Chapter 17: Eyes that do not see, hearts that feel. Part 2 (Darkness)

"I am what roars from your window, hungry in the dark of the night. I am what watches you from the dark corners of your dwelling. I extend my claws from your closet and under your bed, and I whisper your nightmares in your ear.

Fear me, for this is what resides in everyone.

"I am the fear" (unknown)

Forty meters underground, in an underground arena, the Battle of Drakoviam was underway.

The battle was between Lincoln and a representative of Globoday Industries, a burly man with sharp teeth and long hair known as "The Cannibal"

The man lay on the ground, unconscious, his teeth broken. Standing in front of him was Lincoln, covered in blood with bite marks all over his body.

"The fight is over! Winner: Lincoln Loud!"

Lincoln accompanied Professor Lincoln to the mobile infirmary to be bandaged and treated for whatever he had encountered.

"It took you a long time to defeat him, Lincoln."

"I know, sorry, boss."

"This isn't the first time. The same thing happened in your fight with Horace. Is there something distracting you?"

"My sister. I'm worried about her. Ever since the attack, she hasn't woken up from her coma."

Venom knew he had to do something to improve his fighter's performance.

But another worry consumed Lincoln's mind. His name was Hideki.

-The next day-

The second day was no different from the first. The tension between the Asian boy and the albino boy was palpable.

Andy and Clyde watched as the boy calmly walked to his seat. They could sense the conflicting aura emanating from both of them, like two monsters in a cage about to kill each other. A fact that went unnoticed by the students and the teacher.

The first class is over.

While the other students went to their activities, some of the female students were gossiping about the new student.

"He's very nice."

"And his complexion is flawless."

"It seems like he works out."

"I can't decide who looks better, him or Lincoln Loud."

"I prefer Loud. I really like his hair color. Though his friend Andy isn't bad either."

"Do you like a guy without arms?"

"Yes. His voice is very sensual."

"But no one is as handsome as our Clyde," Emma concluded, with Chloe and Penelope agreeing.

The girls' comments caused some of the boys to reconsider, especially those on the soccer team.

During lunchtime, most of the girls at school didn't take a single bite, except for a few who were fans of Hideki.

However, our favorite group of friends kept a close eye on the Asian boy.

"What do you think this crazy guy is doing here?" Clyde asked.

"I don't care; I'll take this guy down," Andy replied.

"I think someone beat you to it, Andy," Clyde said, pointing towards Lincoln, who was heading towards Hideki's table.

"Shit. We have to stop him before he causes chaos."

The boys went to Lincoln. However, he dodged them, and they fell to the ground. He finally arrived at Hideki's table.

The boy ate alone until he noticed the albino.

Hideki said with his trademark sarcastic calm, "Dear Lincoln. It's an honor to have you approach me."

"I thought I was done with you."

Hideki stopped eating and wiped his mouth with a napkin as he laughed. "Unfortunately for both of us, it wasn't."

"Unleashing your divine power that day was great. But it wasn't enough to end my existence."

"Then, let me fulfill your wish." Lincoln prepared to attack Hideki, but his wrist was grabbed by Clyde. "Clyde. What the hell do you think you're doing?"

"I was going to ask you the same thing. Lincoln. Don't do anything stupid."

"Clyde, let go of me."

"Dude. Leave him already. They are watching us."

The students saw the strange scene between the boys. Because Hideki's table was the furthest away, no one could hear what the boys were saying.

"Calm down, Lincoln. Clyde's right. It's not good to attract so much attention in such a public place."

Lunchtime is over. The rest of the day passed normally, with a few looks, both from girls interested in our opponent as well as from older, more mature students who were annoyed that someone else was stealing the girls' attention since they had enough of Lincoln.

The school day was already over.

The school was almost empty.

Hideki was one of those who took his time the most. This was the first time he had attended a school in a long time. The Asian boy was hanging out at the soccer team's practice field. On that day, there was no practice, so the place was free. Or partially.

Suddenly, two people took Hideki by the arms. They were running back with the tackler. In front of him was the team leader. Hideki didn't flinch. He just smiled softly.

"Can I help you with something, gentlemen?"

The leader approached the boy and punched him in the stomach. "Do you think you can come here and steal our girls?" He hit him again, but this time on the cheek, causing his mouth to bleed. "I'm going to destroy your pretty face, pretty boy."

Feeling the taste of his blood, Hideki changed his calm expression to anger. "How dare you?" The boys looked confused. As he made a quick movement, Hideki changed his position, holding the boys by their wrists. "My body can only be harmed by my God. You have defiled it."

Hideki began to press harder until he heard the sound of bones breaking. It caused terrible pain for the boys.

"And so... you will pay." The last thing heard was the boys screaming.

That night, someone moved in the shadows. It was White-Flame, which Lincoln was riding.

The animal sniffed the ground and air, looking for something. Or someone.

"Nothing yet?"

The wolf let out a howl of disappointment.

"well. It doesn't matter. Tomorrow evening, we will continue the search." The wolf and his owner returned to their home.

All the way, Lincoln was thoughtful, with only one thing on his mind.

"I know you're hiding somewhere, you bastard. Pray to God; I don't find you. Or the devil to catch you before I do."

Next morning.

Clyde was giving the news of the day.

"The mystery of who placed a burned paper bag filled with dog feces in front of the manager's door remains a mystery. The principal announced the following."

"Unfortunately, I still have seventy-five days to retire."

"In other news"

"Center: Adam Gray"

"Striker: Kevin Mons"

"And the runner: Mort Anderson."

"They were found yesterday afternoon, half-dead on the football field, by a passerby who was passing by. He quickly called an ambulance, and the boys were taken to the hospital, where, after medical intervention, they were able to miraculously save them. Unfortunately, their career in sports was over."

"Tests will be held next week to replace these three boys on the team."

"Finally. I want to use this space to say. Chloe, Emma, and Penelope. I love you, my princesses. Happy Anniversary," Clyde finished his report and sent special greetings to his girlfriends, forming a heart with his hands.

Waiting for him at the door were his friends Andy and Lincoln.

"Did you take the time out of the news to send a special shout-out to your girlfriends on their anniversary?"

"That's right, Lincoln. But I also bought them gifts. This will be the best memory ever."

"How cheesy."

"Andy, Andy, Andy. You have a lot to learn about relationships. If you keep your partner happy, or, in my case, partners, the reward is very 'generous.'" Clyde winked at Andy.

"You're horny often. Ha?"

"Hey Lincoln. Are you okay? I notice you're quiet. Is something wrong?"

"Is this about the team members who were found injured yesterday?"

"Yes. Honestly, it makes me feel bad too. And I think I'm not the only one who thinks he knows who the culprit was."

"Yes. I think so. That's Hideki's name written in capital letters. What are we going to do? Lincoln."

"Right now, we can only keep an eye on him. This man is very dangerous. We must consider that he is practically holding the entire school hostage. Until we know what he intends, it is best not to do anything rash."

"Ha. The donkey speaks with his ear."

"Andy's right. You may be impulsive, but what you did yesterday was just as reckless, Lincoln."

"Not to mention stupid."

"I admit it wasn't the wisest thing to do. I still feel like I must avenge the people he took from me. It affected my judgment, but... it's not like the last time we fought."

"What are you talking about?"

"Lately... I don't feel like myself. I feel... I feel like there's something trapped inside me. Something that wants to get out. Something full of anger and hate."

Clyde puts his hand on Lincoln's shoulder and says, "I understand you, bro. I know you feel bad about what happened to Leni. You feel frustrated and helpless. You feel like you should have been there for her. But soon he will get the justice he deserves."

"Thanks, bro"

In Lincoln's mind, "When I find that bastard, I'm going to make him pay for what he did to Leni."

"No matter what it takes, I will avenge Leni."

In the meantime, our hostile group of females finished watching Clyde's report on their cell phones.

"This attack has Lincoln Loud's name written in capital letters," Susie said as she put her phone away.

"I don't know girls. We can't blame Lincoln Loud for everything bad that happens" Molly had suspected for a while that maybe Lincoln wasn't the person they thought he was.

"Molly has a good point."

"Listen, Susie. I know you're second in command, and it's your job to agree with Cristina. But don't you think we've done Lincoln a great injustice already? Up until now, he's only gotten into fights with the city's scum out of self-defense. And twice of those times, we've sent them in on him."

"Cici's right, Susie. Maybe... we should try it, Lincoln. Maybe he's fixed."

"What do you think, Christina?" Susie turned to see Christina.

The red-haired girl looked frustrated and distant. She's been like this since that night when she hired Chandler. And it's gotten worse since she found out he was beaten by Lincoln.

"Christy? Are you okay?"

"There's no turning back," the redhead replied.

This confused the three girls.

They kept wondering what was happening to their friend.

"You couldn't miss Chandler. So it must have been something else."

Back with our heroes.

Classes are over.

Lincoln, Clyde, and Andy were heading into the parking lot, heading to their cars. However, there is someone waiting for them there. No more or less than Hideki. Who was leaning against Lincoln's car.

"What the hell are you doing here?"

Hideki smiles before attacking the boys. But they narrowly avoid it.

"Dude. What the hell is the problem with you?"Clyde still doesn't understand what the Japanese boy's intentions are. Nor why he's obsessed with Lincoln

For his part. Lincoln stood between his friends and Hideki. "There's no one here to interrupt us. So tell me. What's your intention here? You damned one."

Hideki laughed a little and replied. "Don't worry, dear Lincoln. My purpose here is entirely investigative."

"Investigative?" Clyde was very curious about Hideki's words.

"My boss found out that there are two Dracoviam fighters studying here. I met my beloved God. However, I still don't know what kind of fighting style the other one uses.

"Okay, I'll gladly let you know." Andy took a step forward, but Clyde stopped him.

"Calm down, Andy. Don't rush." Clyde turned to Lincoln, only to see that he was grabbing Hideki by the throat with one hand, choking him. "What the hell!? Lincoln, put him down!"

The albino did not listen to his friend. on the contrary. He increased the pressure on his fist. However, Hideki seemed to like it, as his face showed an expression of pleasure.

"Lincoln, enough! Free him now!"

This time, Lincoln complied and let go of Hediki, dropping him to the ground.

Hideki got up, rubbing his neck. "This is what I love, my God."

"It's time... Round 2" Hideki punched Lincoln, making him fall back. Followed by a flurry of kicks. But Lincoln grabbed him by the foot and spun him around. Then he threw him against the wall. To finally kick him. But instead of hitting Hideki's face, his foot hit the wall only a few inches from his head, causing the wall to crack.

Neither Clyde nor Andy understood why Lincoln would waste such an easy kick.

Lincoln lowered his leg and said in a cold tone.

"This is not a good place. Come with me." Lincoln grabbed Hideki by the collar of his shirt and pulled him up.

The boys walked until they reached a closed door leading to the roof of the school.

"Andy. Please open it."

"Gladly" Andy kicked the lock with his heel. He broke it and opened the door.

The boys climbed the stairs until they reached the roof of the school. Which was surrounded by a wire fence.

Clyde and Andy got into a fighting position. But Lincoln stopped them.

"Stop it, guys. This is between me and him. Now tell me. Why did they actually send you here?"

"I can't hide anything from you, can I? You always know when someone is lying. Yes. It's half true that I was sent to spy on you and your friend. But there's another reason.

-Flashback-

In a mixed martial arts arena in a building marked for demolition, an extremely brutal match was taking place.

The referee introduced the fighters.

