Hello, I wanted to keep improving my writing and take my time as I wanted to see some improvements developed over time.

Also, I might have a long and tight schedule with my other stories and new ones...so see you all in thanksgiving day

On to the story...

(Jacksonville FL, Blaunt-quarantine island, 10:29pm)

Within the cold and windy night in the friendly, but busy road of Blaunt-Quarantine Island. Although the weather had to chance of rain, each drop hit the ground and old tarred road where the multiple cars have its headlights shining the road. Even the streetlights shine the weather road and the glimmering drops of rain that are visible to the driver's eyes. But there's one driver who has his eyes in on the road with great disappointment, and his name is Jacob. A vehicle identified as a white suburban explorer where Jacob is the driver (obvious), Sophia in the passenger seat, and Lincoln sitting behind the passenger seat while holding lily since the vehicle doesn't have a baby seat. The car was filled with awkward silence as Jacob had a meltdown in the bus station in front of bystanders. The trio had their heads down in shame...well not for Lily as she wasn't sure what was going on.

Jacob then broke the silence "this is ridiculous...first you get kicked out of college for a irresponsible act you caused for a simple candle, then you found a runaway kid with his baby sibling WHICH Maria is hopping mad for no reason, and now I have to deal with your high!?"

Sophia slumped over against the side door and her head against the glass. She then gave a tired but nervous smile "no no it's fine, it's fine, I'm fine... I just needed some water and... maybe some air."

"...Why am I not convinced?" he said as he gave an irritated sigh and focused back on the road.

"Uh...can I explain myself in here?" Lincoln intervene as he had an explanation for Sophia's high...well it would sound a little bit foolish to not see how a stoner with messy clothing and red eyes is giving a customer a couple of weed brownies.

Jacob gave a sigh and later spoke with a strict sound "look kid...this is... grown-up stuff and I don't want you to get involved...It's complicated...but you and I will have a discussion once we get home... understood?"

"Yes...but it's not her fault, some employee from the previous stops was trying to drug us and I try to warn Sophia, but she already ate one of the weed brownies before I could get her to stop." he said with desperation as he wanted Jacob to be convinced with Lincoln's explanation. But Jacob was not the type of person who would be hearing answers quickly without having any explanations once he got home.

Jacob wanted to reject Lincoln's case but knowing how much information about Lincoln and his story explained from the recent call from Sophia...he wants to know if he's telling the truth. He then turned to face Sophia with a curious look. "Is this true, sis?"

Sophia looked to be tired and dizzy at the same time. She then desperately moved her head to face his brother and gave a nod. Jacob noticed how odd his sister responded back. "Are...you alright?"

"Yes, yes, I'm fine...I just…everything is dizzy...I'm gonna be sick..." Sophia then gave a small gag as she holds her mouth with both hands.

"Uh oh" lincoln cringe

Jacob noticed this and drove a bit quick as he stepped on the gas pedal a few inch more "No no no no no, where's the nearby gas station?!" he yelled as he swerved and moved between Cars 2 Cars has any other stores were not the right stop. Beach store seems to be close considering how late it is and the only way to diminish the situation was to find a gas station that has a 24-hour service. And just as stay crossed a street light Lincoln notice a particular gas station just across the left side of the road.

"Over there!"

"What?" Jacob look back to see Lincoln pointing at a gas station that is still currently open Jacob turn since vehicle around into a U-turn even though there are some vehicles stopped as they watched a reckless driver driving into a U-turn in order to get to a gas station. Lincoln and Sofia lean all the way to the right side of the vehicle as the simple u-turn cause them to lean against and fall a bit. Jacob then drove to a curve and then Parks all the way to the front of the building.

