Lincoln keeps his promise to Haiku

Meeting between Devoe and Louds quickly turned out one of the best things that happened to both families. In less than two hours practically everyone has found something for themselves.

Rita and Shirley quickly started talking about literature, when it turned out the latter has been publishing in the newspaper for years. That's why most of this time they spent sharing tips about writing or even reading their creations. However, it didn't mean hostess neglected other guests. In fact, she also had common subjects for a conversation with Luna and Leni and even Luan.

Musical sister found in Shirley second such big passionate of British rock, and tailor sister talking with her about fashion. However the most satisfied was Luan cause the woman had similar and an equally awful sense of humor. Because of this, everyone had to listen to their terrible jokes throughout the meeting. Well, only Lynn sr and Mr. Devoe laughed at them but both for different reasons. And when it comes to them, this meeting was almost like divine intervention. Everything because David was a businessman with a few opened restaurant chains and was ready opened a new one. That's why when he learned Lynn sr is a cooker, gave him an offer to became Masterchef of his new restaurant. Obviously none of this was agreed at this meeting, but both men were ready to become accomplices. completely different was with Lori, who was offered a summer job at Mr. Devoe's company as a secretary. Well, it wasn't her dream, but a good first step in making it come true and That's she accepted it without hesitance. However, not only Lori got a job offer, but also Loud artists and Lana. The first two got the opportunity to perform in the Devoe restaurant. Lana, on the other hand, when Mr. Devoe heard about her DIY and ironing talent got an offer to be his handyman. Obviously, as in the case, Lynn sr it was just suggestion but all four was more than the happy cause of it. Therefore, they were grateful to their brother without whom he made it possible and two of them thanked him for it. Luan gave him relief on April Fools' Day until he will end 18 years old and Lori gave him free rides. Well, Luna and Lana hadn't an idea how to thank him but promised they will come up with something.

Also, Lola and Lisa found something for them. little diva was just more than happy that could talk with People from high society. As she said it was perfect training for her before she will start meeting with rich and important people as a model. For his side, Lisa enjoyed it possible to study the course of the meeting between two groups of homo sapiens possessing blood relationships who have different social-behaviors natures.

That's why two hours later when Devoe served something to eat, everybody was in a really good mood. However, cause Haiku should back soon the meeting had to end. Lincoln was this who noticed it and stated:

- Well, Miss and Mr. Devoe I really thank you for this delicious treat however we have to go

, did something important happen to you?- Shirley asked with concern and sad cause didn't want to end this meeting

- Nothing like that. I just want to keep our meeting in secret against your daughter cause I wanna surprise her

- Oh, I'm sure that my little Vampire will really enjoy this surprise.

- So Can I count on your silence, miss Devoe?

- My mouth is silent.- The housewife said making a gesture as if she closed lips on the zip and blinking to him conspiratorially

-Thank you, I really appreciate it.- Boy thanked

- No Lincoln it's me thank you for what you did for my daughter.- Shirley replied.

- I just do what's right it's all. - Lincoln said before took her hand and, before kissed it, added:- Well I wanna continue our talk but we really have to go. Goodbye Shirley.

- Goodbye Lincoln I hope we meet again soon.- Shirley also said goodbye causing Lincoln friendly smile.

- Me too.- The boy replied before looked at her husband and offered her hand.- Goodbye Mr. Devoe I really thanks for accepting my offer.

-heh don't count your chickens before they're hatched, young man- Man took his hand and shaking it before came closer to him to whispered in his ear. but between us, I'm sure my daughter would be in good hands with you. - Then he stepped back and added- Well goodbye and good luck, young man.

After these and a few other goodbyes, Loud family finally left a Haiku's house.

