Once it left, I sat with my knees up, my arms on my knees and my head laying on my arms. I couldn't even stop shivering before I had already started to cry. I felt pathetic being locked up in a cage like this.

°A few hours later°

I had red eyes from crying so much. I wiped away the tears as I heard someone in front of the security door.

A creature that looked like the lizard but smaller, without spikes and hair, came up to my cage. I got up and held onto the bars on the back of my cage.

It was carrying something and put it down right in front of my cage, just out of reach for me. I looked and saw it was a plate of what seemed to be food. The creature left the room.

I tried stretching my arms out far enough to reach it, without any luck. Maybe it was for the best, in case that lizard tried to poison me. I just sat back down and looked down at my legs. "Mario.. I hope you are doing better than I am." I quietly spoke to myself.

All I could think about that night was my brother. I'm hoping he was alright. I hadn't realised how long I was lost in thoughts for, but it was long enough for the mini lizard (regular koopa, not bowser jr.) to return with another plate.

It looked at the plate already laying there and then at me. It was confused, but just put the plate down and picked the other up. It left the room with the other plate.

I could still not reach the food that they had made for me.

It went on like this for I think 2 days, I hadn't eaten a single thing since I got here. My sleeping problems weren't helpful either.

I noticed the mini lizard returned again. It left with the old plate yet again. I just looked hopelessly at the food but tried reaching it again. As always, my arms were just a little too short. I heard loud stomping in front of the security door.

The big lizard, I think his name was Bowser? Entered the room, looking furiously at me. "Why have you not eaten a single thing since you got here!?" He yelled. I was shaking, but once I collected myself again, I showed him I couldn't reach the plate.

Bowser looked down, picked up the plate, and threw it on the ground in front of me. "You hadn't realised your cage moved? Idiot." I looked at the plate as he left the room again. I'm glad he didn't touch the glass of water they kept giving me. I got up and moved the cage a little so I could reach the water. It was better than nothing.

The next day, I ate normally again, satisfied that Bowser told me the cage moved. Yet I still didn't feel well. I decided to sit down after the dinner meal and immediately close my eyes.

°Yet again, a few hours later°

I woke up to noises outside of the room, the urge to just yell, "SHUT UP" kept growing. But I stayed quiet, and eventually, the doors opened again. I looked at who it was and saw a mini version of Bowser walking towards me.

"The hell have you done to deserve this cage? It's the worst one we have. Dad never even used it before." He said. I looked at him, "I- I haven't really done anything too, b-bad.." he looked at me like he didn't believe me. "My dad wouldn't lock someone innocent up in a cage like this. Tell me what you did, or I will tell dad you hurt me!"

At this point, I had realised Bowser was his dad. "I can tell you all I remember i-if that answers it." He looked at me happily and sat down, ready for the story.

"W-well.. me and my brother, Mario -" he didn't let me finish my sentence before he already interrupted, "Mario!? The red one who's after my dad's obsession?"

I looked at him a little confused, "He does wear red, yes, but what do you mean with 'after my dad's obsession'?"

"You don't know yet? My dad is OBSESSED with the princess from the mushroom kingdom. Ever since your brother landed there, dad's been in a bad mood, especially when I tried to ask him about it." He answered.

I stared at him a little confused but decided to drop it, "I'll continue the story. My brother Mario and I split up by the pipes, I landed here, and I guess he landed at the Mushroom kingdom. I got up, got chased, hid in a creepy mansion, and then got kidnapped. That's all I could've done wrong."

The kid looked at me like I was crazy, "Well then you're probably locked up like this because your brother is after his obsession. But that doesn't seem enough of a reason to keep you in the worst cage. What else have you done?"

I looked down at him, trying to think of what it could've been. "Well, when I got dragged into the room with his throne in it. I zoned out for a while. Maybe I had ignored him on accident." I told the kid.

"Still seems stupid, but I'll stop asking you so much. You're shaking as if I'm gonna kill you."

"S-sorry kiddo, you just look a lot like your dad."

He looked me up and down before walking away.

The end of chapter 1!
