Hey, everybody, its ZPF... again. I finished my second story's first chapter! Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING! Well, I do own my OCs, and this plot... Never mind. Now, I present to you... Rejected!
"Hey, Alex, wake up," A young vampire teen was nudging her twin brother awake with a look of impatience on her face.
"Huh? Oh," Alex said wearily, wiping his eyes and yawning. He grabbed his luggage and got up from the bus seat, stretching. He nearly knocked over Selene while doing so. "Oops! Are you okay, sis?"
"I'm fine, don't worry so much," Selene easily kept her balance and grabbed her own luggage. She ran out of the bus and into the sunlight, blinking to adjust to the changing brightness. Alex followed sleepily, and looked at their new home.
"Wow, this place is amazing," The two twins stared at the mansion, which looked about three stories high, and a forest behind the backyard made the property look marvelous.
"Come on; let's go see who else already lives here!" Selene said as she made a sprint for the door with Alex in hot pursuit.
"Wait! We don't know how hostile they might be!" Selene made it to the door first and rung the doorbell. Alex made it to Selene's side right before the door creaked open, and what opened the door made the two jaw-drop.
"Hello, there. Are you two the twins I was expecting?" A giant floating hand was floating there, waiting for a response. After a minute, the hand spoke up, somehow without moving a mouth of any sort, "Uh, are you two wax figures or something? Is this a prank?" He started to turn red with anger.
Alex decided to say something first, "H-hi, giant... F-floating... Hand..." He stammered.
He turned back into the bright white he was before and spoke calmly, "I have a name, you know. I'm Master Hand, and you are?"
Selene finally spoke, stepping forward, "I-I'm Selene, and this is my brother, Alex. We are the ones you were expecting, Master Hand. Can we just call you Master?"
"Sure, but some of us in there might think that you are referring to Master Chief."
"Why, is he in there?" Alex asked quickly, looking behind the owner of the mansion, trying to find Master Chief, but just seeing a small, yellow mouse walk by, talking to a green dinosaur with a red saddle and sneakers.
"No, I'm afraid he's not here, but he might be sometime in the future," Master Hand replied.
"Oh..." Alex hung his head once he heard this.
"Well, Alex is a big fan of Halo, obviously, so he just wanted to take a look to see if Master Chief was there," Selene said impatiently.
"Well, maybe I should show you two your rooms," Master Hand said, turning around, "You both will be happy to hear that you will be getting separate rooms."
"We are? Oh, thank you!" Selene said, "We've shared a room for years, and now we get our own rooms?"
"That's right, Selene. You get your own rooms, but one of you will be sharing a room with someone else."
"And which one of us would that be?" Alex questioned.
"You will find that out when you get your rooms."
Master Hand showed Selene to her room first, and she was relived that she was not sharing a room with anyone. However, she knew that Alex would be sharing a room with someone else, so she decided to follow Master Hand and Alex, but she wanted to go unseen. After Master Hand left to show Alex his room, Selene wondered how to sneak by the two.
"Hmm, how will I sneak by them without anyone noticing?" Then she got an idea.
She got the idea by seeing a fly flying around her room, and, carefully, she grabbed it in her hands, not killing it. Then she held it by one of the wings, and gently put it up against her moon-shaped necklace. It mysteriously glowed after contact with the insect.
She then transformed into a fly.
Selene flew out of the doorway and started to follow Master Hand and Alex. After catching up to them, she made sure that Alex would not see her, because he knew when she was an animal or insect by looking at her. They had a very strong connection because Alex could do the same thing as Selene, but only used it when he needed to. The only time he did, it was to protect Selene from the vampire hunters when their mother was still alive.
When Master Hand got to Alex's room, he explained about what his roommate was like, "Now, your roommate is a very, how some put it, evil. He has been stealing princesses and sacred items ever since 1986. He is the worst Gerudo in the video game world. He is..." He opened the door, showing a very dark man wearing all black and whose hair is red. "Gannondorf."
"Hello, tiny human. Call me Gannon, because if you don't, you will go through a battle you cannot win," Gannon pulled out his two swords he rarely uses and held them up to Alex's neck.
"Gannon! Be nice to your roommate, or I will send you back to Hyrule where you will remain for the rest of your life! Moreover, he is not human! He is half-vampire!"
The Gerudo put the swords away and glared at Alex, "Yes, Master Hand."
That night, during dinner
Alex was eating dinner alone, with occasional glares from Gannon at the other side of the table. He was hoping for at least someone to sit near him. When he thought everyone had sat down, two people walked over, both looking vaguely like each other, and sat down across from Alex.
The smaller one, apparently the younger one, spoke first, "Hey, why're you alone? You should go and sit by those people over there," He pointed at where the big, evil-looking ones (and the one that looked normal, except the fact that he was a fat bird with a giant hammer) were, which was also where Gannon was sitting.
