Lynn had been able to get through the early night with relatively no incidents thankfully, yet she had been scared to sleep due to not being sure what might happen if she did. The sporty girl had no choice in the matter however, she had been awake for 2 days straight and was at her absolute limit for being able to stay conscious, the second Lynn rested her head on the pillow was the moment she was fast asleep moments later. The sport loving girl's biggest fear had been just what may happen while within her dreams, or that it might be full of nothing other than nightmares.

Around 2am, most of the Loud house was fast asleep, Lori and Leni having gone home after dinner, promising to come back when they had the chances to. Though one of the younger children in the family was stirring in their sleep, it was Lynn's roommate. While Lynn's half of the room had a sportier aesthetic to it, the opposite side of the shared bedroom was rather dark and gloomy, holding a lot more of a gothic vibe from it.

In the bed with black sheets, a young girl sat up, having pale skin and raven black hair, the bangs of which covered her eyes. She was Lucy Loud, the fifth youngest in the family, being a goth as well as a large occult fanatic, she and Lynn had a rather rough relationship, but they got along well enough. Lucy currently wore just a long black nightgown that was sleeveless, she had been woken up because of a bad dream, sadly she had been having them the last few days, mostly from fear of what could have happened to her brother and sister.

"I need to get some water..." Lucy thought, trying to brush the depressing recollection of her nightmare into the back of her mind. The raven-haired Loud looked over to her roommate's bed, noticing a rather lack of shape to the blankets, when the goth Loud got up, she realized that the bed was empty entirely, the blanket was partially in the floor too, like the owner of the bed had stumbled when trying to get out of it.

"Lynn?" Lucy chirped; her roommate was completely absent at the moment. Normally Lucy would not pay it much mind, though she recalled just how tired her older sister had been when she finally got some sleep, Lynn being awake right now sounded like an impossibility, unless someone else woke her up.

Lucy stepped out into the hallway and could see that nothing looked out of the ordinary with any of the rooms, the attic was open, though that was normal ever since that room had become a multi-purpose room for several of the Loud siblings since Lincoln got Lori and Leni's room when they moved out. The young goth made her way downstairs, the only thing really acting as a light source at this point was the small bits of moonlight that were able to bleed through the windows and blinds of the rooms.

As Lucy was making her way through the living room, she took notice of the door to the basement being wide open. That was enough to catch the goth girl's interest, when she stepped towards the basement door, all that the gothic girl could see was darkness. The basement was absolutely pitch black, as much as she did not want to go down there, Lucy found herself unable to resist her curiosity.

"Hello? Is somebody down there?" Lucy called out from atop the steps, there was no response, so the goth loving girl began to descend the stairs of the basement. The old steps creaking with every footstep. Just as she got down to the last step, out of nowhere Lynn suddenly came out from seemingly thin air, actually giving Lucy a good scare, usually it was the opposite that happened.

"Hey Luce, what are you doing up this late?" Lynn spoke with no hesitation; Lucy was still recovering from her minor heart attack, it all caught her off guard pretty thoroughly. Her eyes had adjusted to the darkness by now, and the gothic Loud was noticing a rather odd expression on Lynn's face. The sporty Loud had a calm small smile, yet the look in her eyes at the moment was something Lucy could only describe as unsettling. It was like the sports loving teenager had no hint of tiredness to her, the opposite actually, Lynn looked like she was holding back a tsunami of energy.

"I wanted to get a drink and saw you weren't in bed... Did something happen?" Lucy worriedly inquired, unable to shake that uneasy feeling she had. Something in the back of the gothic girl's mind was screaming at her to just get away from her older sister, yet she resisted it out of assumption it was simply a reaction to being startled earlier.

"Nah, I just realized I left my wallet in my pants, that's all! I had to go fetch it before the laundry got done tomorrow." Lynn instantly responded, beginning to walk up the steps again past Lucy, grabbing her little sister's hand and beginning to escort her out of the basement in a rather forceful manner. What Lucy was unaware of however was the fact that both laundry baskets that usually were left in the basement until it was time for cleaning, were now overturned and scattered slightly, like they had been tipped upside down in a hurry.