"Tonight's fight will be between the representatives of the Red Rose School. Hideki Kurohana: The Shinigami

"vs. Representative of the Rivers of War School of Men. Ryan Coon: Jackal

Hideki's opponent was a man with long, shaggy hair. He was wearing a straitjacket with torn sleeves, revealing his hands, which had long, gray nails.

The man acts like an animal. Jumping and screaming inside the cage he was in. Oddly enough, he had a square, cage-like metal structure on his head.

"Ready competitors. Fight!"

The headmaster pressed a button and opened the cage where his fighter was. The structure that was protecting his head also fell. The jackal was freed. He desperately ran towards Hideki, ready to tear him apart with his sharp claws. But in a second, Hideki was behind him.

The boy had turned the man's head 180 degrees, breaking his neck.

The principal falls to his knees upon seeing his defeated fighter, while principal Maya approaches him.

"Well, Mr. Baker. I think this year's scholarship will go to my school. Again."

Maya got into a limo where Hideki was already. The boy greeted his boss politely. She congratulated him on the great job he did in that fight.

"I must admit that your appointment as my fighter was a success, Hideki. Since you represent us, we dominate the academic field. Not even the schools that once called themselves elite dare to stand in our way."

"It's been a pleasure, Dean Maya."

"For now. Here's your next job. Don't worry, you won't have to fight."

"I'm afraid it will be very boring."

"You will have to enter another school. This time as one of their students." Maya handed him a file with registration cards and the school address. "This is Royal Woods High School. One of my sources told me that there are fighters from Dracoviam. Find out if the school intends to engage in battles or if it's just a coincidence"

-flashback ends-

"That's why she sent me here. But the real reason I wanted to come is because of you," he said, pointing at Lincoln, "because I saw it; I saw your power released that night."

"What the hell are you talking about?" Lincoln asked.

"That rainy night, in that battle against the bonebreaker, I saw your divine power awaken for a moment. That merciless and implacable barbarism. I want to see it again."

Lincoln clenched his fists as blood began to ooze from his palms. "So this is what you want to see? Well, I'll be glad!" Lincoln ran towards Hideki. The Asian boy did the same, but Lincoln disappeared and reappeared behind him.

"You're getting faster" Before Hideki could react, Lincoln grabbed him by the back of the head and slammed him to the ground. Lincoln hits Hideki like a toy over and over again before taking him down. The expressions on the faces of those present were mixed. Hideki looked very happy. Clyde was terrified, and Andy was smiling mischievously. However, something happened that would change the nature of the situation.

The boys were so engrossed in the fighting that they didn't see the four additional spectators. Suddenly, Lincoln received a blow to the head, causing him to let go of Hideki.

Clyde and Andy finally see who attacked the albino at close range. It was Christina who was carrying a field hockey stick, and so was Susie. Molly and Cici watched from the door.

"This will teach you not to mess with new students."

Clyde and Andy looked shocked at Cristina. But this was nothing compared to Hideki.

Cristina extended her hand to the boy to help him. "Are you okay? Don't worry. He won't bother you again. We'll call the police to take him away."

Hideki took Christina's hand but did not get up. He squeezed the girl's hand very tightly.

"Ouch. Be careful; you're hurting me." Cristina tries to pull away. But Hideki pressed harder.

"Fucking bitch," Hideki said in a terrifying tone of voice.

This confused Cristina, who was already beginning to feel afraid of the boy in front of her.

"How dare you attack my God from behind?"

"What? I'm just helping you." Before finishing the sentence, Hideki pulled Christina out and took her by the neck without letting go of her hand.

"Dirty whore. How dare you attack my God? And get in my way. I will kill you!" Hideki began to tighten his grip even more, cutting off Christina's breath, while with his other hand he squeezed the girl's hand until he broke it.

Christina wanted to scream in pain, but Hideki's strong grip closed her throat. She slowly felt herself losing consciousness.

Her friends ran to help her.

Susie hit Hideki's back with her hockey stick, while Molly and Cici did the same with their sticks. But the blows didn't seem to affect Hideki, who broke the sticks with a kick and sent the girls back several meters.

Hideki looked at Christina again, who, before losing consciousness, could hear the boy saying a few words: "I'll break your neck, you bitch." Christina fainted from lack of air, but Hideki did not lose his grip. On the contrary, he pressed hard, preparing to break Christina's neck and cause her death. However, this deadly action was interrupted by a white flash that separated the boy from the red-haired woman in seconds.

Hideki was seen at one point hitting one of the bars that surround the ceiling, while Cristina lay unconscious in Lincoln's arms.

The girls watched as Lincoln slowly walked towards them, then gently placed Cristina on the ground.

Lincoln turned to Clyde and Andy. "Guys, protect them. Leave Hideki to me." Clyde and Andy ran to the girls and accompanied them, helping Christina along with Cici and Molly.

Hideki recovered from the blow that Lincoln dealt him. The boy's anger was evident in his face.

"Why are you defending that bitch who dared to attack you?"

"Because I will never let you hurt someone again."

The shock was palpable. Hearing that obviously didn't satisfy Hideki. "No... no... another scum is ruining my God. They won't take my God." Hideki ran as fast as he could toward Lincoln, but Lincoln grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up.

Lincoln was already tired of Hideki's religious delusions. This time, he wouldn't let him escape. "A moment ago, I promised you. I will keep my promise."

Hideki saw how Lincoln's arms were marked with those phosphorescent veins, shining like fire as his fist clenched.

Even though this was Hideki's dream, there would be nothing solemn about simply dying so easily. He wanted to fight. So he kicked Lincoln, who dropped him. After that, Hideki gave him another kick. But Lincoln grabbed him by his shirt and threw him, causing them to fall from the roof onto a car. The speed and force of the fall, combined with his muscle mass, caused the car's roof to collapse and its windows to blow out.

The fighting continued until they went behind the school to a construction area on the street, where there is an opening surrounded by security fences. But a kick from Lincoln towards Hideki broke the walls.

The albino lunged at him, and they both fell into the hole connected to the sewer.

The boys kept fighting. They punched and kicked each other until they fell into the river of black water. On a very bad day, the storm from the previous night caused the current to be stronger. But that didn't stop the teens from fighting back.

Lincoln grabbed Hideki by the neck and started punching him in the face. But Hideki took him by the arm and kicked Lincoln in the stomach.

Both were dropped into a large drainage pipe that emptied into a river.

Hideki submissively took Lincoln by the arm as he tried to free himself so he could surface to breathe, but Hideki's grip wouldn't allow it until the Asian boy heard a sound like a crack. The water wasn't so cloudy that he couldn't see Lincoln's arm in the impossible position. The albino boy had dislocated his shoulder to move more freely.

In a quick motion, he launched a strike across the water, as fast as a torpedo, until it hit Hideki's face. This created a shock wave that manifested itself as a small explosion on the surface of the water, splashing as if someone had thrown a rock.

Hideki's nose bled profusely. But Lincoln, not content with that, grabbed him by the head and spun him around, causing the same cracking sound. When Hideki stopped fighting, it was Lincoln's cue to swim to the surface with difficulty. Well, it was difficult to do so with just one arm, as Hideki was swept away by the current.

After climbing and reaching the beach, Lincoln fell to the ground, breathing heavily.

"Oh, oh, oh... finally... this fucker is over. He won't bother me again." A sudden cold hit Lincoln. Well, he was soaking wet in a river in the middle of winter.

Lincoln hugged himself, shivering from the cold. "Damn it. I'm freezing. And the worst thing is that I don't know where I am."

Suddenly, a voice followed by a scream called out to him, and the boy was alerted. It was Clyde who was in his car with the girls and Andy.

Lincoln followed the sound of the engine as he walked slowly due to the cold he felt, which was not helped by the pain from his dislocated shoulder.

Before arriving, he realigned his shoulder and then fell to the ground. But Andy grabbed him, using his back as support.

"Are you okay, Link?"

"Thanks. Thanks. Uh, I need... hot chocolate." Lincoln's voice broke due to the cold he felt.

"Of course. But first, take a shower. You smell bad."

"Sewage doesn't smell like flowers, Andy."

Andy helped Lincoln into Clyde's car.

The rest of the trip was very long. Well, Clyde had to turn on the heat in order for Lincoln to regain his body heat.

The heat of the environment, combined with the overwhelming smell of sewage that lingered on Lincoln, did nothing to make the trip any more pleasant.

Once they got to school, they had Lincoln get into his own car. "Then he headed towards the hospital."

Meanwhile, in an area far from the river, Hideki was lying on the beach. Next to him was Principal Maya, who hit him with the tip of her heel, causing the Asian boy to wake up.

"Have fun, Hideki?"

Hideki sat up and placed his hands on his head, rearranging his neck in a motion.

"I'll take that as a yes. You started playing again."

"In the end, it was a waste of time. Let's go."

Maya and Hideki walked into a limo and left the place.

-Back with Lincoln and his friends-

When they got there, paramedics took Cristina and Lincoln away.

Despite more pain, his shoulder swelling, and nearly freezing, Lincoln was out of danger. As for Christina, she regained consciousness after a while. Fortunately, she only suffered a broken hand.

The doctors put a splint on her hand and called her parents to come get her. The same was done for Lincoln's parents.

The boys told the story of how they were attacked while leaving school.

Christina's broken hand was caused by falling to the ground, while they explained that Lincoln fell into the sewer through a hole in the floor while struggling with one of the attackers, which was partly true.

It was not surprising that robbery was involved in the situation.

Despite the fact that Royal Woods had become very prosperous three years ago, ironically, it attracted a large number of gangs, thieves, and shady businesses, like bees to honey.

The only thing that prevented this city from being the closest thing to a utopia was the weak police system.

Lincoln reclined on one of the hospital beds, having indulged in a lengthy, invigorating shower. Clad in attire generously loaned by the hospital—consisting of nurses' uniforms—he awaited the arrival of his concerned family, still bereft of his own clothes.

Simultaneously, the Louds entered alongside Christina's parents.

Upon spotting her son in the bed, Rita rushed to him, showering him with kisses and embraces.

"My poor baby. Are you okay?"

"Yes, Mom. I'm fine. Just a bit cold."

Meanwhile, Christina's parents, standing by the adjacent bed, inquired about the assailant.

"Who did this to you, my dear?" Christina's mother asked.

"Doesn't matter. I'll sue that scoundrel, down to the last penny," declared the girl's father, seething with anger.

Mr. Loud empathized, fully understanding the agony of seeing one's child hospitalized.

Attempting to rise, Lincoln faltered. Swiftly, his father steadied him.

"Son, you shouldn't get up. You're still too weak."

Struggling with coordination, Lincoln turned to his mother. "Please... can you give me my cane?"

"Of course, honey. I have it right here." Rita retrieved Lincoln's cane from her bag and unfolded it.

Observing the sight, Christina was taken aback. Unable to contain her astonishment, she stammered, "He… He… He… is blind!!?"

Turning toward the girl, Rita calmly confirmed, "Yes. Three years ago."

"Three years ago?" Christina connected the dots regarding Lincoln's past. She knew what Lincoln had allegedly done three years earlier.

This time, it was Mr. Loud who explained, "There was a gas leak in our house, and it exploded upon contact with a short wire. My son was in the middle of that explosion, losing his sight. But I'm grateful to him; he shielded his sister Lisa with his sled, sacrificing himself." The painful memory brought deep sadness.

"I heard that, thanks to a blind boy, the city started receiving funding from other companies," added Christina's mother, expressing surprise at the connection. "I didn't know this boy was your son, Mr. Loud."

