer.
I saw the howling stone of Zeldas lullaby and panted.
-Skullkid.....please...help me.....
I heard a laugh and the little puppet kid appeared infront of me, he tilted his head and giggled. I had come here before, he was like a small friend of mine.
-Please....The temple.....Time...I.......him....find....
I was exhausted, I was coughing violently and shaking, my heart pounding fast.
Skullkid ran off with his trumpet showing me the way, I ran after him and followed the light of his lantern. I couldnt keep up, I couldnt take much longer.
You need to find him
Keep running
You need to see him
Once more
I finally reached the Temple and said thanks to Skullkid, who disappeared instantly. I looked at the two statues guarding the swords time pedestal. I thought of Link
Please dont be dead
Be okay Link
You are strong....
I looked behind the ruins, and started making my way through the dense forest. I felt spines from roses scratch my already bleeding thights and I whined in pain. I was crying, it hurts, it hurts so much. But I cant give up, Im so close to him....
I saw the black stone of the castle walls and made my way to it. I grabbed the door handle and shaked slightly before pushing the huge dark wood doors, or gates. I pushed with all of the strenght I had left, I was weak, I couldnt barely breath, I was dizzy. I was loosing too much blood.  I had ro make it, Im not dying
I got in and saw the kitchen, I didnt have strenght enough to close the gates. I left them open, I dropped on the ground. My legs couldnt take it anymore. I cant rest now
He is in here
And he is in danger
I stood up slowly and walked with heavy footsteps around the room. I went upstairs and looked in his room, there was small blood drops on a desk. I looked at them, it was almost transparent blood. Was he crying? Crying blood?
I gulped and looked around, he wasnt here. I left the room and looked in mine. Nothing. Only blood tears. I shivered at the thought of someone crying blood. It was a little disturbing thought.
I left that room too and checked the bathrooms and only saw blood. Bloody objects.
He grabbed those while crying....
The worst of all....
One of those objects...
Was a knife....
I felt my heart skip a beat
Suacide...?
I really hope not....
I walked back downstairs and looked for something....
No clue...
Come on...
Look closely...
Link trained you for this...secrets...
All the torches were lighten up
Except for one
I pulled it down and some of the bricks vanished from the wall
A secret room
The wall led to a staircase that led down to a basement
It smelled like dust and old place, it was all dark and I could hear waterdrops. I walked straight ahead and ran my hand through the walls. I stopped. I felt iron.
Iron bars
A prison
Then it all made sense
He held his prisoners here and tortured them
Thats why it smelled weird...
Corpses..
I looked around
-D-Dark...?
I heart a small distant and heavy groan on the distance
-leave me alone-
It was him
It was his voice
-Dark....its me...Y/N...
Another deep groan
-stay away from me, Im a monster.
I gulped and walked towards his voice, I reached a cell at the end of the hall and kneed down.
My eyes ajusted to the darkness and looked up, I saw him. I hold back a gasp
It was horrible
He was chained to the wall, he had chained himself up in the cell. Tortured himself, he was covered in blood and cuts. He had his head dropped and his clothes were ripped. He was crying. Barely noticeable, but he was crying.
I understood what had happened
Remember what I had said about what this cells where for?
Prisioners
He had tortured himself.
Because he was his own prisoner.
That broke my heart
I was in tears, I was shaking
I reached my hand out through the bars and shaked slightly with the touch of his cheek
I felt something wer on his cheek
I cried harder
He was crying blood
