Could this be? Teh final chaptar?! Maybeh, maybeh not. Secrets will unfold here... Hehe.
Lota's POV
I looked at him, but didn't believe it... His nose wasn't huge, his face wasn't disgusting, his hair wasn't gross, and all of him wasn't hideous, as I remember the game depicted him... He was actually very handsome. It sounds weird..yes..but that's how it was. He was charming, and kind to me...when I did as he asked of me. He never raised a hand to me, because he needed me...and I needed him. If I would help him destroy the Hero of Time...I would get my life back...
Everything was quiet around me. I couldn't open my eyes, couldn't move my body. Not even a finger. I didn't know where I was...and that frightened me. My mind was fuzzy as well... I remember Ganondorf's look of disappointment. Being ambushed by shadows, and then a sharp pain. I screamed, and everything went black... It was as if my life was flashing through my eyes. I couldn't help but remember how I even got into this whole situation..
~Flashback~
I was sitting in my room... Bored out of my mind! There was a storm outside and I had nothing to do. Then, I thought of my favorite game, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time! I hadn't played it in a while or so, and I really felt like doing so now. I connected the gamecube I had gotten for Christmas a while back, it came with a promotional Zelda disc with four games. But only two of them were really worth playing. I popped in the disc, sat on the edge of my bed, and began the game.
I remember I had last left off on the Shadow Temple, and suddenly regretted playing the game. I had only once watched a friend play it before, and it scared the shit out of me. I quickly muted the TV, and pushed Link onward.
I was doing good, until I got to a room with silver rupees scattered around, and a redead waiting for me at the foot of a ladder I so very much needed. The rupees weren't necessary, but that ladder was. My hands shook the remote in my hand furiously as I stared at the redead on zoom. I felt like the rumble feature.
"No way am I getting near that thing.."
I said to myself. Any form of zombie and or death, was on my 'GTFO!' list. I suddenly heard thunder outside, then lightning struck. The rain was getting worse.
"Dammit night, you always have that eerie timing.."
A flash of light shone through my window, illuminating a creepy shadow on my wall behind the TV. I got a bit scared but ignored it, maybe it was just my own shadow, and I was getting scared for no reason. I was wrong, so very wrong. Like wrong plus more wrong times wrong to the power of wrong.. Shortly, another bolt followed the first, and the shadow was closer. The form on my wall had open arms. I looked at myself, my arms were on my knees.
I turned around quickly, but there was nothing there. Maybe I was just seeing things. It was late and I was pretty tired. The lights shut off and I dropped my control to the floor. I turned to the light switch next to my door, it was still flipped up. The darkness was also on my 'GTFO' list.
The power was out, but that didn't stop my TV. I stared into the screen, the game had frozen. The picture had twisted into those fuzzy and distorted colors you see when a game breaks down. Link and the scenery were messed up and unmoving, but the redead in the corner was plain as day.
I started breathing pretty quickly, feeling my heart skip several beats. I couldn't even stand just staring at it, be it real or not. I jumped out of bed and pressed the power button on the TV, but nothing happened. I heard a moan from the speaker on the left, and looked at the TV. The redead was standing, but everything else was still distorted.
"What the crap?!"
Something strange was going on, but I was too scared to comprehend it. I crawled to the wall and pulled the plug. Sweet peace, the TV turned off. I sat at the foot of my bed, trying to slow my heart rate.
"Just a glitch.. It's a pretty old game, they all had them.." I tried to convince myself.
Then the static came. The TV was back on, but there was nothing but loud static. I covered my ears and crawled up my bed, but felt a strong grip on my ankle. I screamed and turned around, dead wrinkled fingers around my own living flesh. I followed the hand to the arm, and the arm to the shoulder, shoulder to the neck, and the neck to the head. Empty eye sockets and gritted teeth greeted me. Redead, was my very first thought.
I couldn't find the breath to scream anymore. I turned back around and dug my nails into the bedsheets, but they only pulled off, as the redead pulled me. I grabbed at my mattress, but my finger nails only ached, this thing was pulling too hard. I was already on the floor.
"Let go of me!"
It screamed and I froze, my foot a centimeter from the redead's head.
"Son of a-"
It grabbed my other leg with it's free hand and disappeared into the static. I saw my feet disappearing into the static, my legs went too. I was now at my waist. I pushed at the ends of the screen, but it was like a vacuum. And I was the dust.
Now I kinda wish someone was home with me.
I opened my mouth to scream, hoping maybe the neighbors would hear, but my voice was muffled by the static. My room came out of view, and my head started to sting. I was being dragged through darkness now, and it was getting hard to not lose my mind.
"Where are you-"
It stopped. My legs hit the floor, it let me go. I heard skeletal grunts and laughter all around me. I looked around, but saw nothing. I felt a thump next to me and turned, the redead was still, crumpled at the floor.
"Is it..dead?"
I felt a breath of cold air on my neck and turned, welcomed by a Stalfos. It raised it's sword at me, and I lost all consciousness I had left in me.
-----------------
I sat up slowly, a rough pain quickly surged through me, and I fell again. Soft, and bouncy. I felt around with my hand. Touched and poked. It was a bed! Was I home? I probably just had a bad dream. I opened my eyes and looked around. It was dark, I was in a room, but it wasn't my room.
"You're awake." said a somewhat deep voice.
I turned to my left, there was a man standing at the bedside. He was tanned, muscular, but not too much, he had long red locks blown around his head, and he had the most handsome face. He wore heavily armored clothes. I looked at him for what seemed the longest time. I knew I recognized this person, but I couldn't come up with a name.
