"help me..."
Lori stirred in her bed. The tiny voice slowly waking her up.
"lori, help me!"
Lori Loud heard her name being called. Her eyes fluttered open to see that it was still nighttime.
"please help..."
The eldest sister sprang up in bed. She looked over to see if it was Leni calling her from her bed but she saw that Leni was still asleep.
"Lori!" the voice called
"Lincoln?" Lori asked as she got up from bed and walked towards her bedroom door. She slowly opened it to see a bright light coming from the end of the hallway. She looked out to see Lincoln's bedroom door opened with the light on. In the room, Lori could see someone in Lincoln's room, wearing a black hoodie with the hood pulled over their head. They were standing over a beaten Lincoln.
"Lori, Help!" Lincoln screamed
The hooded figure gave Lincoln a hard kick to the chest, making him fall back in pain.
Lori grew angry as she ran towards the figure. No one hurts her little brother! She grabbed the figures shoulders and forcefully turned them around to face her. Lori then punched the figure in the face.
"Pick on someone your own size!" she said
The figure looked down as it rubbed where Lori punched. It then pulled back its hood which shocked Lori for she was facing...herself.
Lori took a step back as she stared in confusion at her lookalike.
The lookalikes red eyes stared at Lori.
"Why are you fighting against me, Lori? You should be helping me." said Evil Lori
Lori could barely comprehend the current events.
"W-who are you?" she choked in fear
Lori's evil counterpart laughed.
"I'm you. The true you! The one who has only love for herself and enjoys making the lives of her siblings miserable."
Evil Lori turns to Lincoln who's quietly crying on the ground.
"Especially this twerp!" she hissed as she raised her fist to strike Lincoln once more only for Lori to get in the way.
"No! You're not hurting him!" Lori protested
Evil Lori glared at Lori.
"Me? We're one of the same. We've always had a good time tormenting this twerp! Let me show you." said Evil Lori
The whole room begins to slowly fade away, leaving Lori and her evil counterpart in a dark void.
"Now if we look over here. We can see the times we showed our dominance of the house towards Lincoln." said Evil Lori
Visions from the past surrounded Lori. Events that she recognized when she and Lincoln were on ill terms.
"That time he came into our room while playing with his stupid VR headset." said Evil Lori
Lori sees the vision and how she threatened Lincoln to turn him into a human pretzel, and how she destroyed his headset.
"But I bought him a new one!" Lori defended
Evil Lori grimaced.
"That was in vain, especially after we found that note he wrote about us saying why we're the worst sister ever. Such vulgar language in that note." Evil Lori stated
Lori looked down in shame.
"He was mad at us. I broke his toy and I didn't even bother to apologize." Lori whimpered
Evil Lori shook her head in disappointment.
"You've grown soft, Lori. Be that mean sister again. The one who constantly threatens her siblings, the one who tells them that they mean nothing to the world, how they'd be nowhere without you. You did the right thing by telling Lincoln out. He had no right to break up with Ronnie Anne! He deserved that slap you gave him!" Evil Lori cackled
Lori shook her head in frustration.
"Shut up..." she said
Evil Lori laughed.
"It's not me who you should be mad at. It's Lincoln who deserves your rage! How about I show you his many blunders against us?"
More visions appeared around Lori. There was one where Lincoln posted the video about his sisters embarrassing moments, The time he lied about being bad luck just to get free time, also that time where he opened his big mouth and initiated another sister fight protocol, and many more times that Lincoln screwed up and made an embarrassment of himself or his family.
Lori covered her ears.
"Stop it..." she said
More visions came.
"Stop it!" Lori cried
Evil Lori began to laugh.
"I SAID STOP IT!" Lori screamed as she ran towards her evil reflection. Evil Lori just laughed louder as Lori ran towards her.
Lori grabbed her Evil Lori and began to beat her. But Evil Lori kept on laughing. No matter how hard Lori punched, kicked, or scratch, Evil Lori continued to laugh.
Lori clinched her teeth as she held up her hand.
"SHUT UP!" she screamed as she closed her eyes laid down a mighty slap on her evil counterpart's face.
The laughing was now silent.
Lori opened her eyes hoping to see Evil Lori bloodied and knockout. But Evil Lori wasn't there anymore. Only a scared, beaten Lincoln looking up at Lori.
Lori gasped as she stood up.
"L..Lincoln?" she whispered.
Tears streamed out of Lincoln's eyes as blood trickled down his nose.
"Why? Why do you love to hurt me?" Lincoln choked
Lori quickly shook her head.
"N-no, Linky. I'm sorry!" Lori cried
Lincoln's sad expression turned to anger.
"I HATE YOU!"
Lori stumbled.
"No...No"
"I HATE YOU, LORI!"
Lori fell to her knees as she began to cry.
"LORI!"
"LORi..."
"Lori!"
The eldest daughter felt her whole body being shook. Opening her eyes, Lori saw that Leni was shaking her.
"Lori, wake up!" said Leni as she continued to shake her sister.
"o-okay Leni, s-stop shaking me!" said Lori
Leni ceased the shaking.
"Finally, you were totally freaking out just now." said Leni
Lori wiped her wet cheeks.
"I was?" she asked
Leni nodded.
"You we're crying and kept saying "No!" over and over. We're you having a nightmare?" Leni questioned
Lori looked over to her nightstand to see her clock reading "3:27 am".
"I...I think so." Lori answered
Leni places a comforting hand on her sisters shoulder.
"It must've been really scary for you to start crying." Leni stated
Lori looked back at her dream.
"Yeah...it was scary." she said
Leni stepped off of Lori's bed to grabbed her pillow her own bed and returned to Lori's.
"What are you doing, Leni?" Lori asked in a tired tone
Leni beamed at her sister.
"You're in need of a sleeping buddy tonight. And I'm here to serve!" Leni answered as she climbed into bed.
A few minutes have passed. Leni has already fell asleep while Lori stared at the ceiling. That dream kept swimming in her mind, making her remember the beaten and afraid Lincoln and that horrible Evil Lori. The eldest kept talking herself that she isn't a bad person, that she's a great sister. It wasn't long until Lori finally dozed back into dream land.
I was originally going to post this sometime last weekend but since people seem to really love this story, I decided to check over the chapter a few more times just for you guys.
