Lincoln Loud was sitting on a big rock, thinking. After a while, Lincoln turned to the readers and said...

"You know, thinking about what happened today, i learned that some people can take whatever the world throws at them for so long, but if they were pushed over the edge, they come out fighting, and with a vengeance, too, and that's exactly what happened to me. First i acted like a jerk to my sisters, and now i've gotten myself lost somewhere in these woods, I don't know how i got here, but i was so frustrated, i didn't even care where i went. What really made me snap has started a few days ago..."

3 days earlier... (Tuesday)

At the Loud Residence, Lincoln was asleep in his bed when his alarm clock went off. Once awake, he goes to the bathroom to get cleaned up and dressed before going downstairs for breakfast, once that's out of the way, Lincoln joins his sisters on the car ride to school.

Once at school, Lincoln went to his locker to prepare for the day ahead. Just as he opens his locker door, Ronnie Ann slams it shut and glares at the boy in the eyes...

"I hope you're not forgetting about our history project, Lame-O. You know what's at stake."

"I'm trying to get it finished." Lincoln explained. "It's not easy doing homework when your family keeps you occupied every day."

"And i don't want to see you making googly eyes on any girls, especially Mrs. Dimartino." Ronnie Ann warned Lincoln. "You're mine, remember that!"

"I won't, okay? Just calm down." Said Lincoln. "I promise you that i still care for you and i will get this project done."

"I hope so, cause if you don't..." Ronnie Ann growled and then punched Lincoln in the face before walking away.

Lincoln turned to the readers and said...

"You know, ever since Ronnie Ann and i started dating, she's been super jealous of any girl i ever laid eyes on. We're also nearing the deadline of our history project and if i don't finish my part, she will get held back for failing to hand in her work on time. I wouldn't, but it still be my fault. But hey, even if i did fiunk, i can make up for it, right?"

Without warning, an unknown object hits Lincoln in the head and he fell to the floor. The boy sits up and said...

"You know what?, this whole story would take too long, so i'll just skip to the day i finally snapped."

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">Fast forward to Friday...

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">At the living room in the Loud Residence, the girls were busy in their activities while Lincoln was in the kitchen working on his and Ronnie Ann's history project: A model of Royal Woods in the olden days. A few minutes later, Lori comes in to get a can of soda from the fridge, she then passed out a little gas before leaving the kitchen, Lincoln glared at her behind her back before returning to work on the school project. A short time later, Lola began chasing Lana all over the kitchen.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Hey! You two take it outside! You're gonna break my school project!" Lincoln shouted.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">Soon, the twins ran outside through the back door. Lincoln growls and decided to get an apple from the fridge. Without warning, Lynn's dodgeball flew through the kitchen and landed on Lincoln's school project, damaging it. Lola chased Lana back to the kitchen with anger in her eyes and revenge in her mind, apparently, Lana has gotten mud on her sister's dress. Lola grabbed the dodgeball, while Lana grabbed Lincoln's town model for school, then the twins ran to the living room. Lincoln closed the fridge door and realized his history project was gone. Lincoln ran to the living room just in time to witness Lana throwing the project at Lola, only to miss her while it landed on the floor, while the rest of the girls helped destroyed it entirely. While Lincoln's sisters went on with their antics, Lori stopped the twins in their tracks and stared scolding them.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Excuse me." Lincoln called out to his sisters. "Can anybody help fix my history project?"

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">The girls didn't respond, as their loud nonsense continues. After a little while, Lori answers a call from Bobby on her phone. Lincoln shouted...

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Hello?! Did anyone even hear me?! I'm gonna blow a fuse if you don't drop what you're doing and help me fix my project! It's due on monday!"

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Stop shouting, twerp! I'll be with you in a minute!" Lori yelled. "Sorry, Bobby. As i was saying..."

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">Lincoln growls and repeatedly taps his foot with his arms on his hips, his patience begins running thin. After a little while, Lisa examined Lincoln and said...

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Hmm... Your appearance-sweat, eyebrows furrowed, and teeth clenched are all showing signs of distress. Not to worry, i shall assist you with your project as soon as i conclude my latest experiment."

