Crash, bang, thump!
"What the…" Ludwig said quietly
Ludwig was in his room, barely just waking up. He was just about to shower when he heard the ruckus. He decided to go check what happened. As he walked past his six other koopalings' rooms, he heard some getting up, some still sound asleep. Iggy was wide awake. He had also heard the commotion. He heard the footsteps of Ludwig.
"Ludwig?"
"Yes Iggy?" Ludwig replied
"You heard the noise too right?"
"Yeah, I'm going to check it out right now."
"Ooh! Can I come?" Iggy said excitedly.
"Of course you can, why not?" Ludwig happily said back.
Iggy had always liked how Ludwig can be so nice and caring sometimes. Of course, he didn't like-like him. He liked someone else.
The two crept stealthily down the hallways, barely making a sound. They made their way towards he living room with the gigantic TV and connected gaming consoles. Nothing there. They went to the kitchen, nothing there either.
"What was that noise then?"
"No idea," Ludwig said, disappointed.
The two brothers were heading back to their rooms when they caught eye of something near the door. It was still morning, so they could not see what it was.
"What is that?" said Ludwig with a confused face.
They looked at what appeared to be a big black lump in the shadows. They also noticed the door was slightly open. They both had the same idea, an intruder!
"We're not alone then…" said Ludwig dramatically.
"Who could have gotten in here?" Iggy worrily said
They still couldn't see what the thing was.
"Iggy, can you find a flashlight?"
"Sure"
Iggy searched for a flashlight and tripped with a loud thump.
"Iggy? Are you ok?"
"Yeah, I'm fine," Iggy answered.
Iggy got up, feeling something wet on himself.
After searching for a few minutes, Iggy remembered there was a flashlight in his room somewhere, so he told Ludwig, "How about we just go to my room and look for it? I know I have one on there."
"Ok, let's go"
As they walked into Iggy's room, they searched. Five minutes later, Iggy found the flashlight.
"I found it!" said Iggy, joyfully.
"Nice, now let's get going," giving Iggy an accomplishing look.
As Iggy was getting up, Ludwig was suddenly horrified. He backed away into the wall. Iggy was confused.
"What's wrong Ludwig?"
"I…Ig…iggy…?" Ludwig chattered.
"W…wh..why is…is th…th…there b-bl-blood all over your face?"
Ludwig could not speak. There were tears starting to form and then running down his face. He couldn't bear seeing his brother injured so much at all.
"What? I'm not hurt..."
Iggy looked in the mirror and yelled.
"What the hell!?" Iggy yelled in shock.
Iggy was trying to think how this happened. He remembered himself falling on the floor while looking for the flashlight. He did fall on his face, but nothing hurt. Iggy thought about it, oh no. He peiced together how so much blood was on his face. That's what he felt on his face earlier. Iggy knew what might have happened.
"I'm such a terrible brother! How could I have let him get so hurt?" Ludwig regretted.
"Ludwig! I'm not hurt! I think I know what happened! Follow me quick!" Iggy frantically intructed.
Puzzled, Ludwig got up and trailed behind Iggy. They got back to where Iggy had tripped, flashlight in hand. Iggy slowly lifted the flashlight, switching the switch.
"I knew it," Iggy said with somewhat slight frustration.
"What on earth..." Ludwig said with a mad, confused, and scared tone in his voice.
A puddle of blood, with a trail going towards the black lump. Iggy slowly followed the trail and revealed the black lump.
"A guard? Who did this!?" Ludwig growled.
Meanwhile Lemmy woke up while they were doing all of this. He slowly stepped down the stairs and heard the two talking. It was six thirty in the morning when he woke up. He as the two examining the thing.
"What is that?" Lemmy wondered.
He moved close to them trying to see what it was. They were blocking it because they were sitting in front of it.
"Uh.. hello?"
They did not hear. Lemmy went close to them almost a few feet behind them. They still did not notice.
"We have to tell the others including king dad!" Iggy suggested.
"Yeah, let's go" agreed Ludwig.
They turned around only to find Lemmy in their faces
"BOO!"
Iggy and Ludwig almost had a heart attack while falling back.
"What the!" Iggy said, while blushing?
"LEMMY! DON'T DO THAT! RIGHT NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO BE JOKING AROUND!" Ludwig roared.
Seeing Ludwig so angry was too intimidating for Lemmy, so he got back to a serious mood. It was until he also saw Iggy's blood splattered face.
"WAH!" Lemmy screamed.
While red eyed with tears, Lemmy fainted.
And that's chapter one! Sorry if it is a bit too short, but I will try to make the next one longer. This is my first story so I am not sure how it is going. If you enjoy it, a new chapter will be updated in at most less than a week. See you next chapter!
