Hey guys! It's me again! And I'm proud to present you this new story of mine. It's a modern Hyrule Zelink (and Shidna), and I'm very happy with this first chapter. I hope you will all like it as much as I do. This story is probably going to be a bit fluffy in the following chapters, so beware :) I think it's going to be 10 chapters long, but that's not a problem for now. It's entirely written in Zelda's POV. I want to say thank you to BlueFrenchHorn97, who is willing to beta read this story. You are supermegafoxyawesomehot! (Yes I really like AVPM now) Anyway, enjoy and please leave a review.
"In five minutes we will arrive at Castle Town Centre," an electronic voice said.
I closed my book and shoved it in my bag. I sighed. Four hours ago, I was still in Kakariko Village with my family and friends, and look at me now! I'm on a train to Castle Town. I sure was going to miss my friends. I would miss Saria's advice and Malon's singing, Karane's humour and Orielle's knowledge, Mom's food and Dad's jokes. Mom, she didn't like it at all that I wanted to move to the big city, especially since I didn't go because of the university. No. I went to think, about what I wanted to do. And I figured that the best place where I could do that would be the big city. But now that I was so close to it, I was getting very nervous.
"We have arrived at Castle Town Centre," the voice said.
I sighed, stood up, and took my bag and my suitcase. 'I can do this' I thought to myself. I stepped out of the train and I was greeted with the overwhelming feeling of a rushed city. I took a tiny piece of paper out of my pocket that my address was written on. I had rented an apartment in the centre of the city. I had been here before with school, but it was almost three years ago and I didn't remember a single thing. I looked around, hopeless, and saw nothing but businessmen rushing past me. I started walking forward, having absolutely no idea where to go. After desperately searching for where the street could possibly be, I sat down on a bench. Great job Zelda, you've only been here for a couple of minutes, and you have already failed. I was holding back tears when I suddenly noticed that someone was stood in front of me.
"Are you ok?" an orange haired Twili with red eyes asked me.
I looked up and nodded. "Yeah, thanks,"
"Are you sure? You don't look so happy," she said, with a tiny smile.
I sighed. "I'm kind of lost…"
"Well, where do you need to go? Maybe I can help!" she smiled.
I handed her the tiny piece of paper. "Hey! I know where that is!" she laughed.
"Really? You do?" I asked.
"Yeah! Because I live there too!" She smiled again. "Come on!" she gestured.
I smiled back. At least I knew someone now.
"I'm Midna by the way," she said.
"Zelda," I said.
"Nice name. Where do you come from? Clearly not from the city!" she laughed.
"Thanks! And no. I'm from Kakariko Village. It's a very small village about four hours away from here," I said.
"I think I heard about it once," she said. To be honest, she looked like a supermodel. She had long slender legs, and long orange hair.
We passed by several giant skyscrapers, shops, theatres and much more. I was never going to find my way here alone.
"So which apartment are you staying in? It didn't say it on the paper," she asks.
"Err, number 6B," I said, remembering the number. It was stupid of me, not putting the number on the paper.
"Oh my Goddess! I'm in number 6A! That's so cool! The last people who lived there were two old Gerudo women. They were so creepy!" she said.
"That's great news! Now I know someone already!" I said, smiling at her.
She smiled back to me. "You have beautiful hair you know. You should braid it!"
"Really?" I asked. I never really cared about my appearance. I made sure I looked decent and all, but I didn't really care about clothes, or hair. I thought my hair was rather boring. It was long and blonde, and I had a blunt fringe. That was it. I usually wore it loose, or in a bun.
"Yeah! It looks so soft and smooth! Instead of my wild hair," she laughed.
"What? Your hair is gorgeous! It has such a beautiful colour!" I said. I meant it.
"Why thank you, Zelda! I like you a lot already," she said.
I laughed. "Same here."
After a couple more minutes of walking, we had finally arrived at our building. It wasn't too large, and it had a small park across the street. There were loads of shops and things around it, so I wouldn't have to go too far away. I got the keys to my apartment, we stepped into the elevator and Midna pressed the number 6 button.
"Excited?" she asked, smiling at me.
"A little bit," I admitted. I was way more excited and nervous then I showed.
When the elevator arrived at our floor, I walked over to my door and opened it. The apartment was already fully furnished, which I was grateful for. It looked very nice. It wasn't big, but I didn't want it to be big, so that was good. It had a small hallway with two doors and an open area which were the living room and the kitchen. The two doors were for a bathroom and a bedroom.
Midna had told me she would come to see me later, when I was finished unpacking. I put all of my clothes into the closet, put the hygiene stuff in my bathroom, set photos of my family and friends in the living room and I was finally finished with the unpacking… sort of. I needed to go shop for groceries tomorrow, and I had to get other necessary stuff too. I was getting hungry. I hadn't eaten all day, because of the stress. I sighed, and changed my outfit into something that wasn't sweaty from all of the travelling and unpacking. I put on a pair of jeans and a dark blue lace blouse. I combed my hair, which was messy, until I heard someone knocking at the door.
"It's open!" I yelled.
"Hey! It's me!" I heard Midna yell back.
"Oh! Hey Midna!" I said, smiling at her.
"Nice outfit! Blue looks good on you! And your apartment looks great! It looks the same as mine, but still!" she smiled.
I smiled back. "Thanks!"
"So, are you hungry?" she asked.
"Well, as a matter of fact, I am!" I said.
"Great, because since you probably don't have anything to eat, and because you don't know anything here, I suggest we go on a dinner! Nothing fancy, just some fast food probably," she said.
"Sounds good!" I said, taking my purse and my cell phone. I took my jacket and put it on. It was still a bit chilly in the evenings.
"Do you mind if I bring my boyfriend? And his roommate? They are very nice, you will love them as much as I do, I promise," Midna said.
"No, sure, it's fine!" I said.
"Great! Let's go then!" Midna said, walking out the door. I followed behind her and closed my door. Maybe this was a good idea after all…