"Well, I'm going to go back to bed Lucy, gnight!" Lucy didn't even have time to say anything, she was back out of the basement, the door to it got shut fast, and Lynn was gone as soon as her sentence ended.

"... Am I still dreaming?" Was all Lucy managed to finally say, feeling stunned and confused. She decided to just pretend she had seen nothing and go back to what she had originally been doing, getting water.

The rest of the night seemed to go by without incident, the sound of an alarm clock ringing in the early morning by Lynn's bedside woke her up, the auburn-haired girl reaching over and slapping the snooze button. "5 more minutes..." The sporty Loud groggily said while rolling over in her bed. Lynn still felt tired, like she needed another day worth of sleep to really get her energy back from the last couple of days. The thing Lynn really did not want to let go of though was just the nice silence, a peace she imagined was not going to be a thing with her split personalities any longer.

Those 5 minutes came and went fast, the second time her alarm went off was when Lynn admitted defeat and got out of bed. After fixing her hair into her usual ponytail, she decided to peek out into the hall, she saw the familiar line of a few of their sibling's waiting for the bathroom, though it was only a few of them the girl with the ponytail imagined downstairs was the exact same.

"Ah screw it." Lynn shook her head, closing the door and deciding to skip her morning ritual, getting changed into her jeans before putting on a shirt that had red and white stripes in a spiral pattern running down it, that was forming into the shape of a big 1 on the front.

"Jeez, I really have some bad bags under my eyes today..." Lynn muttered to herself when looking at her reflection in the mirror on her and Lucy's wardrobe. Lynn guessed that would get better after she gets some sleep tonight, planning on going to bed early already first thing in the morning, the sports star really never imagined herself being in such a position. Once she was good and ready, she headed out, wanting to go downstairs for breakfast.

When Lynn got downstairs, she saw her mom working away at the stove, trying to get the usual breakfast done for the younger half of the family, just daily routine as usual. Lynn guessed her father had to go to work early this morning, she went over to the coffee pot, setting it to begin brewing a fresh batch immediately. "Morning Mom." The auburn-haired girl greeted her mom. Rita looked over to her, seeming surprised.

"Good morning Lynn, wow, I don't think I've ever seen you ready first thing in the morning before." Rita commented jokingly, normally the older half of the Loud siblings were the type to not be able to start their day off right without coffee to get them going.

"I had a rough time sleeping." Lynn confessed; the strange thing is she did not even dream in her sleep as far as she could recall. The sports loving Loud did not really think it was the weirdest thing, sometimes people slept without a dream at all, but normally Lynn had dreams about being the best in a certain sport or simply something related to spending time with her family.

"Do you know what happened to the laundry last night? Your Father went down to load the first batch in today, but he found both baskets upside down." Rita questioned her 5th oldest child, while the laundry being flipped over like that did not really matter to her, since the clothes in them were already dirty, it still was something odd she was curious about.

"The laundry? Sorry, I got no clue." Lynn replied honestly, having heard nothing last night to her recollection. The teenager seeing all the different foods her mom was preparing, it did seem like more than usual cooking was going on.

"How about you go offer a hand to her? She could really use the help." The all too familiar maternal voice panged in Lynn's mind, she scoffed at the suggestion while pouring herself a cup of coffee, it was not because she didn't want to help, far from it, it was just the fact the teenage girl herself had next to zero cooking capabilities.

"Anyone can learn, there's no reason to be scared." The motherly toned voice hummed, it was like the motherly personality knew the exact button to push to motivate Lynn, or get on her bad side, the auburn-haired girl rested her cup of coffee down on the counter with a sigh.

"Hey, Mom?" Lynn chirped while stepping over to Rita's side at the oven.

"What is it, honey?" Rita asked Lynn Junior, wondering if something was wrong. The mother of 11 had a hard time getting to sleep last night out of fear that something still might be wrong with her two injured children, she had been able to drift off to dreamland around midnight.