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Don't bother. You know why?" Said Lincoln. "I'VE HAD ENOUGH WITH ALL OF YOU!"

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">Suddenly, the room was quiet and all the girls looked at Lincoln.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Uh, Bobby, i have to call you back." Said Lori as she hung up her phone.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"You've been playing me like a toy my entire life, making me look stupid, forcing me to do stuff i really hate, always barging into my room pestering me when i'm reading my comics!" Lincoln ranted. "Giving me more than a thousand chores to do, then it's all "Play ball with me", "Listen to my poems", "Please assist me in my experiments", and "You're my butler for my tea party", and then play jokes on me when you think i'm not looking! You girls are the worst sisters i ever had!"

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Whoa, somebody's got off on the wrong side of the bed this morning." Luan said jokelessly.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Come on Linky, you're our brother." Said Lola. "You're supposed to do all that stuff for us."

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Yeah bro, why are you being such a downer?" Asked Luna.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"You broke my school project!" Lincoln shouted.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Oh, come on, i'm sure it's not dented that badly." Said Lynn. She look at the history project and realized her mistake. "Ohh, it's really broken, isn't it? Uh.. Think fast!"

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">Lynn threw her dodgeball toward Lincoln, only for him to catch it.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"THAT DOES IT!" Lincoln yelled. He threw the dodgeball back really hard. Lynn ducked just in time as the ball smashes the window and landed on the sidewalk and kept bouncing until it's out of sight. Lincoln stormed toward the front door and opened it, Lori stopped him and said...

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Wait, Hold on, Lincoln. Where are you going?"

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"I'm leaving!" Lincoln shouted. "I'm done with this project and you can forget about that double date next week! I'm moving in with Clyde!"

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">Lori tried to stop Lincoln, but he shoved her to the floor, he went outside and dashed out of the neighborhood. All attempts to call Lincoln back into the house from the girls have failed as he disappeared from their sight. After strolling around the suburbs for a good 5 to 10 minutes, the boy calmed down and stopped, he sighs and said...

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"I need a soda."

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">Realizing that his family is banned from the grocery store AGAIN, Lincoln travelled to the only place that will suit his needs: Flip's Food & Fuel. On the way to his destination, Lincoln heard thunder and then it began to rain. He stopped and said with disgust...

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Great."

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">Lincoln ran toward the gas station and spotted a brown body, green roofed school bus next to the gas pump, the sign on the bus read "Chestnut/Acorn Scout Groups". Lincoln rushed toward the bus, opened the door and went inside, he dried off with the towel he found on the front seat and then sat on one of the back seats near the back door. He planned to stay inside until the rain stopped, but instead, he laid down on his seat and fell asleep. A few minutes later, we can hear the bus door open, people entering, kids chatting and finally, the engine starting as the bus starts moving out of the gas station and out of Royal Woods. It had stopped raining a hour ago, but after travelling for a few more hours, the bus finally stops and we can hear the passengers and the driver of the bus exiting the vehicle. Lincoln groans as he wakes up and yawns as he gets out of his seat and out of the bus, as soon as he's outside, he snaps out of his sleepy state and looks around at his surroundings, the whole area consist of tall trees, it was no doubt a forest, and it was different than the forest he and his family went to on their vacation, or the forest he and Clyde gone to on their camping trip. Oh no, this forest had an eerie scenery, even worse, the people of the bus was nowhere to be found. With no other options, Lincoln went into the forest and began his search for help."

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">End of long flashback...

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">We rejoined Lincoln sitting on the rock, he looked at the readers and said...

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Okay, so i made a mistake and got myself lost here, but my brain was all blurry from my nervous breakdown, which i blown a powder keg in front of my sisters, and well, i really feel bad about it. But don't worry, i'll apologize and make up to them... as soon as i find a way out of here, well, i might as well do it now instead of sitting here, waiting to be rescued."

