Guest: Maggie's cousin was just there to have an explanation of why she was at that party. The answer if she will be part of the harem is no. She had told Luan that she is a lesbian. I just don't feel it with the LincolnxMaggie ship. So if you had hoped for that, I'm sorry. I just like the LuanxMaggie ship more.
Guest: At every end of an ark, there will be some sort of a recap chapter. They're called "The talk." So after the second part of this chapter, there will be The talk Part 3. But this one will be a little different from 1 and 2.
So we finally made it. The chapter I had in mind for so long by now. This is very important for me because we finally will find out about Isaac's true identity. I'm incredibly curious about what you all think about it. So I hope I get a lot of your thoughts and opinions. We also will find out why Lynn is so much against the relationship of her siblings. And also will we come to a conclusion about the rest of the sister and if they might join the harem or not.

Chapter 64
No more secrets Part 1
"What were you thinking!?" asks an angry Lincoln loudly.
He was in the living room, his arms crossed, and with a stern look at his sister Lynn.
The athletic girl sits on the couch with a bruised face.
"I just did what I needed to do because you're on the way to destroy this family!"
It looks like we have missed the context. So let us rewind this whole situation a bit, shall we?
The family was out of the house to do some errands. Only Lincoln and Lynn stayed home.
Lynn didn't need anything, and Lincoln was still sound asleep from the party last night.
Since he was still sleeping as they had arrived back home, Leni was taking him into her room.
Some of her sisters wanted to object, but Leni was like a lioness who was protecting her cub.
As she laid her little brother on her bed, he woke up again. He didn't want to sleep in his costume. So he was going into his room to change and after that coming back to her.
While he was changing, had Lynn approached him.
"Well, 'little' brother? How was the party? Did you meet someone interesting?"
Lincoln was still quite sleepy, and so he hadn't thought about what he says. "Huh? Oh, no. I had the wrong gender for the girls there," he answers with a slight laugh.
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"Most of them were probably lesbians. It was an LGB..." Lincoln nearly fall asleep again while answering his sister.
"WHAT?" Lynn becomes angry in just a split of a second.
"Lynn, be quiet. It is late, and the younger ones are already asleep," says Luna annoyed and also very sleepy from her room.
After everyone was away, Lynn was going into Lincoln's room. He was still sleeping in Leni's bed, but he let his phone back in his room.
"This brick, he'll get what he deserves."
Lynn was sending Isaac a message from Lincoln's phone, pretending it comes from him. She was asking him to meet him in the backyard.
To her luck, was he responding quickly with an "I'm on my way."
She takes a last check if Lincoln still is sleeping and then goes into the backyard, preparing herself for Isaac.
As Isaac arrives, he was surprised to find Lynn instead of Lincoln.
"Where is Lincoln?" he just asks her.
"He sleeps like a baby. You know why I called you here."
He raises an eyebrow. "When you want something, why not sending me a message from your phone?"
"Stop pretending to be ignorant! You have lied to me. You never wanted to find another girlfriend for him!"
"So, I was right. You know about it. Plotting against your own siblings, that's low."
"Low? Low!? You're the one that supports this sick shit!"
"And what do you want to do against it? Instead of exposing them, you asked me about a favor. So, chances are high that you do nothing."
"Oh, I show you nothing!" Lynn goes into her fighting stance.
"Tsk, do you really think I'll fight you?"
"What? Are you afraid that I'll kick your butt?"
"As if. You train like crazy, so it wouldn't be a shame to lose against you."
Isaac wasn't the type of guy you can make angry so easily.
"I always wondered why you're such an asshole. I bet it's because your parents don't love you. Are you one of those with a drunken dad that beats the shit out of you? And a mother that always looks away, so she doesn't get hit? Is your mom sleeping with other guys to make a living?"
"Or maybe she sucks goat cocks in hell," he just responds sarcastically. "Do you want to fight me that badly that you insult people you don't even know?"
Is she really willing to go that far? She knows how it felt if someone is insulting your family. Lynn wasn't proud of herself. But she has to get him mad. She has to make things right again.
