Chapter 7- Saving Me

*(Mind you, this is Freesia speaking to you!!)

Alright, so here's how this whole mess started in the first place… Let's go to the whiteboard, shall we?
(A/N: Yes, I'm ACTUALLY MAKING YOU USE YOUR IMAGINATION. OMG so terrifying… Its simple guys just imagine Freesia standing next to a whiteboard with a red and black pen in her hand.)

Alright so here… is… Link.

(A/N: Squiggly, thin picture of Link. Just go along with it and imagine it in your head.)

Now, Link's just gotten a letter from the 'Mansion People' that he's won the contest that he entered and has just received a house that's just over the hill by the Mushroom Kingdom.

That same day Mario (yes this fat guy with the mustache dressed in red), got the same letter because he, too, had entered the contest.

When Mario claims that he's going to go to the mansion to see how it is, Luigi tells him not to go- because we all know that the younger brother is right about his absurd feelings. But if Luigi wasn't such a chicken all the goddamn time, then maybe Mario would've listened. But Mario, thinking that his lil' bro is just being paranoid, went off anyways saying 'yeah, yeah, yeah, don't sweat about it I'll be back by sundown.'

Too bad, the fat, red dressed plumber did not come back.

Now we're back to Link, yes this guy (points at squiggly character holding a sword). Link goes to the Mansion almost immeadiatley when he gets his letter and Zelda, being the wisdomic one in all ways, tells him that she gets a bad feeling if he goes. Link says that he believes that the Mansion is a sign from the goddesses and that they won the contest for the triplets they were going to have. This moron, too, said that he'd be back by sundown.

(Kicks whiteboard aside and chucks away markers) So now you see, this is what happened in the beginning.

Now down to here (pulls down a screen for power point. Freesia's holding a pointing stick up. A picture flips on and now we see a picture of all the Smash people) these people are told that those two morons have gone missing.
They (wanting to save the two morons and be claimed superhero of the day) decided to go into the Mansion to find them, spreading out in their own groups and teams- they, too, never came back out.

The only smart people were five people (imagine their pictures flashing onto the screen as Freesia says their names!)- Princess Peach (who was so tired of having to get saved by men), Princess Zelda (she's pregnant, what do you expect?), Dark Link and Marth (who had supported the idea of getting me in the first place- thank goddesses they did), Ike (who had a tournament on that day anyways), and Roy (who was Ike's opponent).

So now you see how this all adds up.

(Screen goes up, chalkboard rolls into view. Freesia now holds a piece of chalk.) So now it's the seven of us- but counting the little mutants that came along with us that would be… the twelve of us. And we go into the mansion.

So far, we've found nothing except for two people.

We've found Ness and released the demon that possessed him and we've found the weak little brother Luigi. Who, after telling us two hours of his tale from beginning to end, admitted that his sissiness is the reason why we're all here today.

*(End of this conversation- on to the actual story!!!)

~Freesia~

~*In the mansion… Now*~

Ness awoke from his resting after a long walk and he almost wet his pants in Marth's arms.

I wouldn't blame him; this place is so creepy…

"What's happened? Where am I?" questioned Ness.

"It's alright, Ness. It's me, Marth," Marth responded in a soft voice.

"Marth? What the bloody hell are you doing here?"

"We came here looking for you and the rest of the Smashers," reported Marth. He then launched into out side of the story.

"Let's all just swap stories why don't we?" sighed Ike in bitter sarcasm.

"Listen, Ike," began Vulga, "we all know you don't like this place. But we don't like it either, so you might as well just get used to--- oh, now what?"

Evangeline had stopped, holding the candelabra high as a gust of wind blew softly past us. Evangeline, going by instinct, turned out the light and there, pacing back and forth, was a ghost.

His hair was thin and his face was long. This ghost held a candle beside him and he wore a fine suit with a coat tail trailing behind him and his eyes were a black color, unseeing, yet seeing.

"Who is that?" asked Vulga to Hugo.

Hugo's orange eyes closed as he began to speak. "His name is Shivers… He used to be the Butler here…"

"Oh, splendid," I heard Sebastian groan next to me.

I elbowed his ribs lightly. "He's not causing any harm is he? Don't sweat about him."

Evangeline, shrugging it off, relit the candelabra, but Shivers saw it and in panic he ran about, throwing all of us aside by smacking out heads with his candle.

The fiasco made the candelabra burn out and he turned calm once again, his eyes wide.

"No any harm, eh Freesia?" asked Sebastian, holding his head.

Peach sat up and Ike helped her on her feet while I looked for Dark.

I sat up, but didn't see him anywhere.

"Dark?" I called quietly.

I looked to Vulga. "Have you seen Dark?"

Vulga's eyes glowed in the dark and widened slightly.

It soon dawned on me that Dark was no longer with us. My heart tore at the edges and I stood, looking desperately around as Shivers turned down the other hall, letting the candelabra be lit once more. I was about to go down the halls until Marth grabbed my wrist.

"We can't risk losing you too. I'm sure we'll find him somewhere. He's probably lingered off somewhere."

"I'd rather die trying to find him than linger around!" I shouted back at him, tears brimming my eyes.

Peach pulled me into a hug and Marth let go of my wrist, looking to Vulga in an unsure way.

"Caroline, can you see him?" asked Vulga, her voice soft and worried.

Caroline looked up and down and did a full circle- she stopped as she looked down the left hallway. "He's down here… Someone else is with him," Caroline reported. She raised a hand and pointed.

Vulga looked to Evangeline, who spoke calmly to her leader. "Don't worry, Vulga. Romeo's tracks lead there too."

Vulga nodded and we moved down the hallway while I lead the way. I was about to open the door, until Peach screamed. "STOP!" cried out Peach.