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">Lincoln got up from the stone and continued his trek in the woods. The journey was long and exhausting as Lincoln wandered the forest aimlessly and tirelessly searching for help. All was quiet at first for a few hours, but then Lincoln began to hear rustling, followed by twigs snapping and then beastly growling as he pressed on. Soon enough, the noise grew louder and Lincoln stopped just in time to see movement behind the forest's many trees, bushes and many other types of flora, after looking around a bit, he spotted a cougar on top of a huge rock, Lincoln took a few steps back, then looked to the side and saw two more cougars approaching him, he then starts running with the big cats in pursuit. While attempting to lose the predators, Lincoln tripped and fell into a small pond, he quickly gets back up and gets out of the pond and kept running, once back on the run, Lincoln searches for a place to hide and soon enough, he found a cave and went inside, feeling safe, he quietly catches his breath and waits for the cougars to leave, but he's not alone in the cave, Lincoln can hear growling and snarling as he turned around and discovered a pack of grey wolves inhabiting the earthly shelter. Lincoln slowly steps away from the wolves saying...

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Uh, nice doggies. Be good now."

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">As soon as one of the wolves stepped forward, Lincoln dashes out of the cave, past the cougars and kept running until he is far away enough to stop and catch his breath, he knew the cougars will be occupied with their "dispute" against the wolves, (Trust me, you don't wanna know) so he decided to keep moving. After walking for a couple of minutes, Lincoln stops and rests on a big rock.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Wha-what the heck is this place?!" Lincoln said to himself. "Oh man... those were some scary cats and dogs! Well actually, they were wolves and cougars, but still, heh heh, yeah..."

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">After a couple of breaths, Lincoln continued speaking...

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Okay, let's not panic now, you can get out of this mess... well, maybe you wouldn't have be out here if you would have asked the folks on the bus to drop you off at home.. Oh, i'm such an idiot..! *ahem* Come on, focus! You can't quit now!"

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">Suddenly, Lincoln heard wolves howling and the sun beginning to set...

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Maybe i should find a place to camp for tonight." Lincoln told himself as he gets out of his seat and continued on... "Too bad i don't have a tent."

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">Lincoln soon discovers something interesting after a few minutes of travel, it was a chimney from a train engine, and a trail of debris led the boy to a very old and rusted steam engine passenger train that has apparently derailed and crashed into a very tall tree which has fallen on top of the train, the tree was badly burned, and the engine was destroyed and is black all over, no doubt from a fire started by the impact of the crash a long time ago.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Wow." Lincoln said as he was awe-struck of the discovery.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">Meanwhile, back in Royal Woods, the Loud girls returned home after searching all over town for their brother, they were upset that Lincoln was nowhere to be found. Lori sighs as she sat on the couch while the other girls took their seats, Lisa, on the other hand went upstairs to use the bathroom.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"What are we gonna do?" asked Lynn. "I mean, what will Mom and Dad say if they find out Lincoln is gone?"

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Oh, i know what they'll do, they're gonna..." Luna answered.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Flip their lids?" Luan interrupted as she snickers while the other girls groans, she then stops and scoffs before saying... "Yeah, they'll do just that."

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Guys, could you be quiet, please?" Lori asked the girls. "I'm trying to think."

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">After a brief moment of silence, Leni asked the question...

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"I don't understand. What did we do to make Lincoln run away?"

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Beats me." Lana and Lola said in unison.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"I don't know." said Lori.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Same here." said Luna.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Ya got me." said Luan.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Mmm-mm-mm." Lynn shrugged.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Boo boo." said Lily.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Should i consult the cards?" asked Lucy.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"No need, i'm beginning to understand why Lincoln left home." Lisa said as she came downstairs to join the girls.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Why?" the other eight girls asked.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"From what i can gather, we been bullying him, taking advantage of him, putting him in unusual positions against his will." Lisa explained. "And never making anything worth his while, even though money is tight."

