Another chapter my friends, Hope you like it. Please comment.
Brandon ran through the house without stopping, trying to find where to hide, in his head; he still couldn't believe it, it just simply defied his logic. To be honest, he had read some books about large families but this was completely ridiculous!
-Six Sisters! That boy has six sisters, and all of them are crazy!- He said to himself while he hid in the fireplace, once having a chance to take a breath, he could hear the screams out of his hiding place.
-Linky! I need to finish that dress!
-Lincoln! Come out Now! You must be my Butler for my tea party!
-Come on brother! Let's play in the mud!
-Lincoln! I demand that fulfill your promise to help me with my experiments today for helping you with your homework yesterday! You have to fulfill it!
-Lincoln! My Karate Test is tomorrow! I need a punching. . . sorry, I mean I need a partner to practice.
A sixth voice joined in the conversation, surely it was the girl who had just come to the house.
-Lincoln already returned? Very well! I have a birthday party in a couple of hours and i really need his help
Brandon got out a little from the fireplace and looked at the girl with ponytail again, he couldn't help but smile a bit, she looked like a graceful girl, clearly her similarity with the others gave her away as another sister, but he had no time to contemplate it, it seemed that now he had 6 crazy girls looking for him, for a moment he thought of going out on top of the fireplace but the idea was discarded when he noticed it was sealed on the outside, his only hope at the moment was to wait for all those girls crazy and the little brat will get tired of looking for him, he was very confident he was not going to be found out, really! ¿Who would look for him in a fireplace?
His confidence did not last long, as he felt something strange, as if someone was breathing weakly behind him, even in the dark, he spoke:
-Who is there?
Out of nowhere the boy heard a small voice gasp, as if it had been surprised.
-Lin. . .Lincoln, how did you know I was behind you? No one ever had detected me, less in darkness
Brandon could not see who was talking but it seemed to be one of the crazy girls whom he had already met, the voice was deep and low but still, it was the voice of a young girl, tempting his luck, he asked again:
-Who are you?
-Come on, you know that I am Lucy, your sister. Who else would be hidden here?
Brandon laughed inwardly while once again, his logic was challenged.
-Well. . . I guess there are eight sisters then, hahahahahaha, what a really active parents these kids have, I wonder if there will be more. . . Yeah right! ¿What is next? Him having ten sisters, that's ridiculous!- The white haired boy thought. He tried to remain calm, while this girl thought he was Lincoln, there would be no problem.
-Very well, Ehhhhhh Lucy Loud, could you please remain silent and not to reveal where I am, I don't want that. . . our sisters find us ¿ok?
Brandon waited for an answer in the darkness, a few seconds later. The little gothic Loud replied.
-Okay, but only if you listen to the new poem I wrote.
-¿Uh? Ok… ¿Why not?
…..
All the sisters Loud were still in search for their "Brother" Lincoln.
-Dang it! Where the heck he hid this time?- Asked Lynn cracking her knuckles.
-No idea sister, I still do not understand why he escaped, I was designing a very nice outfit- Said Leni, then she showed an orange one-piece suit with purple socks to her sisters. He didn't take long for them to know the reason why their brother decided to flee.
-Girls, focus! We must find. . .- Lola began to speak when a scream interrupted her.
- AHHHHHHH FORGET IT! I PREFER TO TRY MY LUCK OUT OF HERE TO CONTINUE LISTENING TO ONE OF YOUR POEMS!- Said Brandon abandoning his hideout. The gothic girl, even in the dark. Only bowed his head and proceeded to hide again, trying to process what his "brother" had just said.
-There he is!- She shouted the little diva, Lola, Lisa, Luan, Leni, and Lynn started to chase him again, the boy started to run around to evade every one of them, including Lynn who wondered when Lincoln had become so good at the art of parkour. While the boy was still evading those insufferable girls, he thought carefully:
-¿How the hell I got into this situation?!. . . Oh yeah! Now I remember!
