Cayden could hardly believe that he let his guard down and let Lincoln get captured by Count Vlad and Meela, who revealed to be his parents. The young man was cursing a storm like a ticking cuss bomb to himself for letting Lincoln get captured by all his ten sisters like that.
"Damnit!" He Said out loud. "I can't believe it!"
He felt like picking up a tree and throwing it a very long distance like a giant would do to calm his anger down, but alas, he knows he doesn't have all the strength to do such rash action.
"Alright, Alright." He tried to calm down. "Hope is not lost, mon ami." Cayden was trying to think things through and he knew he couldn't do a thing to help Lincoln out right away. No, this requires more planning.
Walking back to the shack, he felt extremely guilty and blamed himself for any of this to happen. When Clyde noticed him walking inside, the young lad curiously asked him "Cayden, where's Lincoln?"
"Merde! (Shit!)" Cayden cursed in his head. "The young garçon is going to be so heartbroken to hear ze news." Nonetheless, Cayden cleared his throat and said "Clyde, Lincoln... had been captured by his sisters."
"Whaaat?!" Clyde exclaimed in shock and horror. "Oh no no no no!" He screamed. "Not my buddy! Now he's gonna be turned into a vampire too!" He began hyperventilating like no person would do before, it looked like, he was dying of a heart attack.
"Cayden," Said Emeka. "Je pense qu'il est temps qu'il savait la vérité. (I think it's time he knew the truth.)"
"What truth?" Clyde said.
It was extremely difficult for Cayden to spill the beans, but he ultimately said "Clyde, Count Vlad and Meela... are my parents."
What he just said shocked poor Clyde to the core, and felt like fainting, but instead, he was mad at him for keeping this a secret from him. "You're... parents?" He said "You're.. you're jesting me."
"I wish I was." Said Cayden. "But it is ze truth."
A great rage grew up inside of Clyde. He felt betrayed like this and he said "You didn't even bother to tell me and my buddy?! What the hell?! I can't believe you sidn't even bother to tell us the damn truth about it!"
"Clyde, s'il vous plait, listen to me. It wasn't the right time to tell you when we first met. I knew sat if I told you right away, you and Lincoln wouldn't have been here, there for you wouldn't have believe me."
Clyde realized that Cayden speaks the truth, but he was still pretty pissed off at him. He was silent for a moment but he said "okay, I guess you're telling the truth. But what about Lincoln?"
"There's nothing we can do, son." Said Red. "We probably need to come up with an. Different plan."
"Do we?" Asked Alexi
"Yes. But for the time being, Lincoln will be alright."
"Cayden speaks the truth." Said Simone. "The least we can do is pray for Lincoln's well being."
"Oui, I can assure you Lincoln will be just fine." And all of them went back to sleep. Clyde however, could not, for he was too worried about the safety of his own best friend, no at the clutches of the vampires
Looking at the ceiling, he thought out loud; "Oh Lincoln. I hope you're okay."
The Next Morning
Still fast asleep from that spell Lucy put on him, Lincoln was resting in a rather soft and warm bed that felt like the coziest bed ever. It was like he never wanted to get up again, for it felt so nice and cozy to him.
Sighing so soundly in his slumber, Lincoln's body was covered in the blanket, except for his head, then he felt something gently pressing on his chest.
"Lincoln," said Luna's voice. The boy didn't respond at first, and continued drifting off to sleep. "Lincoooooln." Luna sang very softly. "Wake up buddy." Finally giving in to the voice and gently feeling, Lincoln finally awoke and saw all his vampire sisters looking at him with smiles. Lola, Lana, Lori, and Lily were giving him evil smiles on their faces.
Realizing where he was and what just happened, his eyes went completely wide, somwide, that they felt like popping out of his sockets. "Heeeelp!" Lincoln screamed at the top of his lungs. He tried to get out of bed, but Luna stopped him from trying to panic, and run around the room like a wild turkey trying to escape being a Thanksgiving dinner. "Help!" He shouted again. "Cayden, Clyde, Emeka, Heeeeeelllpp!"
"Shhh, Lincoln. Chillax." Luna said softly, hugging him from behind. "It's okay, it's okay." Lincoln was struggling with all his might to escape from his vampire sister grabbing hold of him like this.
