Spells and Louds
Chapter 110: A Goth's Loud Birthday
(Royal Woods Cemetery)
Lucy awakens still in her PJ's all alone in the cemetery.
She looks around and sees no one in plain sight. "Okay, what the heck is going on?"
Lucy then sees she was laying on a pillow on top of a wooden coffin which had the mark of the Scourge.
Lucy gets off and touches the mark, it starts to glow with intensity and soon she is engulfed in green mist.
Then four necromancer's approach her and their staffs start to glow.
"By the name of our master, the Archlich. You Lucy Loud are no more than a new form to your new age" said the Necromancers.
The green energy disappears and Lucy was now wearing her black dress dubbed Eternal Sadness, though it looks like her other dress Vacant Tomb.
The ground underneath her starts to shake and then she ends up falling on here behind and sitting on top of a monstrous beetle-looking spider monster.
The creature roars and its wings open.
Lucy didn't know if she should be impressed or scared.
"Are you ready child?" asked the Crypt Lord. Lucy holds onto his Egyptian like collar. "I guess."
"Good" replied the Crypt Lord. He then takes to the skies and they fly off into the night.
The Necromancer's disappear as if they were being summoned elsewhere.
Lucy sees the entire town is still night time. She does know its October 30 and she knew everyone was planning on something.
(Flashback)
Lucy awakens and greets Fangs and Crobat a good morning and a happy birthday to herself.
When she gets in line for the bathroom, all of her sisters. Lori, Luan, Lynn Jr, Lana, Lola and Lisa didn't even bother to greet her.
Lucy felt like something was up and that they were planning on something.
After all of them use the bathroom and change, they all head downstairs to the kitchen and get ready for the day, it was a school day after all.
When they reach the kitchen, even the parents didn't have time to greet her. But Lucy was okay with it.
When she arrived at school she didn't even encounter any of her friends from the young morticians club. This was getting annoying and sad.
When she saw Lincoln, Linka, Timmy and Jordan she tries to talk to them. But every time she did she didn't have the chance to.
Lucy knew something was up, so she just went with it.
Throughout the whole day it was almost like she wasn't there, like she was a ghost to everyone. But she still knew something was up.
Then when she arrived home, once again no one bothered to speak to her or even realize she was there. For Lucy it was the whole ignore Lucy incident again. (Spell it out.)
So Lucy decided to go to bed early, even though nothing happened. Some part of het thought 'Maybe this is just a dream?'
And then she wakes up in the Royal Woods Cemetery.
(End Flashback)
Lucy smiles as she rides the large Crypt creature. 'I knew they were all planning something.'
Then she sees where they are going, Lucy is truly shocked. They were headed straight for Kel'Thuzad's Citadel. Naxxramas.
The large beetle-spider creature lands near a large balcony that leads to a dark area.
"Stay close child" said the creature. Lucy walked next to him as they entered the darkness.
Then blue and green torches are lit and Lucy sees her family, the Spellman's, Pop-pop, Myrtle, Their Pokemon, the Sharps, the young morticians club, Rocky, Kel'Thuzad and the Guardian.
"Happy Birthday Lucy" they all cheer. Though Kel'Thuzad spoke in a dead language.
Lucy covers her mouth with shock and amazement. The entire time her friends and family were setting up her birthday in the one place she never got to see.
"Wow! Thank you. All of you" replied Lucy.
"All of this was possible with the planning strategy of the Spellman's" said Gyro.
"They had the idea of hosting your birthday here" replied Lana.
Lucy looked around and saw all of the Cult and Scourge style in the ballroom, she then saw some undead soldiers guarding the doors and some floating candles and chandelier.
"This is awesome!" said Lucy.
"Well, I am glad you liked this child. Welcome to Naxxramas" replied Kel'Thuzad.
"I don't like it. I love it" Lucy hugs the Archlich which startles him, no one has ever hugged him before.
Kel'Thuzad smiles and returns the hug. "Happy birthday my friend, now let the entertainment. Begin!"
The large ballroom was soon filled with the ghosts of people from old times as they all waltz across the floor and instruments hover and start to play on they're own.
Lucy stands next to her Morticians club friends and they watch at the amazing view of ghosts.
Gyro uses his magic and changes Rocky's attire into something fancy and yet gloomy.
Rocky understood this and approached Lucy. "Can I have this dance?"
Lucy blushes at this offer and takes his hand and smiles.
Even though he wasn't really a Goth, The morticians club were happy for Lucy.
Rocky and Lucy waltz across the ballroom as they pass through all the ghosts, for some reason Rocky was dancing with ease and so was Lucy.
"Umm, they're just kids. How are they dancing like this?" asked Leon.
"You can say it's all a spell" replied Gyro.
"By the way, how was Rocky able to come here?" asked Sergei.
"Rusty said it was okay for him to come. He knows Rocky and Lucy are both a thing" replied Lincoln.
