Brittany's Mansion: The Story
A Snowboard Kids Character Series Adventure

Chapter 3: Jam's Missing

Brittany was now afraid of what had transpired. Jam had just vanished
without a trace and the only lead was the mansion Brittany had won. She
had a feeling of dread about this place ever since she won it.

" Gulp! I guess I'll have to go inside and see if Jam is in there,"
she said to herself.

With her flashlight at hand, Brittany began to walk slowly through the
front garden of the mansion. It was scary no matter what time of day
it was. She used the flashlight to see what was around her. All she
saw was statues that looked absolutely weird and the grass looked
worse than the statues.

" I won this place? It's a disaster area," she said to herself. She
continued to around the front and it was just too weird. The statues
seem to have minds of their own, due to the way they were sculpted. It
gave a feeling of horror.

" Speaking of horror, it's a good thing I brought my pink mini-computer
with me. I can use it to play in case I get bored, or maybe if I
modify it a bit, I can use it to store any info I get in this house,
as well as a convert it into a map of the house and provide me with a
view of a room I might be in."

In other words, she can use it to keep track of her equipment as well
as other functions.

" I just said that."

Anyway, Brittany had searched the entire garden and found no trace of
her brother anywhere. She knew that she had no choice but to go inside
and see if he was there. She walked slowly to the front door, her
breath chilled the cold night air, for she was very afraid of this
whole situation.

" Well, at least the door is well made." She fiddled about with the
doorknob and it was locked. The key had to be somewhere. The girl
Snowboard Kid decided to take another look in the garden for a key.
Her search didn't go too well at first, because she didn't know what
to do. Of course, this was her mansion so she could afford to mess up
the garden a little bit.

" Ah ha! I've found it!" she said happily. The key was buried in a
small patch of dirt, right by the front door. All that searching and
it was this close the whole time. Brittany bent down to pick the key
up, when a cold chill hit her from behind. It didn't do much other
than startle her.

" What was that?" she asked herself.

She looked behind her, and there was nothing there at all. Something
did come by, and yet no one else was in the area.

" This is getting too scary for me. But I have to be brave in order to
find Jam. I just wish that he wasn't inside this house, but somewhere
on the outside." Brittany gathered up his confidence and walked once
again to the door. She inserted the key into the lock and turned it.
It made a loud click to insure success. The door could now be opened.

The only thing that bothered Brittany was who placed that key in the
dirt instead of by the porch where she was standing now? And another
thing that bothered her as well, was that chill she received while
picking the key up. None of it made any sense, and Brittany wasn't
about to start to second-guess her own theories and opinions, no matter
how weird they were....okay, so she did second-guess them.

" Maybe that chill was just the wind, or maybe it was something else."

" Why was the key in the dirt and not on the porch? It could have been
blown away by that chill, or maybe someone else put it there, or
maybe.... Holy cow! All this is too weird for me."

Brittany finally got to her senses and slowly but surely, he opened
the door. As the door opened, she lit her flashlight and poked her head
into the mansion.

" Hello?"

Suspenseful isn't it? The more info I can get about Luigi's Mansion
for Gamecube, the more I can incorporate into the story.
