Chapter 7
I suddenly jumped after hearing a loud crackling noise. It came from the window but my nerves calmed down slightly when I realized that the window was open and it was storming outside. I felt refreshed enough to get up and close it.
"Sure is a nasty outside," I murmured remembering my time in my mansion when it was still overrun by ghosts. There was also a lightening storm that cut off the power of the entire mansion; similar to right now. The entire castle was pitch black, I guess the storm cut out the electricity.
"I need some water." I exited the room and much to my dismay found the interior of the castle just as eerily dark as my room, with the occasional light coming from every periodic lightening bolt. I was starting to become freaked out, but at least I am not alone in the castle. If I were to scream to due me being paranoid as usual, then I know someone would come to my aid. I especially hope it would be Daisy. She would gracefully strode to me side and comfort me in her embrace, I would then whisk her away to my, or her room, bridal style (because secretly, I like to carry her that way), and then we would fall in a wonderful sleep in each others' arms. How terrific would that be?
Whoa, I suddenly found myself in the kitchen; I must have daydreamed my way here. I rubbed my head sheepishly, feeling embarrassed- at least it helped me calm my nerves from the storm. I started feeling my way for the cupboard. I did and as I felt around for a cup...I heard another loud crackling noise! Why is everybody leaving the windows open tonight? I hurriedly rushed to the window to close it, but at that moment- what are the odds of me getting struck by lightening, inside a building? It actually did not feel that bad at all, probably because I have electric powers myself, I even felt a little lighter and...Happier for some reason, like all my anger and hate to flowed right out of me in one swoop. But I froze in terror when I heard something, or rather someone...
"Nighty-night Luigi." Then I could see nothing no more, it all turned black for me. And then...I do not know what happened next.
The sudden crashing of glass breaking on the floor awoke Daisy. Unlike Luigi, she was a lot more braver and curious so she literally jumped out of her bed and ran out the door- prepared for anything that was wrong. Her heart melted and she felt relief when she just saw Luigi's figure in the dark.
"Hi honey, everything alright?"
No response.
"Luigi, everything okay," her voice starting to crack with concern.
Out of nowhere, Luigi shot a devastating bolt of fire and electricity straight for her. Daisy was quick enough to form a small crystal shield on her wrist to block the attack. When the smoke cleared from the impact, she caught Luigi running out the huge, double front doors of the castle. Daisy gritted her teeth in pursuit, feeling both really very angry and betrayal.
Despite the poring rain and stray lightening bolts, Daisy remained outside and gave a death a cold death stare at Luigi. "You better tell me, why the h*** you attacked me."
Luigi just stood there, motionless, in which agitated her even more.
"What is the matter with you," she yelled at the top of her lungs, "What did I ever do to you? I thought you loved me!"
"Me? Ha, you make me laugh," Luigi finally spoke, "Why would I ever love a hard-headed girl like you?"
Daisy felt her heart being torn to hundreds of pieces, then by the thousand, then by the millions, and finally broken so much that they broke into dust and just flowed away into nothing-ness. She started to tear up, "If that's how you really feel," she crystallized her hands, "Then I won't feel any remorse beating the living crud out of you!" Daisy, with a face full of tears and a broken heart, blindly ran at Luigi.
Luigi chuckled, "Stupid girl." He charged his hand with electricity, "Really stupid."
When Daisy felt the pressure of concentrated electricity and the light reflected off Luigi, she was hit with realization and felt more than just pain, she felt guilty for what she had done.
The first thing I heard when I came to was the sound of a scream. A scream of pain. Daisy's scream of pain. It came from outside and that is where I headed with all the speed I could muster. But it was all too late, he got her; and they were gone. Daisy was gone out of my life, I failed her. And it was all his fault.
Mr. L.
I did the only I could do at this point: cry. Just simply cry, everything that I worked so hard to protect- it was for nothing. Without Daisy, Mario, or Peach I had nothing anymore. Well, there is Toadsworth and the rest of the toads, plus the Kooplings, Kammy, and Kamek over in the Darklands. But let's face it, the only reason I became the new hero for the Mushroom Kingdom was because that is what was expected of me, I became a hero because Mario believed I can, I became a hero because Peach sacrificed herself so that I can, I became a hero for Daisy. Probably the most driving factor for me becoming a hero was because of her. I love her and I wanted to be strong enough to protect from anything. Now look at what happened. Mario and Peach are still dead and Daisy is somewhere in the world. I know Mr. L is no killer, but he wants me dead and he will use Daisy as bait to lure me to him.
I got up and wiped the tears from my eyes the best I could.
Looks like I am going to fall for the bait.
The storm passed for some reason and in the distance I could see probably something glowing. Curiosity got the better of me as I decided to take a look.
I only wished my curiosity did not get the better of me. That glowing came from my house.
Scratch that, my now burnt-to-crisp house.
All those good memories of everything that happened under this roof? All those items that I held closely to my heart? All those fond memories of Mario I had left?
Gone. All of it. Gone.
And the worse part is, I know how has done this. A piece of dry paper was my only clue:
This is only the beginning Luigi. I will make you suffer just like you did to me. And then, I will come for you- and dance on your grave as well as your brothers'.
-Bowser
I crunched the paper in my hand. Mr. L and Bowser, two big problems in my life.
And they pushed me too far this time.
If it is a war they want, it is a war they will get.
Things heat up now!
In case if you are wondering, Mr. L's entity is now separate from Luigi's. He has his own body to parade with now.
Ciao!
