The Wolf In Green
Chapter One
The Bite
It was fall in the Mushroom Kingdom. The crisp air and the colorful assortment of leaves was what made this season so perfect for Luigi. Long sleeve weather, a chance to change up his normal summer clothes into something more suitable for the weather conditions, and possibly something Daisy will like. He was planning on having a nice walk that evening with Daisy, who had recently moved to the Mushroom Kingdom, to be closer to Luigi. They were in love. Head over heals for each other. They were the couple that everyone wanted to be. Fresh and full of life. Daisy never wanted to much out of Luigi, always just a nice quiet walk was perfect for her as long as they were together. Luigi had a hard time understanding that Daisy liked him for who he was. He always would try to dress up nice for her, or try to be more brave, but always ended up failing. The problem was is his ignorance sometimes put him in life threatening situations when Mario wasn't there to save him. For instance, on there last date a spider had managed to crawl on Daisy's arm. Luigi, of course trying to act heroic, tried to remove it from her. It jumped on him and he freaked out causing the spider to bite him sending him to the ER.
Luigi herd a knock on the door. He panicked, knowing it was probably Daisy. His hair looked perfect and his shirt was adorable, it was a long sleeve version of his normal green shirt, but instead of the overalls he wore a dark pair of jeans. Luigi didn't feel that way about his look though, but he had to answer the door. He walked up to the door and put a sexy smile on his face.
He opened the door and in the most sexy voice he could muster he said.
"Hello gorgeous!" Luigi shook his head. This wasn't Daisy it was his brother.
Mario had just got home from Peach's place, they where watching a movie for there date night.
Luigi was blushing. He was so embarrassed he started to cry.
Mario ran over to his little bro to comfort him. "Shh it's ok! Everything's fine! It's just me! I'm not going to laugh! Daisy's not here yet." Mario said in a soothing voice. He knew how much Luigi wanted to make a good impression on Daisy. "I love the shirt bro! It truly works on you."
Luigi rubbed his eyes, "You really think so, bro?" He sniffed.
"I know so!" Mario reassured him, "Don't you do anything crazy, Weeg! I'm warning you, I couldn't stand it if something happened to you. Make sure you stay safe."
"I will be fine bro, don't worry!" Luigi told his older sibling. Luigi always felt his brother was to protective of him, he could handle this himself. It was just a date, Luigi thought.
The doorbell rang again. It had to be Daisy this time. Luigi ran to the door and opened it.
"Hello gorgeous!" He said a second time.
It was Daisy. She blushed, and giggled.
"Well hello you handsome stranger have you see Luigi around here?" Daisy quietly asked Luigi.
Luigi's face turned red. "I don't know what's he look like?" He answered.
"Now that I think about it he kind of looks like you." Daisy grabbed Luigi and kissed him right on the lips, gently sliding her tongue into his mouth, making Luigi go limp.
"Shall we start our walk, cutie?" Daisy asked.
"Sure!" Luigi walked out the door. He slipped his hand into Daisy's, as they walked toward the forest trail.
Mario watched them go, should he follow them? He had a bad feeling about what was going to happen.

