I've been playing a lot of Zelda games lately out of boredom and this idea came while I was playing the Spirit Tracks game, so it will be like an AU for the story, I guess. It's my first Zelda fanfic, so please don't flame for the OOCness. This is also like a preface, the next chapter will be better.
Disclaimer: I don't own The Legend of Zelda. If I did I wouldn't be writing this fanfic
It was a clear and sunny day. I could see that from the many windows in my room. All the children from Hyrule city were playing happily outside and the adults seemed to be happier than other days. The bad thing?, That I, Princess Zelda, couldn't enjoy such a beautiful day. "And he even promised to let me go outside, since today is my sixteenth birthday" I muttered. My uncle, Chancellor Cole, had managed to make my father agree with his plan of not allowing me to go outside. I sighed, annoyed, and I started to walk in circles around my room. "What can I do, what can I do?" I continuously asked myself. I looked again out the window, but this time instead of focusing on the people of Hyrule City I looked at the castle's main gate.
My uncle was apparently talking to a big group of soldiers. I quickly dismissed it as unimportant and I got up a very thick book that was lying on my bed titled "Hyrule's History". I had read it five times this month; I nearly knew all of it. I started reading it again. Several minutes later I started getting a bad feeling. I looked again out of the window. This time many guards were running around the castle's gardens shouring something that sounded like "Get him!"And my uncle was talking to some citizens that had a worried face. "What is happening?" I asked myself loudly as I left the book again on my bed and I went out of my room, decided to discover what was happening.
The corridors were suspiciously empty. There wasn't half of the normal amount of guards. "Where is everyone?" I said as I walked along the many rooms in the castle. There wasn't a single guard seen. I then walked into a room that had the bodies of several guards lying on the floor. "What?" I said as I ran towards the bodies. "They have a pulse" I said, relieved because they weren't dead. I walked out of the room, decided to find my father or uncle and ask them what was happening.
After walking through several more rooms and corridors and finding more guards lying on the floor I arrived to the main hall, where official acts were held. I felt the bad feeling I had gotten earlier growing rapidly as I went in. Surprisingly, there was no one there. Not even my father. "Father?" I said as I went in, trying to find out if he was there. I heard a sudden 'thump' coming from the other end of the room. "Who is there?" I shouted, ready to defend myself with the few magic spells I knew. I then saw guard falling to the floor. I ran towards him. "Are you okay? What is happening?" I immediately asked him, very nervous. He tried to speak but he soon closed his eyes and fell asleep due to some poison, not managing to say anything. I heard some footsteps behind me. I turned around, my heart beating wildly, as if it was going to go out in any moment. "Who are you?" I asked when I saw the man behind me. He had black hair tied in a ponytail, tanned skin and pointed ears, yellow eyes and he was also covering the lower half of his face. He didn't answer. "Why are you wearing a cook's uniform? I have never seen you here" I continued saying, trying to make him talk. He chuckled and he stepped forward, getting closer to me. "Don't come closer!" I shouted while walking backwards, trying to scape from this man. I couldn't think of anything. I was paralyzed. The man continued getting nearer and nearer, and I continued walking backwards until I hit a wall. "No!" I thought. I was terrified. What did that man want? What would he do to me? I closed my eyes, terrified. I heard him whisper some words and I soon started to feel very tired and sleepy. "Someone help me" I managed to say before falling asleep and falling down.
