I was recently going through the old pages of the fan fiction section and discovered Jordzz's Mario And Co: Haunted House story. I remembered loving that fan fic and decided to write my own version of it. I hope you can all enjoy it as much as you did/would Jordzz's version.

Who is the killer??

CHAPTER ONE: THE INVITATION
Luigi stepped through the huge double doors with caution. It was freezing inside the mansion, nearly colder than it had been outside. He also realized that this place was decorated with spooky paintings depicting frightening faces and mangled figures being tortured. Gulping loudly, he pressed on and discovered a large dining room with a long table, which for some reason was already set up with plates and silverware.

There was a booming knock coming from the entrance hall, followed by the eerie creaking of the doors being opened. Luigi peeked back at the figure now standing in the doorway, illuminated by the lightning-struck sky. A blood red creature was leering in the hallway, slowly stepping towards the spot where Luigi now stood.
“Who-who’s th-there?” Luigi stuttered. There was no reply. Suddenly, following the swishing sound of a match being lit, a tiny flame revealed a bright blue eye before being held up to a candle on the wall. Luigi was comforted by his brother’s soothing face.

“So you got the invitation too, eh?” Mario inquired as he sat down on a cushioned chair in the dining room. Luigi nodded. “I see. I wonder where the other guests are.” At that exact moment, they both heard the door crash open in unison with the booming of thunder outside. Mario got up to indentify the new visitor; Luigi stayed put, shivering uncontrollably.

Mario stepped back into the dining room, accompanied by the regal-looking Princess Peach. She propped her parasol up on the side of the table and sat down next to Mario.
“Where is everyone?”
“We don’t know,” Mario replied. “Probably on their way. It’s not too long after eight o’clock right now.”
The three guests decided to explore the rest of the house to pass the time until more people arrived. Luigi was reluctant, but ended up chasing after Mario and Peach when they left him sitting in the dining room alone.

After climbing a tall, winding staircase, the trio opened the first door they saw, which turned out to be a large, tiled bathroom containing a claw-footed bathtub and ornately shaped sinks. The second door revealed a master bedroom with a huge window and a king-sized mattress. The room that followed was a second, smaller bedroom containing a slightly smaller bed and smaller window.

They soon went back downstairs to find a large crowd of people waiting in the dining room. Yoshi and Toad immediately ran up to them and greeted them. Wario and Waluigi seemed to be investigating the gory depictions on the walls while Bowser whispered directions to his son, Bowser Junior (Mario seemed skeptical of this at first, but thought nothing of it soon enough). Donkey Kong emerged from a room which Luigi assumed to be the kitchen, for he had a banana in his hand and was peeling it with excitement. Peach spotted Daisy in the crowd and ran off to socialize while Mario disappeared behind Donkey Kong. Luigi heard a knock at the door and went over to find two people at the door: Shy Guy and Diddy Kong. Shy Guy scurried in silently while Diddy screeched and clapped before heading off to find his gorilla friend.

Luigi opened the kitchen door and saw Mario sitting at the counter, heaving large forkfuls of pasta into his mouth. Mario soon realized he was being watched and wiped his mouth with a napkin, then pulled out a chair for his brother to sit in.
“What’s up, bro?”
“Oh, nothing much, Mario,” Luigi replied. “Don’t you think this whole thing is a little… oh, I dunno… suspicious?”
Mario chuckled. “Well, coming from a plumber with history with ghosts like you, I’m not surprised you’d think that.”
“But that invitation we received!” Luigi protested. “Anonymous! We’ve been sent an anonymous invitation to this creepy old house of horrors where there’s not even a host!” He waited for these words to take their effect on Mario before continuing. “Did you see the paintings? Did you see them, Mario? What kind of sicko hangs paintings of torture devices and demonic faces around his house? The same kind who lures fools like us into his slaughterhouse of a home, that’s who.”
“This is no slaughterhouse, Luigi. Nothing’s even happened yet. Everyone’s fine—“
Just then, a blood curdling scream came from the dining room. Mario and Luigi leapt from their seats and ran out to see what happened, expecting the worst.

