As of today, the original first 7 chapters of Rocks On is no longer available. Y'all stuck with this one now. This dream stirs differently from the original and trust me... it's better this way.
Guest & LoudAutomata16: Thank you for those reviews, it's honestly very awesome for me!
Sweet Dreams (Of You) - Patsy Cline
The living room of the Loud House was dark, not a single light except the tiny beams of sun that managed to escape past the closed curtains. The atmosphere thick with tension as the house was unusually quiet, you can hear a fly buzzing from miles away.
Luna looked around in confusion as she felt uncomfortable. She had randomly appeared in a haunting version of her home and it made it want to run from it before a monster of some sorts comes tumbling down the stairs. An inventions os Lisa's or maybe even some secret creature Lana befriended and hid within her room. It WAS possible knowing her siblings.
She started walking slowly towards her parent's room, dragging her bare feet across the carpet. She clutched onto her nightgown and anticipated what awaited for her.
"M-Ma? Pops?"
She opened the door slowly, a loudly creaking ringing through the house. The room was just as dark as the living, with no one occupying it.
'Weird. Usually one of them should've been in here.'
Backing away, Luna made her way to the bottom of the stairs. She looked up the staircase and listened out to see if maybe there was a set of quiet footsteps possibly belonging to Lola or even Leni. Maybe even Lucy, that girl can really sneak up on ya.
"Lori?"
Nothing.
"Luan?!"
Nope. Still nothing.
"Lincoln?!"
After shouting a handful of names and receiving no response, Luna walked back to the center of the living room where she had found herself standing in the first place. She sighed heavily as she tried not to let fear settle within her.
"Be strong, Lunes. Come on." She encouraged herself.
Suddenly, the radio on the other side of the room turned on, blasting white noise. Scaring Luna and making her jump up high, after she landed back on the ground she turned towards the radio and looked at the device.
The staticky white noise quickly went away and sat there in silence before playing a song Luna was somewhat familiar with. It was an oldie but she didn't hate it. The short instrumental that took place, in the beginning, began to play. A bright light cascaded down the staircase and caught the rocker attention as she peaked at it from the corner of her eye.
She looked up and saw the silhouette of a very familiar body. A ponytail, a nicely shaped body, and the posture. It was Lynn, she was sure of it.
Sweet dreams of you
The song began to play, the beautiful voice of Patsy Cline flowing out of the speakers. Lynn stood more forward, her outfit now visible to Luna. A clean white long sleeve, her red usual shorts, white long socks, and no shoes. Luna was about to speak out but stopped before she could get a word out after she realized something off.
Was Lynn lip-syncing?
Every night I go through
Lynn slowly started to tiptoe down the stairs, keeping eye contact with Luna who stood there smiling. Her heart bursts with joy and her loins stirred as she looked over the girl's body.
Why can't I forget you and start my life anew
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
Luna's smiled disappeared as she heard the song's lyrics. What was this supposed to mean? Why was it even happening?
Lynn finally reached the bottom of the stairs, she leaned against the wall and looked away from Luna for a split second, her eyes darting down to her arms before going back to gazing at her sister.
Luna followed Lynn's eyes and gasped as saw blood seep through the white fabric, a pattern of drops at first then turning into a full blow splatter shape. She tried to run to Lynn but her foot just wouldn't move. Almost as if she was glued to the spot.
You don't love me it's plain
I should know i'll never wear your ring
Lynn started to walk forward, slowly. A limo taking its place with her, then to full-blown staggering. More splatters of blood soaking her shirt, around her chest, shoulder, and back. Still, managing to sing along with the song.
I should hate you the whole night through
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
Upon reaching a stuck Luna, Lynn stood in front of her. Very close to her, where the rocker was finally able to see every detail of her face. Dark red dripping from her lips as it started to cover her teeth. Little dots of it all around her face, but apart mixed with tears that trailed down her eyes.
Lynn grabbed Luna's hands, making her shake and frown. Her vision beginning to become blurry.
Sweet dreams of you
Things I know can't come true
Lynn's hand rested upon her cheek. Giving her a watery smile before continuing.
Why can't I forget the past
Start loving someone new
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
The long-haired brunette finished as the song began to close, she leaned in to give Luna a kiss in the cheek where her hand had laid previously. But before she could, she started to slip to the floor. Her gaze never leaving the girl's eyes, and her smile not ceasing to drop.
"Lynn! Lynn!" Luna finally found her voice, shouting for her sister as she tried to move her own body but failing, "No, no, no!"
"NO!"
Was all she shouted loudly as Luna shot up in her bed, her head hitting the ceiling hard. Giving off a loud 'THUMP'.
She head Luan wake up and trash around in her bed, speaking in a panicked, raspy voice.
"What? Huh? What's going on?"
Luan rolled off the bed, landing on the floor before shooting up onto her feet. She looked around as she lazily scratched her head.
"Lunes, you okay?" She asked in a soft before rubbing her eyes. Blinking hard a few times to get rid of the blurry sight she had.
Luna started to control her breathing as she held a hand to her chest, feeling her heart pound wildly. That dream had been morbid in a way that she couldn't explain. From the song's lyrics, to Lynn lip-syncing to it, then to the bloody mess all on her white shirt. Being as clueless as she was, Luna doesn't know a single meaning to it.
"Yeah. I'm fine, a little nightmare. Nothing I can't handle." Luna mumbled, closing her eyes and running her hands through her damp, sweaty hair. Barely hearing her roommate over the roaring blood that flowed through her ears, she tried to brush off the girl and the conversation.
"Aw damn, you too? D-Do they usually end in a rough sexual encounter?"
