The Monster

Chapter 2

Luigi POV

I ran into the forest near the castle. I couldn't stay there. Its getting worse. The voice in my head laughed at me harshly. Not looking where I was going, I tripped on a rock. The ground was muddy, which sort of softened my fall. "Ow...ugh.." I tried to get up but I couldn't move. I looked up and froze. He was standing there. His eyes bore into me, and his mouth curved into an evil grin, his sharp teeth sticking out slightly. His hat, black and green, hung from his hand, the backwards "L" staring at me. He took a step forward. "Look at you, Luigi..." Grinning, he knelt down and put his hand under my chin, lifting my head. "Such a shame..really.." I tried to move, but he tightened his grip. "No, no, no..." He looked me in the eyes. If we were to stand next to each other, you'd have thought we were the same person. But we're not. I'm nothing like Mr.L. "Either you give in or..." Yanking my head to the side, I growled. "No..." I forced myself to stand. "How many times do I have to tell you that I am NOT DOING WHAT YOU SAY?!"

Normal POV

Luigi launched himself at his evil side and they both fell to the ground. "Fool!" Mr.L shoved Luigi hard to the ground, but Luigi quickly got up and once again launched himself at Mr.L. " You are a sick twisted bitch!!" Luigi yelled in between punches. "I will NEVER do what you say!!" Laughing, Mr.L grabbed Luigi and tossed him aside like a worn out piece of clothing. He crashed into a tree. Mr.L grabbed Luigi by his throat and lifted him up. "Now..." He growled. "You will do what I say, or I will kill your pathetic brother and friends my damn self. Got that?" Luigi gasped for air, clawing at his enemy's hand. Mr.L tightened his grip, making Luigi's eyes water. "I'll kill you first, Luigi. And you know that." Luigi shut his eyes tight, holding back tears of pain as he struggled to choke out, "Y-yes..." Mr.L loosened his grip. "Good..." Luigi shuddered as Mr.L let him go, letting him drop to the ground like a stone, but then grabbing him by his hair. "Very good..." Mr.L moved like a light, smirking and then slamming his hand into Luigi's chest. Luigi  gasped as the air quickly and suddenly left his lungs. His pupils dialated and he tried to scream, but he was shocked into silence by the pain. "Ghnnn..." Mr.L yanked his hand from Luigi's chest. In it, was a white ball, glowing like a lantern. "W-what is-" Luigi was surprised he could speak. "This?" Mr.L grinned. "Its your Saint Orb." Luigi, who had slid to the ground in exhaustion, looked up, confused. "My what?" Mr.L put the glowing ball into a jar. "Your Saint Orb. Its the good side of you." Luigi's vision blurred and he put his head in his hands. "What the hell are you talking about?" Mr.L laughed. "Ok." He explained. "A person has all but two sides to them. A God...and a Devil. This little baby right here," He motioned to the jar in his hand. " Is your Godly side. Without it, the balance between good and evil will shift, and all that will be left is your evil side." He spat on the ground. "And that side with do whatever ungodly thing that I tell it to do..." Luigi's pupils shrunk in fear. Mr L grabbed him by the collar. "Anything..." He wrapped his hand around Luigi's neck and squeezed. "N..no..." Luigi was to exhausted and weak to fight. As dark spots danced around his blackening vision, he heard himself plead, his voice sounding far from his body. "Mario...Please come save me..."