"Lincoln, please." Lucy begged. "You're being hysterical."
His heart was still pounding like hell in his chest nonetheless, and Luna continued hugging him gently. "It's alright." She Said. "Everything is just fine."
Lincoln was slowly starting to calm down now, and took a deep breath. However, he felt a small number of tears stream down his face. "Is it really you guys?" He Asked tearfully and sadly.
"Of course it's us, silly." Leni replied.
"Are you Okay, little bro?" The rocker girl asked him, noticing the tears on his face.
"No." admitted. Choking on his sadness. "I've got captured and now i'm Going to be a vampire like the rest of you. It's all over, there's no hope for the Earth now." And he began crying a little harder than before, and more tears were running down his face like he had given up hope.
His sisters all had a look of sympathy. Sure, they were all vampires now, but Lincoln is still their one and only brother.
Luna took it upon herself to say "Bro, look at me." And he just sadly nodded a no to her.
she gently turned him around with her fingerless-gloved hands, and zlincoln finally gave in, and looked at his sisters in the eyes. All of them were giving them sympathetic looks. "Oh Lincoln, don't cry, sweetie." Said Leni.
"It's okay." Luna said. "Yeah, please don't cry."
Then al, the sisters closed in around him, comforting him and trying to make him happy. All of her were saying things like "shhh, it's okay." Or "don't cry." In a gentle tone of voice, all hugging him and giving him some love and comfort.
Luna even had the liberty of wrapping her cap around her younger brother for some extra comfort. "Please don't be scared, dude." She said. "We're not going to hurt you."
"You're... you're not?"
"No. We see how scared you are." Lucy said.
"Even if you are our type. Hahahaha! Get it?"
And they groaned at her joke. "Not now Luan." Said Lori. "Lincoln's literally a little to afraid for those." And she looked back at Lincoln. "Come on bro. So what if we scared you back there? It didn't mean we were going to hurt you."
"It was kinda funny how scared you looked when you first saw us into vampires."
"Lynn!" Everyone scolded at her heavily.
"Poo poo!" Lily exclaimed angrilly. With a quick change of demeanor, she gave her brother a sad smile and got on the bed, and gave him a kiss on his cheek, telling him "everything will be okay."
"Listen Lincoln," said Luna. "We're sorry if we scared you like stone called crazy. We are all just so happy we got vampire powers now."
"And we did... go a little overboard when you saw that." Lana admitted.
Lincoln did say whIle still in a little bit of tears. "Yeah, you think?" And he wiped his nose with sleeve fr his pajamas.
Lola handed him a red tissue. "Use a tissue, Lincoln." She said. Lincoln promptly blew his nose, so loud it sounded almost like a trumpet being played. "And I was happy I got this cool suit and Cape on me. Really stylish."
"I absolutely concur, Lincoln." Said Lisa. "This is an extraordinary feeling I have within my small body. And it gave me the ability of flight like a bateleur eagle." Then she noticed a rat scurrying around the carpet floor and Suddebly went after it in the speed of light. She grabbed hold of it in her tiny hands and used her fangs to bite it's stomach and suck it dry from blood. "Ah, that is quite a refreshment." She remarked satisfyingly." And she promptly threw the rat away with a squish being heard.
Lincoln saw the whole thing and felt way more scared than before, not to mention disgusted that the smartest sister in the family just sucked blood from a rat. And then he continued crying into his legs while curled.
"shhh, shhh, shhh," Luna continued soothing him.
"Oh, Lis!" Lola said. "Seriously?"
"What? I was only trying to find myself a decent little snack for my stomachs time being, airgo, I did."
Lincoln continued crying and shaking in fear of being bitten by his vampire sisters. "Come on Lincoln. Don't cry, man." Lynn said. All the other sisters gathered around him to make sure he was okay and gave him their love and comfort as well.
As he looked up, Lincoln asked "You're... you're not going to suck me dry until I look like a prune?"
"No, dude." Said Luna. "Like we all Said before, we didn't mean to frighten ya."