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"That's ridiculous! How can we do something so mean to our brother?" Lynn asked.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Well, for starters, Lori made Lincoln go on that double date with her boyfriend and Ronnie Ann." Lisa answered.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Excuse me, that little twerp hurt Ronnie Ann's feelings and made Bobby break up with me!" Lori shouted.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Probably, but maybe he's having doubts about his relationship with a bully." said Lisa.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Bully?!" Lori exclaims.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Anyway, Leni is too lowly intelligent to have done anything..." Lisa continued.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Wait, what?" Leni said in confusion.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Lucy scares him with her unexpected entrances and always bothers him into listening to her poems." Lisa kept talking.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"That's because nobody else wants to listen to them." said Lucy. "He was the only one who can aid me in my time of need."

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Lynn however, roughhouses Lincoln on a daily basis, all while pulling down his pants." Lisa went on.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Hello! We were just having fun! It's not like i hurt him or anything!" Lynn shouted defensively.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">Lynn stood up and shouted...

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"I am not gonna stay here and hear you accuse me or any of my sisters of hurting our brother!"

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">Lynn ran to the kitchen, Luna got off her seat and followed her.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"So, as i was saying, Luna disturbs the whole house by playing her music too loud." Lisa kept talking. "Luan harasses him with her cheesy jokes and regularly throws pies in his face."

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Oh yeah?! And you know who cut the cheese? Not this gal!" Luan told her pun and laughed.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Can you save the stupid puns until we bring Lincoln back home?" Lucy coldly asked.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Sourpuss." Luan grumbled.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Lola blackmails him into being her "butler" and ended up blackmailing all of us afterward." Lisa went on.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Yeah, face it, Lola. once's a tattletale, always a tattletale." Lana told off her twin sister.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Whiny little brat." Lori grumbled.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Hey! Well, i wouldn't have done it if you just let me join your secret club in the first place!" Lola yelled.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Wait Lisa, what about me?" asked Lana.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Well despite from minor occurrences, the relationship between the two of you are quite balanced...for now." Lisa answered.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Uh, thanks... i think." said Lana.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Aw, that's not fair!" Lola shouted.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"As for me, i pressured him into assisting me in my experiments... with minimal incident." Lisa kept going. "And Lily..."

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">Lisa and Lily looked at each and Lisa said...

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"well, she defecates a lot."

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Poo poo?" Lily said while baffled.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"But after today's events, i'm afraid the destruction of his history project for school have became the breaking point for his patience." said Lisa. "So, conclusively, WE are all to blame for Lincoln's disappearance."

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"(sighs) I hate to admit it, but Lisa is right." said Lori.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">The girls began to feel ashamed for what they have done with their brother. Luna and Lynn came back into the living room to comfort their sisters.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"I can't help but feel sorry for Lincoln." said Leni.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Yeah, i guess we really busted his brain.. literally." Luan said as she giggles and snorts at yet another pun, she then stops when the other girls glared at her. "Sorry."

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">Lynn scoffs and then said...

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Some sisters we turned out to be."

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Come on, bras, we can't give up now! Our little bro is still out there and we CAN find him if we keep on trying!" Luna persuades her sisters.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">Lori groans and growls and she got off her seat.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Have you forgotten already?! Lincoln is not in town anymore! We looked everywhere!"

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">Lori sat back down and sighs, she then said...

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"We might as well wait for Mom and Dad to come home so we can face the music. Uh, no offense."

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"I'll let that one slide.. for now." Said Luna.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"I wish someone knew where Lincoln is and tell us." Leni said desperately.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">Suddenly, there was a knock on the front door.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Ugh, you can come in, mom and dad! We own the house you know!" Lori shouted.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Babe, it's me!" Shouted Bobby from the outside as he banged on the door. "Let me in!"

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">Realizing it's her boyfriend, Lori rush to the door and opened it. accompanying Bobby was Clyde, Lincoln's best friend and his sister Ronnie Ann. Clyde was holding a tape from a surveillance camera.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Oh, Bobby, i uh..." Lori stammered. "I'm really sorry, i'm just a little stressed."

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"It's alright, sweetie." Bobby accepted her apology. "Listen, Clyde asked me to bring him here cause..."

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"I just found out where Lincoln is!" Clyde blurted out.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">As soon as the other 9 girls hear the news, they all ran to the door and shouted "Where?!", Where is he?!" and all that, Lori shuts them up by yelling "QUIET!"