"Uhm, can I..." Lynn found herself suddenly losing confidence, rather quickly in fact, screwing up breakfast meant a lot of upset siblings. "Can I help you cook? I wanna learn how." The auburn-haired girl was able to force the words past her mouth, there was a moment of silence as her mother stared at her in wide eyed surprise.

"Really? I mean, sure! I'd appreciate the help, where's this coming from all of a sudden though?" Rita attempted to inquire, normally the sporty Loud hated cooking and had shown absolutely no interest in learning anything about it. Lynn really had no clue what to say in response to that, she put on her best innocent smile.

"I just thought it was about time I learned a new skill. If I can't play sports for 2 weeks, I may as well do something." Lynn responded, now that she said it out loud, maybe her maternal personality was onto something, cooking would be a nice little distraction for those two weeks, maybe even therapeutic in itself.

Rita had a proud smile on her face, there were a lot of times where she could not believe how fast some of her children had grown up. Lori and Leni moving out had been a rather hard thing to adjust to for her, the Loud mother was happy that her family were all maturing alright, even if there were many times where Rita felt like she and Lynn Senior had fallen short as parents, it made her proud to know the 11 siblings cared about one another. "Alright Lynn, let's start with something simple, go wash your hands, then grab the eggs and a whisk."

Despite a few missteps, and a small fire bursting out on the stovetop from a minor slip with oil, Lynn began to pick up rather swiftly when it came to the basics of cooking. The main thing that Rita focused on teaching her daughter was a few basic egg recipes, and the importance of seasoning correctly. During that entire time Lynn was voice free, both from being quiet from focusing on not messing up, as well as none of the other personalities speaking in her mind.

It wasn't until Lynn was setting the last of the meals at the adult and kid tables that she realized most of her family at this point had gotten to the kitchen, the many Loud siblings were all simply talking amongst one another or minding their own business, most were shocked when seeing Lynn cooking that they decided to leave her alone.

"Since when were you into cookin', sis?" Luna quirked, finding it as a rather nice change to see, instead of finding Lynn spending the early morning exercising away in the garage or back yard like usual.

"If I can't play sports for a few weeks, then I can at least play with pots and pans in the meantime." Lynn jokingly replied with a smirk on her face, setting down the last plate of food before taking a seat at the table.

"You didn't do half bad for your first time." Lincoln complimented his sports loving sibling, being pretty happy with his own plate of food as he picked up his knife and fork, even if Rita had probably played a majority role in the cooking process. Lynn just rolled her eyes, letting her family say whatever they wanted, she had done enough to earn a few jabs her way as is, she was merely proud of having been successful at all.

"Everything alright, Lucy?" Lynn raised a brow when noticing their goth sister was clearly looking at her, although being quiet. Lucy had still been thinking about last night mostly, that strange run-in with her roommate had left her rather uncertain on what had truly transpired that night. The black-haired girl even went and checked the basement when she first woke up again this morning, though finding nothing out of the ordinary made her assume that her run-in with an oddly behaving Lynn had been just a dream.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Are you still going to go to school today?" Lucy had to change the topic, wanting to move on from her strange dream.

"I said I was, and I'm pretty sure every last one of you have asked me that now." Lynn felt her eyes glaze over; she was bored of having the same conversation repeatedly. The only one who had not implored her to take it easy instead of going to school, was their youngest sister Lily, and that was most likely because Lily was not the most talkative.

"You can't blame us for being worried, Lincoln is the only one that's close enough to help if something happens..." Luan explained, the Loud children were all concerned about the fact the only ones that their two injured siblings could rely on if an emergency came up, were each other.

"If you stayed home, you'd have the house all to yourself too." Lola tried to appeal to Lynn by offering what everyone in their house wanted, time in it alone, it was something a lot of their family looked forward to but many rarely got. The auburn-haired girl held her chin, hearing that actually made her reconsider the idea of going to school.

"Ohhh Lincoln could stay and take care of us... Just think about it, us and Lincoln alone together. It's a dream come true!" That all too familiar obsessed voice chimed within Lynn's head, hearing that made her eyes dart wide open, derailing any train of thought the aspiring sports star had. Lynn wanted to ram her head onto the table in response to hearing that at all, she was caught so off guard that it made her heartrate increase.