…
A week later since Brandon had meeting Lincoln's sisters, he tried to evade that crazy family at all cost, he couldn't stop thinking about those two girls, and he hated it, he really didn't want to think about them. he just wanted to get on with his life and forget everything about them. Since that day, he stopped going to that part of the town. Every time he went there, something very annoying or unexpected happened, he had decided to stop going there until everything calmed down, meanwhile he was only working exclusively on his side of the town, next to the city, wearing his disguise as well, even though he wanted to cover the entire area, working there wasn't bad, he had already created a good reputation among the neighbors, either by cutting grass, painting fences or walking animals, not to mention his work in the Mall, it was fair to say he wouldn't need to visit that forbidden area in a good time, which he was glad for.
Brandon was finishing walking one of the neighbor's dog, he arrived at the house of its master and knocked on the door, a lady came out to meet him.
-Oh Brandon. it has been really an hour already? wow! Time flies when one relaxes, I can see my Linda had a great time with you, thank you.
Mrs. Smith received her dog and proceeded to pay Brandon.
-Here you go boy, you've earned it
-Thank you Mrs. Smith, same time next Tuesday?-
-Of course, my dear Linda cannot wait, she likes you so much- Said Mrs. Smith while watching the little dog trying to get Brandon attention for him to carry her, the white-haired boy carried her and she started to be lick him all over the face.
-Hahahaha, I like you too Linda.
-I don't understand how you do it Brandon, believe me when I say that Linda is not very easy to handle, she almost doesn't like anyone.
"Hmmmmm, I see. I guess I can thank my experience in caring so many stray dogs when I was little.
-I understand, and tell me Brandon. . . ¿You are well treated in the Orphanage?
-Hmmm, I'm fine. Is not a luxury hotel, but yes, I have food, shelter and clothing. and the director allows me to work, I would say that I am very well.
-I'm glad to hear that, when I see you work so much, for a moment I thought things were not going very well there.
-Don't worry, I work for the future and as long as people keep employing me, I can assure you there is nothing to worry about.
-But have you ever thought about. . . Looking for a family?
-Uhhhhh sorry Mrs. Smith but that is a subject I would like to evade, I'm going to ask you to please don't talk about it?
The lady observed the boy for a moment, even though he sounded a little rude, she decided to no push it, it seemed the young man was uneasy about the subject.
-Okay boy, as you say, then don't forget, Tuesday, 3:00 in the afternoon
-Here I am!- said Brandon and began to walk away
-Brandon! Wait!- Shouted Mrs. Smith, the boy turned around and to see what her employer wanted to tell him.
-I almost forgot Brandon, a few days ago, in my new job, I met a very nice lady, I told her about you and what you do and she is very interested in your services to mow her lawn, apparently none of her children likes to do it, when I told her how much you charge, she immediately said if you could go work to her house, if you do, can you go after 2 in the afternoon? When her work shift ends?
-Really? Wow! Thank you Mrs. Smith! Tomorrow is my day off but I think I can take a little time to go there.
-I'm glad to hear that boy, then I will call her to inform you that you will go there tomorrow
-Please do, and once more Thank You!
-You are welcome, by the way, here is the address
Ms. Smith gave a piece of paper to Brandon, when he saw it, he was surprised to see that the house was on the forbidden side, for a moment he thought about decline but he knew he couldn't do that, if he started to reject recommendations. . . that would be bad for business.
-Hmmm, I guess I can go there quickly and use my cap and sunglasses all the time and not talk to anyone except my employer, it will only take one hour, ¿What could go wrong?- The boy thought.
-Ok, then I'll be there tomorrow. See you later.
Once Brandon was gone, Mrs. Smith took her phone and called her new partner.
-Hello ¿Rita?
…
It was 2 in the afternoon, the sun was shining, but it was not a hot day, the wind was excellent, perfect for a job, Brandon was in front of the house where he would work that day, he watched the garden, lawn was kinda high but nothing he couldn't handle in less than an hour, for obvious reasons, he didn't want to take any longer than necessary. He had his cap and sunglasses, once again, he read the address to be sure.
-1216 Franklin Avenue, Royal Woods, Yes! This is the address. Let's look at the family's name.
Brandon observed the mailbox battered out of the house.
-Family Loud. . ¿Loud? Where I heard that before? Hmmmm, I have it on the top of the tongue, well it doesn't matter! I will remember it after- The boy immediately proceeded to get closer to the door and ring the doorbell, the moment he did it, he felt electricity surrounding his entire body.
