Alright, I'm not sure if this story will ever see the light of day. So I might be writing this part for nothing. This is the first fan fiction that I am writing, so please go easy on me. Also I am not a native English speaker so please excuse my bad grammar.

Revision: I must say, I looked at this and I nearly fainted at the level of bad this is.

Disclaimer: I do not own the legend of Zelda

So without further ado here is the intro of in the crosshairs

intro

Link

"Link, get your fat ass out of the bed!" screamed a voice downstairs "you're gonna be late for school!"… Who needs an alarm clock when you got a screaming lady?

I sit up. Careful not to hit my head on the low ceiling of my room, which just so happens to be a cupboard under a set of stairs. (A/N: my sister has been reading a TON of Harry Potter so that is where this comes from) I rub my eyes and climb out of bed, which just so happens to be a sleeping bag. Doing a low crouch, I open my door and walk down the hallway, I twist my torso to try to relieve some of my back pain and I feel a few bones crack. I do the same with my neck to try to relieve the tension.

I quickly go into the shower, and turn the water up very hot, at first, it is a painful sting, but after a few seconds, the warmth of the water soaks through my muscles, and temporarily washes away my stress. Grabbing the shampoo, I slowly wash my hair, trying to let the moment linger on. No pain, no stress, no fears. I close my eyes to enjoy the soothing feeling, and wash the shampoo away, suddenly, I hear the shower downstairs turn on. The water instantly turns from hot to cold. I open my eyes from the sudden change of temperature… not my smartest move. The shampoo runs down my face and into my eyes. I slam my eyes shut and turn off the water, then I grab a nearby towel and furiously rub my eyes. My good mood now gone, I walk to the sink to wash the rest of the shampoo off my head.

I walk down the hall, my hair in a complete mess, my eyes red, and a bump into the last person I want to see quite literally.

I let out a soft "ooof" as I round the corner and crash into shade.

"Well, well, what we have here?" shade said with a smirk.

I quickly step back. "I-Im S-sorry" I say, my voice shaky

"humph, just look out in the future" shade said with a sly grin and stepped out of links way.

I look at him surprised "oh…ok…sorry" letting my guard down, I walk pass, but at the last second, I see shade stuck out his leg and I trip falling face first into the hardwood floor.

Shade let out a loud laugh and whispered in link's ear "you better watch where you're going or next time I won't be so kind to you… or your sister" Shade snickered and got ready to kick me, but before he does that, I roll sideways, dodging the kick at the last second.

I narrowed my eyes. Shade hitting me is fine, he can do anything to me, but I'll never forgive myself if he hurts my sister. She's the only family I have left. "Don't you dare touch my sister." I growl. Shade smirks and turned around. "oh really? We'll see about that." Right when I think I left his field of vision, I spring forward trying to tackle him down. He turns back around, sending a back kick strait at my stomach, making me fall backwards, but I don't let up. Using the momentum of his kick, I roll backwards and end in the crouch position.

"If you even lay a single finger on my sister you can good bye to your hands"

"Empty threats are useless link."

"You better watch what you are saying or ill smear the wall with your face."

Shade turns back around. back choice "Like I said, empty thr-"

I've had enough of this conversation. And I jump back up like a frog, sailing through the air and smashing right into shades back, easily taking him down. I end up straddling him.

Shade finally coming back to his senses growls "get you fucking fat ass off of me"

I grab his arm pulling it back causing shade to yell out in pain, and pull shades head up by his hair. I want you to repeat after me: " I will not lay a single finger on Aryll"

"I aren't saying anything"

"Wrong." And I pull his arm back more and I can see the pain on his face. It almost makes me get off. I'm not like this, I'm better than him. But if I don't, he'll never let up "I'll say it one more time, and I'll say it nice and slow. I… will… not… lay… a… single... finger… on… Aryll." Smashing Shade's head against the ground with every word, anger dripping from every world said.

Shade clenched his mouth to keep from yelling out in pain and whispered "I will not lay a single finger on Aryll."

"LOUDER!" I was yelling now

"I WILL NOT LAY A SINGLE FINGER ON Aryll!" Shade shouted back.

Suddenly a fat lady bursts up the stairs, faster than what you may think is humanly possible for someone that obese.

