I have been wanting to write this for a long time and finally I have made a start!
This is I suppose a lot more...comedic than my other works which focus on some dark stuff...but also like my other works it will be laidened with passion, agony, lust and love...
Please leave your thoughts in the comment section to let me know what you think of the first chapter!
Your input means so much to me and always helps me carry on writing!
Best wishes to you all. X
'Right, let's check out the old list...'
She wiggles into her huge lime green beanbag and holds up a scrunched piece of paper to her face.
'Okay...so snacks yes, can give that a tick,' She takes a marker pen and marks number one with a thick tick beside it. 'Number two, refreshments.' She smirks to herself while turning her head to the side to marvel at the stash of juice beside her on the floor, she whips her head back to the list and draws another tick with an exaggerated flick of her wrist. 'Yep, got that nailed. And number three...new Zelda game that had me taking a week off work pretending I have explosive diarrhoea from food poisoning...' She holds up the golden case in front of her and sings out a heavenly note...and holds it...and holds it...then finally gasps for breath when there was no more. 'Yep, got that covered.' She ticks it with a wide smirk, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
'Oh it's been too long Link...too long since I saw that angelic "I want to take advantage of you face." 'But I know you'd like it...in time' She cackles to herself and kisses the game cover. 'This week is just about me and you...'
She screams and jumps as her phone's ringtone, the Lost Woods, interrupts her moment. It was as if her mother had been watching her the whole time with disgust and disgrace and was now calling to finally disown her.
She kicks out as she reaches from her pit for the phone on the floor, kicking her bowl of popcorn in the process.
She groans, 'oh bitch!'
She picks up the phone and freezes when she realised who was calling...it was Maggie... she had forgotten their tradition...well she remembered it now...but it was too late, she was already settled and ready for some Hyrule action.
She takes a breath before answering the phone with the cheesiest smile, 'Hey my bestest, old buddy, oldest friend in the whole wide world...'
'If this was really my bestest friend, formerly known as Candice answering the phone, then she should know that she has completely forgotten a tradition that her and her dear friend Maggie have had since they were kids!'
'I haven't forgotten, and that's Candy to you...look I have explosive diarrhoea, must have been from some bad...vegetables or something.'
'You really think that disgusting excuse is gonna work on me, you recall it was I who gave you that one to work with because no one ever questions anyone who says that! I mean who would? It would be sooo embarrassing...'
'Yeah, I know but I really do have it...I'm in bed and everything.' She says while shovelling a handful of skittles into her mouth...discretely of course.
'...so you're telling me your not sitting in that rotten beanbag, wearing your gamer shorts and pink Triforce hoodie surrounded by confectionary and sugary drinks?' Maggie said with that all knowing tone of hers.
She looks around her and bites her lip, the girl knew her too well, 'wrong, you know I gave up fizzy drinks.'
'Candy how could you! It's our tradition, every time a new Zelda game is released with buy it together, play the first part together and drool over that hot little bastard.'
'I know but I was really unwell this morning,' Lie, she was actually hung-over from the family get together...too much cheap wine; she didn't even like wine or drinking for that matter, but she was so bored.
'So what? Now we have to break our tradition, it's not the same perving on my own; I need my fellow pervy companion.' Maggie whined.
She had to hold the phone away from her ear afraid the awful sound of desperate whining would deafen her. 'Look, let me have today to get over whatever this is, hopefully it's a twenty four hour thing and then we can begin the tradition...maybe tomorrow?'
'...And you won't start it without me?'
She looked down at her console, powered up and ready to go, she had even put in the disc already...all she had to do was put it on the right channel.
'Oh my god Candy!' Maggie wailed.
'Yeah yeah okay, I won't start it without ya.' She said feeling deflated.
'Promise?'
She looked down at her free hand and closed her eyes with complete shame as she crossed her fingers, 'Promise.' She said through clenched teeth, god she was just an awful person.