"I really need to find a way to shut that one up..." Lynn mumbled while grabbing her own utensils, wanting to just focus on eating breakfast for the time being. The brunette with the ponytail was racking her brain for any ideas on how to keep the obsessed and aggressive personalities suppressed, indulging them was a physical impossibility as far as she could tell.

"Do you want me to take you two to school today?" Rita offered to her son and daughter, usually Lynn would ride her bike to school and Lincoln would go back and forth between riding on the bus or not. The sports loving Loud figured it would probably be for the best not to go riding her bike around right now, helmet or not Lynn felt like she was not really able to withstand any of her usual amount of damage.

"Sure! Thanks Mom." Lincoln agreed pretty happily, Lynn wanted to say yes as well, though found herself pausing in hesitation, Vanzilla was a chaotic tight enclosed space, the athletic Loud was scared of what might happen in that sort of chaos, and Lynn definitely knew that the younger half of their family would more than happily take the chance of avoid the bus If they were given a choice.

"Wow, you're so weak now that they have to help. You really suck at hiding it." The depressed voice spoke out in Lynn's mind, her head throbbed in pain, grabbing at her leg injury did little to silence it.

"Leg hurt, Lynn?" A sweeter sounding voice chirped, Lynn looked to her side and saw a little girl that looked no older than 4 years old, wearing a light purple dress with very short blonde hair. Little Lily Loud, the youngest child in the family, everyone adored her, though her speech capabilities were rather limited for some unknown reason to the family, Lily was the sweet caring type, albeit a tad shy.

"Crap, she saw me grabbing my injury..." Lynn realized she had been careless, now a lot of her family's attention was on her. "N-No Lily, I'm fine, it's just itchy. That's normal when it's healing." The sports loving girl had a good cover ready on that one, having basically been rehearsing several in her head since yesterday. Lynn just hoped no inquiries to the Band-Aid on her leg would come next.

"Thanks for the offer, Mom, but I'm going to try and stick to my routine." Lynn stood up from the kitchen table, turning down the ride to school offer, she even left her plate of food half eaten.

"Wait, seriously dude? It's probably not that safe to go riding a bike with a cracked skull, even with a helmet." Luna insisted that was a bad idea, it was clear by the look on Lincoln's face that he was in agreement.

"I concur." Lisa simply said, it didn't take a child prodigy to state the obvious though.

"Just shout at them to leave you alone, that'll spook them off for a while." The aggressive personality piped up in Lynn's mind, the sporty Loud was feeling panic starting to rise up at this point, her heart was racing and her breathing was beginning to get worse.

"I-I know, just... I need to think and clear my head, I'm going to walk. Please..." Lynn tried to counter to her family, most of her sibling's only became more concerned when she said that though, the sporty Loud's voice trailing off towards the end and quivering, almost coming off like she was pleading.

Before anyone could say anything further, Lynn was gone in a flash. It became pretty apparent right then and there that Lynn had been feeling nothing short of emotional stress, no one could stop her from leaving though, everyone knew how stubborn Lynn could be so when she had her mind set on something, it was usually done.

"What was that about?" Lola was the first to speak up, not even trying to hide her confusion at this point.

"I dunno, she was all happy and proud about her cooking one second, then she started to look stressed out." Lana responded, looking just as lost as her twin on this one.

"I don't think I've ever seen Lynn act like this before..." Luan commented, actually feeling too bad to make a pun to try and lighten the mood. No one in the Loud family had ever really seen Lynn behave this way before.

"Do you know anything about it, Lincoln?" Luna requested their brother's input, Lucy meanwhile simply remained quiet.

"I don't know. I know she was all torn up the other day after she accidentally injured an opponent in a football game, that was right before our... 'incident.'" Lincoln explained, unsure if it was simply Lynn being burdened by guilt or something else was going on entirely. He imagined that event was enough to make his older sister dread returning to school though, the white-haired boy assumed the traumatic event they experienced was the cause of all the recent strange behavior.

