Chapter Ten: Hellhound

I tapped my fingers on the book that I was reading, enjoying the music that was flooding my ears. I listening to the music through headphones that Luna had gotten me for my last birthday. Admittedly (and I still felt guilty about it), I hadn't used them since I got them.

Why is it now in particular that I decided to use these headphones? It's actually a very simple answer. It was because Lana and Lola (my lovely sisters and roommates) were fighting once again. About what? To be one hundred percent honest, I honestly don't know. As I was reading my book, the two of them came in and were yelling at each other. From there, it didn't take long for their fight to go from yelling to fighting. They didn't seem to be damaging much or injuring each other a great deal, so I just took out these headphones and just tried to drown them out.

What? If you had to deal with Lana and Lola as much as I do, you'd know that it'll help you a great deal to learn when pick your battles with them. And learn when to get involved and try to break them up, and when to just let them tire themselves out.

Just then, I heard a knock at the door. Seeing that my roommates were…busy, I set down both my headphones and book before getting off of my bed and heading over to the door. I opened it, seeing Leni standing at the door, "Hey Leni."

"Hey Lena!" I couldn't help but smile. I couldn't help it, Leni's positive attitude can be very infectious. "Lucy wanted me to come get everybody downstairs."

I titled my head, "What for?"

"A lot of us agreed to have a movie night with the TV free due to mom and dad out," our parents had head out for a date night, leaving Lori in charge until they returned, "and Lucy had gotten everyone to agree to let her choose the movie. She's got the movie ready and wanted to come and get everyone for the film."

"Okay. I'll take care of Lana and Lola, and we'll be downstairs in a little while."

"Alright, see you guys downstairs," Leni ran a hand through her hair, causing the sunglasses on her head to fall over her eyes, "Oh. Guess I'll have to wait out the solar eclipse."

I just looked at her with complete and utter confusion, "Leni."

"Yeah?"

"Can you lean down a bit please?"

"Sure," as she did so, I took the sunglasses off of her head. Leni stood up and her eyes appeared to widened in amazement, "Woooooooow. You're like a wizard. Or a weathergirl."

"Suuuure," I commented before handing her glasses back, "Here you go. I'm…gonna go get the twins."

"Kay!" Leni put her sunglasses back on her head and headed back down the stairs. I gave her one last look before heading back into the room. I saw that Lana and Lola had calmed down just a little bit, as they were now just sitting on the floor and were slapping each other, as opposed to rolling around the room leaving a trail of chaos and destruction in their path. Kinda like their own version of a tornado.

"Guys." They didn't hear me, "Guys." They still didn't hear me, "GUYS!" They immediately froze in what they were doing (Lola pressing her palm into Lana's cheek and Lana with a fistful of Lola's hair). I may not like to raise my voice, but I can be pretty loud when I want to (Lori told me. Although, it's become clear that any Loud kid is capable of being loud (1) when they want to). "Lucy picked out a movie and we're all gonna go watch. Come on."

"Fine. As long as seated the farthest away from her," Lola snarled, pointing at Lana.

"Hey! You aren't exactly a gem to be around either," Lana shot back. I sighed. It felt like this was gonna be a long movie.

[+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+]

The three of us and all of our siblings had finally joined together in the living room. Lori and Leni had made a large amount of snacks for the movie, ranging from popcorn and soda to candy and even a pizza (just like the actual movie theatres). Lori, Leni, and Luna were sitting on the couch, with Lori holding Lily and me sitting on Leni's lap. Luan and Lynn were sitting on the floor at opposite ends of the couch, with Lola and Lisa sitting in-between them. Lisa was messing with some…odd device while on the floor. It was a gray rectangular cube-like object that was dark gray in color with a red bulb on top and two green triangle-like objects that stuck out from the sides of the top, along with a dark purple switch on its side. It was odd, but she wasn't really bothering anybody…so the others left her alone.

Lincoln was sitting on the armchair with Lana. Lucy had Lynn move the living room table to behind the couch (I suspect that Lucy didn't mean for Lynn to physically throw the table behind the couch, but I suppose that's beside the point) and was standing next to the TV, holding a DVD case in her hands.

"Thank you all for gathering, and letting me choose the movie. I'm so excited that my heart is nearly bursting with joy," Lucy spoke in her usual monotone voice and expressionless face. I know it's odd, but she is happy. Trust me. When you've known Lucy for as long as me, any of our siblings, and our parents have, you can tell when she's really happy.

