Intro:

This is not a story that has a happy beginning, no far from it in fact. This story begins on a stormy day in mid march. Our location is Royal Woods a small suburban town less then an hour from Detroit Michigan. Our cast is a large family of 13 with the last name Loud.

With that let us draw the curtains and let the story begin.

Chapter 1: Bad Things Happen

Lincoln Loud is the only son in a family with 10 sisters. The last few years had not been pleasent for the teen. Puberty was not easy on a young boy who is constantly surrounded by girls that he shouldn't lust after. Which only served to make him become withdrawn and moody. He took up playing the violin in secret, saving up birthday and christmas money he got from his Pop-pop to buy a nice electric violin(1), to release stress and calm his raging urges.

His mood only became worse the next year when his best friend Clyde McBride moved away due to Clyde's dads getting lucrative job offers on the west coast. Lincoln took to chopping wood for various neighbors, taking out his anger at the injustice of his life on the logs he chopped. Then came two things that started his spiral into depression.

First was Major Albert Loud, Rita's Father, Lincoln and sisters' Pop-pop was killed in an accident when a car smashed through a wall at the senior living facility that he was in. None of the Loud family were able to smile for the next three weeks, until Lynn Sr. commented that Pop-pop would want them to remember the fun they shared and celebrate his life instead of mourning his death.

Second Ronalda "Ronnie" Anne Santiago dumped Lincoln after only dating for a few weeks saying that she was uncomfortable with his new outlook on life and that she missed the old happy goofball he used to be. Lincoln couldn't find it in himself to argue with her, hell he hated himself too. But the worst thing happened later that year.

The whole Loud family was out to eat celebrating Lori, The Eldest Sister, getting into Michigan State University on scholarship. Lincoln got up to use the bathroom and step outside for a bit of fresh air. Luna, the 3rd eldest sister and the first to hold baby Lincoln, was worried about her only brother so quietly followed behind not knowing someone was following her as well.

Lincoln walked out of the bathroom and headed out the nearest exit only to see Luna fighting a man, who had a knife in one hand and her hands pinned above her head on the wall next to the dumpster with the other.

"Stop fighting whore, take my cock like the slut you are and maybe I won't kill you when I'm done. Hahahaha" The man cackled with an evil grin as he licked his lips.(2)

"Let her go." Lincoln snarled in rage.

"What?" the man asked looking around his eyes landed on Lincoln. "Scram kid, before I gut you, and then have my way with this whore."

"I said Let. Her. Go." Lincoln growled out in fury as he slowly made his way closer.

"No, run Lincoln. I don't want you to get hurt." Luna pleaded in a whimper as the man squeezed her hands together and dragged her off her feat. He turned the knife on Lincoln.

"What is he your boyfriend? Well how bout I gut him first, then maybe you'll be a docile little whore and hold still while I fuck you." The man sneered before throwing her hard into the side of the near by dumpster. "Come on you brave little boy, come to your death." an evil dark grin spread across his face.

"You hurt her." Lincoln growled. "You hurt Luna."

"So what, she's just a whore, a sluty dressed cock loving whore. That's all women are kid." The man sneered. Lincoln snapped at this rushing the man, using all the strength he gained from chopping wood to try to over power the man. They fell to the ground and rolled around fighting over control of the knife. Luna came groggily awake her head pounding and a bump forming on the side of her head. Her eyes widened as her vision started to clear only to watch as the man finally won the battle over the knife and plunged in into Lincoln's stomach. He got up leaving the knife. "Let that be a lesson to you kid. Being a hero isn't worth it." He turned back to Luna. "Now where were we?" He snarked as he stalked towards her. Her body refused to move as her eyes glazed over in fear and sadness at the loss of her only brother. The man reached to rip her clothes only to cough up blood and stare wide eyed as he fell to the ground.

"When you stab someone they better be dead, or you just gave them a weapon to use against you." Lincoln snarked. He dropped the knife and stumbled towards Luna, blood seemping through his orange polo shirt. "You okay Lu?" He asked.

"Li-Linc-LINCOLN?! You're alive?! Dude you're bleeding! we got to get you to a hospital!." Luna started to freak out. She quickly dialed 911. "Hello my brother's been stabbed by a guy who tried to rape me please send an ambulance, he's bleeding bad." She put the phone down and ripped off part of her shirt to use to try to sop the bleeding pulling pressure on the stab wound.

Lincolns consciousness started to fade. "I Love you Lu." Lincoln slurred. "Love you more then I ever did Ronnie. Only dated her cause I wouldn't ever have the chance with you. Had to tell you before..." and his world faded to black.

"No... no no... no no no no... Lincoln stay with me. You can't say something like that and then die on me. You stay with me dude, or so help me I'll get Lucy to summon your soul so I can kick your ass in the afterlife." Sirens could be heard as police and the ambulance approached. Everyone in the restaurant started to pour out to see what the commotion was. As soon as Rita saw Luna on her knees crying while pushing her hands down on Lincolns stomach she let out an ear piercing scream and fainted dead away, only Lynn Jr.'s quick reaction time stopped her from hitting the concrete. However her scream alerted the rest of the Louds to Lincoln's current fate and they all stared wide eyed at the gruesome scene in front of them.

Two EMTs took over Lincoln's care while a third checked Luna and bandaged her head. The Police first made the crowd back up to give them space to work. They proceeded to ask the manager of the restaurant if there were any security cameras faced at the area. After getting a brief nod, one of the officers was led back inside. Lincoln was loaded on a stretcher and quickly put into the ambulance. Luna was asked if she would like to ride along to which she gave a quick nod wincing at the pain that caused her head. As the ambulance trundled along towards the hospital Luna couldn't help but go over Lincolns last words to her in her head.

1. They do not reverberate like acoustic does, making them quieter when not plugged into an amp, easier to practice quietly.

2. At this point it should be pointed out that Lincoln is only 13 at this time and Luna is 17.