"Perhaps her true emotional stress is far greater than any of us anticipated?" Lisa suggested, it wouldn't be that hard to believe that one of the Loud siblings would hide their true feelings on something, a myriad of reasons that may as well be infinite.

"I know you're all worried about Lynn, but maybe she needs some space. If she needs help, she knows she can come to any of us for it." Rita requested out of her many children to try and not add onto said stress further if they could, though knew their nosy nature might make that nigh implausible. After all that being said, the family tried to go on with breakfast like normal, though the tone over the whole event left did bring down the mood quite heavily.

Lynn had spent a lot of the walk in a state of mixed feelings, sure she felt a lot better to have gotten out from the constant worry and questions of her family, it had been starting to feel rather suffocating to her. Lynn was more scared about what may happen if she had stayed, constantly doubting her own ability to keep the voices in check, she only knew how to control two of them after all.

"At this rate, I'm going to get caught... What do I do?" Lynn had to ask herself, over and over again. She had to get better at covering this up, or confess that she was not able to handle it alone. The brunette was the kind of person to refuse to admit defeat even in the biggest of opponents, though she had to admit, she never had fought her own mind before. Lynn did not even know what the outcome of this would be if she lost, she did not even want to imagine it.

"I need to make a list today; I can do it while I'm in class, but I need to figure out ways to handle everything... Ways to protect everyone else." Lynn looked down at her bandaged leg, recalling as well the bags under her own eyes. "I need to make sure I can cover it up too." The sports loving Loud exhaled, already having a few ideas in mind on how she can cover up the signs of exhaustion and injuries.

When Lynn arrived to her and Lincoln's Highschool, she could see a good number of other students being there already. A fair number of people did not mind arriving early, if anything they saw it almost like personal playtime given the school typically opened early so those in clubs could sort out things they needed to in the morning, and teachers could get ready for their classes.

"Hm?" Lynn took notice of someone sat on the steps, idly browsing their cell phone. It was a boy about her brother's age that had short black hair, glasses, and was wearing a yellow shirt with a blue coat on top. She recognized him as Clyde Mcbride, practically Lincoln's brother with how long the two had been best friends.

"Clyde? What're you doing here so early?" Lynn stepped over to Clyde, not expecting him of all people to be here, sure the autumn weather and air felt nice, yet she highly doubted that was enough of a motivator for him.

"Lynn?! Oh wow, it's great to see you!" Clyde looked shocked at first, though stood up pretty happily in front of Lynn, she swore he wanted to hug her, Lynn was not sure why he seemed so happy to see her. "I just didn't feel like riding the bus today, but I sure wasn't expecting to see you at school anytime soon." Clyde answered, Lynn was merely happy that someone was showing more friendly behavior instead of simple worry.

"This is seriously one of our friends? A freak who would sniff our oldest sister's shoes if he had the chance?" The depressed voice had to comment, Lynn was not able to really disagree there. Clyde had a bit of an obsession with Lori, heavy emphasis on had. The aspiring sports star did not know all the details, but knew Lincoln nearly ended his friendship with the glasses wearing boy, the brunette only knew that Clyde got caught doing something, she had no idea what though.

"Well, yeah, you really expect me to let a broken skull hold me back?" Lynn jokingly responded, stepping beside her brother's best friend on the steps.

"If not that, I expected your family to stop you... It's pretty much all over online about what happened to you and Lincoln, you guys are probably going to be the talk of the school for a while." Clyde exclaimed, Royal Woods was a small town, word spread as fast as a wildfire. Hearing that made Lynn bury her face in her hands and groan, sure being talked about in a positive manner was a great thing, she just hated knowing that everyone knew about the incident, primarily because it meant people asking the same questions over and over again.

"Lincoln'll be here too; I came early because I needed to go talk to my coaches about not being able to play for a few weeks." Lynn said, starting to head into the Highschool, though she saw Clyde getting up and beginning to follow her.

"How about I tag along? The others might ignore you if it looks like you're busy." The spectacled teen offered, there was a momentary pause as the sports loving girl pondered on his offer momentarily.