"Yes. His accident triggered a chain reaction, attracting more businesses to the city. Ironically, he couldn't partake in the benefits and was sent to a specialized school abroad. All thanks to the doctor's sister; the one who treated Lincoln that day secured him a scholarship."

As the pieces fell into place for the red-haired girl, the rumors aligned with Mr. Loud's account, at least chronologically.

Since their conditions weren't severe, they were allowed to return home, though Lincoln had to remain in bed for three days to avoid catching a cold.

At Christina's house

Examining her splint, Christina rubbed it as a knock echoed. Opening the door, revealed her three friends.

"Hi Christy. We came to see how you were doing."

"I'm fine. I won't be able to use my right hand for three weeks. But I'm fine."

"I can't believe Lincoln Loud saved you. What happened back there?" Susie asked.

The question was echoed by the newcomer.

"I think I have an answer to that question." Clyde spoke up, standing by the door.

"How did you get into my house?"

"Your mother let me in. I told her I wanted to interview you about school news tomorrow. May I come in?"

"Yes. Come in."

Entering and closing the door, Clyde faced the girls with a serious expression.

"Okay... first question." Clyde's calm demeanor turned to anger. "What the hell do you think you were doing when you attacked my friend like this?" His stern tone conveyed the gravity of the situation.

"We were just defending the new guy from this delinquent," Susie replied.

Clyde's countenance shifted once more, a blend of frustration and the desire to laugh—a reaction familiar in situations teetering between anger and amusement. Finally regaining composure, he responded, "I see. That's because you still believe in these rumors."

"Rumors? What rumors?" Molly inquired.

"I'd better let me from a few days ago explain it to you," Clyde remarked, retrieving his cell phone and tuning into the school news channel on YouTube, specifically the recent report he had submitted.

The girls, now fixated on the screen, witnessed Chandler's admission that everything about Lincoln had been fabricated. The doctor's and mayor's certificates for Lincoln added weight to the revelation.

Their jaws dropped collectively. A profound sense of shame enveloped them as they recalled their actions and words against the albino, especially haunting for Christina.

"I can't believe what that bastard Chandler did," Cici exclaimed.

"I actually sensed something was off," Molly admitted.

"Oh my God. I feel so ashamed now. I hit him on the head. They are going to sue me for assaulting a disabled person."

In the reflective silence that followed, Christina bore the brunt of the emotional turmoil, her tears flowing freely.

"Are you okay, Christina?" Susie inquired, but the red-haired girl remained silent, lost in her thoughts. "Christy? Hey? I asked if you were okay," Susie repeated. This time, Christina rose from her bed, approached the room door, and opened it. "Please. Get out of here," she instructed Clyde, gesturing outside.

Clyde complied, leaving the room with his phone and offering one final remark before departing. "I hope you didn't do anything stupid against my friend. Like what you did to Zack, Liam, and Rusty. And if so, I hope your conscience has pricked you," he declared as he exited the room and then the house.

Christina returned to her bed, eyes downcast, taking a few moments before wiping away tears. The emotional release didn't surprise her friends, given the bombshell revelation. They all grappled with the magnitude of their actions, fueled by those damning rumors, and the subsequent harm inflicted on Lincoln. Shame and guilt hung heavy in the air.

"I think we owe Lincoln an apology. Don't you think, girls?" Cici suggested.

"After what we did to him, an apology wouldn't be enough," Molly acknowledged.

"This is a lot to process. All this time, we thought what we were doing was justified. We thought we were trying to ward off a violent criminal. But it turns out we were attacking an innocent boy."

"In the end, we were the bad guys."

"And it's all because of Chandler's idiocy." Susie, visibly upset, recalled orchestrating two gangs to attack an innocent boy, and worse, one who was blind.

"It's not just his fault, Susie. Neither we nor anyone at school took care to check if the rumors were true. We all share the same guilt"

"Chandler. You. Me. Molly. Cristina, and basically everyone at school."

"At least they didn't send the gangsters to burn down his house," Molly remarked, reflecting on the gravity of their actions.

Cici nudged Molly's arm before turning her attention to Christina, who remained fixed on the ground.

"I'm sorry, Cristina. But this wasn't entirely your fault."

"I mean, yes, you sent the black cobra. But they just had to scare him away. It was their idea to burn down their house."

Christina started crying this time. Her friends approached her, embracing her.

"Yes, Christy. Don't cry."

"Yes, we made a huge mistake. Perhaps the worst of our lives. But we can try to change," Susie consoled Christina while wiping away the mascara from her teary eyes.

"One day we will have to admit to Lincoln that it was us who sent those gangs"

"I don't even want to imagine how he will react when he finds out."

Christina tightly hugged her friends, crying hard on Susie's shoulder.

Her friend patted her back to soothe her. "Yes, yes, Christy. Everything will be okay."

"No, Susie. Nothing will be right. It won't be again."

"Of course. The road will be long. But we can redeem ourselves."

"You don't understand, Susie. I... I did something I could never escape. Chandler knew it was all fake. And he still won't tell me anything."

"What did you expect? It's Chandler. This idiot would sell his grandmother to the devil for a dollar."

"It's not just the fact that he didn't tell me about Lincoln that the rumors were a lie when I hired him to run him out of town; it's what I had to do to get him to take the job."

The girls comprehended everything, recalling Chandler's proclamation to the girls as "Christina's new boyfriend."

"Oh my God, Christina... don't tell me you..."

Christina clung to her friends, her tears flowing. "I feel dirty."

That day, the girls learned two valuable lessons.

Don't believe everything you hear.

Everything has consequences.

At Lincoln's grandparents home.

The boy peacefully slumbered after taking spicy chicken soup.

Once again, Lincoln found himself in one of his dreams, wandering through the forest.

The snow transformed into a storm, with hurricane winds bending the trees. Snowflakes resembled icy glass shards capable of cutting through flesh. Gray clouds turned black, and lightning and thunder shook the earth.

Lincoln stood with the black wolf, while the gray wolf watched sternly in the distance.

The black wolf approached the boy to ask, "What do you think? Isn't power great?"

"Unbelievable. When I fought Hideki, I've never felt so good and so strong before."

"And, of course, you want more."

"Yes. I want more. Give me more power."

"Hohahahahahaha. Of course, I will give you more. Follow me."

The wolf led him to a pool of red liquid that had grown into a lake. In the center of this was a black obsidian throne, surrounded by black obsidian wolf statues. The obsidian trail also started on the lake shore.

"There. Power worthy of a king." The wolf kneeled before Lincoln.

The boy walked across the obsidian bridge, followed by the wolf. When he reached the throne, he sat on it.

On the rest of the arms, there was a cup made of the same material. The boy filled it with the crimson liquid flowing from the mouth of one of the statues. Then he raised his glass in a toast and proceeded to drink it.

Lincoln woke up from this dream feeling better.

Lincoln came downstairs, where his trusted pet greeted him with a lick. Lincoln reciprocated his pet's affection by stroking the wolf's chin. They both sat on the sofa, and suddenly his phone started ringing again.

Lincoln had to take it. He already knew who it was.

"Hello, Professor."

"Good morning, Lincoln. I heard you had a fight this afternoon."

"As always, you're well informed, Professor."

"Anyway. The reason I called you this time is not to fight."

"Okay. You already have my interest. What do you want to talk about?"

"I did you a favor. I'm sure you'll love it."

"I'm all ears."

"Found. The man who raped your sister."

Lincoln jumped off the couch. "What? Really? Where is he?"

"Hiding out in a hostel in the adult section of town."

"Does Royal Woods have areas like this?"

"Yes. It surprises me too. I will send the coordinates to your car."

"Wait a minute. I want to know first why are you doing this? I doubt it is an act of provocation."

"Simply because this kind of rubbish spoils the name of Royal Woods. If the place is unsafe, it means fewer people live or move here. This means fewer potential consumers."

"So you just want to get the cockroaches out of your kitchen."

"I couldn't have said it better. Consider this a business. I handed over the person who pissed you off. This is how I get rid of other vermin. Everyone wins."

Lincoln wasn't stupid; he knew that wasn't the only reason Venomus was doing him this favor. But he couldn't pass up the chance to punish this bastard. "Deal." Lincoln ends the call and falls silent as he pats White-Flame. "We already know where this bastard is."

Lincoln went back to his room to get some rest. Since that night, he has been "going hunting" again.

He was introduced back to the dream world. But this time, he didn't dream of the forest. This time, he dreamed that he was in a completely different room. It was clearly a dream. Since he could see perfectly.

The boy got out of bed and looked around.

The place looks like a castle. On the table, there was an obsidian cup filled with a crimson liquid. An inexplicable thirst conquered the albino. Who drank the entire content in one gulp.

Lincoln walked over to a mirror covered by a red curtain. He didn't know why. But he felt the need to discover what it could show.

Lincoln grabbed the curtain and pulled it back, revealing the glass. Lincoln's eyes widened. Because the reflection showed a being that could only be described as a werewolf. An object of black color with some white threads.

Lincoln fell to the ground, and the creature followed him. Then he crawled on all fours to the mirror. He touched his face, and the monster imitated him again. Then he realized that this monster was his reflection.

Lincoln woke up. At the same time, he heard someone else. This meant there was someone else in the room with him.

"Lincoln. Are you okay?"

Lincoln recognized that voice. "Lucy? You?"

"Yes. The grandparents went out and asked for one of us to come here to take care of you."

"And they chose you?"

"Indeed. You've got that right."

"You had a fight with Lynn, didn't you?"

"Hahahaha. Yes."

"And what were you doing in my room? Are you watching me while I sleep?"

Lucy blushed and scratched the back of her neck as she looked away. "Maybe."

Lincoln moves a little. He left a space in his bed. "Aren't you coming in with me?"

Lucy's ears warmed upon hearing her brother say that. Without a second thought, she kicked off her shoes and climbed under the covers.

Lincoln hugs Lucy and supports her against his chest. Lucy looks up at Lincoln's face and brings her lips to his. They both covered their heads with the sheets and started kissing and caressing.

Lucy put her hands under Lincoln's shirt, feeling the hardening of his chest and abs.

Lincoln only enjoyed the taste of gothic lips. Interestingly, he tasted the grapes from them. Maybe put some flavors of lipstick on.

Lucy was still caressing Lincoln's stomach when she felt something harder underneath him. Looking down, she noticed a straight bulge, like a tower, rising from the fabric of Lincoln's pajama pants.

"Lincoln!" Lucy separated from him when she saw the involuntary reaction of her brother's member.

"Oh, I am. I'm sorry, Lucy. It felt so good, I couldn't."

Lucy covered Lincoln's mouth and smiled. "Don't worry, it doesn't bother me. In fact, I'm flattered." Lucy grabs the belt of the pants with one finger and begins to lower it. "You gave me a lot of happiness last time. It's time to return the favor" Lucy licks her lips at the thought of what she was doing. Maybe this was the step she needed for her and her brother to finally become one in the act of love.

Lincoln's hand resting on her head indicated that he was willing to let her do this. But the sound of the front door opening and Myrtle's voice signaling her arrival forced them to separate.

Myrtle knocked on the room's door and entered immediately.

"And this is the letter H in Braille." Lincoln was sitting on his bed next to Lucy with an open book. "Oh. Hello, Grandma. I was teaching Lucy how to read Braille."

"Oh. How lovely. Thanks for taking care of your brother while we're away, darling."

"It's no problem, Grandma. Lincoln and I had a great time."

Myrtle left the room, and the siblings sighed in relief.

"It was close. I felt the balls going up my throat."

"I guess there won't be another chance for that... you know."

Lincoln hugs Lucy from behind and kisses her on the head. "Who said that?"

