Disclaimer: I don't own The Loud House or any of their characters

Dawn in a graveyard

A small figure is running in the road of a graveyard, tombstones looking like sad faces and dead trees are everything she can see in her run, she falls but know that she shouldn't stop running so she doesn't and goes at full speed again, the sense of time is tortuous until she is able to see a family of eleven member counting the baby in the arms of one of the middle figures, if possible she runs even faster in order to be with them

In a small distance the little girl is able to hear some words

The older sister of the family – I literally hate coming here

The man – Come on Lori, we have to visit from time to time

The shorthaired brunet of the older girls – We know dad, but it's still hard.

The running girl – Lori, Dad, Luna wait!

The blonde with dark glasses in her head – Like it's harder to have a positive thinking coming here

The girl with brackets – Yeah, as shacking as… I'm sorry!

The woman – Don't worry dear, we know you didn't mean

The still approaching girl – Leni, Luan, mom wait for me!

One of the two tweens – Come on Lana, stop… stop sobbing… (sob)

The other – We… (snif) we won't be able to talk with each other, how… (sob) how do you want me to stop

The smallest brunet – According to the experience and time passed that is nearly impossible

The family suddenly stops letting the snores of the baby and the heavy steps of the girl be the only sounds for some seconds

The girl before falling down in front of the family – Lola, Lana, Lisa! Agh!

The girl standing up – Am I dead? That's why you aren't responding?

The middle girl with black exercise clothes – What do you mean Lucy? We had to come because you had to accept that reality

When ending that sentence the last girl points towards a gravestone decorated with a gargoyle holing a rose above the used dirt

The incredulous girl Lucy approaches to see what is in the epitaph: "Here lays Lincoln Loud, son, brother and friend, his soul may rest in piece"

Lucy – No! It's not true! Tell me this is not true!

Lori – Sorry

Lucy – Luan this have to be a sick joke!

Luan – I wish so too

The girl in dark sporty garments – You have to accept the truth!

Lucy – I refuse!

Someone – But…

Lucy – This can't be happening, he is alive Lincoln is alive!

The middle girl goes and graves Lucy from the shoulders – You have to wake up Lucy! This is real!

Lucy – No Lynn, this has to be a nightmare!

Lynn – You have to wake up! Wake up Lucy! You are having a nightmare wake up!

When Lucy heard the last words she had a better look to her surroundings noticing that she was not longer in a place for dead to rest but at her own half dark half sporty room with Lynn shaking her at her side

Lynn – Are you awake now?

Lucy – Yes… what time is it?

Lynn – two in the morning, we have school in six hours

Lucy – I see

Lynn – Are you okay Luce? I heard you screaming Lincoln again and again!

Lucy – Yes, just a bad dream that's all.

Lynn – Okay… I won't push harder but don't scare me like that

Lucy – No promises

Lynn – Right, I forgot to whom I am talking, I'll hit the sack see ya later Luce

Lucy stays in her bed for a while not moving, then she goes to the kitchen there she take a glass of water and goes up zorbing it a little, when reaching the upper floor she sees her shared room for a while

Lucy – It… may be too dark

The girl close the door and looks to the door at the end of the floor

Morning, a white haired boy sleeps soundly in his bed, wrapped in his sheets, while his alarm clock turns slowly to the exact hour that would trigger the continuous beeping. When the beeping began the boy open his eyes slowly and begin to move in order to turn out the sound that kept him awake, at that moment he realize that something is in his body, the boy with some caution looks to his own body to see a faceless dark haired figure hugging him in his bed.

Lincoln – Aaaahhhh!

The scream could have been enough to wake up the dead scared from their graves, but the small girl acted as if the boy's scream was just an annoying sound as the alarm that wasn't turn down.

Lucy – oh, morning Lincoln.

Lincoln – Lucy! What the heck? Do you want to scare me to death or what?

Lucy stayed just there froze for a while after hearing the boy, not knowing what to do but when she felt tears about to move to her face she just moved out of the bed and ran outside walking towards the door in the other ending "Hey Lucy!" is the only sentence she could hear before locking herself in the room, the bathroom.

The little girl stayed there looking at the mirror looking how tears were falling from her face, she wiped out those with her arm before looking at her mirror again

Lucy – It was just a dream, a horrible dream, it could mean anything as far as I know, he… he won't die, Lincoln won't…

Knock knock

Lincoln – Lucy… is everything all right?

