This is something that came to me while I was working. Don't judge, though, I got the idea after hearing a song. Please enjoy the first chapter. This is also loosely based from one of the hated episodes, No Such Luck.
Lincoln stared at his family in disbelief as he shook his head, "W…what? You guys…"
"We sold your stuff, Lincoln," his mother interrupted and Lincoln narrowed his eyes, "What's so hard to understand?" Lincoln shook his head before turning and walked out of the house and Lana followed close behind him.
Lincoln kicked a pebble as he walked down the street and hung his head, "Lincoln," he stopped and looked back to see Lana ran up to him, "Where are you going?" Lincoln growled, turned and continued to walk away and Lana followed him, "You know…until you get a new bed, you can stay with me and Lola, I'm sure she won't mind."
"No thanks Lana, I wouldn't want to be the reason one of your pets die in the middle of the night, or god forbid, Lola loses her beauty sleep,"
"Then why don't I stay with you in your room? Offer some comfort until they get you a new bed," Lincoln looked back with narrowed eyes, "Please Lincoln, it's getting late and cold,"
"Then why are you following me?" they stopped and Lincoln glared at his younger sister with narrowed eyes and Lana looked down with tears in her eyes, "Well?"
"Because you're my brother!" she snapped and looked up as tears slid down her cheeks, "We only have one! You have ten sisters who you do anything and everything for and now you're pushing us away!" Lincoln was taken aback as Lana cried and shook her head, "What do I have to do to prove we care for you?"
"I don't know Lana! Can you go back in time and stop yourself from boarding up my room? Or maybe you can stop mom and dad from selling all my stuff! And while you're at it, why don't you knock some sense into me too!" he sighed and shook his head, "I admit, lying to you guys was wrong, I know that, but I only did that to get some alone time, but you guys took it too fair. You made me sleep outside, you've sold all my stuff, you made me feel like an outcast in my own home, like no one cared, all because of a simple lie," Lana bit her lips and shook her head, "C'mon, I'll walk you home and that'll be that,"
"Will you come back?" Lincoln sighed and looked away, "Please Lincoln,"
Lincoln looked down at the messy twin and opened his mouth, ready to speak when they heard someone behind them say, "Actually, you kids aren't going anywhere," they looked back and saw a man in dark clothing approaching them, the moonlight reflecting the barrel of a gun. Lincoln quickly stood in front of Lana and glared at the man, venom behind his eyes, "Just give me your money kiddies and I'll leave you two alone,"
"Yeah right, and I bet that gun is for show and tell," Lincoln narrowed his eyes and looked back slightly at his sister, "Lana, listen to me very carefully. While I'm distracting this guy, I want you to run home and lock the door, do you understand?"
"What, no," Lana frowned and shook her head, "Not without you Lincoln,"
"Lana, stopped being stubborn and just go," Lana's lower lip began to quiver and Lincoln stared at the man in front of them as his fists tightened, "You said so yourself, I have ten sisters who I am willing to do anything for, but you're being stubborn right now and basically calling yourself a liar. I can't fight this bastard and babysit you at the same time," Lana frowned and wrapped her arms around Lincoln's waist and rested her head on his back, "What are you doing!"
"I'm not leaving," Lana choked on the tears that threatened to fall, "We've already abandoned you once, I'm not going to do that again," she violently shook as she cried into Lincoln's back.
Lincoln quickly pushed Lana to the side as the sound of a gunshot echoed in the air and Lincoln fell back with a force. Lana stared in shock as her brother fell to the ground and a pool of blood before forming next to him. She looked up and saw the man running down the street. The pain of tears stinging her eyes, she shook her head and cried out, "Coward!" crawling towards her brother, she began to shake him, "C'mon Lincoln, get up. We need to get home,"
Lincoln moaned and slowly opened his eyes. He looked up at his distraught sister and weakly smirked, "Are you hurt, Lana?"
"What…no, but you need to get…"
"That's good, I was worried that bastard had shot you after shooting me,"
He closed his eyes again and Lana began to cry as she looked around, "Someone! Anyone! We need help! My older brother was shot!" she looked down and began hyperventilating, "Don't worry Lincoln, help will be here soon," she laid her head down on his chest and began crying as the sound of sirens filled the air.
Lana sat on the chair next to the hospital bed Lincoln was lying in, her hat in her hands and tears blurring her vision, "Little girl," she looked up and saw a nurse standing next to her, "Shouldn't you be home? Your parents are probably worried about you,"
"I'm not leaving until I know Lincoln is okay," she looked at her brother's sleeping form and frowned, "He's the only brother I have…I can't leave him like this," the nurse frown before she began checking Lincoln's vitals.
She looked up at Lana and sighed, "You know I was like you once," Lana looked up in confusion and the nurse sighed, "I have three sisters and one brother. We've always got into our fair share of fights growing up, but no matter what, I always wanted to be by my brother's side…especially when he was in the hospital. It got to the point where I snuck out of my house to visit him, even late at night,"
"Um…are you going somewhere with this story?"
"I am, the doctors and nurses got tired of me sneaking in late at night that they allowed me to stay as long as I wanted they even put a cot in the room for me so I can sleep," the nurse looked down and smiled, "I can see you love your brother and you're determined to stay by his side until you know he's safe," Lana frowned and looked away, "I'll get you a cot and blanket and pillow," she looked up and the nurse shook her head, "It'll be safer if you stayed here instead of sending you home," she walked towards the door before looking back and gave a sad smile, "He's going to pull through this, the bullet didn't hit a vital area," Lana nodded and the nurse walked out of the room.
Lana held her brother's hand and fought the tears that threatened to fall, "Did you hear that Lincoln? The nurse said you're going to be fine," she felt Lincoln lightly squeeze her hand and her eyes widened before a small smile formed across her lips, "I must be tired," she shook her head and yawned before crawling into bed next to Lincoln and curled up next to him before falling asleep.
The nurse walked back in, carrying a folded cot, blanket and pillow and spotted Lana lying next to Lincoln, soundly sleeping. She sighed and softly smiled, "Well, I guess I'll just leave you two alone for now," she put the cot, blanket and pillow in the corner of the room before flicking the light off and walked out of the room.
As I said, this is something that came to me at work while a song was playing. This is rated for child abuse, possible self-harm, language and a few other things that will not be mentioned here. Please enjoy he first chapter everyone and please let me know what everyone thinks.
