Here's chapter two of Taking Over and i'm happy that i got two reviews. So thanks to you guys i will post this one, but i still will only post if people review.
On a different note, there are ALOT of characters in this chapter but don't worry, half of them wont be big in the story so no need to study up on them. This chapter is really big, kinda just leading up to some important crap i'd say. Last thing to say: i don't own Legend of Zelda.
Chapter 2: Party Time
A lot of truth is said in jest~ Eminem
"So what do you think?" Malon said on the other line. I said yeah and nodded my head even though she couldn't see me doing it.
"Wow thanks for listening." Malon said in a dry tone.
"Yup." I said, still not paying attention.
"You're the best." The bitter voice responded back.
"Mhmm…"
"So moving to Vegas with my 40-year old unemployed boyfriend is a good idea, especially now that I'm pregnant with his kid." Malon said, exasperated.
"Yeah.. Good idea." Was all that Malon got. What is with this girl today?
"ZELDA!" A scream echoed in my ear, possibly waking all of the neighbors up.
"Huh…. What Mal's?" I said, finally refocusing on what she was saying.
"I just think it's a good idea what with me being pregnant and al-"
"WHAT, YOUR WHAT?" I bolted up right.
"Hm now you listen huh? What is with you lately! You're so unfocused!" I could hear the concern in her voice.
"Its nothing Mal, I'm just tired that's all." I mumbled, not in the mood to tell her the truth. What a great friend I am.
"Bullcrap you're okay! Now spill I want this persons name and address so I can beat the Sacred Realm outta them!" I smiled at that. Same ol' Malon.
"Now how do you know I'm just not exhausted from school and volleyball?" All I received was a snort and laugh.
"Yeah and I'm the Princess of Hyrule. Now tell me. Come on Zel, you can tell me anything you know that, right?"
I sighed, ready to spill when I heard footsteps in the hallway.
I froze. My parents weren't home yet.
'I didn't hear the garage door open.' I thought, my mind going into turmoil.
"Hellllo Zel? Come on your ignoring me again, aren't you?" I heard Malon saying but I was hardly listening.
Setting my cell phone down (and with Malon still on the other line incase I was being brutally murdered and she could hear my screams) I walked to my door.
'It's like a stupid horror movie. I'm waiting for someone to yell out 'don't go in there!''
I threw open my door to see….nothing, just how I wanted it.
A sigh graced my lips and I closed my eyes briefly. Now about those footsteps?
My house wasn't old in the slightest, nor was it haunted (or at least I think not) so why was I hearing things?
After I finally convinced my mom to leave work early the other day (which is like nailing jelly to a tree,) she finally agreed and drove to our house. While I was hiding in my car, my mother did the unthinkable and searched our house from top to bottom.
"Nothing." She said and crossed her arms over her chest.
"Nothing?" I echoed and blinked. Twice.
"Nothing, by goddesses Zelda you cannot just call me out of work just because you are afraid to be home alone. You are 17 years old, act like it." She scolded me and walked back to her white Porsche GT3 RS, leaving me alone. I stared at her retreating car, knowing she was making a swift escape back to the sanctuary of her office.
"Lucky woman." I said to no one in particular. "Getting to go to work to escape her family." Its not that I didn't want a job, it was that I never had the time as Mido had put it. All I ever did was work, work, work. Schoolwork that is.
Now, four hours later, I was still in disbelief I actually stayed here.
"I'M COMING OVER!" I heard Malon scream. Whoops, kinda forgot about her.
"Actually change of plans, I'm coming to the sleepover." I said, already packing my things.
"WOOO!" Was all I got in return.
Placing my Iphone on speaker and heading to my closet, I heard Malon ask "What made you change your mind?" A lot. Hearing footsteps. Getting text messages from strange numbers. But once again I couldn't say that. Where's the prize for worst friend ever?
"Well I don't see you guys anymore…" I glaringly ignored Malon grumble "that's a understatement."
"…and I think hanging with you tonight will lighten my mood."
"Sure will galpal!" Malon said happily "We can do so much tonight! Movies, nails, hair…" I started smiling.
Yup this would be a good night.
Walking over to my large vanity, I opened my old jewelry box that belonged to my great-great grandmother and started digging around my valuables. Half of the pearls and necklaces were of no need to me even if they were all valuable, I only had my eyes for one thing.
My heart nearly skipped and my eyes doubled in sized.
My necklace? Where was it?
"….So when are ya leaving for Saria's house?" I barely heard Malon's voice through the speakers, the beating of my heart was much to loud.
I shuffled my jewelry around. 'Rings, bracelets, old necklaces, earrings, where was it!'
I looked away, thinking it might be on my nightstand, when I caught sight of something at the last second. Buried under all of my jewelry was a small slip of paper.
I could see writing on it.
Bringing it close to my face, my eyes made out the short but sweet message.
"Looking for your necklace?"
"And she finally arrives!" Malon screeches in a sing-song voice, greeting me at the door. I grin and rolled my eyes when she over-dramatically bows before letting me step inside.
