Sid skates in. "Hey Guys Sid here to tell you to check out Rack44 and Vgn Golley and other fanfic writers cause they are great ... and I'm going to be in a team up with Lisa the first chapter is out"

Everyone brushed their teeth and got ready for bed. It was Lynn and Lucy's turn to have Lincoln keep the nightmares away. However, Lucy stayed awake to wait for Lynn to fall asleep. Then, she'd wake Lincoln up to talk to him in private. Thankfully, the rain helped keep her awake.

It took a while, but eventually, Lynn started snoring. Lucy quietly and carefully woke her brother up and asked to talk in private. They got up without waking Lynn and went down to the kitchen.

"What's up, Lucy?" Lincoln asked.

"We need to talk, Lincoln," Lucy said.

"About what?" Lincoln asked.

"About the fight, near the end when you give him a beatdown. I saw the red hot fire in your eyes . . . the anger. That wasn't random rage. What was that?" Lucy asked.

Lincoln sighed and poured himself and Lucy a glass of water.

"When I was down, I saw not Lynn right now but the Old Lynn—the Lynn who used to bully me, mock me, ridicule me . . . and who would mark me as bad luck," Lincoln explained.

Lucy's eyes widened behind her bangs as she listened.

Lincoln continued, "I saw Crikey as Old Lynn, and that fueled my rage. I don't remember all of it clearly. It's a bit fuzzy to me, like a dream . . . but I remember her voice saying all the mean and hurtful things if the Bad Luck incident did happen. After that, I just . . . lost it."

Lucy shivered from that and got goosebumps.

"But after it was over, I felt better. Whatever anger was left in me was gone. Like Clyde's therapist, Dr. Lopez, said, 'Sometimes you have to let it out so you can let it go.' So, you could say that it was a coping technique to let go," Lincoln said.

"So, you pretended to see the Old Lynn, and that's where that anger came from?" Lucy asked.

Lincoln nodded as he sipped some water.

"But you don't have anger still remaining in your heart?"

Lincoln shook his head.

"You're sure?"

"I'm positive, Lucy. I love you all, including Lynn. That fight relieved whatever anger I had deep down inside toward the worst offender of the family if the bad visions did come true. I hate the Old Lynn, but not the new one. The Lynn now is wonderful and has everything I love about her," Lincoln explained.

While they were talking, Lynn woke up thirsty. Seeing Lincoln and Lucy not in bed with her alarmed her and made her wide awake. As Lynn wondered where they went, she wondered if Lincoln had a vision of the future. She carefully got out of bed to check if they were waiting to use the bathroom – they weren't there. Lynn still had bruises from training with Lincoln, so she had to move cautiously to avoid hurting herself. Then she heard muffled voices coming from downstairs. Lynn went down but stopped at the bottom to listen.

"I guess I got too cocky with my new strength. I didn't mean to be rough on Lynn. I owe her an apology," Lincoln said.

"Yeah, but . . . didn't it feel good though? I mean, this is Lynn we're talking about. How long has she bullied you, me, and others? I know you didn't mean to hurt her initially, but didn't it feel good to get some payback on her? To get even? We've all been targeted by her roughhousing, you especially. There must be a part of you that wanted to hurt her back like she's hurt you. There's got to be a part of you that felt good hurting her. Even though you didn't mean to, it must have felt good . . . didn't it?" Lucy asked.

Lynn felt mixed emotions. It would make sense if he felt that way, but she hoped he wouldn't.

Lynn shook her head, 'No. No, that's not true. He doesn't hate me . . . right?'

There was a long moment of silence. Then Lincoln answered.

"If I'm being honest with you, no, Lucy. It did not feel good," Lincoln answered.

Lynn let out a sigh of relief.

'Ha! Take that, voices! Lincoln doesn't hate me,' Lynn thought.

However, as she headed upstairs, Lincoln said something that made her stop dead in her tracks.

"It felt great," Lincoln said.

Lynn froze; her pupils were tiny dots, her heart sunk, and every hair on her body stood straight up. She stayed and listened.

