Chapter 2:The Mansion have eyes(Or Ears)
Night has fallen on the trees,dead trees stood with the wind moving the branches,the crows hawked,and the leaves blew across the breeze.Chris and Leon walked along the trail to the mansion.
"Huh,strange place for a 'Beautiful' mansion to be in."Leon scoffed.
"Hey,she won a mansion,"Chris said"So let her have her life as a mellionaire."
"I just got two questions.One,why didn't we bring our guns,two,how can the mansion be here?"
"Because whatever this mansion is,we may not need our guns.Plus,maybe there's a nice green field somewhere around here if we just keep going."
They walked through the dead tree forest,avoiding tripping on roots,logs,and twigs.Leon was lucky to dodge an incoming bats that were flying by.Chris almost trip and broke his leg.Tree branches kept getting in their way so Chris used his knife to cut through the dead branches.Once they got through the forest,Chris looks down on the map.
"According to this map,"He began"The mansion should be right...here."He looks up and sees the mansion all right,except that the mansion looked haunted,the mansion was like 2 or 3 stories high,the only lights that are on were the two that looked like eyes staring down at the two men,the gate was open and creaking when the wind blew passed it,and the flames were burning blue."uuh"
"Oh nice one Chris"Leon mocked"Your sister sure did pick a good place to live.'Beatiful place' my foot"
"Maybe it's a bit nicer if inside Leon."
"Hello,earth to Chris Redfield.Look at the place,it's a pile of junk.Who in the right mind would want to live there anyway?Sheesh what is it?1408 or something?"
"Leon,calm down.Let's check out the mansion.If the mansion is too spooky,I'll tell Claire it's a bad idea to come after all."
The men went through the double creaking gates and approach the haunting house cautionly.In the dark rooms through the windows a shadow figure looks at the men and cackles.
Chris and Leon opened the double doors and looks inside the dark and creepy room.They entered and looked around.
"Well,"Chris said"It could use some cleaning up,if I say."
"I don't know,I got a bad vibe about this,Chris."
"All right,all right.LEt's look around the house and see if this is a bit creepy."
Leon nodded and the boys went through the rooms of the house.Chris started with the one on the top of the Foyer and to the left side of the top foyer.He turned the knob and looked inside.He went into a door leading to the reading room with a chair,a fireplace,and a shelf full of books.
"Wow"Chris said to himself"Whoever reads the book sure is a bookworm."He closes the door and goes to a bedroom.There was a mirror table that women used to put make-up on and brush their hair,there was also a bed that looks like it was room for two people to sleep,and there was a drawer next to the bed.He left the room and went to the Nursery room.He knew this was a toddler's bedroom because it had a crib,a rocking horse,teddy bears,and bouncing balls.
"If this is a Nursery room,then maybe a toddler died in here long ago.Poor kid."
Meanwhile,Leon went through the double doors on the bottom of the Foyer,the first room he went to was the laundry room,he can smell the laundry detertion in there.
"Whoever do the laundry can really be a spring cleaner."Leon said to himself.
He went into another room,it was a butler's room,there was nothing there so he left.He found a dining room and looked at the table that was decorated with a white cloth over it with a candle,nice chinese plates,serving plates,and silverare.He went to the kitchen and saw that everything was completely white.He looked in the fridge and to his surprise there was no food,he checked the cabinets,no food.He checked out the backyard and there was a dog house sitting in the corner of the yard.
"And no mutt to shoot at too."
He went back the hallway and looked around.He heard footsteps coming from the hallway to Leon's left side.He thought it could've been Chris so he went on,he heard them and this time there was two different footsteps coming,there were big and tiny ones.Leon shut off his light and leaned against the wall.He heard the door open and can hear voices.
"I can't believe my brother won a mansion like this,it's crazy."Said an italian voice.
"Oh come on,it can't be that bad."Said a squeaky voice.Leon saw the flashlight's light flashing the hallway."Maybe a little cleaning will do."
"Toad there's too much spider webs and dust around,I have a bad feeling this maybe a trick set up for me and my brother."
Leon heard the footsteps coming closer and he slid down a little,only making the two figures in the dark stop.
"Mario,did you hear that?"
"Who's there?!"The flashlight hit Leon's face and Leon shield his eyes.
"Auugh."Leon groaned"It's Leon Kennedy,I used to be a cop at Raccoon City."
"Raccoon city?Wait,don't tell me.You're the Leon that survived the horror?"
"Yes now turn that light away from me."
"Oh sorry."
The light got out of Leon's face and he turned on his,he only hit the light on the floor.He looked up to get a closer look at the two.One was a short guy with blue overalls,red shirt,red cap with a "M" symbol inside the white circle and white gloves.The other one was a short little guy with a blue vest,white mushroom cap with red polka dots.Leon turned his flashlight to his face.
"Oh,so you guys are looking at this mansion too?"Leon asked.
"Yep,"The mustachio guy said"My brother won a mansion here and he told us to meet him here."
