Sorry I haven't updated in awhile! This is what happens when I decide I can write without a schedule. To make up for it, I am going to try making another story alongside this one. It will be about the koopalings- starring Larry. Basically it will be like the movie scary godmother if you ever saw it. It was aired around Halloween on the family channel.
I love that moment when you just wake up and have no idea what's going on in the world. Everything is peaceful. There are no problems, like a princess claiming to be your mother.
I had the weirdest dream that peach got us to go to the doctors and had a blood test done to prove I was her daughter. It was one of the weirdest dreams I had since I came here.
I could feel a hand brushing over my head. I relaxed and cuddled into one of my pillows that I was hugging. I slowly opened my eyes to see who it was. Princess peach looked down at me. She was sitting at the edge of my bed.
"Looks like someone finally decided to wake up." She said shyly.
"What are you doing in my room?" I asked, pushing myself up so that I was sitting. The world was still a little dizzy for me.
"Don't you remember what happened yesterday? You have been out for quite awhile now." She told me.
Then I remembered my dream. It really happened?
"You mean when we were at the hospital?" I questioned. She nodded.
"How could I be your daughter? My family would have told me by now, and I have had blood work done before so they would have noticed." I reasoned.
"All I know is that I left you at a hospital with a doctor right after giving birth to you. I don't know why your parents wouldn't tell you." She said still surprisingly calm.
"Why did you give me away?"
"I didn't want to. I did it for your own good. It was dangerous times here. It still sort of is." She said to me.
"So… do I have any sisters or brothers?" I asked.
"No you were the only child I had." She answered.
"Just wondering, is Mario my father?" even though I knew she must have had some sort of relationship with him at some time I still was not positive.
"No, he is not. Your father was prince Haru of the flower kingdom." She told me.
"Was?" I said shocked. Did she mean…
"Yes, was. He died a little while after you were born. More like murdered actually." She said. Her calm demeanor was slowly turning angry.
"Oh I am sorry. What was he like?" I said trying to keep her calm.
"He was truly amazing. He not only was a great ruler but a fine swordsman as well. He also dabbled in magic as well before the… unfortunate happened."
"Do you know who killed him?" I asked.
"Yes I do. It's the miserable koopa that kidnapped us." She said angrily.
"Bowser? How did this all start?"
"The story begins around the time me and Haru were engaged. All three of our kingdoms were friendly with each other. You could actually say that me and bowser were actually friends back then. I was around your age when it all happened. One day I went to visit bowser and his wife clawdia. They already had a few kids by then."
"Clawdia? Was she-"
"The koopalings mother? Yes she was. I will tell you what happens to her as the story continues. Any who I went to visit bowser and found him in his bedchambers clearly upset. When I asked him what was wrong he said he found out clawdia was cheating on him with another man."
"Who?" I asked.
"He did not tell me and I respected his decision not to." She told me. "He stayed with her though. He still loved her and thought that it would be better for his kids. She never did stop cheating on him though. They eventually had the others but I am getting ahead of myself. I would visit him more often to make sure he was okay. He eventually fell in love with me. I told him that I was in love with my fiancé but that awful koopa started kidnapping me! Your father was an excellent fighter though and rescued me every time. Unfortunately he started to get very ill. He had no energy, started losing his strength and could not sleep at all. He often complained of nightmares." She told me.
"Nightmares?" I asked.
"Yes, apparently they were very bad. Why?" she asked me.
"Oh, probably nothing." I said. I had no idea whether or not to tell her. She gave me a strange look before continuing.
"Eventually it came to a point he alone could not rescue me. He decided to enlist the help of Mario and luigi, who at the time were just plumbers in a place called Brooklyn."
"How did they get here anyway?" I asked.
"Haru knew some magic that he learned from his teacher at the time. It takes a lot of things to make sure it works."
"Teacher? Was there a magic school?" I questioned.
"No. one of the priestess in his kingdom took him under her wing as her student. Even though he was a quick learner the only times it worked was when we got Mario and luigi and when we sent you to the other world." She explained.
"So does that mean I could get back to the other world?"
"The only ones I know of who know how to do it were Haru and his teacher."
"Then how did I get here?" I asked.
"Sometimes portals will open in the worlds. That's how me and Haru got here." She said.
"Wait, prince Haru is human? Why doesn't anyone mention him?"
"It's not good to speak of the dead like they are living." she told me.
"Ok then. Maybe we can go to the flower kingdom and get his teacher to help us." I said hopefully.
"We can't" she said, getting up and looking out the window.
"You see, after we had you and sent you to the other world for your own protection from king bowser your father was murdered by him. It was a horrible sight." She sighed, wiping a few tears that began to drop down her face.
"I walked into our bed chambers to check in on him and found him lying there in a pool of his own blood. A large gash going down his chest. Bowser didn't even deny it. After his death the flower kingdom shut down. It still to this day has no leader. I am still not allowed in. every kingdom is banned."
"Why would you not be allowed in? You didn't kill him." I said, standing up. She then turned to me.
"I know. Ever since that day the kingdoms have had no real communication. We basically are at war with each other. One thing that really set the dark kingdom off was the day clawdia died."
"How did she die?" I asked. I was beginning to sound like a toddler asking so many questions.
"It was just like any other day. I was captured waiting for Mario to come rescue me which he took up since Haru died. Clawdia accidently got in the way and Mario by accident…killed her. He was really upset afterwards since it was basically a mutual agreement that we never attack anyone who doesn't attack us. After that is when me and Mario fell in love."