Lincoln was starting to stop his sobbing a little once more, but he was still shaking. Not really out of fear this time, but he felt a little... freezing. His teeth began chittering like crazy.
Luna made a small gasp and realized what his issue was this time. "Oh Linky, you're cold." And she gave him a really comfortable looking blanket in a long, soft fleece.
"Poor Lincoln." Leni said with great sympathy.
"Winky." Lily said with concern.
"Do you feel warmer now big brother?" Lucy asked him
"I... I think so." Lincoln replied. This blanket he was wrapped around in was really soft and cozy for him, and suddenly felt more warm and toasty like stepping inside a house while being heated on a cold day.
"You had no idea how worried we are of you." Said Luan. "We sent many gargoyles out to find you, but when they failed, we had to ask our masters to help us find you."
"You're not going to bite me?"
"No way, dude. We don't want to be waking the demon like that." Luna said, then patted his back. "We just want you here with us " and she hugged again. It was funny, even though they are all evil vampires now, they are still loving sisters to Lincoln.
"But come on, we do want you to be apart of us." Lori said. "We promise it's literally a very amazing feeling. Yoy can fly, you can teleport, you can turn into a bat, and other powers."
"Yeah, you will love it." Lucy added. "And i'be always wanted to be a vampire since I was a little baby. Oh, Edwin would be so happy and proud for me."
Young Lincoln was thinking about it, and he said "I don't know. It might hurt if I get turned into a vampire if you all bite me."
"Nah. It's perfectly painless. Lord Vlad and Meela are the painkillers for that." Luna said. "You would only feel a teensy pinch on your neck, and the bite marks just fade away."
He was unclear if they were telling the truth or lying to him to be less scared.
"Look, you must be hungry." Leni said. "Would you like to join us for breakfast?"
"Yeah, you've been out of it for ten hours." Said Lana. "Maybe we can give you a little tour of the mansion here."
The boy made a face of mild disgust on his face. "Don't tell me we're having blood in a goblet, or eating rats or human heart." And he felt like throwing up just thinking about eating a human heart.
"No, don't be silly." Said Luna. "We're having your fave type of breakfast." Luna sang encouragingly. "Belgian waffles with syrup and butter, with a sausage, biscuit, cheese, and egg sandwich."
Surprised to hear that, Lincoln was starting to relax a little more now. "Really?"
"You know it, Lincoln." Luna said with a wink. "Come on, we'll take you to the dinner table." The boy slowly got out of his bed and slowly walked a step forward. Just rhen, he felt his right hand gently being held by Luna's fingerless-gloved hand. "Here. Wil this help you heel better?"
"Yeah. Actually it would." He replied with a small smile. Then Lily decided to hover next to him for some extra comfort, and hugged his face.
"Oh look, Lily wants to be next to you." Leni said.
"Well, okay." He said
"See? It's okay." Lucy said. "You're safe with us now. Forever and always." And she hugged him softly, and they all did with Luna holding his hand again.
"Thanks guys." Lincoln said a little gratefuly. And he walked down a really long, red corridor, and it felt a little cold. Still, it wasn't that cold to make him sick. He saw a couple of unsettling things like scary vampire busts. Some of them were baring their fangs and many were not, along with old paintings of Vlad and Meela together. These paintings looked old like a style of Leonardo da Vinci or Gustave Dore when they were alive hundreds of years ago.
While he looked scared, Luna would comfort him with holding his hand and telling him everything will be okay.
"Don't worry, bro." Luna said. "These statues won't attack ya."
"They won't. It's alright, they won't come to life."
Taking a little breath, Lincoln flatly and more calmly said "okay." And they continued walking down the corridor and went downstairs. All of a sudden, Lincoln had a sudden memory the last time he was in this castle before Cayden saved him. "Mom and dad." He thought in his head. "Wait!" He blurted out with a tire screeching being heard.
"What's the matter, sweetie?" Leni asked him with concern.
"What happened to mom and dad?" He asked
"Oh. Don't worry, ma and Pa are in good hands." Luna reassured. "Come on, we'll show you." And they all went back upstairs to a large room, and there were their parents, still as garden statues. Lincoln gasped in horror seeing them still in this horrible state.
