Note: Each chapter is going to alternate with the point of views for the characters of this fanfic. I just wanted to tell you that so you don't get confused and what not. ^^
DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything related to the Legend of Zelda game series. I own the plot and Kurai.
* ~Kurai's PoV~*
After I had ran into that young man, I had ran home. Or at least, what's left of it. I live in an old broken village outside of Castle Town deep in Hyrule Field. More like on the brink of Hyrule Field.
I walked through the walkway of my "house" and sat down at the table. I put the loaf of bread, 2 apples and 5 plums wrapped in the cloth of my dress on the table. I lived alone. I had no family. They were all sick and died a couple years back. I'm not really sure what happened, all I know is I am all that's left. I'm not Hylian. I can't be. I'm an outcast. I steal food and some cloth for simple things I need because I'm not able to get a job. I take things I need, not want. I don't see anyhting wrong with me. What in the Goddess's name is wrong with me? What did I do? I don't intrude on people and ruin their lives. I'm rarely ever in town! Bread and fruit can keep me alive for a few weeks. I see nothing wrong with me.
I sighed and walked into the back room. It had a few sheets on the floor, cloth, thread, needles, and one weapon...a bow. I had nearly anything. I walked to the table and took a small chunk of break and ate one of the plums. My stomach growled loudly and I headed straight for bed.
~TimeSkip to the next day~
When I woke up, I did my morning chores. I cleaned, fed my horse, used the rest of my water to water the flowers that lined the graves at the graveyard, I fixed up my cloak, cleaned my bow, and finally ate another small chunk of bread. When I was done, I headed for Lake Hylia. I brought a spare change of clothes and a sheet for a towel, along with a bucket to get water for the next couple of weeks.
When I arrived at Lake Hylia, I stripped down and got into the warm water. I rinsed my hair and scrubbed my body with a wash cloth and some herbal self-made soap. After I finished, I got dressed and dried my hair. I went up to the bay and filled the bucket full of fresh water. I was strong for a 16 year old girl. I was well built in my opinion, but most Hylian girls were always more beautiful than me. Not that it mattered. They all lived for men, I lived for myself. I never had someone I loved, except my parents of course.
When I reached home, I put things where they went and settled at my front porch. My horse, Lilly, came up and nuzzled my shoulder. She was a white horse with a black mane and tail. Her eyes were a dazzling bright green. She was the most beautiful horse I've ever seen and no one could change my mind. I smiled as she whinnied softly. It was clear as to what she wanted when she got down to my level. I smiled.
"Alright, I'll be back." I ran inside and grabbed my bow and a riding blanket I made for her. I slipped on my boots. I only use them for certain events, like riding or going for a stroll in the thick forest around. I came out and put the bow and a few arrows I have carved around my torso. I put the blanket on her back and climbed on. She immediantly got up into a gallop when she felt my weight on her. I laughed and enjoyed the ride.
We stopped some way into the forest and took some time to enjoy the scenery. We stopped in a nice meadow. The grass was a bright healthy green. Small white and soft pink flowers grew around up. A small creek was near and big trees were around us. Healthy fruit trees and Sakura trees grew. The sky was a bright blue and soft plump clouds swam across the sky. Lilly and I layed under a weeping willow. I've never been here before. Lilly must have found it when I was out or something.
We enjoyed the peace, until I saw something in the corner of my eye. It was a dark figure. Lilly was napping so I grabbed my bow and arrows and went toward where I saw him. I was curious.
I kept going until I hear voices. One of the voices sounded familiar. I couldn't place it but I knew that I knew the person who owned the voice. I got closer with my bow drawn and kept going till I saw two people. One was clad in black. He had dark black hair and glistening red eyes. His skin was rather pale. He wore a long black hat and a black tunic with darkn grey colored legging like pants underneath. He wore black leather books and gloves and arm guards. He had a black and silver-ish grey Hylian shield. He held a blade with a familiar black hilt and dark colored blade. It was held up to a man's neck. I knew who he was alright. I stole fruit from him yesterday. He had chased me half-way across Castle Town and all the way up to where I ran into the man who now held the man's life in his hands.
"Please help me!" The rather plump man called to me once he saw me. The darker man's eyes flickered toward me and he pressed the blade to man's neck. Small rivers of blood dripped down his neck as he wimpered toward me.
"Come with me and the man lives." The boy simply said as he looked at me. I blinked a couple of times.
"What?" He growled in response.
"I don't want to repeat myself onna." He glared in my direction. I just put down my bow and simply shrugged.
"I don't really care what happens to him. Only his family would care. Go ask one of them." I tilted my head a bit in the 'I-don't-care-either-way' gesture. He laughed in return.
"As you wish." He smiled in a sick way and swung his blade in a powerful movement instantly killing the man. His body fell limp and his head rolled a bit.
"W-why did you d-do that...?" I asked filled with disbelief.
"You left me no choice. Now, come along nicely or I will carry you." He smirked. The tone in his voice made me shiver.
"I...I don't know..." I shook my head slightly.
"You will be away from the Hylian scum and somewhere you will be put to some use." I looked down as he sheathed his sword and walked toward me. He stuck his hand out with a smirk dancing acrossed his lips. I looked at the possibilities. No one wanted me here and I would be blamed for the man's death. I would be hunted. On the other hand, I don't know who this man is. He could kill me, he could do anything.
I nodded slightly. In a swift movement, he grabbed my arm and pulled me toward him. I shut my eyes tightly waiting for death or a blow, but nothing came. When I opened my eyes, I was in a large room. A mountain of a troll stood infront of me. He had ginger colored hair and green skin. He had a beard and wore fancy looking attire.
"This is her?" His voice boomed rather loudly. I blinked a couple times and look at the guy who had a firm grip on my arm at the bend.
"Indeed." He answered quite respectfully to this larger man. Speaking of Mr. Troll, He looked at me with a twisted smile.
"Welcome child, my name is Ganondorf. The boy next to you is Dark Link. What's your name?" His voice was still loud and he was doing a poor job at being polite.
"My name is Kurai..." I answered quietly.
"Hate. Doesn't seem to fit you much." At Ganondorf's remark, Dark Link laughed.
"She had me kill a man and still came with me." Dark Link looked down at me with a smirk. At this, Ganondorf laughed.
"Perfect! Dark Link, take her to her room and give her food. She barely has any meat on her body.
"Yes, come along." He said leading me away.
The walk was quiet and overwelming. I was left to change into a set of clothes much like Dark Link's. It was only missing the hat and guards. I sat quietly and ate my food silently. I didn't eat much in which seemed to annoy Dark Link but he didn't say a word. After I was done, he bid me good night and left.
"Good night." I whispered and went to bed. The moment I hit the warm silky black sheets and expremely soft mattress, I felt relieved. I rested against the soft black pillows for a few seconds and curled up into sleep.
Author's Note: Oh wow! Two chapters in one day. I'm awesome! Anyway, enjoy and please review and such! ^^
