A/N: Alright here comes the start of the serious chapters and the one where I am forced to upgrade the rating to T. Not for weird gross things, their 12 guys. But for language, mild violence and some suggestive themes, barely. Whether or not I go onto M is up to you all Y'all. Whatever. Anyway this story had been sitting in my mind for a solid week before I started writing it. And like most every other story I come up with I came up with it during school. Seriously, an entire page of my history notebook was dedicated to ideas for this story. So those of you who think I make it up as I go along can rest assure that that is not the case. No, I have it all planned out, kinda. Just a general outline. I never plan out chapters cause I feel that it takes away the ability of the author. When one is writing they should never put a limit on their imagination or ability. It just doesn't turn out well. So what I do is give myself the general plot and idea and then go. When I feel as though there is a good stopping point I stop. Sometimes when I write too much I cut it off and make the new chapter but I don't erase. I only erase if when I go back and read it and it doesn't make sense. Which does happen from time to time. Enough of me rambling, exciting chapter next!

Crossroads

"Kody what's your middle name?" Kayla asked him as they walked towards the hospital to go see Mary and her father.

He looked at her with a curious look. She had been acting weird today but she tried to cover it up so hard. She tried so hard that Kody decided to give her a break and not try and press her to see what was the matter. Instead he pretended that she was good enough to hide her true feelings. "My middle name? You know it don't you? It's just Link. Mom used to say it was a family name."

"I see." She said in a quiet voice. She didn't look back at him after that.

He decided to just make like nothing was wrong. "Yeah my mom said everyone in our bloodline had the middle name Link. Then again they all died before I was born so I don't know for sure." He said more to himself.

"So is your sister's middle name Link?" She asked.

He thought about it for quite a while before shaking his head. "No, but I don't remember what her middle name is for some reason."

They began walking in complete silence for a minute or two before Kody had enough. He had spent all day pretending like he didn't know something was wrong with her but no more. His heart was aching for her and he had to know what upset the closest person to him. "Kayla, what's wrong?"

"What?" She asked looking over at him, her eyes wide. She couldn't have possibly thought that her disguise was good enough to full him.

"Something has been eating at you all day. I didn't want to say anything but it's clearly gotten out of hand." Kody explained as he stared at her. He couldn't hide his concern any longer. "What's been bothering you Kayla?" He asked sincerely.

She looked away from him but didn't say a word. Kody was about to push her when she sighed. "I knew I wasn't very good at hiding my emotions." She said with a sad smile. He let her continue. "You remember how I had those strange dreams about the Triforce before we started searching things about it?"

"Of course."

"I had another dream last night. But this one was clearer, in a way." Kayla explained. "It made me realize that in my dreams the Triforce is connected to me in some way and…" She looked right in his blue eyes. "And you."

"Me? But you're the one having the dreams." It was true, he never had those weird dreams like her. If he did he would have told her in a heartbeat.

"I know but I can see you in them. You're always with me in them. Fighting stuff and… getting hurt sometimes." She said softly. He could tell it was hurting her but she was strong enough to control her feelings. "I know I shouldn't be worried but I couldn't stand you getting hurt. Especially for me." She admitted.

Kody stopped when she stopped walking and looked at her eyes. "Kayla…" He scratched the back of his head and adjusted his green hat. "I'm not sure what I can say to put your mind at ease." He said honestly.

"That's not all, I found something." She said and looked down.

"What else?"

"Well I read something in the book and it had the names of the three. The three that wielded the Triforce. And what was believed to have happened to them." He looked at her intently, wanting her to continue. "I believe that something very strange is going on. It's too much of a coincidence for anything else." She seemed to be trying to reassure herself.

"What coincidence? What are you talking about?" Kody wanted to find out what was going on. He didn't care how ridiculous it might sound.

"In the book there was a page that-" She was interrupted by a sudden screech of the tires. They both looked down the street to see a black SUV coming towards them. Kody instantly recognized the vehicle as the one from last night. He jumped in front of Kayla to guard her as the car jumped the curve and stopped right in front of her.

