Chapter 2: The missing steak knife
Another chapter! Thanks to shadowclanwarrior for the advice and owen96 for reviewing. Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Mario characters.
"This is all so messed up..." Daisy huffed as she yanked her trunk onto the old bed.
"I know. What are we supposed to do?" Peach questioned placing her suitcase on a similar bed across the room.
Peach and Daisy had chosen the farthest bedroom from the stairs and were unpacking some of their things. Daisy rolled her eyes.
"Don't do anything stupid." She responded.
The two princesses walked down the long staircase into a large room on the left. There, most of the gang were sitting at a large wooden table. Almost all of them looked as confused as Peach and Daisy were.
It was late afternoon and the sun was close to setting. Soon, it would be dark... Luigi and Yoshi entered the room, joining the rest of the gang. They had been outside in the backyard.
"So.. What do we-" Toad began saying.
BOOM.
Everyone turned to face to coat closet door behind them. Something in there had made a sound.
BOOM BOOM.
No. Something in there was trying to get out. Most of the people had backed up, a few had even ran to a different room. Toadette stared at them all. She had more guts than they did.
She took a deep breath as she took a step towards the door. People were peering behind the chairs, terrified as to what sort of thing was trying to escape the small closet.
Toadette was sweating as she turned the knob of the door and opened it a crack. She reached for the door to open it some more when-
"WAHHAAHA!"
Toadette jumped back in shock and surprise. What she was expecting to jump out of the closet was a murderer. Not Wario.
Wario cackled evilly on the ground. People started coming out from behind their chairs and tables, some looking relieved, some annoyed.
"Wario! That wasn't funny!" Toadette screeched at him.
"Sorry, not sorry!" Wario laughed.
"You should really be more careful.. I don't know if you remember, but there is a killer in this house..." Toadette boomed.
The small mushroom girl glared at Wario, who was just catching his breath on the ground, before stomping away into the room across the hall.
It was now 7:00 at night. The group had just finished eating dinner and were about to watch a movie.
"Um, there's not much of a selection.." Rosalina said examining the movies. Most of them were really dusty.
"Let's watch that one." Waluigi stated pointing to a movie titled, 'Jaws'.
Rosalina placed the movie into the DVD player and turned the television on. She took a seat on the couch next to Yoshi.
"Hey, does this place have popcorn?" Luigi wondered out loud.
"Yeah, I saw some in the pantry earlier today." Toadette said. "I'll go make some."
"WAIT!" Wario hollered at her. Toadette jumped in shock at his scream.
"What?" She responded, trying not to explode.
"Can you bring me the leftover steak from dinner?" Wario asked with a huge smile.
"Ugh. Alright, fine." Toadette responded, annoyed.
Toadette left the room and went to the kitchen two rooms over. She heard the movie start and everyone was silently watching. She entered the kitchen. It was very eerie in here. The curtains were blowing in the windows and there seemed to be a storm outside. She opened the cupboard to get the popcorn. Toadette opened the package and placed it in the microwave.
"2 minutes, not a long wait for popcorn.." Toadette sighed.
She nearly jumped at the sound of something tapping the glass. She spun around, eyes wide in fear, facing the window. Just a branch being blown in the wind. Toadette sighed in relief. She patiently waited for the popcorn to finish. When it was, she dumped the popcorn into a large bowl and proceeded to join the rest of the group. She stopped suddenly.
"Wario's steak..." She grumbled, heading back into the kitchen.
Toadette opened the fridge door and took out a mound of steak. She placed it on a cutting board and went to go fetch a steak knife. She searched absentmindedly for the knife. Toadette frowned as she searched again, this time more seriously. The steak knife was missing.
'But, it had just been here at dinner..' Toadette thought, panic rising within her.
She felt a sudden jolt of pain in her back. Pain was flooded through her body. Toadette slowly looked down at herself. She gasped at what she saw. Protruding from her torso was the tip something sharp. She had found the steak knife.
Another chapter comes to an end. Chapter 3 coming soon:)