She turned to face her sister with an awkward facial expression. She knew Luan was a weirdo but this was just the cherry on top. Sex in a nightmare? Would that even be considered a nightmare?
"Um… No."
Luan visibly faltered as she saw the look on Luna's face. She forced a smile and laughed nervously, "Oh! Well then. W-What was it about?"
Blinking, Luna shook her head. Just to get rid of that very strange comment, she went along with it.
"It was just involving a… Love interest of mine."
"Whaaaaaat? Luna with a love interest? That's a first!"
"Yeah. Anyways, they were singing this old-timey country song, one about heartbreak and what not. While they were, it looked like they were dying. Blood all over them and walking towards me kinda funny. They collapsed before I could catch them."
Luan stood there as she collected the information that was given to her. Lots of dreams/nightmares meant lots of different things, it all just depends on how you take them. One thing she knew, is if you can understand the dream or nightmares message/warning, it's best to just listen. You never know what could happen if you didn't.
"What song were they singing? Do you remember the lyrics?"
Luna nodded and being to reminisce back onto her little nightmare to try and see if the song would come back to her. She began to hum softly the familiar tune, eventually singing the lyrics she remembered softly, "Sweet dreams of you, things I know can't come true."
"Ahhhhhh," Luan grinned victoriously, "I know that song. It's called Sweet Dreams by I believe Patsy Cline. I would've figured you have known it."
"Well kinda. I didn't know the song name or singer."
"Well, you said they were singing this? While… dying?"
"Yeah."
It was odd but with her own being much more weirder dreams, Luan couldn't judge.
"Maybe it's a sign." She suggested as she climbed up the bunk beds ladder. She plopped down next to her sister and rested her hands on her lap.
"A sign? How so?" Luna laid back down, her arms folded behind her head as she looked back up at Luan.
"Well, heartbreak song and dying person? Maybe it's telling you it's not meant to be," Luan said somberly, a frown upon her lips as she saw her sisters instantly reaction, "Maybe it meant bad things would happen if you DO stay together."
Luna looked down as she felt a pang of sadness shoot through her heart. Sure, maybe they weren't meant to be, but something bad happening to either her or Lynn? Surely even she can prevent that. No matter what, Luna can protect her sister at all costs. I mean shit, maybe all dreams or nightmares aren't supposed to be taken seriously.
"Alright then… Well, I'm gonna get back to bed. Thanks for that."
"Ahhhh it's no problem! I'm happy to help any way I can." Luan happily said as she jumped down the ladder and into her own bed, getting comfy, "Take the nightmare however you want to okay? With all your confidence it's true or with a grain of salt. Whatever happens… Remember it's all on you."
And that she did. Took it with a grain of salt that is. A nightmare couldn't possibly give you some sort of warning of future events, she didn't believe in stuff like that. As she believed, she can protect Lynn with all of her might. She'll make sure nothing happens to her as any big sister should, but this is even more now.
Maybe she DID love Lynn like that. Anything is possible, ya know. And also, there could be a chance she loved her back the exact same way. Nothing bad could possibly happen, right? If they did had decided to spend their lives together as lovers instead of sisters. They'd just have to ride it out until they both had enough money to run away, far from Royal Woods. Right? Yeah. They totally can. Nobody has to know and if they come to find out, the two girls would be far from this place. They'll be too busy living their lives in peace and happiness.
Then again, the guilt of their love affair was just too much. In the eyes of others, it was an abomination and was the most disgusting, most disgraceful thing they could've brought to their family. Yet… Luna just couldn't help it.
No wonder Eve ate the forbidden fruit. It just tasted so damn good.
NEXT MORNING
It had been an odd night, one that Luna was ready to get over. The nightmare was still on her mind and giving her headaches as she thought about it every few seconds. She had wished for some kind of peace from it and the words Luan spoke of, telling her about it being some kind of sign. The only harm that could come to her or Lynn was if she let those words get to her. Well... that's what she believed anyway.
Luna jumped down her bed, clothes for the day in one hand and toothbrush in the other. She was determined to make this a good day, didn't want to stress herself out anymore than she already had.
The other bed was empty, meaning Luan had probably went to stand in line in the bathroom already. Cool, maybe she can convince her to cut in line this once.
Trying to walk out the door, Luna felt a hand shove her chest, causing her to stumble back into the room. Her belongings all over the floor. She had also almost fell but, thankfully, caught herself before she could. Would've been a nasty fall.
Looking up, she saw Lori standing there, her arms crossed and brow raised.
"Lori, what the fuck?"
"I gotta talk to you."
"And a simple 'can we talk' is just too much to say?"
Lori closed the door and rolled her eyes, "Whatever. Listen, I saw how friendly you were being with Lynn yesterday. That was pretty out of character for you."
'THIS IS WHY SHE PUSHED ME?!'
Luna just picked herself up and straightened out her nightgown, angry as she was, she fought against the urge to punch Lori straight in the nose, "So? She's my sister and I figured maybe I could start being nice to her."
"What about the rest of your sisters? And Lincoln? You literally weren't nice to me or Lola."
"That's cause you and Lola are snarky little… girls," Luna bit back the 'cunts' that was ready to roll off her tongue, "Lola towards Lynn who just beat the living daylights out of her, and you towards me for what? I have no idea."
All Lori did was scoff, she let her arms hang at her sides and smiled. She looked Luna up and down with a nasty gesture before turning around and opening the door.
"Yeah well," She stepped a foot out the door and turned her head back around, "Let's hope all you're doing is being a nice sister."
With that, she left Luna there. Standing with her fist clenched tightly and a scowl on her face.
