A place called Mt. Lunatique National Forest, a perfect camping ground for anyone close to Royal Woods, and get away from the stressful life of the city and the imperfect ways of life. So calm, so serene, and it was about to get a little loud today. Loud, as in the Loud family were camping in this beautiful place within the heart of Michigan, yes Lincoln was enjoying himself on this fine camping day.
It was almost evening, approximately two in the afternoon, and everyone was enjoying and relaxing at the campsite, near the Blinking river, and everyone in the family was done with a little canoeing together on a motorboat lent to the family by Rita's boss.
Lori was texting Bobby on her phone, and Luna was playing her acoustic guitar to make it more relaxing for everyone and Leni was looking at a fashion magazine to keep from getting bored. For Luan, she was having a talk with her dummy, Mr. Cocomuts, and telling some jokes. Lincoln was helping Lynn put some firewood in the center of the campground, along with kindling and some rocks to keep the fire from spreading.
After he was done, Lincoln said to the viewers: "hey everyone, this is Lincoln. Now, I know what you guys are going to say: 'Why aren't you at your house, Lincoln?' Well, my dad won a camping trip in the lottery and he won, so we are spending a few days here whole Clyde and his dads are watching the pets for us. But, we go hack home tomorrow, and we're making this trip last for us."
While playing around the fireplace, Luna heard the wolves howling in the far distance from the campsite and she liked how calm it was with the wolves howling and all. What better sounds than hearing wolves howling and the sounds of loons calling in the distance. After all, those kind of sounds were the best kind of sounds in the wildlands like the Woodlands of Michigan.
"Hey bro!" Luna said: "listen to that!"
Lincoln walked up to Luna, and she said: "what's that, Luna?"
'Hear them wolves howling out there?"
Young Lincoln listened very carefully and he did hear the wolves howling after that. "Wow. I do hear those wolves, Luna."
"Yeah, it's awesome hearing those dogs bark at the moon like that. Do you ever wonder what it's like to be among those wolves, Lincoln? It sounds awesome."
"Well, I kinda imagine myself as Mowgli from the Jungle Book sometimes, and he lived among the wolves."
"Totally."
"But still, I'm okay with myself just the way I am."
"Ah, point made. I was just saying."
"Well, I think it would be awesome." said Lynn. "Running with wolves in a pack, hunting some animals, eating raw meat, that sounds awesome."
"Until you get parasites in your stomach, genius." Lisa remarked. "Of course, you probably wouldn't even care until you die of starvation."
"Eh, whatever. What does starvation mean again?" Lynn asked. Of course someone like her wouldn't know what that word meant at all.
"It means die of hunger, Lynn." Lincoln said.
"Oh. Speaking of hunger, I need more s'mores. When are they coming?"
"Be patient LJ." said Lynn Sr. "You cannot rush a good time together as a family. These things take time. The evening will come before you know it. Just wait until the fire is lit up, and we'll make the s'mores."
The kids sounded bummed, but they will wait before the evening will come. At last, the sun was going down, and everyone was having their s'mores over the campfire, and they tasted so good to their taste buds, even though they had to wait and let the snacks cool off before eating them.
Luna then played the night out with her singing and guitar playing. Everyone started clapping their hands and singing along to Luna's sweet voice. She was singing many folk songs and everyone knew what they were, that's why they sang along with her.
At last, it was before bedtime, and there were two separate tents. One had Lincoln, Luna, Rita, Lana, Leni, Luan and Lily, while the other had Lola, Lynn Sr, Lynn Jr, Lisa, and Lori sleeping. Lincoln put out the electric lantern while the father did the same in the tent he and the other half were sleeping in for the night.
"Well, we're going home tomorrow." said Rita. "We need all the sleep for tomorrow." They all told each other goodnight, and they were all asleep a little later than a few minutes.
At least after Midnight
Lincoln awoke from his stomach growling, and his body wasn't really feeling right. He awoke, and he had a feeling of diarrhea in himself. "Oh no, I think I ate a bad burrito." he thought to himself. He wanted to wait until morning, but his stomach couldn't wait until the morning light would strike on the earth once again.
Since it was killing him on the inside (not literally of course), he decided that his stomach couldn't take it anymore, thus was growling for all the... "bad things" to he left out of his body. He got out of his sleeping bag, and quietly went out of the tent and pulled out one of the big flashlights, and went out into the woods to find a gokd spot to use the bathroom.
Unfortunately, this part of the woods didn't have a latrine, so he had to go use the bathroom the old-fashioned way.
