The possession

Chapter 4

"This box is old, really old. I'd say it was made when Princess peach's great grandmother was on the throne." Goombella said examining Luigi's box. She looked at the lid and the carvings on it. "It was made to hold a spirit or trickster. Who ever made this, did not want it to get out. These carvings have old spells on them; full of hate and evil." Mario sighed heavily, his thoughts going back to his brother. "Mario I would get rid of it or at least take it to professor Gadd, he'd know more about it." Goombella finished "He's back tomorrow." Mario smiled at her as he gently took the box. "Its fine thanks for your help Goombella." With a wave he exited the university class room and went outside. He took a deep breath, he knew Luigi was going to hate him for it but he was going to get rid of it.

He chucked the box in a ditch next to an old oak tree. Luigi would never find again.

When he back to the castle he found peach sitting outside she ran up to Mario. "It's Luigi! He's tearing up the castle trying to find a box." Mario paled as suddenly the door slammed pen and Luigi stood there. "What did you do with it?" He said quietly "Where is it?" Mario stood in front of peach and looked his brother in the eye. "I chucked it away Luigi. It's gone." With a cry like a wondered animal went for Mario. Mario ducked and pushed his brother away. Suddenly a force slapped Mario hard. He stumbled back; only to see his brother run off. "Luigi!" he yelled.

The younger brother ran into the night. He had to find it. How dare Mario take it. He stopped as he started to cough. He looked up and saw it. An old oak tree. He walked to the trunk and bent down. He could feel it. The box was near. Calling him. His hands reached out and felt the wooden box beneath the leaves. He picked it up and looked at it. Your…heart…is…special…luigi…

Suddenly moths bust open from the box and flew around Luigi and the box. He trembled slightly as he opened his mouth and they flew in.

Mario ran with peach, through the fields calling for Luigi. He knew where Luigi could've gone but that was impossible. Until he saw the figure on the ground. Unconscious. Sighing he picked him up and took him back to the castle.

Mario sat on Luigi's bed in his room. "Luigi wake up. Please wake up." Mario went to brush the hair from his brother's eyes when he was suddenly hurled back into the wall. "What the." Mario muttered confused. He heard Peach run up the stairs. "Are you ok?" She asked looking from Luigi to Mario. Mario stood up "Yeah." He said "Look I need to see Professor Gadd. Can you look after Luigi again for a while?" Peach gave a small smile and offered her hand to him. "Of course." She answered to him.

It was raining when Professor Gadd opened the door to Mario. He was having a nice day until his eyes fell on the box under Mario's arm. "Mario I think we need a chat about that." He said gravely. Mario looked at him sadly and nodded. Gadd ushered him in and closed the door.
