Hello! Fifth chapter of The Last Loud!
Although I had this chapter finished since I uploaded the last chapter, I tried to refrain myself and wait to the next week to upload it, so that I could receive more questions and to actually try and create a schedule of uploads. but on the time I waited to upload, I didn't do nothing, I wrote some chapters and making some corrections and adjustments on the chapters
this week I received two questions, one on the comments and the other on DM, so let's answer them!
Dimitri Gomez: Is a relatively positive ending planned for the arc of the future or will it end in tragedy?
Well, I have actually planned two endings for the future arc, one ending in a positive note, and the other ending in tragedy, but I at the moment can't decide which one I'll go with, but I think that soon I'll be able to decide.
Anonymous: How much time passed between the past and future arcs?
It'll be Spoiler if I actually gave a exact number here, but soon, there will be the introduction of two new characters for the future arc, and one of them will be born after Day Zero, so, their age will actually be the answer, the introduction of said characters will be soon, so the wait won't be very big
I also want to apologize for the vague answers, but what can I say if the the questions I receive are some that if I answer directly will be spoilers? I'm doing my best to answer them without giving spoilers.

I stood staring Lincoln's door for minutes before doing my move. I knocked it four times, and waited. Seconds later, Lincoln appeared behind the door. He was already on his sleep wear. He looked surprised when he saw me.
"Oh, Luna... What can I do for you?" He asked.
"Can we talk... It's... About that night." Lincoln widened his eyes, then he peeked outside the door to the corridor. No one. He grabbed me by the hand and pulled me inside. I was shocked at his action as he closed the door.
I turned to him. "Lincoln... What happened that night..." I sat on his bed as he sat on his desk chair. "Was... Wrong." Lincoln looked at the ground.
"It was wonderful." He said, taking me by surprise. He... Just said that. And he continued. "You are beautiful Luna... That night... I'm so lucky for having you in my life. But... You're my sister..."
"Yeah... I'm your sister..." I said in return. "Lincoln... I love you." I said finally. Lincoln looked down at the floor again. "I know I shouldn't feel that way… But since Day Zero and the death of everyone… Death of Sam, I've been feeling lonely… and that night, when we talked, I discovered that you feel the same… Don't you?" Lincoln made a slight nod. "And you're so gentle, and a good guy all around, I… couldn't control myself… And since, my feeling just grew." I sighed and made a pause, trying to study his reaction, but nothing, he just stood like a statue, looking at the floor.
"I'm a horrible sister…" I said, my eyes started to fill with tears, my voice began to crack. "I developed feelings for my own brother, and when he was in a fragile state, I took advantage of him!" I finally broke and cried. "I'm a horrible sister! A horrible person! I hate myself for this! This is so, so wrong! I… I…" I stopped when Lincoln hugged me tightly.
"Luna. I love you. I love all of you. I know that it isn't exactly how you love me, but believe, I love you so much more than a brother should love his sister… And I feel this way with all of you. You all are my life. I don't know how I would feel if something happened to you."
I returned the hug. "This is so wrong…" I said.
"Don't think about it." He just said. I released the hug and he followed suit, but still held me. "You are the greatest sister and musician that exists." I laughed.
"I don't the if there's much musicians left." I said playing. He laughed.
We looked at each other for some minutes, in silence. We both knew that our next move was even grosser than the last time. And we did.
"Let's make this and then, and after, we can let all this behind."
I leaned over and kissed him. And he kissed me back. We passionately made out, he started to stroke my hair as I stroke his back. I didn't knew what took over us, but we just stopped thinking about the taboo. We forgot that we were brother and sister. We forgot how wrong that was. We made a mistake before, we were going to make a mistake again, but we didn't care.
We continued to make out as he started to lean forward and make me lay in the bed. That night, we again became one.
The Last Loud drove the bike with it's newly created generator. And even a hook that The Last Loud used to secure their backpack above the behind wheel. It was more comfortable than keeping it on their back while driving.
Their objective was find the ruins of buildings, as there's where they could find fresh non irradiated water. And also the ingredients for the ration foods that they used to survive. They used four different rations.
Hardtack, a white brick of a food, and the only way they muster it was by soaking in water. It was by far the easiest to make, just wheat flour and water, if you wanted a little of flavor, salt. It wasn't per say delicious, but it was good enough.