"No problem Luce," Lynn waved off, "I just hope that this movie is worth it."

"It is," Lucy answered.

"What's it called anyway?" Lincoln asked.

"Hellhound (2)."

"Lucy! You're not supposed to be using that kind of language."

Lucy moved her hand underneath her bangs, presumably to rub her eyelids, "Leni…that's the name of the movie."

"Oh."

"Hold on Lucy," Lori called out, "Are you sure that this is an appropriate movie to show? I know that you're used to more of these horror…monster…supernatural stuff, but won't about for the other younger ones?"

"Hey! We can handle it!" Lana called out, putting her hands on the armchair's…well, arm.

"Yeah, it's not a big deal. We're a lot tougher then you think," Lola joined in, crossing her arms.

"Personally, I am far too intelligent to be frightened by a made-up monster in some horror movie," Lisa commented, not looking up from her device.

"But what about Lena and Lily?" Lori asked.

"If it looks like things are getting really bad, you and Leni can just cover their eyes."

"Okay, but we don't have any blankets," Leni said with a hand on her chin, getting odd looks from most of our siblings.

"…You can cover both of their eyes," Lucy spoke to Lori, who merely nodded in response.

"Come on Lucy, put in the movie. Let's see what we got," Luna said, patting her hand on an arm of the couch.

"Yeah, mooooovie your butt Luce," Luan laughed at her own pun, while everyone else groaned. Lucy simply shook her head before she placed the disk in the DVD player. She sat down on the floor (in a spot where she wouldn't be blocking anyone's views) and pressed play on the remote, starting up the movie.

Admittedly, I was a little freaked out. I wasn't exactly the best at dealing with these monster…y movies (heck, I got freaked out by Predator (3), and that's not even a horror movie!). But…I can deal with it. Lucy seemed to really want us all to watch this film as a family, and I didn't want to upset her. Besides, Lori agreed to cover my (and Lily's) eyes if things got too intense.

I closed my eyes, took in a deep breath, and let it out, opening my eyes as the start menu showed up onscreen. I can do this.

[+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+]

I can't do this. I CAN'T DO THIS! I had spent virtually the entirety of the last hour clinging to Leni and covering my own eyes (Lori was too slow). The movie was one of those films about a group of teenagers/young adults messing around with some stuff that they shouldn't be messing around with and summoning and/or gaining the interest or anger of some…otherworldly being. In this instance, they end up summoning a hellhound (suddenly the title of the movie makes sense) from the Underworld. The creature itself was pretty scary too.

For starters, it had extremely powerful pyrokinesis. That means fire powers, which I learned from all the kinds of superhero material Lincoln has been showing me (I enjoy it, still surprised that I'm his only sister that does). It could breathe fire, turn its own body into fire (which can burn through almost anything and allow it to get virtually anywhere…meaning no amount of defense will keep it out), and it can even telekinetically control fire with ease.

Its supernatural senses also make it an expert hunter and tracker. It can sniff out prey that's over ten miles away, and can hear things even when trapped under several tons of rock (one of the main characters sacrificed their lives to try and kill it but causing an avalanche. It didn't work).

It's also near impossible to beat. No matter what kind of damage it done to it, it's on its feet and hunting again in mere moments.

But the thing that freaks me out the most of this creature is how intelligent it is.

We're barely halfway through the entire movie, and we've already seen too many instances of people being burned, ripped to shreds, or die in other (horrible) ways. How…in the HECK did Lucy think this would be a good movie for us to watch?!

I looked around the room to see that everybody was getting freaked out. Lola and Lana were clinging to Luan and Lincoln respectively (who's own faces were frozen in fear), Leni had placed her sunglasses over her eyes and was clinging to me just as much as I was to her, Lori was using her own body and a pillow to completely Lily from the movie's events (while covering her own eyes every few seconds), Luna had her headphones on and was barely peaking through the space in between her fingers, and even Lynn, Lisa, and Lucy herself were clearly uncomfortable from the film.

As the hellhound was pouncing on some poor man (honestly, I didn't really get into the film's plot), fangs and claws bared, Lucy grabbed the remote and stopped the movie.

"Okay," she spoke after a few seconds, gulping and her voice holding a bit more emotion then usual, "Maybe this movie wasn't the best choice."

"Oh, YEAH THINK?!" Lynn yelled out. The movie must have been even scarier then I thought if it freaked out even her.

"Lucy, did you pay for that DVD?" Lori asked.

"No. It's a rental."