"We have to escort him back home later, we just need to make sure he doesn't fall into any coffins" replied Neil.
"Hey dudes. Look" said Luna.
They all see Lynn Sr trying to keep his cool in a haunted place. Even Lola was a bit freaked out.
Then Lincoln and Linka spotted the large beetle-spider creature and they immediately recognized him, they approached Kel'Thuzad.
"Archlich, is that Anub'Arak?" asked Lincoln.
Kel'Thuzad looks to Anub'Arak then to the others. "Yes, yes it is. I took the privilege of reviving an old friend. He deserves a chance to live again. But not as a slave of evil, but as a force of good and maybe he can redeem himself when he returns to Azeroth towards his Nerubian people."
"Wow! Didn't think you as the kindly type" said Gyro.
"I'm only kind to those who I call friends, not to those who I would curse to damnation" replied Kel'Thuzad as his cat jumps on his head and sleeps.
Soon the song ends and all of the dancing ghosts as well as Lucy and Rocky take a bow/curtsey.
All of the others clap at this beautiful moment. Rita and the other Louds felt happy that Luc had found her love and they danced for the first time.
They rejoin the others and feast on the food.
Some of the food was edible for humans, while the rest seemed more dead edible.
Lynn Sr had no idea what he was looking at. From the normal human food such as Steaks, Cakes, Brownies, Chicken Tenders, Blood Sausages and something that Neil brought from the Philippines, Dinuguan.
As for the undead buffet it was comprised of some fresh animal parts, some human remains, rotten vegetables, jars of blood and large still moving worms.
Good thing the tables of the food were separated. Though Leon went to try some of the undead food.
They all enjoyed chatting with each other and interacting with some of Kel'Thuzad's necromancers.
Then it was time for them to present their gifts to the now nine year old.
Lincoln was first to present a one of a kind porcelain statue of Edwin from Vampires of Melancholia.
Linka gave her a book on ancient Voodoo history.
Jordan brought her the story book of Coraline.
Leni gave her a new outfit for her to wear someday.
Luna and Sam pitched in together and gave her an iPhone containing some spooky tunes.
Lily went up to Lucy and gave her a drawing of all of them as Zombies. (How does she know this?)
Timmy brought her a video of the incident at his world with Halloween.
Sunset Shimmer gave her a small plant that might grow into something from the Everfree Forest. (Twilight told her it's completely harmless)
Lori gave her a collection of black eye liner.
Luan's was a video tape containing some old fashioned documentaries of human disasters.
Lynn Jr. got her a new poetry journal and with nice Victorian style lining on it.
Lola actually got her a small black wedding dress, (Why?)
Lana's gift was a vulture skeleton model, which she found by the side of the road.
Lisa gave her a small model of the human circulatory system.
Rita gave Lucy multiple novels of ghost stories.
Lynn Sr gave her a necklace with a Vampiric bat logo on it.
Peter gave her a holy rosary. She was confused but decided to keep it.
Gwen's gift for Lucy is a coffin that was used in the plague of the past, they really knew how to make disease proof coffins.
Leon and Sergei brought her a large mirror that was once used by a Dutch woman who died from murder. (They should keep an eye on that thing.)
Neil brought Lucy a Halloween costume that she should wear once the time was right.
The Morticians club brought to her an assortment of Goth items and poems.
Rocky gave Lucy a book on proper embalming of the body, then she kissed her cheek and both kids blushed.
Next up Gyro came to Lucy and presented to her a seal of demonic presence. It can deflect any demonic power away from her.
Then they all got out of the way for Anub'Arak. "Bring forth the corpse!"
Two Ghouls entered the room with a dead Paladin.
"Umm, what the hell is this?" asked Gyro. "This feels wrong" said Neil.
They place the corpse in front of Lucy. She gasps as well as her friends and Rocky.
"So, where are we gonna put it?" Lynn Sr whispered to Rita.
"I-I-I never had a corpse as a gift before, thank you Crypt Lord." Said Lucy.
Anub'Arak gets confused. "What? This wretched human corpse is not my gift to you."
"That's very offensive to me" replied Gyro.
"This is!" Anub'Arak's eyes start to glow and he whispers in an undead incantation.
All of a sudden the body starts to shake and twitch. Everyone gets a bit uncomfortable with this.
Then the rest of the body starts to spaz out, all of them back away waiting for what might come out.
The stomach of the body starts to form a lump and coming out covered in some blood and fluids was a kitten sized screeching Nerubian Scarab Beetle.
Everyone else screams in horror and Lynn Sr runs out of the ballroom and screams and faints when he bumps into an abomination.
Though Leon and the young morticians club thought it was cool.
The little beetle starts to walk off the body and fall to the ground on its back, it tries to get up.
Lucy kneels down and helps the little undead bug.
The scarab looks at her and then nudges at her feet, Lucy knew it liked her.