"You. You said I wasn't ready yet."

"To hell with what I said, Lucy. Next time we're alone, we'll do it."

"What?! Really?!" A smile spreads across Lucy's face.

"Of course I do, my little vampire. So you better get ready. Because this wolf is hungry for you."

"Lincoln." Lucy pounced on her brother and kissed him on the lips.

They both hugged each other. When suddenly Lucy felt Lincoln's hands on her ass, she said, "HEY, control your hands."

"Ho ho ho. sorry. I couldn't help it."

"Good. I understand it's fine. After all, you'll soon be doing more than just touching it."

Lincoln hugs Lucy, and they both go to bed "Shall we keep kissing?"

"I would like nothing more than that, baby. But with the grandparents here, I'm not sure."

"Such a pity. Can we at least stick together?"

"Yes, of course" Lucy says as she hugs her brother. Sarcastically. Lucy gave Lincoln a small beam of light. Before the darkness that was coming

-It was already night-

In an area of Royal Woods full of themed motels. Night clubs. Adult movie theaters and brothels. An orange car cruises the streets bathed in neon lights.

The car comes to a halt in front of a club. Lincoln confidently strides towards the entrance, where a guard, towering at about two meters, halts him with a grip on his shoulder.

"Stop there, kid. Minors aren't allowed in. Also, you should be on the list."

With a nonchalant smile, Lincoln replies, "Good. Maybe I'm not on the list. But my friend Grover Cleveland is." He takes a thousand dollars from his wallet.

Glancing around, the guard takes the cash, allowing Lincoln to pass.

Seated at the bar, the boy attracts attention. The waiter, surprised to see a child, approaches.

"Aren't you too young to drink?"

"I'm not looking for drinks. I'm looking for information."

"What kind?"

"Do you know someone named Scoods?"

"I don't seem to remember someone like that."

Lincoln places a hundred-dollar bill on the table.

"I remember. Yes, he comes here every night."

"Is he here tonight?"

"I don't know."

Another bill appears on the table.

"Yes. He's here. On the back table."

"Can you hand this to him?" Lincoln hands the waiter an envelope with another hundred-dollar bill.

The waiter takes the envelope and the money.

At Scood's table,

The boy sits with three scantily clad women. Bills change hands periodically.

"Your time is up, buddy. If you want us to stay another hour, it will cost you another two hundred dollars."

"They're the ugliest bitches in the world. And I pay them for the drinks. They still charge me," Scoods grumbles. Seeing the waiter, he adds, "I didn't order anything."

"That's not why I'm here. That young man over there is sending this to you."

Scoods takes the envelope and opens it. There's a typewritten message. "You'll pay for what you did to Leni. If you want to stop me, try it."

Scoods recognizes Lincoln.

Fortunately, he didn't spend enough time with Leni to know that Lincoln was blind, or so he thought. Lincoln gets up and walks towards the exit.

In the parking lot,

Lincoln opens his car door when he feels cold metal on the back of his head. Scoods points a gun at him.

"Get in the car."

Lincoln remains calm. "Try driving it; don't waste your time. It only works with my voice command."

"Don't tell me. Well, you're driving. And don't try anything. Or I'll blow your head off."

Lincoln complies, sitting next to Scoods. "Where do you want me to take you? Buddy," Lincoln asks like a taxi driver.

"To the industrial zone. Hurry."

"Alexander. Go to the industrial area."

The computer complies, and Lincoln engages in a conversation.

"It's a nice car, Linky. It's definitely worth a lot of money."

"Two hundred and fifty-nine thousand dollars. To be precise"

"I won the lottery with this family. At first, I thought Leni had money because of the house they had. That's why I seduced her. But when I found out they got it all thanks to you, I decided to leave her. But not without getting a little profit first. Oh, it sure was tight. And it smelled so good. How poetic it all was! Two Louds met their deaths in a car. By the same guy."

"Leni's still alive," Lincoln responds with a fist bump.

"So? Good. At least she managed to lose her innocence. I was so amazed. With her body, and she was still a virgin. I had to change that."

Lincoln clenches his fist.

"Oh. Are you angry?" Scoods hits Lincoln in the mouth with the gun. "Don't forget who has the gun here."

Finally, they reach the industrial area.

A place surrounded by factories, some in neglected condition and others recently purchased for remodeling.

The boys get out of the car and walk behind one of the factories.

Scoods pushes Lincoln against the wall and points the gun at his head.

"Okay. I guess that's the end of it, Linky."

"Your biggest mistake was coming here alone."

"Who said I came alone?"

"What?" Scood is confused. Suddenly, he hears a roar behind him. He turns around, and his heart jumps into his throat. "What the hell is that thing?" In front of the boy was White-Flame.

Scoods begins firing, but the wolf evades the shots until the gun is completely discharged.

White-Flame rushes towards him, trapping his arm between its jaws. "Ahhhhh. Fuck. This hurts. Lincoln. Lincoln, take that thing off me."

Lincoln snaps his fingers, and White-Flame releases Scoods.

Scoods falls to the ground, clutching his injured arm. But Lincoln picks him up and squeezes him. "Ahhhhh. Damn it, let me go."

But Lincoln doesn't let go; he presses harder, his fingers penetrating the holes left by White-Flame's fangs.

"Aaaaaahhhaaa, PLEASE, LET ME GO"

"Does it hurt?" Lincoln asks.

"Yes. It hurts so much!"

"That's good. I'm happy!" Lincoln lifts Scoods into the air and then slams him to the ground, breaking the arm he was holding.

"You bastard. You broke my arm. I'll kill you, you bastard."

Lincoln throws Scoods to the ground and stomps on the broken point of his arm.

Scoods looks up and sees something that fills him with horror. On Lincoln's body, the same bright markings are seen as embers. Only this time, they reach his face.

Lincoln raises his bangs, revealing his eyes. They are different from what he had imagined.

Lincoln's eyes have lost their cloudy appearance. He seems to have been cured of blindness. But they are not normal. His pupils are black, and his irises are yellow.

Scood's horror is palpable. The boy tries to escape, but Lincoln steps on his right leg and shatters it.

"You won't get away easily, Scott."

The boy is paralyzed when he hears that name. "How did you know my real name?"

"Please, only someone so stupid would swallow that identical cousin's story."

"I asked my boss to find out everything about you from the samples you left in my parents' car."

"You can't have Leni in Scotland. You were just a summer love. A teenage fantasy. But you refuse to believe it. You're obsessed with her, and you become a disaster in your town"

"Finally, after a long time, you found her, and you couldn't get her at all. You drugged her. But when you finished your act and couldn't feel her breathing, you thought you had gone too far with it, and you thought you killed her by mistake."

"But no. She's alive. In a coma, but alive."

Scott grins, enduring the pain in his arm and leg. "Well, it looks like you already have me."

"Good? What are you waiting for? Hand me over to the police."

"Police? Oh hohohohohohohohohahahahahahahaha. No. I've prepared something sweeter! For you." Lincoln smiles, showing off his huge fangs. But it doesn't end there. Behind Lincoln, a wolf-like figure begins to materialize. This one seems to be made of thick black smoke, with a few balls that look like burning embers where its eyes should be.

If Scott wasn't scared enough by then, now he will be afraid. "What the hell are you?"

Lincoln grabs him by the hair and lifts him up, then takes him by the neck. "I am the executioner; I am the executor."

"I am the Fang of Darkness. The Claws of the Night."

"I am power, lust, and darkness."

"I am. White Wolf!" Lincoln punches Scott in the stomach and pushes him into the wall behind him. The impact causes him to bounce back toward Lincoln, who meets him with another blow that sends him back to the wall.

A series of punches at full speed saves Scott from falling. Lincoln's arms and fists seem to multiply and distort the speed of his movement.

The Scottish boy bounces like a ball against the wall, being thrown over and over again by Lincoln's powerful fists.

The blows the albino delivers to Scott cause the wall to shake, and the paint on the other side peels off.

Scott's bones ache from the force of the blows.

His ribs and bones are literally beaten to the core.

Bone fragments are torn apart, and his internal organs are also receiving massive damage. They are crushed and beaten.

Scott's eyes, ears, nose, and mouth begin to bleed.

With a final strike, Scott breaks through the wall that is already soaked in blood. The boy flies into the factory until he crashes into an iron staircase.

Scott's body is left in an unnatural position. His torso is bent at a 180-degree angle. A paralyzed ragdoll with stuffing removed and twisted.

A torrential river of blood, bones, and limbs drips from his mouth onto the ground, accompanied by an expression of suffering on his face.

Lincoln rubs his knuckles, which are red from the hits.

Once satiated, his eyes return to their normal cloudy appearance. "Justice has been served."

Lincoln gets into his car and drives home, with White-Flame in the back seat. Unaware, he is being spied on by a small drone.

The next day is Saturday.

Lincoln wakes up feeling better than ever.

He goes downstairs, strolling into the kitchen to make breakfast. Just a bowl of cereal and some juice. Then he turns on the TV. Even though he can't see, he loves hearing the news. The report that day is interesting.

This is Catherine Mulligan, reporting from Royal Woods Industrial Park, where the body of a young man barely 20 was found in a factory being remodeled.

The body was found by a guard who had started his morning shift.

An anonymous source informed us that the young man identified as Scott, coming from Scotland, entered our country under the assumed name of Scoods. He is wanted for sexually assaulting a young woman, whose name we will not give to protect her identity.

It is not known what method his killer used to leave him in the state in which they found him.

Lincoln eats his breakfast with an evil smile on his face.

His phone rings again.

"Good day, Professor."

"Hey Lincoln. I have a job for you."

"Hmm? And what's in dispute?"

"It will be eight tonight. Against the Energy Labs. The battle will take place on one of the abandoned sets of the Fear TV channel. I will send the coordinates to your car."

"Got it, Professor." Lincoln hangs up, very confident of his certain victory. Ever since he saw that black wolf in his dreams, he feels invincible.

Suddenly, he hears another phone ring. But this time, it's the home phone. Lincoln answers. On the other side, he hears Lucy's voice.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Lincoln."

"Oh. Hello Lucy. How's my little vampire doing?"

Lucy blushes at her brother's words, "I want to ask you something. Are you free this afternoon?"

"Of course. Why? Do you want to ask me out on a date?"

"Something like that. I've entered a contest where the prize is to attend the taping of the season finale of Vampires of Blues. It's at 4pm, but Mom and Dad won't be able to take me because they're going to visit Leni in the hospital, and I don't trust Lynn to not screw it up."

"This show was taped for Fear TV, wasn't it?"

"Yes."

"Great. Tonight I have a business meeting at that place. I can take you."

"You don't have to lie. I know about your fights."

"Oh yeah. I forgot. Well, I'll pick you up in my car at three o'clock. So we'll be there on time."

"Thank you, Lincoln."

"You're welcome, Lucy. Bye. I love you."

Lucy blushed again from embarrassment and then ended the call.

It was three o'clock in the afternoon. Lincoln and Lucy were on their way to the recording studio.

"Oh, Lucy, calm down. I understand you're excited, but it's not that bad."

"I can't help it, Lincoln. It's always been a dream of mine to meet Edwin and Griselda." Lucy was sitting in her seat. By her standards, that was impatient.

-In the Studio-

Lincoln and Lucy presented VIP passes, allowing them to enter the registration group.

But they clearly came at a bad time. One of the newly hired actors, dressed in vintage clothes and wearing a white wig, was arguing with the director.

"I agreed to play this ridiculous role in this 5th-grade Fear TV show in exchange for all the demands in the contract my manager handed me. Instead, they gave me this crap!"