Lucy – Yes.

Lincoln – Well… the thing is… Lynn said something about seeing you crying and… well you worried everyone.

Lucy (whispering) – …sorry…

Lincoln – They also think that… I did something to you… could you…

In that moment the bathroom door opens, but nobody gets in

Lincoln – May I come in?

Lucy – Please.

Lincoln goes inside

Lucy – close the door.

Lincoln – Okay…

Lucy – Sorry for worrying you and making you look responsible of my conduct.

Lincoln – Lucy?

Lucy – What?

Lincoln – Are you really okay?

Lucy – Yes.

Lincoln – Well the thing is… you are… looking paler than normal.

Lucy – I just woke up of a bad dream, usually my nightmares make me fell inspired but this one was… especially deadly.

Lincoln – Right… Well, if that's really all, could you tell our sisters that nothing really happened?

Lucy – Yes

In front of Lincoln's room, the older sister is very irritated while the brunets and one of the twins looks like having fun of some kind

Lincoln – Guys, I told you it's nothing here is Lucy.

Lucy – Sorry I made a wrong impression, my inner darkness just made me act irrationally, as the rest of the world.

Lori – See? I told you it's not that, now everybody get ready or I'm going to leave you all behind!

After that Lucy gets inside her room while Lynn is outside talking with Luna and Luan, the small girl brings out an Ouija from under her bed

Lucy – I have to be strong… uff… Any spirit from beyond the grave, I have a question to make, come here please and answer my plea, is my dream trying to tell me something?

The pointer escapes Lucy's hands and begins moving to the yes answer

Lucy – You aren't grandma

The pointer moves towards no

Lucy – Right I said any spirit… are you to help me?

The pointer moves to yes again

Lucy – Is my dream… prophetic?

The pointer just jump landing to yes again

Lucy – What can I do for that to not happen?

The pointer moves to the different letters now

Lucy – S-T-A-Y-W-I-T-H-H-I-M, "Stay with him"?

The pointer goes to yes again

Lucy – Anything more I should know

The pointer goes again to spell a message

Lucy – B-E-W-A-R-E-S-H-A-R-P-O-B-J-E-C-T-S "Beware sharp objects"

The pointer moves to the yes place again

Lucy – Okay, a last question, who are you?

The pointer spell another message

Lucy – Z-A-K "Zak" No wait you are a spirit so it means…

Lynn – Come on Luce! You will get the cold water

Lucy – Dang it! Anyway, thank you I'll see you latter

At school

Lucy is sneaking to Lincoln class hiding from everybody

Mrs. Jonson – Now I know you will do a superb job with your posters, oh, and be careful with the scissors

Everybody – Yes Mrs. Jonson

Lincoln and Clyde are working until in the middle of the work they realize they don't have scissors

Lincoln – Clyde, did you take the scissors?

Clyde – Was about to ask you the same Linc

Lincoln – this is weird, anyway we need to hurry up

Clyde – Without the scissors? I don't think somebody would let us borrow theirs

Lincoln – Let's use the rule's edge, it's a little archaic but will work

Clyde – Okay…

A little later

Clyde – So if we glue this in the poster, everything will look good… mmm… what's the matter Lincoln?

Lincoln – I don't know Clyde, I have this feeling like… somebody is watching me.

Clyde – Well, I'm doing that right now.

Lincoln – Not you! Somebody that I can't see, I got that feeling after the recess.

Clyde – Well if you look at that side and I look to this side we could find out if somebody is watching you.

Lincoln – Good idea! Let's do it!

Just at that moment Lucy shows from under the desk but before she could leave something in the table a scream from the teacher is heard which makes Lucy hide again

Lincoln – Did she black out?

Clyde – Wow! What happened?

Taking advantage of the tumult Lucy goes back to her classroom

Latter after school, Lincoln and Clyde are walking towards a comic store

Lincoln – I'm glad somebody doesn't and glad you even stuck up to the comic store plan.

Clyde – That's what friends are for.

The two boys get inside the store then a little figure goes out from a corner behind

Latter before Lincoln get's inside the house Lucy runs to the kitchen's door in the back of the house, from there she goes avoiding Luan who is cooking a pie and get inside the air vent, crawling from there to Lincoln's room where she lands over Lincoln's bed just in time to greet Lincoln

Lincoln – What's her problem?