"Good. Because tomorrow morning, I'm driving you back and you are returning that movie. Not to mention that you're not picking the movie for a movie night for quite a while"

"Understandable," Lucy shrugged.

Luan stood up, rubbing her eyes with Lola still clinging to her waist, "Well, that was…unpleasant," she grabbed onto Lola so she could more efficiently carry her in her arms.

"Understatement of the frickin' century," Luna muttered.

Lori stood up, Lily in her arms, "Okay everybody. Despite how…difficult it may be, it's time for bed. Mom and Dad won't get home until late, and we'll all be in trouble if we're awake and up when they get home."

Leni picked me up and began carrying me upstairs (just as Luan and Lincoln for doing for Lola and Lana respectively), and, honestly, I can't say that I minded.

I sighed, I get the feeling that sleep won't be coming so easily to any of us tonight.

[+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+]

(2 Hours Later)

My eyes shot open as a noise reminiscent (4) of thunder suddenly flooded my ears. I shot up in my bed, seeing Lana and Lola doing the same.

"What is that noise?! I am trying to get my BEAUTY SLEEP!" Lola's anger already freaked me out, and (somehow) the hair rolls, face mask, and cucumbers on her eyes made it worse. I think it's an appearance thing.

"Look!" Me and Lola followed where Lana was pointing and saw red light emerging from the door.

Throwing ourselves out of bed, the three of us raced to the door (tripping and climbing over each other as we did so) and opened it. When we did so, we were greeted with the sight of our siblings (excluding Leni) standing near the top of the stairs. It was as if everything and everyone in the hallway was glowing red.

I ran over to Lincoln and pulled on his pajama pant leg, "What's going on?"

"I don't know," he shrugged, "We all just heard some noise and raced out to see everything glowing green."

"We're gonna find out!" I turned and saw Lynn coming out of her and Lucy's room, a bat (for baseball, not the animal ones that Lucy has) in her hand at the ready. "Let's go!"

"Lynn!" Lori tried to grab her by the shirt, but our sporty sister had already sped past her. "LYNN GET BACK HERE!" Lori charged down the stairs like a bull after Lynn, the rest of us weren't very far behind.

We all immediately froze when we got downstairs. Why you may ask? Because there was (and I'm being so serious right now), literally, a portal in the living room! It was probably a little taller then Lori, and was dark red in color.

Leni was standing in front of it in her sleepwear, her eyes sparkling at it, "Oooooh. It so…beautiful."

"Leni! Get anyway from there!" Lori grabbed Leni's arm and pulled her over to us, before turning to glare at Lisa, "Lisa! What kind of experiment did you do now?"

Lisa looked up to glare right back at our eldest sister, "I'll have you that this wasn't my-," she suddenly gasped loudly before running to the couch. She looked back to us, that device she was messing around with earlier in her hands. She turned her head to Leni, a look of shock and anger on her face, "Leni."

"Yes?"

"Did you mess with Transportinator?"

"Your what?"

"The device in my hands. Did. You. Mess. With. It?"

"Oh, yeah. I came downstairs to make myself a midnight smoothie and I found your thingie on the table. I picked it up to put it in your room, and I flicked the switch on the side. Some weird thing came out of that bulb on the top and hit Lucy's movie. And then that swirly thingie appeared out of nothing."

Lisa's eyes widened to the size of dinner plates, her face went pale, and she nearly dropped the device in her hands, "Y-Y-You…WHAT?!" We all jumped at the sound of her voice. Much like Lucy, Lisa rather showed her emotions. So to hear her yell out like that in shock, anger, and fear really put us on edge.

"Lisa, what's wrong?" Lincoln put a hand on Lisa's shoulder.

"Yeah dude, what does that thing do?" Luna asked.

"This is bad," Lisa muttered to herself, "This is really bad."

"Lisa Marie Loud," this must be serious if Lori is using her full name, "What's happening?"

Before anyone could speak, the swirling red vortex began to…make a noise. It was a deep rumbling. Almost like a stomach growling, only much louder. Suddenly…something began to emerge from the portal. Something glowing a brighter red then the portal began to slowly emerge from the portal, getting larger and larger as it did so.

Our older siblings (Lori to Lincoln) pushed the rest of us behind them, Lynn holding her bat at the ready to beat down whatever showed up.

Within seconds, something large finally removed from the vortex and set firth on the ground. The vortex suddenly disappeared…and the red light that surrounded this…whatever it is began to die down. When it did, my heart felt like it had stopped and I was literally trembling in terror. And I could tell that my siblings were too.

