AN: Here's an all new horror fic for you guys, and my Wario and the Seven Deadly Jewels fic is officially going to be discontinued until further notice. I'm really sorry about it, I'm just not in a Wario mood at the moment. Anyways, I'd like to give a shoutout to Magikoopa981 for helping me develop this story. Thanks :)

Chapter 1: The Shadows Rise

A few weeks have passed since Luigi took care of all the ghosts in his mansion. The whole endeavor took a whole night, but he managed to make it through. Not without a few inescapable scars though. Both of the Mario bros decided to live in Luigi's new mansion. Mario and Luigi sipped out of their coffee cups inside the study. The fire crackled inside the hearth, the warmth heated the room to a cozy temperature. Mario sipped his coffee yet again, "This mansion is really nice, I mean, there's so much room! We could probably have a party..." Mario told Luigi and set his cup back down.

Luigi lifted his feet up onto the coffee table, "Well, uhhh parties are nice and all Mario, but I don't think anybody should be in this mansion other than ourselves." Luigi's reply made Mario frown.

"Luigi...that ghost incident happened three weeks ago, you need to let it go." Mario said as he leaned closer to Luigi from his recliner chair. "Ok?" He leaned back into his chair.

Luigi let out an abrupt sigh, "I just can't let it go that easily Mario." He whined. Just then, the lights in the study flickered and blew out. "Wah! M-Mario!" Luigi shrieked and jumped up from his chair.

Mario stood up from his chair, "Luigi! It's alright, the power went out again...that's the fifth time this month..." He sighed. "I think it's your turn to go into the breaker room this time."

Luigi shivered in fear and reluctantly replied, "I don't know Mario...I don't think I'm ready."

"You can do it Weegee, I know you can, here, take this flashlight and get down there." Mario said while he handed him the flashlight. Luigi took the flashlight with quivering hands. He quickly fumbled with it to turn it on, the bright beam it emanated gave Luigi a calming relief.

"I guess I'm off Mario..." Luigi said, his voice shaky. He slowly walked out of the study and into the eerie darkness of the hallway. There wasn't much lighting throughout the hallway, this didn't help Luigi's fear at all. Barely able to move at all due to fear, Luigi's progress in the hallway moved like a sloth. Each hallway Luigi passed through made him feel even more paranoid that someone was watching his every move. Now at the door of the breaker room, Luigi's hand slowly gravitated towards the door knob. His fingers grasped the knob and twisted it to the left. The door creaked as it slowly opened, it revealed pitch black darkness. Luigi shined the light into the darkness, its light revealed a few objects in the room. He finally took a step inside the room and closed the door. At first, all was calm, except Luigi of course. He shook like a leaf just standing there with his hand that trembled back and forth. A bright orange ghost showed up out of nowhere in front of Luigi's face. Luigi yelped and crouched down, his eyes were squinted shut with his hands over his green trademark cap. Luigi opened one eye and looked both ways to see if everything was clear. Everything seemed ok, no ghost in sight. Luigi got up from his frightened stance and kept his flashlight on. Luigi's heart slammed against his chest faster than the speed of sound, his hand trembled like an earthquake with a magnitude of 9.0 or higher. Still, he insisted to himself that he would explore more to find the lever for the power. His flashlight's beam flew across the room, it covered several objects with its yellow hue. One object looked like a dusty wooden table near the left side of the room, and about a dozen barrels lied on top of each other near the right side. In the front of the room near the right was a rusty machine with a red lever. "That's it! The power switch!" Luigi shouted while he walked over to the machine. Unfortunately for him, another ghost appeared, this time it was pink and long. The ghost's arms were the size of clubs. Luigi screamed, his hands slapped the sides of his face. He fell backwards and inched away from the ghost. Luigi squinted his eyes closed, he waited for the nightmare to end. Just then, Mario burst through the door to check on Luigi. Luigi opened his eyes and saw that the ghost disappeared.

"What happened?" Mario asked as he ran over to Luigi. Luigi picked picked himself off the ground and looked at Mario with fear in his eyes.

