Yeah I'm mean and nice I guess u could say I'm giving you another chapter in the same day but this is the first part. The reason I split it into two parts was because one: I'm working on the second part so you wouldn't get this chapter if it was just one whole chapter and two: the chapter was way too long I mean super super long. I add a small monster scene and I added some other small things too. So you guys are lucky you get part one first which I think is more of stuff thats new but anyways on with the chapter...
Chapter 10: Problems Part 1
As Link was walking home he thought, 'I can't believe they forgave me so quickly.' Not paying attention to his surroundings, he tripped over something. As he hit the ground he heard some all too familiar laughter.
"Hahahahaha... just like old times, right buddy?" said Mido who continued to laugh.
Link moaned as he got up to find Mido, Jacob, Ryan, and Blake laughing but slowly died down. "What do you want?" Link grumbled
"Nothing; actually to tell you the truth," Mido said with an emphasis on 'truth', "we were heading home, until we saw you walking by yourself. Which isn't a surprise."
Ignoring his last comment Link asked, "Are you guys neighbors?"
"Yeah? What's it to ya?"
"Nothing, just curious."
"So, how does it feel to live alone?"
"Why? Do you actually care?" Link asked sarcastically.
"Hardly...Hey, did you know that I know karate?" Mido stated
"Ha! Are you finally living your dream of becoming a ninja?"
Mido threw a kick at Link but he just stepped to the side at a 45* angle and punched Mido in the ribs. Link took a few steps back and smiled. Mido clutched his side and leaned forward a little in pain. He looked up at Link and said, "I see you know some karate yourself..."
"Yeah, I also know how to use a sword." stated Link
Mido stood up straight. "Yeah right..." he glanced at Link's neck and noticed something, "Huh?"
"What?" Link asked
"What's around your neck?" Mido asked
Link looked down at his necklace then back at Mido, "It was my mother's necklace...they found it on me before she was gone...at least, that's what I've been told...it probably has a meaning but I don't know what..."
"Oh...uh...anyways, we'll see you at school tomorrow loser..." He shoved Link and Mido and the rest left laughing.
'Jerk' Link thought.
Link looked back at his necklace and grabbed the pendent. He did not take it off but examined it. The pendent was the shape of a triangle with four smaller triangles in the main triangle; the middle triangle was upside down while the other 3 were upside right. (only description I could think of for the Triforce lolz)
Link thought, 'This has to have a meaning...everytime I fight a monster either during or after, my left hand would show this same exact symbol. I thought I should put it aside, but now that all of this is happening, I'm not sure...'
He sighed and began to walk home. He finally arrived at his house and walked inside. He randomly thought of the wolfos and whats been going on.
'Perhaps these monsters attacks are a clue for something to come, but what? And why me? Do I play a bigger part in all of this then whats leading on. Maybe the symbol around my neck means I'm the chosen one or whatever, I highly doubt it though. Being a chosen one is something only for movies, I doubt it happens in real life... Then again, there are monsters attacking me so anything can happen I guess... Let me get this straight, I come here to Hyrule High and make friends, which is great and all but I then get attacked by that plant thing which isn't so great... I meet my old enemy, Mido, again, then almost get myself killed by a pack of wolf creatures... and it keeps getting better with this whole triangle thing. None of this makes any sense...' He looked at his left hand and thought out loud, "What are the goddesses trying to tell me?"
He was in his house by his front door, he walked to the left which is where his closet is. He got his punching bag out, set it up in his living room, and began to punch and kick the bag. After some time, he imagined the punching bag was Mido; that's when he punched harder and faster, "That's right, who's the loser now! Hi-ya!"
1 hour later
"That should do it; now for some sword training."
He put the punching bag back in the closet, then went through his living room to the sword rack. He grabbed his sword and when he did the triangular symbol showed on the back side of his hand. He backed his hand away and thought out loud, "Again? I thought this was a one time thing...Maybe I'm tired or angry at Mido..." he shrugged it off, grabbed his sword, and went outside and practiced for 2 hours.
He does Spin Attak, then the horizontal slash, vertical slash, strike, then the final blow. "Hi-ya! Hi-ya! Hiiiii-ya! Phew, I should call it a day; don't want to get too tired."
He went back inside, put his sword back on the sword stand, and plopped on the couch, "Man, what am I going to do about Mido?" he got up and walked to the kitchen, grabbed himself an apple, and took a bite, "I think I should confirm why he still picks on my tomorrow. I mean, would he really hold a grudge this long. He must have his reasons. I can't ignore him nor should I fight him...what the hell am I suppose to do then? Ok, cut back the cussing or Zelda will never like you... I mean as friends... nothing else...I think...ugh!" He throws his apple away; as the rest of the night went by with thoughts of Zelda and monster attacks and everything going through his mind.