We halted in our steps and turned to her.

"What is it?" whispered Ike, his large sword pointed in the opposite direction of us at the end of the group.

"Do you hear that music? Where's it coming from?" asked Peach in fear, her hands pressed against her heart in fear.

"It's coming from the room we're about to go into," said Evangeline in shock.

"No damn surprise there, huh? We're in a house full of ghosts that love to give us heart attacks… What's so new?" asked Luigi in despair.

"Let's find out," I breathed, putting a hand on the knob and pushing the ancient door open.

~Dark~

I was a moron for getting lost. The biggest moron in the history of morons. The whole group was right there, in front of me! And that stupid piano song began to play. Of course, I followed it… The song was so hypnotic… It was beautiful, high-pitched and thrillingly soft and I walked across the hall.
Not so far, right?
I opened the door and slid in, seeing the beautiful girl at the piano play her heart out.

Her dress was old-fashioned and her blonde hair hit the very bottom of the seat in which she sat on. She stopped playing and turned to me, her golden eyes shining in the dim light. "Oh!" she said in a perfect giggle. "I thought you were that old butler Shivers. He never knows when to leave me be. He says that passion was something he wanted to give to me, but no sir I won't marry him! Not if he were the last man on earth!"

It struck me odd when she said that because, obviously, she was dead, but did she know that? I was thinking of telling her until a bad thought crossed my mind. Uh-uh, I told myself, the worst thing you could do is piss someone like a dead pianist off.

The girl tilted her head at me and smiled and I mustered enough courage to say something.

"Why won't you marry him?" I asked, trying to seem conversational.

She leaned in slightly and whispered. "He's a pedophile! If you think about it, he's seventy-two, whereas I'm only twenty-six. Major age difference."

I grinned slightly. "You're absolutely right about that."

The girl sighed. "But alas, my Aunt Lydia and Uncle Neville do not agree. They say 'Melody Pianissima, you are twenty-six years old and need to get married. Why won't you choose anyone?' And I say, 'because I'm a pianist, and I do not meddle with anyone who doesn't speak piano language!' It's quite logical, don't you think?" she asked me.

I blinked and automatically agreed.

"Do you play piano, boy?" she asked suddenly in a light, sugary tone.

I sighed and pretended to feel sad. "Alas, I do not know how to play piano. I do not share the same gift as you do. You are lucky."

Melody laughed in a sickly cute way. "You do not need to have the gift to play! Come, sit by me and I'll show you how to play!"

"No, no," I rejected quickly. "No one has the patience to teach me- I will only look like a ninny to you a-and I fear you will get m-mad at me."

Melody smiled. "Your honesty pleases me, dear one. Tell me… what is your name?"

I shrunk a little inside, but I forced myself to answer. "My name is Dark Link- you may call me Dark, if you wish."

Melody giggled again. "Well Dark, come along and sit beside me! I'll teach you a short song, don't be shy! I promise on my soul that I won't get mad at you!"

I felt despair weigh on my heart as I took the dreaded steps and sat at the piano. She lifted herself off of the seat and floated in the air as she stood by the piano.

"Now, put both hands here," Melody instructed gently, and I did so. "Now, play the first note."

I did.

"See you're already playing!" she giggled. "Now, play a song- go on, any song."

"But I know none, begging your pardon," I told her politely.

Melody smiled again and flew to the other instruments. As she passed by them, they began to play a soft song. "Then let the song teach you how to play. I usually do this occasionally- I even did this to my youngest cousin Sue Pea! But she never came back for her next lesson… I think she fell asleep again. That girl!" huffed Melody, but she laughed and shook her head. "Anyways, concentrate on the music playing, and just get lost into it."

I jumped into the song, but messed up on a chord.

"Just relax, little one. If you relax, the music will sweep you off your feet!" Melody said in a heavenly and wandering tone.

I lowered my shoulders slightly and continued to play, feeling so self-conscious.

But the song chased away the thoughts and I continued playing.I lifted my head only once to see Melody dancing to the music, waving her finger as if she herself was conducting the whole invisible group. She looked graceful when she danced. Her orbish light brought out the stunning, golden color in her eyes and hair as the dress she wore flew about her. I looked back down to the keyboard, watching my hands dance across the keys. I believe that a door even opened, but I didn't care to look in that direction.
The music needed my attention… the music, the music, the music…

I heard the cry of Melody, but I thought it was the cry of joy. I didn't know what I was doing, but I felt the tension in my music grow and grow. I soon realized that I was being put under an enchantment and tried my best to stop- but I couldn't! But suddenly- someone called my name softly.

I stopped, panting and slightly bewildered at how sudden the magic stopped. I turned to face my savior and saw Freesia, her face blank and eyes wide.

"You played that beautifully…" she whispered.

I cupped my hands around her face and pulled her cold lips to my own.

"What was that for?" she asked, eyes widening in innocence.

I smirked. "That was for saving me."

A/N: I know… that was a really bad chapter… Sorry.I'm also sorry if I confused any of you guys... I got a Sprite hangover again... Sprite hangover=massive headaches. XDTh

Dark: This chapter actually wasn't much of a problem for me. I gotta kiss Freesia!

Sebastian: -randomly stares at Edward-

Edward: -randomly stares back-

Freesia: Uhmm… is there going to be a gay love romance thing here?

Marth/Ike/Roy: Is there WHAT!?!?!?!

Me: -CALMLY throws brick at heads- It's not decided yet. It kinda depends on my mood.

Freesia: Oh…

Me: Oh, yeah! Don't forget to R&R for me… please??? I'll give you cookies and brownies and PIE!!!!!