Now, believe me when I say that I know how crazy what I'm about to say is gonna sound. But…it's the truth.

Standing in front of us…was the hellhound from the movie that we just watched today.

It was large, no smaller then a fully grown male lion (I like to watch nature and animal shows. They freaked me out a bit at first, but I've come to really enjoy (5)). Its entire body was completely covered in pitch black fur, a long tail (probably as long as Lucy is tall), and orange spikes that traveled along its spine. It had razor sharp fangs and claws, growling softly as its head stayed near the ground. It very slowly lifted its head up to face us…before suddenly shooting its eyes open, revealing them to be a (slightly) glowing yellow that had no pupils.

The hellhound stopped growling and simply stared at us with those eyes, squinting its eyes slightly as it did so. The creature then turned its head around, seeming to examine its surroundings before looking back to us.

"Who…are you?" All of us flinched and held onto each other tightly as the creature spoke to us. This wasn't much of a surprise, as the hellhound demonstrated high levels of intelligence and the ability to speak in the movie. It was the main reason as to how it served as such a threat in movie, combined with its…otherworldly abilities. We were all too shocked/scared to respond. The hellhound took a single step forward (which caused us all to take a step back) and showed us its fangs (no doubt in a threatening manner), "I asked you all a question."

"S-Step back furball!" Lynn held her bat up in a defensive/(somewhat) threatening manner of her own, but her shaking legs may have taken away a bit of the threat.

The hellhound scoffed, "So be it then. If you do not want to talk willing-," he stared at us with those glowing yellow eyes before smirking, showing his razor sharp teeth, "Perhaps I can help with that," he took another step forward, "Maybe by the loss of a limb or two." I clung to Luna's (as she was the closest older sibling to me) as I could feel tears running down by cheeks, being terrified out of my mind. Lana and Lola did the same, and I knew that they were scared too.

Lynn suddenly ran forth and smacked the hellhound across the face. The bat itself actually broke upon impact with the creature's face, who merely turned its head to the side. It slowly turned its head to my shocked and horrified sister, looking at her with (what I assumed to be) a look of disappointment and annoyance. "Pathetic," was the only response the hellhound offered before it backhanded (or backpawed?) her into the wall.

Lana, Lola, and myself screamed in terror as the hellhound slowly turned its head to the rest of us. He smirked before leaning his head back and letting out a monstrous roar.

Suddenly, some object came from our group and collided with the hellhound's face. He actually whined (like a dog) as some strange substance collided with him and leaked into his eyes. We all looked behind us to see Luan standing there with an outstretched arm.

"D-Did you just throw a pie at that creature?!" Lisa exclaimed, possibly sounding even more shocked by that then the hellhound.

"Oh well, you know…always good to have a spare banana cream pie. You know…just in case. Jokes and whatnot," Luan smiled sheepishly, rubbing the back of her head.

"MOVE!" Lori called out to all of us, mentioning all of us towards the stairs. She picked up Lynn and physically pulled her with us as we scrambled the stairs. Lori mentioned all of us into her and Leni's room, quickly locking the door and pushing a nightstand against it to serve as a barrier. She turned to Lisa, the fury evident in her eyes, "LISA! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT MACHINE?!"

Lisa flinched at Lori's voice for a brief second before sighing and taking it out, "It's my Transportinator, capable of creating a portal into the various realities of fictional media (TV shows, movies, etc.). The point of the device was to gain access to all different kinds of technology and knowledge invented and utilized with fiction, as a means to help benefit the world. When Leni activated the device and the beam struck Lucy's DVD, it opened up a gateway to that reality…bringing that creature from its reality into ours."

"Well, great job with that Lisa!" Lynn berated sarcastically, a hand holding her back (which no doubt hurt from the impact she took).

"This was not MY doing! None of this would be happening if Leni," she pointed to our second oldest sister, "hadn't tried messing with my machine!"

"Hey! It was an accident!"

Lincoln got in-between the two of them, "Okay, that's enough you guys! Arguing isn't gonna help the issue at hand!" He turned to the family genius (it's true), "Lisa, surely there has to be some kind of way to fix this. To send that thing back where it came from."

Lisa put a hand to her chin, "Yes, there is. If we can get our hands on that DVD, and I can shoot it with this," she held up her Transportinator, "It'll reopen the gateway between our realities. Then, all we'll have to do is shove the creature into the vortex and we'll be rid of it for good."

"Alright, so all we gotta do is get the DVD," Lana exclaimed.