"What the heck?" The two kids stepped back as three of the doors opened and tall men in suits came out, walking towards the two.

"Kayla, you are to come with us." One of them said. Two of them reached out for her and Kody reacted. He reached out and pushed the two men back. They were surprised by this but one of them reached out and grabbed his arm. Kody yelped as the man grabbed him by the arm and slammed him into the front of the SUV. His head hit the car and he fell on the ground, grasping his head.

"Quick grab her." The one commanded and the two followed in grabbing Kayla. They grabbed her arms but she started to thrash and fight back. They started bringing her to the back of the car when one spoke to the third man.

"What of the boy?"

The third one looked down at Kody as he struggled to get back to his feet. "He wanted the boy taken care of. I'll do it." The man said before reaching into his jacket and pulling out a small caliber pistol. He cocked the receiver and aimed the weapon at the boy's head.

Kody's eyes opened and he looked past the man towards the other two taking Kayla away. They were trying to kidnap her. They were trying to kidnap Kayla! 'I won't let them take her!'

He swept his feet across the ground and managed to knock the man standing over him onto his back. Despite his small size Kody managed to pull enormous strength out of nowhere in order to beat opponents bigger than he was. A single bullet was fired up in the air as the man missed Kody's head, a product of falling backwards. Taking advantage of the moment Kody jumped out and grabbed the man's hand with the gun in it, banging it on the cement several times until the man dropped his weapon. Kody grabbed it and swung it across his body, hitting the taller man across the face and knocking him out.

Then looking up and seeing that Kayla was almost in the car, Kody threw the deadly weapon at the back of one of their heads. The man faltered and released Kayla allowing her to jump out of the other's grip to safety. As the other one turned around Kody flew at him with his foot out and planted it right into his gut. The man fell onto the ground and Kody was already on him, grabbing the side of his head and smashing it into the cement. He knocked the second guy out and looked over at the last one. Kody was quite surprised to see that Kayla had already knocked him out by delivering a well placed kick to the man's head while he was still on the ground. He slowly looked up at his best friend.

"Not bad." He said smiling. Then he looked over the three men and his eyes widened. He dropped his hands and stood up, stepping farther away from the unconscious men. "Whoa." He backed away even more. "How did- what did- why did- when did?" Nothing made sense to him. And Kayla seemed way too darn calm!

"Come on we have to go." She said grabbing his arm and pulling him along. She stopped and let go. "Wait a minute." She ran back over to one of the men and grabbed his wallet and cellphone. "There let's go." She turned back to Kody and grabbed him as they ran down the empty street.

"But what just happened!?" Kody yelled as he decided to follow her lead and run. He really had no idea what just happened. One minute these guys were coming for them and then he just lost it as they tried to take Kayla.

"I don't know exactly. But it seemed like they wanted to take me for some reason." Kayla said as they ran.

"That was the obvious part but why? And when did I become such a good fighter?! I've never won a fight before in my life!" Kody would say that he was an exceptional fighter all the time. But still, the truth remained that he had never won a fight despite how many he's been in.

Laughing awkwardly she waved him off. "Well it's a good thing you decided to get good now."

As they turned down an alleyway Kody stopped. He was sure that they weren't followed and had lost anyone picking up a trail. "Kayla." He said quietly. "You know something, what's going on?"

Kayla looked at him for a long time. She finally turned her head and bit her lip nervously. "I'm not completely sure of what is going on. But I know it definitely has something to do with the Triforce. It has to be."

"What?" Kody threw his arms out to the side as if trying to express his frustration and confusion. "What does that have to do with this? This isn't about some ancient legend Kayla. This happened just now."

She realized she wasn't making sense and stopped from shouting whatever she was going to say next. He noticed this. "You're right. I'm sorry. It's just the only thing that makes sense to me."

