Bullies Link sat alone in his tree house thinking. He was thinking about the things he had just seen, thinking about the things he had just done, the creatures he had just killed. All the people who died right in front of his face, everyone who cared for him dying, and the nightmares. The nightmares were horrible. They seemed to be about the people he cared about... being violently murdered by an unseen killer. A completely insane psychopath... He normally spent his days like this. If he went outside his tree house, the others would shunt him, taunt him, tease him, and push him around. Of course everyone knew that he was a good swordsman, but they knew that Link wouldn't fight back, so they had fun by making Link feel like crap. Saria would always tell Link to ignore them, the same thing most friends would say to someone. She would warn them daily that something bad could happen to one of them, after all, Link did carry a sword and shield everywhere with him. It was only a matter of time until Link snapped. "Hey loser! Why don't ya come out and show your ugly face? It's only your friends outside, and someone's come to see you, she says you're her boy friend!" Mido laughed.
"Not boyfriend, Fiance!" Piped a small voice.
Link, trying to ignore Mido, looked outside to see Princess Ruto blushing violently. Link sighed in mild annoyance. He didn't know why Ruto kept pestering him like this. Link jumped down from his tree house, and lead Ruto away from the others. "Ruto, what are you doing here?" "I was wondering if you wanted to go for a swim..." Ruto began. "No thanks."
"You always say no! Please come just once? Please? PLEASE! Oh Linkie, please swim with me..."
"I said no Ruto..."
"But Link! You promised me yesterday that you'd go with me today!"
Ruto looked shocked as he finished up. Tears had formed in her eyes and she spoke slowly and quietly, trying not to lose herself in the pain she felt inside her heart. "You could have just said no, you didn't have to shout at me! I thought you were different from every other man in this land. Not all about every girl they can lay their hands on. I thought you liked me. I thought we would grow up and have kids of our own. Turns out you're just a player who can't think for himself, and thinks every girl likes you. Well you're wrong! I HATE YOU!" she screamed at Link, then turned to leave, tears running down her cheeks.
"Hey! You're lucky I even talk to you at all! It's not like I'm your slave or anything. I don't love you, I never had, and I never wanted to be engaged to a fucking ugly thing like you. I only agreed to it to get that stupid rock from you to save the world! Here's an idea for you to indulge in. GO TO HELL AND BURN LIKE THE SKANK YOU ARE!" Link spat.
"THOSE WOULD BE PRETTY FUCKING UGLY KIDS WITH YOU BEING A FUCKING FISH!"
He watched her run off, and then felt slightly bad. He had just made one of his friends, who just so happened to like him, run away, heart torn to pieces. She wasn't really that bad of a person, she just didn't have a lot of people her own age to be around, not to mention she truly liked him after he'd saved her.
Thank the Goddesses... he thought ignoring his guilt. "Way to go fuckbag. What were you thinking? Making a girl cry like that. Jeeze. she loved you,. you should be nicer to her; after all, she's the only one who'll ever fall in love with you," Mido and his friends doubled over in laughter. Saria turned away in disgust.
"Hey Saria! Wasn't that a good show? Link blowing the only chance he had at being a taken man?" Mido fell backwards.
"Mido, you're a fucking asshole, you know that?" Saria said walking away.
Link stormed off to his tree house. He began thinking of a way to stop the others from pissing him off like that. A way to get them to leave him alone. Maybe even fear him. Then he got an idea, a brilliant idea, but he'd have to wait until late that night. At a time when no one would be awake to see him, around the time the nightmares occur, deep in the night. Link got out his sword and watched the sunlight flash off of the clean sharp metal. "How I've missed the feeling of a sword in my hands. I can't wait until tonight. Mido and the others will pay..."