"Easier said then done," Lisa replied, "With the underworldly creature in the living room with it."

"Who hits really hard," Lynn interjected, still rubbing her back.

Just then, we all heard a loud CRASH against the door. We all screamed in fear and surprise before huddling together at the back of the room. Claws burst through the door before tearing out a chunk of it. All of us were chilled to the bone as one of the hellhound's eyes appeared over the hole in the door.

He chuckled darkly, "Did you truly believe you could escape so easily?" His eye seemed to focus on Luan, "I think I'm gonna feast on your bones first for your insolence, child."

"Get the blankets! Out the window!" Lori quickly called out, her grabbing both her and Leni's blankets and tied them together. Leni raced into their shared closet and pulled out some spare blankets as the hellhound pushed the door to the floor. He smirked at us, licked his lips, and began slowly walking towards us.

Lynn took a baseball from…somewhere(?) and threw it at the hellhound with all of her might. He merely closed his eyes and let the baseball hit him in the face…which did absolutely nothing. He looked at the baseball on the floor and actually chuckled, "That's actually kind of cute. It's almost gonna make me regret this." The next thing I saw was Lynn on the ground, the hellhound holding her down with a paw to her chest, my eyes bulging out of my skull at its speed (seeing it in real life is so much different then seeing it in a movie). He bared his fangs at her, seemingly ready to take her head off.

"CHARGE!" Lana suddenly ran past all of us before anyone could stop her, her wrench in her hands. The hellhound looked up…only to get a wrench directly to the face. This time, he let out an even louder cry of pain then last time, leaping away and holding a paw to his face.

"MOVE NOW!" Lori threw the blanket rope that she and Leni had made, tied one end to her bed, and threw the other end outside. Scooping Lily into her arms, she climbed out of the window and looked to us, "Follow me!" She said, before sliding her way down. None of us wasted our time in listening to what she said. Leni took me up in her arms Luna motioned the twins and Lisa out the window first. After them was Lucy, Lincoln, and then Leni with me in her arms.

I couldn't help but shiver as I came into contact with the cold night air. As soon as we reached the ground, Leni set me onto the ground so she could help Lynn, Luan, and Luna down. As soon as we were all on the ground, Lynn took ahold of the blanket rope and tore it down.

"Come on!" Lori motioned for us all to follow her as she ran over to the front door, none of us were more then a foot away from her. Lori grabbed ahold of the front doorknob and flung the door open…just as we could see the hellhound ran across the top floor and slide on the rug up there.

I looked into the living room and my eyes widened as I saw what we were looking for, "The DVD!" My body seemed to move on its own as I ran towards the case.

"LENA!" I heard my siblings calling me, but my legs kept moving. I took ahold of the case just as I heard a roar from behind us. I turned around to see that hellhound had physically leaped past all of the stairs and had landed downstairs.

He turned his head towards us and snarled, "Alright…now you're just being pests." Lana ran forward with her wrench again, but, this time, he caught the tool in-between his teeth and threw her to the floor.

"LANA!" We all cried at once. I saw Lynn's face go red with rage as her entire being trembled. With a yell of anger and challenge, Lynn put her athletic talents and physical abilities to good use as she leapt off of the ground and wrapped her arms around the hellhound's neck.

The fiery creature roared and threw itself back, standing on his hind legs as he tried to throw her off. Deciding not to leave her alone, Luna, Luan, and Lincoln ran forward towards the hellhound. Luan and Lincoln dove down and grabbed him by the legs, as Luna ran forward at full speeds and rammed directly into the hellhound's chest. He fell backwards and landed on his back, to which Lynn quickly crawled over to the front of his neck so that she was on top of the hellhound. She put one hand to his throat and began mercilessly punching him in the face with her free hand.

The rest of our siblings ran around the living room and grabbed whatever they could to try to help Lynn, Luan, and Luna keep the hellhound down.

"Lena! Come on!" I was snapped out of my stunned frozen figure by Lisa's voice. Remembering the plan, I ran over to her with the case in my hands. Lisa flicked the switch on her Transportinator, causing the bulb on top to glow red in color.

Suddenly, we were snapped out of our concentration by Lynn's yell of terror and slight pain. We both turned to see our siblings scrambling off of the hellhound, who had stood up with rage in his eyes and his mouth literally smoking. "Now…I'm MAD!" He let out a monstrous roar that sounded louder and more terrifying then anything from earlier this night.

