Night Horror

Chapter 13

Violet kept pacing back and forth. While Elvin was doing a bit of research on Neko's collar, Peach and Tiara were keeping an eye on Neko. Mike and Cappy were chit chatting. Spettro and Neko were resting off the shock. Violet kept an eye on Spettro. Mike looked at his daughter's worried look. As he was about to talk to her, Peach's phone started to ring. Peach picked it up.

She answered, "Daisy? What is it?"

Daisy stated, "We have a problem. A few things have been stolen in the Mushroom Kingdom! A wedding dress, a wedding ring, a wedding cake, and some refreshments."

Peach paled. Did Bowser come back early?

Oh why didn't I accept Mario's proposal in the first place...? At least he's sweet to me...

Violet saw her face and asked, "Peach...? What's wrong?"

Peach sadly reported, "A few things have been stolen. The exact same things Bowser stole, except they are just regular things."

Violet raised an eyebrow, "It can't be Bowser. He was super serious about proposing to you a few weeks ago."

Cappy asked, "So who do you think took it?"

Violet replied, "One guess."

Everyone responded in unison, "Phantom Boo..."

Peach turned to her phone and told Daisy, "I'll call you right back." With that, she hung up on Daisy and turned to Violet. She asked, "What are we going to do?"

Violet thought for a moment. She knew that Phantom Boo would do at nothing to get her. She knew it was a gamble but she had to to get Mario back somehow. At least he could protect the kingdom and Evershade Valley in case she failed.

Hope I don't...

She looked up at them and told them, "I think it might be in our best interest if I surrender."

Everyone breathed, "What?!"

Peach stated, "You can't give up, Violet! Luigi is counting on you!"

Elvin added, "And if this collar gets upgraded, Phantom Boo will be able to control you too!"

Violet paled and explained, "I know and that would be bad. But hear me out. If I surrender, Peach will be able to go back into the hotel without a problem."

Peach waved her hands in front of her, "As much as I want to continue, I think it might be better if I go back to the Mushroom Kingdom. I'm worried about the kingdom."

Tiara replied, "Well I think that's understandable."

Violet frowned, "Then who will take over?"

Everyone was quiet in that moment. Elvin was too old. Cappy and Tiara couldn't hold the Poltergest G-00 up (or if they did, just barely). Peach was worried about the kingdom. There was only one option left.

"I'll go." Mike volunteered.

Everyone looked at him in surprise. Especially Violet.

"You can't!" Violet protested.

Mike told her, "It's our only option honey and you know that."

Violet looked at her dad, a worry look in eye. She didn't want to admit to it, she knew that he was right. She gave him the VB and the Poltegest G-00. Mike slipped the Poltergest G-00 onto his back and put the VB in his pocket. Violet grabbed a dark purple jacket and put it on.

She instructed, "No fancy stuff. If I'm surrender myself, you find Toad and Mario. That's it. I'm pretty sure since Luigi has been causing trouble in the nightmares he's been doing, he's not letting him go anytime soon."