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"All right, Clyde, let's hear it." Said Lori. "Where is he?"

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">Back in the mysterious forest, it was already nightime and Lincoln is warming up near a makeshift fireplace inside one of the train's passenger cars, he sighs, after spending all day sleeping on the bus and getting lost in the woods, he begins to feel sadness and regret.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"I'm sorry, everyone, i'm really sorry." Lincoln said sadly as he buries his head in his arms and began sobbing. Lincoln cried for a short period of time before he hears his stomach growl, luckily for him, this passenger train has a dining car with a working kitchen and a little bit of food, it seems that whoever occupied this train has fixed it up real good. After eating, Lincoln explored the train until something caught his attention. It was a billboard full of family photos of the train's "inhabitants", among the pictures was a boxing poster next to the billboard, in the poster was a young tall, muscular black haired african-american teenage boy wearing black and red boxing trunks and boxing gloves. The poster reads...

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">Connor "Brick Wall" Wilson, six time Illinois state junior boxing champion.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">Without warning, Lincoln hears a door opening from the back car, he looked at the door's window and realizes the residents have return home, so he quietly exits the car in the opposite direction. Once outside, Lincoln tried to slip away but he bumped into someone and fell on his butt, he looked up and saw the boxer from the poster in front of him, only he looked different, his hair was shaved off and has a scar on his left eye, and he was wearing grey jeans, black jacket and tan sneakers.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Who the heck are you? And what you doing on our turf?!" Asked Brick.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Uh, hi there, I was just about to leave, bye!" Said Lincoln

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">The ex-boxer was about to grab him, but Lincoln quickly dodged him and make a run for it with the big guy chasing him.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Hey! Get back here!" Shouted Brick.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">Lincoln ran past the other folks inhabiting the train who came outside to investigate the noise. Once they saw him, one of the teens said...

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Get him!"

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">With the older kids chasing him, Lincoln ran and ran through the dark forest. One time, he slipped and fell into a muddy puddle, he got back up and kept going even though he's covered in mud and some branches from bushes tore his clothes. Nearly out of stamina no place to hide, Lincoln takes cover behind a tree to catch his breath. After a few deep breaths, Lincoln takes a peek and saw his pursuers in the distance, and they were carrying flashlights, they haven't seen him so far and after talking for a while and hearing wolves howling, the group returned to the train, all except for one member, a young girl with brown Meryl Silverburgh-like hair, wearing green pants, a green army jacket, a belt with pouches and brown boots Accompanying the girl is a siberian husky who is searching and sniffing for any signs of Lincoln, the boy decides to make a quiet getaway, but he steps on a twig and it snaps, the dog hears the sound and howls when it sees him, once the girl shines her flashlight at Lincoln, he goes on the run again with the pair right on his tail. Lincoln slips and falls into another muddy puddle, leaving the girl to catch up to him and pinned him to the ground, the two fought and wrestled for a bit until a black bear approached them and roars at them, Lincoln made a run for a it, leaving the girl and the husky to fend for themselves. A tired Lincoln saw a light from the distance and slowly ran toward it, the light lead him to a campfire full of both boy and girl scouts and once the kids saw Lincoln, they screamed and scattered.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Wait! Come back! You gotta help me!" Lincoln shouted.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">A few girl scouts popped up and started beating Lincoln with sticks.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Ow! Hey stop it! Ahh! Stop, I'm not a monster!" Lincoln shouted.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">A boy scout pushed Lincoln to the ground and he and other two boy scouts started kicking and stomping him, two girl scouts join in. They stopped when they hear someone blew a whistle. A man and a woman wearing scoutmaster uniforms break away the small crowd and examined a beaten and exhausted Lincoln.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Come on, kids, give us some room." Said the man.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Oh, my goodness." Said the woman,

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">The woman wiped the mud off Lincoln's face with a washcloth.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Help... Help. They chased me... want to go home." Lincoln weakly said before slipping into unconsciousness.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Who is this kid and where did he come from?" Asked the woman.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"I don't know, but we better take him to the infirmary." Said the man.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">Lincoln has been out cold for hours, throughout his slumber, he heard faint voices and then silence afterward. Moments later, he heard a familiar voice...