Now this caught his attention. Kody relaxed a bit and let his arms fall back to his sides. "What makes sense?" He asked, keeping his voice soft.

Now she really stared chewing on her lip as she searched the ground for the right things to say. Her left hand reached over and grabbed her right arm. "All of this." She dared and looked back up at him as she explained. "The dreams. The Triforce. The reason we feel so connected. Why we felt like hunting down this information in the first place. But, the names. That's what made me know it wasn't a coincidence."

Kody actually surprised himself in following everything she was spilling out. The only thing that didn't register was what she said about the names. "Names? What names?" He asked.

"The names, they're our names. The ones of the Princess and the Hero." She finally told him.

"What our names? Kayla and Kody?" He didn't quite understand but she helped him out.

"No, no. Not our first names." She said shaking her head. "Our middle names."

He squinted at her as if trying to realize what she was telling him. It wasn't that hard to understand but he wanted to make sure he had all the facts right. "So the name of the Hero was Link?" She nodded fast. "And the name of the Princess was Zelda." This time her nod was slow. "W-w-what?" She was completely right. This was not a coincidence.

"Yeah, that can't be just chance." Kayla agreed and took a step towards him, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Not with everything that's been happening. And plus it explains…" She drifted off and looked away from him.

He looked directly at her face and finished the sentence. "Why I'm so protective of you." A small nod was his answer. "And why I always come to your rescue." Again she gave a silent nod. Kody thought about this for only a second before bursting out. "That's stupid!"

Kayla was taken back by his outburst. "What?" She questioned, blinking dumbly.

"What is there to say that I do what I do just because I possess the name of the Hero and you the Princess? I mean what if we even have their powers in us? It doesn't matter, nothing like that is a reason why I do what I do for you. I do it because you are special to me. It doesn't matter if there are invisible strings attached or not." He finished his rant and gave her a wide smile. "So don't feel like you're a burden to me."

She returned his smile. "Kody." She dove forward and pulled him into a tight hug. "Thank you. Only you could help me in this moment." She whispered into his shoulder.

He looked down at her head stunned. They usually didn't just have straight up emotional hugs like this so he was out of his comfort zone. He was about to wrap his arms around her as well but stopped and placed them by his side again. Then he just placed his hands on her back, making sure to keep his hold very loose. "Um, you're welcome." He spoke softly.

She released him promptly and smiled. "Well since that's out of the way let's figure out what those guys wanted." She said holding out the cellphone from one of the men that tried to take her.

"So you think that this has something to do with all that Triforce stuff?" Kody asked.

"It has to be. Why else would this all be happening at once?" Kayla said as she looked through the Cellphone. She reached into her sweater pocket and pulled out the wallet. "Here look at this." She said handing it to him.

Kody shrugged and took it. He flipped open the wallet and started going through it. Driver's license wasn't in there, neither was a credit card. But he did find nearly two thousand dollars in cash. He quickly slipped that into his pocket while Kayla wasn't looking. He took out the only other thing in the wallet and frowned. It was a card to a business company across town. Since it was the only thing in there besides money he found it important.

About the time he finished and looked back up at Kayla she had gotten irritated. "Everything on her is password protected and impossible to get out!" She complained and shoved the cellphone back into her pocket. She fumed and looked over at her best friend. "Find anything?"

"Just this." He handed over the small business card and she took it. She narrowed her eyes as she read what was on the paper. "I know this. This company went bankrupt last year. They had to sell the building." She motioned for him to follow and they exited the alleyway and stepped onto the sidewalk. "See it's that one." She said pointing at the large glass covered building nearly three miles on the other side of town. "I heard that some billionaire bought them out and took the tallest building in the city."

"Really? It would be the tallest building wouldn't it?" He was being more sarcastic than anything. He looked from the building to the card in Kayla's hand and his eyes widened. "Hang on!" He snatched the card from her hand and flipped it over. There was a phone number, written in pen, on the back of it. "I wonder who this is for." He showed it to Kayla and she nodded.

