Forgotten Innocence: Gage's Terrifying Transformation into Zelda

Title: A Vile Transformation In the heart of the mystical lands from "The Legend of Zelda", a peculiar shift had occurred. Gage Creed, the little boy from the 2019 horror remake of "Pet Sematary", slowly opened his eyes, blinking against the strange surroundings. He was not in familiar territory at all. He found himself nestled under a dainty, intricate quilt on a bed that was most certainly foreign to him. Gage was a petite boy with a mess of blonde hair that tumbled over his wide, guileless blue eyes. His voice was soft and sweet, like marshmallows melting over a gentle fire. He donned a worn, striped pajama ensemble; innocuous and innocent in its endearing representation of his youth. Perplexed, Gage sat up and glanced around the room. He noticed his own reflection staring back from the bedroom mirror. As a sense of puzzlement washed over him, he whispered, "Mommy!" into the silence. Then suddenly, a chilling wind snaked into the room, filling the space with an eerie energy. It was the Wendigo; a dreaded spirit that would bring forth a shocking transformation. Gage's gentle, innocent feet started to morph before his eyes into bony limbs attached to grotesquely knobby knees. His hands clutched the bed at the change, the soft skin ageing, the slender fingers gnarling into clawed appendages. His body twitched and contorted as muscles hardened and bones jutted, reshaping him. As his spine arched cruelly, a grotesque and pronounced hunchback took form above his shoulders. His sweet voice, once lilting and lovely, warbled and deepened, ending in a spiteful growl. His once cornflower blue eyes darkened considerably, morphing into a pervading black, frightened and malicious at the same time. His soft blonde hair turned coarse and austerely black, matching the eerie transformation of his eyes. Finally, his pajamas expanded, becoming a billowy white nightgown, unadulterated in its horror, still pristine and eerie against his grotesque form. Gage shuddered, his transformation complete but his memory distorted. His innocence had vanished, replaced by macabre maturity. Thoughts not his own filled his mind, feelings that weren't his swam within him. He had become Zelda. He moved toward the mirror, his gait less than graceful, a collection of horrifying jerks and shudders. Horror cast in his now-black eyes, he looked at the changed reflection he could not recognize. "RACHEL!" the new Zelda spat out with the same newfound malevolence, her voice resounding within the room. "You did this to me, Rachel!" The words echoed ominously, hitting a chord within her newly formed memory. Gage Creed was no more, replaced utterly and completely by the repulsive, chilling entity living as Rachel's sister Zelda. His innocence was but a forgotten ghost, haunting tales of the past.