Lucy – Somebody doesn't know how to deal with dark emotions.

Lincoln – Ahh! Lucy! What are you doing here?

Lucy – Just making sure you are here.

Lincoln – oh, sure?

Lucy – Actually I want to make sure you don't have any sharp objects here.

Lincoln – What? The only sharp thing I have is a pencil sharpener

Lucy – I'm taking this.

Lincoln – …Sure… by the way, Lori is looking for you, she doesn't look very happy.

Lucy – Dang it! Can I stay here until tomorrow?

Lincoln – Well… it's not like me telling you otherwise will make you leave, but can you tell me what's happening? Since this morning you have been acting… well creepier than usual.

Lucy – I told you, I had a bad dream and I'm making sure it doesn't get real.

Lincoln – What? Wait you never told me the second part, did your dream have…

Lori (smashing Lincoln's door as she enters) – Aha! I literally knew it!

Lucy – Lori!

Lori (grabbing Lucy by the wrist) – You and I are taking a little trip Lucy!

Lucy – No! I have to be here!

Lucy tries to get free but Lory use her two hands to drag her

Lori – No, way! Lincoln stay in your room until diner, hopefully this all will be over when we return

Lucy – Let me go!

Lori drags Lucy to the car, not without complains.

Lucy – I have to be in the house!

Lori – No Lucy! You have to come with me

Lori ties Lucy to the passenger's seat and go immediately to the driver's seat

Lori – And I'll make sure all this obsession you have will end

In the road towards the psychologist

Lucy – Don't you have to stop to see if Bobby called you?

Lori – Good try, but I already told Bobby I had something to do and I'll text him when we get there

Lucy – Why are you doing this? You don't know what's happening

Lori – I literally know more than enough, Lincoln's teacher told me you scared her almost to death and you were stalking him, I know you sneaked in his room this morning and surely you asked him if you could stay in his room this night, did I miss something?

Lucy – Yes, the why I…

Lori – Oh, you think I don't know you will tell me that you are protecting him?

Lucy – …

Lori – I saw this happening before and I know how this will end, but not with me knowing! Here we are…

Lori parks the car in her school parking lot, goes down and carries Lucy with her

In the advisor's office

Lori – Here she is… I hope you can help her.

Advisor – She? But… how old are you?

Lucy – Eight

Advisor – Not very talkative and… very dark it seems

Lucy – I don't want to be here, can we end this now?

Lori – He will tell you when this ends, I… I'll wait outside

Lori gets outside the room while the advisor looks with a curious look to Lucy

Advisor – Okay… I know you don't want to be here but I have to ask you, do you know why your sister brought you here?

Lucy – I don't have to answer your questions

Advisor – No, you don't, but if you didn't notice, the lady waiting for you won't let you go unless you do, so… do you know why are you here?

Lucy – Somehow Lori knows I'm scared for my brother

Advisor – Scared? Why?

Lucy – Last night I had a nightmare, one where my brother d… did d…

Advisor – He died

Lucy – (nod) I woke up thanks to Lynn to that nightmare but… it felt very real.

Advisor – I see… and you and your brother are very close each other

Lucy – I wouldn't go that far

Advisor – Could you…

Lucy – He is close to every one of us, but I don't think I'm close for him

Advisor – I see… so losing him would be a tragedy

Lucy – Yes

Advisor – Does he do dangerous things or menace in some way to leave you? I mean your family

Lucy – No, the most dangerous thing he does is helping my sister Lisa with her experiments

Advisor – Then, why would you think this anxiety for loosing him would come to you?

Lucy – I know you think I'm crazy, but I know something will happen to him today if I'm not near him to help him, I just have to be there

Advisor – I see… why are you so sure about today

Lucy – I'm not, but if nothing happens, I'll hear whatever Lori tells me, I'll be glad and stop worrying about mi dreams, but I need to be there!

Advisor – …

Lucy – Please

Advisor – I still have to talk with your sister

Lucy – Thanks

The advisor opens the door to let Lori in

Lori – Are you over?

Lucy tries to run away as Lori get's in but Lori catches her

Lori – I think not…

Advisor – Actually… yes, you might let your sister go

Lori – I prefer it like this

Advisor – Well the thing is… despite her… likings, your sister is pretty normal, just… have you heard about Cassandra of troy?

