A/N: Alright this is a LinkXOC which is unpopular and I know a lot of people on fanfiction hate OC's. I'm just trying to branch out and be a little bit different with my story line b/c I'm sick of reading LinkXZeldaXMalonXSariaXMidna w/e. Plus I'm trying to be a little bit more creative in my writing and give a different twist on the typical Zelda plots. Please just give it a try, and if you hate if for the shitty writing, I can't blame you, but please don't hate it b/c of the OC. I hope you enjoy.

Disclaimer: I don't own Zelda

Chapter One

Unforunate Events

I'm not going to bother lying with you. I'll just be upfront and honest. I was utterly terrified of Hyrule Castle. Perhaps it was my days of exposure to the sun or my loss of familiarity with large land structures since all I had seen for the past months were small villages and rolling hills across the planes. But something about the high and well built structure of the castle surrounded by the leering stone wall that protected the castle from intruders, from people like me…was petrifying.

Somehow that money didn't seem worth it anymore…I hurriedly checked my skirt to make sure that the dagger was hidden securely in my waist band, hidden from sight and suspicious guards, the last thing I needed was another banishment. "Come Lucy." I instructed my 8-year-old sister to follow me towards the gate. She knew nothing of the conspiracy that was going on and nothing of the deal I had made; she just followed me along willingly. Of course, she had no other choice. We have no other family to care for her.

We slowly crossed across the lowered door that permitted our entrance and I instantly felt the breath being sucked out of my lungs. I needed to remember to breath or I'd never get through the day unscathed. I heard Lucy give out a soft whimper as she crooned over her aching feet. The sound of her in despair broke my heart. Her tiny and fragile face was covered with dirt and sweat and her hay colored hair wisped freely around her heart shaped complexion. I wanted so desperately to take away her pain, she deserved better. She deserved a mother, and a safe place to stay. She shouldn't have to be forced to wander from place to place with me on my journeys. Scraping for food and shelter every night. But most of all I didn't deserve her. I had to remind myself that my killings were for her benefit.

"It'll get better baby I swear." I promised hopefully as I managed a meek smile to escape from my cracked lips. It was the last thing I wanted to do in my nervous state but that seemed to calm Lucy. I squeezed her hand lightly as we slipped casually through the gate. The guard's eyes met mine and I was expecting some sort of inquisition but all I received was a polite smile and a friendly nod. I felt a load lifted off my shoulders. The hardest part was over.

It would be nearly impossible to find my target. Castle Town was crammed full of bustling citizens, all ranging from different types of sizes and shapes running busily to and fro. Their faces whisking by mine at such fast paces that it was nearly impossible to decipher what I had just seen. That and my boss hadn't exactly explained my victim as well as I had hoped.

"Look for the man in green. You'll know what I'm talking about." I ran those words through my head trying to get some meaning from them for about the 100th time. I looked around cautiously looking for some man wearing green. I saw several but none of them looked important enough to be assassinated. They all just looked like commoners, most carrying produce or big bags from place to place. This wasn't going to be an easy day…

"Lucy, do you remember the rules?" I checked. I had enough to worry about and I didn't want Lucy to act up like she did in Termina. That was a very painful near death experience that I don't like remembering.

She eagerly nodded but I could tell she wasn't paying attention to me. She was staring at a nearby fruit stand, filled with apples, oranges, pears, and strawberries. I saw her tiny mouth water, how could I have forgotten that she hadn't eaten all day?

"Lucy!" I tugged at her arm before she could sway towards the sweet smell of the fruit.

"I know! Stay close to you, don't talk to strangers, and don't get in your way. Then when you tell me to hide, I hide and close my eyes until you come back." She repeated to me, but she wasn't exactly looking at me. Her blue eyes were fixated on the fresh produce.

I sighed and hoped that her hungry pains could subside for the time being. I'd have to steal her some food later, but for now I wanted to remain in low profile. Then after I'd finished the job I'd hijack a horse for us and we'd be on our way again. It sounded so simple if I put it that way, but in the pit of my stomach I was queasy and it felt as if I had eaten a stone for breakfast.

I peered around once more and to no avail did I see a distinct man in green. I was being to get angered. Perhaps I'd been sent on a wild goose chase? "Lucy, do you see that guard tower up there? I want you to go climb it for me." I spoke harshly but quietly.