"M-Mario...I saw them. Ghosts. They're still here!" Luigi yelled, his eyes became bloodshot.

Mario gradually moved his hand onto Luigi's shoulder, " You're seeing things..."

"No!" Luigi abruptly pushed Mario's hand off of his shoulder and ran out of the breaker room. He ran and ran, all the way to their bedroom they shared together. It used to be the twin's room, but since they supposedly left the mansion, Mario and Luigi now use it. Although the beds are quite smaller than they are used to, the room is a perfect fit for both of them, well one of them at the moment. Luigi ran inside the room and locked the door behind him. "That's it! I'm going to bed! I'm sick and tired of Mario not believing me! I just wish someone could…" He yelled to himself as he crashed on his bed, which happened to be the bottom bunk. He quickly covered himself in his sheets and tried to fall asleep.

Luigi heard a few knocks on the door, "Luigi! You in there? Its me...Mario." Mario's voice was muffled by the door in his path. Luigi didn't answer him. "Ok, I tried playing Mr. Nice plumber...now it's time to unclog the drain!" Mario yelled as he picked the lock on the door and kicked it open. Luigi sprung up from his bed.

"What's your problem bro?!" He shouted at his older brother.

Mario walked over to his top bunk and climbed up the ladder. He put the comforters over himself and got all situated. "I don't have a problem, I'm just going to bed. I mean, it islate after all." He replied to the infuriated Luigi below.

Luigi climbed into his bed once again, "Well...alright Mario. Good night."

Mario turned to his side, "Good night Luigi."

Mario fell asleep rather quickly, while Luigi was still in his thoughts. He pondered his mind for hours about what happened in the breaker room. "Geez, it really is getting late, 11:59 pm already…" Luigi said while he yawned. Luigi shut his eyes closed, relief swept over him as he calmed down to fall asleep. A minute later, Luigi heard a voice.

"Luigi….Luigi…."

"W-who's there?" Luigi asked, frightened.

"Luigi...Luigi…"

The voice was even louder this time. Luigi sat up on his bed and began to hug his pillow. "This isn't funny! Mario?! That better not be you!" Luigi yelled into the empty room. He checked on the top bunk to see if Mario was still asleep. There he was, sound asleep. "Great...this is really freaking me out."

"Luigi….come here…."

Luigi jumped off his bed and asked, "Where?" He asked, and looked around the room.

"Outside the room…"

"W-well, ok…." Luigi reluctantly replied as he walked over to the door and opened it. He stepped out into the hallway and screamed. A large ghastly creature floated at the end of the hallway. It had red eyes that pierced Luigi's soul, wavy black arms with sharp claws. A ghostly tail waved back and forth.

"The moon rises and falls, but midnight never stalls…"

The creature blew away like the wind, completely disappearing from Luigi's sight. Luigi stood in the hallway, shocked and unable to move.

Mario came out of the door and asked, "What are you doing out here Luigi?! It's past midnight! Go to sleep!" Mario yelled, with his light blue pajamas and night cap on.

"But, Mario...I saw another ghost I swear!" Luigi persisted.

"You're going insane Luigi...I can't believe I have an insane brother! I'm going back to bed…" Mario shouted with anger, the door slammed shut as Mario went back into the room and climbed in his bed. Luigi still stood in the hallway, unable to understand what exactly he saw, and why he saw it.

"Midnight…" Luigi whispered in monotone.

"Yes….midnight….Hahahaha!"

"Ahhhhhhh!" Luigi screamed and ran into what was once the babies room. He locked the door behind him and slid down onto the floor with his back to the door. "At least the pink in this room is comforting...haha…I'm going crazy…." Luigi said with a sigh. Luigi rested his head upon the back of the door and fell into a nice relaxing slumber inside the comfort of the pink room.

AN: Well, hows that for horror? I bet you peed your pants huh? Well….maybe your too old for that XD but I hope I at least gave you some chills down your spine. I am working on two stories at once, so expect some late updates, I'm guessing about a week per chapter. If you haven't read my profile, I recently have been struggling with a deadly case of writer's block, I am trying my best to keep up with my stories. I hope you guys didn't miss me that much :)
