Chapter 01 - Requiem
. . . . .
He panted; that was the only thing Lincoln could do now.
That, and waiting for the guy to give up...
"C'mon kid!"
That was not the case though. The guy; the rapist clearly wasn't giving up
The guy chased him down... and shot him... right in his chest... less than a hair's breadth from his heart.
"You don't want to get lost in the woods, aren't ya?"
He didn't care...
"So late at night nonetheless."
He couldn't care about anything the guy has to say...
"Its scary out here. C'mon..."
He had to agreed with that guy, the tree kind of whispered something in his ears... scary...
"I will count to ten... and if you don't come out..."
Chance; this is his chance.
"One!"
He re-adjusted his position and took a running pose...
"Two!"
He would outrun this guy...
"Three!"
He has saved as much energy as he could...
"Four!"
And he would use it wisely...
"Five!"
He took off...
Only to got shot in his spine...
"Lucky six!"
His eyes widened... It was a trick...
"I will enjoy this."
The guy came to him...
He could hear the guy unbuckling his jeans... and slid his sweatpants off...
"Tell me kid..."
His eyes slowly shutting closed...
"Have you ever had your ass fucked?"
Lincoln didn't respond...
Nor did he move.
. . . . .
Lincoln opened his eyes... and watch as a group of clear clouds floating above him.
He sat up quickly and view his surroundings... beautiful.
He don't know where he is... but the place is beautiful.
It also look like a field.
Green grass everywhere. Soft ground.
He appreciate the way the calmed wind hitting his...
He then just realize he is buck naked.
Out of nature, he cover his private.
"Lincoln. Lincoln Loud?"
He startled and turn around... only to turn back around as he remember he was without coverings.
He heard the person giggles... and from his experience living with females, he quickly could identify the person is a she.
"Its okay. New arrival would always do that."
He got confused with what the girl said.
"Can you turn around now?"
He hesitate... but his butt is already naked for the girl to see; damage is done.
He look behind... the girl seems like his height... and his eyes widened.
The girl wear nothing, too.
He could make out how much freckles she has on her perfect pale skin... and her... her...
"Oh brother! You better get your friend down!"
He look down... and cover his boyhood again, "Sorry!"
He is so embarrassed.
Gotten a hard-on infront of naked girl; very classy, Lincoln.
The girl smirk, "Its fine. Like I said, every person do that when they first arrive here. Its not a crime to look."
He slowly gaze upward and stare at her for a moment... and his eyes trailed down to her budding chest... and her pink-ish bottom lips.
"Hey! Can you stop staring at my girls?! While its not a crime, its very rude and disrespecting and disgusting."
He averted his gaze from her private... feeling very ashamed of himself.
The girl sighed, "C'mon. My brother wanted to meet you, special one."
Special one?
"Yeah, c'mon." She take his wrist and suddenly they are at a different location.
Crowded.
Is the word Lincoln have in mind as he watch millions of people; some with red skins, some are white and some are tanned, lined up in a long line towards the end, where a bright light could be seen.
"What are this place?"
The girl glanced at him before looking further forward, "This is where my brother judged his creation and decided where to put them."
"Put them?"
The girl nodded, "Yeah. Look down."
He looking down... and almost lose his balance out of reflex.
Nothing. No ground or land is under them.
Its like they were floating in mid air.
"No. Not floating. My brother created the ground to be invicible so his creation could see another realm; Hell."
He whipped his head at her in pure shocked, "Hell?"
"That's right! What you see down there is Hell. The kind of place where sinners being punished and tortured for eternity."
He trembled in fear.
He often heard crazy religious people warned about Sins, Hell, Heaven, and other things... and like most resident, Lincoln didn't pay it any mind.
Now, he did and he scared for his fate.
"Don't be..." He whipped his head to the girl, "as suprising as it sound, Hell is not that bad."
He stare at her, confused.
"I mean, its not the kind of place you want to be, but its not that nighmarish like what you had seen in Hollywood films. That has being exaggerated."
Hearing her soft angelic voice made him a whole lot more calmer.
"I take that as a compliment and ironism. Now please follow me." The girl stopped, and turn around, "My name is not the girl. Its Angel." She smiled at him.
He blinked a few times... before smiled as well as he offer a handshake.
"Lincoln Loud."
"Yeah, I know. And better save that handshake for my brother."
He retreat his limb... somehow offended.
"Don't need to be offended Lincoln. Its just God stuff, nothing you need to worry."