"Hey, there might be a reason why he's not sitting over there, because look who's over there," The older one said, and the younger one looked over at where he pointed, seeing Gannon and a giant turtle with red hair and spikes coming out of his shell, "What's your name, anyways? Haven't seen you before."
"I'm Alex," Alex said, "Who're you?"
"I'm Link, and this is my little brother, Young Link," The older one said, ruffling the younger one's hair.
"Hey, quit it!" Young said, fixing his hair.
"Well, you're my bro, so I have to!"
"Oh, go pick on Toon Link next time! He's closer to your age!"
"Nah, not as fun. Besides, he is never in the mood for that sort of thing. He always gets up and walks away, I think he's depressed about not being as popular as us," He looked over at what looks like another Link, but the main difference was that he was alone and he looked more cartoonish.
"You guys should meet my sister, Selene," Alex said, "She could get along with Young."
"You think so?" Young said, "I think I saw her today," His face turned as red as Gannon's hair, "She's kinda pretty."
"Ooh, someone's in love with a newcomer," Link said, nudging Young with his elbow.
"Shut up!" The lunchroom went quiet and everyone looked at Young, even Selene. He looked around in embarrassment, "What?"
Meanwhile
Selene was eating dinner alone, just like Alex was, but instead of someone coming, nobody even looked like considering to sit by her. When she heard someone say "Shut up!" from the other side of the lunchroom, she had to see who it was. When he looked around, he just asked, "What?"
Later that evening
Selene was in her room, looking out the window, when Alex came in.
"Hey, Selene. What's wrong?"
"Oh, I, uh, saw someone giving you some hostile looks during dinner, and I was wondering why. Is he your roommate, by chance?"
"Yeah, he is. His name is Gannondorf."
"Heh, Gannondorf. What a funny name. I can imagine a nickname for him right now."
"Oh, no. What is it?"
"Gannondork!" She started laughing her head off.
Alex face palmed, "Don't call him that. In fact, don't even call him Gannondorf, call him Gannon."
"Okay, I won't."
"Good. Well, it's getting late. Goodnight, Selene."
"Goodnight, Alex."
Master Hand suddenly came in, "Hello, twins. I almost forgot to tell you that you go for tryouts tomorrow."
"Oh, alright. We'll be there," Selene said.
"Good, I just wanted you to know," Master Hand left, and then, for some reason, reentered, saying, "HaI, nEwCoMeRs! wElCoMe To ThE sMaSh MaNsIoN1!1"
"Crazy! Get over here!" A hand, apparently Master Hand, grabbed the imposter and dragged him into the office near the front entrance.
"Who was that?" Selene asked.
"Master Hand was telling me about his twin brother, Crazy Hand. That must've been him."
"Probably. Well, goodnight."
"Goodnight, Selene," When Alex left the room, Selene continued looking out the window, and she swore she saw a flying person out of the corner of her eye.
In Alex's room
Alex knew that if Gannon wasn't very fond of him, he would try to anger Alex. He knew if the evil Gerudo found out about how he cared about Selene as much as he does, he would pick on his only family member he has left.
He was glad that his roommate was hanging out with some friends apparently named "Bowser" and "Wario". Whoever they were, they must be evil as well.
"I wonder how Selene and I are going to make it through the first week. Everyone I've met so far except Gannon seem nice, but what about the girls? What if they don't like Selene?" Alex wondered to himself.
"Oh, that other newcomer must be your sister," Alex looked in the doorway to see Gannon standing there, smiling. "Thanks for telling me. Now I know how to get you to leave the mansion so I will not have anyone to share a room with anyone."
Alex's eyes widened, "If you do that..." He said with a hint of anger in his voice.
"Oh, do not worry, I will not kill her. I just wish for you and your sister to go take a hike. Maybe go play with Lizalfos or a Moblin without any weapons.*"
"This is the only place where I feel accepted by everyone I met, well, except you, and I bet Selene feels the same way. So until one of us is not accepted by anyone, we are staying."
"I understand. Now, I will go visit my friends for real," Gannon left the room and headed in the opposite direction of Selene's room, so Alex was 99% sure that Gannon meant what he said.
Please tell me if you find Crazy Hand's way of talking is confusing (I mEaN aS iN tHiS kInD oF tAlKiNg). I don't want to puzzle anyone. I will accept some transforming requests in the form of reviews. However, if I don't know what they are, or if I can't find anything about them, I don't post them. A lot of credit goes to Starryskyknight and Emi Hylia for giving me ideas and getting Selene and Alex to come to this site. I will make at least 15 chapters for this story. Well, get ready for a new chapter soon!

Okay, now review or get lost. ;)