"Ugh, this loser thinks he has a chance? It's cute, but he's no Lincoln." The jealous voice chirped up; Lynn ignored it relatively easily, starting to feel sorry for Clyde, even if he could not hear what the voices in her head were saying.

"Sure, come on." The 5th oldest Loud sibling relented without much argument, thinking it would be nice to have a friend around when she went and told each coach for the many sports teams that she was on about being unable to play for a while.

After some time spent talking to most of the coaches individually, it seemed to go pretty smoothly, Lynn spent not that long going to the coaches with Clyde. He was nice for support, and for some odd reason the brunette was noticing every coach she went to was being a lot more understanding and nicer towards her, even the ones that normally acted like they had no mercy for anyone did not argue.

"Jeez, I heard a lot of nasty stuff about Coach Bragg, she sure seemed okay with you being benched for 2 weeks though." Clyde could not help but to comment after meeting Lynn's soccer coach, probably the most feared teacher in the whole building, Lynn still had no clue what to make of her half the time.

"All that's left is my football coach Rebecca, then I can just focus on being bored for half a month..." Lynn exhaled, Clyde understood how annoying it must be to her, he had plenty of sympathy, sadly all the bespectacled boy could do in this situation was be moral support. The two just making their way through the halls of the school, Clyde doing his best to distract her from her current predicament with conversation.

"Hm? Hold on a second." The auburn-haired girl suddenly stopped him, Clyde wondered what was going on at first, though noticed two boys at a row of lockers. He did not recognize them however.

"What? Are they friends of yours?" Clyde quirked curiously, one boy was decently tall with blonde hair, while the other had most of their head covered by a hat, appearing to be more muscular.

"The opposite I think..." Lynn shook her head; she recognized them easily. "That's Brandon and Tyler, they're on the boys football team. The day me and Lincoln got attacked we had a practice game against each other... I sort of sent their best friend to the hospital on accident." The aspiring sports star explained the situation to her friend, the glasses wearing boy felt an awkward pause in the air between them, he could not think of anything to say that would not come off as rude or insensitive.

"Well, it's just us here, you wanna talk to them?" Clyde offered; it had been a few days so he assumed that the sporty Loud would want to at least check up on the person she accidentally hurt. By now the two boys took notice of her, Lynn decided she may as well, stepping over towards them.

"Hey Tyler, Brandon... How's David doing?" Lynn was the first one to try and break the ice, it did not take much to tell the two were not happy with her, she sure didn't blame them either, Clyde meanwhile kept quiet, he was not the best in this type of situation beyond being supportive.

"You fractured and dislocated his ankle; he's been benched for 2 months." Brandon had no hesitation to inform the 5th oldest Loud of the severity of the injuries that the one she had accidentally injured had received. Lynn winced hearing that, she knew how bad those could be, she had hoped it was nothing other than a simple dislocation, no such luck it appeared.

"Like always, all you do is break people, or make their lives harder, great work." The depressed voice continued in Lynn's head, she huffed.

"I'm sorry, accident or not I still feel bad about what happened... You three nearly had me there during the sprint, I got careless and took a risk to break through your line in practice." Lynn apologized, while there was not much she could do she at least could try to make it known that she felt terrible about the whole situation.

"Yeah right, we know you always have to try and show everyone up on the field, be a ball hog, show off how much better you are than everyone, don't think just because you got put in the hospital yourself that it makes everything better." Tyler poked Lynn in the chest, not even hiding his aggression, Lynn blinked in surprise, she understood the two boys being mad, yet she had no clue how to react to that.

"How far do you think we can bend that finger before it breaks?" The aggressive personality was becoming prominent now, Lynn was feeling her heart racing.

"Hey, ease up." Clyde stepped between Lynn and the two. "She's trying to apologize, yeah Lynn can be intense, but she is not malicious." The bespectacled boy defended his friend, he wasn't a quarter as tough as Lynn could be, that didn't mean he was going to stand idle while someone else took advantage of her while she was still injured herself.

"Huh, maybe you aren't as much of a wuss as I thought you were." Lynn thought to herself, actually surprised at how brave Clyde was, normally him and Lincoln specialized in clever plans for outsmarting, not direct confrontation unless they had no other plans left.

