Red: What's up dudes and dudettes? This is our first Creepypasta shot. This is an AU and has many mentions of abuse.
Freak. Demon. Monster. Hellspawn. Mistake. Accident. These were just some of the things a five year old boy with white hair and strange eyes was called by his father, and these were the nice things.
He was currently hugging his poorly stitched stuffed rabbit he named Bun-Bun, which had a stitched right eye, like him.
"D-don't worry Bun-Bun, we'll be okay." He cried softly from his room which was actually a cabinet, unaware he was being watched by something inhuman.
"BOY!" Lincoln flinched as he put the handmade rabbit down and opened his small door, peaking out in fear.
"Get your ass down here!" Lincoln shook and left his room, being careful not to fall down the cold steps.
He went downstairs and saw his…father sitting a chair, a bottle of vodka in his hands.
"Y...y...yes s..s...sir?" He stuttered in fear, not wanting to be hit. "Go make dinner, now." He demanded. The small underweight child nodded and moved to the kitchen.
'The poor child has suffered so much since he lost his mother. Do not worry Kage-San…your pain will end soon.' A shadowy figure entered the house and hovered over Lincoln.
Lincoln tried to cook his best, burning his scarred arms. "Gah!" He flinched from the pain as he continued.
*Later*
Lincoln sat in his cabinet, waiting for his punishment. He had fallen and broken a glass, now he had a new scar on his face and a torn ear. 'Uh-oh!' He thought as he held his right eye which was covered by a black eyepatch.
"What was that! You useless brat!" He roared as he threw the door open. Lincoln backed away in fear, but was grabbed by his arm and threw across the room.
"AHHH!" His head slammed against the wall as he lost consciousness.
Lincoln looked around within the endless grey void he was in. He moved forward and soon saw a large glowing ethereal white orb, and right next to it was a much larger pitch black orb. "Accept the darkness within you." He heard a woman whisper into his ear. He reached out for the black orb and moved it to the white one. As soon as they touched the black orb engulfed the white one and half of it turning white.
Lincoln felt a very sharp pain inside his chest and screamed bloody murder before blacking out.
*Later*
Lincoln slowly opened his eye to see he was in the living room. The TV was broken, the couch was torn and thrown over, the table was in pieces and nearly everything was destroyed. The only things untouched were pictures of Lincoln and his mother and items that belonged to her, as well as a large wineglass filled with a dark red wine, and it appeared like it had been recently drunk from.
"H-hello?" He said in a frightened tone as he got up. The light was flickering in the kitchen and he heard something outside. He looked closer and saw the carpets stained with blood. He got very terrified and ran up into his room and hid in his cabinet, holding Bun-Bun tight.
"I'm scared too Bun-Bun." He heard the door slam open and multiple footsteps inside the house.
He flinched when he heard his rooms door kicked down, the footsteps in the room were slowly fading until he sneezed. The footsteps moved to his cabinet and the door was slowly opened. Lincoln uncovered his left eye and saw a woman with black hair, green eyes, and tan skin in a police uniform.
She covered her mouth when she saw the small thin child covered in blood. His right eye had a white eyepatch and his left eye was…unique. The white in it was instead pitch black and his pupil was ice blue, the ring surrounding it was ethereal white. "Please don't hurt me or Bun-Bun." He said quietly, very frightened. She gave a friendly smile."Don't worry young one, you'll be safe. Both of you." She said gently as she slowly reached out to him and picked him up.
Lincoln stopped shaking and felt warm in her arms.
*3 Hours Later*
"You poor child." She whispered in Spanish so she didn't wake him up as she ran her hand through his white bloodstained hair.
She knew she couldn't keep him because of money, but she knew her friends could and she would be able to check up on him when she had time. Hell, her friend already had six kids, and all of them were girls.
She soon pulled up in front of a house and got out of the car with Lincoln in her arms and rang the doorbell.
The door opened after a few minutes and a blonde woman with blue eyes in a robe came out. "Hola Rita."
