Chapter 241

Lincoln blinks once, then again and he opens them slowly and sees some light. 'Ah! That is bright.' Then he realizes. 'Wait a minute. Bright light! Am I dead?!' Lincoln sits up and he looks around, his eyes adjust and he sees that he's in a room of a hospital.

'I-I'm alive, I'm not dead.' But then he feels a stinging pain to his left side. Lincoln looks to his left side and he sees some stitching and a scar. The spot where the shotgun blast struck. 'I ….. I almost died.'

He recalls what had happened, their small concert at the Queen Venue in Delaware, the upsetting talk with Luna, the plan, the identity of the stalker revealed to be a relative to Chandler and the near loss of his sister Luna. Then he recalls what that bastard did next, and it almost got Luna killed and now almost got Lincoln killed.

Lincoln then looks around and he sees the map of Delaware on the wall. 'So we haven't left yet, okay then.' He then hears snoring and he spots Sully, Mazzy and Tabby fast asleep on the chairs near the door and leaning onto each other.

Lincoln then feels his left hadn being held by someone, he looks down and he sees it was Jordan. Fast asleep and holding onto his hand, and judging by her expression she cried herself to sleep 'Sleep tight my love.' Lincoln kisses her forehead which makes her stir a bit.

Lincoln then looks to his right and what he sees made his heart sank, lying down on another bed and passed out was Luna, with a small bandage on her right arm and Sam is holding her hand. "Luna?"

This makes Jordan wake up. "Lincoln?" she then sees he was awake. Lincoln looks to Jordan and immediately she hugs him. "Oh god! Lincoln you're awake!"

"What?!" Tabby and Mazzy wake up instantly, and this causes Sully to fall to the ground. "Ow."

They then race to Lincoln's side. Jordan cries her eyes out and smiles. "You're okay, you're awake now! Oh gosh! Lincoln, I thought I lost you forever!"

Lincoln hugs her back and strokes her hair. "I'm not going anywhere my love, not now, not ever. We'll always be together Jordan, always." He sees the tears coming from the three band mates. "Hey guys, what'd I miss?"

Sully and Mazzy then had some concerned looks and they looked towards Luna. "Luna, she …. She saved you" replied Mazzy.

"What do you mean?" asked Lincoln.

Then Sam wakes up, she rubs her eyes and looks around. "What time is it?" But when she sees Lincoln awake and sitting up. "Oh my god! Lincoln, you're awake!" Sam rushes towards him and joins in the hug with Jordan. "You're alive! Thank god you're alive!"

Lincoln also hugs Sam. "Yeah, yeah. I'm fine. Sam, what happened after I was shot? What happened to Luna?"

They then break the hug, Lincoln could see some concerned looks from Jordan and Sam. "Guys, what the heck happened to my big sister? Why is she passed out on the bed? What's going on?"

Jordan decides to speak. "Lincoln, when you were brought here. You lost so much blood, the doctors were able to mend you're wounds and luckily no vital organs were hit, it just punched some …. Some part of you, from you're side."

"But the massive loss of blood was going to kill you" replied Sully. "And they needed to know if there was anyone who could donate some blood for you, but none of us were compatible and sure as heck your family couldn't come here on time either."

"But Luna" said Sam. "She has the same blood type as you do."

"And what would that be? I don't even know my blood type" said Lincoln.

"Linc, you're a B-positive" replied Tabby. "As it turns out, there are only four louds who have the same blood type would be you, Luna, Leni and Lily. We were kinda shocked that Jordan looked it up through her tablet, she had access to the medical records thanks to her god father. Peter Harris also called the louds, they're waiting for any call about you being awake."

"We'll call them later" replied Mazzy. "When we found out that Luna had the same blood type as you, she didn't hesitate and said she would give her life to make sure you live. So she laid down onto a bed next to yours and they attached these pipe things from her arm to your arm and the blood began the transfer."

Sam looks over to Luna who was still asleep. "Luna, she gave a pint of blood to you. She's going to be out for a while and won't wake up anytime soon. She did all of this to keep you alive, she's that devoted."