Then this month was filled with more meetings. The first nine were between Haiku parents and a loud sibling. Their goal was to check if Loud is the right company for their daughter, and sometimes if they are fit for work. Well, apart from Lynn's somewhat violent attitude, or Luna's rebellious nature Devoe finally decided that Haiku could live with them. And so began another meeting, this time aimed at obtaining the status of Haiku's legal guardian by Loud parents. Therefore, all these meetings were in state offices and law firms, between the Loud parents and the parents of Haiku. Obviously it was not without small complications, but at the end of the month everything was ready, and the girl became part of a Loud family. Now they just had to inform about everything to Haiku, and Lincoln was the one who took this task. That's why now he was talking to her father on the phone:

Well Mr. Devoe everything is ready.

- Yes Lincoln and again really thanks for everything you have done for our daughter.

- As I said many times it's not necessary. Besides it's me who should thank you without your acceptance, it wouldn't be possible.

- Maybe but still I don't know anybody ready to so much sacrifice for a practical stranger and not only it. Thanks to you your sisters and father found new jobs.

- I still think you overestimate me but despite this thanks.- Lincoln said modestly before he asked:- Anyway I wanna ask you If Can I go out with your daughter to say her everything.

-Obviously young Loud, after all, it was your Idea. Besides I can't think of anybody better I'd be willing to leave my little girl with. So please take care her.- Devoe replied

- Don't worry I will take care of her like a hawk Mr. Devoe.- Lincoln promised.

- I hope, goodbye young man.- David said goodbye.

- Goodbye, Mr David.- Lincoln did the same and end the call. After all, he sighed and call to Haiku. Goth answered after a moment.

- Hello, you, who disturbing my sufferings.

- Hey, Haiku it's me Lincoln.- The boy replied

- Lincoln I didn't hear about you from almost three moon phases. You don't know how my dark soul is happy hearing your voice.- The girl said a bit happy.

- Same here Haiku. Anyway, I wanna ask if you wanna go out with me today.

- Hmm, it would be a nice change from the daily torments so gladly.- Goth agreed.

- Great so let meet in Griffin park at six P.m. Goodbye Haiku.

- Goodbye Lincoln.- Goth said goodbye and end the call.

About an hour and a half later, Vanzilla parked in front of the park with the boy ready for the meeting. Lincoln got of the car and holding opened door asked

- Lori, can you wait on me and Haiku?

- Sure, twerps.

- Thanks. I love you sis.- With these words, the boy closed his door and the passing the street went toward Griffin park. Covered by ivy and rusty fence for black forged iron and dark grey stone. The boy passed a massive gate and went to the park's area. He looked around seeing everywhere old trees everywhere, yellowed grass, thorns, nettles, weeds, cracked paths, destroyed benches, and rubbish. In short, it was a normal old and forgot park which could be the perfect scenery for horror movies. Even, a girl wearing a dress in the color of red wine, who was sitting on one of the benches with hands-on knees and with notebook fit here. Maybe even to match cause Lincoln almost missed her but at last moment noticed her presence and come to her. Haiku as if on a sixth sense she looked up and greeted him:

- Welcome Lincoln my dark soul couldn't wait to meet you.

- Same here Haiku.- Boy replied.

- So what a light being like you would like to do in a place of darkness like this.

-To be honest, I don't know, Lucy just said to me you like spent time here.- Lincoln said scratching back of his head:- So maybe you can show me around?

- Usually, Nothing would give my dark heart more pleasure than show beauties of the dark. However today I just wanna stay here and compliment the beauty of passing time and writing poems.

- If you wanna do it, why you accept it?- Lincoln asked surprised.

- Honestly, the anxieties of my dark soul make me have a creative block. That's why I was hoping that your light would show me the way as you do with your sister.- The gothic girl asked.

- So do you wanna read me poems and ask about opinion, isn't it?

- If it won't be a problem for you

-Not at all, but I think the walk might give us more inspiration,-Lincoln suggested.

- Maybe you are right, maybe the re-haunted places of this park will fill my dark heart with inspiration. Well let's go then- The girl agreed while getting up.