"Ok, we're here! Now get-"

Check up as letter interrupted by a loud gag noise as followed by another noise of a liquid splatter all over the part carpet. Jacob gave a loud sigh of irritation and disappointment as he closes his eyes and turns to his right only to open his eyes and see…

"What?" said Sofia as she looks to be still sick to her stomach but what makes us more surprising as she doesn't look like she puked at all and even on the carpet where she placed her feet doesn't have any vomit at all. Jacob was in confused as he scratches his head wondering what was that noise of a gag reflex and liquid splatter all over the carpet.

"Wait...if you didn't make that noise...then who did?" He asked she looks back only to see Lincoln holding lily as both were completely dizzy. Considering how Jacob needle I typed you turn that caused Lincoln to slam his head against the window and Lily events have a little bit of car sickness which...

"Uh...I think...lily got sick" said Lincoln as Lily has little trips of vomit all over her bottom lip and a large puddle all over the middle section of the carpet. Lincoln looks down and sees the disgusting puddle and looks back at Jacob with a nervous but guilty smile "heh...sorry?"

"Uh...no that's fine... that was my fault...I should've been driving safely. I'll clean it up" Jacob then turns to Sophia with a reassuring look. "Do you need a used bathroom or are you okay cuz I don't want you to puke all over the car...well even than it already has."

"YEP!" yelled Sofia as she got out of the car while holding her mouth while gaging. He then raced all the way to the front entrance of the gas station but while she is also dizzy as her high has not worn off yet. Considering that she is currently dizzy she starts to lean a bit to the left and right and nearly falling off and hit the concrete but just as she got to the front entrance of the door she slams her head against the window entrance door making her take a step back and then shakes her head to take away the pain and then she makes a second attempt as she successfully enters the gas station.

Jacob gave a loud sigh with annoyance as he was going through a lot of stress and frustrations after going through many difficult situations where it has to go for the worst "what am I going to do? I have to deal with sis, hear my wife's rant, and have a discussion with a runaway kid" he said to himself.

"Uh...can I go to the bathroom? I need to clean lily up." Lincoln asked as he holds lily and she placed her head on Lincoln's shoulder with a tired but dizzy look on her face. Clearly, the swerve from the u-turn gave her a bit of a surprise and sickness to her stomach.

"Sure...knock yourself out...man it stinks in here, what's that smell?" Jacob asked as he sniffs around the car only to turn his head around to face the back where he noticed that Lily's diaper was full.

"That would be my sisters taking a number two...I'll be back for a minute" Lincoln got out of the car while holding Lily as she clearly wasn't looking good. Even though it was raining but Lincoln ignored it as it wasn't that serious.

Jacob then places his head on top of the steering wheel and he is clearly bit disappointed. but later the disappointment was diminished as the strong odor gone through his nostrils. He then raised his head with a cringing face "… oh god, I'm out… gotta get a little tree air freshener…"

(Meanwhile at I-77, Statesville, NC 28625 highway. 6 hours drive to Jacksonville)

Three large black vans all lined up approaching their destination to Florida Jacksonville. The ADS might be using the loud family in order to get close to their target but later do they not know is that once they reach their target and successfully eliminate Lincoln. the family will be the next target as no witnesses should be involved in this investigation and mission. But for now, they needed Lisa to point the target as Lincoln still currently has his phone with him that's something that Lincoln does not know and it's best if Lincoln doesn't know this.

Within the second vehicle in the middle of the group lies the loud family along with Albert. Even though it's hard to believe that the agency was willing to provide a bigger van that would fit more than eleven people, but what makes us more unbelievable was Albert having to hear the whole story behind Lincoln's supernatural abilities and the reasons why Lincoln took Lily to his own ears into his own mind he felt disappointment for his own daughter kicking out of his own son for be pronounced as bad luck.

"So let me get this straight...you and the rest kicked Lincoln out the house because you all believed he's bad luck? How could you?!" Albert yelled those last words does he was filled with this belief but yet utterly upset thinking how he raised his own daughter...but in order for her to kick her own family member...her own son. All he could feel a large amount of disbelief after having so much effort put into raising her own daughter that he could not think of what went wrong.