"All right," says Isaac. "If you really want that, then have it your way. But let us make this a bit more interesting."
"What do you mean?"
"Do you remember our little game in the park? But this time, you will keep your side of the bet."
"Again, this shit with becoming Lincoln's servant? You're boring."
"Oh, no. This time there is more at stake. The loser has to stay away from Lincoln for the rest of their life."
"What?" Lynn's eyes widen as she hears that.
Staying away from Lincoln, forever? Lynn wasn't pleased with her siblings being in a relationship. But never coming close to her brother again, that was too much. She has to win. There is no other option.
He closes his hoodie and also goes into a fighting stance.
"Shouldn't you take off what might get in the way?" she says mockingly.
"Like you did with your dick?"
Lynn growls at Isaac. "You are so dead!"
And with that, she charges at him. Of course, it was easy for him to dodge her attack.
Lynn breathes in deeply. Focus, Lynn. When your anger gets the better of you, you make mistakes.
Her next attack was preciser, but Isaac was still able to block it.
"How about you start to fight back? Or don't you dare to hit a girl?"
She strikes some more punches at him, which he blocks all. But then, she swings around and delivers a kick right into his side.
Isaac falls on his knees, holding his side.
"Aren't so tough anymore, eh?"
He stands up again. "You should keep your breath for fighting, not for talking."
Now he begins to attack her. Like a boxer, he throws one punch after another at her.
She dodges his attacks as good as she can and blocks those she can't dodge.
As she ducks right under one of his punches, she tackles him to the ground. And then, she hits Isaac hard right in the face.
He struggles first, but then he manages to knock her off of him.
Both get up quick. But Isaac was a bit quicker and was able to grab her shirt.
Before she could react, he gave her a headbutt. Lynn stumbles backwards in pain. But Isaac wasn't finished yet. His fist comes in a wide swing from the side.
With a painful grunt, Lynn goes to the ground.
Both are out of breath. Issac stands above Lynn. "You might be extremely stubborn. But I'm too. You want to get into the way of your own brother's happiness. That means I have to beat the shit out of you, so you stay away from him as far as possible."
"As if I would ever lose against someone like you!" with a strong kick against Isaac's leg, she gets him back on his knees.
Quickly, she gets back on her feet, grabs Isaac's head, and forces her knee into his face.
She spits out some blood. "Stay! On! The! Ground!"
Isaac laughs. "Or what? Do you wanna kill me? This fight can go on forever. We're both too stubborn to lose."
"Do you really think I would let you get between my family and me!? I know that what I'm doing is fucked up. But that's incest too!"
Like it was nothing, Isaac stands up again, wipes the blood away that comes out of his nose, and looks at Lynn.
"As I said. Less talking, more fighting."
Again are both going in fighting position and charging at each other as...
"STOP! You two, stop this madness!" Lincoln comes out of the door and shouts angrily at them.
"L-Lincoln."
"Man, you really was tired when it had taken you so long to wake up from all the noise."
"What the fuck is wrong with you two!? Why are you fighting?"
"It's—"
"Lynn knows about your secret and is trying to end it," interrupts Isaac.
"What? Is that true?" asks Lincoln her shocked.
"No!" She looks at the ground, "Yes."
"Wha- Why-" Lincoln is out of words. He sighs, "Wait in the living room for me." He sounded angry. Well, it isn't that surprising.
"What you're doing is—"
"I said. Wait. For. Me!"
Like a little child that is sent to bed without dinner, Lynn goes with a lowered head into the house.
"Well, you really know how to handle your sisters, dude."
"Are you nuts!? You just can't hit my sister!"
"She isn't a fragile flower. I mean, look at me. She totally knows how to fight."
Isaac got a black eye from the fight and some several smaller bruises here and there.
"That doesn't mean that you can fight with her! Even she is trying to make me break up with the others, she is still my family. What kind of friend are you?"
"You're way too nice for this world. You can't always just talk your problems away. You wanna know how I know that she is doing that? She asked me to get you together with Ellie."