EXTRAS:
CHAPTER TWELVE: v2 (by yoshi007)

WOW. Just wow... I'm shocked at how much you've improved it, its fantastic. I cannot wait for more

CHAPTER TWO: DAISY'S DOWNFALL
Mario and Luigi parted the crowd. An angry Daisy was standing near Wario, who was holding one of the creepy portraits.
"Alright, what happened here?" Mario demanded.
"Stupid Wario tried to scare me," Daisy responded. "He was using one of those freakish paintings as a mask."
"I was just having some fun!" Wario pleaded. Grumbling and muttering under their breath, everyone started to walk away from the dining room. Wario, left standing there alone, sighed and tossed the painting onto the floor before heading upstairs.
---
A few hours later, all of the sleeping arrangements had been made. For there was only room for four people on the beds, ten of them were forced to sleep on the floor, Daisy being one of them.

Daisy was tossing and turning under her uncomfortable blanket. She kept turning over her pillow, and eventually abandoned her sheets altogether. Waking up hot and sweaty, she squinted at the grandfather clock on the opposite wall. It was nearly three in the morning.
Ugh, this is terrible, she thought. She looked over at Mario and Peach, sharing a bed a few feet away. Luigi, Shy Guy, Donkey Kong and Diddy were also on the floor, but all sound asleep. I just need a glass of water, she decided as she quietly lifted herself and crept over to the door.

She silently tiptoed down the winding stairs in her yellow nightgown, willing herself not to trip. She eventually found herself at the bottom and made her way to the kitchen.

The first thing she noticed was a half-eaten plate of pasta on the counter. Disregarding Mario's forgetfulness, she approached the sink carefully and filled herself a glass of water, then immediately downed it in one gulp. Setting the glass in the sink, she eyed an object resting behind the faucet that definitely should not have been there: Wario's hat. She lifted it up. Underneath the hat was a dull knife.
What the heck are these doing here? she thought. Ah, well. I'll interrogate Wario in the morning. At that, she left the kitchen and entered the dining room. Something else caught her interest, which was the gory painting Wario had scared her with. She shuddered and turned it over so she wouldn't have to look at it. Then it happened.

Daisy was overcome with pain, it felt as if her head was splitting open. She collapsed on the floor. It took every ounce of her effort to turn her head and find that the painting she had just turned over was face-up again. She screamed bloody murder, hoping someone would come downstairs and help her, but it was too late. That painting was the last thing she saw.

Luigi was at the front of the crowd that was heading downstairs in response to Daisy's scream. He skidded to a halt in the dining room and spotted her unconscious body sprawled upon the floor. Tearing up, he tried to find a heartbeat, a pulse--there was nothing. Her skin was ice cold. Luigi crawled over to the painting that lay on the floor, it almost gave the presence of a seemingly innocent child who had just stolen a cookie.

Mario sat next to the body and dug his face into his hands. Bowser, the indifferent one--he appeared almost kind next to the Wario Bros, who loved the excitement of Daisy's death. Luigi gathered himself and ran to the double doors. He had to escape this place, before someone else died. He would never forgive himself if he lost his dear brother, or Princess Peach. He even despised the thought of Bowser's death on his hands. But the doors wouldn't open. They were locked in, there was no way out. There were no windows on this floor. Luigi panicked.
"There's no way out!" he screamed, his voice cracking. Those not grieving their loss now realized the danger they were in. Luigi counted the people in the room. There was Mario, Peach, Wario, Waluigi, Bowser, Bowser Jr, Yoshi, Toad, Donkey Kong, Diddy, and himself. Someone was missing, though--but who? Luigi counted again. He still came up short. Could the missing person be behind Daisy's death?

WWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fantastic! Can't wait for the next chapter!

Haha thanks. Glad you like it. ^_^

Shy Guy's the missing one.

Damn it! I hate Daisy but I never thought that that was how she'd die.
YAH DAISY GONE!
