The Spider Files (Pack 1)

Pov: Lincoln Loud

One thing that bothered me had show up right in my face today…. Tests. A damn science test. One of the shittiest parts of being in High School came to me. Of course, test would happen often, or pop quizzes, but the worst part was a science test. My teacher, Mr. Keaton is so strict that if you admit you didn't study or didn't do your homework it's an automatic detention.

Anyways, it was on matter, material and particles. I always forget the stuff I need to study, and it always comes to me on the most important tests. This one wasn't the final, but I am coming close to the time for finals. My grades have been pretty good so far, my best was in Math Class, being at a 100% or A+. I watched the clock. 5 minutes had passed, leaving 50 minutes left to finish our tests.

After I completed the 50 questions which took me around 30 minutes, I glanced at my bright blue watch, which would display the time after pressing on it. I pressed on it, releasing a great clicking sound, and the time faded into visibility. It read, '2:55', so I was left until 3:15 to entertain myself. School ended at 3:45, but Mr. Keaton decided to take us to the insectarium near the school, then he would dismiss us from there.

Lucky for me, I had to catch the city bus, so I can get home. In the bus I usually stare at the buildings of Detroit to let the time fly. Me and my dad lived not to far from my school. Also, my dad isn't home when I get back from school, since he goes to my sister Lily's school to get her from Kindergarten. Also, my other sisters and mom, I have no idea where they live. Every time I try to contact my home number or my mom's number no one answers. Hopefully they changed numbers, or my mom got a new phone and nothing else happened.

"Okay Class, Hand in your tests. Anything that isn't finished counts as an incorrect answer." Mr. Keaton continued, "As you all know we are going to the insectarium, it is a 5 minute walk and you will be dismissed there."

"Yes sir." The class responded.

On the way there, I talked with my friend Jared, who was my friend in science class. He was one of my few friends I have. My old friends, Clyde, Jordan, Zach, Liam, Rusty are 3 hours away from this place. My dad took me here when I was 11, and all my friends are back in my old home, Royal Woods. It was hard to get used to this place, but I have gotten used to how thing work here. I am doing well in school and I am making a lot of friends here.

We talked about how many species of bugs the insectarium has. Jared told me around 2,000, while I think less.

When we arrived, it wasn't anything looking exciting. It was an orange building with a bright sign hanging over the entrance which read in a plain font, "insectarium." Also, the building was more wide than tall, which is kind of good since a lot of my classmates in science get sick when high over ground. The walls are spread with cracks and weird looking graffiti. It wasn't very pretty, but I had high hopes for the inside.

Inside, it was more modern. The ground was tile, the walls were painted white and slathered with different pictures of insects, which included a detailed description under each one. But the one that caught my attention was a blue and red spider with an interesting back on it.

The description read,

"The Radioactive Spider.

This spider is not natural, it was made by scientists in the early 2000's as part of a project to make anything behave as a spider, but they beefed up the abilities even more. The spider's venom has never been tested on anyone or any animals. The experiment is yet to come or never come for safety reasons. The spider has a DNA pattern on it's back that is half blue and half red. The spider has the shape of a black widow but is the size of a small tarantula. Located in Cage 213 and others are in room 218."

It made me raise an eyebrow.

"Radioactive spider? Would that even exist? Sounds Cheesy," I thought.

Our group leader than proceeded to explain what will be going on in the insectarium.

"Ok Class 107, we will be checking out some very rare and unique species today. We have plenty of different bugs, for example: butterflies, caterpillars, spiders, different ants, even some snakes as a bonus, different flies, and some other things. The main objective is to take notes using your science notebooks from your science binder and take notes, study and examine the different bugs since you guys will be receiving a test on the guys soon. Now let's begin with the tour, shall we?"

We started to follow our Group Leader through a door, which read on a gold plate in a print, "Main exhibit."

"Ok, here in the main exhibit we have some of the main insects that you'll see in the insectarium. Here we have some different types of butterflies. Starting from here, we have the Cabbage White, then the Painted Lady, then the Red admiral and the last one in this room is the Large Heath which it's family is Nymphalidae. Next up in a different room we have some spiders."

I followed our Group Leader into the next exhibit, which was called the Spider Exhibit, and I was presented with a surprising tall celling, and brown bricks as a wall. There were several containers made of solid glass which different spiders in each one, and TV's hung over each cage to show the spider's abilities, habitat, bite affects, etc.….

I ignored the rest once I saw the sign for the radioactive spider down the way. I walked over to check out the "great" phenomenon but was greeted with an empty container, with several webs spun and logs, leaves and dirt.

My friend Jared caught up.

"Where are you going man?" he asked me, confused.

"I came to check the radioactive spider but was greeted with an empty container. I mean, look at that bullshit! I was looking forward to this…" I explained, but my attention was caught onto the screen above the cage, which showed the bite affects, and its abilities.

"Woah man, look at that. It can see up to 10 miles in distance and can even sense when something tries to kill it!" I told Jared.

"So…. You're basically implying that the spider is impossible to kill, and can see us when were on one of our tallest buildings, or even see us on the other side of Jackson Boulevard?" Jared said.

"Yep… But I'm kind of questioning if its even a real spider, since there is nothing in that box…." I replied.

"Yeah, I kind of agree." He then continued, "It looks like they just set it up so people visit this place more, or maybe it is a scam or something else stupid."

"Mr. Loud and Mr. Chowdhury, please come back with the group," Mr. Keaton said, since he was following behind the group.

"Yes sir," we both replied.

But all the sudden I felt a tingle go up my hand, and a sharp pain, then I realised what had happened. A spider had bit me, so I looked down to see a black spider, and swept it off using my hand, and it fell and crawled under a table.

"Shit…. That's a big one…" Is all I could think.