The next morning, everything goes on as usual and Link was now at school and spots Mido at his own locker. 'Time to find out with his friends not around' Link thought
He went towards Mido and said, "Hey Mido, I need to talk to you."
Mido shuts his locker and looks at Link, "What do you want, loser?"
"I'm curious to know why you keep picking on me; this can't possibly be about some dumb childhood lie, can it?"
"You honestly think I would hold a grudge like that for so long, I'm not a child you idiot!"
"Then why do you hate me so much?"
"I have my reasons. Reasons that you don't need to know about."
"Oh really? You know you could have at least apologized for all the crap you gave me!"
"...I wanted to be your friend years ago and not long ago either..."
"Really?"
"Yeah..." Mido's friends showed up and Mido came his usual self, "But, now I would rather be friends with a dog then you."
"So, in other words you have another reason for hating me, not because of a dumb lie I made years ago?"
"Yeah, and that's all you need to know freak..." he and his friends left.
Link thought, "Well that was odd...Mido acted way different, it kinda made it a little awkward...He said he wanted to be my friend years ago which I guess is understandable, but what did he mean not too long ago? Who cares, Mido is a jerk and always will be; he will never change."
Link walked to Zelda's locker to find Zelda there, he smiled and walked up to her and said, "Hey, what's up?"
"Meh." responded Zelda
"Meh? Well meh to you too." Link said back.
Zelda smiled and looked at Link, "Hi Link."
"Hey, so are you ok?"
"Yeah, sorry for my response with the 'meh' it's been a weird day for me and it's only begun."
"You're not alone. Went to speak to Mido and he acted pretty weird."
"Really? Well with your last encounter I'm surprised the principal didn't come."
"Haha yeah, sorry bout that he just really get me upset."
"No excuse Link, I don't want to have to separate you two if you don't behave."
"Haha, yes mam."
They share a small laughter and was cut short when they noticed Zelda's friends arrived and Elice was looking very depressed.
"What's wrong Elice?" asked Zelda
Elice sighed, "Joe broke up with me..."
"Oh no, Elice I'm so sorry."
"Don't be, I mean, he was ok, but it just wasn't working out I guess... he always thought about himself and stuff; that no good jerk."
Link thought, 'I wonder if I should say something to cheer her up...why not.' "Uh, you shouldn't worry too much on the matter; you'll find the right guy for you. You're a very nice and pretty woman, and you never know, there might be a guy who secretly likes you."
"Really? Hmmm... You're single, right?" asked Elice
"Um, yeah?" Link asked confused
"Hmmmm, sit by me at lunch,k?"
"Uh, ok?"
"Ek! Ok, see ya later Link. Tehe." she skipped away
"Well, I guess she's over Joe." stated Saria
"Why do you say that?" asked Link
"I think she has a crush on you."
"What? But I didn't do anything."
"Oh yes you did; you used your hawt body to get her attention." (fyi, I know that's not how you spell hawt I know its spelled as hot =P)
"What? I'm not hawt and I wasn't trying to get her attention!"
"Oh please; you boys are so stupid."
"Hey!"
"How can Elice have a crush on Link so quickly?" asked Zelda
"Don't get jealous Zelda; she's in the same boat as you are, right?" said Malon
Both Link and Zelda blush
"What? I-I don't have a c-crush on Link." stuttered a very embarrassed Zelda?"
"Uh-huh, riiiiiiight." said Malon
"Well, do you have a crush on him, Malon?" asked Zelda
"Well, he is hawt so—"
"That's it, I'm leaving." Link said with a red face.
"Haha, bye Link. Said Malon
He left the giggling girls and thought as he was walking towards his next class, 'Tch, me? Hawt? Whatever...Zelda? Jealous? No way! Why would she be jealous? And why would I care if she was or not? I wonder...'
Later, lunchtime
As Link stood in line, 'Now that I think about it I have no problems on my hand, Mido and now Elice...great what next...' :/
As he was getting his food he heard a shout from the other side of the room, "Hey Liiiiiiiiiink!" he looked in the direction of the voice which was Elice who was waving at him to get his attention; she then pat the seat next to her and shouted, "I saved you a seat!" Everyone looked at Link and laughed while Link turned a shade of pink. He got his food and slowly walked toward the table. "Here Link, sit by me." Elice said
"Thanks..." He sat down and on his right sat Zelda
"So Link, tell me about yourself." asked a curious Elice
"Huh? Oh! Um... I uh..." she looked at him confused, still waiting for an answer. "Um, I know how to use a sword." he stated
"Really?" she smiled
"Yeah, I also know karate."