"Look!" Daisy pointed out into the distance. "A baby dear! Aww how cute. Look it's mother is helping it stand..." a hawk flew into the cleaning and grabbed the fawn, and flew away with its dinner. Luigi was starting at the spot where the sweet innocent creature was lying.
"What the hell is wrong with nature?" That was Daisy, yelling into thin air, "Come on Luigi, lets go."
"Coming!" Luigi followed Daisy deeper into the forest. It was now dark outside, the full moon was showing, and the sky was almost black.
"Should we head home?" Daisy asked Luigi.
"Yes! Please! It's getting to dark! Mario's probably worried sick!" Luigi was shaking. Daisy could tell the dark made Luigi anxious. A howl sounded out through the cold autumn air. It was bone chilling.
"Wh... What was that?" Luigi said in a shaky voice. "Is it a Werewolf?"
"Don't be silly Luigi! Werewolves don't exist. There fictional creatures. It's probably just a coyote, or something." Daisy told her green clothed date.
"Yea a coyote. An awful big one!" Luigi shook at the thought. Just then Luigi herd leaves crunch from behind him. He jumped and spun around. "Who's there?" Luigi's voice had a catch in it when he tried to speak. Then it seemed to happen as fast as it happened it stopped. He herd snarling. "Daisy?" Luigi pleaded, but she was know where in sight. Dang it! She must have gone ahead when I stopped to check what the noise was. Then out of the landscape in front of him a huge black wolf with red eyes was running right for him.
"Daisy!" Luigi screamed, "Help!" Without thinking Luigi turned around and ran. He tripped and fell on a stump, his foot was stuck on something he couldn't see, he tried to pull it out. He herd a loud snap. A huge amount of pain ran up his leg. He had broken a bone. Luigi helplessly cried as the creature advanced on him. The ginormous wolf was inches away when it pounced. It sank its teeth into the plumbers arm, and blood started to pour out from the wound. It rugged and pulled on Luigi's arm, as Luigi fainted. The last thing he herd was more howling, and he saw his attacker run off, into the distance.

"Luigi bro! Speak to me!" It was Mario. He was pouring cold water on Luigi. Luigi shot up, breathing heavily and painting, plus he was soaking wet. His eyes where still closed, he didn't feel like he needed to open them. He sniffed the air. It smelled like home, he sniffed again, He knew he was in his room. He opened his eyes and looked around. He was indeed in his room. How did he know that he was home, in his room without even looking at anything? He sniffed. He smelled his Mario, and Daisy and sure enough they were both there.
"Uggh, What was going on? Luigi moaned.
"Bro! Your alive! I knew it!" Mario ran over to Luigi and hugged him. "Daisy look! He's awake!"
"Luigi! Your alive! I swear I thought you were behind me the whole time! Where you attacked?" Daisy said in a guilty voice. Luigi could smell there fear. Both of them had it. He shook his head. No that's not what I'm smelling! I'm not supposed to be able to smell that stuff!
"Yes! Daisy! Mario I was attacked! By a huge wolf!" Luigi shook just thinking about it, "I think it might have been a Werewolf!" Luigi told them.
"Luigi, bro! It was probably just a big wolf, there is no such thing as a Werewolf..." Mario assured him.
"That's what I said about ghosts! Then I met my moral enemy King Boo! I never believed in magic until I met Kamak and I believed in it more when I met Dimentio! I didn't believe in Bowser getting the best of us until Fawful's rain. I didn't..."
"I know, bro, a lot of crazy stuff happens where we live, but Werewolves is we're I draw the line! I will take you to the doctor in the morning Luigi. Goodnight. Daisy I trust you to see your self off." Daisy shook her head.
"Goodnight, sweetheart." Daisy and Luigi hugged and kisses one more time before Daisy left for the night.
When Mario herd the door close. He ran into Luigi's room. He jumped on Luigi's bed and rough housed with him.
"I know you're scared bro, I'll stay here with you tonight." Mario said in a comforting voice. He laid Down beside Luigi. "Remember this. I'm always here for you..." He turned off the light.
When Mario drifted of to sleep Luigi said "I don't know what's going on with me bro, but what ever it is it's not normal." Luigi licked Mario's face before adjusting his broke leg and drifting off to sleep.

It had been a month since the strange accurate in the woods. All of Luigi's wounds where healed, his minor brake in his leg was healed. Tonight was a full moon. For some odd reason Luigi was really nervous about going outside that night. He didn't know why. Mario was in the kitchen making popcorn. It was five thirty in the afternoon, in thirty minutes the moon was surly going to be out. Luigi kept having a thought in his mind. He needed to get as far away from Mario as possible. He tried to ignore the thought. Tonight was supposed to be a good night, hanging out with his bro watching a movie. Mario walked out of the kitchen holding a bowl of popcorn.
"You didn't add the little chocolate peanuts I liked did you?" Luigi questioned.
"Of course I did! I know there your favorite!" Mario answered.
"I can't smell them though." Luigi replied Luigi.
"Well of course you can't! There impossible to smell from that far away." Mario looked confused.
"What ever you say bro!" Luigi started to eat the popcorn.