-Ahhhhhhhhh, Damn! That hurts!-Brandon shouted and release the button and began to caress his finger –They should fix this!
His anger didn't last long when he heard someone coming to open the door, he quickly took off his cat and sunglasses to look serious, he always was trying look professional for future recommendations, a few seconds later, the door opened.
-Hello! Who is it?" Said a girl, Brandon looked at her and couldn't help but blush a little, the girl in front of him was incredibly beautiful, blond hair with a mint green dress with white sandals, sunglasses on his head to complete the set. For a moment, Brandon was speechless, not only because of how cute she but also because he had the feeling of having seen before but he couldn't remember when, not caring so much about it, the young man spoke:
-Hi, my name is…
-Lincoln! Little Brother! It is so good you are here! Come with me! I need your help!
-Lincoln? Little brother? What are talk. . .- The boy started to say but was interrupted by being literally pulled by the girl from his arm to inside the house.
-Oh! You just wait to see the new outfit that I'm making for kids! Like, you're going to love it!- said the girl who was still pulling Brandon's arm, the boy; leaving his initial surprise of having been literally entered inside the house against his will, quickly pulled his arm with force to break free.
-Hey! I don't know who the hell you think you are! But you can't just pull a person. . . Hey! What's wrong with you?
Brandon stopped talking when he looked the girl in front of him with her eyes crystallized, it seemed like he was about to cry.
-Lincoln, you. . You never had talked to me like that before? And you are being very rude, you hate helping me that much?
Brandon stared at the girl for a few moments, his warning sense was telling him to leave immediately, he was no fool. He knew he ended at the place he wanted most to avoid in the whole the World, HE ENDED IN LINCOLN LOUD HOUSE! In that moment he remembered where he had heard the word "Loud" by recalled his encounter with Ronnie Anne.
-Lincoln! I came directly to Lincoln's house!- He said to himself, cursing his lack of memory. But decided to leave it for later, now he needed to focus in the girl in front of him, he could be a curse or a defect, but he simply not liked to make cute girls cry, not to mention he didn't needed to increase his already huge problems with the Loud family.
-Damn! I must be crazy!- He thought and immediately approached the girl.
-Listen ehhhh, sister, I didn't want to be rude with you, I'm sorry. If it won't take too much time, I will help you with whatever you want to do, but not more than 5 minutes and then I'm leaving, do you understand?
Just as if nothing had happened moments ago, Leni's face brightened up and a big smile appeared on her face, she proceeded to hug her "brother" and shouted:
"Yes! Thanks Lincoln! I love you so much! Now let's go! Even I know five minutes is not too much time!
Once again Leni grabbed his arm and led him into her room.
-Ok Brandon. . . 5 minutes, no more and then you'll be out of here forever, in a way, this is a good thing, now you know where the Loud family lives so now avoiding them will be easier from now on- He said to himself, both "brothers" entered the Leni and Lori's room, Brandon immediately noticed the two beds there, obviously a girl's bed.
-Hmm, so Lincoln has 4 sisters, the brat, the athlete, this beauty and one that I have not seen. . . I wonder what will it be like? No Brandon! Concentrate! What do you care how she looks like? It is none of your business just concentrate in helping this cute girl and then get out of here!
-Ok now I found one!- said Leni, throwing one of the garments to her bed.
Brandon observed the outfit on the bed, he tried to find any sense in the look of that clothing. . . but he couldn't, it appeared to be some kind of one piece orange pajama with a white belt and purple socks, a hood for the head to complete the set. All desire to help the pretty girl went down the drain at that moment.
-Hmmmm, No! I have used second and third hand clothes, even clothing that people might consider. . . rags, but I happily would use those clothes again before wearing this, thanks but no thanks!- Thought Brandon, there was no way he would say something like that to the pretty girl so just as quickly and quietly he could do it, he exited the room without calling the girl's attention who was still looking for some more clothes in the closet.
-Ok! Time to get out of here!" He said but when he placed a foot outside the room, he found himself face to face with perhaps after Lincoln Loud, the last person he wanted to see.
-Hi Lincoln! Play fashion photographer with me- Said Lola Loud smiling at him.
-Fu**** my Sh*** luck!- thought the boy.