Rita jerked back a bit as she was filled with guilt but also fear as she was afraid to hear more discrimination and also correction of the error of her own ways of being a mother. the loud sisters jerked away from Albert as they were afraid and even shocked to see Albert with such harsh volume in his tone.

"Dad you're right...I'm sorry, I should've been more-"

Albert then interrupted "NO, don't apologize to me, you need to do that with your son. I understand that you learned your lesson and your horrible mistake, but you need to fix this, all of you."

All understood as they realize that Albert had a good point it's not up for them to apologize to their own grandfather, but rather is best to apologize to the person who was mistreated. But still, there is one thing that holds them back that they've tried in the past.

"How? We tried to apologize but he wouldn't listen to us…i wish we could do something." Rita claimed that her face showed many grief and sorrow. No matter how many apologies they have to make it is clear that Lincoln does not want to hear, nor accepted, as learning throughout the past that they've caused it is clear that he was not up to hearing an apology over and over again to relive the past and relive the cycle.

For Albert, he wanted to do as much as possible in order to gain Lincoln's trust to accept one last chance for the family to redeem themselves. But there could be many errors such as weather Lincoln sees Albert as another threat to his own trust "I know how you feel, but I will try to talk with him and we can fix this mistake, ok?" Albert reassured

Of course, there is one question that the lies within the fashion girl's mind "But... what will these agents going to do if we got to Lincoln?" Leni asked

"Well, they told us that they want to cure him and take some samples." Lisa answered as she looked away from her laptops and gave Leni the reassuring look.

But for Lynn, she was overwhelmed with guilt and shame to know that It was her cause and her doing for the responsible action of her brother's decision, and his rejection to accept the apologies that they all truly meant within their hearts. But most of all, she felt that it was all her fault that she influenced the whole family and proceed to change their own brother's mind...to kill a person. "I don't care about the samples, I just want Lincoln back, I... it's my fault, I really screwed up badly...I just wanted to make things right."

"We all do, sis" Lori reassured as she also felt the same way. The whole family was in the state of grief knowing that their own son/brother was rejected from the family because of their blind belief that they have thought that their own brother was merely just only a vessel of bad luck other than a human being with remorse and emotions… that they forgot what was important.

Then I also reassured ish she gave helpful point "Yeah, don't think that you're the only one who feels guilty about this."

"Well I'm glad that you've all learned Your lessons, but I don't know if he will listen to me." said Albert.

"He needs to! And you need to help us, please!" yelled Leni as she begged for her grandfather to convince her brother to come home and see how sorry the whole family were.

Luna also agreed as she also hopped from her seat "Yeah, we are heartbroken without him."

"And you need to help us fixed and put our pieces together. Hahaha, get it." Luan joked as everyone gave a loud groan of annoying says this was not a good time nor appropriate for it.

"...luan...not a good time." said Luna as she placed her hand on her face with disappointment.

They were all later interrupted as hey loud beeping noise was heard from Lisa's laptop indicating that they have found something that might lead to Lincoln's position. Lisa examines the laptop and later gave an update to her family "Mother, Lincoln is currently located in a gas station in Jacksonville FL, Blaunt-quarantine island. It seems that he may have found a vehicle to be transported."

"What!" the whole family except Lisa yelled as they were surprised to hear Lincoln was transported with a vehicle other than a bus. Considering that the Greyhound bus was the last stop he was located but also indicates that the bus was not able to drive through a gas station as it was too tall and long.

"With who? With a stranger," Lynn sr asked as he raised his voice anxiously.

"What if he's kidnapped" said Lori.

"Negative, he appeared to exit the vehicle and entered in a gas building, he's been there for almost seven minutes and forty seconds" Lisa informed

"Meaning?" Asked Lola. as she raised her arms while waving as she want s response

"He might be hitchhiking with someone." Answered Albert

"Possibly, but we can't be sure." Lisa was not able to get any read on her brother's visuals, but after having some movements to provide his pinpoint location which could help indicate his footsteps. At this point, there might be a chance for seeking redemption for their own mistakes that it was foolish to believe in a stupid superstition.

