I don't own any of this Loud House belongs to Nickelodeon.
Unaware of the recent death of their oldest sibling the Louds continue on with their business.
At the RV Lola is on the floor doodling in her coloring book with Lilly putting her blocks up in a tower near her, while on the table Lisa is setting up her tablet to watch the
Carcass CAM.
"Okay camera set, tablet is in a good position, notes ready for study. Alright I should have everything ready for my study on carnivorous animals feasting on the carcass."
Lola looks up from her coloring book with a disgusted look on her face.
"I still don't see why you want to study that disgusting stuff."
Lisa turns to Lola, "It's actually quite fascinating work Lola."
"Yeah sure it is." Lola goes back to her coloring book.
Lisa simply shrugs and looks down at her tablet, she begins the connecting sequence to the camera by pushing a few buttons on the screen it shows a mini tablet and a camera icon with a line in between them. The line had a dot moving left and right, suddenly the line disappears and replaced by a character with a computer head that had x's where its eyes would be and a frown. Below the computer man a singe sentence 'Sorry, but can't connect to the devise."
Lisa looked at it in confusion, she should have a good connection with the camera as their was nothing in the area that could disrupt it.
"That's odd."
Lola looks up from her coloring book again "What?"
"My tablets not connecting to my camera."
"So"
"So I shouldn't have any trouble as the area should be good for a connection."
Lisa then switches her tablet to a radar to see why there was an interference, on the radar a small blinking red dot could be seen in the north.
"What's that?"
Lisa looks more closer to the red dot that continues to blink on the radar, she couldn't put her finger on what the mysterious red dot could be but she had to shut it off in order to do her research. Lisa puts her tablet down and heads over to her bag, from there she pulls out a box of science equipment Lisa then heads back to the table and picks up her tablet before heading for the door.
"Where are you going?" Lola asked.
"I'm going to shut down the source that's interfering with my connection."
"You can't go out there alone!"
"It's for science you wouldn't understand."
"Mom and dad are going to be mad when they find out you walked into the woods by yourself."
"I understand the risk, but it's worth it if I could get my research going." Without another word Lisa exited the RV and disappeared into the north side of the forest.
"Oh mom and dad are going to loose it." Lola stated with a little smirk.
Lucy had manage to find a nice small cave somewhere in the forest, inside the cave is a nice colony of bats. As she mention Lucy is indeed hanging with them, she is hanging upside down a stalactite in the middle of the colony. The bats didn't mind her as she had shown that she wasn't going to hurt them. Right now Lucy is having a conversation with one of the bats.
"So this is one of the caves you hang out in?"
The bat gives her a squeak in response.
"But there's one cave you don't go in."
The bat lets out another squeak.
"Because it has the sense of something very dangerous in it."
The bat nods.
"But what is it?"
The bat does a long squeak.
"You don't know as the scent from the cave makes you and your colony avoid it."
The bat nods again.
Lucy then looks over to the cave entrance, the sun is just starting to go down.
"Hmm, I still got some hours left, I got plenty of time to hang here before I returned to the RV."
Lucy turns back to the bat.
"So are any of you vampire bats?"
"Okay now this is the perfect hiding place."
Lincoln proudly stated as he hid in-between two large rocks, over the course of the bet Lana had manage to find Lincoln two times; she found him behind a tree, up a tree, so these rocks were his last chance to win this bet. They were in a good place as the area where the rocks were had a lot of similar size rocks around, plus behind the rocks is a large cliff so Lana couldn't sneak up from behind him.
Oh yes, Lincoln felt like Lana would never find him here, he definitely felt like he has this in the bag.
"Hey Lincoln."
Lincoln eyes go wide in surprise before he looked up and saw Lana lying sideways on top of the left rock, with her hand on her cheek while she smiled down at him.
"Dang it."
Lincoln walks out from his hiding place with a scowl on his face, Lana hops off the rock with that smile one her face.
Lana holds out her hand, "Alright Lincoln I found you three times so pay up."
"Wait how about a two out of three."
"It's going to end the same way Lincoln, just pay up already."
"Fine I'll give you the money once we get back to the RV."
"Sweet."
"Now the RV should be." Lincoln looked around the unfamiliar area, he had spent the whole time looking for somewhere to hide that he hadn't paid attention where he was going, so he had no idea where he was which only meant one thing.
