It was a lovely morning in the town of Royal Woods, Michigan. The sun began to rise, the birds have begun singing, and people have begun going out and about on their daily chores and jobs. One house, especially, has a family ready to start off their new day.

There is a house in a subdivision on the outskirts of the city, and its notable inhabitants are 11 kids. This is a family called the 'Louds'. To everyone else, this family is chaotic, and out of control. But to the family, this is normal. However, things aren't always what they appear to be; specifically the mother and sisters of the family.

Inside the house, there are several bedrooms in the 2nd story of the house. In the right corner of the hallway, a door opened quietly. Then, a little boy's head peeked out quickly, and his eyes searched the hallways for a brief moment. His name is Lincoln Loud, an 11 year old boy with freckles on his cheeks, and white hair.

Lincoln: All clear.

He silently leaned out of the door and began quietly sneaking out of the room. Then, he looked to his right, and upon seeing the reader, he smiled and waved.

Lincoln*meta-referencing*: Oh hi, didn't expect to see you all here. Well, I've gotta get to the bathroom quickly, because if all 10 of my sisters are awake, then it'll be a nightmare to get to it on time. You see, my family…specifically my mother's side, is not like any family. In addition to having 10 sisters…well, how can I say this without making it quite complicated?

As he began explaining as he walked to the bathroom, he wasn't paying attention to a door near his room opening slightly. Inside the room, a pair of bright green reptilian eyes peered out of the darkness, before looking at Lincoln. It then grew a wide smile, before extending its two canines out, and licking them slightly.

Lincoln soon approached the restroom, before quickly and quietly closing the door. He then looked back towards the reader.

Lincoln*meta-referencing*: Like I said, when all of my sisters are awake, especially in a Saturday morning like THS one, it gets chaotic. You have Lana riding on a pogo stick across the hallways, her twin Lola riding her toy car, and then you have Lisa blowing up the rooftop of the house with her chemicals, my goodness anyone else living here would go insane.

He chuckled as he said so, not paying attention to a black silhouette sneaking up behind him. Upon closing in on him, she extended her arms outwards, wiggling her fingers.

Lincoln*meta-referencing*: But hey, they're still my family, and I love them very much.

He began brushing his teeth, but stopped upon feeling cold fingers on his shoulders. He was then turned around, and was met with 2 long fangs right in his face, followed by a loud hiss. Lincoln screamed in horror for a moment as the fangs blurred towards the neck, feeling two sharp things on his pulse point. Then, he heard laughing.

Voice: Hahahaha, got you.

Lincoln recognized the voice, and sighed with frustration as the attacker pulled her head back; it was one of his sisters, Lynn Loud.

Lincoln: Lynn, you…*sigh*

Lynn just patted his back as her fangs retract.

Lynn: Relax Linc, you know I wouldn't bite you.

Lincoln: I thought you were in your bloodlust!

Lynn just continued laughing.

Lynn: I haven't gone through a bloodlust in over 200 years. So you don't need to worry, bro. Hahahaha, alright. You do your thing now. Hahaha,

Lynn just continued chuckling as she walked away. Lincoln sighed to himself and looked back at the reader.

Lincoln*meta-referencing*: Oh, did I mention that most of my family here are vampires?

After sighing to himself and calming down, he continued,

Lincoln*meta-referencing*: Yeah, my dad and I are the only normal humans in this house. My dad met my mom when they met at a road crossing. As you can imagine, things went normal for the most part. I was 8 when my mother moved into this house with my sisters. Things were mostly fine until…I accidently gave myself a scrape when I was 10.

*Flashback*

10 year old Lincoln was crying as he gripped his leg. There was a scrape on his right leg. 15 year old Luna and the 6 year old twins Lola and Lana were checking to make sure he's alright. Lincoln was looking at Luna, happy that she was trying to comfort him, until he saw Lana and Lola fixing their eyes on his scrape.

Lincoln: Um, Luna? What's happening?

Luna looked at him, a bit confused at what he's talking about, when she saw the twins eyeing his scrape. Then, she saw them licking their lips before extending their fangs. Lincoln widened his eyes and screamed as they gave him a look and hissed at him. Fortunately, Luna stopped them in time. Lincoln backed away into the safety of his father's arms.

*Flashback ended*

Lincoln*meta-referencing*: It took my mother a while to get me and my father to calm down and convince us to not tell anyone about their secrets. *shrugs, and sighs*, Anyways I doubt anyone would believe us. Besides, after they told us about their origins, we felt guilt for them. We don't really like talking about that, though. So, *phew* today's a new day, let's see what we have in store for me.

Lincoln then walked out of the room, ready to begin a brand new day. He could hear the chattering of his parents downstairs, preparing some breakfast for the family.
