Shadow of a Stranger:

Chapter 10: Deadly Clues

"These Words Describe Us!" Mario exclaimed.

"What?" Junior asked bewildered.

"The word Conceited was erased when Birdo died. The word described her. And Hungry describes DK, Old for Toadsworth, Kind for Boo, and Destructive must be Bowser." Mario said.

"But Bowser has changed!" Peach said.

"Mama's right! Daddy's been good!" Junior said. "That must be old."

"Then maybe someone planned this!" Luigi suggested.

"Maybe…" Mario said. "But, that watch wasn't there until Birdo died so it had to be a clue placed there by the killer."

"There must've been clues at each place of death." Waluigi said. "If so, everybody search the stairs again for a clue."

"Wait!" Peach said. "If that's a list and the clues point to the next death I'd be surprised if you'd find the word describing me everywhere."

"She's right, The Killer's tried to kill her like 2 times." Toadette said.

"Maybe he can change the order!" Mario said.

"If so, we'll have to find a way to find out who's really going to be next?" Wario said.

"Let's try to figure out who is what word on the list." Mario said looking at it. "Peachy, Wimpy, Sweet, Hot Head, Brave, Scared, Glutton, Liar, Lively, Hyper, Calm, Strange, and Young."

"I could be Young!" Junior yelled.

"Daisy is hot head!" Luigi said laughing inside.

"Wario could be Glutton!" Waluigi suggested

"Waluigi could be Liar!" Wario said eying Waluigi.

"Peachy is Peach!" Toadette said.

Mario wrote down what people said.

"Peachy- Peach, Wimpy, Sweet, Hot head- Daisy, Brave-" Mario stopped. "That has to be me! Scared, Glutton- Wario, Liar- Waluigi, Lively, Hyper, Calm, Strange, and Young- Junior."

"So the list is wimpy, sweet, scared, lively, hyper, calm, and strange." Peach remembered. "And the people left are Yoshi, Dry Bones, Toad, Toadette, Luigi, Diddy, and Dixie."

"Diddy is usually hyper and Dixie is usually calm." Toad said.

"Luigi is scared!" Mario said chuckling.

"Yoshi is usually lively." Dry Bones said.

"So wimpy, sweet, and scared." Peach said thinking. "Dry Bones, Toad, and Toadette."

"Toadette is sweet and Toad, No offense, is wimpy." Luigi said.

"That means Dry Bones is Strange!" Peach said filling in the blank.

"Hey!" Dry Bones called.

"So the list is Peachy- Peach, Wimpy- Toad, Sweet- Toadette, Hot headed- Daisy, Brave- Mario, Scared- Luigi, Glutton- Wario, Liar-Waluigi, Lively- Yoshi, Hyper- Diddy, Calm- Dixie, Strange- Dry Bones, and Young- Junior." Mario recited.

"We need to search for one of these words at the scene." Luigi said. Everyone nodded and headed over to Birdo's body. Yoshi looked up at them.

"What ar-ar-are y-y-you doing?" Yoshi asked them with the tears still in his eyes.

"We need to search for a clue." Luigi said.

"Don't touch her!" Yoshi Demanded.

"But-" Luigi was cut off by Yoshi.

"DON'T TOUCH HER!" Yoshi yelled while stepping in front of Birdo, guarding her.

"Get outta the way!" Wario said while ramming into him. Yoshi looked up at Wario then just ran off crying.

"Yoshi!" Peach called out to him. Then, she ran up the stairs following Yoshi.

"I hope you're happy!" Toadette said to Wario.

Yoshi looked back and saw someone following him. He stopped then ran into the room closest to him. He locked the door behind him. Peach ran up to the door and knocked.

"Yoshi!" Peach called out. "Open up! It's me, Peach!"

"Peach!" Yoshi exclaimed. "She mightunderstand."

Yoshi walked over to the door and opened it. "Peach…" Peach stepped in and closed the door behind them.

"Yoshi," Peach said sympathetically. "I know what you're going through."

"NO YOU DON'T!" Yoshi snapped. "I loved her! She was all I had!"

Yoshi had stopped crying now. Peach looked at him and noticed a gold chain hung down from his clenched fists.

"Yoshi, What's that?" Peach asked.

Yoshi opened his fists and showed Peach a heart shaped locket.

"It's thenecklace Igave to Birdo on our second date." Yoshi said looking at it.

"May I see it?" Peach asked.

"Here…" Yoshi said sticking his hand out. Peach grabbed the locket and looked at it. Peach used her fingers and opened the locket. It was a just a picture of Birdo and Yoshi.

"What's that?" Peach said pointing to a small hole in the picture. Yoshi looked at it.

"I don't know." Yoshi said. Peach thought for a moment then turned it upside down and shook it. The picture fell out.

"What are you doing?" Yoshi exclaimed. Peach ignored him and looked at back of the picture. Peach was shocked at what she saw.

"Oh No!" Peach said dropping the locket and racing to the door. Yoshi caught the locket and looked inside.

"Glutton…" Yoshi said reading the word on the back of the picture.

Peach turned the knob of the door but it didn't move. It was locked from the outside.

"We're locked in!" Peach said.

"The killer doesn't want us to tell the others!" Yoshi exclaimed.

"We have to get out or else Wario's doomed!" Peach said.

Mario tapped his foot. "They're taking way to long!"

"Let's just split up and search!" Waluigi said.

"Toad, Toadette, Diddy, and Dixie stay here and wait for Peach and Yoshi. Mario and I will check the kitchen. Junior and Dry Bones will search around the door that goes into the basement." Luigi said handing out jobs. "Wario and Waluigi, check the bathroom."

Everyone split up and headed towards the place they were supposed to go.

Wario and Waluigi stopped at the bathroom Peach was kidnapped in. They both headed in but Wario stopped Waluigi.

"I've got to go, so go!" Wario said slamming the door in Waluigi's face.

Waluigi waited for a while and was happy when heard a flush and the water running.

Wario hummed a little tune while washing his hands. When he was finished he tried to turn the knob but it wouldn't stop. Then, the pipe closed all of a sudden and the water started over filling.

"Oh no! What am I going to-" Wario was cut off by a hand grabbing his head and forcing it into the water.

Minutes later, Waluigi wondered what was taking Wario so long. He walked over to the door and pushed it open and screamed at what he saw.
