What if? Chapter four

          How revolting…
-
          "Forgive me…?" There was a few seconds of silence before Vio made the connection and he was staring at Shadow in awe. "Shadow…."
          "Why are you sorry?" Shadow mumbled.
          "…Because…  I tried to destroy you…" The blonde proceeded to look downwards, starting to fidget, which he rarely did. "I never got the chance to apologize… I didn't want you to think I hated you…"
          "… Now you've apologized… why don't you leave?" Shadow snapped, glaring at him. "You barely remember who you are…! Disgusting…. Disgusting… You're so much like… him… Green…"
          "…Green?" Vio frowned, looking away, trying to remember.
          "Pathetic…" Shadow growled, "A small blow from a darknut and you don't remember a thing… Why…? Why?"  The shadow was starting to tremble, his anger edging away, slowly being replaced by a great depression.  "Why did you forget, Vio?"
          Vio was silent and he looked towards his shadow. "I remember you…"
          Awe stricken once more, the shadow formed a faint smile across his pale lips. "I'll still have to kill you…"
          Vio stepped back a bit, feeling at unease. "No…" Vio removed his gauntlet and handed it to Shadow, the thin glass being pulled out caused Vio's fragile skin to split open and he flinched. "Take this…"
          Shadow stared at it for a second before taking it from Vio's hand. "Why would you give me something that would make it so much easier to kill you?"
          "…I don't believe you'll kill me."
          "Why don't you?"
          "Because I know you're not a bad person…" Vio smiled towards Shadow, tears filling in the corner of his eyes, causing his eyes to shimmer a bit.  
          Shadow reached over, brushing the tears out of Vio's eyes in one swift movement. "Don't do that… You know I don't like tears…."
          Vio pulled his hands to his eyes, rubbing them, let out a small sniffle. "…"
          "Vio…!"
          Vio wiped the rest of his tears before looking at Shadow. "Sorry…." He closed his eyes letting out a yawn.          
          "You can't fall asleep yet Vaati wants you…" Shadow grabbed Vio's sleeve, starting to drag him down the long corridors of the sky tower. After many steps and tons of hallways they finally reached Vaati's room. Shadow hesitated a moment before knocking. "Master Vaati…"
          "Come in." Vaati giggled the words, using the forces of the wind to snap the doors open. He was sitting on his large violet bed, his legs dangling over the side, surrounded by a variety of combs. He slowly removed his cap, beginning to comb his hair, having his back to them.
          "I've brought Vio…"
          "Oh?" Vaati giggled again, sliding off the edge of the bed. He was in rather unusual attire, due to him preparing for bed. Instead of his usual attire he wore a simple silk purple gown that just touched his knees, his hair brushed over one shoulder.  "I thought I heard our former comrade's voice…"
          "…" Vio blinked, frowning at Vaati. "Former? I don't know who you are…"
          Vaati smirked. "You don't? You are my minion… You were on vacation… don't you recall… Link?" Vaati smirked.
          "…I guess…" Vio blinked, looking down, trying desperately to remember.  "Is there anything you need…?" Vio placed a hand in front of his mouth, yawning again, keeping one eye open to look at Vaati.
          Shadow frowned at Vaati. "Vaati this is…"
          Vaati completely ignored Shadow, starting to talk over him. "Show Link to his room… He bunks with Green."
          "…Yes sir." Shadow started dragging Vio out again, leading him down into the basement, walking down a large hallway, and into Green's cell, locking him in there with him. "Sleep tight, Vio…" Shadow back away, before sinking into the shadows, bolting up the stairs.
          "Vio?" Green sat up, having been asleep prior to Vio's presence.  "Are you alright? I was worried after we got ambushed by the darknuts!"  
          "What are you talking about?" Vio sat down, starting to feel unpleasant due to the mucky air.
          "When we were ambushed yesterday…? Don't you remember?"
          "…No?" Vio huffed, feeling a stir of emotions, not knowing what was right and wrong. "I work for Vaati and just got off of vacation…"
          "Huh? If you don't remember that how do you remember your name…?"
          "You mean Vio? So many people call me it I just thought it was my nickname…" He shrugged.
          "…And who do you think I am?"
          "Green? Vaati said I was bunking with you… What did you do to Shadow? He hates you…. With a passion."  
          "That doesn't matter… Do you know who Zelda is?"
          "Zelda…?" Vio chewed on his lower lip for a second before his eyes widened and he stood up, approaching Green, fiddling with his handcuffs until they just fell to the ground. "Are you alright, Green?"
          "Yes… Do you remember?"
          "Yes… what should we do?"
          "Hmn…" Green was silent for a moment. "Did you give the mirror shard to Shadow yet?" Vio turned his head away in response. "Crud… we have to get that back and escape…"    
          "Do you want me to get it back and you look for the exit… or?"
          "You go, pretend as if you still don't remember… and just… get it out of him… I don't care how… good luck, Vio…!" Shadow had forgotten to lock the door back behind him allowing the two to easily escape and they were on their way.
