Living a Lie

Chapter: 10

As Mario and Kate walked into the distance, there was a beautiful view from where they were standing. A small Lake reflected the suns light, and the green grass blew delicatly in the wind. Kate questioned herself thinking how she even ended up in a place like this. Mario to to his side only to find dozens of Cherry Blossoms. It was so wonderful, but Mario Kate knew it wouldn't last. Soon the koopa nation would take over, and all that scenery would turn into nothing but rairoads, highways, and gas plants, just like their world. Nothing was a surprise anymore. Mario knew the slightest chance of finding his brother was one in a million, but Mario said to himself, atleast it one more of chance he'd ever have.

For some reason Bowser was sick of Peach, for some reason Bowser kept having more of a connection to Kate. Although it was strange, Peach didn't fear him, and fear was one thing Bowser craved for. He feeded his soul off of it. Now that she was brave, he had no connection. Bowser kept on having thought of Kate on his mind. He tried to shake them off but they kept repeating in his head. Kammy walked beside her lord trying to figure out what was wrong, he was being tortured by something. Kammy raised her staff and tapped into his thoughts. "AAAHHH!! Get out of my head!" He roared. Kammy then returned to her own body and lowered her staff. She simply smiled and giggled. "It seems you have developed feelings for a human. Not such a tough demon are you, when it comes to mortals." Kammy continuoesly laughed. "You should pipe down, or it's back to the snake pit, and no I would not sink so low as to have emotions for useless wench." Bowser simply replied. Kammy corrected his remark. "Ah, but I think you do have that emotion inside you. 80 years ago before this all happened, you wanted Peach to yourself, but Mario wouldn't let you, you never laid a finger on Daisy. If you were truely a cruel demon king, you would have snagged her to from Luigi. Although it only Peach, always Peach, everything Peach. That day you killed her, it was only from frustration of Mario, you wanted to watch him fall. Now that her body has reincarnated, you no longer feel what was, but you feel what will be, not knowing that you are fully entitled to making that same mistake you did 80 years ago." Kammy simply laughed at her conclusion and walked ahead. "If this is so, then why is it old Peach is nothing but woman who walks around?" Bowser questioned her theory. "Ah, but that is where you are wrong, Peach is dead, whether you want to hear it or not, the Peach you know now is Kate. The Peach that walks around this area is nothing but a spirit in a clay body. She has no soul, and with no soul, it prevents fear because she realizes that her time has passed so there is nothing you can do to her anymore. Even if you did tried to lock her up, she knows she is dead, so her spirit is free." Bowser looked in confusion. 'If this is so, I will not take this oppurtunity for grantid like I did selfishly 80 years ago.

Mario and Kate stopped for a rest. They had been walking for the whole day. Mario looked behind him and Kate was gone. Mario began panicing, "Kate where are you?" He heard a splash and walked over to the lake. Kate swam to surface and observed Mario who was watching her. "AAAAAHHHHH PERVERT!!!" She wacked him in the head. "Ow, sorry but you have been kidnapped by a freaky dude and if you get captured by him I may not be able to save you again. Remember?" Mario simply replied. "Well that still gives you no right to look at people when they are bathing!!!!" Mario simply looked away. Kate hid behind a near by rock. She got out of the water hiding from Mario and simply put her pink dress back on. Mario looked back at Kate in relief that she was okay. He kind of fealt ashamed of how he found her safe. Yet atleast it wasn't that creep that found her.

Bowser and Kammy walked to a nearby forest. The place was completely abandoned. They decided that they would rest there. Kammy immediatly went to sleep. Although Bowser was still asking questions. As soon as Kammy laid asleep, Bowser walked away. Not caring that he left his most loyal servant, he went in search to find his so called crush. He hated his mind and wished if only he could be mortal. He shook his head wondering where that thought came from. As Bowser marched on ward he came across to very familiar area's. He walked to the Mushroon Kingdom. The one place he wished he could rule for decades. Although to rule a kingdom in the world he was in, there had to be a Princess and a Queen. If Bowser could somehow make Kate Queen, he could put Wendy as the princess. Bowser grinned at the awful thought and replied in his mind 'guess there is nothing wrong with having a little crush.'

Luigi finally opened both his eyes. When he awoke the clot was gone. Luigi looked to his stomach and noticed that it had been bandaged. Luigi had to put his head back down for he was still too weak to move. Luigi had a very horrible nightmare that previous night. Kate had been captured again and Mario was slottered. All hope was lost and nothing was left but Luigi, and his memories of what once was. Luigi would not let that happen. Despite the pain, Luigi lifted his feet. He began to walk in such pain. Luigi didn't focus on the pain. He thought about Mario, kate, and Daisy. They needed him. Luigi could sense that Mario was looking for him. So Luigi decided that he return the favor and look for Mario as well.

Kate became to exsausted to carry out the mission. Kate collapsed on the grass. Mario looked and smiled. "There is a small shed just a few miles. Let's take a break and carry out the search tomorrow morning." Kate looked at Mario with grief. "I'd like that." She said. They both walked toward the shed. When they approached it, the door had been locked. Mario pounded and booted at the lock. It was no use. They needed a key. "Kate, looks like were going to have to sleep out side. We can't waiste any more of our energy on silly side tracks." Kate knew exactly what Mario was saying and knodded. Mario unpacked his bag that he and Luigi prepared before going into the new world. Mario unfolded Luigi's sleeping bag and handed it over to Peach. She said a polite 'thank you' to be nice. Unaware that another had set out, searching for them. Mario had no idea that Kate would have been much safer in the shed.

As Bowser continued his search, it was getting dark out. Bowser thought that if he could reach them in the dark, it would be perfect. Bowser picked up the sent of Kate's perfume. "This will a piece of cake" He whispered to himself. 'There is absolutely no way that they will get away this time. Bwahaha!"

Kate was constantly rolling in her sleep. She couldn't get comfortable. She woke up and heard something in the tree's. She poked Mario on the shoulder and tried to wake him up. "Go back to sleep Kate, it's only the wind." Mario replied as he rolled over.

Bowser watched the two as they went back to sleep. Bowser could sense that Kate was still awake. He waited for the oppertune moment that she went into her beauty sleep. As she slowly drifted away from her mind, Bowser tip toed down to their location trying not to make a sound in the crab grass. Bowser carefully lifted Kate out of the sleeping bag and left a note which stated 'I have left back to the village. Continue your journy, Kate.' Although Bowser thought that was a brilliant plan he heard sound movements coming from Mario's sleeping bag. He stopped and carefully looked back. Mario his eye and rolled to other side and snored in his sleep. Bowser quickly left with Kate.

As Luigi continued to walk the doctor caught him. "Oh, you should be back in bed, with wounds like that you could kill yourself!" As the doctor tried to pull Luigi, Luigi punched the doctor in the face. "I need to find my brother right now!" Luigi yelled. "Brother, what brother, you have no brother." Just then Luigi noticed something odd about him. Luigi punched the Doctor in the stomach and a three koopa's jumped out. "So this whole thing has been an illusion." Luigi said in an outrage. He killed all three koopa's and headed out to find Mario and Kate.

When Kate woke up, she got an unplesent surpise.