"That- that doesn't matter right now. I think it's better if you leave now. And don't come near my sisters again," Lincoln says, and with that also goes back in the house.
"Just great," says Isaac annoyed to himself. "I did it once again."
Lynn sits on the couch, and her face hurts. As she pokes with just one finger against her burning cheek, she flinches.
"Ouch. I have to admit, Isaac knows how to give a good fight."
"I can't believe you," says Lincoln while walking in. He throws a pack of frozen peas to her, "Catch."
Lynn catches it with ease and puts it on her face. "Ah, thanks, man."
"Was this really necessary? Isaac is older and taller than you. That could have ended badly for you."
"No one beats the unbreakable Lynn-sanity. And you know that things like age and size don't make that much of a difference. I was whooping his ass."
"He had come from a party last night. He was probably as tired as I am."
"You mean, he wasn't at its best right now?" asks Lynn, a bit shocked.
"Yeah. And he was still keeping up with you. What do you thi—Oh no. I know that face. Don't think about it."
Lincoln could read it in her eyes. It wasn't a fair fight, and Lynn wants it to be that. So she already thinks about fighting against him again.
"Just tell me, is it true? Had you asked Isaac to get me together with Ellie?"
With some shame in her eyes, she looks away from her brother. "Yes. I asked him about this."
"What were you thinking!?" he asks loudly.
"I just did what I needed to do because you're on the way to destroy this family!"
"Destroy the family? What are you talking about?"
"You fuck your own sisters. What do you think would mom and dad say when they find out!? What would the neighbors say when this all is coming out!?"
"I hadn't sex with anyone of them! They are way too young for that."
"But Luna isn't! It's just a matter of time until you fall over her like an animal!"
"Are you listening to yourself? This is ridiculous. I would never do this. I can understand that you are disgusted about me, but are you really thinking I'm like this?"
"All guys are the same! I thought you're different, but I was wrong!"
"Just ask them yourself. They were the ones that had come to me, that had confessed their feelings. I tried to hide it, to deny that I wanted to be more to them as just their brother."
"You simply could have said no to them! But as soon as you had seen your chance, you had taken it!"
Lincoln sighs, "I should have known it. You're like Ronnie."
"What!?"
"You just see in me what you want to see and not who I really am. She just had seen me as someone you couldn't take seriously and you see me as a monster. Don't you think I had thought that too? I wanted to kill myself because I thought I'm a monster. I wanted to protect them from me!"
Lynn's eyes widened as she hears that. "But, but I thought you tried because..."
"Not that day. After that, I tried it a second time. Took a sharp knife and was on the way into the woods to do it. You wanna know the funny part about that?"
"THERE IS NO FUNNY PART ABOUT YOU TRYING TO KILL YOURSELF!"
He could see the hurt in her eyes, the betrayal. Now it was his face that was showing shame.
"The person that had stopped me from doing it that night. It was Damien. The guy that attacked me just a few days later."
"Wha- Why? How? I don't understand."
"Looked like he wanted to figure out where I live, so I had stumbled upon him. He wants me to be miserable but not dead."
"I can't believe it. So that means I have to thank that psycho too?"
"Thank him?"
"I... I don't hate you, Lincoln. I don't want you to get kicked out from home because of this all. I don't want to lose you. I... don't want... to see you as a monster."
"Then why do you do it? What makes you think that I am one? You said all guys are the same. What do you mean with that?"
"Do you really wanna know!? Do you really want to hear how I was used by this motherfucker!?"
"Used?" Lincoln got pale. The very idea of something like that made his whole stomach turn upside down.
"Do you remember Francisco?"
"Yeah, you had a crush on him."
"After that whole letter debacle, I tried my luck. He said yes, and we started dating. But, already after a week, he wanted to have sex with me. I wasn't so sure at first, but I thought he was the right one. So we had done it. The next day was everyone laughing at me in school. He had told everyone how he 'tamed me.' I was just a trophy for him and nothing more. He even made fun of me too. Said he was surprised that I was able to moan so feminine as he fucked me. He thought I would grunt more like a guy."