"Oh my god." Lincoln. Muttered. He walked up to the statues and gently touched his mother's stony face, and then his father's. "Oh mom and dad." He said sadly, feeling like crying again. In his head, he thought "don't worry guys, i'll turn you back to normal."
Luna had the pleasure of walking up to him and staying close to him. "Don't worry, dude." She said. "Mom and dad are A-OK."
"What do you guys plan to do with them?"
"Our master is still thinking about it." Said Lucy. "But until he does figure something out with mom and dad, they stay in here." Lincoln took a good look at his frozen parents again. He knows they were suffering inside, and wondered if hi siblings were all suffering on the inside as well. Is this really them? Or are they completely brainwashed by Vlad and Meela? He honestly didn't know for sure, but he decided not to think about it too much, for he didn't want to make them angry and go ballistic on him and forcefully turn him into a vampire like the last time he saw them.
"Okay." Was all Lincoln replied to them flatly. And they went down many hallways and stopped in a very large dining room, and the air was thick with the smell of food and cooking.
"Here you go Lincoln, we saved you a seat." Said Lana. "Yoy get the Vip chair."
Indeed, the chair reserved for Lincoln looked way more comfortable than the sisters over at the very long dinner table. He slowly sat on it, and it was very comfortable for his buttocks.
"Grim, Greg!" Lola called out as she clapped her hands two times. Through the kitchen doors bursted two gargoyle chefs with chef hats on their head.
"Yes?" Said Grim
"Bring us a plate of Belgian waffles, and a sausage egg cheese and biscuit breakfast for Abdul of out here. Now!" Lori ordered.
"Yes girls." Said both gargoyles and hurriedly went back to the kitchen.
"Ain't it nice to have our own slaves?" Leni asked blissfully. And the other girls agreed with her. Lincoln just kept silent and stood in place.
"Ah, you're awake, Lincoln." Said a voice Lincoln recognized. He turned around and saw Vlad and Meela walking down in the dinning room. Vlad was walking with an evil yet handsome grace woth every step. Meela was walking with amazing beauty as her long, black hair was flowing. "Did you have a goodnight sleep, Lincoln?"
Lincoln made a yelp and tried to run away like there was no tomorrow, but his sisters caught him, trying to sooth him and calm him down again. "Shh, shh, shh, calm down Lincoln." Luna said.
"Relax, my boy." Said count Vlad. "I won't hurt you."
"Yes seeetheart, no need to be afraid." Meela added.
The girls let go of Lincoln and the king bent down and Lincoln closed his eyes as he looked away from the two vampires. He was thinking they will bite him or hurt him. However, it turns out Vlad only gently touched Lincoln's face with a gentle, yet cold hand. "Please Lincoln, there's no need t br hysterical." He said. Lincoln was calmed down again, but still a little afraid of the vampire king and queen.
"So did you have a goodnight sleep?"
"Y-yeah." Lincoln replied. "I did."
"Good. That's wonderful to hear." Said the queen. "Just look at that adorable little face of yours." And she gently grabbed old of Lincoln's cheeks like a grandmother would do to her grandson.
"I see you girls have prepared yourself some breakfast for yourselves."
"Yes, master." Said Lori. "And Lincoln as well."
"Wonderful. I am rather hungry myself. Come Meela my sweet, our chairs await us"
"Of course my love." And the couple sat over on the two largest chairs together and waited for gargoyle chefs to be ready for their king and queen.
The gargoyles Suddebly came back with more of them and plates with yummy breakfast foods. When they reached the table, all the sisters and Lincoln began eating their food.
"So tell us, Lincoln." Said the king. "Has Cayden been telling you anything about us?"
"Well, I can't believe he lied to me about you not being his parents." He said begrudgingly. "I thought he was my friend. I thought we were partners." And he pouted.
"Oh, it's just like our son. He was always a secretive child prodigy to us." Vlad said. "And it's sad. Our own glorious son wouldn't follow in our footsteps. To think our own son would rebel against our evil power."
"Don't let it get to you, my darling." Meela said, gently patting her husband's hand. "It's a little disappointing that some children do not grow up the way you want them to be, Lincoln. Of course, Cayden is still our son."
