Dunno what to call this fic. . . . . it is to your liking I am hoping. . .
. .well, what else am I going to do with my spare half an hour? Name
pancakes? Twirl around in circles in a math lesson singing "I love
monkeys"? Hopefully not, but I might consider it, sounds kinda fun!

Having Lunch with Zelda to celebrate my 20th had been pleasant. It was just a small little thing, but it meant a lot to me as I didn't have any family or great friends. Hyrule was all back to normal, and that's what really mattered to me, not birthday parties, not alcohol, not women, just the safety of my land.
Walking through the town as the sun began to set made me feel happier. I had stayed longer than lunch, just talking about things. I didn't do anything with Zelda, it wasn't right, besides, I just didn't feel anything that amazing for her.
It was only January, and already it felt more like the beginning of summer, Hyrule never got cold it always stayed very warm, and summer was almost unbearable sometimes.
Approaching the drawbridge I could of sworn I heard a crack of thunder and everything flash red for a second, but I blinked and the sky was clear and there where no dark clouds. I stopped and listened, there was silence, apart from the noises coming from the town, and various birds in trees and things like that. I shrugged it off and carried on. I thought that making my way to the lake throughout the night was a good idea, I needed to collect some potions just to keep handy, and I wasn't tired so, just keeping going was the best thing for me.
Following the path past the ranch I met the stone wall which was rumoured to be the wall for the first ever town in Hyrule, but some ancient madman like Ganondorf had managed to bury it and some other such rumour. I walked along it, carefully, but with practise, placing my steps so I wouldn't go crashing to the ground. As I reached the end, I stepped down lightly and carried on my way. I saw a figure, down the sort of small dip in the field, near the entrance to the lake, pacing up and down. I could tell, it was a girl, tall and slender, not of Hylian build, although I couldn't see the difference and see why yet. I strode over, an easy smile on my lips, she looked lost and I wanted to help.
Nearing her, I could make out more detail. Thick, long wavy black hair cascaded down her back almost to her hips, and her skin was much paler than that of the Hylian women. Instead of the normal sky blue, her eyes were a deep, ocean color.
I reached her and she spun around, eyes wide. She was clutching her side, and looked prepared to fight or flee.
"Peace, I'm not going to hurt you, I was wondering if you need any help?". I inquired, carefully, I didn't want to offend her.
Her face softened, and I noticed what nice features she had, when calm, she looked gentle and kind, but ever-so-slightly mischievous. "No", she said with a voice like a summer breeze. "I don't need help".
Suddenly with no warning, twin blades appeared in each hand, and she stood facing me, her face turning into mistrust. She was scared, and acting on violence unnecessarily. But then with a loud gasp of pain, she clutched her side and fell to her knees. Blood seeped out from between her fingers. She looked up at me, in a vain effort to look tough and say , 'If I pass out, touch me and Die'. The look soon dissolved away, as her eyes rolled back and she collapsed, unconscious to the grass, staining the green blades red, like small battle worn swords.
I couldn't just leave her there, it wasn't in my nature, even though she had threatened me, she was confused and wary, not in fighting condition. Hopefully when she felt more secure, she would not try to kill me. At the moment she was a woman on the edge.
I decided taking her to the scientist was the best idea. He had a few healing potions, but didn't really like to share them, but I was sure, the second he saw this pretty creature, he wouldn't be able just to turn around and refuse.
~?~
I opened my eyes, after only what seemed like a second. My side stung like 1000 needles and I winced back a tear or two. A face swam in my vision. Traces of sleep made it blurry and distorted it into different shapes. I blinked again and uttered a low groan, before my vision cleared up.
The face sent me into panic, it was all old and wrinkled, teeth poking out of the mouth in all directions, one eyes larger than the other, and white hair standing almost on end.
I shrieked and rolled away with my first instincts. I seemed to fall off a table, and expected to drop to the floor and make a quick getaway but found myself sinking down into water. Boots and a water logged dress could be a problem, but despite the weight, I swam upwards and clung onto the stone for dear life, bringing my head above the surface, I gasped for air and heard a laughing.
A familiar face stood at the other end of the room, doubled over, clutching his stomach, and laughing loud and long. I gave him a withering look and heaved myself out of the water and sat sideways on the side, wringing out my hair. I heard a shuffling, and the man who owned the face which had caused my acrobatics slithered into view. "I take it you are feeling better young lady?", he asked.
"I feel fine", I said shortly. The young blonde man was looking at me. . . . well not at me, let's say at my curves. . . . the upper ones. I turned away so he couldn't goggle at my womanliness.
I sighed, my movements felt restricted by a tight bandage around my waist, like a corset. I heard the two men discussing what medication I should be given on a daily basis. I felt sceptical, who was this blonde guy? And who did he think he was looking after me like a three year old. I can handle medication myself.
"You should put this on the wound twice daily, and make her drink this after every meal so it has food to work on". The old man said to the younger.