"For so long, Lynn has targeted me with her roughhousing, name-calling, and making fun of me. Since then, I didn't hate her, but she wasn't my favorite. Then—" Lincoln breathed a heavy sigh and summoned a light orb, "—these powers came into my life . . . and my eyes were open to such terrible and horrible truths. Seeing all the bad things that you guys would have done to me brought out the worst in me. I've felt anger and hate that I've never felt before. A rage with a fire that (groaned angrily) took me to dark places."

Lucy shivered while hearing Lincoln's voice and imagined what it was like for him – so did Lynn. Seeing what your own family would do to you can make you feel all sorts of emotions.

"So, when I got strong and learned how to fight (clenched his fist while looking at it before his face), it felt great to be the one giving her pain. To put her in her place. To give her a taste of her own medicine. For a long time, I wanted to hurt her like she hurt me. I wanted to show her that I wasn't weak. To finally be able to do all that felt so . . . liberating," Lincoln explained.

That last word made Lynn blink, and she felt weak in her knees. Her hands were trembling, and the hole in her chest grew more heavy.

"It was that bad?" Lucy asked.

"During the early days of my powers, after I saw the bad luck incident, I went through the five stages of grief. You know – denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance. Only for me, it was in a different order. When I got these powers, it was denial, acceptance, bargaining, anger, depression," Lincoln answered.

Lucy raised an eyebrow behind her bangs.

"Bargaining? What, like you prayed?" Lucy asked.

"Yes. I actually went to a church and prayed that God would tell me what I saw was not true. I begged him to help me, but I didn't get a response," Lincoln answered, "The point is, anger was the worst stage because that's when I truly went to dark places. I was so full of rage over what my family would have done to me because of Lynn that I had visions of me murdering her."

Lynn clasped her hands to her mouth to silence her gasp. Lucy's mouth uttered as her hand shook and her eyes watered.

"M-m-murdering?" Lucy asked.

Lincoln nodded, "Yes. When I saw visions of her poisoning the family against all because she lost a game . . . that made me angry. So, I actually considered killing her before she would start the whole mess."

Lincoln tells and shows Lucy a possible future where he puts some lethal poison in the drink Lynn uses.

lucy laid down on Haiku's bed she felt awful if she didn't ask Lincoln about it lynn wouldn't have run away

" And that's what happened lynn had ptsd " lucy says as Haiku winced.

"Sorry about that" Haiku asked.

"Ever since Lincoln showed us the future we've all changed" Lucy says " the day he told me I had a nightmare I was left alone without Lincoln"

Haiku hugged her.

Lucy sniffed and hugged back.

That Haiku creates a spell and smiled wickedly.

the next day at school Luke walked by Lincoln and Clyde as people took pictures of Luke.

"That's Huntingtion manor oh remember when we snuck in there" Clyde asked as Lincoln smiled.

suddenly Chloe came with a back on her head.

"um hi Clyde" Chloe says, nervously.

"What's wrong?" Clyde asked.

"Nothing" She lied but Chandler took off the bag as everyone gasped as she had black and blue gross pimples everywhere.

"Oh..." Clyde groaned and fainted.

"Freak!" one kid screamed as most kids tossed books at Chloe as she ran out.

Haiku smiled and snickered.

" Hey, Lincoln what's going on?" Lucy asked as He explained.

"Haiku you need to make things right" Lucy says.

"Why? I love Clyde" Haiku says.

"Yeah... that was my bad" Dante says. " That spirit was supposed to get me food"

the group rush in.

" Ok I have this spell that will trap it in that box but we need bait" Lucy says.

"Leave that to me" Persephone says as she ran with some juicy meat.

"Over here" she says and ran with the meat as the spirit flew after her as Persephone tossed it in the box as the ghost flew in as Lucy sealed it and smiled.

after school Lucy finds Luke

"Thanks for helping me the other day" Lucy says as Luke nods.

Lucy and Haiku find Chole outside sobbing as Haiku chanted a spell as Chloe's face was fixed.

"My face it's fixed " Chloe says.

Haiku walked up.

"Hey Chloe... Look I'm sorry for doing that.. it's just I love Clyde" Haiku says as Chloe looked down and thinks.

"It's ok" Chloe says " At least you made up for it"

Later Lucy drew a card of a skateboard.

"Ronnie Anne?" Lucy asked