They then see Lincoln shedding some tears and then he breaks down and cries. They all gather towards Lincoln and hug him. Lincoln was hurt inside knowing that Luna was doing all of this to save his life after he tried to save hers, and now his sister's blood is running through his veins.

Soon, Lincoln stops crying. "Wha … What happened while I was out? After Luna …. Luna donated her blood to me?"

"Let us answer that one." they all turn around and they see Chunk, Mick Swagger and Kurt come into the room, with some papers. "Well, the doctor was right. You are awake which means you're technically recovered and you're discharged now, though the doctor suggests you take it easy on your side there, it might still be sore" said Kurt.

Lincoln then asks. "What happened? What happened while I was out?"

"Arnold McCann is no longer going to walk away anytime soon now that he's seen the light and Sam may have done way too much damage to his corpse, like a Jack the Ripper style thing" said Chunk.

Sam just looks down in anger. "That bastard deserved more than just death. I wish I could've beaten the shit out of him more and watched him beg for mercy and forgiveness." This was a side of Sam they did not see coming, except for that one time with Tyler, Hank and Hawk.

"Anyways, cops found out where the bloke lives and they raided his flat" said Mick. "He resides somewhere in Minnesota and they found out he had a lot of pictures, files and other things involving me and you lot, but mostly focused on Lincoln, Luna and Jordan. Almost like he got a tip from someone."

Lincoln and Jordan knew. "Chandler."

"Bingo mates" said Chunk. "Turns out, Arnold is Chandler's cousin, his lazy and fan obsessive cousin. He stayed in touch with Chandler and was told about Lincoln, Jordan and Luna, and they found cameras around his house that prove it all."

"He was a crazed and obsessed person who wanted all three of you kidnapped and tortured in the most heinous and vile way possible. The cops found so many disturbing things at his house and I am not going to speak of it. God, that man was psychotic."

"And it turns out, he was also responsible for ten dozen robberies at multiple gas stations and convenient stores around his town" said Mick. "The cash has been found and is being returned back to the owners, he used half the cash to fake his license and become my bus driver. Then he used the cash to try and follow all of us, he is as cruel and sneaky as a robber taking the Queen's crowned jewels."

Lincoln and the others were shocked to hear this, Chandler tipped off his cousin and he tries to kill them, or worse do something vile and evil. Jordan and Sam couldn't imagine what else could've happened to all of them while on this tour and if they got caught.

"Luckily, with his death he won't be a problem" replied Chunk. "And they got a lot of evidence, therefore you're old enemy Chandler just got an extension to his time in juvie, he won't be getting out for a long, long time and pretty much the last name McCann is now as evil as Hitler and I'm sure his distant relatives are not going to like it when they get rejected and hated by the world."

That was one good news they all liked to hear, the nightmare from that stalker is over and they don't have to worry about him anymore. Lincoln then looks to Luna, he then gives Jordan and hug and a quick kiss on the lips and then he gets out of the bed, luckily he has nothing else connected to him.

Lincoln slowly walks towards Luna, with the help of Sam of course. He does feel kinda sore from his injury and he holds Luna's hand. "Luna, I'm sorry you had to do this for me."

"Don't be sorry Lincoln, she did what she had to do as your legal guardian" said Sam. "She wanted to fulfill what she was tasked and sure as heck she did pretty well. Be thankful she saved you."

Lincoln strokes his sister's cheek and kisses her hand. "Thank you Lunes." Lincoln wipes away a few tears, then he hears some talking out the window. "What's that noise?"

Mick then recalls. "Oh right, well about that." They all look out the window and they see a large crowd of people at the other side of the hospital fence and all of them are camping and holding signs saying. "Get well soon Lincoln." "Rock on and fight on kid." "We love you Lincoln, don't go to the lord yet." "You have so much to live for."

They were all amazed by the number of fans who came all this way to see Lincoln get well, heck they even see the ten people they met from New Jersey also there. Thankfully, they can't see through the window.

Lincoln then walks away from the window and is about to go to Luna's side, but then Mazzy hands him his phone. "Your family is on the line Lincoln, they wanna talk to you."