"Woah, woah, woah, buddy. If anyone is putting anything on this wound, it's me!", I exclaimed, standing to my full height. Taller than the Elder but shorter than blondy.
The blonde guy was trying not to laugh at me, I could see it, and that irritated me highly. He was going to be a pain, I could tell. I walked to the door, opened it and with one final glance at the two men walked out. I came out facing a lake, it was beautiful, but I was in such a mood I didn't really care and just wanted out. I strode around the house and over a bridge, past a funny stone with an eye, down a little slope and. . .
"Aaw, crap, dead end!", I growled, gritting my teeth and becoming more angry by the second. I spun around to try and use a different route and saw blondy walking across the little bridge. Couldn't he just leave me alone?
"If you're going to stalk off, and run away, you might want to take the medicine with you", he grinned, a lopsided grin that mocked me. I didn't like it.
"I don't need medicine!!", I spat venomously.
"Temper, temper", he taunted. I almost hit him.
"Where am I anyway?", I challenged. He looked at me with suspicion.
"Hyrule of course".
"Where?"
"Hyrule"
"What in the hell is that?"
"Here?" He said, getting confused. I sighed and slammed my hand down on an imaginary surface made by my frustration. I was as far away as possible from home, with an idiot for a saviour.
I pushed past him and crossed the bridge in the opposite direction. This was absolutely ridiculous. I didn't even belong in this world, I felt alone, irritated, and about to spontaneously combust.
~Link~
I could tell she was in a bad mood, but that just wanted me to piss her off further. "You really should stop walking off like that, you might burst a blood vessel with stress, are you stupid or something? You obviously would get lost. . . ." I grinned. She turned, and the look she gave me was pure, undiluted poison. Her eyes seemed to flash green and there was a rumble of distant thunder.
"Say that again, and I can promise you pain comparable to that of having your leg cut off, being liquidised and then beaten with your own limb."
Something told me she was serious, so I just said nothing. With a sharp movement she was off again, only this time in the right direction to get back out onto the field. I followed her mumbles and grumbles as she marched onward, driven by rage. It was really quite amusing, I could tell we had already struck up a good relationship. Aah, sarcasm, nothing else like it.
I suddenly had a thought and ran up to her. She stopped and looked at me dangerously. "My name is Link", I said with a smile. She looked me up and down.
"Good for you, that's nice to know", she began to turn away but I grabbed her by the arm.
"Surely, you should tell me your name".
She looked at me, rolled her eyes and sighed. "Just call me Storm."
"Storm? What about your real name"
"I don't hand out my real name to retards."
"Ok, ok," I sighed, "I get the picture, but why Storm? Why not wind, or rain, or hail?"
"None of your bloody business!" she yelled. I decided interfering further would result in a kick where the sun don't shine so, as before I said nothing.
"Where am I supposed to go? How do I get out of Hyrule?." She said, pacing in a circle.
"Umm. . . . .well. . . . . you don't?" I tried. She looked horrified.
"I can't get out?." She whispered, panic setting into her deep eyes.
"Afraid not." I said, biting my bottom lip. She looked on the verge of explosion.
"YOU MEAN I'M STUCK WITH YOU!!?!?! FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!?!?!." She roared. Storm didn't even wait for an answer before beginning to scream loudly about how frustrated she was and how she wanted to kill something. I backed away at this point.
"Look, it's getting dark, why don't I just get you to stay at my place in the village. . ."
"I am NOT staying with YOU!"
"Look, you don't really have a choice, Storm. I have your medicine, I have the house, I know this land like the back of my hand, and I can protect you."
"I am quite capable of protecting myself Mink!"
"It's Link, and I highly doubt you'd last a minute wrapped up in a bandage like a corset, panicking and distressed."
For a minute she looked stumped, maybe I'd get some peace. . .but then again maybe not. "WHAT WOULD YOU KNOW!?" she screeched, before storming away. Ironic isn't it, she has the temper of her name, I wonder if there will be the calm after the Storm.
"Alright, looks like I'll have to do this my way," I said running after her. She was about to whip around and shout at me again but before she could I scooped her up over my shoulder. I wish I could of seen her face, she was absolutely irate. She began pounding my back like there was no tomorrow.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!!?? LINK!!! PUT ME DOWN NOW!!! NOW I TELL YOU!!! IF I WASN'T OVER YOUR SHOULDER LIKE THIS RIGHT NOW YOU'D BE SO SORRY YOU'D BE CRYING FOR YOUR MOTHER!"
"I'm an orphan, Storm, so just shut up and bear with me ok? All you've done is yell at me and I haven't even had a chance to say anything intellectual or learn anything about you." There was silence. I could sense her guilt. I walked on through the night towards Kakariko, praying she wasn't always like this, because even though she did yell and scream at me, every chance she got, I kinda liked her in a funny way.
