Chapter 1

I am just out of high school for the day and my two friends, Mackenzie and Nick, have come over to my house. We are playing a sort of capture the flag, in the woods. It is kind of hard, when you only have three people, but it is fun!

From my hiding place in the tree my deep blue eyes survey the forest for my friends. I push my long, light brown, sun-streaked hair over my shoulder and finger my Triforce necklace. I see movement over in a clearing.

"At last!" I think.

I sheath my wooden sword, sling my bag over my shoulder and pick up my bow and arrows. The arrows are rubber tipped so when Mackenzie, Nick and I shoot we don't injure each other. I jump out of the tree and run towards the clearing. Stopping at the edge of the clearing I ready an arrow and peer out of the bush.

"What?" I gasp aloud then realize my mistake and cover my mouth.

There is nothing in the clearing but a giant tree. I see something shiny at the base of the tree and my curiosity is aroused. I crawl out of the bush and run to the tree. Kneeling down I gasp in surprise.

"MACKENZIE! NICK!" I yell at the top of my lungs!

I hear a rustle of leaves and Mackenzie comes out of the bushes towards me.

"What is it?" she asks pushing her dark brown hair behind her ear.

My excitement was boiling over but I still said, "Lets wait for Nick. As if on cue Nick came bounding into the clearing.

"What's going on?"he asked.

I turned to them and saw curiosity in both Mackenzie's green eyes and Nick's brown ones.

"Look at what I found!" I exclaimed.

Mackenzie looked at the small door in the base of the tree and said "What is it?"

Nick spoke up. "What if someone who really likes Zelda put their stuff in there!"

"I don't know what's in there but I am going to take a picture of it," I say taking out my blue 3Ds and setting it on camera. I snapped a picture and put the 3Ds back in my bag.

"Let's open it!" I say kneeling down and digging my long nails into the cracks around the edge of the door. I give it a tug and it comes off surprisingly easily. I crawl in through the opening and turn my head to ask if they are coming. Without waiting for a reply I crawl forward into the tunnel. I smile as I hear my two good friends doing likewise behind me.

After crawling for a few minutes I sense fresh air ahead.

"Guys, I feel air ahead."

I crawl faster and...

...almost fall off a cliff!

Stopped with my hand poised over the edge, I breath a sigh of relief. Just as I turn back to tell Mackenzie and Nick to hold up, Nick pushes into me with an "Ooomph!"

Before I can even speak I go tumbling off the cliff and see the dark shapes of Nick and Mackenzie as they came stumbling blindly after me.

I hear someone screaming and realize, it's me! Just as I hit the ground I hear deep, evil laughter and then I tumble into blackness.

MACKENZIE'S POV:

I woke with a pounding headache. I could hear voices above me and, looking up, saw ladies with red hair and purple clothes through my blurry eyes. I thought I recognized them but, no, it wasn't possible.

"Gerudo's?" I slurred.

"She is awake," the Gerudo with the longest hair and white clothes, said.

I realized straight away who she was. Nabooru, the second-in-command.

"What's your name, girl?" questioned Nabooru.

I was losing consciousness again and said the first name that came to mind, from a FanFiction, "Gwyndale Highrunner," I said before falling back into the black abyss.

NICK'S POV:

I woke up staring into the blue eyes of a red haired girl directly in front of my face.

"Aaaah!" I yell.

"DAD, HE'S AWAKE!" she yells...in my ear!

"Can you NOT do that!" I yelped.

"Sorry," the girl squeaks. "Anyway, I'm Malon. What's your name?"

I reply with the name I always use when playing games, "Ace Kien," then I realize what she called herself. Malon! She's from Ocarina of Time?

Sitting up quickly, I look around the room. It's just like in the game! Suddenly a sharp pain in my head makes me double over in pain.

Malon says worriedly, "You should go back to sleep!"

I nod in agreement and slip back into the comfort of the arms of Morpheus.

* Morpheus is the Greek God of sleep.
