The Walls That Cried Blood and Screamed Pain

Chapter Seven

As Luigi was tired he decided to stay on the foyer for a moment, he felt that the Professor was lying to him on a certain extent. The pain and sorrow wasn't just because one desired to resurrect an ancient evil, it was mere retaliation but at the same time it was something else, something that Luigi couldn't explain.

He was sitting there on the foyer in one of the old purple chairs, looking at the Toad specter that was standing near the entrance for the backside wing of the manor. The Toad looked sad, almost as if was there being against his will. Luigi tried to speak with him, but it seemed he couldn't heard him, he was just there almost protecting the gate of the next area.

- Hello. Said Luigi, while waving his hands in front of him. Nothing, the Toad was in a state of trance.

For a moment he debated about sucking the Toad in the Pultergust but a prompted message from E. Gadd mentioned that the machine will only work against the portrait ghost only, not within certain specific individuals who turned to be victims of the mansion at a later stage. Luigi was curious with the Toad, as he was just there, no reaction, no nothing.

The professor continued the explanation as he mentioned that the Portrait Ghost had a specific biological pattern that the super vacuum was in tune with, otherwise he wouldn't be able to suck anyone else. Luigi was wondering if the vacuum had some sort of device that would alert the professor in case something negative happened, but he was also he was curious about on why the ghosts suddenly attacked?

He knew the Professor lied but he couldn't precise the reason of his deception. As he was feeling rested, he stood up again next to the Toad that was alone in the foyer. – Excuse me, may I pass to the next area? There was no answer, he tried to open the door but he was sent flying against the ground.

The realization he had was that the Toad wasn't under the control of the mansion but rather he was trying to protect Luigi from something else. As he opened the door in the next area, he heard a dog barking from someplace but what it got his attention was a breeze that came from nowhere. It was a cold feeling, as he felt death passed next to him but he just kept walking.

- Hello! Mario! Where are you!? He shout but he got no reply. It was strange because besides the dog barking he could hear music coming from a direction he couldn't specify, as well some people cheering.

The mansion was truly a strange place, it felt gloomy as time passed, and it was almost as an entity of her own. Out of nowhere, something punched Luigi making him fall on the floor, he realized there was a tiny green ghost behind him laughing and as suddenly he appeared the little rascal vanished. There was some pain in his neck, he stood up and started to chase the ghost.

The ghost stopped on the entrance of a room that wasn't marked. There was a lone ghost sitting in front of a crystal ball. Luigi realized that the ghost that punched lured him to the room, he pulled out his Poltergust and was prepared to fight, he realized that the ghost wasn't as the others, the ghost was sitting there. Suddenly an incorporeal voice came out of nowhere.

- You are looking for your brother and I can give you answers. The ghost stood from her chair and floated in front of Luigi, he fall backwards on the floor again. I am not going to kill you, I am just a person who was trapped in this mess your friend Elvin the professor did and by an indirect cause you and your brother Mario; my name is Madame Clairvoya.

- Is that your real name? The plumber asked.

- No, I can't barely remember who I was before I was alive, the only thing I know is I can always see the future but there is a catch.

- What is it?

- I can only see it for 49 days in advance, it will be precise but I can say it's not happy what is coming ahead.