The second was pemmican, an odd survival food, made from dried meat, lard and dried fruit it was more tasty than Hardtack, but finding the ingredients are very hard.
Parched corn, roasted corn that was or dried of frozen, the corn won't pop into popcorn.
And finally the trench cake. It pack tons of calories, that's why it's so good for emergencies, named that because soldiers used to eat it in the trenches on World War I, it has dried fruits, self rising flour, water and egg. Definitely the most difficult to find the ingredients and make, but, oh boy, it's good. And easy to store.
The Last Loud was hoping to find the ingredients to make, at least hardtack, but some trench cake would be nice. Um… they drooled by simply thinking on trench cake.
After riding the bike around all day, in search for ruins, and by the time the sun was setting, he once again hit the jackpot, and found the ruins of a big city.
After that second night, my and Luna's relationship became similar from what was before, well, the before there wasn't any sexual tension between us, but that was something that I could live with.
Five years had passed since then. Not much happened, well, the younger girls grew, Lily in special was a treat! She became the spirit of the bunker, with just seven years, she made all of the harshness and dread that we lived on go away.
Almost every night, Luna played songs for us, the greenhouse was finally on full force, we had soy, to make tofu, a large variety of fruits and vegetables, Lori had loosen up a little, so we felt like we were living, instead of surviving.
What I think is odd though, is that my older sisters started becoming a lot more clingier with time. This started making some very weird things to happen, one day, Leni just entered my room without even knocking, asking me which dress was the best for her to wear… while she was naked. Other time, Lynn got into my room on the night and asked to sleep with me and well… she straight up masturbated by my side! She said that she wasn't able to sleep without doing it… I try to forget that night. And Lori? One day, she just came to us and announced that from that day on, if someone wanted to take a bath, they would have to bath in pairs! She said that it was to save on water, and that also applied to me. Needless to say that taking a shower with one of my older sisters is very uncomfortable. Luan was, I think, the one that made uncomfortable the least. Well, she does make some very dirty jokes, thankfully, just when none of our younger sisters aren't present. And, well, she tends to make some innuendos when we're alone. But besides that, she didn't made nothing else.
Well, I couldn't complain much, because, me and Luna continued to have night encounters. They were few and far between, but, on occasion, she would appear on my door late at night and I just couldn't refuse her.
This was our secret. Our dirty little secret. I have to thank God that we never got caught.
Aside from that, we where living in a simple routine, wake up, work on our designed posts, eat, and from there, we were free to do what we wanted. It was simple.
But we all had this feeling. The feeling of being locked. We were, in fact, locked, Lori forbid any of us to get even close to entrance chamber. It's been 5 years. 5 years without being able to feel the wind, to see the sun and feel it's warm rays on our skin. Feel the rain hitting our face.
Everything was beautiful, until that day that changed everything. For me, for my sisters, and, for Luna.
Broken windows, painting of the ways peeling off, walls falling, dusty and decrepit floors. They would find a lot of spoils.
They entered building after building, pillaging whatever they thought it could be useful. Some batteries, scrap metal, some computers that some of the components could be salvaged, a new usable empty bottle, a brass knuckle, that would be useful in a future fight, ammo for both their handgun and their shotgun, but the best things they found was a full, unopened bag of wheat flour, along with four cans of beans. And water! They found, inside a fridge a gallon of water that looked good. Yeah, they would have to boil that water, but that was super lucky! Although rivers and lakes still existed, They didn't knew if it was safe to drink from it.
Maybe if they had a Geiger counter, they could test to see if the rivers were safe. They remembered, years ago, they had a Geiger counter, on the bunker, to test the radiation of outside on the first time the Louds dared to go outside.
N/A: So we have our first time skip on this chapter! oh yeah! everyone is 5 years older now!
As I said in a precious answer, sexual tension between the loud siblings are getting more stronger, but I repeat that it won't have any smut and anything that will be suggested, I'll leave exclusively to the reader's imagination.
The four survival foods presented are the ones I found the more interesting to talk about, and also the most believable that The Last Loud would be able to make on the harshness of the wasteland.
If you have a question , or have something to say, go ahead and comment, or talk to me on DM, I'll do my best to respond everyone's questions, I also thank the people who followed and favorited the fic, it means a lot to me.
Thank you.
Untill next chapter, bye.
