In a small neighborhood of Royal Woods, all the neighbors of certain house where a la fairly large family lived wondered how it was possible that the usual never ending chaos was not present, with the passing of the months, and even years, they had already learned to live with the Louds and their way to give honor to to their last name, it was inevitable to simply not notice how quiet the house was at that moment.
None of them knew at that precise moment, almost the entire family was watching a completely unconscious and tied up boy on the couch, he had a huge lump in the head, none of them could see it clearly since the white hair was doing a good job hiding it, Rita Loud, after having punished her princess daughter and sent her to her room, she then treated the wound of that boy herself. Being completely honest, she was upset for what her daughters and son told her about the boy who was now on her couch but as a mother and responsible figure, she knew Lola went too far that day in the restaurant. About 15 minutes had passed since the boy was knocked out when Lori returned with Luna from a concert, her sisters and brother immediately told them what had happened, the two girls didn't want to lose time to find the boy and give him a good lesson but abandoned the idea when they saw him lying on the sofa and being cared by their mother, not to mention like her, both agreed that Lola got too far with the boy as well. After what seemed like hours of watching, it was Luna who decided to break the ice:
-Wow! He really looks like Lincoln!
-Yes. . . they could even be twins- Added Lana
-But. . . Are you sure tie him up was absolutely necessary? Luna said.
-Of course, He tried to hit Lincoln, this guy is a is a wild animal- Lana responded
-But Linky tried to hit him first, ¿Doesn't that count as personal defense?- Leni said, surprising everyone for her incredible good comment.
-Even so, I don't think he will be very happy when he wakes up, the rope doesn't seem a bad idea to me, at least until we are sure he will not attempt to do something foolish- Lori said.
All the others nodded in agreement, not to mention they finally were looking at the famous Lincoln's double, they still were having problems believing how the boy was identical to their beloved brother, the same was happening with Rita and Lynn Sr., they both knew this boy was not their son, he was just a boy who happened to be very similar to their only boy, but they still could not help but feel a strange feeling toward him, almost familiar. Especially with Rita, she couldn't explain why, but when she saw him for the first time, she immediately had the strangest feeling of wanting to protect him just like she protects her other daughters and son. The situation was very heavy.
Both parents had no idea that the same feeling was going through the head of his only son. Lincoln; not taking off his gaze away from the unconscious boy, he obviously was still angry for what he had done to Lola but also felt ashamed for the way in which he acted a while ago, he could have managed things better and maybe the guy would not be in that state now, he felt like a fool, acting on impulse. . .This was not him! But as always, when a problem has something to do with the security or integrity of any of his sisters, he would lose his "man with the plan" role and would act on impulse.
-Seriously. . . Who are you?- He asked the boy in a low voice, he knew he wouldn't answer but even so, the doubt was eating him alive, he didn't understand yet how this guy had his face, there was no case to continue lying saying that they were "similar" that was not the case, they literally were identical, in a short time. Sr. Loud came down from the second floor, he just had a heated discussion with his little princess, and the girl insisted that she had only adjusted unfinished business. All of a sudden, Brandon started to open his eyes, murmuring and complaining in pain.
-Awwww, my head. . .I don't know what happened. . . But I do know tomorrow I'll literally beat someone to a pulp- He said to himself as he sat up, it took almost nothing for him to realize his movements were restricted, he completely opened his eyes and immediately met 11 pairs of eyes on him, seven girls of different ages, the boy with his face, two parents and a baby in the lady's arm. He recognized all of them but two, one looked like a kind of punk rock star, perhaps about fifteen or sixteen years old and the other other one was a pretty blond girl, almost as pretty as the "DRESSMAKER" for a moment he wondered who could they be but after what he had seen, it didn't took too much time to deduce those girls were also Lincoln's sisters, he sighted and shook his head.
-To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if the baby is also a sister- He thought.
Brandon kept watching those people for a few more seconds, getting bored quickly, he decided to speak.
-What are you looking at?- the young man said defiantly.
Everyone gasped in surprise for a moment but remained calm. Being the Alpha sister, Lori replied:
-We are looking at you girl hitting twerp!
Brandon raised an eyebrow and looked back at them, they weren't happy, that was a fact.
-Girl hitting…? Ahhhhhh you mean what happened with the little brat who thinks herself a princess?
-That "little brat" is called Lola, an innocent six years old you spanked without reason!- Lana yelled.
All the sisters and Lincoln nodded in agreement, Brandon watched them once more in silence. It didn't take long for him to deduce what was going on. A small smile was formed in his face.