"Probably the person who sent them after us." She agreed.

"Should we call it?" He asked unsure.

"What? No! We should take it to the police." She said with an affirmative nod.

"Right, let's do that." He looked over his shoulder, not being comfortable out in the middle of the street right now. "Let's go now before they wake up and decide to hunt us down."

She agreed and the two took off in the direction of the police station.

"Mary." Mary's father gasped as he sat up. The poor young girl ran over to her father. He had spent all day with police talking to them about the attack and everything. In the end he told them nothing. He needed to keep his mouth shut. Most of the police were owned by Christopher Raoh.

"I'm here dad." She said as she jumped onto the bed and gave him a big hug. His wounds weren't as bad as they were when he got them but they still hurt a bit.

"Your brother, where is he?" He asked as he let go of the nine year old.

"Kody? He's on his way over here. He wanted to make sure everything was okay. Why?" She asked.

"I need you to make sure he's coming straight to the hospital okay?" He needed to make sure the boy and the girl were coming straight to him.

"How can I find that out? He doesn't have a cellphone." She said rolling her eyes.

But this was urgent. "What about the girl he's always with. Do you have her number?"

"Kayla? Of course I do." Mary said.

"Call her, please." Her father said. The only way he could make sure they were safe is if they were with him instead of somewhere else out there in the city. Especially with what was going to pass in the coming weekend. He had to talk with the girl. With all the information he got on her he knew her father was high up in politics and could warn the right kind of people in time. Maybe just maybe he could stop what he was almost apart of.

"Hey Kayla it's Mary!" He turned to his daughter who took his cellphone and called the girl. Kayla Zelda Fitzgerald. For some reason his former employer really wanted her. "I was just seeing if you guys were coming to the hospital soon. It's almost late." The sun was dipping down the giant mountains in the west. "Oh really? Okay. Yes we understand I'm just glad you're both alright." What? Had something happened? Was he not quick enough? "Alright see you soon. Bye." And Mary hung up.

"What happened?" He asked quickly.

"Oh, they were both attacked by some men on the way over. They're at the police station with the information to tell the cops."

"What!?" He yelled causing his daughter to jump back. "They can't go there! Call them back tell them it's not safe and that they need to get out of there as soon as possible."

"But why daddy?" She asked in a timid voice.

"Just do it now! Please!" He practically begged. Mary hesitated before dialing on the phone and calling the other girl back.

He just prayed it wasn't too late.

Kayla placed the phone back in her pocket and walked back into the room she was in with Kody before. They had gone to the police station and were able to get the attention of two detectives who allowed them to tell their story. Kayla walked in and sat back down next to Kody.

"The guys were trying to grab her but we managed to fight them off. That's self defense right?" Kody kept going on with their story while she jumped back into it.

"Of course, what else? Do you know who these men were? What they wanted?" One of the officers asked. The other officer was standing behind him and was currently on his phone.

"Well, not really no. But we have a theory!" Kody motioned for her to say this part.

"Right, um… you see, we think it has something to do with the Triforce." Kayla explained, hoping they would believe her.

"The Triforce?"

"Yeah the legend of the power of the Goddesses. It's too much to explain but basically somebody thinks it really exists and thinks we have something to do with it." She explained quickly.

"Are you sure? That seems far fetched." The officer on his phone said.

"Yes but-" Kayla was cut off by the ringtone of her phone once more. "I apologize." She grabbed her phone and saw that it was Mary once again. "Hello?" She answered the phone.

"Kayla?" Mary spoke softly.

"Yes?"

"Uh, I'm not sure what this means but my dad says to come straight here and get out of the police station as quickly as possible. He says it's very dangerous and to not trust any police officers."

Kayla blinked and looked at Kody who was deep in conversation with the detectives. "What?"

There was silence on the other end of the line for a moment before Mary spoke again. "My dad says the person after you controls the police force. He says you aren't safe there."