"Oh so that's why the koopalings hate Mario so much." I said to myself.
"I don't know why you talk of them so highly. They captured both of us and are children of that horrible man. They are beasts." She said switching back to bitch mode.
"They have been nothing but nice to me. I am not defending what bowser did but there are two sides to every story. And what about his kids? Your story had nothing involving them anyway." I argued.
"I highly doubt that the koopas are anything but mean and evil. His side of the story is plain and simple. He fell for me and since he is evil decided to capture me. He got jealous of Haru and killed him! How can you not react to any of this!" she screamed.
"I... am so confused." I whispered.
Just then Wendy walked in.
"I hope you are not stressing poor Cass out. We don't need her passing out again." Wendy smirked.
"Haven't you heard of knocking?" peach said snarly.
"Yea but it's my castle, not yours. And it is also Cass's room, not yours. So what are you still doing here?" Wendy said grinning.
"Cass is my daughter I am allowed to spend time with her. It's what mothers do. Of course, you wouldn't know about that."
I was shocked that peach would stoop that low. I looked over at Wendy. She looked very angry.
"PREPARE TO DIE BITCH!" she screamed. As Wendy charged at her I grabbed her from behind and tried to hold her back. Peach ran to the other side of the room scared.
"Wendy, no!" I said. I tried to think of something I could say to get her off. "Don't ruin your amazing nails by getting blood soaked on them, she's not worth it!"
Peach looked sort of shocked. Wendy began to calm down. Peach took this time to walk out of the room, nose stuck up in the air.
"I am so sorry for your tragedy." She said sitting on my bed.
"What?" I replied. Did she hear about my father and being sent away to the other world?
"You know, having a bitch like princess peach for a mom."
"Oh. Well she is my birth mother. And I think she just has had a bad experience that makes her that way." I said.
"No reason to act like a bitch. So how did you get to the other world anyway?" she asked.
I told her about how princess peach sent me away because she thought something bad would happen if bowser found out. I felt the other stuff she didn't really need to hear. Unlike me she sat through the whole thing without any questions.
"Well trust me you don't have to worry about bowser. You're like family to us. Personally I think we are closer than you could ever be with peach. I can't believe she is a mother. She must be really old!" she laughed.
I giggled at her statement. I was really in thought. I left some parts out of the story, but if she didn't know some parts about her mother and wanted to know then I would tell her. Unlike my mom I would not hold back such information.
I must have been quiet because she then said "what's wrong Cass?"
"Wendy, I know this is a sensitive topic but could you tell me about your mother?"
Her face grew dark. "I must have been around the age of 4. Bowser Jr was just a newborn. I didn't know why my dad kept capturing peach. I thought it was just because we didn't like them so we took their ruler. I now know that dad was in love with her. I feel so bad for mom. She probably didn't know either." She said sadly.
This really got me upset. Should I tell her what peach told me? peach might have lied. Or bowser might have lied to her. And how are you suppose to tell a girl her mother was not faithful to her dad? It seemed like something that maybe I shouldn't go deep into.
"Anyway Ludwig, Roy, lemmy and Iggy were old enough to try and fight off Mario. As you could tell they were not that good as they were now. Iggy was still fighting alongside dad. One night when Mario came to rescue his princess he came across my mom. He claims that he didn't do it on purpose but I know better. He wanted revenge."
"Wanted revenge for what?" I asked her.
"He wanted revenge for king dad killing…" she started off.
"For killing my dad." I finished for her.
"I wasn't sure which one was your dad." She admitted. "Around the time you were conceived was the time Mario came around. At least for what I heard. I could actually see peach cheating on him with Mario. I mean it was quite obvious that she was in love with Mario when she first saw him. Bad move Haru." She said.
I felt horrible. Partly because of what she said. The other part was that she didn't know it was switched around. Or at least from what peach said.
"Look I just need to say this." I said. I could hear the nervousness in my voice. Wendy looked at me. She looked confused.
"O-Kay?"
"When peach was here, she told me many things. One of the things she told me was that when they were all friends she found bowser in his bed chambers, clearly upset. She said that he said that he found out clawdia was cheating on him." I said.
It was silent. "What?" she asked in disbelief.
"That's what peach told me. Only bowser and her would know the truth if he really said that."
"Well she is lying! No way had my mother cheated on my dad! Where is she?" she said yelling. She started to get up and head to the door. It looked like she was holding in tears and her legs were wobbling. She took three steps before falling on the ground crying.
I ran up and stuck my arms around her. "Sh-shes telling the truth…isn't she? I c-can't believe…"
"It might and it might not be true. Maybe there is a missing part to this story." I said.
She looked up at me, sadness was in her eyes. She moved and I took my hands back. She sat down. "You know Cass, you are like the sister I never had."
"Well you are like the sister I always wanted." She looked at me confused. "I never had the relationship with my sister that I would have liked too."
She smiled at me. Then we both got up on our feet. "Wow that was way longer then I planned to be here. I need to go." She said heading to the door.
"Why where did you need to go?" I asked.
"Morton's back. He returned with a broken arm. Too bad it wasn't his jaw. Ah well it's not like I have to listen to him anyway, it's my turn." She told me.
"Oh I guess I really did keep you waiting. How long until you have to leave?"
"I was suppose to at the time I came in here. I planned to be late anyway. Want to come wish me goodbye?" she said.
"Sure." I said. "Just let me get ready."
