Prolouge:
Day 12: I have to get away. It... keeps following me. To anyone who finds this, just know I loved him up until... the end.
It all began on my 13th birthday. My parents had bought me a Nintendo GameCube and some games to go with it. Mario Sunshine, Metroid Prime, Wind Waker, and Super Smash Bros. Melee. Melee was always my favorite. I used to love playing it with my father. He would always give me pointless trivia.
"The tip of the sword does more damage."
I love my dad. He is one of the best people in my life. He was the one who taught me my computer skills. After a couple of months of playing Melee, I was getting board with the standard characters. I was thinking of hacking the game, but my parents would flip if I broke my favorite game.
One day, when my parents where out, I booted up some software and started to get my ideas down on paper. I thought of some NPCs that already had sprites. Two came to mind, Shadow Link, and Toad. I decided I would just try ShadowLink, because my best character was Adult Link. After an hour or so of writing and copying code from Adult Link, I was finished.
I put the modifyied CD into my GameCube to copy the data into my memory card. It was successful. I booted up my copy of Super Smash Bros. Melee. I went to the character select screen. There, next to Pichu, was Shadow Link.
- Knock, knock, knock*
My parents had come home early. I just shut down my computer, and thought to myself
"Hopefully Dad won't be mad when he notices Shadow Link."
I went downstairs to greet my parents.
"Hey kiddo."
I always hated when Mom said that.
"Hey Mom, hey Dad."
"David, you want to play Super Smash Bros.?"
"Yeah!"
So I went back upstairs after my dad got changed. When he finally got upstairs, we started playing.
"Hey David?"
"Yeah Dad?"
"Who's the new guy?"
"Oh... uh...?"
I didn't know what to say, how would he react?
"I love the look of him! What does down b do?"
I was quite happy he thought Shadow Link was part of the game. So for the next couple of weeks my dad took quite a liking to Shadow Link... Almost to much. He would always woop me while playing. He completely knew every possible strategy for Shadow Link. I think he stayed home from work one time to play the game. Eventually I asked him about this.
"Dad, what's up with Shadow Link?"
"Nothing, nothing. I just uh... I just like him."
That was scary for me. I had no idea what was happening to him. Did something happen to him. I told my mother about this and she just shrugged it off. So I did the same. A few weeks went by when one day I started to hear my mom screaming. I ran down the stairs thinking she slipped and fell, or she cut herself.
Then, I saw it. Standing there -no- cast there was Shadow Link. But, what was casting the shadow. He was striking with his sword, the shadow blade hitting my mother. I didn't know what to do. Do I call 911, or do I attack it? I ran towards it. It vanished. I went to my mother. There was no blood, no wounds. There was nothing, but she was dead. I went to go call for an ambulance when I heard something.
"The tip of the sword does more damage."
That was nonsense. I couldn't locate where the sound was coming from. I looked around, no speakers, no one else, nothing. The sound felt like it was coming from inside my own head. What did it mean? It kept getting louder and louder. I couldn't take it.
"STOP!!!"
I fell to the floor, covering my ears. Then it stopped, so I got up, trying to get my bearings. I went back to get the phone when I noticed, my mother had vanished.
Epilogue
Day 1: The police didn't believe me. The man who talked to me said she was murdered and my subconscious was making the rest up. But I knew that it was my father- the Shadow who killed my mother.
