"How is our big brother?" said Lana in a quite sad tune.

"Ok ok… wait just a sec Lisa-"but it was too late…she got a syringe out of her pocket and…
"OHHHHHHWWWW?! WHAT THE HECK LISA!?" Lincoln felt an aching pain in the arm.
"Dont worry dear brother this is for science…and for your health." She then proceed to put the sryinge (full of the blood of Lincoln) back to her pocket.

"Well then let's go to home ok kids?!" shouted Lynn sr.
"Yeah!" said Luna in her rock voice.
"Ok then let's go." Then the van was leaving back to the loud house…Little they knew the stranger was following them…

"Yes were back kids now go to the house if need to go to work ok?" said a rushed Lynn sr...
"Ok dad!" Said everybody in unison.
"Oh and take care of your brother ok?"
"Ok!" Said everybody (minus Lincoln and lily)
Then the van was gone…

"Yes actually if need to go to Clyde's house to tell him why if didn't go to school in 4 days…"
"(growling) but first if need to go and eat something because the food in the hospital wasn't the best he he…"

"Uggh im full…" said Lincoln.
"were pleased that you are ok but you didn't said you were about to go to the house of Clyde?" said lynn"

"…but if can't move too much anyway…so then it will contact him via the walkie talkie" told to the sisters.
"Ok Lincoln don't worry too much if bet he is not that worried…" said Luna.
Meanwhile…in the Mcbride residence.
"Hmmm…if wonder when is Lincoln going back to school…because…IM FREAKING WORRIED?!" Said a very anoxious Clyde…
"HE STILL DON'T ANSWER HIS WALKIE TALKIE…WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH HIM?!" he felt very worried...
"I HAVENT TALK TO HIM SINCE 4 STRAIGHT DAYS?!... (COUGH COUGH…)"he was starting to have an asmatic attack…
"LINCOLN…PLEASE…please answer the walkie talkie…"

"Wait calm down Clyde if need to make a lot of explaining so please…listen ok?"
"…OK…ok im calming down…why you didn't tell me what happened these days? Do you have any idea of how worried if was?!..." said a truly worried Clyde.
"Well it's a bit hard to explain so listen very carefully… … …"
Then lincoln explained the horrible things that happened a few days ago…he tell him everything with details and patience but he didn't tell him about the nightmares or the strange dreams…then the time was passing faster…
"So that is why if could contact or talk to you…im sorry" said a very exausted Lincoln.
"…no I-Im sorry…if didn't knew what did happen to you im so sorry…" said an emotionally exausted Clyde.

"No Clyde this wasn't your fault…it…umm well if don't really know whose fault is…but im certain it wasn't yours ok?" said Lincoln with a calm tune.
"Maybe it's just bad luck or…something else…"
"…hmm if wonder why a total stranger did want you to suffer in the first place…"wondered Clyde.
I dont know…really it's just that…well" Lincoln couldn't find any words to tell to him.
"Me neither but maybe it was just bad luck…or maybe it was destiny…"said Clyde trying to comfort Lincoln.
"Oh hey…did you talk with Ronnie Anne?"
"Oh…! Yes if did!" said a suddendly happy Lincoln.
"Really did she was angry about your absence?"
"Yes she was but she just was worried like everybody."
"Really?"
"Yes but then if give her and hug and then…if tell her to be my girlfriend…like a real one."
"Oh really? What did she said?" said a wondered Clyde.

"Oh Lincoln im so proud of you…"
"…heh thanks oh and if given to her a kiss…confirming my intentions…"
"Really? Oh that is a step foward to being an adult…in glad she is fine too…"
"Thank you Clyde…well if think it's time to sleep don't you think?"
"Yeah im exausted…well then if will see you tomorrow in school ok?"

"What time is it? 9:44 pm… hmm…who is there?" said Lincoln.
"It's me Lincoln don't fear me ok?" said Lori.

"…no…"
"You still have time to help your sisters and close ones…please try to fight the evil one…"
"What? How?"
"…if don't know…but if you don't do anything tomorrow…this could happen…"

Then…the void was filled with an imitation of the room of his best friend Clyde.
"NO NO PLEASE…NO MORE!"
"Is that…clyde?"

"Oh…no not again…you" thought Lincoln…

"I-I…I can't sleep with the thought of the promise…he made against us…im…if…if just can't let Ronnie and Clyde alone again…if feel bad because of the things that happened these days…"
"Lincoln…don't worry us will always be with you…if he tries something nasty…I will make him pay for what he did to you if swear…"
"But if didn't even see him…Lori he was in dark clothes… he assaulted me in the darkness…if can't even try to reason him…he is just that Decided…maybe he just want me dead…" the thougth made Lincoln very worried…and he was just starting to cry…
"Oh Lincoln you can't let this go too far…maybe if we tell the police…or just…"she didn't had any recomforting words to tell to her only brother…
Then Lincoln snap…
"NO… IM NOT…I-I-I JUST WANT TO SLEEP IN PEACE…I WAS STARTING TO HAVE NIGHTMARES SINCE THE ATTACK…I JUST DREAMED ABOUT CLYDE…! HE WAS BEING KILLED BY THE EVIL MAN… I JUST CAN'T DO ANYTHING!..."said a very tired Lincoln…he was very tired of the whole situation…he was just tired…

"Did the stranger come back?" said Lynn.
"Umm no…what are you guys doing here?" asked Lincoln.

"What should if do for you…?" said an interesed Lisa.
"Can you tell me if these letters mean something?" then he gave to her a piece of paper…
"Ok if will check it tomorrow…good night." then Lisa was gone.

"It was a code…or a scramble of letters? I don't know but if dream it…maybe it mean something…" stated Lincoln.

"BEEP BEEP BEEP…"
"Ughh… (Yawn) what time is it?"
"7:30 am…"

"Maybe if shall go to the bathroom and then sleep a bit more…" thougth Lincoln.
Then he was looking in the hallway...it was silent…deadly silent…
"Nobody is awake..."
"Then if shall go fast…" he was about to reach the bathroom but…
Somebody was there…
"Hello?"
"Lincoln?" said Lynn from the other side of the bathroom.
"Oh sorry if was just passing to the bathroom…if didn't knew that you were there if will wait."