Although within Lisa's laptop it only showed up map coordinates to Lincoln's position. But forever and he did not understand what was going on or how the technology works that's where he didn't need it was hard for him to see up close to see needs to zoom in. "How do you zoom in? I can't see."

"Grandfather NO!" yelled Lisa as Albert accidentally press the button that was not meant for zooming in but rather the laptop was currently connected to Lincoln's phone. which in this case Albert accidentally called Lincoln's phone.

(Meanwhile at the gas station in Jacksonville Florida)

We can see Lincoln coming out of the gas station building as he headed back to the vehicle while Jacob and Sophia are still at the gas station. he is currently holding Lily by his left arm while he had his right arm holding a tissue and appears to be cleaning Lily's nose. it appears to be that Lily seems to be ill and yet sick during the rain considering that she didn't have anything to wear to protect herself from the rain or the heavy cold weather. That was kinda forgetful for Lincoln as he felt very worried for Lily's condition and how he could've gotten some kind of clothing to prepare for the harsh weather, but all he could do was wrap her in a blanket.

"Sorry Lily, I should have brought a luggage instead of a backpack" he felt sympathetic as he wipes the mucus of her nose as she gave a harsh sneeze that didn't sound healthy. "Ah geez, I hope I could-"

Looking was then later interrupted by vibrating feeling in the left pocket of his pants and a ringing noise. Lincoln notice that his phone was ringing but after he got to the car he opened the door and plays Lily on the seat and later proceeded to take out his phone out of his pocket and to see who was calling. "Unknown number?"

Lincoln question as he proceeds to answer the call. "Hello?"

Although for Lincoln all I heard was silence only for a moment until…

~"hi linky!"~

Lincoln swore he recognize that voice, but this voice is not something that Lincoln is pleased to hear...at all.

"What the...Leni?"

~"Leni you idiot!"~lori yelled

"Lori? How did...ah right….I forgot that you all had phones- no wait I did, but I think I forgot to toss mine away."

~"please don't!"~ Lori yelled

~"Please just listen to us for just this once, please!"~ Rita begged as well as she was desperate for a possible answer.

Lincoln sigh in irritation as he was tired of having many problems hitting his way. He didn't felt any aggression or anger as he just wants to be calm and live peacefully from all the obstacles of disasters that were just non stop smacking across his face. So he simply answered with a careless mood. "What is it?" he rolled his eyes

Look i understand that you're mad and I don't blame you, but running away?...please, i get that we force you to stay outside because of our foolish belief and it was irresponsible of us to do such thing, but we are worried sick and we couldn't live our selves without you."

His temper grew within the slightest as he was not pleased to hear the last part. He then looks back at Lily as she appears to be ready for a nap as she lays her head on the armrest. He then shut the door quietly as he proceeds to walk away from the car and where many busy cars pass and leaving heavy breezy wind that blows his hair.

"Really...can I ask you a question?" he asked as he had one question that he was ticked off for the moment he heard that upset him to the very core.

~"What is it, sweetie?"~

"...did you all taught Lily to see me a bad luck?"

~"...what?! No! I would-"~

"STOP LYING, RITA!" Lincoln screamed as he was fed up with many excuses and lies.

~"...Li-Lincoln I-...oh no...look we didn't mean to-"~

"Didn't mean what!? Teach her to see me as bad luck? But NOW you couldn't live without me?! LIES! WHY DOES THIS FAMILY ONLY MAKE LIES!?"

"Lincoln, calm yourself, I understand that you're upset and-"

"SHUT IT, LISA!" Lincoln then tried to diminish his anger as he was put to his limit. He was afraid that her baby sister would see him with such temper. He a couple of deep breaths and his anger slowly diminished as he continued to speak.

"Why is it that I'm the only one who gets the worst out of this? I understand that I made some few mistakes and all, but you all locked me out of the house!? That's unforgivable!"