Lucy's eyes got wide as I said this. She hated heights but she knew the more she listened to me the faster we'd be gone. I waited until she was halfway up the tower before I began to follow her. She was sort of like my patsy, if a guard yelled at me. My excuse would be that my little sister ran up and I had to retrieve her.

Climbing to the top the view was much better. I had a bird's eye view of Castle Town and I had a good sight of Hyrule Field as well. In the distance I saw the figure of a horse and rider, I tried helplessly to adjust my eyes, but they were to far away to distinguish after a few seconds I gave up and thought nothing of it before looking down below. Then multiple things happened at once.

First I noticed that Lucy was no where to be seen. Second the dagger concealed in my waist band had popped out on my way up. Third a guard with his sword drawn was running towards the direction of the tower and the fourth I fell. Tripping over my own skirt in the haste to get up, my foot caught and I began to plummet towards the stone.

As I waited for the harsh impact to fill me, I felt nothing. I was on the ground already but nothing hurt. Sheepishly I stood up and realized that I had fallen on some poor plump woman who had the misfortune of walking beneath me. She shrieked out in pain but I didn't have time to help her. I apologized quickly before I grabbed the fallen dagger to the left of me.

The plump woman below got the wrong message.

"Murderer!" she squealed loudly. "Assassin in Hyrule!" she yelled out again. The already angered guard came clambering towards me. I hurriedly dashed away quickly. I was getting ready to head for the exit when I suddenly remembered that Lucy was still missing.

"Shit!" I cursed as I ran back, the befuddled guard ordered me to halt but I kept running. A few townsfolk became alarmed at my presence and started screaming and to my horror some of the men and a few of the bulkier women tried to stop me. "It's not what you think!" I tried to yell out to make them understand. No one was listening though, they were right not to trust me. I was a murderer but I didn't mean to inflict harm on any of them.

A stampede of people pushed through one another and I let out a cry for Lucy. I looked for her tiny blonde head in the massive throng of bewildered citizens but saw nothing. I began to fear that she'd been trampled to death.

I hid my dagger in my waist again and began to follow the wave of the crowd hoping that they'd lead me to Lucy somehow. I kept shouting out her name but I still didn't see her. Meanwhile I have to worry about the guards that are now chasing me.

I see an opening, a crack in-between to building, if I can squeeze through fast enough then maybe I'll be able to escape the guards sight and throw them off for a while giving me more time to find Lucy calmly. I squeeze my starved and shrunken body through which is extremely easy and hold my breath. My long chocolate brown hair is stuck in my mouth and sticking to the sides of my throat. I'm panting heavily but trying to stay quiet. After what feels like forever, I see the last of the guards pass by. I let out a sigh of relief and sneak back through to the main road.

Most of the town has received the message of danger and ran to their homes by now. I pull my tattered black hood over my head trying to look casual and hide my face in hopes it will conceal me. My footsteps echo through as I walk and my eyes are flicking back and forth. "Where is Lucy?" I worriedly think. My green eyes are brimming with tears. If she is harmed…or… I can't bear to think of the thought of Lucy being trampled to death. If she is, I may have to kill myself. I couldn't live with myself knowing that I'd put her in danger.

Then suddenly I realize where she must've gone. She went back to the fruit. Of course! I want to smack myself in the face. I was so idiotic! I ran as fast as I can without being noticed back to the produce section. I'm expecting to see her; I know she has to be there.

"Lucy?" I cry out excitedly. But still there is no answer. "Lucy!" My voice is quavering and high pitched.

"I believe this is yours." I hear behind me. I jumped about a foot before turning around. I had no idea there was a set of stairs that lead to a bar down below! Turning around I instantly see Lucy. She has a smug smile on her face as she bites away at a red apple, my stomach jolts. Lucy is safe and I'm very ecstatic for that, but I wish someone else could be holding her.

"Look for the man in green. You'll know what I'm talking about." To my dismay, I do know what my boss is talking about. Holding Lucy is a man about my age with honey blonde hair and striking blue eyes. He is garbed in a green tunic equipped with his boots, gauntlets, and hidden in his belt is a large shining sword. This is the man I'm supposed to assassinate, and he's holding my little sister in his built and muscular hands.

Hope you liked! Please review. Tell me your thoughts, what do I need to improve on. What do you think of the OC (whose name we don't know yet) Lucy? The idea of an assassin? My writing...ex. Grammar, punctuation, spelling? Anything you give me would be appreciated.