"Hi Riley." Rita yawned. "Why are you up at this time? It's past 1." Riley explained her situation and showed her the sleeping child with a handmade bunny in his arms.
"Oh my!" Rita gasped. "I know. Just by looking at him I could see that the poor kid's been through so much, his bedroom was a cupboard in a wall and all he had for warmth was a thin towel. I may be a cop, but that still has my family barely getting by. I can't raise another child but I don't want this one to get hurt from the system." She explained. "Rita, please take care of him." Said woman nodded as Riley handed her the small boy.
*2 Days later*
Lincoln opened his eye and saw he was in a new place he wasn't familiar with.
"Where are we Bun-Bun? Are we in Heaven or Hell?" He muttered quietly as he looked up and saw two small emerald eyes above him, causing him to shake in fear. The eyes started to look sad.
"D-don't worry, I won't hurt you." It was a girl, very young. She crawled down out of the vent, falling on the bed next to him.
She had jet black hair, milky white skin almost as white as his own and was wearing a large black long sleeve shirt and white shorts with no shoes. "I'm Lucy." She said quietly with a smile, picking herself up. "Who are you?"
Lincoln slowly stopped shivering. "I-I'm Lincoln…and this is Bun-Bun."!He said nervously, holding the bunny in his arms.
She smiled and slowly scooted closer. "W-wanna be friends?"nShe said as she got closer.
"I…I never had another friend before. All I've had is Bun-Bun." 'And the nice gold lady in white.'
"I'll be your friend, and I'll protect you." She said as she hugged him, causing Lincoln to flinch at the unfamiliar touch.
"AHHH, NO DON'T HURT ME!" She pulled back quickly. "It's okay, it's okay. No one's gonna hurt you." She said quietly, calming him down.
"Lucy, where are you?"
"I'm in here." She said quietly, just barely loud enough for her sister to here.
A young girl with messy midnight purple hair opened the door, followed by a shorter girl with very bright pink hair and eyes like cotton candy mixed with bubblegum.
Lincoln hid behind Lucy. "Don't be scared. They're my sisters." She said gently as they came in, a smaller girl with blood red hair and eyes in a black tank top and torn shorts followed.
"Hello." Lincoln spoke softly, his grip on the poorly stitched rabbit loosening.
"Awwww. Hey there, I'm Luna." The purple haired girl said cheerfully. "I-I'm Lynn." The red one stuttered.
"I'm Luan." The pink one said, slamming a pie into her older sisters face.
Lincoln put on a small smile and chuckled quietly as a loud thud was heard outside the room. "Ouchies!"
"That was the dumb blonde named Leni."
"Isn't that a boys name?" Lincoln asked.
"What's a boys name?" Leni asked coming in with a roll of toilet paper in her hair, making Lincoln laugh more.
"How do you have that in your hair?"
"Have what?" Lynn pointed to her head. "Oh this? I went to the bathroom." She stuck her tongue out dumbly.
"Is she broken?" Lincoln asked as Lucy slowly hugged him, not flinching this time. "She was broken a long time ago."
'This is…nice.' They both thought.
*Later*
Lincoln slowly got off the bed with Bun-Bun and gave a yawn
"Lucy, you know mom told us not to go in there." A girl with short blonde hair and light blue eyes said as he opened his door slightly, just wide enough for him to see but no one to see him.
"I know Lori, but I thought he could use a friend." Lucy replied happily.
Lori smiled. "I know, and that was very sweet of you. But you should've asked mom first." Lincoln moved closer and his door squeaked, a black and white dog pushing into the room and started licking Lincoln's face.
"Hehehehehehehehe! Stop!" He laughed louder than he intended as Lori walked in. "Charles." She as she moved the dog. She hadn't seen Lincoln at all so when she first saw him she let out a squeal. "You are so adorable!" She cried out, hugging him and making Lincoln blush as she held him, seeing the white eyepatch on the right side of his face.