To describe Saria's house would be like describing Saria herself, small yet full of energy. Since both of Saria's parents were well-known veterinarians in Termina, Saria was basically alone all the time. I can totally relate. But that didn't stop her from making the little cobblestone house lively when guest stayed over.
I was surprised to see a lot more people here instead of a 'little' sleepover, any teenager could guess right away this was a party only certain people were invited at.
Malon slipped her arm through my elbow and started leading me through the wave of a crowd.
"Should we venture to the kitchen and 'clean' out the fridge?" She questioned, dropping hints around clean.
I laughed and smirked, "We shall."
While driving over to Saria's house I thought a lot of what happened in the past two days. I was getting rather annoyed more than scared that someone was playing games with me and I wanted it to end now. I came to the decision that I wasn't going to tell anyone, not even Malon.
'Boy would she kill me.. Then kill whoever was playing this stupid joke on me..'
Spotting Ilia in the kitchen chatting with Ashei, Malon quickly and quietly ran up behind her and but her hands over her eyes.
"Guess who?" Malon sang out, not even bothering to change her voice.
"Hmm… Zelda?" Ilia guessed, I put my hand to my mouth holding in my giggle.
"Nooo." Malon said, hinting for another chance.
"Midna?" Ilia teased again.
"Ugh, for the love of Nayru! You suck at this game!" Ashei interjected, "It's Malon!"
I smiled inward. Guess Ashei didn't know they did this little game every time they were in a two thousand mile radius.
"Surprise." Malon said in a dull voice, losing interest by the second.
"So that's when my friend yelled 'Dude where's my bike!'" Mikau howled out.
"HA DUDE!" Kafei bellowed out.
I just stared at them 'the Sacred Realm were they talking about?'
"Wasn't that funny Zel?" Mikau said, practically gasping for air.
I raised a brow, skeptical. "Mhmm… hilarious." I had to find someone, anyone to talk to.
Scanning the crowed I almost gave up when Agitha!
Yes!
"Well guys it was great talkin-"
"So Zel did you hear of the new kid coming to Hyrule High?" Kafei asked, ignoring my desperate need to escape.
New kid? "What? No I didn't. When is he transferring over?"
"I have no idea." Kafei shrugged and guzzled down the rest of his drink.
"And how do you know?" Mikau demanded, coming into this conversation.
"I got people, you know.." He leaned in close to my ear, "…spies." He barely managed to say before both he and Mikau burst in to a fit of laughter's.
'Din dammit' I muttered before walking away.
Walking around the house, I noticed the mahogany grandfather clock in the sitting room read 2:52 am. Raising a eyebrow, I looked away and prayed to the goddesses I would somehow wake up for the meeting tomorrow.
HA! Fat chance!
Thinking about leaving the party and returning to the empty house, I started walking to the entrance, tripping over people all the way.
"Zelda!" I heard a familiar voice and turned around. There stood Medli practically skipping over with a huge smile plastered to her face.
'Alright one more hour wont hurt I guess…'
The ringing was so ear-splitting, I wanted to go deaf right then and there. 'Damn phone.' I thought through clenched teeth.
"Whoever has their phone on, turn it off or I swear to the Goddesses themselves I will chuck it out the window!" Someone threatened. I'm guessing by the tone of voice it was Pipit.
I fumbled with the volume and dragged myself to the bathroom. Saria didn't let anyone bring alcohol to the party last night so why was I so tired?
Closing the door softly behind me until I heard a click, I answered the ever-ringing call.
"Hello?" I answered, sleep still icing my tongue.
"ZELDA!" Oh great. Shad.
"Oh hi Shad…" I mumbled. 'Why do I answer calls why!'
"Where in Din's, Nayru's and Farore's name were you today!" Was it possible smoke could fume out of someone's ears, because that's exactly how I pictured Shad right now.
"Sorry Shad I-"
"Skipped huh? How professional of you." I could hear the sarcasm seeping out.
"What no I-"
"Should be grateful I covered for you girl."
Girl? Did he just call me that?
Not really in the mood to fight, I sighed. "Thanks and I'm sorry, it wont happen again."
"It better not!" Okay now I was really starting to get pissed with his attitude.
"Did I miss anything important?" I asked, trying to steer the topic away.
"Not really. We got new uniforms for the cheerleaders, class picture dates, and… oh! We have a new student coming to Hyrule High!" Shad said, pleased with himself
Well at least he mellowed down… But really? Kafei wasn't making that up, someone really is coming to our school.
Now this was kind of big news, nothing big really happened in Hyrule High. "Cool do we know anything about him?"
"Not really just his name."
I waited. And waited. And still waited.
"Shad?"
"Yup?"
"What's his name?"
"Oh!" I heard him chuckle, "his name is Link!"
Alright there you have it, i told you it wasn't big. Now i'm off to spend some time with my mom since well it IS Mother's Day.
If you guys think i say to many vulgar language in this story, please tell me! I usually say... bad words but i don't know if it'll be appropriate to you people.
And review! And Happy Mother's Day!
