The Odds of Life
Diclaimer: I do not own the Legend of Zelda or any of its characters. Or Toys R Us®. Or Ambercrombie®.
Quick Summary of last chapter: Rauru explains everything that he needs to know about Katie, then Ganondorf breaks out of the Realm. Nabooru feels that it is her fault, and runs out of the temple once the fighting stops and the hole is sealed. Rauru had already sent Link to Earth, and Katie is introduced.
Chapter Three:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later that evening, another incident happened in the neighborhood. Another bright orb was seen falling from the sky, but when investigated, nothing appeared but a crater in the groud. These events made state news that night.
"Hey, Katie?" "Yea?" "Do you think those things were alien invaders, or something?" Katie laughed. Her little cousin Jon was spending the night, and he believed in the unknown. "I highly doubt those were aliens, kid. If they were, wouldn't they be terrorizing the city by now?" finished Katie, while stiffling a laugh.
Jon pondered the situation for a minute, then replied. "No, some aliens are nice...like the Teletubies!" Katie did let a laugh go on that one...he was always so cute and making funny remarks nonchalantly. "It's all ok, Jon. Go to bed. My mom will take you to Toys R Us® tomorrow." "Really?" the blue- eyed blonde asked. "Really."
Jon turned over in the guest bed. "Good night, Katie...Oh! And please say good night to Auntie Lisa and Uncle Greg and Mark, too!" "I will...I promise. Now, get some sleep!"
Katie flicked off the light in the guest room, then turned down the hall into the study where her father sat. "Jon says good night..." "Ok, thanks sweetheart." Katie grimaced. She hated being called that. 'I'm FIFTEEN for God's sake!' she thought. "Dad, please don't call me that..." Her father laughed. He always one to joke around with his daughter. "Ok, sugar muffin." Katie grinned, and walked away.
She climbed the stairs up to the loft, where her room was located. She had discovered the space when she was seven, and has been up there ever since. She climbed into bed, and didn't care about telling her mom and Mark good night. She was worn out from the day's events, and began to sleep...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inside the dream...
A beautiful girl with long golden hair and breathtaking blue eyes stod at the center of a field. All of a sudden, flames spread around her, and stretched out across the land...smothering everything in its path. A ranch was on fire, with horses neighing franticaly to get away from the hot flames. What looked like an entrance to a forest was covered in smoke, and children's cries where heard throughout the blazing meadow. A long staircase crumbled in the fire, people screaming to get out of their burning town; and a drawbridge protecting a town and castle fell down steaming into the moat.
Cries of agony and pain were intolerable to stand...the blonde-haired girl fell to the ground, crying and covering her ears. A crystal surrounded the young woman, and she stood up, only to float away to the castle...It was a gorgeous castle, stained-glass windows and beautiful scenery...Then it changed into a jet black fortress; lifting up off of the ground, revealing molten lava underneath. Cries were heard again, and the girl screamed.
A tall man dressed in black was smiling...with amber yellow eyes....
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"NO!" Katie awoke with a start, sweat dripping down her face.....she had that same dream again....
She got up, got dressed, and had breakfast. Katie was still spooked out by the time her friends picked her up from the mall. "Hey, Katie...What's the matter? You look totally sick..." Allison was playing with a strand of her bleached-blonde hair. "Well?" Katie looked at her. "It's nothing....bad sleep again...." Allison stopped fussing with the stubborn strand. "Did you have that creepy dream, again? You know you really ought to stop playing video games with Mark so late at night...." Katie smiled. She knew it had nothing to do with her brother last night.
"Allison! I went to bed at 9:30 last night! Not playing games, either!" Allison laughed. "Whatever you say! Now, next stop Kristina's house!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The six girls finally got to the mall. Katie was thrilled that Weather Vane had that skirt she wanted, but only Allison wanted to go get it with her. "We want to go to Claires," insisted Kristina. "Fine. Allison and I will go one place, you guys go the other. Samantha nodded her head. "Sounds great...lets go, girls!" Samantha led the other two, while Katie weaved her way through the crowd to Weather Vane.
Allison got caught in mall traffic, forcing Katie to wait. Others were waiting and watching, too, for the perfect opportunity to get the girl and run.
In a corner of the mall entrance....
Link tried desperately not to be touched, but failed miserably with all of the people. 'There's not even this many people who come to shop in the market on sale days!' he thought. Then, he spotted them. Ganondorf and his henchman, looking at their target. Katie. 'That can't be good...'
Ganondorf walked in on Katie and her friend, but they were too eager to shop for him to catch up. Link trailed behind all of them, hoping Ganondorf wouldn't sense him. When Katie turned to check the time on a monitor, she caught a glimpse of Ganon. She quickly whispered to Allison, who in turn, crooked her head a tiny bit to get a look as well.
"Katie...How do you know it's just not some guy paid by the video game shop to dress up and act like a moron?" Allison breathed. "I don't know....I just have this funny feeling..." By then, Katie grabbed Allison's arm and took a sharp turn into Abercrombie®. "Oooo! Nice tank-top! What do ya think?" asked Allison, forgetting all but how good that shirt looked. Katie whirled around. "Allison...DOWN!" She yanked the tall girl's arm, causing her to land right on her butt. "Ouch! My ass...Damnit, Katie! That hurt!" "Shhhh!"
The two girls were hiding in a clothes rack, and saw a shadow cast down past their toes. Then, they heard voices. "The girl is not inside of here. Keep looking...." Allison's eyes bugged out. "Katie...Your dream...." The brunette snatched the other girl's arm, got up, and bolted out of the store. They duo made their way to a balcony and looked down to the first floor. "Katie...what are we gonna do?!" Katie turned her head while Allison pointed a shaky finger at the dark figure that approached them.
As the man advanced them, other customers' eyes were drifting back and forth between the three. The man got so close to the two that Allison let out a scream. Business's stopped. People stared. Security started to venture over. "Allison...I think my mom is here today....if anything happens....The man reached them. He looked down, grinned, and thrust out a hand......then.........