"Your trailer is stocked with everything you ordered, and it's exactly how you wanted it! You're stocked with your favorite organic and imported foods. Your payment is twice the budget the episode cost us! What are you complaining about this time, Justin?"

"What am I complaining about? What am I complaining about!? From this! This is what I'm complaining about!?" Referring to the text of his character, specifically in the final part, "Like my character dies in the end? I spent some time on this cliffhanger as a character who barely spoke and never showed his face. Only when I showed up that hideous wolf in CGI. And in my only real appearance, they kill me?"

"You are the wolf and Edwin's romantic rival. You die in Griselda's arms. Don't tell me it's not a beautiful ending."

"It's humiliating! As if my character wasn't shameful in itself. I mean, a wolf with hypoallergenic fur? Really? What foolishness!"

"It's for the sake of continuity. Griselda's character is allergic to wolf fur. So we had to make this one allergy-free."

"And what is this makeup? Even if they are fake, I will not let them fill my beautiful body with terrible scars and vulgar tattoos. Rewrite everything. I want more fame. And I want to stay with the girl."

"The show is called Vampires of Sorrow. Not 'Wolf Tantrum'"

"Then I quit!" Justin takes off his wig and throws it in the director's face before leaving the set.

"Good. Get out. We don't need you... Who should I lie to? Come back. I'll give you your own series." The director started crying on the floor as Lucy approached him.

"Excuse me, sir."

Lucy's sudden appearance startled the director. "Damn girl. You almost gave me a heart attack. And my blood pressure is already high."

"What are you doing here? This is a private set."

"I'm Lucy Loud. I won a contest to watch a recording of the show."

"Oh yes. They informed me of that. As you have seen, there may not be a recording program. Our actor has just resigned. Maybe we must postpone the end of this season. At least until we find a new actor."

"Will my prize remain valid when you find it?"

"No, I'm sorry, girl. You will have to re-enter."

"What? But maybe I will not win again."

"Well, unless you know a handsome man who can memorize four dialogues in an hour, there is no hope. Neither for you nor for today's episode."

At that moment, what the director could only describe as a miracle. The theater gods sent him to his salvation.

"Lucy?"

"I am here, Lincoln."

Lincoln runs to where he heard his sister's voice: "Here you are; don't walk away like that without me; you worried me"

The director is approaching Lincoln and watching him carefully. "Thick, silky, and natural hair. Ideal skin. Which acting agency sent you?"

That confused Lincoln. "I am not an actor, sir. I just came to accompany my sister."

The manager sees the Lincoln stick and says, "You are blind?"

"Yes. Why?"

"You're excellent."

"Why?"

"You will be William, the wolf."

"What?"

"Your scenario is very short. I can print it in Braille in less than fifteen minutes. Do you have a good memory?"

"Oh, yes. I have."

"Good. Go to the dressing room. We have an episode to photograph!"

A group of people transferred Lincoln to the trailer where Justin was staying. In a cloud of cosmetic powder, Lincoln was wearing the clothes that the former actor wore. And the final touch. Wolf ears that complement its appearance.

Then they gave him the text to memorize.

"What trouble did you get me into, Lucy?"

"I think you look very handsome."

"You think so?"

Lucy saw her brother's face with this makeup, which made him look paler, and felt that her heart was beating dauble. "Come here. My beloved wolf"

Lincoln sits on the sofa and puts Lucy on his lap. Then he started kissing her. "I think we have a little time. I promised you that when we are alone, we will do that. So what do you say, Lucy?"

But she stopped him "Wait, Lincoln. No!"

"What is happening? I thought you wanted it."

"Yes, I want it, but not like that; I don't want something spontaneous; I want to enjoy every second; I want it to be long without worrying about time."

"I understand." Lincoln embraces Lucy and kisses her by the neck. "I love you so much."

Lucy caresses Lincoln's cheek and kisses him on the lips. "You'd better start memorizing your lines; you have only one hour before the set starts"

"Give me ten minutes, and I will have memorized it in reverse and forward."

After an hour

The actors known as Edwards, who played the role of Edwin, and Kate, who played the role of Griselda, were waiting for the scene.

Edward stood up, raised his arms, and said in disgust, "I cannot believe that the singer Justin left the offer at the last minute."

For her part. Kate did not show great attention to the topic. "It's better this way. I was tired of working with him. It was a headache."

"I am tired of him too. But without him, we will not be able to record the end of the season."

"I heard that the director rented a young man at the last minute to play his role."

"I hate working with beginners."

The director arrives in a good mood that his representatives have never seen before. "Very good. We are all ready."

Lucy, who was next to the director, had a dizzy smile on her face, looking at Edward.

"And that girl?" Edward asked.

"She won a contest to watch the registration."

Lucy approached Edward with the same idiotic expression: "Can you give me your autograph?" She said, stuttering as she was leaving a paper and pencil.

"Huh... of course" Edward gives the autograph to Lucy, who holds it and embraces it in her chest. After getting the autograph, she fainted.

"Hi. Bring the girl a chair. Where is the wolf?"

"Here you are, sir." One of the attendees brought a chair, followed by Lincoln.

Seeing the boy, Kate's eyes widened.

"This make-up and this outfit made him incredibly handsome."

"Edward, Kate. This is Lincoln. It is the alternative to Justin"

"It will be a pleasure to work with you. It is the first time I have represented, and I'm somewhat tense."

"Ha ha ha ha, yeah, me too." Kate laughed nervously as she played with her hair, twisting a strand around her finger.

Edward was confused. "What are you talking about, Kate? We have been doing this for five seasons."

"Oh yes, hahaha. What were we talking about?"

Edward and the director look sideways at each other.

"Good. Let's start with this... lights, camera, action."

After two hours

Edwin was fighting in the cemetery against the aforementioned Jack.

"Do not take Gracelda from my side, Jack."

"I saved her from death. I saved her from the unit that caused her."

Both creatures are fired against each other until they collide.

"Edwin had a chest wound at the level of his heart, but he was not dead. Unfortunately, the same thing could be said about Jack, who had a silver dagger in his chest."

The wolf fell on a grave, while Griselda approached him.

"Jack! I'm sorry. This is all my fault."

Jack caresses the cheek of Griselda. "No, don't blame yourself for this. It was my decision that led me here. The only thing that you're guilty of is stealing my heart.

"I don't want you to die, Jack," Griselda begins crying.

Jack wipes her tears with his thumb. "No. I don't want to see tears on your face. If my time ends in this world, I want to leave with two things."

Gracelda kisses Jack on the lips for the last time.

"Action! Beautiful. Beautiful. Best. Better than I expected. It was great; it was perfect; it was excellent. They were... huh... Kate... the scene is over."

Kate continued to kiss Lincoln and hug his neck. While the albino shakes his arms and legs, trying to escape.

"Kate! Kate!"

The girl separated away from Lincoln's lips. Her lipstick was all smeared, as most of it was covering Lincoln's mouth, who was breathing hard. "I'm sorry. I think I got into character. Hehehehe."

Lucy looked at the girl with some anger.

Kate helped Lincoln up, then whispered something in his ear: "I'll wait for you in my dressing room, handsome."

This made Lincoln blush.

Lucy felt like something was happening there. So she went to her brother and pulled an ace out of her sleeve.

"Lincoln. Let's go. Remember you have a business meeting?"

Lincoln understood what his sister was doing and went with her. "That's right. Professor Venomous must be waiting for me. I'm sorry, Miss Kate. But I won't be able to fulfill your request."

Lucy pulls her brother away, while Kate has a disappointed face. "All good people. They have a partner, or they're busy."

After a few minutes.

Lincoln and Lucy were in the car, heading to the abandoned set where the battle would take place. Lincoln wiped the lipstick from his mouth that Kate had left for him.

He was still wearing his uniform. Since the director gave it to him as a thanks.

"Are you okay, Lucy? You seem calmer than usual."

"I didn't like that she kept kissing you so much."

Lincoln puts his arm around Lucy "Don't be jealous, baby. Come here" Lincoln puts Lucy on his lap and starts kissing her neck "I love you."

"Me too, my love."

The GPS announced that they had reached their destination. It was an old set where Professor Venomous was waiting for Lincoln at the entrance. But the professor's attention turned to the unexpected guest.

"Lincoln. Why is your sister here?"

"I brought her to watch the filming of her favorite show. Since I was passing through, I brought her."

"You know it's a serious offense to involve people in this kind of 'event'."

"She already knows what it is."

"What!? Since when?"

"In the cemetery. Her club meets there. They saw us."

"Fine. I guess that's fine, as long as she doesn't say anything."

"Let's go. The battle is about to begin."

Before entering. Lincoln stops Lucy "Lucy. You better stay in the car."

"What? But I want to see you fight."

"I don't want you to see this. Lately, the fights have been... more intense than usual. I don't want you to expose yourself to all this violence."

Lucy puffs out her cheeks, frowning, "Fine. I'm indebted to you for bringing me to the taping of my show. But next time, I want to see you fight."

Lincoln kisses Lucy's forehead and leaves her in the car with the heat on and the TV on. "Wish me luck"

Inside the recording facility, organization members gathered around a large cube of reinforced acrylic, its walls one meter thick.

Within, a man stretched his legs, then applied cream to his body. This wasn't considered cheating, as only the use of weapons was prohibited. The opponent, tall and thin, with muscles not very prominent, prepared for Dracoviam combat—always expect the unexpected.

Lincoln entered the cube. The referee began speaking.

"Tonight's fight will be between Venomous Industries and Forces Laboratory."

"On the Venom Industries side, representing Lincoln Loud, the White Wolf,"

"Facing him, representing Powers Lab—Nolan Newton, the Unstoppable."

"Are the challengers ready?... Fight!"

Lincoln initiated the attack, delivering a powerful punch to Nolan's stomach. However, something strange happened. Not only was Nolan sent to the other side, but Lincoln was too.

They collided with the walls simultaneously. Yet Nolan did something unusual. Upon hitting the wall, he bounced off like a ball, heading back toward Lincoln. While flying, he changed his stance, extending his foot and landing a kick on Lincoln's stomach.

The albino spat out blood from the powerful kick, forcing him to his knees while clutching his stomach. Nolan didn't pause. He jumped in the floor, then to the wall, and finally to the ceiling, landing a kick on Lincoln's head.

Lincoln's forehead hit the ground, causing it to start bleeding.

Nolan rebounded, this time on the floor and then on the ceiling, to hit Lincoln's back with both fists. He left him lying on the ground, but this time, Lincoln was quicker.

He grabbed Nolan by the ankle and slammed him to the ground. However, Nolan did something strange again. He bounced off the ground, delivering a blow to Lincoln's face, making him release him.

Nolan bounced off the walls, ceiling, and floor, landing blow after blow. Finally, Lincoln managed to hit him on the cheek, knocking him to the ground. But Nolan took advantage to kick Lincoln in the cheek.

As the two separated, Nolan spread his arms and legs, flipping again to land a double kick to Lincoln's chin.

The albino fell to the ground, while Nolan, before touching the ground, changed his position. Instead of landing, he skidded to stop.

Venom looked seriously at Nolan and said, "This is the top-secret formula you're working on."

"That's right, Venom." Behind the professor was a man with a bandaged face wearing a lab coat. "This is Chemist F. A formula that uses the inertia of potential energy to create an unstoppable force. Nolan's large body size and response time made him the ideal candidate to try the formula."

"It won't be yours for long. Remember what would happen if Lincoln won?"

The man covered in bandages watched as the albino boy was beaten by his fighter.