Lincoln was stunned by what his sister is telling him. His arms had unfolded and were at his sides. His hands made into fists, shaking from pure anger.
"I was so hurt that I didn't want to get out of my room for a full month," continued Lynn.
"Wait, I remember. You hadn't talked with one of us in the time, only mom. She told us that your 'special time' had started and that it was bothering you so much."
"I didn't want that one of you knew what had happened. I had only told mom about that."
"Why? Why hadn't you talked with us? We would have been there for you. We would have—"
"Killed him. Believe me, I would have loved to see Lori and Luna tore him apart. But... I was feeling so weak. And I didn't want you guys to see me like that."
"Lynn. How could we ever see you as weak? You're the strongest and toughest of us all."
Lynn blushed a bit as he said that. "Well, I'm definitively the toughest. But I still believe that Leni is somehow stronger than me. Maybe I should try sewing too. Presumably, that's what gives her that bearish strength."
Lincoln laughs about her comment. "Maybe she had fallen into one of Lisa's potions." Both are laughing now, and Lincoln sits down beside his sister. "But I can't believe that he had done that to you. And that he has gotten away with it."
"Who says he got away with it?"
"Isn't he going into another school now? I hadn't seen him once in there."
"Why do you think that is so? Mom had talked with the principal and Francisco's parents about it. They were so ashamed of him that they have sent him into a school for troubled teens. One of the most strict and toughest ones, as far as I had heard."
"Ouch. Wouldn't say he doesn't deserve it. So, that is the reason for all this?"
Lynn nods.
"I'm not Francisco. I would never do something like that to any one of you. And I would never force one of you to anything. If you don't can't return my feelings, then that's fine by me. But please, don't try to destroy their luck."
Lynn looks confused at Lincoln. "Their luck? Didn't you mean yours?"
"It is mine too, yeah. But you know me. I'm more concerned about them and their feelings than mine."
"That is so typic—Wait a second. Did you just say that you're in love with me too?"
He laughs nervously and scratches his cheek. "Well. I am in love with all of my sisters. But as I said, it is okay when you just see me as your brother."
Lynn doesn't know what to say about that. Until she jumps up like a scared chicken. "I eh, I need to go to the eh, to the bathroom. Smell you later, Stinkin." And faster as a cheetah, she ran upstairs.
As everyone got home again, they asked Lynn why she looked so beaten up. She told them that she had fought some guys that bullied a poor dog.
Nearly an entire week has passed, and Lincoln still hasn't contacted Isaac.
As Lucy asked her brother why Isaac isn't showing up anymore, he just avoided her question and told her to stay away from him by now.
She wasn't dumb. She put two and two together and figured out that there had to be a fight between Isaac and Lynn.
But she still was sticking to her story about the dog she rescued.
But she has to talk with Isaac. After some conversations with her sisters and Haiku about the redheaded, young man, she had everything she needed.
Meanwhile, had another sister nearly a mental breakdown.
Since her little date with Bobby felt Lori like she was the worst person on earth. She has a boyfriend, but she doesn't get her brother out of her mind.
"What kind of girlfriend am I that I think about another boy? How can I do this to Bobby? What should I do? I need to get Lincoln out of my head, but how?"
Lori was so frustrated about herself. She felt bad for Bobby for doing this to him. He was too nice to deserve that. It might not be much for others, but for her, it is like she is cheating on him.
"He deserves better."
Lori made a decision. If she doesn't get Lincoln out of her system again in one week, she will do the unspeakable.
She gets out of her room and to Luna's.
"Hey, eh Luna. Could we talk? Alone?"
Luna sits in her beanbag, strumming at her instrument. "Sure, dude."
"Well, I let you two all by yourself then," says Luan. She passes Lori and goes then downstairs for some TV.
"I want to ask you something. Do you remember as we two had a crush on Lincy?"
"Eh, yeah. Why do you ask?" Has she still a crush on the little dude too?