"huh,that's funny."
"What?"
"Well,a friend of mine's sister also won this mansion,so that's impossible that two people won a mansion two at a time."
"Maybe it's a draw.Well anyway,since we met,I'm Mario and this here's Toad."
"Hiya!"Toad greeted.Leon was puzzled.
"How can a mini-me sized little guy be named like that,he doesn't look like a frog."
"Hey watch it,buddy!"
"I need to go find Chris,I better tell him it's best if Claire finds another mansion."
Leon jerks on the handle,but it was locked.
"Shoot!We're locked in."He kicks it and has no luck."We're stuck."
Then they heard cackles and laughter coming somewhere in the house.
"Mario,what's happening?"Toad asked,scared.
"Ghosts!"Mario replied.
"Oh great,"Leon said,still trying to get the door open."Now we're dead meat."
Meanwhile,Chris was still checking out the rooms on top of the foyer.He heard the same cackles and laughters too.Then out of nowhere,a floating white puffballs floats next to Chris,shielding his eyes from Chris looking at it.
"What the heck is that thing do-"Then the ghost mad a scary face it knocked Chris on the floor.He groaned and rubbed his head,he looked back up and saw that there were 19 more of them.
"Oh I'm outta here!"He said to himself out loud,he bolted out of the room while the white ghosts followed him.As he ran,the ghosts were like flies.They grabbed him,bit him,and tried to trick him over.Chris knew using his knife wouldn't slow them down.He went through the double doors and heard the ghosts knocked their heads into it.
"Yeah,and you stay there.Stupid ghosts."Chris ran down the stairway and tried to go through the double doors,but they were blocked off by spiky roots on it.
"Oh no,Leon!Can you hear me?!"
Leon struggled the knob until he heard Chris yelling.
"Chris?Is that you?"Leon called out,asking.
"Leon,I can't get to you,there's vines covering the doors."
"Well that tells why we can't escape here.What now?"
"I don't know."
"Leon,is something wrong?"Toad asked.
"Leon!Who's that with you?"
"Mario and Toad,they're here because Mario's brother won this mansion also."
"That's impossible,how can one woman and one man win one mansion?Unless..."Chris knew this was a trap.That's why there's no one here because this was a trap set up for him and Claire."Leon,we should get outta here.Find an exit or something."He heard a shriek of laughter echoing the house.Then a big giant white ghost with fins for hands appeared.He was pale blue with a red crown on his hat,then a bunch of puffball ghosts appeared too.
"Who the heck are you?"Chris asked,eyeing the white puff ghosts.
"I,sir,am King Boo."The ghost name King Boo said.
"Chris,what's going on?"Leon asked,still trying to break he door open.Mario pressed his ear to the door.
"Well,King boo,what do you want from me and my sister?"Chris asked demandly.King Boo chuckled.
"Oh just a couple of people I need for my plan."
"What plan?"
"A plan to get rid of you,Claire,Luigi,and of course...MARIO!!"
MArio gasped at this.Then he heard a gun click.
"Chris,do you got a gun?"Leon asked.
"Yeah,why?"
"Oh no reason,it's just WHEN WE GET OUTTA HERE ALIVE,YOU'RE DEAD!!!"
Chris ignored Leon's threats and tried to shoot the boos,but they resist the bullets.
"I forgot,ghosts can't be hurt by this kind of things."
"Stand back,Leon,"Mario told Leon,backing up."I'm taking this door down."Mario ran with all his speed and knocked the doors down.
"Chris,run!"Chris made a mad dash to the doors.The Boo got mad and raised his arms towards them.
"Seized them!"He roared out,the boos chuckled and cackled as they chased the duo down the halls and to the backyard.Mario hid in the well while the three were screaming and running.Mario got out a sheet of paper and wrote a note like this;
"Luigiandclairewatchoutfortheghosts."
Mario looked back up and saw Chris shooting and running at a same time.Leon and Toad were screaming like little girls while running away from the spooky ghosts.Mario carefully put the note in a birdhouse and made a dash to the door while the other three followed.
"we're dead,we're dead,we'red dead!"Toad cried out.
"Toad,relax!"Leon yelled.
They ran to the halls again and ran to the basement.They hid in a room that had a thermass there.They heard shrieks of laughter rushing passed them.They waited for 10 minutes and relaxed.
"We survived."Leon panted,grinning.
"I'll never go into a haunted house ever again."Toad said.
"I better tell Claire to cancle coming here."Chris went for his cellphone,he tried calling but the connection was cut off."What?You gotta be kidding me.I just paid my rent for it."
"Maybe you hit the wrong one."Mario suggested.
"um...Mario,Chris."Toad shuddered and pointed his finger to the ceiling.The group gasped as they saw the boos again.They attacked them and everything went black.
HAH!!Chris got to meet Mario,sweet!!But now what will happen to them,and what about Claire?How will she know where Chris is?And what about Leon and Toad?You just have to wait for the chapter and find out ;)