"What the hell are you doing link!" yelled Mrs. Dark

"I'm… sorry…" I say, getting of shade, even though I didn't mean it. But she would have none of it. Grabbing me by the collar, she starts dragging me towards the wall. I struggle and kick but to no avail. She lifts me up, and slams me on the wall, a arm around my neck, choking me. She slams my head against the wall, pain shoots around my head with every hit. Until one massive hit, and I black out

That was three years ago…

Zelda

"Zeldaaaa. Get uuuupppp!" I hear my mom say in a singsong voice. "You don't want to be late for your first day of school"

"yesssss mooooommm" I reply back in a sarcastic whinny voice

I look at the clock 6:00. Why so early? But I wasn't the type to go back to sleep after waking up. So I grab my school clothes and skipped down the hall into the bathroom to take a shower.

After a long shower I hopped down the stairs "mhhhh" I hum "bacon…" I make her way to the kitchen drooling. My mom at the stove top cooking. I hear the bacon sizzling on the pan

"mom that smells…delicious!" I squeal. suddenly she heard someone yell

"I WILL NOT LAY A SINGLE FINGER ON ARYLL!"

"What was that about?" I looked around confused her mom didn't seem to notice the yelling… I'm probably just hearing things.

Her mom turned around and handed Zelda a bacon and egg sandwich in a plastic bag. Zelda looked at her mom confused

"Aren't I supposed to eat at home?"

"You are supposed to but Impa is still recovering from jet lag so you will have to go to school yourself. She hands me my lunch and some spare change for the bus

*SLAM*

"oh! That must be Mrs. Dark." I hear my mom say.

"Mrs. Dark…" Zelda shuddered at the memory of meeting the women yesterday. She looks really scary she Shure closes doors loudly…

"Well you better go now sweetie or you'll be late."

I smile at my mom, grabbing my backpack I walk out the door. "BYE MOM!" I yell.

"BYE ZELDA DEAR!" I hear her yell back.

I headed out the door. The first thing I see is a little girl crying. She looks to be around ten years of age. She has bright blond hair which she didn't comb this morning. I can see knots in her hair. "I wonder what she's crying about?" and I start to walk towards her, but saw a body lying still in the grass. It is boy about her age with dirty blond bangs and blood running down his mouth. I gasp and run towards her.

"oh my god, are you all right?" what I stupid question… of course she isn't

I take out my phone and dial 911

The little girl is sobbing uncontrollably

"M-my brother g-g-got beat u-up b-by my m-mom"

Oh my god… Ms. Dark? Is this her son? Doesn't look like her… Ms. Dark has black hair.

"911 can I help you?" I hear a sweet voice on the other side of the line

"There's a boy unconscious."

"Where do you live"

"3426, twenty fifth a-avenue, cross street, Haylia"

"Ambulance will arrive in a few minutes."

"thank you" and I close the phone

Suddenly the boy's eyes opened, he looked as if he is going to say some thing but started coughing violently. Blood dripping down his mouth, but what I notice are his eyes. Deep blue cobalt eyes. But they were unfocused. He vomits up blood and the girl asked a question, which I don't hear. He started to answer buy clutched his chest and fell backwards unconscious.

A few minutes later I see an ambulance coming and took him in to the car with a stretcher

"His ribs are broken. May have pierced his lung…" said one medic

"you."

I look up startled

"Are you the one that called?"

I nod my head.

"Good job. You just saved a boy's life"

I smile. Proud of my actions.

The girl follows them into the ambulance and they race away.

I clutch my stomach, suddenly feeling sick and I make my way to the bus stop. A few blocks down. When the bus passed the house, I look back out the window, and Ms. Darks house is surrounded by three cop cars.

That was three years ago…

Wow... I finished the first chapter… well if you haven't figured it out yet italics are thoughts or flashbacks if I decide to incorporate them. I'm probably gonna continue this fic because it was really fun to write this chapter.

Remember to review ;) Positive and negative comments will help me with my work. And if it's gonna be negative don't be all like 'this fic sucks; you can never be a writer, you're a waste of space so go die in a hole.' Please tell me why it sucks so I can make is better.

Revision: just realize that there is a replace chapter button…after I deleted my intro and lost my views… lulz