~"You're right, it is unforgivable and we are so stupid to do such things-"~ luan was interrupted as lincoln has one issue he had with her.

"NO! Not only was it so stupid, but also heartless! You heard me yelled outside when I was chased by a homeless pedo...and you chose to not believe me! I could have been kidnapped, or worse!"

The Guild grew as the whole family can understand how dangerous it could be to leave Lincoln outside without any access to enter his own resistance. Lynn jr then took the call ~"Lincoln I know that you're upset and it's all my fault!...you have every right to furious at me, so please...come home"~

Lincoln didn't show any anger but gave an irritating sigh and later spoke "Lynn, I see that you're feeling well, I'm not in the mood for your-"

~"Please just listen, it's foolish to blame You for my mistake and I know you're not happy with that, I don't know if there's anything we could do to redeem ourselves."~

"Why not pester someone else and leave me alone. I need to get back with Lily and I don't want any problems that might upset me any further. I've already been through enough, but when Lily called me "bad luck"... " his anger grew as his purple pupils begin to glow and breathe heavily as tear begins to form.

~"Lincoln we didn't mean to"~

Lincoln didn't respond as he was overwhelmed with anger as he was going through the thought of hearing Lily speaking those words.

~"Let me try... Lincoln it's me"~ Albert spoke which made Lincoln snap back to reality as he was shocked to hear his own grandfather's voice. But he later sat down on the concrete sidewalk and gave a depressed look as his anger is now diminished.

"...pop pop?…no...please…just stay out of-"

~"No listen, I understand that you're upset and angry, and believe me...I'm upset as well...I know what you're going through."~

He slowly lowered his head as he was now feeling very tired...odd. he tried to maintain himself as he didn't want to fall asleep on the edge of the sidewalk in the middle of the night "no no...you don't know what I'm going through... please just let me be."

~"Lincoln, are you feeling alright?"~

"Don't worry about me...just...I just need some rest…i don't want to... just let me be…" Lincoln tried to stay awake as got up from the floor and proceeds to walk back to the vehicle. But he came to a stop as Leni took the call and said something that would make Lincoln leave his jaw wide open with shock.

~"Linky, why don't you go back inside the gas station and get yourself some water."~

"WHAT! How do you know-... Lisa is tracking me on my phone, isn't she?!

~"Leni why did you say that!?"~ yelled luan as she sounded more worried

~"what? I all I want is for Lincoln to get better while these nice agents come and cure him"~

Lincoln felt that his heart skipped a beat as he knew that a greater threat will now come across his path to peace and rest. He later looked around with a state of panic as he desperately tried to find a way to dispose of the phone to prevent any trace of his findings. He found it...he was starting at a manhole cover in the middle of the street that might be the perfect for disposal. He quickly ran towards the busy road and came to a stop as the cars pass through his path.

~"Lincoln are you there?"~ Albert spoke as he felt worried for the long moment of silence.

As the road came to a clearer Lincoln ran to the middle of the road ask his eyes glowed the manhole cover then floated up and they move to the side giving an opening to the sewer. Even though it's currently raining Lincoln could see the the bottom only to see strong water currents streaming through the left side of the road, away from where Lincoln came from. Lincoln answered the call for the last time before he could toss the phone into the sewer.

"Pop pop...I just wanted you to know that...I will miss you...and if you really want me to put my family's sorrow and pain away...then I forgive them...but I still believe that they're still incapable and the lies will just keep coming...I just can't have that, bye" without hanging up he slowly moves the phone away from his ear and lifts his arm outwards to proceed to drop the phone. As the phone dropped to the strong water stream, Lincoln, levitated the manhole again and placed it back to its original place.

"...I need a new phone...that phone isn't cheap…" he said as he slowly walked back to the car and slowly his vision started to get blurry a bit. "God...is this how my powers work if I get angry?...no wonder I feel the desire for rest...I need a burger"

To be continued…
