_Mario's POV_

I groped in darkness, looking for light switches that will hopefully illuminate the room. I had no success. The light from the flashlight began to flicker. I furrowed my brow.

I gotta find the light switch soon. My flashlight is going to give out any moment soon.

I finally found the switch and turned it on. As soon as I did, I heard shuffling of feet down the hallway. Fear gripped me as I frankly looked for a place to hide.

I found a closet just right behind me. I stepped in and shut the door as a female voice was heard.

I know you are in here, don't hide from me~

What was that? I thought. I wanted to take a peek so badly, but I restraint myself.

I don't know who or what that is, but I better stay in here until she disappear.

After about a minute, nothing was heard. I decided to step out of the closet. To my relief, the entity was gone.

Phew, so it is true that this place is haunted. I'd better be careful from now on. I don't want to get myself killed.

Just as I was thinking, I heard a music in the distance. Curious, I decided to follow.

I turned into a room, sure enough. An oddly looking music box was atop a table. I walked closer, inspected it and decided to take it with me.

I wonder what is this music box doing in such a creepy place. Oh well. The melody is pretty, I might as well have that than dead silence.

I wandered around some more and found a library.

This would be the best place for an investigator to go! I thought excitedly.

I looked around and see a section labeled "Angel, Demon, and Spirits". I went to that section. It might be better if I didn't glance around. Because on top of a table was a picture of me with the word "kill" marked all over it in red.

This is not funny. Who would do such a thing?

I made my way to the section. Somehow I felt I'm not alone in the room. I turned around instinctively, and saw no one behind me. I began read through some of the books, and it occurred to me that what I have in my hand is important. I read some more. And then I spotted a journal laying on the dust covered table. Intrigued, I picked it up and skimmed through it.

One section caught my eye, and before I know it, my head began to spin.

_Third person's POV_

Mario gripped his head, pain began washing over his body. He struggled some more, then he stopped.

I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you! He repeated. He dropped the journal as he made his way down the dark hall.

_Luigi's POV_

I arrived at the mansion, out of breath. I gasped when I reached the doorway. Somebody forced the door open, a broken bar was found near by.

Oh no. Mario must've gotten here before me. I need to go find him!

I ran into the darkness. Not knowing this was the beginning of our nightmare.