"Oh my Goddesses! You are so perfect! Hehe"
He nervously laughed, "thanks..."
The rest of the gang; Mido, Saria, Ike, and Malon, showed up and sat down.
"Ok, tell me more about yourself." Elice commanded
"Uh..." Link had to think
"I doubt there's much to tell; he has a pretty boring life." commented Mido
"Shut up Mido, what do you know?" said Link
"A lot more than you." Right then and there a spark of electricity went off as soon as they made eye contact. (if you watch anime its the electricity that goes from eye to eye when two enemies look at each other can't quite think what its call atm)
"Um, Link? You were saying?" Elice asked
"Huh?" he looked back at Elice, "Oh right... um...hmmm, enough about me, tell me something about yourself."
"Me? Oh! Well, I have a brother; his name is Marth and he'll be coming here in 3 days. He and Roy will be coming here Monday! Ek!" Elice said excitingly.
"Why haven't they been coming?" asked Link
"Well, let's just say it's a family secret."
"Aw, ok."
"Hey Link?"
"Yeah?"
"I know this is sudden but...will you go out with me?" Ellice asked as everyone at the table, including Link, started to chock on their food.
"I'm sorry, what?" asked Link surprised.
"I want to go out with you so bad, please!"
"Why would you want to date this loser?" asked Mido
"Mido!" yelled Saria
"Uh, I mean, he's not a loser he's the opposite of that...um, say yes buddy. Haha."
"Well, uh, I'll think about it..." said Link
Elice sighed, "...Ok..."
Later that day, after school, at Link's locker. Link shut his locker and turned around to leave but Zelda stood in his way. "Oh, hi Zelda."
"Yeah hi..." she said a little gloomy.
"What's wrong?" he asked
She put her hands on her hip, "What was that about?"
"What was what about?"
"You know what I mean; I'm talking about you and Elice!"
"Oh, well, I don't know how to answer that...Um, are you jealous?"
"No!" she responded quickly with a tint of pink on her face
"Then why do you care if I say yes or no?" he asked
"Well...Elice just broke up with her boyfriend and—"
"Hey! I'm not the one who asked her out; she asked me."
"Yeah, but still..."
Still what?"
"Hmph," she crossed her arms and looked away, "never mind."
"Ok, well bye."
He began to walk pass her but Zelda looked at him and said, "Where do you think you're going?"
He looked back at her, "home?' he asked confused
She rolled her eyes and placed her hands on her hip again, "Did you forget already? You promised my parents and I that you would come over for dinner tonight."
"Oh yeah, ok, let's go."
"Idiot." she said with a smile.
"Thanks." He slightly nudged her in a jokingly matter, and began to walk towards the exit. She followed closely behind
While they walked to Zelda's house, Zelda broke the silence with the subject Link was trying to avoid.
"Are you going to say yes? Zelda asked
"To what?" Link asked
"Elice asked you out; what's your answer?"
"Oh...i don't know...I barely know her..."
"Well, she's nice...you should—" she stopped mid-sentence.
"Do you want me to?" Link asked
"...Not really..." she mumbled
The rest of the walk was quiet and awkward until they finally arrived at Zelda's house. The walked inside her house, but Zelda said nothing.
Link thought, Strange; she usually shouts of her arrival when she has a guest with her, hmmm...' "I'm back!" he shouted
Zelda looked at him with a questionable look, "What are you doing?" she asked
"I was trying to be you." Link teased. She sighed and Link asked, "What's wrong?"
"Well...I—" she was interrupted by her mom.
"Link!" Zelda's mom came running towards Link and gave him a big hug. "I'm so glad to see you again!"
"Really? I couldn't tell.." Link said as she let him go.
"Sorry; you're just so adorable and sweet." she squeezed his right cheek.
'Ow!' Link thought
"Mom!" shouted Zelda
"Oops," she stopped, "sorry sweety; you're just sooooo cute!"
He faked smiled and laughed, 'Cute? Not this again...' "Uh yeah, thanks; I guess..."
Zelda's dad stepped in the room, "So, are you staying for dinner?" Zelda's dad asked
"Yeah." Link said
Alissa came in and began talking to Link. After awhile Link looked beside him and realized Zelda was no longer there. He looked back at Alissa, "Where's Zelda?"
"She went upstairs to get Zac not long ago." said Alissa
"Zac, slow down." Zelda said from upstairs.
Her little brother, Zac, ran down the stairs and noticed Link. He ran toward Link and stopped in front of him.
He looked at him with his big blue eyes, "Hi, my name's Zac." Zac introduced himself.