Lincoln takes the phone. "Hello?"

"Lincoln!" They're voices could be heard by the others.

"Oh my baby! Are you alright? Is anything broken? Where's Luna?"

"How bad are you hurt?! How is Luna? How is everyone there? Are you feeling okay champ?"

"Please tell us you're okay! I literally don't know what I would do if you aren't fine!"

"Linky! Are you there?! It's me, Leni! Do you have amnesia?! Are you feeling alright?"

"No time for jokes bro, are you fine? Is Luna fine?! Did you get hurt badly? Are you and Luna alright?"

"Do you want us to come down there?! I can beat the living crap out of whoever did this to you!"

"Linc …Lincoln, big brother! I … I thought I saw you last night. P-Please tell me you're not gonna die!"

"Lincoln! Don't leave us yet Lincoln! We miss you! Don't die big brother!"

"Tell me how you're feeling right now. Any sudden sores? Pains? Any vital organs ruptured or badly damaged? Do you require my analysis on your condition? What is your current status?"

"Winky! Winky! Winky! Lily miss Winky and Woona."

"Lincoln, Jordan didn't answer her phone, is my daughter alright?"

"Did Jordan get hurt? We saw on the news about the man who shot you! What's going on?"

Lincoln is surprised on how much they're all so worried about them and asking so many questions that it's hard to understand. Lincoln sees Tabby shedding some tears and talking to her phone, she must be calling Lincoln's best friend Liam and then he sees Sam also talking on her phone, obviously to Simon and Stella. Lincoln had a lot to explain when they get back to Royal Woods.

'Guys, guys. Please calm down. I'm fine, I got a scar from the shot and I'm all healed up and I can leave the hospital" replied Lincoln. He then tries to speak calmly. "Luna she … She saved me, but, but she ..."

"But what Lincoln? What happened to your sister? What happened to Luna Lincoln?"

"I …. I lost a lot of blood." He can hear many gasping sounds on the phone. "Luna, she …. She donated her blood to me, a pint. She … She's asleep right now, she's asleep and she … She saved me."

"It would make sense as to why she would do this, from my past research Lincoln, Luna, Leni and Lily have the same blood type. Type B-Positive and from old documents that blood type is shared from our ancestor Harriet Willard."

"Great Grandma H-Harriet is a Type B-Positive? Oh thank goodness, I should thank her for this later."

Lincoln chuckles at how much they all are worried and then he sighs. "Guys, as much as I wanna talk some more. I wanna be alone and be with my legal guardian, please?"

"We understand Lincoln, she saved your life and we're all so greatful for that sport. Make sure she knows we're all proud of what she did and we're hoping you guys come back home. We love you kiddo."

"Come home soon Lincoln, we all miss you so much. It's you choice to go with the return home plan."

"I miss you guys too and I love all of you, also Jordan is fine. She's just a total mess after what had happened to me" replied Lincoln.

"Oh thank god! Thank you Lincoln for that."

"Be safe guys, we know you'll all come back home soon and we're hoping you're all going to be better. Tell Jordan we love her."

Jordan takes the phone. "I love you too mom and dad and I miss you guys so much!"

Lincoln then speaks to all of them. "We'll call you guys later, and we'll be home soon. Bye guys." Lincoln then hangs up the phone and he places it onto the table.

Lincoln then walks over to his unconscious sister and he lays down next to her. He looks to her sleeping face and snuggles closer and hugs her with tears of joy. "Thank you, thank you so much Luna. I love you so, so much big sis."

Jordan then looks to the others. "I think Lincoln needs some time with his big sister, let's give them some alone time." They all agree and are about to head out.

But Sam goes over and kisses Luna and Lincoln on their cheeks. "Stay together you two, you both need each other more." Lincoln nods and he sits up and hugs Sam and she hugs him back. Sam then breaks from the hug and walks out the door.

Jordan goes over and she hugs Lincoln, they share a small kiss and look to each other. "Be here, for when Luna wakes up and have a small sibling talk moment. Okay?"