It had been just ten minutes since she had ended the call with her overbearing bestie. She had kept her word though, instead she had just rocked backwards and forwards like a complete loon. She stared at the cover, it was calling to her, she knew it.
I know I'm gonna break my promise, so what the hell am I waiting for?
She held up her fingers and crosses them as she had done before, 'I crossed these didn't I? So I knew I was going to betray her...'
Biting her lip she picks up the remote and hits the button for HDMI 1.
Her eyes widened as she took up her controller and pressed for the game to start. 'I'll only play the first hour or so...she won't know, I'll just get a feel of it...'
Her sentence was cut off as beautiful yet familiar notes began serenading her.
'Just an hour...just an hour.
Four Hours Later...:
'Yes, yes! Come on you sexy bitch, slice that demon up!'
Link slashes one, two, three times, 'Okay going in for the killer shot now...' She leans in, her eyes glued to the screen.
With a yell and a lunge Link defeats the demon with a final blow.
Kicking her legs and arms with victory she yells out, 'Victorious!'
She takes a breathe as everything calms down as Link is teleported from the dungeon. Taking a swig of her orange juice she looks him up and down, 'you know that green tunic-brown leggings combo never gets old link, ya still look hot.' She giggles and coughs as juice goes down the wrong way.
She must have coughed for a good few minutes for as when she looks back towards the screen to find Link alone, in a dark room with an old hag.
She scrunches her face up with confusion, 'Um since when?' She pulls down on the stick, but he doesn't move, he stays still, listening to the hag.
'Um, excuse me Linkus, but I kinda want you out of there, she gives me the creeps...and how did you get there anyway.'
She tries moving him again but he is frozen.
She huffs, 'Oh god, don't tell me it's glitched or something already? I've just got started...' She glances over to her clock in the kitchen and her mouth drops, 'What time is it? Crap, I've got to get to bed.'
She frowns when she finds Link was still in front of the hag but now it looked like she was...strangling him with some magic crap.
'Ah! No, what the hell?' She resorts to button mashing but stops as the screen suddenly flicks and freezes.
She sits still feeling confused and a little afraid, 'Did I break Zelda?' She leans forward and concentrates on the screen, it still looked like they were moving...but why did they look so weird?
She jumps as a high pitched shrill fills up the room. She covers her ears, 'Ah! Christ, the games gone mental!'
What the hell was going? Why is there noise? What's with this hag and why is she...looking at me?
She watches with horror as the hag screeches with laughter and points directly at her.
The last thing she sees is Link's face coming towards the screen as he is thrown towards it...towards her. BANG!
Smoke...I know I can smell smoke and it stinks.
She groans, my god, her head, the throbbing...
She crocks open her eyes. Panic soon began to make itself known as her vision was blurry. Her ears were ringing and her chest was so heavy...so heavy.
'Ow...my chest.' She lifts up her arm but it doesn't budge...wait...why can't I lift my arms?
She lifts her head up and notices black smoke. She follows it down but a head of blonde hair blocks her view.
Wait...head of blonde hair? On my chest? There is someone on top of me?
She blinks rapidly, helping her eyes regain their focus once again. She lifts her head up fully now and looks down onto her body. But it wasn't her body she saw, it was...no...It couldn't be...
I have completely lost my mind. Maybe I've had some kind of stroke? Or this was one hell of a lucid dream.
'Um...hello?' She whispers.
Why am I whispering? I need him to get off...but it can't be him...
Gritting her teeth she pushes and rolls out from under his limp body.
A little breathless she hesitates before turning around to face the scene. She does and almost screams.
Her TV! The smoke was coming from a gaping hole in the middle of her 55 inch flat screen!
Her legs began trembling as she finally willed her eyes to look over to the beanbag.
'Oh sugar, honey, iced, tea...' It was him...Link...knocked out...sprawled onto top of her bean bag.
A moment passes before she begins laughing and she couldn't stop. It just burst out from her, this insistent maniacal laughter.