He found a spot behind a couple of bushes and he had a shovel with him. While doing his business, he was moaning and groaning a little bit, and it echoed around the woods a little since it sounded a little painful.
He kept it as quiet as possible so he wouldn't wake his own family. At last, he was done and buried his items under some dirt with the small shovel he had on him. At last, he was good to head back to the tent and Lincoln felt so relieved to have gotten that out of his system. Suddenly, he heard some wolves howling, and it began to worry him a little.
"Oh, I hope the wolves won't try and kill me." he whispered to himself. He kept a steady eye for something in case a bear, mountain lion, or any dangerous animal would try to attack him. After Ll, there was only one rule in the wilderness: survival of the fittest.
Lincoln then heard some rustling in the bushes and pointed his flashlight to where the rustling was heard from. He was shaking a little, and he said: "hello?" in a scared voice. "Anyone there?"
The rustling continued after a dramatic pause. After more rustling, what came out of the bushes caught Lincoln by surprise a little. It was a fluffy, and adorable red fox. Lincoln sighed in relief, and he knew foxes were not really dangerous (unless they had distemper or rabies), but this one does not have any of those things. Turns out, it was being curious, and it was sniffing the area for some food.
"Oh. Nevermind." he said to himself. The red fox suddenly ran away, for they were rather shy and elusive animals. Feeling so relieved, he was heading back to the tent, when something was sniffing behind him.
Turning around, he was frightened by what he saw. A pack of grey wolves were curiously looking at him. His heart was beating like a drum, and Lincoln wanted to run away, but he knew it would be a stupid move. He knew that wolves can outrun a human.
"Ummm, hello." Lincoln said, "look, I don't want any trouble. I didn't know I was... in your home."
A couple of the wolves tipped their heads in response, and Lincoln didn't know what to think of it. Judt then, the largest wolf, which was the alpha male, began growling, and the rest of the wolves followed with him, as if they were going to maul Lincolm go pieces.
Lincoln slowly backed up and kept his eyes on them as they were baring their sharp teeth at him menacingly. He backed up to a tree behind him and he was trapped by the wolves, even the puls in the pack were ready to maul him to pieces. What was even more terrifying was that this alpha wolf was as big big as a large lion or great Dane.
Before this gigantic, wild canid could even touch Lincoln with his bare teeth, something hit one of the wolves, and a yelp was heard amongst the pack.
The other wolves looked at what just hit tbe pack, and it revealed to be Lincoln's sisters, coming to his rescue. "Get away from our brother!" said Lola
"Guys!" Lincoln never felt so relieved to see his sisters.
"We're here, bro!" said Luna. "Leave him alone, wolves!"
"Go eat a deer or a moose!" said Lana
"Or you should try Burpin Burger." Leni suggested to the wild dogs. The sisters looked at her in confusion and their faces were telling her: "what?"
The alpha wolf growled at them, and Lynn charged at another one of tbr wolves and tackled it with her bare hands.
Lana had a baseball bat in her hands, and she was hitting any wolf that was trying to hurt her. Every one of the sisters were fighting off these creatures, and as the fight ensued, he heard the sisters yelling "OW!" once in a while.
Lincoln realized that his sisters were getting a little hurt. They were all probably getting clawed or bitten by these wolves. Still, the sisters were putting up a good fight against these wolves. The fight was cut short when a sudden gunshot was heard, and the wolves were scared off into the depths of the woods.
The parents just came and Lynn Sr had a shotgun in his hands to scare off the wolves. The alpha male was the last one to go, but he gave Lincoln one last look and growled softly before walking away, and his yellow eyes beamed in the dark depths of this forest.
"Kids!" Rita said, with he and the father rushing to their kids' aid. "Are you kids okay?"
"Yeah mom." said Lincoln.
"What happened out here?" said Lynn Sr.
"Yeah Lincoln, what did happen?" asked Lana
"Well.. the burrito I ate earlier was bad and I had... infrequent bowel movements in me, I had to use the bathroom so bad and, I found these wolves, and toy know the rest."
"Well why didn't you wake us up?" said Rita
"Because I didn't want to disturb you. Besides, there's no toilet around here, you know?"
The sisters all had bite marks on themselves and even Lily, although she was bitten by a pup."
"Oh no, you guys got bitten?"
"No, it's okay." Said Luna. "What matters is that you're safe."
"Come on, let's get back to bed." said Lynn Sr.
All the family did just that, but this will he a camping tip they will never forget.