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Lincoln..."

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">Lincoln slowly opens his eyes, his vision was blurry, he felt groggy, the first thing he saw nearby was two mysterious figures, he groaned and coughs.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Lincoln..."

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">His vision began to clear up and the two strange figures turned into his sister Lucy and a 9 year old boy scout with short black hair, who was sitting next to him in what appears to be a hospital bed which Lincoln himself was laying on.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Lucy..." Lincoln called out her sister's name.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Glad to see you're still in the land of the living." said Lucy.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Yeah... Listen, sorry about the misunderstanding back at the campsite." Said the boy scout. "We thought you were a monster."

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">Lincoln sat up, groans and said...

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Yeah, i remember that. Thanks for the beating, buster. Hey, where am i?"

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Train Grave Forest Infirmary." said the boy scout. "Train Grave is the name of this forest, it's named after a train cemetery just a couple miles away from here. My name is Peter, by the way, Peter Walbridge. I'm a Chestnut Scout, and my sister Judy is a Acorn Scout."

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">Lynn approached the bed and discovered Lincoln has awakened...

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Lincoln, thank goodness you're awake." Lynn said with relief. She then hugs him.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">Lincoln turned his eyes toward his other sisters who were talking to the doctor along with a 13 year old girl scout whose long brown hair is wrapped into a ponytail, and a pair of scoutmasters, one was a man and the other, a woman.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"We're really sorry for everything, Mr. And Mrs. Walbridge." said Lori.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"It's okay, honey." said Mrs. Walbridge. "I know we should have checked the whole bus before we left town, but Earl kept rushing us..."

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Hey everybody! Lincoln's awake!" Lynn shouted.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">The group looked at Lincoln and then moved toward him. Lincoln tried to get out of his bed, but the doctor stopped him...

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Whoa, take it easy, son" Said the doctor as he puts Lincoln back in the bed. "You're still in bad shape."

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"How are you holding up bro? Are you okay?" Asked Luna.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Of course i'm not okay!" Lincoln shouted. "I've been chased around all day and all night by wolves, cougars, bears and that gang who hangs out at the old train and got beaten up by a bunch of stupid scouts who thinks i'm a monster! Gah! I hate these woods! (sniffs) I've never been so scared in my life."

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">Lori and Leni goes to comfort Lincoln.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Aw, poor Lincoln." said Leni.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Gang? What gang?" Lynn asked.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"He must mean those teenage punks who are hiding out at a old passenger train that got derailed off the infamous Rickety Rails route." Said Mr. Walbridge. "Yeah, i know those kids, they sometimes sneak into campsites at night to steal some food."

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Does this gang have a name?" Luna asked.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Yeah, they called themselves Star-Hound." said Judy.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"And what is the Rickety Rails?" asked Lincoln.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"It's a old rail route that was shut down by the government years ago because too many trains derailed from the tracks and crashed into the woods." Peter answered.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Anyway, you kids should steer clear of that rail route, and the area around the train cemetery." said Mr. Walbridge. "It's overrun with wolves, cougars and who knows what else is out there."

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Okay, thank you, honey. We'll leave you girls to take care of your brother now. We're going back to the campsite." said Mrs. Walbridge. "Come on, kids."

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Now don't forget to inform your parents about what happened." Mr. Walbridge told Lori.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"I will. Thanks again." said Lori.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">The Walbridge family leaves the infirmary.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"You're really gonna tell mom and dad?" asked Lincoln.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Heck no! If mom and dad finds out about this, we'll all be in for a long stretch at home!" Luna said aggressively.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"And i can kiss my date with Bobby goodbye." said Lori.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"And my pageants." said Lola.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"And my gigs." said Luna.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"And my sports." said Lynn.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"And don't forget my stand-ups." said Luan.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"I get it already, no more details, please." said Lucy. she turned to Lincoln and said... "By the way, you're in big trouble."