-(Sigh) Ok, let me guess, she invented a very good convenient story about how I am a cruel Ogre who spanked her without any provocation, while she was only an innocent victim of the circumstances. . ..Right?
All the Louds' expressions slowed down a little after hearing that, they nervously looked at each other, Brandon smiled again, with a quick movement, he managed to adopt a sitting position on the couch.
-I so love to be right, ok! I admit I have some curiosity, so let's hear it. ¿What is that little demon's side of the story?
Lori had to work hard not to slapping the boy, trying to be the best example for her sisters and brother, she calmly told Brandon what Lola had told them. Brandon couldn't help but close his eyes and laughing quietly. Angering the Louds in the process.
-Well, I guess it shouldn't surprise me she lied, I should had spanked her a little more, that shameless brat!
At that moment, Lincoln couldn't resist it anymore, just after Brandon said that, with his closed fist, he struck the his cheek, all the girls sighed in astonishment while his mother cried out his name, Brandon fell on the sofa again and looked at his aggressor.
-Shut up! You will not say anything like that about my sisters!
Brandon sat back on the couch and said:
"Hehehehe, boy. . . I'm not sure if it was for growing up among so many girls, but I have to tell you this. You have girly hands.
Lincoln once again tried to hit Brandon but this time in the nose, Brandon saw it coming and moved his head to the side and with an even faster movement, taking advantage of Lincoln's carelessness, he head butted Lincoln's forehead directly, he fell to the ground very sore and brought his hands to the impacted area. Her sisters immediately attended their beloved brother while Rita and Lynn Sr only observed in horror, Brandon was pleased, but of course, it didn't last long because another blow was delivered to his other cheek, courtesy of Lynn Jr. this time.
-Ok. . . I have to admit I felt that…- He said watching the athlete girl panting in anger. The rest of the girls also looked pissed but she was different, her eyes looked as if lasers would come out of them directly to him, it was quite clear this girl was very close to Lincoln. Lynn was not proud of what she had just done, as a proud sport girl, she knew attacking someone who couldn't defend themselves was low but this boy had hurt Lincoln, and her sense of protection to her brother was the one that acted. With violence as always.
Out of nowhere, Rita intervened before things escalate more, she couldn't continue watching the scene in front of her, it was like watching her daughters as soldiers torturing a war prisoner.
-Ok girls! Enough Already! I know all of you are angry but I think all of you forgot the most important thing here! So now I will be the one who ask questions.
All her children and husband only nodded their heads, knowing it would be foolish to try to go against Rita Loud, all of them immediately sat down where they could except Lori who proceeded to go search her genius sister to her room, she felt she had to be there, she was Loud sister too after all. Rita only saw Lori leave but didn't pay much attention, now her eyes were focused on Lincoln's double. She quickly noticed a small trickle of blood coming out of his mouth, she noted to scold Lynn for that later, for a moment, she thought the boy would break in front of her, but the boy didn't share a single tear, he only looked at her with serious eyes, ¿Was he used to being hurt? The thought of it made her shudder a little. . . he was only a child, just like her little angel. Her mother's instinct activated at that moment, she pulled out a small handkerchief from her pocket and tried to wipe out Brandon's mouth, at first; he tried to move his face to avoid contact with the handkerchief, if there was something that Brandon did not tolerate, was people pitying on him, as expected, being 90% movement limited, the handkerchief ended in his mouth, gently and carefully, Rita wiped the blood while Brandon looked toward another direction, Ms. Loud could almost swear to have seen a small blush on her now a little swollen cheek, relieved there was no serious damage in the boy, a warm smile adorned her face.
-Very well, I will ask a few questions, I hope you can answer them ¿okay?
-…-
-Ok. . . First question ¿What is your name?
-…..-
-Come on sweetie, don't be like that with me, I understand that you don't want to talk with my daughters or even show challenging with them but I am an adult and you are a child, I wish to have some respect and cooperation from you.
Brandon stared at the lady again, he really hated not being able to respond to such a good statement, feeling a little defeated, Brandon spoke up.
-My name is Brandon
-Brandon…-She muttered.
-I imagine you must be Mrs. Rita
Rita was a little surprised to hear that.
-And how do you know that?
-Mrs. Smith wrote your name next to your home address, I came here to cut your lawn ¿Remember?
Rita blinked a couple of times until finally recalled -Ohhhhhh!- She knew she had heard that name before- You are the famous Brandon! The working boy of other side of town! My friend Brenda Smith speaks a lot about you
-Thanks for the compliment and yes! That's me.
-You are welcome, second question ¿Who are your parents?