Just then, his mouth began glowing orange in color. My eyes widened in terror as I recognized what the hellhound was doing, and I'm sure that my siblings did too. We all dived towards the ground just as a stream of fire emerged from the hellhound's mouth. I felt the heat from the fire as it passed over my head and I was worried that my hair had caught on fire. When the heat died down, I looked behind me and my jaw literally hit the floor as I saw that the area behind us was black from being burned and there were still small pockets of fire that remained.

All of us must having been plainly wearing terrified expressions, because the hellhound was now smirking. He took a step closer to us, chuckling lowly and darkly, "It seems you're out of ideas little ones."

"Not exactly," Lucy (somehow) found the bravery to say and look the hellhound in his eyes.

He laughed, "Oh, is that a fact?"

Without another word, Lucy took Lily into her arms and covered her with her own body. As the hellhound took another step closer, Lucy suddenly threw something towards the hellhound's eyes. This time, he actually yelled (almost human-like) and covered his face with his arm.

When I looked back towards my goth sister and baby sister, I was about to ask Lucy what she threw…until I saw what.

Lily was naked. Lucy threw Lily's diaper at him. And based on his reaction and the smell, I think it was full.

"NOW!" Lucy said in a rare moment of emotion and yelling, directing it at me and Lisa. I held the DVD out as Lisa held the Transportinator out. A red beam of energy shot forth from the bulb and struck the case, I let it go as I did. In seconds…a swirling red vortex appeared, the same as from before.

I actually tackled Lucy and Lily out of the way as the hellhound began to glare at them through clouded eyes. I heard the hellhound yelling before I turned around and was able to see the hellhound's body as he fell down into the portal and disappeared in a bright white light at the bottom.

Lisa quickly turned the Transportinator off, causing the vortex to disappear.

The house was completely silent after the vortex disappeared. The only sounds you could hear was the sounds of our heavy breathing. As we all shared looks with one another, I thought that we all had something to say. However…we didn't say any of that.

Why you may ask? Because we all promptly fainted from our stress and exhaustion.

[+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+]

Very slowly, I opened my eyes. Almost immediately, I once again shut my eyes because of the bright light. When my eyes finally adjusted to the light, I opened them in confusion. The reason I was confused? The entire room looked…perfect. No flipped over furniture, no burn marks, no nothing. I looked over to see my siblings had all woken up as well, looking just as confused as me.

"Uh…what happened?" Luna asked.

"Um…I have an idea, but I'm not sure," Lincoln said.

"Oh hey kids!" We all turned to see mom and dad walking into the living room, smiles on their faces. Mom knelt down, "I see you decided to have a sleepover in the living room."

"Sleepover?" Lola asked.

"Yeah," Dad said, "We were gonna wake you guys up, but you guys looked too comfortable. Did you guys have fun?"

"Uh, yeah," Lori said.

"Good," Dad stood up, "Come on, let's go get some breakfast."

"Alright, we'll be there in a minute," when our parents walked out of the house, Lori turned to the rest of us, "…If we're all thinking the same thing that I'm assuming, let's just get this to ourselves right now."

"Yeah, I'm sure that it was some kind of weird shared dream anyway. I think I heard something like that online anyway," Lynn theorized.

"Agreed," we all said in unison.

(3rd Person P.O.V)

The hellhound from before was walking through a land of sand and fire. A frown was etched on his face, and his was softly growling...ignoring the sounds of screams and explosions in the background. "Those children were more formidable then I expected. I'm actually kind of impressed." He paused and looked towards you, the reader, "You're still here? Why? It's over. Bye. Oh, and one more thing-," he looked towards you, flames emerging from his mouth, "Happy Halloween."

(Author's Note: We're done. Before anyone asks…yes, the Loud kids just battled a hellhound. My original plan was a chapter involving trick-or-treating, but realized that it would mess up the timeline I had planned. So…this came up. I thought it'd be a decent Halloween-based chapter.

(1): Get it?;)

(2): Did I just say the title of the chapter in the chapter? Yes I did.

(3): CONTINUITY CALLBACK!

(4): What? Yeah kids can know big words too.

(5): That's actually how I am. I enjoy nature/animal shows too.

Whether or not you enjoyed the chapter, this is the chapter. I'm testing the waters a bit with this chapter to see if it'll be something of interest in the future. Given how late it is, there's a slight chance that this chapter may have suffered a bit. If that's the case, next one should be better (and I may make corrections to this one if I need to).

Constructive critism only, no flames please.

Review, favorite, follow, and I'll see you guys next time:)
