Chapter 18: Enjoy a Day with Lynn

Lincoln walks in his room after coming from school. Everything was beginning to be normal. Well minus the fact that Lincoln is now a vampire. It's come to s surprise that everyone in Royal Woods have started to drop off gifts for the Loud family for their pity upon Lincoln. It wasn't his fault that life gave him two hard occasions, but now it seems like everything was going back the way it used to be. He looks at Lily where the baby sister was currently sleeping.

Meanwhile, it was the second day that one of the sisters has to watch him. Lucy was the first and only sister to know about Lincoln's condition. She just needs to give Lincoln more tomato juices in a cup while bringing a bottle of milk for the baby. The goth sister quickly move to Lincoln's room and left the bottle in front of the door. She knocks softly on the door for the boy to get his drink. As he reaches for the drink, Lucy quickly moves away from the door to see Lynn was walking towards the room. She only watched as Lynn knocked on the door with a smile on her face.

"Hey Lincoln, it's my turn to watch you for today," Lynn said. "Do you want to watch some TV? Or want to play catch?"

It was silent for a few seconds until Lincoln opened the door to reveal to have a sleeping Lily in his rooms.

"I'll be there, I just need to make sure Lily sleeps well," he spoke. "She almost woke up when you knock the door, but you didn't know."

"Oh, I'm sorry," Lynn added as she looks at Lily. "She look's comfortable around you. Much better then-"

"Don't. I don't want to hear her name," Lincoln cut in before he laid his baby sister onto her crib. "Alright, let's have some quality time."

Lincoln closed the door softly and then follows Lynn downstairs. Lucy then reappears at the hallway to see Lincoln and Lynn entering the living room. Maybe it was time to leave Lincoln alone and to have some family bounding with the rest of the family. Lynn and Lincoln now sat on the couch with Lynn's hand holding the control.

"Alright bro, what are we going to watch today?" she asked.

"I think we should watch ARRGH, if you don't mind."

Lynn smiles and turns on the TV. As she did, she thought something was off from the screen. For a moment, she thought she saw no sign of Lincoln's reflection. She rubs her eyes to see the television screen come to life. She then begins to channel some channels to go to Lincoln's favorite show. There the two siblings begin to see the group of paranormal investigators adventuring around a grave yard. Lynn didn't mind watching a show that didn't get her interest as long as she takes care of her brother. Lincoln on the other hand was feeling a bit uncomfortable. It reminded him of the time of the night he drink the blood of Lucy and Haiku.

Lynn glances on her little brother to notice something off about him. In a strange way, he looks more defined on his face, but he looks a bit scared as if something was coming to him in his mind. Lynn look back to see the dark area the paranormal group is in and notice it looks like it's closer to the woods. From there, Lynn believed it was bringing Lincoln back to where he was kidnapped. Lynn then decides to change the channel to an action movie with a guy shooting at a large tower where it just explodes many times. Lincoln felt a bit ease to see an action movie. He smile in relief and his eyes was glue to the movie. Lynn smile to see Lincoln smiling. In her way, it made her feel proud to make Lincoln comfortable.

After they watched some television, the two siblings went to the backyard for a simple catching game. It was a way for Lynn to engage in a sport activity where it's not too much for her brother. He is a victim after all. They each have their own baseball glove on with Lynn holding on to the baseball. Lincoln looks at the baseball knowing that his sporty sister might overdo it.

"Are you ready Lincoln?" she asked.

"Um... Yeah," he said a bit unsure.

Lynn then begins to set herself to throw the baseball, but it was a simple toss. Lincoln caught it, a bit surprise that it was too simple. He throws the ball back in a toss, where his sister easily caught it. For a few seconds, the two were just tossing the baseball back to one another. It was simple, but then Lynn wanted to speed it up a bit. She went back for a bit and then throws the ball forward. Lincoln closes his eyes from the incoming ball, but then his arm move itself. He opens his eyes and sees the ball in his hands. He felt relief before he throw back.

"Wow, you're actually getting better to catch incoming balls now," Lynn mentioned as she want to see if her brother can catch a fast one.

Lincoln feels confident building up due to his new abilities. Lynn then throws a fast ball at him, which in return his eyes followed the ball and he quickly catch it. Lincoln smiled seeing his abilities to see incoming items coming at him. He thought to himself if he can throw hard like his sister on a baseball game. He set his arms back and he throws the ball hard. Lynn in surprised held her glove in front of her to catch it, but the force pushed her back and drop her to the floor.

'Oh no!" thought the white haired boy as he ran up to his sister to see if she was okay.

He sees her sister was okay, but she took of her baseball gloves in pain. Lincoln felt bad for doing what he did, yet he notice something on her hand. He notices a small wound with a sight of blood on it.

"Lynn, I'm so sorry. I guess I was caught up in the moment," he excused himself.

"It's okay, I think I kind of did it first," said Lynn while she got up holding her hand. "That was a hard throw Lincoln. I'm surprised you have that kind of throw. I think I need a Band-Aid."

Lincoln wasn't focus on her words as he just stared at her blood.

"Umm, what if I help you with that?" Lincoln asked. "I-I learn this thing from Lucy that you can suck the wound to make it feel better."

"Lincoln I don't know if-"

Lynn was cut off when her brother launched forward onto her hand and begins to suck the wound. Lynn yelps a bit, but there was no pain. Lynn watched as her brother sucked her wound with care. She observes him closely seeing his eyes closed and his grasp on her hand was soft. It made her face feel a bit warm.

Lincoln stop sucking the wound to see the hand was better. He glance at Lynn to see her face a bit red.

"Oh... Sorry if I didn't asked you. I just-"

"No, it's okay," Lynn spoke. "You made my hand feel better. I just need to wash it now."

Lincoln stares at her running back to the house. He looks back at her baseball glove to see the ball in burn marks.

"I think I need Lucy to help me manage my powers safely."

Back in the house, Lynn was washing her hands in the bathroom. While doing it, she begins to think about her brother.

'He's changed so much,' she thought to herself. 'He's too kind, too caring, and I feel weird. What's going on with me?'
