Curse
The Dmgirl: After four years, I decided to revive the story that made me known to almost all, "Curse". I gave to read to a good friend of mine and he tried without being able to read it. As such, I suppose some of you have also been blocking on this, and I'm giving a new version where some things were slightly changed, but the plot behind it is still the same. So, please, enjoy!
Disclaimer: (For chapters to follow) I do not own the Legend of Zelda. I merely have the plot and the OC, Elianne.
Chapter I: Outsider
The tree shimmered underneath the morning light, only letting a few sun rays through, illuminating the path ahead in a golden halo. A gray paw came to lay upon it, a muzzle sniffing out the odor of fresh blood. Tail low and crouched to the ground, the wolf tracked down its prey with caution, black eyes looking ahead and nose to the ground, following human footsteps through the thick forest, not letting any other scent distract him from its hunt. The wolf watched the pack behind him open a perimeter before starting to close in, leaving the person no escape. It had been days since they had eaten properly, taking lichen off trunks to survive. There was no way it would let meat fly away so easily, not when it had taken so long to get its teeth on some.
Onyx eyes finally caught sight of their prey, a young man with dusty blond hair and a green tunic stained with bits of food and blood. Licking its lips in anticipation, the wolf slipped closer to the worn-out leather boots of the boy without a sound while it felt its patience beginning to thin under the intoxicating smell. One last time, the canine checked if all the pack had surrounded the young man before plunging its teeth into one of the ankles, making the human fall from high, the others wolves joining in to prevent their prey from escaping as he fought vainly for his freedom, seeming weak and famished from days of running. His struggles decreased with time as he appeared to accept his fate. The leader of the pack couldn't be more happy. Finally, fresh meat was falling under its grasp.
A twig cracked in the distance and the wolf turned, black eyes catching sight of another human, a young woman this time, with red hair and a dark blue dress. The wolf growled, not ready to give its feast to anyone. Still, the girl approached, unafraid of the pack circling the man. The young woman waved about and voiced out a few shoos, making the group of canines flee with regret. Ears heard the labored breath of the boy they had left behind. A slim hand touched his chest, fingers hitting a wound the teeth the wolves had caused and making the young man let a out a strangle yelp out of pain.
"Goodness," she breathed, purple eyes tracing his chest filled with marks of teeth. "They didn't miss you, did they?" she whispered while slowly taking him on her shoulders and beginning to drag him somewhere. She heard his breathing ease itself and smiled when she saw the young man give into the darkness that was slowly claiming him.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you," she said, her amethysts eyes searching. A sigh of relief passed her lips when she caught sight of her home. He was safe, now, although he was unconscious.
