Chapter 1: The Strange Gift

I wasn't that much of a kid anymore before I reached the age of eighteen. All of my beliefs on magic and other such hocus-pocus had dispelled from my brain and I was a wise and gorgeous young woman. I had a boyfriend named Sebastian Acer who had plan's on taking me to the prom later on in the year and in my head I had noted very delicately: if we were still together by that time.

"Freesia! Breakfast is ready!" shrieked my mother from below my bedroom.

"Be there in a second!" I called back.

I had put two braids on the sides of my head- leaving the rest to fall upon my shoulders. My hair color was a mix of black, brown, red, and blonde since I had tried in vain to dye my ridiculously dull black hair. My outfit was the same- black converse and an all-black outfit. Let's just say I have an obsession for that seemingly dark color.

I trotted down the stairs and got the usual greeting from my dad and mother. My bigger brother, James, was elsewhere.

I hugged my daddy and kissed my mothers cheek and past my breakfast.

"Keep it for James," I grinned as I snatched my books and left my home.

What I didn't know was that I was going to meet an old woman who would give me a heart attack for going down the alley way I normally took for three years just to get to my high school.

"You! Hey!" she shrieked.

I bared my teeth, sighed and turned to meet my possible death.

"Y-yes?" I stammered. I sucked at talking to old people... but mostly strangers…

The old woman laughed and pointed at my chest. "You wear no jewelry."

I clenched my teeth and my fists tightened around my books.

"I-I have no n-need for th-them. It's only for v-v-vain people and s-selfish others. N-not f-f-for me…"

The old woman cackled. "Well I'm not vain and of course, we both no neither are you. So if you don't want me to hurt your family or you- you'll wear this necklace," she snarled tossing a golden necklace at me.

I looked down at it and saw it was in the shape of a solid gold triangle.

I shook my head vigorously and looked up at the old woman. Her white hair blew in the gusty wind and her arms looked muscular.

"I can't take this… It's… I… I don't deserve it!" I told her profusely.

The woman laughed once more. "Respect your elders and accept this gift I am giving to you. When you are in need I want you to think of the world Zelda," she instructed.

I looked up at her incredulously. The Legend of Zelda was my number one obsession when I was small… My big brother had introduced it to me and I had aced Ocarina of Time within two days.

"Who are you?" I asked my tone high and shrill. This woman was scaring me.

The woman tossed back her head and laughed once more. "The name's Impa."

I gasped and with a puff of smoke- 'Impa' was gone.

I stood there frozen in the alley way with the necklace still clutched in my hand.

That must've been the first day out of my whole school record that I've skipped school. Racing home with the necklace finally around my neck, I entered through the back of my empty home.

Thankfully, my parents had already left for work, and James was away at his college school.

The only think alive and breathing in the empty house was me- and I hated being alone in a big house. I made my way across the kitchen and saw my dad's dishes in the sink and the warmth still resonating off of the kitchen stove.

All was silent, and I set my books down in my room. I locked my door and sat next to my phone. Should I call Seb? No, I didn't want him to be included or hurt in anyway. But I had to tell him why I wasn't there.

I pulled out my cell from under my pillow and dialed his number.

It began to ring and pensively I stroked the golden triangle.

"You're in trouble Freesia Strike. You're not here and you're calling me during school," purred Seb's voice dangerously.

My heart froze and my eyes widened. "Are you answering this in class?" I asked in a shrill tone.

"No, I'm in the boy's restroom. You're lucky I managed to leave here and receive your without getting caught. Why what's wrong? You sick or something?"

"Do I sound like I'm sick?"

"…No. You sound like someone's out to get you."

I ran over to my window drapes and drew them together loudly. I didn't want the outside world to see my in panic.

I suddenly heard his breathing pattern change. "You're in trouble."

"No really?" I choked out in fear.

"Are you still in the house?"

"Yes."

"Is anyone in the house with you?"

"No- I mean yes- I don't know but I think they're watching me."

"I'm on my way."

"No! If you come they might hurt you… Or she… Or…." I sighed in a panicked tone.

"Freesh, I could care less if I get hurt- It's you I worry about," Seb stated.

I cried out a little as I had tripped over my stupid shoelace and crash-landed into my vanity. My phone fell out of my hand and landed a fair distance away from me.

"What was that?! Freesia, are you there?! FREESIA!" Seb shrieked in panic.

I tried to reach a hand out to grab it and protest that I was okay, but I must have hit my head too hard. I began to see colors through my closed eyelids and with one last terrifying effort I-

Blacked out.
