Katalina Johnson or Kat as she preferred to be called was a normal teenager or at least she always thought she was. She loved/hated school depending on the work, loved playing video games, and reading fanfiction. Among her other hobbies, she loved archery and dancing. Her looks were pretty much average too, she wasn't too fat or too thin, just average in weight and in height at about 5'5". Her hair was dark brown with lighter natural highlights. Her eyes were a little unusual, most of the time they were the color of amber, but sometimes especially when she was happy, there would be flecks of green.
The day after she turned seventeen was the day everything changed and Kat would finally experience what she had only read about in fanfictions. Yes, she was thrown into a game, a game she hadn't played in years and hadn't even thought about, except in the occasional fanfictions she would read, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
"Hey Kat! Mi amiga, you're finally seventeen, joining the rest of us big girls!" Kat turned to see one of her best friends, Raina running up to her in the school hallway. She sidestepped quickly and her friend flew past arms wide. "Hey! I wanted to give you a hug." Raina turned around hands on her hips, her curly short brown hair bouncing from the sudden movement.
"Kill me more like at that speed. Yeah I can't believe I'm seventeen, takes forever for September to come and then school starts and its senior year. Well, maybe I can finally get away from the parents." Kat looked away toward the sky, no longer smiling. "They were arguing again today about money and me eventually going to college. They keep pushing me to go, but then they don't want to pay for it, but forget about that I want to tell you about a dream I've been having since the beginning of the month." The grin returned. "You'll enjoy this since you're into fanfiction. Remember how we even wrote one before putting ourselves into the game?"
"Yeah! That was a lot of fun. Too bad it won't ever actually happen."
"Well, I was with Zelda in that garden in the castle. I didn't even get a chance to do anything when Link came." She sighed. "He is such a cute little boy! It was so realistic, Zelda and Link were real people, not animated and I could even smell the flowers. After all the boring talk, Zelda introduces me as the Chosen One to aid Link on his quest to save Hyrule from Ganondorf. Link left to go on his quest for the spiritual stones alone and I would join him when the time is right. It was then that I woke up. Weird dream, huh?"
"Yeah I wonder what that means. Sounds like Ocarina of Time, but then you haven't played in years, you haven't even been reading or writing fanfiction recently so what s up with that?"
"I don't know, but I have to get to class right now. Maybe we could write a new story based off of it? Well I'll see ya later. Text me." Kat gave her friend a hug then ran off to class.
The rest of the day was normal, after school Kat went to work at the local movie theater, got home late at about eleven and after a quick shower, fell asleep.
DaringFlame--Hey heres the new chapter I've been working on. I'm happier with this one especially since this way I could describe Katalina and since I'm really into details I can describe the other characters. Well Kat pretty much is how I look, but its not exactly a self-insertion, shes just based off of me. Well review and let me know what you think. I'm much faster when I have motivation and I'm looking to improve my writing so constructive criticism would be great.