"Yes. Cayden is who he is, and we have to accept that." Just then the two gargoyles from before brought the two head vampires a dead merino sheep. "Ah, perfect." And he went into his food along with his wife.
Lincoln was a little disgusted by how the king and queen were eating their food. They both had their teeth bared, and the sound of sucking and heavy munching were heard. Still, he tried to ignore it and went back to eating his own breakfast. Just then, another gargoyle chef came and brought Lincoln a glass of iced orange juice. "Oh, thanks." Said Lincoln.
"Of course." Said the gargoyle. "Enjoy it, young Lincoln." And he flew back to the kitchen.
"So... what about Clyde? What are you going to... do with Clyde." Lincoln asked nervously.
"Well, I was finding out a way how to turn Clyde into one of us." Lori said. "But I don't want to literally hurt him. It's Clyde."
"Well, at least she won't hurt or kill him." Lincoln thought. "Even though Lori does find Clyde annoying at times."
"Need you mot worry about Clyde, Lincoln." Vlad reassured. "He'll be ours soon enough. In dew time, we'll bring him over to this castle and you will be reunited ad best friends again."
Lincoln didn't really say anything, for he didn't know what to say to Vlad or Meela. He couldn't find the right words to speak with them, or have a conversation with them. After he finished his breakfast he was about to go take his scraps to the kitchen to be washed.
"Oh Lincoln, we'll take care of that plate for you." Said Meela. "Phil, Rufus!" She called out. Another pair of gargoyle servants showed up and promptly took Lincoln's plate back to take the kitchen. As he sat back down, he noticed his sisters drinking a glass of blood which made him sick just looking at it.
"I know this is unnerving for you." Vlad noticed. "But do not worry, you will he far used to seeing that kind of sight.
Lincoln was silent again, but he then asked "So, your majesty, are you going to suck me dry now?" He asked, cowering below the table. "Please don't kill me."
Vlad made a humble, snobbish chuckle, and said "Oh Lincoln. Don't be ridiculous."
"We were discussing that with our lord." Said Luna.
"Yes. We figured that you would not cooperate so easilly." Meela remarked. "Look sweetie. Please do not worry."
"Indeed, my boy. Together, we can rule the world. We would be a powerful force against all who oppose us, including Cayden and his cronies."
"Yeah, that guy is just blind to see how amazing this is." Said Lana. "If only he can be part of us, my king."
"Unfortunately Lana," Vlad sighed. "You cannot convince some people of their hair being on fire. No matter. Soon, the world will be all ours, and we will rule the world forever! Mwahahahahahha!" And he cackled on and on, then his wife and Lincoln's sisters all joined in on the evil laughter.
It was a very bad thing for Lincoln to see. He can see how much of evil monsters his whole sisters have become. It was so much, he suddenly fainted on the floor with a loud thump. The other sisters noticed and immediately went to his aid. "Uh-oh." Said Leni. "He needs air. Someone give him air."
It was Lucy who was fanning him with her hand. Lincoln slowly came back to reality, and reopened his eyes. "Ah, what happened?"
"You just collapsed on there, little dude." Luna answered. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah. I think so."
"what happened back there?" Asked Lisa. "Was the smell of blood too much for your nasal openings?"
"No." Lincoln said. "I was a little... frightened to see you guys all laughing evilly like that."
The sisters realized what he meant and felt a little guilty about unintentionally making him faint like that. "Sorry, Linc." Said Luna
and the rest of the siblings apologized after her. "We didn't mean to frighten you like that." Said Leni
"Well I think I know what will cheer you up." Said Luna. "Come on, i'll Show you." And Lincoln followed her sister while holding her hand to a rather nice looking steam room with a nice scent of roses flowing the air.
"A steam room?"
"Yeah, the water is just so refresh, bro, you will love the feeling. It will get you through." Luna said.
"Well... okay." Lincoln Said. "And he was about to take off his pajamas and underwear. And realized that Luna was still looking at him. "Uhh Luna, do you mind?"
"Oh, right. Sorry Linc." And she turned around to let Lincoln change in private. It took no more than ten seconds for him to change.