It was now six thirty five, and the moon was surly out by now.
Mario stood up to open a window, and let some cool autumn air in. He stood up and opened the curtains before Luigi could stop him. His insides felt like they were twisting around, and his intestines felt like someone was trying to rip them out.
"Bro! I don't feel... so good... I'm going to go to the bathroom..." Luigi said in a weak voice.
"Luigi? Are you ok?" Mario said sitting back down.
"I'm fine!" Replied Luigi, "I'm just going to the bathroom."
Luigi managed to hobble into the bathroom. He had a strong sense that it would be a lot easier to run and walk on four legs than two. When he arrived in the bathroom he got on the ground. On all fours. Then suddenly his skin began to burn all over. He felt hair, no fur, growing out lol over him. He was burning up so he ripped off all of his clothes, and breathed heavily. He tried to scream Mario's name but nothing came out. He began to cry, what was happening to him? What was he becoming? Then it felt like every bone in his body was breaking into. They were cracking and forming into something else besides a person. During The whole experience, Luigi felt like he wanted to die. It was so painful that Luigi couldn't even scream for his brother. Finally when all the pain stopped Luigi could get Mario. He yelled Mario's name as loud as he could. He felt weak, so he collapsed to the ground.
Mario herd something coming from the bathroom. It sounded like a howl, but Mario didn't have a dog. Neither did Luigi. Mario got off the couch and he yelled Luigi's name. When he got to the bathroom he slowly opened the door.
"Luigi?" Mario called. When Mario opened the door, he didn't see his brother at all. Instead he saw a huge grey wolf with icy blue eyes, that remained Mario a lot of his own.
"Wolf!" Mario screamed, "How did you get in my house?"
'Bro!' Luigi stood up feeling shaky, and wobbly. 'Bro! What happened to me?'
Mario turned around and grabbed the only weapon he could find. A baseball bat. He picked it up and swung it at the giant wolf.
'Bro! Stop! Your going to hurt me! Bro!' Luigi fell back to the ground still weak, 'Brother!' Luigi shook all over scared for his life.
Mario lowered the bat, the wolf didn't try to attack him so why should Mario hurt it. Something about this wolf was weird. When it shook it remained him of... "Luigi?" Mario dropped the bat on the floor. The wolf wagged it's tail in recognition.
Mario bent over in front of the massive creature, and put his hand on its snout. "Brother!" No it couldn't be, could it?
Luigi stood up an ran over to his brother. He was trying to speak to his brother, but all that came out were barks and growls.
Mario saw the wolf coming, he felt threatened. He picked the bat up and hit the beast on the head with the bat hard.
Luigi fell to the floor whimpering, his Skull was bleeding, and his head felt num. His whole body was shaking. Mario had hit him! His own brother! Why? He quivered miserably. He saw his brother frantically searching for something, but he couldn't here what he was saying. The red plumber stepped over Luigi, and saw his brothers clothes lying on the floor in the bathroom. He picked up Luigi's hat and placed it on top of his head. The last thing ha remembered was his brother laying his head on his side crying, before everything went black.

I know I should be working on Is This Goodbye, Luigi? But I have writers block on that one. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.
Head Cannons -
• Luigi looks like the wolves from The movie Twilight in wolf form, not a weird looking man/wolf, but a giant normal looking wolf.
• Mario cares about Luigi a little to much, because every time he is not around to protect Luigi something bad always happeneds.
• Daisy and Luigi are very close, and will stop at nothing to make sure they let each other know it everyday.