On the other hand, Lincoln didn't have it easy. While every hit he gave Nolan did cause some damage, it turned out to do more harm than good. It only gave Nolan more strength, momentum, and speed.

Using the strength of his legs, Nolan launched himself off a wall, traveling at full speed and landing a double punch on Lincoln's stomach. It sounded like a locomotive striking a deer. Lincoln's body impacted the acrylic wall, causing a small crack. Nolan continued to bounce off the wall, slamming his fists into Lincoln, preventing him from any chance of breaking away from the wall, which was already beginning to crack even more.

Lincoln had fainted. So technically, he had already lost. But Nolan's constant attack kept him standing against the wall. So no one noticed.

In the world of dreams.

Lincoln saw how, in the middle of the red lake, stood an island with strange buildings. Typical stores are occupied by the indigenous people of the area, with black wolves inside them. In the center was a throne. Behind him was a giant wolf statue, from which red liquid flowed like a waterfall.

On the throne was a large bowl, covering the boy's entire forearm.

The black wolves stood behind him, surrounding him and looking at him with their terrifying red eyes.

Suddenly, they all started talking at the same time, creating a sinister harmony in a phrase they chanted like a mantra.

"Blood feeds blood. Blood feeds blood. Blood feeds blood. Blood feeds blood. Blood feeds blood. Blood feeds blood."

Lincoln took the bowl and filled it to the top with the red liquid. Then he saw the wolves starting to chant another phrase.

"Part of you, part of us. Part of you, part of us. Part of you, part of us. Part of you, part of us"

Lincoln began drinking the liquid from the bowl.

In the real world.

Nolan was about to finish the boy off with one final blow. But before his fists could touch his skin, Lincoln grabbed his wrist.

This surprised Nolan but did not worry him. He propelled himself by stomping on the ground, but Lincoln pulled him down, stopping his flight.

Lincoln's fingers sank into Nolan's arms, and he spread them from side to side and then began pulling them.

"Ahhha. Damn boy, let go" Nolan couldn't use his rebounding ability to get out of it. The risk of damaging his arms increased, and the man kicked and struggled trying to get away, but Lincoln's strong grip held him firmly.

Lincoln pulled harder and harder until he reached the edge of Nolan's muscles. He kicked Lincoln in the face and mussed his hair, revealing a terrifying sight.

Lincoln's eyes reverted to that yellow color, just like the night he killed Scott.

"What the hell are you?"

Lincoln's muscles expanded, increasing his mass, and vital signs reappeared on his body.

A cracking sound echoed through the place, followed by a cry of pain. Nolan's arms were dislocated.

"Ahhhhhh. Son of a bitch. Let me go."

Nolan felt the worst pain in the world, but Lincoln wasn't finished.

Venomous noticed something very strange about his fighter. The boy's body seemed to be developing—muscles, size, skin, and even the length of his hair. Although Lincoln's height was already slightly above average for his age, he now looked like a twenty-year-old.

The final scene left onlookers stunned. Nolan writhed in pain on the ground, crimson liquid pooling around him.

"Ahhhhhhh. Damn it. Son of a bitch. Son of a bitch. Bastard."

"My arm. My arm." Nolan saw the boy grabbing one of his arms in each hand.

Lincoln squeezed his left hand until Nolan's arm snapped in two. Then he threw the other arm to the ground, which stepped on his elbow, destroying the bone.

Nolan tried to get up to run, but Lincoln grabbed him by the ankle. Immediately after, the boy slammed him against the wall, exactly at the point where it had cracked. It shattered, throwing him out of the cube, crashing into a steel pillar. This time, he didn't bounce; the blood washed all the chemicals from his body.

The referee stiffened, checking his neck. He still had some pulse, but he was unconscious and near death. The fight was over. The winner is "Lincoln Loud."

The man looked terrified at his fighter.

Venomous watched Lincoln fall to the ground from exhaustion.

Lincoln woke up inside one of the medical vehicles on a stretcher, his torso and forearms bandaged.

"What happened?"

"You finally woke up."

"Professor? What happened?"

"You fainted. You exhausted your body. You were asleep for an hour."

"What about the fight? Who won?"

"It's you. You were so close to losing. You don't remember anything?"

"No. I just remember that guy attacking me over and over again. Later... everything went black."

"I see. Anyway. The good thing is that you won. Go now. Your sister should be waiting for you."

"Right. Lucy. Where are my clothes?"

"There it is."

Venomous handed him his clothes.

After getting dressed, Lincoln left the place and headed to his car.

Upon entering, Lucy was still watching TV, or only partially. Since she was sitting in the back seat, she sounded asleep.

Lincoln sat next to her and started the car.

The movement woke Lucy up.

"Huh? Lincoln?" Lucy rubbed her eyes to wake up.

"You're finally awake, darling."

"How did you do in the fight?"

"Well, I won."

"I wouldn't expect anything else from my boyfriend." Lucy hugs Lincoln and kisses him on the cheek.

Lincoln blushed. It was still strange to hear Lucy call him her boyfriend. But he had to admit that he loved that tenderness.

While they were returning home, a storm broke out, stronger than ever. Rain fell, obscuring visibility and making the roads dangerously slippery. To make matters worse, lightning struck one of the power plant's transformers, causing a power outage.

"Alert. A major electrical failure has been detected in the vicinity." The siblings paid attention to Alexander's voice.

"What's wrong, Alexander?" Lincoln asked.

"Overload was detected at the local power plant. Visibility: 0."

"Besides, the weather conditions make the road unsafe for traffic."

"Danger level: extreme."

"What do you suggest, Alexander?"

"Suggestions: Park the car in a safe place to avoid collisions."

"Find a safe parking place."

"A search is being conducted. Three parking spaces have been uncovered."

"No. 1: Mountain View."

"No. 2: Motel car park."

"No. 3: Tree Park and Reserve."

"What's the closest option?"

"Recalculation... The motel is eight hundred meters away."

"Get us there, Alexander."

The car complied with the order, and within three minutes, it arrived at the Twilight motel. The lighting is still maintained, thanks to the generator"

"The two brothers got out of the car and ran to the reception desk, about ten meters away. When they entered, they were both completely soaked from the heavy rain.

Lucy rang the bell on the table, and a young woman came out the door behind the desk.

"Good evening. Welcome to Twilight Motel."

"My sister and I would like a room."

The girl noticed the siblings were completely soaked. "Of course. It seems the storm caught you at a bad time. We have a laundry service and can give you complimentary clothes."

"Laundry service and complimentary clothes? Great. Is this a motel or a luxury motel?" Lincoln asked.

"The economy in Royal Woods is so good, even the motels have top-notch service."

"In that case, give us a room."

The receptionist gives him a key with the room number. "Enjoy your stay."

Lucy led Lincoln to the designated room, which was number 18. After entering, not without having to take off their shoes so as not to wet the carpet, they both proceeded to remove their wet clothes.

While Lincoln was doing this in the room, Lucy did it in the bathroom. The last one was very elegant. Well, it had a full-length mirror.

Lucy saw herself in it, examining her body.

The goth placed her hands on her hips and began to stand, turning around to see her ass. Her hips were really sticking out. No doubt, her mother's genes were very strong.

Then she raises her hands to her chest. Her breasts started developing a year ago. Right now, she had a very sexy figure, which was hidden by the sweater she always wore.

Until that moment, she had not taken the time to see herself in detail. She had to admit that she really liked what she saw.

Once they had stripped down to their clothes and put on their robes, the receptionist arrived a few minutes later with a cart to transport the wet clothes.

There was only one bed. So Lucy sleeps there, and Lincoln sleeps on the couch. Or so the receptionist thought.

The siblings were lying on the bed, still wearing their clothes.

The heating created a pleasant atmosphere after being drenched in the freezing rain.

Lucy settled down, laid her head on Lincoln's chest, and hugged his torso. Meanwhile, Lincoln was caressing Lucy's head, moving down her back to her ass.

Lucy looked up at Lincoln's face.

The goth placed her hands on the albino's cheeks and brought her face closer to his, finally connecting their lips in a kiss.

Lucy separated from the kiss and opened Lincoln's robe, exposing his bandaged chest. A small drop of saliva ran down the corner of her lips. This was the first time she had seen her brother's body in such detail.

Lucy started kissing Lincoln's chest. She goes up to his neck and ends on his lips.

Lincoln stuck his tongue into Lucy's mouth, moving it around and exploring every inch of her. They both had hormones that had gone through the roof. But the one who took the initiative was Lucy.

The goth separated from Lincoln, breathing heavily.

"Lincoln. Get it out," Lucy ordered Lincoln, who understood what she meant. He got out of bed and took off his underwear.

Lucy crawled across the bed towards her brother. Her gaze fell on the bulge that was emerging from his pants. When he unties the knot, the pants open.

Blood ran down Lucy's nose at the sight of Lincoln's naked body. Lucy's hand took the albino's dick, causing an involuntary moan from the albino: "Oh! Lucy! Wait!"

"What's going on? Did I hurt you?"

"No, not that. I just... I want us to go slow. I want to enjoy every second."

Lucy released Lincoln and kneeled on the bed. "I also want to savor every moment, Lincoln."

"Good. Then lie down."

Lucy obeyed and lay on her back, while Lincoln settled on top of her.

The albino opened the gothic dress slightly, revealing her breasts, which were very prominent for her age. Lincoln began to caress and kiss Lucy's neck with his right hand.

A tear ran down Lucy's cheek because of the joy and happiness she was experiencing at that moment.

Lincoln stops kissing Lucy's neck and starts biting lightly with his fangs, making Lucy wince in joy. Lincoln detaches himself from Lucy's neck and begins kissing his sister's lips. The goth took Lincoln by the back of his neck and brought him closer, deepening the kiss, until they broke apart due to a lack of air.

"I love you, Lincoln."

"Me too, Lucy."

"I've been in love with you for years."

"When did you start feeling this for me?"

"When I was eight years old, That day, you took the accusation away from me just to protect me from harassment."

"Our sisters can be cruel sometimes. And although you can also have your selfish moments, you always turn the other cheek."

"You always sacrificed everything. Your time, your dignity, and your emotions. Always for our sake." Lucy brushes Lincoln's bangs, exposing his eyes.

"I'll do anything to protect my family, Lucy."

"When I saw you again, those feelings came back stronger than ever."

"I love you, Lincoln. I love everything about you."

"Your beautiful eyes. Your beautiful white hair. Your will to keep going in the face of everything. Especially... this one." Lucy lifts Lincoln's upper lip to show his fangs. "These beautiful fangs."

"You made me fall in love, Lincoln. Even more than I already was. And I want to prove it to you... with my body."

Lincoln kisses Lucy. Then he unbuttoned her robe. Lucy was wearing only her black underwear with white stripes. The albino takes the garment with both hands and begins to slowly remove it. Lucy lifts her legs until she ends up completely naked.

Lincoln spreads Lucy's legs, placing himself between them. "Are you ready?"

"Wait." Lucy discovered a small basket that was at the head of the bed and took out a condom from it. "Safety first." Lucy remembered her sex education lessons and proceeded to put a condom on him.

"How did you know that was there?"

"I didn't know. I was lucky they had this here." Lucy quickly covered her mouth. "I'm sorry, Lincoln. I forgot how much you hate that word."

Lincoln smiles and laughs a little. "Don't worry." He puts the gothic albino down again, positioning himself between her legs. "Ready?"

Lucy nods and bites her lip shyly. "Yes," she says, giving Lincoln absolute permission.

