The Possession
This story is loosely based off the film.
Chapter 1.
"Oh come on Luigi, I'll be fun." Mario sighed as his younger brother stabbed at some toast with a fork. "A yard sale? Really? We have too much stuff already." Mario sighed again "look it's only for an hour, two at the most. Please." Luigi new when he'd been beat so while grumbling he put his on shoes and shoved his hat on. "Fine let's go."
What Mario described as yard sale was not an accurate picture. A yard sale is where someone sells their belongings outside their house. This was a market of second hand goods from all over toad town on a massive field. "Some yard sale, Mario." Luigi said sarcastically. Mario looked sheepish as he looked over the many tables packed with goods "Ok, ok, ok I may have down played it a little." Mario replied sheepishly "But hey its ok anyways, meets you back here in an hour." Luigi watched as his brother ran off into the market. Sighing he shoved his hands and walked off wondering what Daisy was doing this afternoon.
Luigi…Luigi…Come…to...Me…Luigi…
Luigi's head snapped round he was sure he could hear someone calling his name but…
I…am…here…Luigi…find…me…
Luigi frowned now he was sure he could hear someone but there was really no-one around, he had walked to the edge the only person around was some kid with a table of rubbish. The kid was listening to music. Man I hope I'm not losing it, Luigi thought.
So…close…here…I…am…Luigi…
Luigi looked upon the table and saw a box. But this was not just any box it was beautiful with carvings on the oak lid. He ran his hand across the lid and felt a shiver. He wanted this box…No he needed it, it was his, it had called for him and he wanted it.
Yes…take…me…I…can…help…make…you…stronger…faster….better…your…heart…so…pure…free…me…
"How much for this box?" The kids head jerked up in surprise at being asked a question. "Um. I'm supposed to-" he started but Luigi cut him off by slamming down some coins on the table and grabbing the box. "Hey mister wait there's something you need to know!" the boy yelled but it was too late Luigi had disappeared with the box. The box that called to him, that whispered.
Mario was worried; Luigi was late, he was never late. He caught sight of his younger brother and waved. "So what did you buy?" he asked looking at the box, he reached out to stroke the lid "Don't touch it." Luigi snapped "It's mine and I don't want you to break it." Mario was a little taken a back, Luigi never snapped at him ever. He shrugged it off after all it was a hot day. "Um, ready to go?" Luigi said nothing he was standing still with his arms around the box and eyes closed. "Hey, Weegi wake up!" Mario laughed, Luigi snapped out of it and looked around confused. "Don't touch my box, it's mine." He mumbled. The two brothers walked off in silence well one did the other was listening to a voice. Only he could hear it.
That…fool…was…going…to…take…the…power…for…himself…Luigi…You…are…sepical…you…are…chosen…
After an awkward afternoon and evening, Luigi sat on his bed with his box running his hand over the lid he opened it and found four jars. "Huh what's this?" he wondered out loud. He opened the first jar and a tooth fell out. He picked up the molar and looked at it closely. He put it down and picked up the next one, a dead moth fell out. Luigi intrigued poked at it before pitting it on his window still. The third jar contained a doll and the last contained a ring. He slipped the ring on his finger. He put the box on his bedside table and turned the light off. The only noise that could be heard was a fluttering of moth wings against a window…