- Great, by the way, you'll be able to tell me a bit about this place. - The boy answered, following Haiku.

-With all the pleasure of my dark heart, Lincoln,- she said, walking with her hands folded at waist level. In this way, they began exploring the park. The girl shared her poems with him or told the story of different places in the park. For his part, the boy gave her rhymes, suggestions, or just listened. However even focused on her poetry, the boy couldn't help but noticed that Haiku really like a tragic love story. Just every place showed by her tell such a story.

first was a monument under which is possible can see the ghosts of men and women who always meet around midnight. Apparently it was then that they met at trysts. Until the man didn't come one day and the woman came back every day waiting for him. Eventually, she died, but even then her soul went to the monument just to see the ghost of his lover who was forced to leave and couldn't say goodbye. However, when he died his soul immediately went to found her. Unfortunately, they can be together just for three hours every day, before returning to the places where their bodies rest.

The second was grove where is possible to the met ghost of a man ho died looking for his lover who lost in this forest.

Next fountain around which appears the spirits of lovers from around the seventeenth century, and who were killed while trying to escape. All because the man was a black slave and the woman was the heiress of a cotton farmer. Unfortunately, they were discovered and forced to flee, but her father found them Eventually, the woman died protecting her lover, and soon he joined her. And so their souls could only be together after death.

Finally was a lake on whose edge they were currently standing. Haiku observed the sheets of water with crossing arms cause of chill Obviously Lincoln wanted to give her his jacket but she refused to claim to have to get used to the cold of the afterlife. That's why the boy only stood behind her and listen to a story about a woman who drowned herself here so as not to be forced to marry someone she did not love. When Haiku ended, the boy couldn't help but be curious and asked:

- Hey, Haiku sorry that I ask but if your love life was not very happy?

- My only experience was with your friend so I can't stated nothing. Why you ask?- Goth asked still observing the lake.

- Cause every place that we visited tell a story about tragic love.- Boy explained

- - Your mortal mind sees things from the wrong perspective. These are not tragic stories but stories about the power of love that even the grim reaper cannot stand up to.- Goth explained looking at him over a shoulder. Then she asked:- And if we talk of inability to face of something I'm ready.

- Ready on what?- The boy asked really surprised.

- Please Lincoln my dark soul immediately felt your real intentions and I am grateful to you that you wanted to ease the pain of bad news. However, it wasn't necessary I'm used to disappointing, so if you want to say you couldn't find a solution against my moving it's a good time

- Haiku you are right I invited you here in conjunction with your moving.- Lincoln said coming to her and taking out some paper from his jacket. Then he handed it to the girl adding:- However, I did not want to ease any pain for you. In fact, I did it to make this news even better.

- What news?- Goth asked taking the card.

- Well, Haiku I found a solution to your problem, just look.- The boy said pointed the object.

-What is it?- Haiku asked before looked at the object and opened eyes in shock:- For my dark heart what it means Lincoln?

-It means that official my parents are your second legal guardians.- The boy explained.

- Yes, I see but why?

- It's simple, I found a way to stay. You're just going to live with my family. That's why I convinced your parents to let my parents became your legal guardians.

- And everyone is okay with it? - Goth asked shocked.

- Your parents weren't hard to convince, they suffered forcing you to move and my family was convinced by good arguments- The boy said and noticed tears in her eyes. That's why he asked:- Hey Haiku is something wrong?

- No.- She denied before looked at him and added:- I just can't believe you did this for me.- Then Haiku hugged him and added:- Thank you so much.

- It's nothing.- Lincoln replied returning a hug.

- No, you just moved heaven and earth to help me I never find a way to repay you for it.

- So it's good you don't have to do it.- Boy joked breaking a hug.- Now come on Lori is waiting for us.

- Very good Lincoln, let's go I wanna meet my new family..- Goth agreed before following him and it's how both teenagers left the park to head to Vanzilla
