"Noel! Noel!"

My mother wouldn't stop shouting my name, so it left me no choice but to go down the steps and into her rage. "Yes?" I asked, looking down at my mother who was about 5'3" and I was 5'11".

She tugged on my very loose braid to get me down to her level, though it just made me get on one knee. "You've heard me calling your name for ages! Where have you been?" She demanded, but I just smacked her hand away.

"Playing Zelda." I replied curtly, standing back up and crossing my arms. "I know what you want." I said, sighing.

"Then what is it?" She asked.

"You want me to clean out Bogey's litter box. And I told you that I'd do it when I'm done with this boss." I said without any emotion.

"Are you done?" She demanded.

"No. I'm dead." I replied in a tone that sounded like it was her fault. "So if you'll excuse me, I'm going back to my game. After I clean up Bogey's crap." I said, turning around and walking away, tuning out her rants. I went to the extra bathroom we had, where my cat's litter box was and cleaned it out, gagging at the smell.

I tossed out the crap and then went back to my game. I was beating Ganon for the third time successfully, but in order to keep playing I kept telling my mom that it was the first time.

I was bobbing my head to my music which was The Faint. God, I love techno music. I love Legend of Zelda, too. Whenever I've had a bad day, I can always count on these games to cheer me up. I just wish it was real. That way I can do there and change my name, change everything about me. I can be a whole new person, and not have to worry about anything.

The only thing I'd miss would be my friends and my cat. But hey, there's a bunch of stray cats in front of Jovani's place. I could always ask for one, and then run away from the mom. I could be more of a thief than I am now. I could still draw, just burn some wood and make charcoal.

Then I could meet Link.

…

GOD DAMN I WISH THIS GAME WAS REAL.

I finished off Ganondorf and stood, stretched, and looked around for my shoes. I need to get out of this place, and the main way is to take a walk.

And then my mom called my name again.

So I went down the stairs and looked around for my mom. She was by the door with a dark skinned woman with red hair and golden eyes. I giggled a little. "You look like this girl from a game I'm obsessed with." I said as I walked over to her, my arms crossed.

"Really?" The woman asked.

She kind of sounds like her, too.

"Well, I'm here to take you to a friend's house. You know Nabooru, right?" She asked, and my eyes widened, though I nodded. Sure, it was stupid for me to do that, but I was curious. She's telling me that I should know a fictional character. Maybe she can take me away. "Sure. Lemme go get ready, though." I was in my pajamas, which was just a baggy shirt and shorts. So I left for my room and picked out some costume-like clothes, but hey, when I pick out I wear, I have to be in a certain mood.

I went back downstairs, wearing sort of a slutty outfit, though it only showed most of my stomach. I had a no sleeved shirt that cut off near the middle of my ribs that had a hood, skin tight arm warmers that went from below my arm pit to my wrist, three belts, one of them having dynamite-like bars that hung from it, pants that cut off below my knees, and my normal black school-like shoes. I put on my bomb double hair pin, two more in my shirt, just in case. I put my hair back in the incredibly loose braid, and then went to the Gerudo after saying farewell to my cat. "I'm ready." I said with a weak smile.

She examined my outfit then blinked. "Alright. Come." She wrapped her hand around my wrist and pulled me out the door without another word.

"So where are you taking me, exactly?" I asked, easily keeping my pace with hers.

"I am taking you to Hyrule." She responded.

My heart skipped a beat. "Seriously?" I squeaked.

"Seriously." She replied with a slight roll of her eyes. "You are a professional thief, are you not?" She asked, stopping in order to look at me.

My eyes widened slightly. "Ah, no. I mean, sure, I know how to be sneaky and everything, but—"

"Perfect." The Gerudo said, then took my wrist again and started to pull on me again. "We will put you through training." She said, continuing to tug on my arm.

"Ah—Hey!" I shouted, trying to stop, but she was strong for a woman. "Wait, I don't work as a thief anymore! I'm more into engineering now!" I shouted, though when I turned my head to look back at my house, it was gone. Everything was gone. We were just walking through an empty road, and then I saw trees rush up to me, which made me squeak and catch up with the Gerudo. "Why me?" I asked her, but she didn't respond. "I said why me!" I shouted, and she stopped again, looming over me.

"Because you have power that Ganondorf needs, do you not?"

"Power? What power? The only thing even close to a 'power' is me being able to tune anyone out!" I growled.

"You have a power that you do not even know about. You are able to change forms, girl." She hissed back at me.

"Change….. Forms? What the fuck does that mean?" I asked, looking at the older woman as if she was insane.

"You will find out sooner or later." She then turned around once again and continued to pull me along. "I will not aid you while you stay here, but I figured that you know enough of Hyrule to keep yourself alive." She tossed me out of the forest and into a large field.

I squeaked when I landed, though I threw out my hands in order to catch myself. I stood up and dusted myself off, looking around as I did so. Where exactly am I? Then everything started to come together.

I turned around and backed up a little, taking in my surroundings. Everything seemed so familiar, yet so strange at the same time.

Then it hit me.

I'm in Hyrule?

First Zelda story! Please don't hate me if it's bad. ;_; And I might mix in the Zelda games, but I most likely won't. :]

I'm obsessed with my characters being able to change form, if you don't already know that. :P
