Well, this is my first ever Legend of Zelda fan fiction. I started it a while back; so, I figured I'd put it on here. Since it has more chapters already written, whoever likes this won't be without a chapter when I have to update my other fan fictions. ^_^
PLEASE READ THIS: This story is mainly about Anju and her brother, Grog. Grog doesn't have many fan fictions - or barely any - that include him or have him even mentioned in them. So, since I suddenly had interest in this character, I figured that I'd give him some love and write a fan fiction about him. However, this does change a little bit of the Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask games. It will be mentioned; but I wanted to tell you, anyway.
When Grog goes into the Lost Woods on OoT, we all know he ends up turning into a monster. But in this story, it is said that he did turn into a monster, but Link created a potion to save him instead.
The rest that is different from OoT and MM... well, you'll see, I suppose. Sorry this author's note was so long. Enjoy the story, though! =)
"So, are we really going to be arriving at Termina in only five hours?"
"Yes; we are. Now, please, be quiet and get the rest of your things packed."
"Can my cuccos come, too?"
"They can, but they are not staying with us."
"But who will they stay with? And what about their food? Will they get train-sick? They've never been on a train before."
"I'm sure they'll be fine."
"Oh! No they won't! My poor cuccos! I love them so much!" The young girl turned to her grandmother. "Granny, do you think they will be okay?"
"Oh, Tortus, the cuccos will be fine. Now, do you want me to read you a story?"
"I'm not Tortus. Tortus was my grandfather. But anyway, about the cuccos-"
"Enough, Anju! If you keep going on and on about the cuccos I'll get rid of 'em!" yelled Anju's father, Mutoh.
Anju lived with her mom, dad, grandma, younger brother, and eight cuccos (one of who belonged to her brother). She had long, straight red hair and blue eyes. She had been asking lots of questions about the new place they were going to be moving to to her mom all morning. It was irritating her father terribly. Which, it made him even more mad when she brought his mother into the conversation. Anju sighed and let it go. There was no use in arguing with him.
He was the boss of everything. Of the village that they lived in, of the workers who worked for him, and of the family. The only one who was the boss of him was his mother, because even she, old and wrinkly, could still spank his butt when needed.
Anju placed a dress into her suitcase. That's when the door burst open and in came two of Mutoh's workers, each holding Anju's brother, Grog, by the arms. He was pale and so skinny you could almost see his ribs. He had a mow-hawk on top of a bald head, and not many friends.
"Hey boss, look who we found trying to run away by jumping over the village's fence," snarled one of the workers.
Grog looked at his dad and swallowed hard. He didn't look scared or worried, his face remained emotionless, even though on the inside, he was terrified.
The two workers threw him toward his dad; he landed on his hands and knees. He looked over his shoulder and shot the workers an angry look. They laughed.
"Get up!" Mutoh ordered.
Not wanting to, Grog stood up.
"Why were you trying to run away?" Mutoh yelled. "You knew that we were moving today!"
"That's why I was running away," Grog muttered under his breath.
"Speak up," Mutoh ordered. "I can't hear you."
Grog sighed. "I said that's why I was running away! Don't you get it? I don't wanna move! I want to stay here!"
"Why do you want to stay so bad?" Mutoh asked, using a harsh voice.
"What if that boy comes back?" Grog asked. His whole family had heard the story about him making only one friend in his whole life. Although, most of his family didn't even believe that. He didn't know the boy's name, but the boy had saved his life.
He had wandered into the Lost Woods, fallen asleep, and woke up to the sound of his cucco, Cojiro, crowing. A boy was holding Cojiro. Only nice people could tame the cucco, so, Grog had assumed that the boy was nice. He gave him a potion to get to his grandmother. By the time the boy had gotten the potion and returned to the Lost Woods, Grog had turned into a monster. The medicine that his grandmother made could not heal a monster, so, the boy came up with a potion on his own and saved Grog. After that, they never saw each other again. Other than Anju, no one in Grog's family believed that there was a boy in the woods.
"Shut up about that boy! It's been years since then! He ain't never comin' back! Now, next time I catch you tryin' to run away, you're going to wish you could have!" Mutoh yelled.
"Come on, Grog. I'll help you pack." Anju said, wrapping one arm around her brother's shoulders and walking with him over to all the suitcases. "I believe you," she whispered.
Grog was glad, but didn't smile. "Thank you," he whispered back.
An hour later, they arrived at the train station. Mutoh let his four workers come with them. That way, when they reached Termina, he would at least have some decent workers with him. So, they all got their suit cases and piled onto the train. Grog took a seat beside a window. Anju sat down next to him. He didn't look at her, he just stared out the window.
"What's wrong?" Anju asked.
"I didn't wanna leave," Grog answered quietly.
"It won't be as bad as you think," Anju promised.
"That's easy for you to say. You've at least had some friends before in your life. I have only had one. Which, doesn't really make a difference since I don't know his name and I'll probably never see him again," Grog replied.
"Don't say that. I'm sure you'll see him again. And as for the name thing, I know his name," Anju told him.
Grog, for the first time in years, turned to Anju and gave her a half-smile. "You do?" he asked, a spark of excitement in his voice. Anju nodded. "I think it was... Link," she said.