Lincoln nods and he kisses Jordan's cheek. "I will, she did so much for us and this …. This has to be her finest moment, to save mine." Lincoln and Jordan share one last hug and then they depart, Jordan waves to Lincoln as she leaves the room.

Lincoln the goes back to lying down onto the bed next to Luna. He looks to his sleeping sister and then he sees her move her arms and pull him closer to her.

Lincoln also hugs Luna and kisses her cheek. Luna smiles and she sleepily strokes his hair and kisses his forehead. "Goodnight my little brother, Luna loves you."

Lincoln snuggles close and he closes his eyes. "Lincoln loves you too Luna, always." He then closes his eyes and falls asleep in his sister's embrace.

(An hour later.)

Lincoln slowly opens his eyes and he feels someone stroking his hair constantly. Lincoln looks up and he sees Luna wide awake, sitting up and stroking his hair. She then goes closer and kisses his forehead and smiles. "Hey there little brother."

Lincoln smiles and sheds some tears seeing his sister awake. Lincoln sits up and hugs her. "Luna! You're awake! I'm so happy! Thank you for saving me Luna! Thank you!"

Luna hugs him back and also sheds some tears. "After what you did for me, I would give my life to save you from danger." Luna then rocks back and forth to calm down her crying little brother.

They stay like this for a while and soon enough, Lincoln calms down. They both break away from the hug and look to each other. "Lincoln, what you did was almost stupid, reckless and unbelievably not cool!" Lincoln looks down with some sadness.

"I … I didn't want you to g-get hurt, or killed! I'm sorry Luna, but I just didn't wanna lose you."

Luna then raises his head so he could look at her. "But, I am thankful that you did that for me little brother, you saved me from getting killed but only for yourself to get nearly killed, let's just be greatful both of us get to walk away and still see the light of day and the faces of our loved ones." Luna then hugs Lincoln once again.

Lincoln sheds some tears as he hugs Luna back. "Thank you sis, for saving me from my own slow death. I don't know want could've happened if you or myself were gone." Lincoln snuggles closer to his sister's chest and just let's his emotions out.

Luna strokes his white hair aside and kisses his forehead and then she rests her head on top of his. "That's what I'm here for my wayward son, I'll always be there to save you from trouble, danger or possibly death. As your devoted legal guardian, no one is taking you away from me, ever."

Sam and Jordan can see this through the doors window and they smile, Luna's awake and it looks like Lincoln and Luna are both talking it out with all of their emotions pouring out. They walk away to let them have this brother and sister moment.

Lincoln and Luna break the hug. "Lincoln, we should go home now, it's for the best."

Lincoln is stunned by this. "No, not yet."

Luna is confused and concerned by this. "Lincoln, the tour is over. That guy is gone and we're safe now, we can't stay on the road any longer and the rents and sibs are worried about us and possibly all of Royal Woods. Why would you wanna keep going little bro?"

"Because we're not done yet" replied Lincoln, he looks to the calendar. "Luna, this is the last day of the tour and we have to make this last day count. I'm recovered and so are you and I know that it's way too late for us to go to the next state and venue. I think Delaware should be known that we're both doing fine and that we're ready to let out one last gig, for the fans, the true fans of the Luna-Tics and Eagle's duo."

Luna chuckles. "Is that what you're calling you and Jordan now?"

Lincoln smirks. "Maybe. So what do you say sis? One last gig?"

Luna doesn't wanna do this, but she sees that Lincoln is determined to go through with it, his passion to see his sister rock it out is back and he seems to be recovered from his near death experience. This puts a smile on Luna's face, her brother is back and better than ever.

"Okay little bro, okay" replied Luna, she kisses his forehead and hugs her little brother. "One last gig, for this last day on tour with the band."

Lincoln hugs Luna and then he sees an image of a landmark on the wall and an upcoming event that could mark as their greatest moment. He then recalls Luna's new song. "And I think I know just the place for it."

(Rehoboth Beach Band stand.)

The lights are on, the crowd is cheering and the cameras are live and ready for them. The gear is set up and everyone is cheering the names of the Luna-Tics and the Eagle's Duo.

