"Olly please stop," I said, running after my brother. "This isn't right." I was desperate to get him to stop. We were in the castle, he was giving orders to his soldiers telling them to gather as many people as they could find and bring them to the dungeon.
"Olly," I said, trying to make him stop.
What?" he snapped at me. "Can't you see I'm busy."
"Can you stop please," I said, knowing that it would have no effect.
"I'm doing this for you Olivia this way you will live in an origami kingdom right beside me."
"Don't, don't do this for me," I said, staring at him. "Please."
"He sighed, "you're too naïve sister, I should have known."
"Know what?"
"That you'll never listen to me."
"Brother..." I started. I didn't know what to say.
"Follow me please." He said. He walked out of the room at a fast pace. I didn't want to follow him, but at the same time I felt like I had to. I sighed and quickly followed him. We stopped in a far room in the dungeon.
"What are we doing here?"
"To do something I should have done a long time ago." he started to peel part of the wall away. I didn't know what to do. I was scared of him. I was scared of my own brother. I tried to run but I couldn't. I felt myself being carried. Closer and closer to the wall. I started to cry. Olly was holding me with his magic. It hurt, it hurt really bad.
"Olly please stop," I said between tears.
"Well then Olivia you should have been a better sister." he pushed me into the wall and closed it up. I couldn't see anything, it was pitch black, but it could still hear my brother's voice from outside.
"I hope you die in there." Then I heard him leave. I started to cry. He was right, I was a terrible sister.
"Olly I'm so sorry," I whispered to no one.
I sat in silence for a few hours. Or what seemed like hours. Then I heard voices. I didn't recognize any of them.
"Can you believe the princess invited us to this event?" one voice said excitedly.
"I know I can't believe it. I wonder where Master Bowser went off to though." said another.
"He's probably saying hi to the princess" said a third.
"Though he never likes to leave us unattended." said the second voice.
"You know I wonder if we'll see-" the first voice started, but was Interrupted by a loud thud.
"Mario," they all yelled.
"Are you here for the festival too?" the first one asked.
"Do you know where Bowser is? It's not like him to leave us here alone."
I heard footsteps.
"Mario!" squealed an excited voice. "You here? First I saw Peach and Now.."
"Wait, you saw Peach?" the second voice said.
"Yeah I think she looked similar but less like life."
"That's because-" a voice who I think is Mario's started. I heard a door open. And the voices of folded soldiers.
"Come with Us."
"Oh boy, are we going to see a Toad? Please tell me we are." the excited voice spoke again. I wanted to yell to the voice and tell them not to go with them. But I couldn't. I've already caused enough damage. Maybe Olly's right, maybe I should just stay here.
"NoT You" so you would be stuck with me
"Aw don't worry Mario I'll say hi to Toad for you." I don't think he's not going to see a Toad.
I heard the door slam shut. And now I'm alone again. Well mostly Mario's in the room with me. He just doesn't know I'm here.
"Who are those shy guys? They look weird." he muttered under his breath. If only there's a way out. I heard his footsteps grow softer. He probably left the room. And I was alone again, this time for real.
After a few minutes I could tell he came back. By the sounds of it he was with someone else too.
"I can't believe this." Mario muttered. "You said there was a secret exit there."
"There is, they were talking about it," the new voice said.
"Don't believe everything you hear, Bowser." Bowers grumbled something. They were moving closer to me.
"What's this?" Mario asked. It's the same symbol as in the other room.
"Maybe this is how we find the secret exit," Bowser said.
"Can you stop with the secret exit?"
"No."
He was close by, I could tell. I heard the sound of a magic circle being activated. Please don't use it please don't use it I repeated in my head over and over again. I knew he needed an origami person to use it. But I couldn't control if I activated it or not. I wasn't strong in magic like Olly.
"What the heck happened to my arms?" He's using the magic circle I could tell.
"Maye the exit is here," Bowser said.
Mario sighed, "let's hope so."