"Okay Luna, you can look now." The vampire rocker gurl turned around and saw Lincoln wearing nothing but a white towel tied to his waist. "Wait, I thought vampires go in water?" He remembered something.
"That's not always the case little bro." Luna reassured. "We can get in water just fine."
"Oh. Okay." Lincoln Said.
"Can you turn around now, please?"
"Alright." With Luna changing, Lincoln was a little unsure about setting foot in a steam room, especially in a castle that belonged to his now evil vampire family of sisters, who are being very nice and kind to him. "Am I dreaming?" He thought to himself. "Or is this for real?" He honestly didn't know. Even though his sisters still love him, he just wished this was all a terrible nightmare. But he knows this is all for real, and he knows whether he is awake or dreaming, that was the sad truth of it.
"Alright, dude. You can turned around now." Luna said at last. Lincoln turned and revealed Luna in a white towel as a dress covering most of her body. She turned the steam on and promptly went in the booth. "Ah Yeah, this is refreshing." Then she looked at Lincoln, who still looked a little unsure about this. "Come on, don't be scared."
Then the boy slowly went in the booth and slowly felt the steam and humidity rush through his veins and blood vessel. The mist felt so good and relaxing to his skin, and he sighed heavenly.
"oh yeah. This is amazing." He Said with his eyes closed. Then he slowly sat next to vampire Luna and she gently kept him close to her on her left side.
"See? I knew you would love this, bro." She Said happily. And the steam continued to engulf the room. "Listen, i'm Very sorry we scared you like that. You know that we all love you, right?"
"I do." Lincoln Said flatly.
"Come on, look at me."
And he looked into her sad smile with her red eyes glowing. "We would never hurt you and we'll always be there for you. Always."
Lincoln was enjoying the warmth of Luna's body heat as he kept close to her. "Thanks Luna."
"I love you, Linc."
"I... I love you too Luna." Then he felt himself being hugged by his sister to show how much she truly loves him, even as an evil vampire.
"Mind if we literally joined you guys?" Asked Lori, coming in with the others. Lincoln knew the other sisters were outside the curtain, for he heard more footsteps.
aftet the rest of the sisters changed, minus Lily of course since she's a baby, they all set foot in there and joined the two in the mist-bathing. All the sisters sighed in relaxation and enjoyed the steam themselves.
The other sisters apologized to Lincoln for their evil laughter and making him faint once more. Lincoln was thinking about it, and he replied "It's okay." And they all enjoyed the steam together.
When it was done, Lincoln was the one who changed back to his pajamas. And the sisters all changed back to their vampire clothes. All of them went back to the throne room where Lincoln encountered his Vampire sisters for the first time when Clyde was with him.
"So What news do you bring?"
"Well, my lord." Said Lisa. "Our servants on the inside said more and more Homo sapiens are being bitten and turned into one of us. It will only be a matter of time before the whole world will become a utopia for all of us."
"Excellent my children." Said Vlad evilly. "Excellent. And did you have a relaxing time with your sisters in the steam room?" He Asked the Human boy.
"I.. I did." He admitted. "It felt so good in there. I wish I could have spent more time in there without looking like a dried up leaf."
and everyone laughed at his remarked. "Adorable and funny. You are certainly a card, Lincoln." He couldn't help but flush at the queen's compliment. He wondered if Vlad and Meela were acting fatherly and motherly to him for some reason. Maybe they are doing that for a good reason.
For an unknown reason of his own, Lincoln was getting a little bit of a Coraline type of thought about this.
"Come look at the window, my boy." Said The king.
He looked at his sisters, and Luna nodded a yes to him with her warm smile. Lincoln did what the king told him to do, mostly because he was very much afraid of Vlad and his wrath. He looked over at Royal Woods as a vampire haven. Many sights to him were unnerving, such as the red sky and blood moon, many bats flying around the skies. He couldn't tell if they were regular bats or if they were citizens of Royal Woods that turned into Vampires.
"Really inspiring, isn't it, Lincoln? I never get tired of this beautiful view and scenery. Pretty soon, the whole world will be all ours, and nothing will stand on our way." Then Vlad made an evil chuckle with his long, raven black hair waving as if wind had just blown in the throne room.