"Hi; I'm Link."
"Come with me." Zac said
"Well—"
"Come on!" Zac grabbed Link's hand and dragged him to his room which was upstairs. "This is my room."
"Cool." Link said as he looked around
Zac let go of Link's hand and ran toward one of his toys. He took it, ran back to Link, and hand it to him. "You can play with that."
"Oh, thank you." Link examined it with a smile as Zac ran back to his toys.
"Come here." Zac motioned for Link to come in his direction.
"Ok." he walked toward Zac
Once Link was standing by Zac, Zac said, "Look!" he showed Link a little rectangular box.
"Wowwwwwww, what is it?" asked Link
"It's something I found in Zelda's room today. She noticed it was gone when she got home today and asked for it back. But it's so pretty I didn't want to give it back. I told her I would protect it but she kept telling me it was too dangerous."
"So it's Zelda? What is it?"
Zac opened the box and Link's eyes widened as he was familiar with what he saw. His jaw dropped and was confused on the matter. He thought, 'How is it she has the same necklace as me? Do I still have it on?' He grabbed his necklace, 'Yup; its still on, but why does she have the same necklace as me... perhaps this necklace does have a meaning to it...' "Did she tell you what it was for?"
"Nope, she did mention if I ever saw it glow to tell her, whatever that meant. Oh!" The necklace glowed for a second as did Link's necklace and then it stopped. "Woah!"
Link was shocked for a little then was serious, 'No question about it; Zelda knows everything about it and one of these days I'm gonna ask her what it means and why I have the same exact necklace as her.'
Zac closed the box and put it away, "Guess I will tell Zelda, but first lets see if Alissa and Zelda wants to play games with us." Zac said with a smile
"Ok." Link smiled
Zelda and Alissa joined as they all began to play board games. Link, however, was still lost in his thoughts about the necklace. 'I'll ask her one of these days.'
Later that night, dinner time.
Everyone was sitting at the table with the food all sat out in front of them.
"Oh goddesses, I love chicken and dumplings!" Link's eyes lit up.
"Haha that's good to hear"; they gathered the food in their plates and began to eat, "so Link, how's the food taste?" asked Ruby
He took a bite of the chicken and dumplings, "Mmmm, I love it. It's way better than what I can cook; you're an excellent cook Mrs. Harkinian."
"Oh thank you dear, you're making me blush. And there's no need to be formal, call me Ruby."
"Ok Mrs. oh, uh, I mean Ruby."
"You're such a sweetheart."
"Aw gee, thanks."
"You're so handsome too, I'm surprised you don't have a girlfriend." he blushed, "I bet you will be the perfect boyfriend for any girl." Ruby continued
"Yeah, or he wants to hook up with Zelda but too shy to ask." Alissa teased
Link and Zelda looked at each other, than looked away blushing.
"Alissa, don't tease them." Nonhansen said.
"Sorry..."
Later that night
"Do you have to go already?" asked Zelda
"Yeah, it's getting late; I'll see you tomorrow." said Link
She smiled, "I know."
"Come back whenever you want, you're always welcomed here." said Ruby
"Thank you, bye."
"Bye!"
Link left and began walking towards his house. It was dark and quiet and no one was around, Link began to wonder, "It's quiet," he stopped, "too quiet..." he was now outside of town and not too far from his house.
He heard something from behind; he turned around and his eyes widened as a small skeleton crawled out of the ground. "What the—" he heard another sound from behind him again, he turned around and saw another one popping out of the ground. There were two others that popped up and they were all surrounding him. (AN: those are Stalchild from OoT not to mistake them with Stafos)
He picked up a stick to use as a sword. 'This is ridiculous! First time, I thought it was weird, a coincidence; second time it was strange; then after that it just pisses me off! Someone's trying to get rid of me, but who and why?'
He swung the stick and it broke with the first contact. "Well skrew that!" he threw the other half aside. "You guys shouldn't be too hard to beat." he threw a kick at one, then a few punches and destroyed it. "This would be much easier with a sword." He noticed his hand glow of the Triforce. "Whatever this means," he continued to destroy the other skeletons, "it's a sign."
He observed the rest of the area to make sure no other creatures were around, there was not. "I got to figure a way to carry a weapon around without bringing it to school, but how? These 'attacks' keep happening when I'm going home, so what could that mean?" he continued to walk home, "I want to put this to the side, but somethings going to happen. I bet these attacks are some sort of hint for what's to come. And I bet Zelda would know what that something is, but I need to find the right time to ask her." he looks at his left hand, " I wonder if this thing on my hand that keeps showing up can help me hide a sword...hmmmm..."
He arrived home and went to bed filled with thoughts.