Lucy picks up the beetle and hugs it. "I'll call you shard."
The beetle squeaks and settles into the hug like a kitten.
"Looks like we got another pet in the loud house" said Lynn Jr.
"Literally disturbing, but it is Lucy's and we have to accept it" said Lori.
Lucy approaches Anub'Arak and hugs him. "Thank you oh great Traitor king."
Anub'Arak felt touched then moved her away. "I don't really do hugs. But you are an exception."
Next the Archlich approaches her. "Lucy Loud, congratulations on reaching a year older."
"Before I present my gift to you, I told the Lich King of your love and respect for the meaning of undeath. He wishes to present you with these as your gifts" said Kel'Thuzad as he looks up.
They all look up and see two large winged creatures coming down. They land in front of Lucy and hiss.
"Behold, the Lich King Bolvar Fordragon has given you control of these two gargoyles. These once great protectors of the church serve as the most dangerous aerial forces for the Scourge and now he presents these two to you. Use them wisely and they will keep you and all those you love safe" said Kel'Thuzad.
Lucy and her Scarab approach the large beasts and she places both her hands on each one and they calmed down and bowed to her.
Lucy smiles. "Wicked!" The rest of the young mortician's club approaches and the beasts also accept them.
"And there is no need to worry about feeding them. They will eat anything that's dead, so they might end up eating some dead animal somewhere or any left overs" said the ArchLich. "They do not take up any space, all you have to do is command them to turn to stone and they will sit peacefully on your house roof."
Rita sighed at that relief. Though they needed to find a way to feed them.
"And that is where we come in" said the necromancers as they approach.
"You have been a good friend to our master child. And since you lack the proper nutrition's for the gargoyles, we present to you this contraption" said the Necromancers.
They step aside and reveal a Meat Wagon. "With this it can exhume its own corpse from within and dump it out for your gargoyles to feed, it will also act as a personal mount for when you need to travel, though it's not that fast."
Lucy approaches a hideous contraption and sees the sharp blades at the front like a bulldozer, the scythe's that stick out above both wheels and attach to the main catapult, the worn out wheels that can still work and the skull on the front with its glowing green eyes.
Lucy smiles at the contraption. "This is awesome and truly a great gift."
"You are welcome child" replied the Necromancers.
Then one of them approached her. "We came up with this gift at the last second, we were planning on giving you a Frost Wyrm then we realized that was not possible."
Neil and Gyro sigh in relief. "Thank goodness you didn't."
Next the Archlich approaches her.
"I believe you have the final gift for me" said Lucy.
"Indeed" said Kel'Thuzad. His hands start to glow with dark energy and they engulf the little nine year old.
Lucy is stunned at first but then she feels like something was changing. And then the energy fades.
But nothing happened to her.
"ArchLich. What did you do?!" asked Gyro and the others.
Kel'Thuzad approaches Lucy. "Until Halloween ends, you Lucy Loud have been granted the full powers and form of the undead, you are now undead or in another word, Forsaken!"
They all gasp and look at Lucy, who still looks the same.
"Umm, why is she still short gothic and cute" said Sergei.
Then Lincoln touches her skin and she feels cold, like dead cold.
Lucy feels herself and realizes she doesn't feel hungry or sleepy. She then uses the mirror from Leon and Sergei.
She reveals her eyes and they were no longer black pupils. They were green and glowing. She then let's her bangs flow down. "Wicked!"
The rest of her friends feel her arms and she was as cold as a corpse. Though Rocky just fainted.
Lucy pricks her finger and she sees black blood seeping. "Cool."
She also sees that she has some fangs on her teeth. "Awesome!"
She then looks to Kel'Thuzad and hugs him again and cries. "Thank you so much! This is the best experience of my life!"
"You are welcome Lucy, I also thought this would be useful for your upcoming haunted maze" replied Kel'Thuzad.
Everyone else was shocked the Lucy was now undead, but they had to be happy for her. Lynn Jr knew things were gonna get a whole lot creepy with her undead sister.
As for Lucy she couldn't wait for Halloween. Oh and an Abomination comes in dragging an unconscious Lynn Sr.
"He's not gonna be happy when he hears about all of this when he wakes up" said Neil.
(Meanwhile, outside of Royal Woods)
A group of individuals look at the sign.
A masked man with a chainsaw, a masked man with a knife, a ghostly woman with a samurai sword, a man whose face looks like he was experimented on, a ghostly nurse, four masked individuals with knives, a ghostly man with a bone like axe and an alien looking beast.
A dark female voice is heard in their heads. "It is time to show them the true meaning of hallows fear!"
They all make their way to Royal Woods. The Killers from the Realm of the Entity have arrived.
To be continued …..
Happy Birthday to the little loud Goth. She is now nine years old and is already getting gifts from the damned and now she gets to be undead until Halloween, but what are the beings from Dead By Daylight planning? Leave a review.
