I stopped in my tracks remembering that Ilia was in Dark's hands. I couldn't attack him when he could use her as a sheild!
"Let her go, Dark! She shouldn't even be in this mess." I knew he'd refuse but what else could i do.

Dark got up slowly, picking up his shield in silence. His face was completely shadowed now; his expression was impossible to see much less read. He said nothing to Links shouts. He just stood there in dark shadowed silence.

"Well!" I shouted back with great power. I had no idea if he released her or took off with her. So I slowly walked closer to him with much caution. I was ready for a surprise attack he might attempt.

"I'm going to kill you, Link." Dark's voice was soft and emotionless. Gone was the hatred that had laced his words. He was simply speaking as if describing how paint dried. "I am going to fight you, here and now, and I am going to kill you." Dark electrical energy began to crackle around the blade of his sword.

I stood in a stance after his remark. "After you," I said only in attempt to tease. I tend to do that in fights. Ilia seemed ok looking through the corner of my eye. She was out of Dark's reach so I felt comfident enough to not hold back.

Dark took a single, slow step forward. Then he exploded. Racing forwards toward Link, he swung his sword in a powerful arch, clashing it against Link's shield. The clang of metal striking metal rang loud through the night sky as sparks flew from Dark's sword.

In reaction, I countered his attack with a swing at his arm holding his sword, but somehow expected that coming and jumped back. I stood in my stance ready and eager.

She watched the two for moments. The longer she waited the more intense the situation became. "Stop!" She didn't know what was going to happen. Her feet just moved on their own. Her actions just happened. She ran, stepping between the two. "Now isn't the time to be fighting! Stop this!" She would refuse to move at any of their attempts. She was stubborn and wouldn't let either get harmed.

Dark kept up his attacks, always pressing the offensive with strike after strike. The emotionless expression on his face remained, though his body attacked Link with its usual wild hatred.
...that is, until Ilia stepped between them. Despite himself, Dark froze in place with hesitation for a moment.

My anger dropped when Ilia stepped in. I couldn't fight with her in the way, but knowing Dark, he'd keep on. So I stood my ground questioning myself.
But then Dark let his defense down. Now was my chance to attack, but my main concern at the moment was Ilia's safety. I grabbed her arm and speed walked with her in hand to Epona. We monted her and took off.[/size]

As stubborn as she was, she jumped off the horse and took off toward the two. "Link! Don'ty touch him!I don't care what you have against him! Stop it!" She stood in front of Dark link, protectively. She knew that Link was going to fight til death. She had so many questions for this man. She wouldn't let link touch him. "Send me away, Link...Did you even know A man name Ganondorf came in search of me while you were gone? No! Don't do this! Listen to me for once!Please!Trust me!"

The girl was babbling nonsense. Here once again, Link had bested him. He had gotten the girl he came for and would have made his escape easily. Yet, the girl had gotten off the horse. She had stayed. What's more, she almost seemed to be defending him.
I don't understand. Why is she doing this?

I was obsolutely confused! Is she protecting my enemy? Is she in love with this beast? Is she mad at me?
"Ilia, we can talk about this on our way back," I said as I rode Epona over to her and lends his hand for her to grab when getting back on.

Her eyes closed as she turned her head to Dark Link. "I want to find you soon...I want to ask you so many things...And...For lying to me..." She slapped him once more, smiling as she grasped Link's hand and pulled herself upon the horse. Her arms went around Link's waist as she giggled.

Dark stared at her with shocked eyes. What had she done to him? Here was an excelent chance for him to strike down his foe and fulfill the purpose of his existance, yet he could not make himself move. Lie to her? When had he lied? It was she that had first grabbed him in the darkness.
A strange feeling nagged the edge of Darks shadowy heart, and he did not like it.
