~Kellie POV~
I woke up to the smell of bacon cooking. Trust me, waking up to the smell of bacon is Heaven. I sat up slightly on my elbows to see smoke outside. Link, in almost the same instant, came back inside with a plate of bacon and eggs.
"Good morning, Kellie." he said with a bright smile.
"Good morning to you too, Link." I said, running my fingers through my hair.
"Breakfast is ready, if you want it."
"Yeah, totally. But… uh…."
"Oh, right! I almost forgot about that." He went into the back and threw a tunic on the bed.
"You can keep it. It doesn't fit me anymore." I changed under the sheets and used the belt from my uniform (which was on the floor beside the bed) around my waist to hold the tunic to my body. Then I climbed out of the bed and sat at the table with Link.
"I assume you want a little explanation, huh?" he asked.
"Yes." I answered.
"So, what do you want to know first?"
"Where am I?"
"Kokiri forest."
"No like, what house am I in?"
"My house. Well, technically it's a tree, but I made it my house."
"How?"
"Hollowed out the inside a little bit, put some furniture in here and pray to God we don't have a forest fire." I laughed a little, then asked
"What's this thing on my hand?" I asked, holding up my right hand.
"A Triforce." he said with food in his mouth.
"What?"
"A Triforce. I got one to." He lifted his left hand to show me his Triforce, but his is different than mine. His is just gold, and there is no design in the middle of his Triforce.
"How did you get it?"
"I went into a temple, drew the Master Sword out from a stone, and a mage came and put it on my hand."
"What's the master sword?"
"This." he said, pulling out his sword. I freaked out a little at first, but after a while of him showing off, I grew more comfortable around it. And, I secretly knew the sword from the book, but I would never tell that part to him.
"Who else has a Triforce?"
"You, me, Zelda and Gannondorf."
"Who are they?"
"Well, Zelda is the princess of Hyrule. She's a sweet girl to, but very determined in her position of this place. And Gannon is a villain of Hyrule. He tries to take these Triforces and uses them for himself."
"Why? What do they do?"
"Well, mine is the Triforce of courage. So it makes me more courageous. Zelda has the Triforce of wisdom, so it makes her smarter. Gannon has the Triforce of power, so it makes him more powerful. But he also craves to have even more power, which is why he tries to take these things from people."
"How do you just take them?"
"I don't really know, honestly."
"Well," I said, putting my hands on the table and standing up, "Thanks for all your help, blondie. But, I gotta go save my sister."
"Well hang on just a minute. You have no idea where she is. I'll tell ya what, instead of having you risk your life trying to find someone who may not even be here, why don't I just get Zelda to have her guards search for her all over Hyrule. Fair enough?" I stopped and thought about the deal he had just made.
"Well, it would be pretty stupid to have a little 14 year old going around mindless about this place." I mumbled.
"14, eh?"
"Yeah, what of it?"
"Eh, I don't know. I thought for sure you were 16."
"Why would you think that?"
"Just of the way you act. Don't go thinking I'm a pervert about it!"
"Oh, forget it! How old are you then, Mr. Hero?"
"My name is Link, smartass! And… well, it's kinda complicated, but I consider myself as 18."
"Are you really 40?"
"No. I'm 18."
"Well-… Ah, hell with it! Never mind."
"Finish your breakfast and we'll go to Zelda's castle."
"Why should I trust you?"
"Come on now, I saved your life, healed you, let you sleep in my bed, and you're currently under my roof and not bleeding to death in the middle of the Lost Woods!" I looked down
"This just can't be real." I muttered.
"Get used to it, sweetheart. This is just the way life is." I looked up sharply at him, and supplied a quick kick in the groin.
"You son of a bitch, you don't know anything about me! You have no idea what my sister and I have been through. She could be out there dying somewhere, and you're telling me to just deal with it? Fuck you!"
"I politely decline." He said as he collapsed to the floor.
"Well, get ready to leave. I'm heading out if you're not ready in 10 minutes." I said, walking outside.
"Wait a minute kid! You have no idea what you're doing?"
"Watch me." I walked outside to see many more of those tree houses. And a lot of short people. I recognized Saria, but she was the only one I had recognized, so I walked up to her.
"Saria?" I asked.
"Oh, hi Kellie." she exclaimed. Before I could ask her anything, another Kokiri came up to her.
"Hey Saria." he said.
"Hi, Mido." she replied.
"Who's your friend?" he asked, looking at me.
"What are you starring at?" I asked Mido.
"Some cute brunette. What about you?" My face turned a pinkish, and I heard Link run up to me.
"Hey Saria. Mido, what the hell are you doing here?"
"What the hell are you doing here?" Mido asked.
"I live here, dumbass."
"Well so do I."
"Whatever. Shall we go, Kellie?"
"Where the hell are you going?"
"Somewhere where you are not allowed in."
"The castle? Really?"
"We need to go." Link said, grabbing my arm and taking me back to his house. He had a horse behind his tree house, and that was our ride to the castle.
To my great horror.
"Oh, hell no! I'm not getting on that devil animal!"
"Either we go on the horse and take a ride for an hour or so, or we can walk and take about a day or so."
"Let's walk there."
"Oh, hell no! I'll knock you out if I have to, but I'm not walking."
"Well you go tell your princess about me, I'm not going anywhere."
"You know what, you're getting on this damn horse! Epona is a nice horse, she won't eat you or anything." He grabbed my waist and picked me up to put me on the horse. I kicked and screamed at him. Then, the wound on my side seared, and I let out an agonizing sigh, and fell on his shoulder.