It didn't make Lincoln any more better, and felt his stomach tightening in fear. "Oh this can't be good." He said in his brain. "He really wanted to put an end to this madness, but he knows he is only one boy, and he couldn't do this on his own. No, Vlad and zmeela were too strong for Lincoln to fight on his own.
"I... I..." Lincoln stammered.
"Yes, child?"
"I... need to be in my room." He said, and he hurriedly walked in a fast pace to the room where he was sleeping before on that large room with the red stain-glass windows. It was a good thing he just said that, for he was under lots of pressure right now. Before he can go through the large double doors however, he was suddenly stopped by a gentle hand from Luna.
"Lincoln, what's the matter?" She asked with concern in her voice
"Nothing. Nothing's wrong." Sure, he says that, but he knows something was definitely wrong. "I just need a little nap to help think things over."
"A nap?" Leni asked him with a raised eyebrow. "But you just got ten hours of sleep."
"No no, it's perfectly alright, girls." Vlad reassured. "But Lincoln, I just want to let you know this; if you ever have a problem or if there is something you want to talk about, please, come to me, Meela, or your sisters if needed."
"Yeah, we'll take good care of you, Lincoln." Luan Said. "Besides, you'll never know when there is a problem at stake. Hahaha! Get it?"
And they groaned at her pun. "Please Luan, not in my presence." Vlad said with his hand over his forehead.
"thanks, your majesty." Lincoln Said, then he went back to the room he was sleeping in before. He was alone again, for his sisters didn't follow him this time.
In the throne room, the sisters were concerned for their brother and were completely worried about him. "Is he alright?" Asked Lucy.
"Do not worry, my children. Lincoln is just under a great amount of pressure right now. He will see things our way soon enough."
"I guess you're right, our lord." Said Lana.
"Of course, I am always right." He boasted.
Lincoln just tucked himself under the covers, but then decided to take off his pajamas and wore just his underwear this time. He looked at his surroundings and then started crying again as he was trying to go to sleep. As he kept on sobbing and weeping, he suddenly heard a voice.
"Lincoln?" It was Luna, who followed him in here, possibly becasue she was the one most worried about him the most. She walked over to the bed, and sat down next to him"Are you Alright?"
"Yeah, i'm Okay." Lincoln snivelled. "I just need to be alone for a while." And he turned over from her.
"Lincoln, look at me." She said
Deciding that She was persistent, he decided to sit back up and look at his sister, who gave him a sympathetic look. "Come here, buddy." And she opened her arms for a hug. "Everything will be okay."
"I just want all of this to end." Lincoln admitted in tears. "I just want things to go back to the way they used to be. Back when everything is not evil and brainwashed. Now the world is going to end like this." And he just turned away from her, crying a little harder than before.
Luna felt like shedding tears seeing him like this, and hugged him with open arms very gently and lovingly.
"I'm sorry Luna. I'm so sorry. I can't believe I let this all happen."
"Shhh, don't be sorry, dude." She Said. "And the world will not end. If it was, there would be fire in the skies with the castles all burning."
"Yeah. That's true."
"Please don't cry, man. You know I love you, right?"
"Uh-huh."
"We'll always be there for you. Forever and always." And she continued hugging him for an extended period of time. "We'll never hurt you, and always take good care of you."
"You really mean that, Luna?"
"Of course I do, dude. You are my little brother and that will never change."
Lincoln was so happy to hear that and felt more calm than he was before. "Thank you Luna." He said to her.
"No problem, bro." And she gently stroked his hits hair oh her hand. "Look, how about I stay with you, and Woe a nap with ya? Will that make you happy?"
"Yeah. Actually, it would."
"Awesome." Then Luna took off her cape and boots as she went to bed with Lincoln, snuggling him close to her. "I love you, Lincoln."
"I love you too, Luna." Lincoln Said with less tears in his eyes. The two slept together (not in a romantic way of course) but in a brother and sister way. Luna was just glad he was back with her where he belongs with the other sisters. She kept him close and held him in her arms as they both slept in this nap. By the looks of them, it might only take a few hours for them to wake up from this adorable, peaceful slumber.
