Today had been a good day for Lincoln loud,like he suspected the bullying and name calling had stuck and sure most were surprised to see Lincoln out of the costume but none of that affected him as he was finally back to his old self again,his friends and especially Clyde was beyond happy to see him like this again and all that gave him the energy to work better in class.
As of right now he was at home and he went to his bedroom to find that his parents were in the middle of moving his furniture back in and Lincoln decided to help too,the parents were happy to see their son in such a good mood,they managed to get his bed and wardrobe back in their rightful places.
When the sisters got home guy they also noticed that Lincoln had a boost in happiness and they all planned to make that last,the twins had been awfully quiet since they got home,they had been mostly quiet since this morning in the van,maybe now they'll listen to reason.
Speaking of 'listening to reason',the family noticed that a certain sports crazed daughter/sister of theirs had not appeared yet.
...
"Hey this Lynn loud I'm not here right now,probably busy shooting baskets,scoring some goals and what not but point is I'm not here,so leave a message at the sound of the beep" Lynn's voice mail finished off with you guessed it,a beep.
All the family surrounding Rita holding her phone trying to get hold of Lynn,that is now the third time they tried her phone and it went to voicemail,what could she be doing?they were all starting to get worried for their currently missing family member.
"this is literally the worst situation" said Lori "this is so not like her"
"Okay everyone let's not panic,I'm sure there's a good explanation" Lynn senior said trying to calm his family.
"Do you think she's still salty from this morning" Luna chimed in.
"If she is then that's no excuse for staying behind for so long" Rita responded,a mixture of worry and disappointment in her voice.
The man with the plan aka Lincoln looked to Lisa "hey Lisa you wouldn't happen to have our school schedules would you"
"As a matter of fact I do and I checked Lynns and found no after school activities,just her normal lessons" Lisa explained.
This earned a sigh from Lincoln,he rested his chin on his fist "then I think we have a problem,when did you all last see her?" he asked all his sisters,to which they all began to ponder that question.
After a while Lucy spoke up with her answer "Well I saw her in the halls one time and another on the way to the bathroom during recess"
Luan decided to speak up too "I last saw her on her way to physics class"
"Hmmm,what about after recess did anyone see her then" Lincoln continued.
He was met with silence,all the sisters shared unknowing glances.
"No one?" Lincoln asked looking between all his sisters.
Sighing,Lincoln slumped in the armchair he was currently sitting in,he's getting a bad feeling about this and creeping anxiety that this is somehow his fault,and he was the most worried out of all of them,she didn't answer any calls or texts,they checked with every sports club she goes to and even asked the school if they had seen her anywhere.
"What are we gonna do mom?" asked Luna leaning on the back rest of the coach from behind Rita.
"If nothing comes up in the next hour we could arrange a search party,maybe get the police involved" their mother answered.
That answer made all the kids hearts ache knowing that their sister could possibly be hurt or in some sort of trouble,personally they all wish for neither to happen.
"For now we'll just gonna have to wait and see" Rita said,the uneasiness was very apparent in her voice.
Just as she said that Rita's phone buzzed away,startling anyone in the room,Rita quickly grabbed it and looked at the caller id,it was the school principal.
And just like that all of Ritas worries melted away and a joyful smile split her face "It's your principal" she exclaimed,everyone eagerly leaned in.
Without hesitation she clicked the answer button and held it up to her ear before anyone could even blink.
"Hello?Mr Huggins" Rita started,confirming who was one the three side of the line,everyone in the room was on the edge of their seat.
"Is it good?" Rita asked,the onlooking family members exchanged looks with each other.
"She's okay?" those were the exact words the family wanted to hear.
"Okay...okay yes I'll come get her right now" Rita practically jumped off the sofa and took off to the door,phone still pressed to her ear,before skidding to a halt.
"Wait,honey the keys" she said to her husband,holding out her hand desperately,Lynn senior rummaged in his pocket,landing on the van keys and chucked them to his wife.
"Thank you mr Huggins,I'm on may way right now" she said as she caught the keys,hung up the phone and turned to the others "They found her she's still at the school now" collective sighs of relief filled the room.