"Beat it, brat." That was all Brandon said, suddenly Clyde was hit right in the face with one solid punch, while it thankfully did not break his glasses, it was enough to make his nose begin bleeding and knock him backwards, Lynn caught Clyde before he hit the floor.

"Clyde?! Hey! What was that for?!" Lynn shouted at them, easing the black-haired boy down to the ground before she stood back up, stepping in front of their assailants.

"We're not going to let you get out of this with that crappy special treatment the coaches give you, we're gonna teach you a lesson ourselves!" Tyler grinned while cracking his knuckles, Lynn swore it felt like everything slowed down in that moment, what could she do? Due to the early time, there weren't really any other student's roaming the halls, the auburn-haired girl doubted she could get a teacher, the workshop and chemistry classrooms were the closest, and the ones who ran those classes did not arrive until around lunch.

That was when it suddenly hit Lynn, what Lisa had told her yesterday, find a way to indulge the personalities and she might be able to suppress them, even if only temporarily, if the aggressive personality wanted violence, then she can give it.

And this was a chance to indulge one.

"Oh yes! I wonder how long they can last?" The aggressive split persona hummed, rooting for Lynn to not hesitate nor hold back. As much as the auburn-haired girl hated to admit it, she was going to not fight the voice in her head this time, the opposite in fact. She was going to give control up entirely.

"Fine, you want a piece of Lynn-sanity? I'll give you a piece!" The brunette smiled, feeling her vision being tinted red almost, Lynn disliked how familiar it felt, what was worse was how much she hated how comfortable this feeling was.

"Lynn...?" Clyde blinked, his eyes watery from his injured nose, he was just focused on trying to stop the bleeding, he swore it was like a switch suddenly was flipped in her head.

"Grah!" Tyler stomped forward swinging for another straight blow, Lynn put up her guard and blocked the hit with her forearms, she quickly stepped forward and swung upward, crashing her elbow into his face, stunning him from the sheer jaw pain, she grabbed his wrist before yanking him towards herself, swinging her left leg towards both of his legs, tripping him up as she grabbed the back of his shirt, all of this combined let Lynn flip Tyler over and slam him into the tiled floor, hard.

Brandon immediately ran up while Lynn had her back turned, wrapping his arms beneath hers in an attempt to put her in a hold, Lynn grinned, putting her right foot behind the right foot of the one trying to hold her before she shoved backwards, causing Brandon to trip over her foot and fall backwards onto the floor. The second Lynn was loose she slammed an elbow into his chest, it was enough to knock the wind out of him completely, combined with the pain it kept him on the floor briefly.

"Had enough yet?" Lynn questioned while getting back up, suddenly being tackled in the side by Tyler, he had been trying to knock her off her feet, getting increasingly more agitated since it felt like she was toying with them, yet she dug in her feet with a wide stance and remained steadfast and did not topple or fall.

Lynn slammed her elbow onto Tyler's upper back, before ramming her knee into his chest two times over, enough to get him to let go of her waist. The brunette grabbed him by the arm before spinning around and throwing him into the lockers, Tyler crashing into them with a groan. He had no chance to get his bearings though, Lynn came running right after him, looking like she was about to hit him in the face, so he instinctively covered it in an attempt to protect his head. Lynn faked him out however, instead of his head he felt a strong right hook hit him in his right chest, Tyler gritted his teeth as he felt a left hook to the other side of his chest follow up, he swore his ribs were rattling from the sheer force of the hits.

"Where'd all that vigor go?" Lynn grabbed Tyler by the head, he tried to grab at her wrist to get her to stop, but there was no stopping the sports loving girl as she slammed his head into the locker, only to yank his head forward and do it again, and again. By the third time Tyler had his head hit the locker it was heavily dented, he was out cold, sliding to the ground the moment he was let go.

