Drama Loud House Part 2 - A Traumatic Experience
Chapter 1 - The Night at the Pond
Author's Note: This story, like A Severed Bond, make sure to check that story out, is based on a picture by JFMStudios. This time, this one is the picture "Shaken". Be warned, this story might get brutally emotional, as well as terrifying in the coming chapters. You also may see that I make some changes to the story here. There also will be quite a bit of moments where a few characters, including Lucy, may seem OOC, or Out of Character. Just know that it is for the story overall. I don't mean to disrespect any characters of you feel like I'm doing that. Anyway, I hope all of you, as well as JFMStudios likes this. I do not own JFMStudios, the "Shaken" picture, or the Loud House. Now, let's get to the story.
Sometimes, things may not look as scary or as fear inducing when you look at from a distance. It may be looked at as just nothing to worry about.
However, the reality is, when you look as close as you can, you can see the true horror in things. You can see that they are not something to take lightly.
The worse part, however, is WHEN you discover these horrible, terrible things in life. It could be when your an adult at a store, a teenager at a school dance, and sometimes….
You could be just a little kid, boy or girl, doing something you like to do, and you witness a horrible thing in life, that you just can't seem to forget about it. No matter how hard you try.
This is one of those stories.
It was going on night time in Royal Woods Michigan. Another great summer day was just about to pass.
One of the many people who was out and about at this time of night, was the 8 year old gothic princess of the Loud family, Lucy Loud, who was in the Royal Woods Cemetary.
She was sitting underneath a decaying oak tree. Writing poem after poem after poem of all the things she found enjoyment in. Spirits, ghosts, vampires, werewolves, the dead, and other things of the supernatural.
"Sigh...death is the best mercy we have on this planet. How beautiful it must be to not suffer anymore." She said as she continued to write in her little book. She did this for a few more hours, until it was getting darker out.
"Sigh...well, friends, I gotta go. I can't miss my vampire TV show." Lucy said as she got her umbrella and book of poems and started walking back home.
She looked at her phone to see what actual time it was. It actually was getting close to her curfew. She needed to get home quick, or her parents would not be to happy with her. The usual route she took was about 9 blocks from where the Loud House was.
"I guess I'll take a shortcut I know." She said as she headed off into that direction. She would occasionally use this route from time to time. It was a bit of a darker path to take, with all the trees, the stones, and other scary looking objects. Lucy didn't mind though. She loved the dark. And this path here made her feel better in that aspect.
As she went down the route, she passed a murkey looking pond. She passed this all the time whenever she used this route. She sometimes liked to throw rocks in there, as if she was drowning them.
She looked at her phone, and saw she still had a little bit of time to kill, not literally, before she had to be home. So, she started throwing a few into the pond.
The first couple hit the water with a big splash, filling Lucy with joy. She decided to throw one more, and head on home.
However, when she threw the last one, she didn't hear a big splash like the others. No, this one she heard a big thud. Like, the rock hit some surface.
Lucy was confused by this. Was there a piece of land or something in this murky pond?
Suddenly, she noticed the object in the water, started to move. Right toward the land. Right toward her.
Lucy leaned inward to see what was going on. It was so dark, she couldn't tell what it was. It wasn't an animal or something, was it?
She kept leaning forward to get a good glimpse of what it was.
Then, trouble happened. Lucy leaned forward so much, that she lost her balance and fell into the pond.
"MMMMMMMM!MMMMMMMM!" Was the sounds she was making as she was now underneath the water and started flailing. She was freaking out as anyone would if they were unexpectedly put in this situation. She was starting to swim back up to the surface, scared out of her mind, until she saw it.
She wondered what the object in the water was. She thought it was a piece of land, she thought it was a dead animal, she thought a few other things. But she was wrong about all of those things.
What was in this pond….was a human. A DEAD human. A rotting corpse that looked like it's face was stabbed and beaten to death. And it was right in front of Lucy, touching her body. Face to face with her.
Lucy, while still underneath the water, saw this and just started swimming back up as fast as she could. She had seen dead bodies in caskets before. She had seen dead bodies on TV. But, she had NEVER seen a rotting corpse in a pond.
Seeing such a sight, and at such a young age, she freaked out. Now, Lucy was never one to show emotions. She wasn't a complete emotionless person, but her family and friends had rarely ever seen her show emotions.