The albino noisily swallows, demonstrating his generosity. He slowly moves his hips forward until he feels the tip of his member make contact with something soft and smooth.

Lincoln's glans barely made contact with Lucy's pussy. They both had really red cheeks, their breaths were heavy, and their hearts were beating so hard that they could hear each other if there was silence.

"Tell me if it hurts, and I'll stop."

"Yes. Do it, Lincoln. Take me."

Lincoln thrusts with his hips, inserting his glans into Lucy's vagina. When she feels the organ entering her, she screams in pain.

"I'm sorry. Was I being too harsh?"

"No... continue..." Lucy felt a lot of pain. But she did not let that spoil her moment with her lover. "I waited a long time for this."

"Okay." Lincoln pushes slowly and with some difficulty through the tightness. "Hmm... Tight."

Lincoln continues until he feels another obstacle. membranous surface. His previous encounters with Lynn and Ronnie Anne had given him enough experience to know it was the hymen.

With one final thrust, Lincoln reaches what appears to be her cervix.

"Lucy. Are you okay?" Lincoln asked upon hearing a light sob.

Lucy was crying while bleeding.

"I'm sorry, Lucy. I didn't mean to hurt you. I think we'd better stop..."

Before he finished speaking, Lucy hugged Lincoln and wrapped her legs around his waist. "I'm not crying about that. I'm crying because I'm happy."

"I'm glad we finally did this."

"I'm so glad that now I can show you how much I love you" Lucy starts to rock her hips slowly. Putting in and taking out Lincoln's member from her intimate.

Lincoln felt very happy with Lucy's soft movements; in addition to her tightness, "Oh, Lucy." Lincoln hugged Lucy and felt the scent of her hair. Just like in the guest room that day, Lincoln's sense of smell created a mental image of Lucy, surrounded by a dark purple color. He could see his sister in his mind so clearly, despite the hues of purple.

Lincoln's hand went down to Lucy's ass, which he began to caress while he massaged it with the other, causing Lucy to let out a moan, which was silenced by a kiss from the albino.

Inside their mouths, a battle of tongues took place for control of the kiss. It resulted in Lucy winning by leaving Lincoln lying on the bed.

Lucy started to move her hips faster. Once she got used to her brother's size, all the pain was gone, and only the pleasure remained.

Every time Lucy lowered her hips, Lincoln felt closer to climax. So he hugged Lucy and changed his position, leaving him on top.

Lincoln goes down on Lucy, thruating his dick in and out. It was very rough, but Lucy was starting to like it. For the first time in a long time, Lincoln was in control.

The albino stood on the bed and pushed Lucy against the wall.

"Lincoln. Make me yours."

Lincoln brutally attacks Lucy. The boy was about to climax: "Lucy. Lucy. I'm going to cum."

Lucy joined her mouth in Lincoln's mouth with a deep kiss.

Finally, they came together.

Lucy felt the condoms fill her, while her whole body was tense from the tremor of sexual intercourse.

The siblings separated their lips.

Both of them fell to the bed and separated.

Lucy was breathing with difficulty. Looking down, she noticed that the bottom of the condom had come off during their intimate moment.

Lucy removed it; it looked like a balloon filled with water. It was so full that, had it not been for the brink of latex, she wouldn't have been able to get it out.

When she suddenly felt something pressing on her back, it was Lincoln's dick. Lucy knew this was what the boy wanted to do, so she quickly covered her back with her hands. "No! Not this way!"

Upon hearing her, Lincoln moved away from her. "Sorry for startling you. I get it. Forgive me, love."

Lucy accepted Lincoln's apology, and then they went to the bathroom. After a romantic shower, they both emerged wearing their clothes. Feeling relaxed after everything they had done, they went to sleep.

The next morning, Lucy woke up slowly, and the first thing she saw was her lover, Lincoln. She smiled gently, kissed him on the lips, and Lincoln woke up.

"Good morning, darling," Lucy greeted her brother.

"Hi. Did you sleep well?"

Lucy embraced Lincoln's chest. "The best I've had."

The intimate moment was interrupted by a knock on the door. Lucy went to the bathroom, and Lincoln put on his robe.

On the other side of the door, the girl from the reception office had brought the siblings' dry clothes, already folded. Lincoln received the clothes and gave her a hundred-dollar bill for the service.

After getting dressed and paying the lodging costs, Lucy and Lincoln headed to the car, heading home. Throughout the journey, Lucy passionately stayed close to her brother's side.

When they arrived home, Lucy got out of the car, bidding farewell to her lover. Lincoln, in his mind, still pondered Lucy. It was strange how he built a harem little by little. Although it currently consists mainly of his sisters.

"Maybe I'm a pervert," Lincoln mused to himself. Suddenly, he felt a severe headache, causing him to wince in his seat.

The pain passed after a few seconds. Lincoln, who rarely felt pain, even in his most brutal battles, was bewildered. Something had changed.

For a moment, he saw more than the darkness or the purple mental images his senses created. Foggy pictures appeared in front of him before he returned to the dark.

Lincoln recovered, exhaling comfortably and pressing his nose bridge. "Damn. What in the world was that?"

Meanwhile, at Loud's house.

Lucy went up to her room, closed the door, and threw herself on her bed. The goth took a pillow and hugged it tightly as she buried her face with a smile. "It was the most wonderful night of my life." Lucy got up, took the new Edwin figurine that was on the shelf, and started dancing with him in circles. "I never imagined that my first time could be so wonderful. And the best thing is that with my beloved white wolf

"So this is what it means to be happy. I think I like it."

Lucy hugged the vampire statue, but her celebration was interrupted by a sound.

"I'm glad your first sexual experience was satisfactory."

Lucy screamed and dropped Edwin's statue. She turned around and saw her sister Lisa standing in a corner of the room.

"Lisa?! How long have you been standing there? And when did you come in?"

"I've been waiting all morning for your return. I guess you didn't see me because you were so elated over what I imagine was a night of lust."

"What happened to your voice?"

"My new employer, Professor Venomus, helped me with that. His attendant has very diverse resources, even in the most ordinary cases. But I'm not here to talk about my recently corrected lexicon. Did you do what I asked you to do?"

"Yes. Done" Lucy pulls a syringe out and hands it to Lisa.

"Well done, older sister. You are doing our brother a great favor."

"I injected the boy I love with something strange created in a laboratory while he was asleep. Do you have any idea how illegal that is?"

"It is not the same as having intercourse as a minor. And I should add, it was with your brother."

"Injecting him while he slept wasn't the only illegal thing that happened in that room."

Lucy blushed and looked away. "Whatever. Is this going to cure Lincoln's eyes?"

"I hope so"

Hearing that, Lucy approached Lisa's face, looking at her seriously. "What do you mean by that?"

"Well... so far, we've only tested it on chimpanzees, pigs, and rats. Because they have similarities to our DNA. I don't know how it would interact with the human genome."

Lucy grabs Lisa by the collar of her sweater, lifts her up, and slams her against the wall. "Damn bitch, you tricked me. You exposed my brother again to your scientific madness. I should gouge out your eyes so you can feel what Lincoln must go through in three years."

"Believe me. I feel really bad for what I did three years ago. And you never stop reminding me."

"Since then, my goal has been to restore Lincoln's sight."

Lucy drops Lisa to the ground, then calms down. "Fine. Suppose I believe you. What will happen to Lincoln now that this has started in his veins?"

"It may be effective and cure him. Or it may not do anything for him. If he doesn't get his sight back tomorrow, we'll have to do more tests and optimize the dosage."

"I trust you, sister. Leave me alone now, please. Get out of my room."

Lisa complies and leaves the room, leaving Lucy alone.

The goth sat on her bed and hugged her pillow. "I hope you're doing well, Lincoln."

In the grandparents' house,

Lincoln kept thinking about what happened in the car.

The boy went up to his room and laid on the bed when the phone in the living room started ringing.

"Shhhh. When you're away, the damn phone starts ringing." Lincoln gets up and answers.

"Hello?"

He hears an adult male's voice on the other side: "Hello. Am I speaking to any of Miss Leni Loud's relatives?"

"Yes, yes. I'm her brother," Lincoln put on alert.

"Okay, Mr. Loud. This is Dr. Cornwallis. I'm reporting from Olympo Hospital, where we have your sister under observation."

"Leni? Did something happen to Leni? Is she okay? What happened?"

The doctor had to interrupt Lincoln: "Calm down. She's fine. In fact, better than ever."

"She just woke up."

Lincoln opened his eyes wide, and a smile spread across his face.

"Hey? Mr. Loud. Are you there?" The doctor is waiting for an answer. After a minute's silence, he heard a scream of joy that forced the doctor to lift his ear from the phone.

"Ohhhhh. Hell Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh. Leni's fine." Lincoln recovered from his excitement and spoke to the doctor again. "I'm sorry. I'm very happy. I'll give the news to my family. Thank you, Doctor." Lincoln hangs up the phone, then jumps on the couch, lands on it, and begins to jump. "I have to go to tell them the good news."

Lincoln ran to his parents' house. He was so excited that his senses were on high alert, allowing him to elude passers-by while performing parkour stunts.

He finally arrived at Loud's house.

Lincoln slammed the door and opened it.

"Mom, dad, girls. I have great news!!!" Lincoln's enthusiastic announcement was interrupted by silence, interrupted only by sobbing, "Huh, what's going on here?"

In the room, all the Loud sisters were gathered, including Luna and Luan. Lori was sitting on the couch, crying.

Lincoln approaches his mother. She was sitting next to Lori, comforting her.

"Mom, what happened? Is that Lori crying?" Lincoln sits next to Lori and says, "Lori, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"

Lori sees Lincoln. She had mascara running down her cheeks from crying. When she saw her brother, she hugged him and continued crying on his shoulder, "Lincoln, it's Bobby."

Upon hearing the Latin boy's name, Lincoln separated from Lori to be face-to-face. "What? What happened to Bobby? Did he do something wrong?"

Lori wiped the dark marks of wet makeup from her eyes and answered in a broken voice, "He... died."

Which shocked Lincoln. "What?! When? How?"

"The police found the remains of his car at the bottom of a cliff. On his way home from college, he passed a sharp curve in the road. At this point, there was a brake failure. He lost control, and..." She was silent when she finished telling what happened. The girl hugged her mother and continued to cry.

Lincoln leaned forward, placing his hand on his forehead. This can't really happen. The boy he considered his big brother was gone forever. "When are they going to bury him?"

"The day after tomorrow," Lori replied.

"We all go, right? I want to be there for Ronnie-Anne."

"Yes. Thank you, little brother. Ronnie-Anne will definitely be happy. By the way, what did you want to talk to us about?"

"Oh. Well, you see. This morning, I got a call from the hospital. Leni woke up."

The family looked at Lincoln and surrounded him, even momentarily forgetting when they heard those words.

"When did Leni wake up?" Lana said.

"I don't know. They just called me."

"Wait. Why didn't they call us?" asked Mr. Loud.

"Professor must have given them the ancestral house number in case she woke up; surely he knew I would answer. This guy is so tight; he's scary."

Lynn takes Lincoln by the neck, hugging him because she is very happy with the news. "Good. What are we doing standing here? Let's go see our sister."

After bringing Albert and Myrtle, they went directly to the hospital.

When they arrived, they introduced themselves as Leni's relatives. Dr. Cornwallis told them they could only see them one by one, except for parents and grandparents, who can enter in pairs, for only five minutes each.

In Leni's room,

Her parents were the first to enter.

"Hello, dear," Rita greets her daughter.

"How are you, princess?" Her father greets her.