"Holy crap, are you okay?" he asked.
"Just put me on that God damn animal."
"It's your side, isn't it?"
"Who cares if it's my side or not!"
"I do." I blushed, but I still pretended to be irritated by this whole situation.
"Let's just get this damn thing over with." Link got on the horse with me and I wrapped my arms around his muscular waist.
"We'll be there soon, don't worry about it." he whispered.
"I won't." I said, leaning my cheek on his back and closing my eyes. He made sure the horse went slow, so I wouldn't be very afraid.
Although, when I'm around Link, it's hard for me to feel really afraid.
"Kellie?" Link asked, "Kellie, wake up. We're here." I mumbled lightly, pulling his shirt toward my face.
"Hey no, don't grab the shirt." he joked.
Suddenly, the ground was near my face, as I realized I had fallen off the donkey-type animal.
"Oof!" I yelled as I hit the ground.
"Link, you're a jackass!" I yelled.
"That wasn't me." he said as he got off the horse. He ran by my side and helped me up.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"We'll walk from here."
"Thank God!" I exclaimed. We walked up to the entrance, and the guards let us in. Zelda met us in a very classy throne room.
"Link? I wasn't expecting you. How are you?"
"I'm fine, thank you for asking. This is my friend, Kellie."
"How do you do, Kellie." I was silent.
"There is an issue we need to address here." Link said.
"Oh?" Zelda questioned.
"Kellie here isn't from here, but…"
"But what?"
"She has a Triforce." Her face grew grim.
"Which one?" she asked.
"I don't know, that's why we came here."
"Well, you me and Gannon have the originals," she claimed as she walked up to me, removing the bandages from my right hand, "and there are two missing ones." She studied the mark on my hand for a few minutes, then said, "She has healing and the ocean Triforce. She can heal people very easily, but only once she has control of her power. She also controls the moon, which in turn controls the oceans. She could destroy the moon with the blink of an eye, if she really wanted to. It could be the end of the Earth as we know it." I quietly panicked, but tried to keep my cool.
"But. Might I ask," she continued, "How come your hand is covered in blood?"
"It didn't happen to you?" I questioned curiously.
"No, it… Wait a minute." She pulled back my hair gently, and gasped. Link's mouth gaped open a little.
"It's impossible!" Zelda whispered, "This can't be given to a human, they're too weak!"
"Excuse me, bitch?" I yelled. She ignored me.
"Link, not only will it take her forever to train her power, but she would die before she learned to use it correctly."
"And what makes you all might and powerful, princess?" I snapped. She pulled her own hair back, and her ears were stretched out an inch or two and was pointed at the tips.
"I'm a Hyrulian, sweetheart. And that's what makes me superior to you." "You think ears make us different? If we were to ever meet on the battlefield, you would die." Link held me back before I got a chance to beat the hell out of that bitch.
"It's not the ears. It's the body." I smirked.
"I'm sure Gannon would appreciate my Triforce. I don't think he will care if I'm human or not. At least he'll help me find what I want to find."
"Kellie?" Link asked. I looked up, and his face was full of concern.
"What is she talking about, Link?" Zelda asked.
"That's another reason why we came. She has a little sister that came here too, and we don't know where she is."
"What is the sister's name?"
"Samantha." I said.
"Kellie, does Samantha have a Triforce? Does she have that same marking on her hand?"
"Yes, only hers has a skull in the middle where mine has the moon."
"And you just let her roam around like that?" Zelda yelled.
"Easy, Zelda-"
"Her sister has the Triforce of death, dumb-shit! She can't be alone out there, God knows what could happen. Kellie, where did you two come from?"
"Not that it really matters to you, but I come from a small town in Sacramento."
"Where is that?"
"California?" "Who now?"
"America?"
"Never heard of it."
"It's only the most well known country in all the world."
"Not here. What year was it last you heard from?"
"2011."
"You're a long way from home, Kellie." Link whispered.
"What?"
"There is no America, or California, or Sacramento. Kellie, human's are almost extinct here. They have there own towns, but Hyrulians and Elves dominate over them."
"Dear God, Link!" Zelda yelled, "Samantha could be with the elves!"
"Shit!" he yelled.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"The elves kill any human they see. That's what they're trained to do. We can't let them kill her when she has the Triforce of death." As she spoke, I imagined Sam's mangled body.
"No! I can't let that happen!" I yelled, "I have to find her, I have to save her!"
"No, Kellie, no!" Link yelled, "I won't let you die because of those scums! I won't let that happen!"
"It has nothing to do with you-"
"It does now, kid," Zelda said, "She has the Triforce." I turned around and punched her dead in the face.
"Sam is the only reason I feel like I exist! She's the only one who's ever shown me any kindness, the only one who sees me as a good person. And I… I won't let her die." I broke down and cried. Link collected me in his arms and held me as I cried in his chest.
"Go cry me a river," Zelda scolded.
"Don't be such a bitch for once, Zelda." Link snapped.
"You wanna see a bitch, Link? I'll show you what a bitch is like once I declare war on those God forbidden elves! Every man, woman and child that is not human or Hyrulian will be slaughtered, and I will drag Samantha by her hair if I have to get that Triforce here!"
"You're not going to touch her you stupid bitch!" I yelled, kicking my legs up in the air as Link held me back.
"Watch me."
(A/N) GIVE ME REVIEWS ALREADY! Anyway, this chapter was really fun to write, especially since I finally was able to put Zelda into it, even though I don't like her that much. Sam and I had a really fun time writing this-very suspenseful in the end! Hope you enjoyed, PLEASE REVIEW!