Lynn had no warning when she felt a hit to the back of her head, her entire skull started ringing out in agony in response to that, she saw Brandon standing there having hit her with the thickest book he had in his backpack. The sporty Loud withstood the pain, turning to him, she sent out a swift straight kick to his stomach, giving him no chance to react and causing him to hunch over from the sheer force of the hit. Lynn then wrapped an arm around Brandon's neck and put him into a headlock. Brandon tried clawing at her, hitting her in the sides, the legs, Lynn tolerated the blows though, she looked like she saw it as nothing but the desperate flailing of a trapped rat.

"Come on, what's the matter?" The sporty teen taunted them with a laugh, not giving him any further chance to act, she slammed her free fist into Brandon's head, it was enough to daze him further, Lynn reeled her right leg back before swinging forward as hard as she could, right into Brandon's chest, letting him go and sending him toppling onto his back once again.

"Aggh... N-No more, please... I'm sorry... I'm so, so sorry..." Brandon whimpered, feeling like everything in his upper body hurt, he felt Lynn put her foot on his head, slowly twisting and applying pressure to his aching dome, causing her opponent to cringe and wince in pain as he laid there.

"You think we're even CLOSE to done?" Lynn questioned, taking her foot away from his head as she reached down and placed a hand around Brandon's throat, all he saw was a terrifying expression on the Loud girl's face, it was one of pure enthrallment, excitement, and pleasure.

"Now you got two options here, you give me everything out of your wallets and slink away apologizing, or you can take a few more hits and go try to tattle with a broken jaw, but who do you think they're going to believe? The poor girl with the broken skull, or the two idiots that can't go one week without starting trouble? And trust me, I was just getting started!" Lynn asked Brandon, her face getting closer and closer to his as she spoke. He was nothing short of terrified now, he felt a hard punch to his face, causing his nose to begin bleeding, the red ooze running down his lips, much to his further agony.

Clyde could only stare in wide-eyed horror at what he had just witnessed, he had managed to stop the bleeding and was half expecting to have to get involved to stop a fight, he was very wrong in that aspect. The glasses wearing teenager watched as Brandon took out his wallet, not hesitating to hand over all the cash he had held inside, he was then thrown over in the unconscious Tyler's direction, he was forced to hand over the money in Tyler's wallet as well, the entire time apologizing like his life depended on it.

After Lynn got the money from the two that had crossed her, she went over to Clyde and helped him up to his feet. She felt things starting to return to normal, the red tint fading from her vision, leaving as fast as it had came. It was strange to Lynn, whenever a personality took over normally, she felt like she was locked away in a dark place and forced to watch her body do things out of her control, this time? It felt like she had been working in tandem with the split personality. It wasn't much, but it was important enough that she made a note of it nonetheless.

"You alright, Clyde?" Lynn asked, Clyde was still absorbing the whole situation and what had just happened before him. To top that all off, now here Lynn was, acting perfectly normal again.

"Ye... Yeah, you really don't pull your punches anymore, huh?" Clyde rhetorically spoke, he saw the brunette rub her head nervously, she shook her head.

"I just owed you one, that's all." Lynn said, looking down at the money in her hand and seeing it roughly amounted to 150 dollars, seeing that her hands had gotten some blood on them as well, she made sure to quickly put it away in her own wallet, beginning to guide Clyde away.

"Come on, I'll help you clean up, just do me a favor and don't tell Lincoln, please." Lynn requested while leaving the two aggressive bullies behind after having taught them their lesson.

"Lynn, I can't promise anything like that, he's like a brother to me." Clyde had to reply, uncertain as to why, but it felt like she was rather desperate to have this kept quiet. Lynn appeared disheartened upon hearing that, the black-haired boy pondered on it momentarily, sighing. "... But if he doesn't ask, then I have no reason to talk about it." He partially agreed, feeling he owed it to her since she fought on his behalf, unaware of the truth of the matter.

"Thanks a lot, let's get you patched up, I think class starts in ten minutes." Lynn expressed her gratitude, she had an expression of peace on her face, her head might hurt some, yet it was nice and quiet for the time being. She wondered if suppressing one voice or being taken over by one would quiet down the others simultaneously, it was hard to tell so far. Clyde was simply scared of the fact he had seen Lynn not hold back whatsoever there, he remained quiet though, wanting to just put this incident behind them already.