"Lana I think were lost."
"Lost! What do you mean were lost?"
"Simple were lost in the middle of the woods."
Lana started to feel a little scared, she may like the woods but the thought of being lost in them was scary. As can you imagine being in the middle of the woods, alone, cold with no idea if your going in the right direction. You could be stuck there for days, weeks, months, or even years, and then you have to survive by using the tools you might have brought with you and the stuff that's available in the woods. You then find out how quickly your place is in the woods, while you may be a predator for smaller animals like squirrels, fish, or some birds. You are prey to other animals and for all the animals in the world humans are animals that don't have any natural defense against predators.
Sure we may have large brains to make tools and weapons, but in all honestly if a human had nothing on them when a predator's coming towards them their screwed as we
have no claws or sharp teeth to defend ourselves with so we would be an easy take down.
Lana was thinking this right now as she started to shake in fear. Lincoln puts his hand down on Lana's shoulder reassuringly, "It will be okay Lana, I'm sure well find our way back."
"But where do we go?"
Lincoln takes a look around the area trying to figure out what is the right way back to the RV. The problem was that everything look the same so it was hard to tell which way
was what, so Lincoln gently grabbed Lana's hand and went down with her in a random direction.
Lynn, Leni, and Rita returned to their hike, they could still taste the yummy berries inside their mouths.
"Oh my gosh you guys! Those were the best berries I ever had."
"I couldn't agree more honey, I just love the taste of berries."
They continued to walk through observing the beauty's that natured offered, they now approached a curve in the path. Off the curve were thick bushes and Mable trees. They were about to go down the curve until Lynn noticed the bushes moving in the corner of her eyes. She stopped to get a clearer look. There was definitely something in the bushes, something large.
"Do you guys see that?"
Her sisters and mother looked in the direction that Lynn was looking at, from behind the bush orange eyes watched them, low growls could be heard and its mouth opened up a bit.
The three Louds felt easiness as they heard the growls from the bush.
"Is that a bear?" Leni asked.
"I don't know, but if it is we should back away slowly, we don't want it to charge."
They slowly move away from the bushes, the bushes shook and a loud roar pierced their ears. They screamed and took off, behind them they could hear something break through the bushes and run after them. They ran and ran as fast as they can with the unknown creature behind them; the three eventually came up to a narrow cave.
"Quick in there!" Lynn yelled.
They ran in there with Rita being last one, she got half through until she got stuck.
"Girls Help! I'm stuck!"
Lynn, and Leni grabbed their mother's hands and pulled, it took a few hard tugs until she got pulled in.
"Thanks girls."
"What happen mom?" Leni asked.
"I think those berries got to my thighs." Rita replied as she rubbed her hips.
"Guys quite, I think its out there." Lynn stated, the three shut their mouths and leaned against the caves walls; across from them was the suns light. A large shadow appeared, the shadow stopped and looked around. From the shadow the Louds saw that it was large, with a thin snout, there was also some sharp, pointy things sticking out from around its shoulder.
The creature sniffs around the area, and lets out some soft growls, it then lets out a loud roar and walked off. They hear its footsteps fade until they weren't audible anymore.
"I think its gone now girls."
"What was that thing?" Leni asked.
"I don't know, but whatever it was it sure was big." Lynn had stated.
"We should get back to the campsite, its safer there." Rita attempts to leave the cave first, but once again got stuck, "Aw dang it, girls can you help me."
"Sure mom. Now this may hurt a bit."
"What do you mean Lynn?"
Suddenly Lynn slammed her elbow into her mother's butt, the force from the impact sent her flying out and land hard onto the ground. Lynn leaned against the cave while smiling.
"There you go mom."
"Thanks Lynn." Rita slowly got to her feet, "I need to lay off on berries.
"Whoa! Look at those." Leni exclaimed.
Rita and Lynn look down to the ground to see three finger footprints in the dirt that led away from the cave and back into the forest. The three were stun as they never saw a footprint like this before, it was unusual just like the shadow of the creature that those prints belong to. And that roar it had made it was at first deep but grew into a high pitch sound.
It was definitely the same roar that they heard last night, Rita pulls out her camera and takes picture of the footprint as maybe Lisa can tell what it is. As for now Rita decided that it was best to head back to avoid more danger from whatever that thing was.