"W-what's with the eyepatch kid?" He looked down at the question. "I don't wanna talk about it." He said shyly as the front door closed. "Kids, I'm home!"
"There's mom." Lori said as she gently grasped his hand." She'll love you like one of us." She reassured him.
He gave a small smile as she carried him downstairs. "Hey momma, look who's up." Rita smiled as she saw the smiling boy.
"Hello Lincoln. The nice officer is having you stay with us. She wants to check on you everyday when she can."
He nodded as Lori handed him to her mother, who scooped him up in her arms. "Are my new mommy?" He said quietly. Rita smiled. "Yes, I'm your new mommy sweetie." Lincoln was shocked, but felt safe in her arms and hugged her.
"He is so cute! Is he really my new little brother?" Lori said while she rubbed his head, making him blush as he held Bun-Bun.
"Thank you." He cooed as he closed his eyes.
*Later*
Lincoln opened his eye again, his stomach no longer empty. He heard tapping on the window outside but saw nothing. "Who's there?" He got up to the window and saw his reflection. His entire face was midnight black except for his left eye and mouth which were an ethereal white and making a smile.
"Ahhhh!"
"Do not be afraid of what you are." He heard a woman whisper, but it sounded like it was everywhere.
"Who are you?" He said as he held the small bunny close to his chest. "We will meet again…Kage-San." She said as the voice faded completely.
"Kage?" He muttered as he heard someone entering the vents.
"Lucy?" He said as he stacked some stuff up to get inside the vents.
*With Luna*
Luna strummed at her guitar trying to think of a song, something to make Lincoln smile.
'How bout…no.' She shook her head. "Something wrong?" Leni asked as she walked into her and Luna's room.
"I'm trying to think of a song for Lincoln." She said as Luan sprayed her with water. "Stop that."
"Nope!" Luan smiled brightly as they heard thumping above them. "Looks like Lucy's here." Luan said as she went past them.
Lucy was in the vents crawling through when she heard something else wandering in them.
"Hello?" She heard Lincoln's voice. "Lincoln?" She said as she moved towards the voice.
"Lucy?" She heard him stop moving as she's moved closer, pulling a small flashlight from her pocket and shined it around while she moved until she found him at a dead end.
"Lincoln, what're you doing here?"
"I-I heard you crawl inside, and I was kinda lonely with just Bun-Bun." She smiled and crawled up to him, grasping his hand.
"You're sweet." She said as she hugged him gently, making him blush.
"May I know why you wear the eyepatch?" He flinched at the question. "P-promise not to tell anyone, but people who I say can?"
"Cross my heart." She said making an x shape over her chest. "And hope to die." Lincoln smiled.
"My…daddy hurt me bad, my eye was taken…and I got a new one." He spoke sadly as he reached for the eye cover. "But it was replaced with an animal one."
"Whoa." He moved his hand to his right eye.
"You hate it don't you?" He asked her as he removed the silk patch, revealing a blood red eye with a slit pupil; the eye of a snake.
"I think it looks cool." She said looking straight at him as the slit widened into a normal pupil.
"Y-you really like it?" He said shocked. She gave a nod as she brushed some of his white hair from his face, causing him to smile widely as she rested her head on his shoulder.
"Thanks Lucy." He said as someone entered the vents. "Lucy, you up here?"
"Yes Lynn." Lucy said as Lynn crawled up.
"Hi Lincoln."'She said as she saw his eye. "Woah. That's so cool!" She said.
"You like it?"
"Umm…yeah!" She exclaimed as she got closer.
"T-thanks." He blushed harder when she got closer.
"Come on, dinner's ready Linc." She said a small he put his eyepatch back on, much to Lucy's disappointment. But she's didn't push him about it, if he wanted it off he would. He only just did it because she asked and promised.
"Ok." They crawled down in his room and landed on the air mattress.
As Lucy held his hand she saw his reflection in the window and swore that his face was pitch black.