"I was starting to think you were going to stay dead. But of course this magic never fails."
I looked at him, puzzled. Stay dead?
"Those damn Stalfos killed my redead, and murdered you as well." he said, almost as if reading my thoughts.
I felt my eyes grow wide. What kind of joke was this guy trying to pull? I can't be dead. No way!
"Where am I." I demanded more than asked.
He snickered, "Hyrule, kid."
I jolted up, ignoring the pain in me.
"You're kidding right? Hyrule isn't real!"
He looked at me sternly, "Of course it is, Hyrule is real, and soon will be mine..."
I gasped, "Ganondorf! You're Ganondorf!"
He reached down and picked me up by my arm, covering my mouth with his free hand.
"Quiet kid! You seem to know who I am, and you think Hyrule isn't real. I had that redead bring you here for that reson."
"Because I'm confused?" I mumbled through his fingers.
"No! Because you have the key to getting rid of the Hero of Time!"
Hero of Time? ...Link?
"Guy, I don't know who you are. Or why you kidnapped me, but you. Are. Nuts. You're obviously a cosplayer, that suit is so cheap. Now let me go, or I'm calling the cops."
He raised his fist, and grinned. The triforce mark on his hand glowed bright.
"The Triforce of Power..." I said, touching his hand lightly.
"Yes, you're knowledge about Hyrule is vast. You will be very useful to me." He grinned again, eying me.
He picked me up and took me to a far corner in the wall.
"This mirror, look at yourself in it."
I turned around, he set me down. I looked in the mirror, strained my eyes even. But I couldn't find me.
The girl in the mirror had very long, pitch black hair, purple eyes, paler than white skin, and a black fog like shadow pasted around her eyes. She was wearing a black, simple, strapless dress.
"That's not me.." my reflection mimicked.
"But it is. When those Stalfos murdered you, I was kind enough to revive you. With the power of darkness, of course. You're a shadow being."
I really..did die...
-----------------
I sat in bed, it had been three months since I was brought to Hyrule, according to Ganondorf, and I still couldn't cope with this. I would pinch myself every morning, hoping I would wake in my bed. But it never happened.
Ganondorf was actually being kind to me, he would dress me everyday, feed me, even bathe me. (But he gave me the bed at least.) I would kick him in the face every time, but he never rose his fist to me. He was like a guard, I had gotten pretty used to him. I kinda liked him. He wasn't as ugly as everyone depicted him, he was quite handsome.
I didn't know what day it was, time, or anything. And it was driving me nuts. My time and day paranoia was disturbed by the opening of my room door.
"Kid, I'm going to Hyrule Market. I have business to take care of. Don't leave this place" he stepped closer to the bed, kneeled on it, and breathed on my lips "You're time to leave will come very soon.."
Just like he came, he left. There were no windows in the room, so I didn't know where in Hyrule I was, and I was too scared to walk out the front door. If I was already murdered once, it could happen again. I ended up falling asleep, Ganondorf was taking his time there. I knew at this point he went to destroy and murder at Hyrule Market. He was going to chace after Impa and the child Princess.
But I didn't care. I only cared about home, how to get there, and when I would get there.
I was shocked awake by the room door slamming open, and angry Ganondorf burst in and stood me up.
"That damn princess.." he mumbled. "It's time, for you to go."
He angrily tore at my clothes and looked at me in the mirror, grunted and dressed me in a poofy skirt with black and gray stripes, a spaghetti strap red top, black tights and matching black knee high boots. He picked me up and slammed his hand onto my forehead, hitting my skin with the triforce mark. I felt my skin burning, but at the same time like a strong malicious power was flowing through me. My lungs were aching, my head stung.
"What are you doing to me...?!" I gasped out.
A bright light from the Triforce on his hand blinded me, and forced me to shut my eyes. After an eternity, as it seemed, my pains went away, and I was on my knees, gasping for breath.
He stood me up, and faced me towards the mirror. I was scared to look at myself again, but I did so anyways. I looked normal, I was wearing the clothes I had when I was taken here, except for the boots, they weren't mine. I looked at my face, My skin was an albino-like shade of pale, and my eyes were emerald green, no fog shadow around them. I looked normal.
"Now listen up, you know what to do here. You will guide the Hero of Time through his journey, and bring him to me. Render him useless, and I will have his triforce, as well as the Princess's. Tell them your name is Lota, remember it, and use it. And never give up where you got it. The pain you experienced just now was the Triforce of Power connecting to you, but only briefly. You should have enough time, with this power, to last in the World of Light, bring the chosen hero to me, and come back to this World of Darkness. But, should you go aginst me, you will never see the World of Light again."
I looked at him through the mirror, wanting to question him on most of what he said, but I was reluctant.
"If I bring Link to you, can I then go home?" I asked him instead, my tone serious.
He smirked at me and nodded, "Of course you can. It'll be as if this never happened."
"Now, close your eyes."
My eyes closed on their own at his command, and I, once again, lost all consciousness in me.
-----------------
I felt rain trickling down my face, cold, hard floor under me, and the smell of death. My head hurt savagely. I heard footsteps from afar, then they closed in.
"Hey who's this girl?" asked a boy, more likely a young man's voice.
"What is she doing in the middle of the cemetery?"
~End of Flashback~
Yes, of course, that's how I got here...
Pretty much more detailed form of the Prolouge and part of Chapter 2. I guess there will be one more chap after all. Yay.
Hope I was clear enough here. Expect the next chap.