Have I fallen down the rabbit hole or something? What was going on? how is he here and why?
She looked at her TV again, it was still sparking.
'That looks dangerous...' She muttered and began tip toeing her way to the plug socket. Bending down she grimaces from pain, 'Oh my god, I think he may have broke a few ribs...but how could he?' This is obviously all a dream...a very lucid and realistic dream...' She looks over to him again as she pulls out the plug.
I have to touch him...it's the only way I'll know if this is real or not...dreams always feel different no matter how realistic they are, you can always tell it's a dream.
She slowly turned on the floor lamp, illuminating the room with a warm glow. That's when she got to really look at his face...of what she could see under those blonde locks that had fallen over half over it.
She knelt in, both knees cracking as she did making her grit her teeth. 'God, am I really that old?' She moaned to herself.
She focused on him again still not believing her eyes...but like she had told herself, this was all a dream.
She tentatively touched his fallen locks and pulled her hand back with a little squeal. 'Oh all things holy, that is some soft and luscious hair he's got going there... more luscious than I ever imagined him having.'
She waited for a moment to regain some self control and again reached in and carefully pulled back his hair.
She almost whimpered...he was...the most...beautiful thing she had even seen.
'I've decided that I obviously died and went to heaven.' She whispers to herself.
She lunges herself back and falls on her arse as he begins to groan. Yes that groan sounded way sexier than it should have but she couldn't dwell on that now.
She remained completely frozen as she watched him begin to come to. He groaned again and then his eyes began fluttering open.
She bit her lip; maybe hiding would be wise because she didn't know how he was going to...react to her...to all of this?
It was too late though as Link lifted himself from the beanbag and managed to sit himself up.
He had his head in his hands for the longest time before finally he looked up and around him before those huge blue eyes of his found her.
'Umm hello.' She meekly greets and waves a tiny wave at him.
He's motionless for a few moments before he gasps and stands up. He wobbles and holds his head groaning that deep, sensual groan again...okay he really had to stop that.
'Uh...Link? It's okay...' She said scrabbling to her feet, she didn't want him freaking out...this was her dream after all and she would have control of it.
He stopped and looked at her again, those piercing blue eyes studying her.
She smiled sweetly, still holding her arms out before her in surrender. 'I know this may all seem a bit...scary...but this is only a dream...'
He sneered suddenly turning those angelic features of his into something she never thought she would see on his face and it scared her.
Before she could blink he had unsheathed his sword and was pointing it directly at her.
'Oh god!' She yelled, shit he is going to kill me...; dream or not it was scary.
'Please...Link, I mean you no harm, I wan to help us both have a pleasant dream and then wake up okay...' She said shakily.
He growled and began making his way towards her. She immediately backed into the wall and pushed herself into it with her arms at her side.
She couldn't do anything as he came closer but then stopped suddenly.
She watched as his eyes lost their aggression and became round and gentle once more.
She frowned when she realised where his eyes had fixed themselves on. She crossed her arms over her chest quickly, 'Hey, I know your hot and all but don't think you can just ogle me after you just went all dark Link on me.'
He blushed suddenly which caught he off guard...mainly because it was so incredibly adorable.
He then straightened and quickly sheathed in his sword and knelt down in front of her, bowing his head down to the floor.
She just stood there, not knowing why the hell he had done that, 'um...Link?'
'Forgive me.' He said hoarsely.
She just stared at the stop of his head, his green hat was miraculously still on and hanging to one side of his face.
'Wait did you? You just spoke?' She asked, shocked to the core, Link never speaks.
'Please, forgive me your highness.' He said again, this time a little more softly.
Your highness? Why on earth was he calling me that? I don't even look like Zelda..., not with my long, black curly hair...everyone calls it exotic...I call it the bane of my life.
She...doesn't know what to say, he must come to the same conclusion because with one swift motion he lifts his head and looks directly at her.
'Please, tell me where I am.' He asks softly