Lincoln, Luna, Jordan, Sam, Tabby, Sully and Mazzy are all locked, loaded and ready for this last gig. They all look through the lyric sheets to Luna's new song, which they have all been able to memorize through the whole tour.

Lincoln finishes tuning his guitar and looks to all of them. "You guys ready for this?"

"One last run, one last gig for this last day on the tour" said Jordan, she kisses his cheek. "You really know how to come up with the best plans handsome and we're glad you're still with us."

"Ain't nothing nor nobody gonna drag me down, this is going to be our finest moment. So let's show them what we got, in the form of Luna's newest summer song" replied Lincoln.

Luna chuckles hearing this. "You're being too kind for your own good baby bro." She goes over and hugs him. "This is like a comeback and a recovery concert."

"And the start of the Delaware musical festival, which is a one week event and you guys are starting it off with this comeback/recovery gig." Kurt and Mick Swagger arrive towards them. "We wish you guys the best of luck and to give it you're all."

"You sure you can do this kid?" asked Mick. "Aren't you still sore from you're painful experience?"

Lincoln moves a bit. "Not at the moment, right now all I'm feeling is the energy of the beats and support from those who I care for." The band all smile hearing that, they were glad Lincoln was back and running like an eagle champ.

"You sure you don't wanna go on stage Mick?" asked Sam. Tabby puts on her neon DJ helmet.

Mick smirks. "Not this time luv's, this is your time and those people are calling your names, in the far future everyone will still be cheering the names of: Luna, Sam, Lincoln, Jordan, Sully, Mazzy and Tabby. You lot are making history as the most extraordinary band to have ever rocked with the legends, such as me, now get out there and show them what you can all do!"

"And you lot can also keep the tour bus, it's all on me" said Mick. "You all earned it, and who knows? Maybe you can all use it for some other long distance gigs."

Sully chuckles. "Well, looks like Chunk might have a new place to sleep in when we're all planning on a musical gig soon." They all laugh at that one.

Luna looks to her idol. "Thank you Mick, for everything." The other also said their thanks to the rock and roll legend.

Mick Swagger nods. "My pleasure Luna, you're all the future of the music business and I know you'll all do great in the future, a future I look forward to."

They all nod and see Chunk waving at them. "45 seconds mates, then its show time."

They all get ready to leave through the curtains. Luna looks to Lincoln. "You ready Linc?"

Lincoln takes a deep breath. "As ready as I'll ever be, but this isn't about me." He looks to the band. "This is about us, all of us."

"Then let's go out there, and be legendary" said Luna.

They all nod and as Chunk gives them the signal they all get on stage and the roar of the crowd is heard throughout the beach resort and they perform Luna's new song. "Mermaid."

(Nighttime, on the road.)

The tour bus of the Luna-Tics is on the drive out of the city of Delaware and is trying to make a bee line for the nearest road back to Michigan.

Sully and Mazzy are fast asleep and are both on the same bed, what they don't know is that Mazzy is comfortably laying on top of her band mate and things might get intimate between them whe they get back home.

Tabby is fast asleep on the passenger's seat, with her DJ helmet to her left arm and her rooster plushie to her right arm.

Chunk is awake and listening to some soothing tunes to calm his mind and continue driving, he did say he was planning on a one week sleeping thing. He also referred himself to a bear mode? What?

Jordan is asleep and leaning onto Lincoln's shoulder, Sam is also asleep and leaning onto Luna's shoulder. Lincoln and Luna are still awake and leaning onto each other and looking to the open sky light above the bus at the stars twinkling high above.

Lincoln closes his eyes and holds onto Jordan and Luna's hand, and he snuggles closer onto Luna's side. "Thank you Luna, thanks mom. For everything. I love you sis." Lincoln then falls asleep with a smile.

Luna holds onto Sam's hand and then onto Lincoln's hand and she kisses his forehead and she lets her read rest onto his. "You're welcome my baby brother, Luna loves you too Linc. Always." Luna then closes her eyes and she also sleeps.

The tour is over, and the way home is clear and Royal Woods Michigan await the comeback of the band who showed them who they are, what can they do and why they are here.
