Alright, so this is my first ever fanfic, and yes, I know, it's totally unrealistic for Nancy Drew, but bear with me. Hope you enjoy.

When Fiction becomes Fact:

Chapter 1: Strange Happenings

Nancy's POV:

One thing you should definitely know about me; if you think I'm the type to believe in monsters, you're dead wrong. Sure, I was just like any other five-year old, afraid of what may be lurking in the dark, but my dad always reassured me that monsters didn't exist. However, I've learned throughout my career, that monsters are concealed in evildoers.

Take my last case, for example. In Germany, a "monster" was terrorizing the populace of Castle Finster, causing people to close their doors in fear. As it turns out, it wasn't a monster, only someone who wanted revenge on Markus, the castle's owner. However, in this person's crusade of "justice", they terrified innocent people and locked a little boy up in the dungeon. I ask you, who would do this other than a monster?

While I was at the castle, a traveling storyteller named Renate told me that the monsters today are people like you and me, but have taken a turn for the worst. This revelation has brought to my attention that there are monsters everywhere who are taking advantage of innocent people everyday. This has further strengthened my resolve to bring all these " monsters" into the hands of the Law where they belong. However, if you think that I'm just going to believe in real monsters right now, you have no idea who I am.

"Darn it!" Nancy muttered as her perfume bottle skid off her makeup table when she reached for it. She was, after all, supposed to be leaving for her date with Ned in five minutes. As she reached for her perfume bottle, she spotted a ball of paper behind the table. Confused, since she always kept her room clean, she gently unraveled it to reveal a picture she had drawn when she was four.

It presented the scene of a ghoulish goblin wielding a club and riding a hideous, gray boar. It had been precisely a year since she lost her mother in a car accident. Ever since then, she had been plagued with nightmares, each one worse than the last. After one such dream, she had drawn that very picture to show it to her father. Like always, he had reassured her that there were no such things as monsters. Nancy then clearly remembered her father throwing the gruesome picture away. If that was the case, how did it end up on the floor in Nancy's bedroom?

Suddenly, something touched Nancy's shoulder. Whipping around in fright, she discovered, to her immense relief, that it was only her boyfriend. "Ned, are you trying to give me a heart attack?"

"Sorry, Nancy, It's just that you're always down on time, so I figured I should check on you."

"Right, sorry, Ned." When Ned left to chat a bit with her father, Nancy took one last look at the picture and tossed it into the trash can. Frankly, that picture was starting to freak her out all over again. " Oh, come on Nancy. Me, the famous Nancy Drew, afraid of a picture? Get a hold of yourself, Drew!."

Suddenly, she heard her boyfriend gasp in shock," What happened to my car?" Adrenaline rushing, Nancy rushed outside to find that all four of Ned's tires had been slashed wide open. "Who could have done something like this?" Nancy exclaimed, as she began to search for clues. She was interrupted by the sound of a thundering squeal to her right. Split-seconds later, Ned had been knocked down, and Nancy was swept into the air and laid across the back of a giant, gray boar. Expecting what would come next, Nancy slowly tilted her eyes up to meet with the beady, red eyes of a monstrous goblin that was the spitting image of the picture of long ago.

I know what you're thinking, ' What, Nancy gets kidnapped by a bulblin, that is totally unrealistic.' Well, this is Fanfiction so, what can I say? For Legend of Zelda fans, don't worry, I'll have Link appear in the next chapter, so you'll just have to be patient.