"Hi mom, hi dad. I feel good. It was the best nap I've ever taken." Leni looked in all directions in confusion. "Wait. This isn't my room. Where is my stuff?"

Messrs. Loud saw each other. The doctor had previously explained that Leni would not remember what happened the night of her incident due to the effect of the pills. They both decided it was best not to tell her.

"You had an accident at the party. A very bad one. You were in a coma for a few days." Rita tried to smooth the news over and omitted the details of the incident.

"But fortunately, Lincoln used his business contacts to get you to a private clinic. They've treated you well here."

The last thing her father said made Leni think. Lincoln took her to that hospital. And just by looking at the private room they gave her, you can tell it's expensive. "Did Linky ask to bring me here?"

"That's how it is. Your brother is paying for all of this. Showing how much he loves you."

For Rita, those words had a sisterly connotation. This is the kind of love she was talking about. But to Leni, they meant something much deeper.

"Can you call him? I want to see him. I want to thank him."

"Of course, my dear. I will call him immediately." Rita kissed her daughter's forehead and left with her husband.

"Lincoln. She wants to see you," his father said.

Lincoln nodded and entered the room, carrying a large bouquet of flowers.

After closing the door, he walked over to Leni's bed, testing his surroundings with his cane. Well, he wasn't familiar with the place.

"Hi Leni. How are you feeling?"

"Better… That must have been a hard blow to myself."

"What? Oh... yes... a very, very bad."

"Oh. Here, I brought you this."

Lincoln gives Leni the bouquet. The girl takes the bouquet and smells the flowers.

"They are beautiful, Linky. Thank you" Leni approaches Lincoln and kisses him on the cheek, making him blush.

But Leni's happy face changed to a disappointed one, as she had a doubt in her mind: "Lincoln."

"What's going on, Leni?"

"Scoods... here?"

Lincoln clenched his fists tightly. But the boy kept a calm face and said, "No, we haven't seen him since the New Year's party."

"Oh. I see. And he didn't come to visit me?"

"I'm afraid not."

Leni looks down. "I guess he wasn't really interested." The gloom was noticeable in the way the seamstress spoke.

"Well, you know what? He's losing it. He's an idiot. Really. I'll let you see our sisters. They're so excited to see you awake." Lincoln got up from his chair, but before leaving, he was stopped by Leni, who took him by the hand. "Wait, Lincoln. Please don't go yet. You have to tell you something important."

Lincoln turns and sits on the bed next to Leni. "Yes, say. What's going on?"

"The truth is... I'm glad Scoods isn't here."

Which surprised the albino. "Is that true?"

"The truth is that... I never loved him."

Lincoln did his best not to smile. "But then, why did you go out with him?"

Leni lowered her head with a sad expression on her face. "I did it so you could forget me."

All of Lincoln's good spirits collapsed upon hearing this: "Why? You were the one who instilled these feelings in me for you. Why do you want me to forget you now? And don't lie, because I know when they're lying to me."

A tear ran down Leni's cheek. "Because I don't want them to hurt you again because of me."

Leni started crying. But what she said confused Lincoln.

"What, you mean you don't want me to get hurt because of you? What are you talking about?"

"I am a magnet for perverts. Many of them are dangerous."

"That night in the park with those men and with Robert, both times, you would risk yourself for me. I didn't want you to get hurt again, or worse. What if you..." Leni couldn't finish that sentence because she couldn't even pronounce that word.

Lincoln knew what Leni was referring to.

He couldn't bear to hear her cry. So he hugged her and said, "Leni. I would put my life in danger a thousand times if it was necessary for you."

Leni returned the hug. "I know. You proved it years ago when you saved Lisa. Even though it cost you your eyes."

"It's because I love you. I will never let anything happen to any of you. Especially you. My dear Leni. It doesn't matter if I have to fight armed men or predatory monsters. I will never let anything happen to the people I love."

Leni looked at Lincoln with sparkling eyes. In front of her, that little 11-year-old boy was no longer there. Now there was a strong and persistent young man who would give everything he had for his family, Linky.

"Leni. I," Lincoln couldn't finish, as Leni's lips silenced him. The girl was holding him in her arms while combing his hair. "She kissed me! She kissed me while hugging me!!" Lincoln returned the hug and placed Leni on top of him. The two continued to kiss, placing their tongues in each other's mouths, until the lack of air forced them apart.

Leni caresses Lincoln's face. Then his bangs moved, revealing his eyes. "I love you, Linky."

"I love you, Leni"

They both kiss again, then a voice interrupts them.

"Is this a bad time?"

Leni turned to see that three of her sisters were in the room. These are Luna, Lynn, and Lucy.

"Girls!" Leni pushed Lincoln off the bed. "I can explain. I. We."

Luna walks towards them with a nonchalant expression on her face. "Keep the details to yourself. There is no need to make excuses. We already know what you did." Luna turns to see Lincoln. "Really, bro? Now Leni?"

Lynn walks towards the boy with Lucy. "If you keep adding girls, you won't have enough time for me."

"Ours," Lucy corrects.

"Wait, you too."

"Isn't it strange that I didn't react any differently when I saw this?"

"Fine. It doesn't matter. Luna and I have a huge advantage over you."

"If you mean what I think, then not anymore."

Which surprised Luna and Lynn.

"What's wrong with you?" The girls watched first Lucy and then Lincoln. which they approached until finally they both gave him a hard slap. At that, Lucy stands between her and Lincoln.

"Wait. He didn't force me, if that's what you think. I wanted to."

"Lucy. You're still too young for this kind of thing."

"It doesn't seem to matter to you because you pounced on Lincoln like a pair of jackals. He's also younger than you. In fact, this year, both of you will be eighteen and twenty, respectively. So you'll be of legal age."

Luna and Lynn avoided her eyes as they scratched their heads to hide their embarrassment.

Leni looked at her sisters and Lincoln. "Do you like him too?"

The girls looked at each other and then approached Lincoln.

Luna and Lynn hugged Lincoln's arms, and Lucy hugged his waist.

"I think you won't want to be with me anymore after knowing this."

Leni didn't know what to answer. There was a lot of information. "Okay... yes, I want to be with you. But... there's a lot to take in. Can you give me time to process it?"

"Of course. Of course. Take your time."

"Thanks, Linky." Leni caressed Lincoln's cheek, then kissed his lips.

The girls watched the scene with their mouths open.

"Either way," Luna said, already resigned to the fact that there would be another girl in the relationship.

"By the way, how did they let the three of you in together? The only exceptions are supposed to be mom, dad, and grandparents," the albino asked.

"They didn't let us. We took advantage of the fact that everyone was distracted looking for the twins and Lisa," Lynn answered.

"What? They're lost?" Suddenly, there was a loud explosion that shook the entire hospital. "Forget it. Something tells me they have already been found."

After that, the louds were kicked out of the hospital. Only seniors will be allowed to enter.

-At Myrtle and Albert's house-

Lincoln lay down on his bed. He felt really happy. His lover, Leni, finally accepted his feelings. Nothing could spoil that moment.

At the same moment, Lincoln's cell phone began to ring.

"Hello, Professor."

"Hello, Lincoln. Excuse me for calling you. But I just received a message from the hospital where your sister was taken."

Lincoln pats his head. Because he already knew where this was going. "Let me guess. A compensation bill, right?"

"Smart boy. Yes. That's exactly it. And it's so huge."

"How much?"

"Three hundred and fifteen..."

"Three hundred and fifteen thousand!!!!!!!!?"

"Million. Let me finish."

"What!? 315 million, Haaa!!!!!!!!"

"I can pay it. But you know that will only increase your debt. Do you want me to pay it?"

Lincoln didn't want to say yes. But he knew that even with his rich salary as a fighter, he couldn't cover all this in less than ten years. "Fine... pay it."

"Done. I think we'll be working together for a long time, Lincoln."

Venom hung up. Lincoln was left mentally exhausted, knowing that his debt to Venom had increased.

"Okay. I'll have to keep fighting for Venom until I'm twenty-one…"

"But at least Leni loves me."

-In the meantime. In venomous Industries-

Professor Venomous was walking around his laboratory.

Approach a metal door that looks like an elevator door. The scientist placed his hand on a scanner that opened the door. It was actually an elevator.

Venom went down the deep end.

The elevator opened its doors.

On the other side, there was a corridor leading to a circular room.

Venom walked to the center of the room, where there was a board. Click on the icon. He then examined his hand and retina, and finally, his finger was pricked with a needle connected to a device that recognized his DNA.

After all these security measures, smoke rose from the ground, and a circular metal plate began to rise.

Below this is a glass tube containing several test tubes.

Venom takes out his cell phone and dials a number. After a moment, someone answers.

"Hello. Dr. Loud."

"Professor. Why your call?"

"I just wanted to know if your sister injected the prototype into your brother. What were the results?"

"We still haven't seen any improvement."

"So the propagation of artificial cells does not amplify the therapeutic properties of the active compound"

"We will have to look for other ways to increase its properties."

"Don't worry. I have several samples with different genetic mixes. One of them has to be right."

"Don't worry, Lisa. I will find a way to heal your brother," Venom ends the call.

"You are my greatest source of income, Lincoln Loud. And a great discovery for science."

"Either way, I'm curious about how much I can increase and improve you. Now, with the blood samples your sister gave me and with my resources, I will be able to discover the secret of your strength."

The test tubes were filled with different-colored liquids. Other ones were filled with a light-colored fluid known as "skin color."

"Another failure."

He went down again, descending into the ground. Before descending completely, a sign was displayed that read "Faults."

Venom walked to another wall. In this, he wipes his palm. Another door opened.

The professor descends into another elevator. It had a window in the door. From this, it became clear that on one of the floors, his cells were full of people wearing orange prison uniforms. All of them suffered some terrible mutation or physical harm resulting from their experiments.

Finally, he came to the laboratory, where there was a refrigerator with a large vial of phosphorescent blue liquid.

It had a label that said "Active Protein" and a danger sign shown below.

It is the most expensive material in the world, the pharmaceutical equivalent of Promethean fire. But it is very unstable on its own.

"What's your secret, Lincoln Loud? What makes you 100% compatible with Active Protein?" Venom moves to a large computer and begins typing. This showed a diagram of the DNA chain. "I know the answer is here." Venom starts to zoom in.

His microscope was the most advanced in the world, allowing him to see down to the center of the chromosome core.

The scientist searched for hours, very anxiously, until something caught his attention.

"What do we have here?" Venom enlarged a specific chromosome until it reached its nucleus.

After scanning it, the screen came back with a result.

Venomous's smile was huge. His look said he had hit the jackpot.

"Who'd say, Lincoln Loud? You're a marvel of science."

-Meanwhile at the grandparents' house-

Lincoln was resting peacefully.

"In his dreams, he was sitting on his volcanic throne, surrounded by a pack of black wolves.

The Greatest sat to his right and began to speak to him.

"Are you enjoying your new power, my lord?"

"It's wonderful. Thanks to you, I was able to get justice for Leni."

"But the danger is not over yet."

"What do you mean by that?"

"There will be many who want her. And not just her. Also Lucy, Luna, and Lynn. And Miss Santiago. Plus, there will be stronger rivals to defeat in combat."

"What should I do?"

"You know what to do."

The wolf brings a plate to Lincoln.

The albino knew what he meant.

He took the plate, filled it with the red liquid, and proceeded to drink it all. Meanwhile, the gray wolf was watching him from a distant hill.

But that wasn't the only thing that happened at that time. While in his dream, Lincoln gained more power with every sip of the crimson liquid. In the real world, his body was going through a change. His hair started turning black from the roots.
