AN: More horror awaits...OoooOoooOooo XD
Chapter 2
Luigi awoke to the sight of pink everywhere, "Ahhhh! What am I doing in this room?!" He screamed with fright. "Oh yeah, I fell asleep in here after that….happened." He sighed and stood up from the door, "Mario's gonna kill me for acting crazy like that. Time to act as normal as possible today…" Luigi told himself and stepped out into the hallway, and into the kitchen to make some breakfast. In the kitchen, Mario already prepared some breakfast for Luigi. Mario took his plates that were licked clean and put them in the dishwasher.
"Eat up Luigi, your food is going to get cold." Mario said while he gestured for Luigi to take a seat at the table. The table felt very small to Luigi, it can only fit two people at the most. Despite the feel of being crammed in, Luigi ate like a horse who hasn't eaten in two weeks. He took the white tea pot from the table and poured himself some delectable tea in some of the finest china he has ever seen. Once he finished, Mario came over to him and put his hand on Luigi's shoulder.
"Luigi...were going to have guests over in the tea room tonight for dinner, I want you to be on your best behavior, understand?" He warned.
Luigi shrugged Mario's hand off his shoulder, "Come on, Mario! I'm not five years old! I can behave myself. I'm 30 years old for yoshi's sake!" He yelled and stood up from the table.
Mario backed away slightly, "Ok, ok. I get it, all I'm saying is that when they're here I don't want you acting all crazy ok? We have a lot of preparing to do."
Luigi made a small frown, "Ok Mario..."
"Now, I want you to set up the tables in the tea room while I go shopping for groceries." Mario said as he took out a list of groceries from his pocket. "See ya around noon." Mario exclaimed and walked out of the kitchen. Luigi could see him through the window, Mario walked outside with his flashlight, headed towards the store miles away from the mansion.
Luigi clapped his hands together, "Alright! Let's get down to business!" Luigi yelled aloud, and traversed the treacherous halls of the mansion. The tea sets lie in boxes inside the storage room of the attic. Luigi brought his flashlight along and opened the storage room door, prepared for a gust of dust to fly in his direction. "You know, I can't even remember how long its been since I stepped foot in this room, I probably should've brought a respirator mask to protect from the massive dust storm I'm about to intentionally walk into. Well...here goes." Luigi said and held his breath. The door opened with a loud creak and just as Luigi thought, dust was everywhere. He coughed at least a thousand times within seconds of being exposed to all the dust. Luigi forged on, his vision blurred because of the dust that rubbed against his eyes. "Can't I just find these boxes and get out of here?!" Luigi asked the room full of emptiness and dust. He groped around for the right shelf with the boxes. Down low, the boxes he needed were right there, but Luigi searched the top shelf. Unaware of where the boxes actually are, Luigi moved his hands lower and lower, closer and closer to the boxes. Finally, he reached out and groped around the base of the shelf and felt his hand hit cardboard. "Thank God!" Luigi yelled as he took the box and stood up. "Time to finally get out of here!" He said, and headed for the door. He stopped midway, something seemed to be blocking the door. Luigi couldn't make out who or what it was, so he squinted his eyes to hopefully see it clearly. "No….N-no!..." Luigi yelled and backed away slowly, he fell backwards and scooted back to another nearby shelf. He reached back into the shelf and looked for something to throw at it. His hand grasped hold of a rusty old wrench. The wrench flew in the air as Luigi threw it at it, but the wrench didn't hit it. The wrench passed through it. More frightened than ever before, Luigi picked himself off of the floor and walked over to it, but his progress was slow because his legs refused to move. They trembled and shook, they prevented him from being able to see what it was. They were the reason the fear became inevitable. Instead, as if it read Luigi's mind, it slowly traversed the dusty storm. The match between the storm and the strange thing began, but within seconds, the thing already won. It was inches away from luigi's nose.
"Luigi…"
Luigi couldn't move, paralyzed by his own fear, flooded by his own emotions. Soon he would drown in his own fear, his shallow breaths slowed into a forced halt. Words were trapped inside of him, nothing could get out.
"The box...opens and closes. What is inside, remains a secret only the holder will find."
The shadowy figure disappeared, he felt the shadow fade away into the darkness. Sweat dripped from his brow, he quickly wiped it away, "Phew, that was close...what was that? It looked exactly like the shadow thing I saw last night. This is getting freaky." Luigi talked to himself. He always did this when he was shocked or frightened of something. He grabbed ahold of the box on the floor and left the room with haste. The hallways were empty, but worst of all, the hallways made Luigi feel empty inside. The tea room slowly came into his sight. He opened the door and walked in, the white pastel color of the room made him feel somewhat whole again. A puzzle piece still wouldn't fit though. Something felt wrong inside of Luigi, but he just didn't know the reason why. He set the box down on one of the two tables. Each flap opened with ease as Luigi pried the box open to see the tea set inside. Except there wasn't a tea set inside. The severed head of Mario appeared to be inside of the box. Luigi yelped and threw the box in the air. It fell to the floor with a loud noise and then mario's head rolled out of the box. "Mario!" Luigi yelled while he ran towards the head of his beloved brother. He grabbed the head and pulled it close to his torso, "It's still warm…" Luigi muttered. Blood soaked his overalls, but he didn't care. He pulled it away from his torso to get another look. Mario's head disappeared, in its place stood a cracked white teapot with warm tea pouring out the side. "What the? Where's Mario's head?" He asked as he turned his head from side to side. Luigi tugged on his overalls, "When did i get this tea stain? Now I gotta wash my overalls…" He whined and started to pick broken pieces of the teapot and parts of the set. "Oh no, Mario's going to be so mad at me!" Luigi cried, he took the broken pieces and threw them in a nearby cabinet. "Maybe there are extras in these cabinets." He said while he searched the two cabinets on each side of the room for extras. "Thank goodness...there are more. Phew, i would've been dead if there weren't." Luigi said with a sigh of relief. The tables stood there, no table cloths, settings, or tea sets. Basically they were naked. Luigi covered each table with a table cloth and put settings on them. He then placed each tea pot and other china on the tables to make them look exquisite. "All done!" Luigi wiped another drop of sweat off his brow and heard his mushroom phone ring. "Hello?"
"Luigi I'm heading to the front door, is everything ready?" Mario asked, concerned.
"Mario, relax. Everything is ready to go."
"Are you ready, Luigi? I don't want you acting crazy again. I mean it."
"Don't worry Mario, I'll be fine."
"You know, We've been in this mansion for a few months now, the ghosts are gone Luigi. You don't need to be afraid anymore. You have to be fine Luigi, there are no more ghosts." Mario said, a tone of anger in his voice.
"Ok Mario, I'll try my best."
"Good." Mario hung up.
"Mario?" No response. "He must've hung up." Luigi thought. He heard the front door alarm go off on his Gameboy Horror SP, replaced the boo radar with a door alarm for him. "Looks like Mario's home." Luigi muttered to himself and ran downstairs to greet him.
"Luigi, I have the food, I'll set everything up in the tea room. Feel free to relax until the guests come." Mario walked through the hallways and into the tea room. Luigi stood motionless in the foyer. A mirror was covered by a tarp nearby, he grabbed it and pulled it off. Luigi saw himself in the mirror. His eyes couldn't resist the urge to blink, but once Luigi opened his eyes. He didn't see himself in the mirror anymore.