Lori – Yeah, a girl that could predict the future but with the course that nobody would ever believe her… I get it, thanks for nothing!

Lori walks away carrying Lucy

Lucy – Now I get why Lily doesn't let you carry her that much, where are we going?

Lori – Home, I'll get a real professional tomorrow, and don't think you will be free from me, this night you sleep in my room

Lucy – Another torment to add to my grief… could you hurry up? I want to be there before something happens

In the way to the house

Lori – good thing I didn't have to pay him

Lucy – May be it's you the one that should hear him out

Lori – Don't think so, at least I didn't have to tie you up again

When the girls arrived home suddenly the earth begins to tremble

Lori – Earthquake!

Lucy – Lincoln!

After seeing that everybody but Lincoln were going out by the main door, Lucy runs towards her late entrance, the kitchen's door, inside the house the girl goes to the stairs but before going up she hears something

Lincoln – Somebody! A little help!

Lucy runs to her parent's room and open the door showing a weak Lincoln graving his bleeding arm, then Lucy rips off her own gloves to make them act as a tourniquet and cover the arm

Latter

In a waiting room, the twins are arguing in a soft voice while Lori and Lucy doesn't stop to walk in circles until Lincoln and their parents get out.

Lori – How… I mean… are you okay?

Lincoln (Showing the bandage in his arm) – No problem, the doctor said I was very lucky that Lucy showed up the moment she did, so no real threat here.

Lucy – You make me feel as if I had a heart

Lynn – So, what can you do? You can play and stuff right?

Lisa – Must I bring it to you that a cut of those proportions cannot heal overnight? Even less over one hour!

Mr. Loud – Enough kids, we all are glad this was nothing serious, but we should go to have something to eat and your brother will need a lot of rest, doctor orders.

Lola – But we just want to talk.

Later Lucy and Lynn intercept Lincoln before he is able to close his door

Lucy – Lincoln…

Lincoln – Hi Lucy, Lynn? What…

Lucy – I know it was somehow a problem how I slept in your room, and I…

Lynn – She told me if we should pay you back the favor of the other time and let you sleep in our room for tonight, you need somebody checking your arm after all.

Lincoln – Oh, thanks, but I don't think it will be necessary.

Lynn – Come on Linc. Lucy, I… we won't force you okay, but please! I don't want to feel useless if something happens to you understood?

Lincoln – Fine, I guess…

Lynn – Cool! I'll prepare your sleeping bag!

Lucy – Are you sure you are okay with that?

Lincoln – I am, if it weren't for you who know what would happen with me

Lucy – You would be… would be…

Lucy hugs Lincoln

Lucy – Please don't die!

Lincoln – Lucy?

Lucy – Can I stay like this for a while?

Lincoln – What? Right what happened with your dream, was it me…?

Lucy – Yes… I… I need you, you are the only one that actually hear me, when you said this morning that I was the one that almost…

Lincoln – Sorry Lucy, I didn't know…

Lucy (letting Lincoln go) – No, it's just me being too into dark stuff that couldn't think of another outcome

Lincoln – Right!

Lincoln moves looking if somebody is looking at his room

Lincoln – Good! Nobody is looking… look at this

Lucy – The new princess pony issue, thanks, but I can't read it!

Lincoln – No in the bathroom since the incident, but my room is open for you when you need a break from the darkness, just tell me beforehand and if anybody get in I was reading and forcing you to read a little of it.

Lucy – Don't do this

Lincoln – Why not?

Lucy – You'll make me want to leave the darkness for good…

Latter

Lincoln is sleeping in his sleeping bag, Lynn in her bed and Lucy is sit in hers looking at her Ouija

Lucy – Thanks, I could help him because of you

The pointer suddenly moves with more strength than before

Lucy – Y-O-U-R-E-W-E-L-L-C-O-M-E, "You're welcome" Lincoln will be fine after today, right?

The pointer moves again towards no

Lucy – What can I do? S-T-A-Y-W-I-T-H-H-I-M "Stay with him" understood, last question, what are you to us? D-A-D-S-S-I-B-L-I-N-G "Dad's sibling" I see… thanks for everything please rest in peace… aunt Kaz

Lucy finally put away the Ouija and blows the almost finished candles before finally laying in her bed for a good night unaware of how her sister and roommate is shaking with a petrified face and very open eyes

That's all hope you like the story and I might follow something from here