He nodded to himself and followed her to god know where.
As he and she climb down the hill, he can see very clearly that all people around here... are buck naked.
Just then he would cover his boyhood, but now after hearing Angel reasurrance, he don't need to anymore.
"Try to not be cocky okay?" She laughed.
Face burned red, he cover his boyhood once again.
Angel smirked at him from behind, "Oh c'mon. You must be super horny for getting three hard-on in one short moment."
Still blushed, he mirrored her smirk, "The word you'd been looking for is endowed."
"Yeah yeah, I know. Lynn Sr, the man with eleven children and Rita, the woman who gave birth to you and your sisters."
"Are my family that famous?"
"Not that much. It is our duty as the God and Goddes to know each of our creation, and you, Louds has been under our microskope for a while now."
He slightly uncomfortable with the way this topic are heading.
"I mean, do you know its a sin for lusting over your sisters."
Dang it.
She chuckled, "Nothing to worry Lincoln. Each human we created is full of flaws. I know a lot of my creation who committed incest, even rape among siblings."
"Oh please don't say that. I hate that word. Both words."
She stopped walking and fold her arms under her budding chest and stare at him with knowing eyes.
He sighed, "Okay, I'm in love with some of them. I mean what could I do, they are all crazy beautiful and cute. Its hard not to developed some sort of unbrotherly love towards them."
He glare at the ground, "Besides, if my friends didn't fed me with incest pornography, I would never build this feeling in the first place."
She leaned closer to him and put a reasurring hand on his shoulder, "Its okay Lincoln." She pulled him close and wrapped her arms around him.
He couldn't care about his naked chest brush against hers... or was no longer cover his friend. Instead he embrace her.
After a while, she release him, "Now cheer up. My brother is an emotional being, so if he saw you crying; best case scenario, he would cry as well."
He laughed a little, "Sound like an interesting brother."
"Oh he is." She resume walking and so is he. "When he tried to be."
. . . . .
Lincoln and Angel arrived to a boring looking office. Really. It is a boring four plain white walls and a roof.
He stared at her in blank expression, "Does this place really your brother's?"
"Yes, now sit down."
He obliged and sat down on the metal chair; coldness stung his naked butt and a loud thumping of footsteps is heard.
Follow by grunts and... yawns.
"Good evening, sis." The voice is thick and filled with manlike aura.
"Good evening, bro."
He couldn't see the man but he felt the man's eyes are on him.
"Good evening to you too, special one."
Again, he confused with that name.
The man walk passed him and infront of him, then sat down across from him.
The man is packed with muscles, and his warm smile is very comforting.
"Thanks, I tried. Anyway, I'm God, but anyone free to call me Aras."
"So you're not Jesus?"
God and Angel stares into each others eyes before looking back at the boy.
Aras cleared his throat and changed the subject, "Now special one, in your resume; it said that your soul was found in the Royal Woods Woods, right?"
He bob his head slowly.
"It said here; you was being... molested and killed by this person you referred as 'the guy', right?"
Again, he nodded.
"Well, good news for ya, kid. The guy is Killian Rag Flagg and has been apprehended."
He still sad, but his lips found a reason to smile.
"But, that doesn't matter if you don't answer this question. Do you wish to be resurrected or stay in these realm?"
"What?"
God sighed, before explained, "You cannot goes to Heaven nor Hell, because you are, what we call as; special one."
He didn't understand.
"Someone, in the realm of the living, who loves you dearly still held you in her heart... and prayed to us for bringing you back to life."
He still couldn't understand, but his palm sprawled flat on his left chest.
"God could grant someone's pray... and because this is the first time she ever pray to us, we don't want her to lose faith in God. So like it or not, we had to grant it."
Tears striked down his eyes.
"Lincoln. Hey, calm down. We could talk about this. Just thinking it through, kay?"
He nodded... wipe his tears away.
"One more thing..." Lincoln turned to look at Angel, "If you decide to stay. You will be stuck in these realm for eternity."
God smack her head, "Don't put anymore pressure on him, sis."
She smiled nervously, before saying sorry towards Lincoln.
He smiled, only a little... and begin thinking his option.
Seems like smart option is to live again.
If he is to stay... not only would he be stuck in this realm for eternity but... he would never watch any of his sisters finished their graduation or watching his youngest sister; Lily grows up.
Or became Bobby's best man for his wedding with Lori, or a man model for Leni's fashion industry.
