Chapter one ~ Changes

Being an orphan is hard especially when none of your relatives want you. That was why my uncle chose to send me to boarding school in an entirely different province.

I stood on the train station platform waiting for the Hyrule High train that went directly to the school I had been enrolled in. My uncle dropped me off here, not even bothering to stay and see me off. The only words he said to me were 'The train should be here soon, the school is all the way north in the Lanaryu province and since I'm in the Faron province you won't be able to come for short holidays on weekends and when the end of year holidays come I'd prefer it if you just stayed at school because I'll be busy.' And with that my uncle left me standing there all alone.

I looked down at my red dress that went to my knees and brushed off a bit of dirt, I walked over to a seat to wait, my black ankle boots tapping as I walked. My blonde hair blew around me as the school train came to a stop beside the station platform. A man stepped out wearing a train conductor suit.

"Zelda Harkinian," I don't know why he called me when I was the only one at the train station. I breathed in a deep breath, picked up my suitcase and handed the man my ticket.

"Welcome," The man said as he tore an end off the ticket and handed it back to me. "Please take a seat,"

I wandered on board and looked around to find there weren't many spare seats except for one down near the back of the carriage. So I walked down the aisle keeping my head low, as I knew people were staring at the new comer, me.

I placed my suitcase in the overhead compartment and sat down just in time to be rocked by the forward movement of the train.

I stared at the window and wondered how life could change courses so easily, so quickly. One minute my loving parents surrounded me then all of a sudden I'm sent to a boarding school because my uncle doesn't want to deal with an orphaned child like me.

I didn't remember much except waking up to smoke, that night everything was lost. The next thing I remember is screaming as I finally escaped the burning house.

I came back to reality with a feeling of sadness; it was too much thinking about that night. My family lawyer then informed my uncle and me that once I turned eighteen I would inherit my family fortune. You see, my father was a politician who earned a large sum of money for our family. Many of my relatives despised us for this, which is why my uncle wanted nothing to do with me after it was decided he would be my guardian. Eighteen, two years seemed like it would take forever to be free to do what I want, but until then I had to stay at this boarding school called Hyrule High.

As I sat leaning my head against the window I saw a group of people staring at me. There were three girls and four boys, as soon as they caught me staring back at them they looked away. They were probably gossiping about how I escaped from the fire, seeing as everyone heard my name being called.

I clutched at the locket under my shirt, it belonged to my mother and whenever I thought about her I seemed to calm myself, it was like magic.

I exhaled a deep breath and continued to stare out the window at the passing forest. I was now alone and I had to get used to it, otherwise I wouldn't cope in any possible way.

As I leaned against the window I felt even more tired, I hadn't slept in the last twenty-four hours because every time I would have nightmares, and every time I would wake up screaming. I could feel the edges of my eyes wanting to close but I was too scared. I didn't want to relive the torment of the fire that took everything from me.

Murmurs woke me from my daydream. There were many kids looking out the window and pointing.

"Finally we've arrived," Exclaimed one of the girls who was staring at me earlier.

I was one of last students to exit the train, and when I did a huge school loomed before me. It was the biggest school I had ever seen, definitely bigger then my previous school.

I followed everyone else through a large gate and into a massive square.

"Please everyone settle down," a woman yelled. Immediately everyone in the square quietened down, and a man on a small makeshift stage stepped forward.

"Hello everyone and welcome to a new school year at Hyrule High. For those of you who are new students, I am Gaepora the headmaster. Now there are a few rules I would like to remind you about, there is to be no running in the corridors due to accidents last year. The curfew is ten pm and lights out by twelve."

The headmaster listed many of the school rules that I was already familiar with. I noticed out of the corner of my eye seven girls staring and giggling at me, I stared at them, which made the turn around. They were different from the people who were staring earlier on the train. I suddenly knew to avoid those girls. I just got an off feeling about them, like they were up to no good.

"Now I would like all new students to follow miss Impa here. Everyone else, I'm sure you all know where to go," With that, the headmaster left the stage with a few other teachers.

Everywhere, students began walking inside in many different directions. So with suitcase in hand, I wandered over to the woman named miss Impa. Already there were many other students there.

"Ok everyone I'm miss Impa, but everyone calls me Impa. I'm the school councillor so feel free to come by anytime. Now, I'll call out a name and when I do I want that person to come and collect their room number and key," Impa explained and began calling out names.

It wasn't long before my name was called out, and I took my room number and key. Block E room 47, it said. I quickly found block E and discovered I was on the fourth floor, there was no elevator so I had to walk up the stairs with suitcase, luckily for me I didn't have many belongings after the fire so my bag was light enough to carry up four flights of stairs. I reached the fourth floor and wandered down the hallway until I arrived at room 47 that was in a dark area of the corridor. I unlocked the door and entered the small room. Inside was a bed with a dresser beside it, a desk and a wardrobe beside was a door that lead to a small bathroom, there was one single, wide window in the room that provided a spectacular view of Hyrule field and it's many forests. The room was small, which made me feel as if I were trapped. I placed my suitcase on the bed and sat down at the window and stared out, wishing I were at home with my parents. But I knew that was impossible, I could never be with them again, I would never be loved again. I was alone in the world with nowhere to turn, nowhere to hide. I tasted the salt in the single tear I shed, but brushed it away.

So, what'd you guys think, very long chapter but hey everyone likes long chapters. I'd love reviews, especially if they contain motivation, constructive criticism, idea's, etc.
