Chapter 7
Mario's eyes widened with fear "Luigi please no." He saw Luigi hesitate before bringing the scalpel up. "D…Do you remember when we were children and we hid in the wardrobe and scared mama?" Mario asked his voice shaky "D…Do you remember when we used to play in central park?" Luigi was shaking to but he had a pained expression on his face. He stood up and so did Mario. "Do you remember when you saved me from the mansion?" Luigi eyes narrowed menacingly "Don't talk about that place." He hissed "Don't you dare talk about it." Mario looked at his brother. "Luigi, please." Luigi's head whipped round and he smiled. With lightning fast reflexes he pinned Mario to the wall. "I wonder what will happen if I draw a smile on your neck with this scalpel. Will you still call out my name? Or will you curse me?" Luigi giggled bringing the scalpel up to his neck. He paused and looked at his brother.
Mario looked into his younger brothers eyes. Eyes that held no mercy. Eyes that were no longer Luigi's. "Or should I rip your lungs out?" Luigi said breaking the silence "And watch you drown. Maybe I should pull out your spine. Will you still call me your brother then?" Mario struggled to think of a way to escape then it hit him he could trick the thing into possessing him, Luigi would be safe and they could seal it away again. Mario looked at his brother with new determination. "Take me instead. Take me the hero." Mario said. Luigi smiled "A willing volunteer. Let me see." Luigi let Mario go and backed off a bit "Your heart is not as pure but it'll do." Luigi suddenly collapsed and Mario felt something slam into him. He sighed and ran over to his brother. "Luigi. Wake up." Luigi only sighed a little. Mario frowned but then started to cough. He picked up his brother and ran back into the physiotherapy room.
"It's in me!" he cried when he got back "It's in me" Gadd's head snapped up and he rushed towards Mario. "Then quick, my boy we have no time to lose. Place your brother over there, we'll start now." He said. Mario nodded and place Luigi down gently. Mario then walked into a circle of candles next to the open box. "Are you ready?" Gadd asked. Mario smiled. "Good I'll begin, this time in English." Gadd cleared his throat and cracked his knuckles. "I command thee to get out, by the power of Gambi. Be cast out foul demon, never come back here to the land of the living again, may you rot in Hyades. By Gambi's divine right I cast you out." Mario's legs buckled and he fell to the floor. "I think it's gone." He said weakly "It's gone." Peach rushed over her arms around Mario. However Gadd was puzzled "It was all too easy." He muttered "It should have been harder I wonder…why?" Gadd looked over at Mario who was hugging Luigi telling him the good news. Then it dawned why give over a host who you had just taken over for a new one? It didn't make sense unless you wanted to pretend you've gone. "Get away from him." Gadd said, when Mario and Peach didn't respond Gadd screamed at them "GET AWAY FROM HIM!" Mario looked round "Why it's over its gone." Gadd shook his head sadly and gently pulled Mario away. "No it's still in there, biding its time we have to act quickly." Mario stood there dumbfounded "But I thought it was over." Gadd smiled and looked at Luigi "No my boy, It's only the beginning."
TO BE CONTINUED IN THE FINAL CHAPTER OF THE POSSESSION….
Authors note to all the fans
Wow thanks for all the support. When I first started this I thought everyone would hate it but now I see the comments it's like cool. There does need to be more horror stories in the Mario section and Professor Layton too for that fact… Anyway Thank you for reading and hopefully I will do the final chapter of the Possession for tomorrow. It would have been done sooner but I went to the Tate gallery. Keep on reading guys.