Kayla's eyes widened like plates as she heard that. Kayla never said there was someone after them in their last conversation. So how would he know…

She gasped. "Alright, we're on our way Mary." Kayla hung up her phone and placed it back in her pocket. Trying to keep calm and not alert anyone she turned to Kody. Still keeping a quiet voice and a calm demeanor. "Kody I need to speak with you for a moment." Her eyes flashed from him to the two detectives. "Alone." She stood up and took his hand.

"What's the matter?" One of the detectives asked.

"That was his sister calling she had something that he needs to hear right now. It can't wait." She said coolly and went outside the room with Kody.

"What happened with Mary? Is she alright?" Kody asked as soon as the door closed behind them.

"Shh!" Kayla said holding a hand over his mouth. She looked to her left and to her right. Nobody seemed alerted by their presence. Good, it seems like they still had a chance to slip out. "Just don't overreact and follow me." She said in a hushed voice and started leading them towards the exit. "Mary's dad said something that alerted me. He also said that the cops aren't the good guys either."

"Mary's dad? How does he know?" Kody asked as they passed down the final hall and turned the corner for the exit.

"I don't know but I trust what he says." She said as they came towards the exit.

"Wait one moment." The officer at the front desk stopped them. "You wouldn't happen to be Kayla Fitzgerald and Kody Legend?" He asked. Kayla saw his hand slide up his side towards the cuffs on his belt.

"Maybe." Kayla nearly face palmed. Leave it to Kody to come up with the worst answer.

"Then you two need to come with me. We have to take you in the back to speak with the current investigator on the case you two are involved in." He said walking behind them and pushing them back inside the police station. Kayla turned her head to look back at the exit that was slowly getting farther away. She turned her head to give Kody a warning look.

He blinked a few times before smirking and giving her a nod. She didn't like where this was going. He stopped suddenly making them all stop as well. "I need to tie my shoe." He said simply and knelt down to tie his shoe. As he did so he looked up at Kayla and gave her wink then gestured with his head what he wanted her to do.

She looked from him to the officer standing over him and got his message. While Kody was knelt down she took a step back was side by side with the officer. She made sure that he wasn't paying close attention to her before she slammed herself into his side, making him fall to his right and over Kody.

The plan worked perfectly as the officer landed on his back. Kayla's momentum made her fall that way as well. After all she had to put in a lot of effort to knock someone that tall over. She was about to fall on top of him when Kody jumped to his feet and grabbed her left arm. He latched on and began sprinting for the exit. She wasn't very balanced but because of his grip she was able to make it despite all the people yelling at them and chasing after them.

They made it outside and ran as fast as they could down the street. Kayla could hear the loud footsteps of people chasing after them but ignored it as they ran. "In here!" Kody yelled as they reached a supermarket. The two ducked inside and didn't waste any time in running for the back exit. "Come on we'll lose them this way!" Taking a sharp turn when they were almost towards the back exit Kody had them jump over the counter at the deli area and then crouch so as to stay out of sight.

They both held their breath as the ones chasing them ran by. The footsteps got close and loud before shrinking in the distance. They heard them go out the back door, yelling to the others to go around and cut them off. Kayla breathed heavily as this transpired but didn't dare move or speak.

After a minute Kody looked over the counter and checked to see if the way was clear. He looked back at her and gave her a nod. The two jumped back over the counter and ran towards the front entrance, intending on keeping their head start.

They got out to the street again and took off back towards the hospital. Once they were sure that the cops lost their trail the two slowed down and caught their breath.

"You know, if we're wrong we are going to be in huge trouble later on." Kody said once his breathing was back to normal.

"True but if we're right then it was a good thing we got out when we did." Kayla pointed out.

"You're right." He chuckled. As they walked they noticed that neither had let go of the other's hand. They looked from their locked grip to each other and released their hands. Both were blushing.

"Sorry." They both mumbled.