"AAAAAHHHHHHH!" Lucy screamed as she saw the dead body. She was just screaming and crying in fear at this point. She hightailed it out of the pond, covered in muck and mud and all sorts of other crap, and just ran as fast as she could to her home.
She was still crying as she ran. She just wanted to go home and be with her family. She just wanted to be get away from the horrible sight she just witnessed.
************Loud House*************
"Lucy should be getting back soon, shouldn't she?" Rita asked, sounding slightly worried about her seventh child.
Lynn Sr put his hand on his wife's shoulder. "Trust me honey. Lucy knows how to get here and back. I'm sure everything will be fine." He said.
Them, as if on cue, Rita and Lynn Sr, heard screaming and crying outside.
"What the hell is going on out there? Why are some of these kids screaming?" Lynn Sr asked sounding annoyed.
Then, Rita heard more of the screaming. She started to think about where this screaming was coming from. Most kids were in bed by now.
…..It wasn't Lucy, was it?
Rita walked outside and decided to investigate what that screaming was. And, unfortunately, her suspicions were correct.
It WAS Lucy. Rita saw her daughter running toward her, screaming and crying.
"MOOOOOMMMMMMYYYYY!" Lucy screamed as she made a bee line toward her mother.
Rita, obviously shocked by her daughter's distress, opened up her arms and kneeled down to bring her daughter into them. Lynn Sr saw this too and was surprised by his daughters emotional outburst, as he had never seen this before. This looked really, really bad.
Lucy kept running as fast as she could, until she finally was in the safety of her mother's arms. When she was there, she just broke down and started crying her little eyes out.
Rita's mother instincts kicked in immideatly. "Oh, Lucy. It's okay. It's okay baby. Your okay now. Your safe." She said trying to sooth her daughter's crying. She rubbed her head, even though it was now covered in muck. Her shirt was covered in it as well, but she couldn't care less at this point about that. The only thing that mattered was why Lucy was looking so terrified.
Lynn Sr's father intincts also kicked in now too. "Lucy, honey, what happened. And why are you covered in muck?" He asked, obviously sounding concerned for his little girls well being.
"Sweetie, what happened? Who did this to you?" Rita asked, now looking on the verge of tears.
By now, all of Lucy's siblings had woken up. They wanted to see what all the noise was.
"What the heck is going on? I'm trying to get my beauty sleep." Lola whined.
"Yeah, what the literal heck is going on?" Lori asked.
However, when they looked downstairs and saw the state that Lucy was in, there annoyance turned to concern for their sister.
Lincoln, being the good big brother that he is, instantly rushed down and went to comfort Lucy.
"Lucy, what happened? Are you okay?" He asked as all ten other siblings came down to see what happened.
Lucy was just shaking and crying in fear over what had just happened.
"Sweetie, just tell us what happened." Lynn Sr said sounding scared out of his mind for his daughter.
Lucy, with as much strength as she possibly could, mustered up the courage to say what happened.
"T-There's a D-Dead *sob* body. Over *sob* by the pond." She took a little bit to cry. "I fell in the pond, and saw it." She told her family as she broke down again and cried in her mother's arms.
The Loud family was horror struck when they heard what Lucy said. A dead body? In a pond? And Lucy, the poor girl, saw it?
There was no reason to NOT believe her. They knew about the shortcut Lucy would take whenever she got done with her visits to the Cemetery.
"Lynn, honey, call the police." Rita said as she held Lucy in her arms still.
"I'm on it." Lynn Sr said as he went to the phone.
The Loud siblings just looked at Lucy with sadness and tears in their eyes. They had NEVER seen Lucy like this. EVER.
They couldn't begin to imagine what horror Lucy endured. Normally, they thought Lucy would be overjoyed to see a dead body, seeing as how she was a stereotypical goth. But, she was still just a little 8 year old girl. And seeing something like this would easily scar them for the rest of their life.
The rest of the Loud Siblings joined their mother in trying to comfort their distraught sister. Though, they knew deep down that this was nowhere NEAR enough to help her. Cause, they knew that Lucy would have to talk about what just happened to a police officer very soon. It's one thing to see something like this happen, but to talk about it as well? That was going to be even worse.
Lucy's roommate, Lynn Jr, looked into Lucy's tear infested face, and just saw how much terror she endured in one night. She felt responsible. She was her big sister. She should've been the one to see it, not her. What did Lucy do to deserve this?
She thought so many things as her and everybody else just comforted Lucy as best as they could for the time being.
