After spending the rest of break jamming with Tabby, Lincoln walked to his next lesson. When asked if he found out Lincoln simply nodded. When the they all left went lunch everything seemed to be going well until he received a text from Haiku. 'Lucy's running."

Lincoln jumped out of his seat and ran out the hall leaving behind his confused friends. As he ran he started calling Haiku. He stopped outside the hall as Haiku picked up. "Where's Lucy?" Lincoln asked before she could get a word in.

"I don't know. She ran out and disappeared." Haoku answered.

Lincoln sighed. "Okay meet me outside the hall. I've got a idea."

"I'll be there soon." With that Hakiu hung up, while Lincoln began searching his contracts, ignoring the questions of his friends as they was curious to what was running through his head.

Lincoln began calling Lisa. "I need you to track Lucy, and don't bother trying to lie to me." Lincoln said said the second she picked up.

"Okay fine, I'll text you a number, that once called will allow you to use a phone like a geiger counter, and I'm sure you know how they work." Lisa answered before hanging up and texting a number to him.

Lincoln began typing in the number. "What's the plan?" Haiku asked, making the group of boys jump.

After the shock wore off Lincoln finished entering the number and his phone began clicking. "follow the clicks."

"Should we come to?" Clyde asked.

"It's probably best if we handle this. We know Lucy best." Lincoln said, gesturing to himself and Haiku.

"Understood. Come on guys." Clyde said as he pushed the others back into the hall.

Lincoln looked back at Haiku. "Let's go."

Meanwhile.

Lucy was walking through the halls. She had heard Haiku call someone, it didn't her long to figure out it's Lincoln on the other end. So she now walked through the halls waiting for Lincoln to inevitably find her. But Chandler found her first.

Chandler grabbed her by the shoulders and slammed her into the lockers. "How do you know Larry!?"

"His name is Lincoln and he's my big brother." Lucy answered, clearly irritated. "Now if you'll excuse me." Lucy said quickly breaking Chandlers hold on her and began walking off.

Before Lucy could get far Chandlers goons grab a arm each and force her back into the lockers. "Where do you think your going?" Chandler asked harshly. Lucy tried to break free again, but she couldn't get free. "You're going to give your brother a little message for me." Chandler said lightly punching his open palm. "Move her hair I want to make sure this bruises." Chandler ordered his goons.

"No." Lucy mumbled, before shaking herself violently to escape. Lucy hoped that someone would help her but they just watched, some of them were even recording. They finally managed to keep her head still and moved her hair.

Chandler gasped. "What the?" Lucy's pupils were a faded white and the rest of her eyes were bloodshot marked. "You're a freak!" Chandler yelled.

People began pointing at her and chanting. "Freak! Freak! Freak!" Lucy's eyes began to well up with tears.

"CHANDLER!!" Lincoln yelled, looking angryer then he had ever looked before with a shocked Haiku stood next to him. "Leave my sister alone!" Lincoln yelled as he began to charge at them. Chandler and his goons panicked and ran away. Lincoln stopped dead in front of his sister. All the rage left him as bent down and hoisted Lucy up. "Where did he hurt you?" Lincoln spoke softly.

"He-he was going t-t-to punch me in the-the eye s-s-so they lifted my hair a-a-and-." Lucy was shaking and crying as she explained everything to her brother. Lincoln cut her off.

"You don't have to say anything else. I understand." Lincoln said and pulled her into a hug, Lucy instantly hugged back.

The watchers were still there, with some still recording so Haiku snuck up behind them all and with a loud "Boo!" They all panicked and ran away.

"What's with all noise!?" Lola demanded, as she and Lana came around the corner. Upon seeing Lincoln hugging a crying Lucy with Haiku resting a hand on her shoulder they imidatrly ran over.

"What happened." Lana asked.

"I'm calling a emergency sibling meeting, secludeding Lucy. I'll tell you then." Lincoln responded.

Later.

Lincoln, Lucy and Haiku had explained what had happened and it was decided that Lucy would go home early because of her current emotional state. Lucy was relived but wanted Lincoln to come with her, after some comforting words from Lincoln Lucy agreed to go home alone. Afterwards Lincoln and Haiku went to their lessons.

"Thanks for agreeing to look out for Lucy, Haiku." Lincoln thanked her.

"I would have helped her anyway, but I'm glad that you now owe me one." Haiku answered.

"What ever you need." Lincoln responded. "Why did Lucy run anyway?"

"Sigh, do remember how I told you that some of the clubs members were talking behind her back?" Haiku asked. Lincoln nodded, beginning to see where this was going. "She was voted out of the club by some of the harsher members." Lincoln stopped walking as his jaw dropped, before his expiration turned to anger. "Lincoln." Haiku said, snapping Lincoln out of his anger. "That won't help. The best thing to do is prepare a argument in her defence, with you and Clyde present, as you are still members."

Lincoln smiled. "Thanks for everything Haiku." He thanked her.

Haiku looked shocked at Lincoln for thanking her. "Your smiling to much." Lincoln chuckled at her response. Haiku began to blush a little, she wasn't used to these kinds interactions. " We should start walking again." Haiku spoke up again.

"Okay." Lincoln agreed and they both began to walk. "Have you decided how I'm going to pay you back?"

Haiku looked at him confused. "Why are you asking?" She asked.

"Small talk." Lincoln casually responded.

"I'm not one for small talk." Haiku answered.

"You can drop the brooding act if you want. The whole reason Lucy reads those books is to take a break from the darkness." Lincoln responded.

"Sigh, I have but I'm not going to tell you. Not yet." Haiku said.

"Can I at least guess?" Lincoln questioned. Haiku nodded. "Is it a ritual? Going somewhere haunted? Help with a poem? Poems?" For each one Haiku shuck her head. 'Why is she being so mysterious?' Lincoln thought to himself. 'Those are all things she would probably answer openly, that with what I've said to get her to even agree she had something in mind must mean.' "Is it personal?" Haiku gasped and her eyes widened. "Oh, in that case I'll wait until you're ready." With that Lincoln walked faster straight into his lesson.

'Is that why Lucy looks up to him?' Haiku though to herself.