They started walking again in silence. Both had a lot on their mind. For Kayla it was the entire situation. How was it that just now when they are figuring everything out that this person, whoever they are, decided to go after them. The person must know who they are, or had an idea, otherwise why would they be going after them? And why was this all happening now? Why didn't any of this happen earlier in their lives? Something was missing and it was why it was happening right now.

"So how did Mary's dad know about all this?" Kody asked. "You didn't explain that to me before."

"Well when I called her the first time I didn't tell her anyone was after us. I had just said that we got attacked and were telling the police. She said that he knew who was after us and that the person had the cops on their side. That was enough to convince me." She said.

"But how does he know?" He asked again.

Kayla pursed her lips together thinking about that. How does he know? There could only be one answer and Mary's father had some explaining to do.

"He must know because he was apart of it."

"What do you mean they got away!?" Christopher Raoh was not happy. Everything was planned out perfectly. But now two little kids were messing up everything!

"Sorry sir the team set to grab them was taken out. I got word of it then alerted the police station. We had are men ready to grab them there but the two ducked out and managed to escape the police." His trusted agent said and he readjusted his sunglasses. "These kids are quite resourceful." He added.

"Obviously. Damn it!" Christopher grabbed a chair in the room and threw it at the wall. The metal chair snapped in half from the sheer force from the impact. The double thick walls came in handy for Christopher's rage. "This only confirms it." He said as he readjusted his suit and tie before walking back to his desk and placing a hand on the ancient text sitting on it. "Those two are those cursed heroes. There's no way they could have gotten this far if they weren't." He exhaled and rubbed his temples. "I should have planned for this. I knew what they are but I didn't prepare for it."

"Sir if I may." The agent spoke up as he walked closer. "They have to be getting help. No way they could have known about the cops being on our side. Someone is giving them sensitive information about us."

"How could that be possible? No one knows anything about us."

"Well." This time the agent took off his dark sunglasses and wiped them with his shirt. "The two cops that were supposed to grab them said they left after receiving a call from the boy's sister."

"The boy doesn't have a sister." Christopher had memorized the reports on both kids. He knew everything there was to know about them. "He has no family left besides that uncle that's in and out of prison."

"He has a half-sister." The agent looked back up at his boss. "His mother had another relationship before she died and gave birth to a girl. The girl kept her mother's last name. Legend. That's how we were able to track her down. But the girl lives with her father." He finished with his glasses and put them back on. "Her father is someone who actually knows things he shouldn't know."

"How's that?"

"Her father used to work for you." The man said simply.

Christopher slowly turned back around. "What?"

"He went by T. Real name Lucas Walker. He was the one that backed out when you gave word to kill the boy. We dealt with him accordingly but he lived. In the hospital right now."

"Really? The boy's half-sister's father you say? No wonder he felt the need to stand down." Christopher went back to the book. "Is he… someone important?"

"Sources say no but he could be. Wasn't very trained in the time he worked with us but what he knows could be a problem." The man said. "Shall we finish him?"

Christopher thought about this for a moment. He turned back around and looked down at the text in the book. He read over a few passages before a sickening smile came over his lips. "No, what he knows is irrelevant. It will be nice for my enemy to know who he's up against."

"You speak of the boy."

Christopher sighed as he read over the line in the book about the Hero's destiny. "I didn't choose it but yes. The boy will be my sworn enemy. It is his destiny as is mine to rule. He will try and fail to stop me. He will come to face me. Only then will he realize how futile it all will be." He spread his hand out across the pages of the book and smiled again. He turned to his trusted associate. "Let them go to the hospital. Let this Lucas guy tell him everything. But I want men there ready to grab the girl on my command."

"As you wish sir." The man said before spinning on his heel and walking out of the room.

Christopher turned back to the book and grabbed it. Reciting the words in it as he headed towards the window. He stopped reading and looked out at the sun disappearing in the distance as night came over the city. He snapped the book shut, grinning to himself.

"My time has finally come."

Fin.