Luna, the closest sister to him will have no partner to goes to for her problem, no moral support or advice for her to Sam.
He could also see it; Luan wouldn't smile anymore, wouldn't make jokes and Lynn; heartbroken, regret and pain.
He couldn't help Lucy with her poems any longer, or helping Lana taking care of her pets or Lola with her beauty pageants.
He would be missing out on Lisa's nobel award when she has created Time Machine and would missing the chance to become the best brother for Lily.
Angel has long gone from her position next to her brother and actually were by Lincoln's side... embraced him as he bawled his eyes out.
Pat his back. Whispered good things to him. Reasurring him.
God wiped his watery eyes, seeing as Lincoln did the same.
"God..." He started. "Please take me home."
Aras stared straight into the boy's grey-ish eyes... dead people's eyes, before offering the Loud boy a hand.
"A handshake then."
He confused with such gesture, but complied; as his dead human hand touched God's mighthy hand...
Sparks of electricity surrounding his hand till it reached his arm, shoulder and to his chest... and his none-beating heart.
Before he could saying and asking anything to God, he found himself awake in the middle of the woods.
He realized he had no sweatpants on, and his body is sticky with dry bloods, he felt cold wind brushed his dead skins.
He placed one palm on his left chest. He felt a sudden rush of relief as his heart is beating just fine; he is alive once again.
He looked around him... creepy looking trees were all around... he was also aware that the sky was dark.
It was nighttime.
He then stood up from his laying position... and groggily walking through the woods, finding the way out.
Left~
He looked elsewhere... not a single person there, or anywhere.
Who said that? He thought to himself. Doesn't matter, but he complied and after he turned left, he headed straight.
Now, turn right~
He did as he was told, and in no time at all, by following the voice's instruction, he made it out of the woods.
First thing he saw when he got out was a row of houses. The neighbourhood. Royal Woods neighbourhood.
He remembered where his house was... so he slowly followed the cemented street to Franklin Avenue.
As he walk through the neighborhood... he could feel his skin getting colder... the cold winds attacked his naked person.
He collapsed to the ground short after.
. . . . .
Ever since their sole Loud boy went missing, the Louds were just not the same anymore.
The worst of them was Lynn Jr.
The sister who banished Lincoln from their home, their paradise, their Loud house.
She blamed herself for his disappearance. She ruined her future in schoolarship because of her feat of anger.
She almost took her own life. She only didn't because of the news that changed everything.
Lincoln Loud had been found.
When they heard the news, they rushed to Royal Woods General, where their son was being tend to.
When they saw him for the first time after six weeks, they barely recognized him.
He was pale, unlike Lucy but paler, like there was barely any blood in him. He was also lean, like a corpse.
Lynn Jr cried her eyes out upon seeing him; her heart wrenching with pain and guilt at what she convinced herself she had done to him.
Finally though, after two days in coma, Lincoln Loud opened his eyes and tiredly looking around the room.
He felt something warm and soft on his arms. He glance downward and smile weakly at the pure sight.
His sister Lynn had fallen asleep while embracing his entire arm. Lucy is also asleep and m embracing his other arm.
He got his arms free from their embrace and caressed their head, brushing their hair along the way.
"Linky?" He whipped his head and looked near the corner of the room, where his second oldest sister sat up from her seat and jumped towarda him and embraced him in a tight, loving rib-crushing hug, "Linky!"
Others must have woken up because he felt another pair of arms wrapped around his skeletal physique.
"Linky..." He couldn't believe his ears. She say his pet name. "I'm sorry, Linky." Lynn Loud Jr said. "You're not bad luck. No, you are my brother. Please don't leave me again." She cried.
He felt a sudden pain in his heart; bad luck. The whole reason why he ran away from the Loud house. He thought he could survive on the streets by himself.
He had survived for two weeks but apparently karma struck him three weeks after he ran away when that rapist chased him down and... killed him.
He felt his eyes getting watery. He wrapped his skeletal arms around Lynn and cried along with her.
"I promise; I will never you leave any of you ever again."
Lucy watched that scene with tears dripping down her chin. Lincoln saw her and beckoned her to join the hug, which she did.
And next thing he know, his entire family were in their famous Loud family massive group hug.
After their emotional family moment has ended, a beautiful nurse with stacked racks came in the ward and tells them that the visiting hours is over.
The sisters groaned in disappointment but with some convincing of tired Lincoln, they came reluctance.
