Characters: Luigi Dixie Yoshi Peach Goombella Diddy Wario Birdo

The five in the foyer were glad Birdo managed to get out and head to the police. Hope was starting to shine on them.

"Come on...let's go back to the dining room." Peach said.

The five slowly moved their way across the hallway, down to where the dining room was, until they noticed something.

"TOADETTE!" Wario shrieked as he noticed Toadette laying on the floor with blood all over her clothes.

"What the hell happened!" Diddy yelled.

"There was a trap...an axe was held by some sort of string to the ceiling and tied to the walls and Toadette ran across it and..." Goombella stopped, because she didn't want to say anymore.

"God damnit!" Luigi yelled in rage. "How the hell are we suppose to prevent these deaths with stupid traps like this all over the place?"

"I don't know but, we should all just stay in one place. That way no one could get killed, well, not get killed easily of course." Wario said.

"Ugh...hey, where is Birdo at...?" Yoshi asked, hoping she wasn't dead.

"Oh, we were about to tell you that! On the upside of all this, Birdo used a Boo mushroom and managed to get out of the mansion. Luigi gave her the keys to his car and she's now currently on her way to the police station." Dixie explained.

Yoshi and Goombella smiled. "Good. I'm glad she's alright. I'm glad she's saving the day." Yoshi said.

"Well, that's assuming she's not the killer of course." Goombella added.

"Way to ruin the moment, Goombella." Wario snarled.

"Oh, shut up." Goombella said back.

"Right then...well...I'm really tired...I don't know if I can stay awake much longer...I think I'll go to bed..." Peach said softly.

"What? How can you go to bed at a time like this? Plus, what if the killer sneaks up on you while you're sleeping?" Yoshi said with worry.

"Well, someone can watch me then...Yoshi? Goombella? You guys don't mind, do you?" Peach asked.

"Ugh...alright, I guess. What will you guys be doing?" Goombella said.

"We'll just stay in the dining room." Dixie quickly answered.

"Hopefully we'll be okay..." Luigi said to himself.

An hour later, there was silence among the house. Total silence.

In Peach's room, Peach was sound asleep while Yoshi and Goombella were just barely awake.

"So, who do you think the murderer is?" Goombella suddenly spoke.

"I don't know, all I know is that whoever it is, I'll make sure they are dead." Yoshi said.

"Oh...hmm...what do you think is happening to Birdo?" She asked again.

"Well, I'm HOPING that she's still fine and she's on her way back with the police. That way we can finally get out and no one else has to be killed, and hopefully the murderer will be caught." Yoshi answered.

"That's exactly what I'm thinking. But wait, how far is the police station from here? It's not that far, is it?" Goombella asked.

"Well the police station is on the far end of the city...which is exactly opposite from here so yeah, it's far." Yoshi replied.

TO BIRDO:

"God freaking damnit! I knew I shouldn't have made that left turn! Now I have no idea where the hell I'm going!" Birdo yelled in frustration.

Driving down the incredibly dark road, none of the surroundings looked familiar to her.

Suddenly, the van stopped immediately which scared the hell out of Birdo. It was like the tires got stuck in to a muddy ditch.

"Nooooo! You've gotta be kidding me!" Birdo screamed as she floored the gas pedal as much as she could but the van wouldn't move at all.

"AAAAHHHH! Damnit damnit damnit!" Birdo repeatedly screamed. She then stared at the road in front of her. It was complete darkness, and she could not see a single thing.

"Damn...now what am I suppose to do?"

TO THE MANSION:

In Peach's room, everyone was asleep because of how tremendously tired they were, even though Goombella or Yoshi was suppose to stay awake and watch Peach.

Another hour passed by, it was 4 in the morning.

In the dining room, everyone was sleeping as well. Because of this, they would have no clue if someone were to "do something".

Diddy then woke up.

"Huh...? Oh, I'm still alive! Yay! Wait...what am I talking about? Ugh..." He said to himself as he noticed everyone lying on the floor still sleeping.

"Oh man...we shouldn't be asleep! You guys, get up, get up!" Diddy shouted quickly and shook Dixie.

"WHAT! WHAT HAPPENED!" Dixie shrieked.

"Nothing! We all just fell asleep, when we should be awake just in case something happens!" Diddy yelled in panic.

"Yeah thanks a lot Diddy, I just had the most comforting dream ever, and you just HAD to ruin it. Thank you!" Wario said sarcastically.

"Oh my god, get over it." Diddy quickly said and walked over to Luigi. "Luigi, get up! We all need to stay awake!"

Diddy shook Luigi, but he still wouldn't get up.

"Come on! This isn't funny! Please get up!" Diddy yelled again, heavily worried. He then kicked him over and saw a huge vertical hole cut in to Luigi's chest, all the way down to his stomache.

"OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOD!" Diddy screamed.

Wario and Dixie ran over to he was and saw yet another body that added to the bodycount.

"No...this is all our fault...if we just stayed awake this would have never happened." Dixie said softly, with watery eyes.