After that experience, I joined the rest of the group where I had Mr. Keaton ask me what the spider looked like. I told him that it was just black spider, and he just said that it was no big deal, and that it was probably just a house spider.

On the city bus back home, I felt way too uneasy. Like my legs were numb, my legs were weightless, and I had an urge to vomit. I couldn't look at the buildings, I would get dizzy and feel like fainting. My stomach felt weaker than ever, and even looking down made me feel sick, like it was a 100-foot drop. My head felt to heavy to support, and I would cock my head from side to side, making a complete fool out of myself, and a head-splitting headache kicked in after just seconds of pain from the great sickness.

My fingers started to feel tight, like they were being squeezed in between two anvils that were being pressed by a 200-pound bodybuilder. My neck started to tingle, while my eyes felt like they were being squeezed by Satan's fingers. My wrists felt like they were slit, and it felt like my veins shaking and producing something, and my wrist kept getting heavier. I felt my stomach tense up, like how you would feel after a workout.

I nearly fainted by was stopped when the brakes were slammed by the driver and I flung forward nearly breaking my tooth on a chair. It was my stop, at Charleston Street, which was two streets away from mine, which meant I had to walk, and trust me, I wasn't in the mood for walking.'

I stepped out of the bus nearly falling face first due to the dizziness and tried to walk without nearly tripping on every step, which was a complete fail. I swayed back and forth at every step, making myself look like a complete dumbass that had 10 shots of vodka.

I finally got to my house, twisted the doorknob to get in and shut it and locked it. I went to my room and fell onto my bed with blue and black bedsheets and had a Scottish pattern on it.

My face fell into the pillow, and I wrapped myself in the blanket before falling off the bed, and then feeling like I was having a seizure, but was awake through the whole thing, but then passed out after 13 seconds of complete hell.

Part 1.5

Pov: Lori Loud

Today was a bad day. Not only was Bobby forced to work overtime, but our baby was stuck with me, which was complete hell to do. Jamie kept getting out of control, and threw his food across the kitchen, and it splattered all over the wall and got some food on me, which was not easy to clean up with paper towels. Then, I received the call saying that Bobby had work till 9pm, which stressed me out, since I had to do all the stuff by myself while I still had to go to my Mom's House. So, I decided to call her and tell her that I couldn't come since I was stuck with the baby.

She and Francesco, my stepdad was very disappointed since she wanted us to come stay out at the new pool, and I received a video message with my sisters playing in the new pool, which included the new oldest of the group, Lynn, who had recently turned 17. Sadly, I missed the great event.

But who do I miss the most, my brother, Lincoln. It's been so long since I've seen and every time I think about it, I start to tear up and hope I could talk to him again.

All my sisters look so…. Different. Lucy is 13 and she is showing one of her eyes and she is wearing a weird looking dress, the twins are both 11 and Lola is looking like a 15-year-old model, while Lana cut her hair short and wears a similar outfit. Lisa is now 8 and her science experiments are over the top now a day, but Lily, she's with dad too, but I can't find them, I haven't found any of their social media, and I don't have their phone numbers.

But one problem is…. Our stepdad is rich, and we were so spoiled to the point where we could almost get anything we wanted. Our house was giant, like 4x the size of our old home. We had a hot tub, a large pool and even a waterslide that's as big as the ones you'd see in waterparks. We each had our own rooms, and we had 2 kitchens and 5 bathrooms. Everything we had was modern, like an amped up version of what it's supposed to be.

Leni became a fashion designer, Luna is a Rockstar which her youtube channel is LunarSun, Luan is now famous for her comedy, but they don't remember Lily and Lincoln, and all of them are now rich and successful.

I still remember Lincoln thanks to the picture I have on my dresser. It my old family photo, which I will never forget….

Lynn Sr. got home with Lily and sighed in relief. "Whew, that was a lot of traffic…." "I wonder how Lincoln is doing."

"Yeah dad, he isn't on his phone on the couch or like he would usually do or play his fun games on the cool box!" said Lily.

"Lincoln!" Lynn Sr. called.

He checked his room. "Wow son, your knocked out cold. Long day at school…. Get some rest."

~The Next Morning~

Lincoln woke up breathing heavily, scared to death. Yesterday's afternoon was a blur, after he got bit by that spider.

He woke up and was called for breakfast...

He was starving, he slept straight through the entire afternoon. He arrived downstairs after going through the flight of stairs.

"Good morning son. You must be starving. Sit down and have some breakfast. You slept straight through dinner yesterday…" said Lynn Sr. Lincoln grabbed a seat next to Lily, where his plate was set up with a lot of scrambled eggs, bacon and a short stack of pancakes with syrup.

"Jee, thanks Dad. This is quite the luxurious breakfast," said Lincoln. As he took a bite of his bacon.

"No problem, I had the time to do it this morning, and by the way, Happy Friday!" replied Lynn Sr.

"But….. I've always had this question Dad…. Do you have mom's number?" Lincoln asked his father.

"No, she got a new phone but never gave me her phone number."

After Lincoln finished his large breakfast, he ran up the stairs super fast, feeling energetic. When he arrived in his room to get some fresh clothes on, he noticed something strange. He had muscles! He looked like a body builder who had been working out for years. He was so surprised by his discovery that he lost trace of the time and Lynn Sr. yelled at him to get downstairs.

"Lincoln! You'll be late! Anything wrong, or anything changed?" Lynn Sr. yelled.

"Yep, big change!" he replied.

"Well come on, your going to be late!" Lynn sr. yelled, so Lincoln put a fresh top and ran downstairs with his backpack with his homework folder and pencil case and ran to the bus stop faster than ever. He was excited for the day, since he got to come home and have a relaxing weekend.