"Okay, girls. Say goodnight to your brother." Lynn Sr ruffled his son's white hair. "Goodnight, kiddo."
Lori and Leni came at his side, and Leni gave him a peck on his pale cheek. "Goodnight, Linky~" Lori rolled her eyes with smirking smile, "Yeah, goodnight."
"Have a rocking sweet dream, bro." Luna said to him. Luan walk next to him and sidehugging him, "Come back soon, okay. You are our only Link in the family. Get it?" To which gotten a chuckles out of him.
After Luan release him, he instantly being crushed by his twin sisters, "Goodnight, Lincoln." He laughed at that cuteness and kissed them a goodnight aswell.
"Bro." Lynn went and gave him a peck on the cheek, "Goodnight." And just when Lincoln thought she gone soft, she hold a fist. He didn't flinched though, "You expecting it. Good job." She smirked, then Lisa approaching his bed.
"Brother. Though tonight is not the greatest night ever. I would still say, have a content sleep and make sure to drink water before bed. Its good for heart and stay hydrated."
"I will remember that." The busty nurse in the background whispered as she wrote that important fact in her note.
Next in the line is Lily, who being carried by Rita, "Poo-poo." Rita laughed, "You heard that sweetie. She say goodnight." She kissed her son on his forehead while Lily cupped his face with her small hands.
Lincoln responded to his family a goodnight, before they left.
The busty nurse begin to tend for her patient, which is him but halted and stared interestly as a little girl in all black kissing her patience on his lips.
"Goodnight, brother." Before she disappeared out of the room.
The busty nurse watched as his pale face returned some colour; red. She giggled at his reaction, "Is she your girlfriend?"
He shake his head; no. Oh well. Nevermind then.
She order him to laid back on the bed and tucked him a blanket, and gave him a glass of water, "Here. Its good for heart and stay hydrated."
He smirked at her and drink the water, "Thank you, ma'am."
Her eyes twitched a little, "Ma'am? I'm barely eighteen."
"Oh, sorry, miss."
She shaking her head, "Tessa is fine. Ma'am and miss made me feel old."
He nodded, and barely close his eyes when he suddenly ask, "When can I go back home?"
Tessa glance at him, then back at her paperboard, "When we finally sure you can get back on your feet."
"Okay. Thank you, Tessa." He shut his eyes closed. "And goodnight."
She look at him and smile after he started snoring, "Goodnight Linky." Gosh, that is the most cutest petname ever!
. . . . .
Lincoln opened his eyes, only to see Angel and she is buck naked.
Though, Lincoln could think less of it as he already had a question to ask.
Starting with the white walls surrounded him, "Is this meaning... I'm dead again?"
"What, no. You're still alive, dreaming to be specific."
"Then why you are here?"
"Can't a Goddess visit her creation?"
"Uh... I don't... know how to answer that."
She giggled. An act that make Lincoln smile.
"Anyway, I was supposed to warn you about some side effect of your resurrection."
"That can't be good, right?"
"Oh, it does, but its depending on your perspective. Do you wanted God abilities?"
That took his breath for a moment, "I'm sorry but can you repeat that?"
"God abilities."
"What is that?"
She rest a finger on her chin, "Basically, you became a Demigod, which are a very powerful entity."
He has a neutral face when he looked up, "So I'm like... Ace Savvy." He had hopeful expression as he uttered those words.
She shrugged, "If that the analogy you wanted then yes. You would be as strong, maybe stronger, as Ace Savvy."
He narrowed his eyes at her, before his expression turned into an excited smile, "Holy biscotti, I could be as strong as Ace Savvy, or stronger than he could ever be."
She giggled, "I take it you would like the new you when you wake up."
He look at her, confused, "New me?"
"Yes. Ya know, muscles and all that trivial stuff. We're already poweful being, we don't really need muscles to be one."
He look at his pale and lean to the bone physique, "So when I wake up, this would change." He referred to his anoxeria like state of a body.
"Yes."
He nodded, and adopted a curious smile, "So, about the super strength?"
"You will have that. It just my brother told me to upgrade your body. So you could adapt to such strength."
He smile genuinely, "What a generous God he is."
"Yeah, he is. Okay then. I will be headed back to Heaven. So enjoy the new body."
She fly towards him and gave him a peck on the lips, and a sad smile, "Its a shame though. God and human can't love each other."
Before she left, she whispered something into his ear, "Because I love you."