-I stopped asking me that questions years ago.
The whole family gasped in surprised after hearing that, Rita was no exception, with her hands covering her mouth, she observed the boy with serious look in front of her.
-Don't tell me… they…
-Sorry lady, I really don't want to be rude but that is all the information you will get from me regarding those two bastards, so please ¿next question?
Rita wanted to continue inquiring about that topic, but the look of Brandon was enough to know he was talking very seriously when he said he wouldn't say anything else, she knew he wasn't lying, raising 11 children helped to almost become a walking lie detector. Leaving the issue for "after" she continued with her questions.
-. . . Ok ¿How you ended up in this situation?
-¿Why don't you ask your beautiful daughter over there?- the boy replied while he pointed to Leni. The whole family turned to see the girl who was watching Brandon a little angry, still annoyed for what he had said about her clothes.
-Leni, sweetie; ¿Could you tell us what happened? Said Lynn Sr.
-¿Me? But. . .But, Ok! I think it all started when I was doing a tasty smoothie in the kitchen, it was of pineapple with a touch of peach, I was thinking of my new line of children's clothing, so I wanted to ask Lincoln for his help but I remembered he was not at home, after that I heard the bell on the door and someone being electrocuted by the doorbell, I thought it had to be someone who didn't lived around here since all of our neighbors know they should not touch that doorbell, I stood up to go open the door but I remembered I had to finish my Smoothie, I felt a little confused of what to do first, since it is not good to leave someone waiting but I seriously wanted to finish my Smoothie but I also remembered our father always says…
-ENOUGH ALREADY!- Shouted a very irritated Brandon- Seriously! Shut up already! I believe everyone here, or at least me! Don't give a damn about all those details!- ignoring the girl clearly hurt by his words, Brandon turned to see the Loud Family.
-Ok! This is the short version and without any stupid and unnecessary detail, I knocked the door, I was confused with Lincoln for that cute and not very bright girl, then by the rest of the sisters, they chased after me, I got cornered, I said a few words and finally I was about to leave, I found myself with Lincoln and you, and to end this sad story, I got knocked out and here we are, ¿Happy?
When he finished his story, Leni simply used her hands to cover her eyes already wet and quickly ran to her room, the family saw her leaving very sad, soon everyone, including Rita and Lynn Sr turned to look at Brandon clearly upset.
-You are a little idiot you know that?- Luna said.
-I rather being a little idiot than become crazy by listening to that girl nonsense, by the way. You are welcome!
"Hey! You need to calm down! There is no need to be a jerk!- Said Luan in defense of Luna and Leni.
To this point, Brandon couldn't contain himself anymore:
-¿Calm down? ¿You want me to calm down?! I DIDN'T ASK FOR ANYTHING OF THIS, I JUST WANTED TO EARN A FEW DOLLARS BY DOING HONEST WORK! THEN MAYBE RELAX OR EVEN PLAY A LITTLE IN THE ARCADE! BUT NOOOOOOOOOO, I HAD TO COME TO A NUT HOUSE, I WAS KIDNAPPED, CHASED! ALMOST FORCED TO DO THINGS THAT THEY WANTED TO DO! KNOCKED OUT BY A LOW BLOW ON THE HEAD, BY THE WAY, WHOEVER WHO DID THAT, LET HER KNOW THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES! AND NOW I AM TIED UP WHILE I AM QUESTIONED AND BEATEN, SO NO! I'M NOT GOING TO CALM DOWN! DON'T YOU DARE TELL ME TO CALM DOWN YOU DUMB AND UGLY GIRL!
Brandon was almost out of air, Luan, for her part, immediately brought her hands to her mouth to hide the braces, tears started to come out.
-Ugly. . .how cruel.
As Leni, Luan turned around and ran up to the second floor, everyone listened as she closed her room's door. Brandon also saw her leaving, unlike when he struck Lincoln in self-defense, he didn't feel any satisfaction this time, he even felt a bit of guilt but it wasn't like he cared too much, he was almost sure he would receive another blow from the athlete girl, as if he was a psychic, Lynn Loud cracked her knuckles and got ready to hit the boy again, it seemed this time she would do so without restraint, Brandon just closed his eyes in anticipation and praying to not lose a tooth this time.
-I'm glad to see that you are prepared for what is coming!- said Lynn and immediately ready her fist to hit the boy's face. However the blow never came, just a second before Lynn would bounce at least a couple of teeth, a piercing sound was heard from the second floor.
-WHAAAAAAAAAT?!- Lori Loud screamed with all her might from Lisa's room.