"I'll go and collect her,I'll be right back" and just like that she was out the door.
"Would you like any of us to come with" Lynn shouted out to her,to which she shouted back "no it's fine,I'll be as quick as a bunny" and then she was off to the school.
"Well talk about dumb luck" Luan chuckled,receiving a few flat looks from the others,especially from Lincoln,and Luan shrunk down.
"I'm sorry,that was in poor taste" she admitted letting out a nervous chuckle.
Lynn didn't come out of that encounter quite as herself,it caused her to act very differently and one would notice a big change in her overall persona and attitude,she also had her hair down for a change and people started to notice,it was quite hard not to,but of course they didn't know why she's changed all of a sudden.
But I don't think they'd like the answer,because Lynn has been...let's say put to the side for now,and someone else has taken over the wheel.
Glitchtrap is here in Lynns body and he is enjoying the hell out of using it,such a healthy and active body for such a young girl,exactly what he needs but other than physical benefits there is also emotions,this morning she was angry,it was an anger that never seemed to end,he wondered what could've riled her up that bad,well when he finds out that'll probably be very useful to him in someway.
It was fun exploring the school and the various advancements in technology,quite an upgrade from when he was last here.
So 'Lynn' had gotten into a little trouble because she stayed behind after school,when in truth Glitchtrap had just begun plotting something,mainly for a certain large family of his hosts,but it was postponed due to the janitor finding him and reporting it to the principal.
And there he was sitting in the principals office humming a tune as Huggins was finishing up a phone call with what he assumed was his hosts mother given the confirmation at the beginning of the phone call.
"Yes I have her with me now...okay yes,thank you...have a good day" he finished before clicking the telephone in place on its holder,and gave Lynn a hard stare.
"Now judging by how relieved your mother sounded,she was quite worried for you" Huggins interlocked his fingers,placing combined hands on his desk.
Stopping the humming the disguised entity sat up in the chair crossing his new legs and spoke through Lynns voice.
"Huh,great family"Glitchtrap commented.
"Miss loud please take this seriously" Huggins snapped "you stayed behind after school with no word to anyone about your whereabouts,your lucky I called when did otherwise she may have been close to getting the police involved"
"So what I needed some me time" Glitchtrap smirked with a shrug as if it was no big deal.
Huggins growled in annoyance rubbing his temple,he wasn't taking kindly to this 'girl's' attitude.
"You mind running by me why you decided stay behind again" Huggins sighed.
"I'm telling you right now,you wouldn't believe me if I told you" Glitchtrap stated,grin still on his 'borrowed' face.
"Try me" Huggins simply answered.
Glitchtrap thought for a minute and then settled on something to say.
"Okay then...let's pretend that I'm a...ghost of some sort and this is my first time being or more like feeling alive" Glitchtrap started "in a very...long...time" he finished slowly.
Huggins just stared blankly at the kid in front of him,trying to process what he just heard.
"Y'know what I never should've asked" Huggins sighed "okay then loud if we're gonna play games,then I need a cup of coffee" he said getting up.
"I told you didn't I?" Asked Glitchtrap smugly.
"I'll be right back" he said not even bothering to answer.
"Wait I haven't told you the best part yet" he called out.
"No I'm not interested thank you very much" Huggins said before opening the door "just stay there till I get back" he said finally before exiting the room.
The door clicked shut,leaving a chuckling Glitchtrap in the office.
"Oh it feels good to have a human body again" he said leaning back in his chair,using his new arms to rest them interlocked behind his hosts head.
Rita had just pulled up to the school's entrance to be greeted by the principal Huggins and her 'daughter' standing by the stairs,waiting.
Killing the engine she got out the van and rushed off in their direction,trapping the girl in a hug when she got there "oh you are in so much trouble young lady" she told her as she released the hug.
"Mrs loud" Huggins called,drawing the mother of eleven's attention to him.
"A moment of your time please" he gestured Rita to which she nodded,she turned to 'Lynn' one last time "go sit in the van I'll deal with you later" she ordered sternly.