"How... how had it ended for you? I mean, how exactly had you overcome it?"
Luna raises an eyebrow. "Why do you ask that? Do you have a crush on him again?"
"No! No! Of course not. Don't be ridiculous. I just want... How, how do you get someone out of your system when you know you can't have him?"
"Well. Sooner or later, it usually goes away on its own."
"But what if it doesn't will go away on its own? What if this person is on your mind all the time?"
"Lori. Had you fallen for someone else than Bobby?"
With shame and guilt falls Lori down on her knees. "Oh, Luna. I'm such a bad girlfriend."
"Whoa, whoa." Luna gets up and rushes to her older sister. "Don't be so hard to yourself. No one of us can control their feelings."
"But I think about him more than about my own beloved boyfriend."
"Sometimes, things change. This is life, dude."
Luna tried to comfort Lori, and they both were talking all day about love, their feelings, and relationships.
It was Friday night, and Lucy was, like every week in the Black Coffee. She sits at a table and is more or less listening to the poems recite from the stage.
She wasn't really able to concentrate. Her mind is circling around Isaac the whole day.
And like she had summoned him with her thoughts, he shows up right in front of her.
"Hey, little queen of the night. How's it going?"
"Oh. Eh, hello, Isaac." She got a little bit scared as he had dragged her out of her thoughts.
As she sees his black eye, she had the confirmation about the theory of him and Lynn having a fight the other day.
"Knows your brother that you're here?"
"Yes, he does, in fact, know where I am at the moment."
"And does he know that I'm here?"
"Yes."
Isaac gives her a doubting look. "Does he know that I am here at the same time as you?"
Lucy was quiet for a moment before she answers, "No."
"Lucy, the little rebel. Who would have thought?"
"I... I need to ta—"
Someone wanted to order another cup of coffee, so Isaac has to leave Lucy again.
"Sorry, Luc. Work is calling. Quite literally. If you want to talk, wait for me at the back entrance after the Poem Night is over."
She nods. It is in her own interest to be alone with him anyway.
"Wait a second. Had he called me Luc? Oh my." Her whole face got red.
The night goes on, one after another is giving a taste of their poetic skills, except for Lucy. She wouldn't be able to recite anything right now.
As the last guest is leaving closes Isaac the Door. He still has to clean the cafe.
Lucy was waiting for him in the small alley, where Isaac smokes secretly in his breaks.
"Who we have here? Are you all alone?" a voice says.
As she turns around, Lucy sees a boy, probably just one or two years older than her.
"Eh, can, can I help you? Th-the Poem Night is already o-over."
"Hm, maybe we could help each other. Such a fine and beautiful lady like you shouldn't be all by herself at such a time."
"I, I w-wait for m-my boyfriend. I-I'm not al-alone." Lucy got scared by the boy.
"Forget him." He comes closer to her. "What boyfriend let his beautiful girl wait alone at such a place?"
Lucy wanted to get away from him, but a wall stopped her quickly. He leans with his hand against the wall, right beside her head so she couldn't walk away from him that easily.
"Come on. I am ten times better than your lousy boyfriend. I can give you pleasure you never felt before."
Lucy got even more scared as a dark shadow with red glowing eyes appeared right behind him.
"I think the young lady said clearly no to you!" the shadow said in an almost demonic voice.
"Huh?" The boy wanted to turn around to see who is talking with him. "Look, pal. You better just leave us a—"
Before he could finish, he got grabbed by the back of his head.
"Just listen, 'pal!' Leave her alone, or you gonna have a bad time!"
As the shadow comes closer to the guy, Lucy can see that it was Isaac. He has a firm grip on the boy and looks him closely in the eyes.
"Of, of c-course I-I'll le-let her a-alone," he says with a trembling and scared voice. Frightened, he forces a fake laugh out of him, "I, I just w-wanted to m-make s-sure that s-she is o-okay. I, I think I'll g-go now."
Isaac lets him go and as if death himself is after the boy, he runs for his life.
"T-thank you, Isaac," Lucy says. She still was a bit scared by him.
