_Luigi's POV_

I swallowed. I grew more anxious and scared with each step I take. My teeth chatted with fright.

Mamamia, not this again. I hope this is not another episode of Luigi's Mansion.

I walked further down the hall. Suddenly, I heard a noise behind me. It seemed to be following me.

I slowly turned back around. To my relief, it was only a man.

I took a good look at the man. He was dressed in a yellow suit. He had a pair of glasses on. He also had dirty blond hair.

H...hi. I stuttered. Have you seen my brother?

The red shirt with a red cap who look like you? He asked

Yes, that's him. I replied. Do you know where he is? I'm looking for him. He shouldn't be here.

I have seen your brother. In fact, I even have tried to talk to him. He didn't respond. Is there something wrong?

I told him everything I know. He looked at me thoughtfully. Then he said,

Why don't you come with me? I'm Riba. I'm an investigator who is also trying to solve the mystery of this mansion. I know my way around very well. I think I can help.

Thanks a million! I said. I'm Luigi, and my brother's name is Mario.

The initial on your hat kina explained. He chuckled. It sure is nice to have someone to accompany me. At least for now. We made our way down the hall, looking for my missing brother.

_Third person's POV_

Mario walked into a very strange looking room. He turned around to face the camera. Instead of the usual calming icy blue eyes he has, they are now a chilling, hair rasing green.

I'll kill you. He said, his voice sounded dark and demonic.

He then went to one of the chests and opened it. Inside was all sorts of dangerous weapons. He picked up a sharp knife.

Heh heh, this is perfect. He said with a twisted smile as he ran his hand along the sharp blade. It will be so satisfying to slaughter with this baby. Heh heh heh heh...

_Luigi's POV_

Riba and I chatted for some time, then my flashlight began to flicker.

Oh no, I should've brought extra battery with me. Now we both will stuck in darkness. I said with dispair.

Hold on, wait for me here. Riba said. I know where I can find extra battery.

Wait, you're leaving me here alone, in the dark? I asked in disbelief. Fear came back to me once more.

I'm sorry Luigi. It's for the best. He apologized.

But why can't I come with you? I asked him.

Instead of answering me, he asked,

Are you scared?

N...no! I lied. Okay, you can go alone if you'd like. Just make sure you come back soon.

I Will. I promise. He said as he took off.

I was shaking violently. My knees were giving out from under me.

Why do I have to do this? If Mario never meddle with other people's businesses, then I would never have be here.

But he is my brother. I love him. I will still go after him even though I'm scared.

Thinking about Mario gave me strength. But that was when I heard a blood chilling voice right behind me.

Well, well, well. I thought he'd never leave.

I gasped. Why is that voice sounded so familiar?

I heard the footsteps coming closer toward me. Propelled by fear, I turned around and ran blindly in the dark. The voice called out behind me as I escaped.

I will get you! I WILL KILL YOU! YOU WILL SEE! HA HA HA HA...

I didn't stop until I saw Riba coming toward me with a new flashlight.

Whoa, what just happened Luigi? I thought I told you to stay where you were! You're white as a ghost!

Speaking of which, I think I had ran into one. I exclaimed, out of breath. If I didn't get away sooner, you would probably found me dead!

Oh, sorry. I didn't know. That must've been scary. Riba sympathized. I will bring you along with me next time so it doesn't happen again.

Thanks. I gave him a shaky smile. I calmed down a lot more. I began to think out loud.

That ghost I ran into earlier sounded fairly familiar.

Really? Riba asked, concerned.

Yeah, his voice sounded like... I trailed off, petrified.

Sounded like what? Riba asked, getting annoyed with each second I hesitate.

Come on! We need to hurry! I said with sudden urgency.

You haven't answered my question! That ghost sounded like what? Riba asked again. This time, he looked like he was going to strangle me.

I looked down. Refusing to meet his eyes.

He... sounded... like my... I left the sentence unfinished.

Riba looked at me with with a piteous glance.

I'm sorry. It was all he could manage.

Tears blurred my eyes. I refuse to believe that the brother I loved so much is now gone.

I don't believe that he is dead. I'll believe if I saw his dead corpse myself. I declared, though I didn't entirely believe it.

Let's just move on. Riba said, began walking away. I followed after him with a heavy heart. None of us chatted after that. Both of us lost in our own thought.