"As you wish mother" came her response as she walked over to the van,Rita raised an eyebrow at the creepily calm tone she had but she didn't have time to think about that now,she turned to principal Huggins.
"Yes Huggins I'll be sure to keep a very good on her from now on" she told him.
"That's not why I wanted to speak with you actually" he responded.
"Oh then what's the problem?" she asked now confused,the principal placed both hands on his hips looking at the van where Lynn is and back to the mother.
"Well you see,your daughter has been acting...kinda funky today" he told her.
"Funky you say?" she asked,the eyebrow was raised again.
"Yeah,talking crazy as well" he added.
"What kind of crazy?" questioned the loud matriarch.
Huggins sighed "well for starters she's been saying..." he trailed off.
"Saying what mr Huggins?" Rita pumped.
"She's been saying she's possessed by a ghost" he finished to a very taken aback Rita.
"Possessed?" She asked slowly.
"Yep" confirmed Huggins.
A silence overtook them,none of them knowing what to say about that.
"Wow" Rita said disbelieving.
Huggins cleared his throat "not to accuse your child of anything but you don't suppose that could be an effect of...well...illegal substance"
Rita was taken aback once more,appalled by the thought "well I certainly hope not" now she was a little disturbed.
...
We cut to Glitchtrap watching the two adults outside talking from within vanzilla,hands against the window with fingers tapping a beat on the glass.
"Look at them,absolutely oblivious" he said almost dreamily "your mother has no idea what she is going to let into her home" he turned away from the window.
"I'm really looking forward to breaking your family apart...like I've done with so many others.
He let out a dark chuckle.
"And I think I know a good place to start" he added in a sadistic knowing tone.
3 weeks later
Funky was too kind of a word to describe Lynn's recent behaviour,she had been down rightstrange behaviour wise and personality wise as well,she hadn't been doing as well in sports games and tournaments,she hasn't been turning everything into some kind of challenge and she just hasn't been herself,the parents brought her to doctors and therapists to talk to her but they all say that they don't see anything wrong with her and for an extra measure Rita had her checked for any traces of drugs due to what the principal theorised,but that came out clear to the relief of both the parents.
But the most strangest thing about her change was the her new favourite colour...purple,shes been wearing a purple shirt for her every day attire,which was weird because Lynn didn't tend to like dark colours like that,all of the family even Lincoln tried to talk to her to better understand the sudden change but they're not getting anything out of her,and she's spending some time in her room working on a 'important project',no one bothered to even sneak in to see what was so special about this project.
And right now Lynn or more appropriately Glitchtrap,the one currently behind the wheel,so to speak was in his hosts room,he had learned a lot about this family,but what he really likes about it is how unique it is.
All the siblings have their own traits and personalities and he has to admit he has taken a liking to some of the siblings,it's just a shame they'll have to go at some point.
Upon his hosts bed sat tape,paper,scissors,cardboard and some matches.
"...And done" he exclaimed as he held up the finished piece of work,a round piece of cardboard with pictures of all the loud family kids and parents,the only member that wasn't there was his host Lynn,she has such a perfect body it would be stupid to get rid of it so soon,pencil drawn lines separated the pictures into sections,the matches stuck above them to be used as handles and in the middle sat another piece of cardboard that had been cut into an arrow,he has made a wheel of fortune,used for awful intentions,he gave it a small experimental spin to test if it worked,it did.
"Now the real fun can begin" said Glitchtrap and this time he gave the home made wheel a proper spin,the pictures at the top becoming blurred with the speed he spun it at,when it started to slow down Glitchtrap couldn't contain his excitement,wondering who was going to be his first victim...then the wheel finally stopped.
"Oh...how convenient" he tilted his hosts head,smiling happily.
Fourth chapter out,I decided to give you all a little taste of what Glitchtrap is up to before we get into the real meat of the story.
Note:
Also a couple of you concluded from the last chapter that Lynn would become loudtrap,while that does sound interesting that isn't my plan for the story,sorry if this disappoints any of you who think so.
But I do sort of understand why you'd think that
Anyway thank you all for the support on this story so far,I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
I'll see you all for the next one,peace out