"Some people nowadays. He can be happy that I let him go. Sorry about that. Should have kept you waiting inside instead."
"It is all right."
"No, it's not. Who knows what he might have done if I wasn't here. Come, let us talk inside."
He let her in the cafe.
"Do you want some tea to come down again?"
"Would you not get in trouble?"
"Don't worry. I know that you don't steal or break stuff. And as long as I pay for your tea, I wouldn't get in trouble."
Isaac goes behind the counter to make some tea for Lucy.
"All right, so what had brought you here tonight? Do you want to find out why I hadn't come to you guys this week?"
"I am curious about what exactly had happened between you and Lynn. But that is not the reason why I am here. I want to talk with you about something important."
"Okay, what is it? We are all alone."
"I have wondered for so long who you really are. You just work here for nearly half a year now. But you have a very expensive-looking car. No one in the town knows you nor that you exist, and still, you know enough people to have eyes and ears everywhere. And those people that had heard of you are afraid of you to no end."
"You still are trying to figure out the mystery around me? Am I that interesting to you?"
Lucy blushes, but she knows that she has to stay focused. "It was always strange for me why you are helping Lincoln so much. But now I have figured it out. I have the proof right here," she says as she grabs a book out of her backpack.
"A proof? And what might it be? I'm pretty curious now about what you think you have found out about me."
"It all makes sense now. Nobody really noticed how you moved into your house two years ago. No one had seen someone else coming out of your home. No one knows where you had come from."
She opens the book, in it are dates and lots of information.
"Okay, okay. I know you like it dramatic, but could you please come to the point?"
"Two years ago, Haiku and I had tried to summon a demon, as we tried for so often. But it had not worked, also as so often. Disappointed, we had left my room to grab something to eat. As we returned, was my room trashed. We had summoned something. But it had some sort of delay, and so it had shown up while we were downstairs."
Isaac laughs, "And now you think I'm that demon you had summoned that day?"
"Yes. That is why you are helping Lincoln. It was me who had brought you to this realm. You have told Lynn that there is a voice in your head that you have to obey. That day, as Damien had attacked Lincoln, I pleaded you to help him. To save him. That was my unintended command on you, and now you are following it."
Isaac's laughter dies, and he looks at her earnestly. "Your little book is the only thing that you have as your so-called proof. Anything else is just pure speculation."
"You have beaten down an entire football team without getting hurt yourself."
"I already told your sister that wasn't me. You have seen me fighting. I'm not some kind of monster."
"Lynn does not believe it. She said you are a better fighter than you let it show through. And I think you have hold yourself back in the woods so we wouldn't find out that you are a demon."
The young man comes from behind the counter. "Have you told someone about your little theory?"
"I have told Haiku about it. She also thinks that you could be something other than human. She was the one that also showed me that you can speak multiple languages."
He laughs again, but very quietly to himself. "Ach, Lucy. Du schlaues, kleines Mädchen."
For some reason, it sends shivers down her spine as he speaks german again.
He makes two steps towards her.
"You always show up in the right moments when my family and I are in trouble. And that right now in the alley? It is absolutely clear to me. There is no single doubt."
Isaac doesn't say anything about it anymore. He just is walking at Lucy.
"W-wait, I-Isaac. What are you up to?"
"Nothing. Nothing at all."
He comes closer and closer.
Lucy got scared. This was a bad idea. Of course, he wants to keep it a secret. "St-stop. I order you to stay where you are!"
In an instant, he stops like an invisible force is holding him in place.
Frightened, Lucy breathes heavily. "On... on your knees!"
And again. Without a word, he does as she orders him.
He sighs, "As you wish... my mistress. Looks like my days of freedom are over again."
Lucy's eyes widened as she realizes that she has her own demonic servant now.
What a twist. Who knows what Lucy would do with a demon at her side. World domination? Punishing those who had wronged her family? Having a hellish good BBQ? We will see next week in the second part.
Question to you, my dear readers. What would you do with a demonic servant?
Stay tuned and have a great day.