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Thanks a lot for bringing us out here, Lincoln!" shouted Lola.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Please guys, I didn't mean to worry all of you, i'm sorry." Lincoln apologized.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"You should be, you little twerp!" Lori lashed out. "Sneaking on that bus and ending up here by yourself and getting lost in those woods, i can't believe you did such a thing!"

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"What in the world were you thinking, Lincoln?!" Lynn shouted.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">The loud girls started shouting accusations at Lincoln until Luan shouted

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"That was the worst road trip we ever had!" The girls glared at her. "Oops, did i just say that?"

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"What do you mean "worst road trip"? How do you get here? asked Lincoln.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Do you really want to know?" asked Lucy.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">Flashback to a funny road trip scene by Reiz16.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">Vanzilla and Bobby's car were traveling among a road in the countryside. Frequently, Vanzilla swerves a bit, which the girls insides screamed a little and shouts every time it happens. After another swerve, Lynn shouted...

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Leni, you idiot, stop doing that! You're gonna get us killed!"

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Yeah, a car crash would be nice." said Lucy.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Oh, shut up! And don't listen to her, Leni." said Luna.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Hey Leni, remind us again why Lori let you drive." asked Luan.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Come on, girls, Ronnie Ann is feeling a bit down and Bobby insisted that Lori talked to her." Leni explained. "Besides, don't worry about me, my driving has improved since my last test."

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">Vanzilla swerves to the opposite lane on the road, the girls shout at Leni to go back on the right side and she complies.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Nice improvement, Leni!" Luna shouted.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">The van kept swerving, while the girls started shouting at Lori over at Bobby's car, a few minutes later, the honking of a car horn can be heard.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Oi Leni, Lori want you to pull over now." said Luna.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Pull over?" asked Leni.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"She means she wants you to stop driving." said Lisa.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Yeah, so park over there. You're making me queasy." said Lola. as she points to the side of the road.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Yeah!" said Lana.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Speak for yourself." said Clyde who was hiding in the trunk.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">Without warning, Leni drove Vanzilla into a ditch and the van came to a halt, leaving the girls to yell at Leni for her bad driving.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"I knew i should have rode in Bobby's trunk." Clyde groaned.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">Back at the Infirmary as the funny flashback ends...

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Okay, so it was bad idea to let Leni drive, but at least we didn't get arrested." said Lori.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Wait a minute, how did you guys know i was here?" asked Lincoln.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Clyde showed us this surveillance tape he borrowed from Flip at his gas station." said Lori. "It showed you getting on that bus."

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Borrowed?" asked Lincoln.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Well, it was more like blackmail." said Lisa. "Flip gave your friend the name of the town the bus has gone to before he packed up and fled to Canada."

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Poor Canada!" shouted Luan who then laughs while everyone grumbles.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">Cut to Flashback scene at Flip's Food & Fuel...

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">Flip pushes Clyde out the door of his gas station and said...

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"I'll be in Canada 'till this whole mess blows over." said Flip as he slams the door and put up a "Closed" sign on it."

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">Back at the infirmary as the flackback ended...

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"So uh, what was the name of the town?" asked Lincoln.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Phantom Woods." said Lynn. "It's suppose to be some sort of spooky themed tourist town since they filmed a lot of scary movies there."

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Yeah, the townsfolk said these woods are supposed to be haunted by the victims of the train crashes, you know, rubbish like that." said Luna,

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Sounds like my kind of town." said Lucy.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Uh, Lincoln, i'm really sorry.. about everything. We all are." Lynn apologizes to her brother.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"I know.. I am too." said Lincoln. "One more thing, there was this one girl who has this dog and there was this bear and uh, i was wondering if she is..."

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Oh don't worry, she's still alive." Said a man's voice. "I saw the whole thing and i managed to tranquilize the big fella before it tore them both apart."

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">The man approaching Lincoln's bed is a tall, well built gentleman with brown hair with specks of grey and wearing tan sweatpants, brown jacket and black boots.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"The name's Harry, i bet you know my brother, Mr. Scoutmaster himself." Harry Walbridge introduced himself.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Listen, it was nice to meet you, but me and my sisters need to take our little brother home... for some well deserved punishment." said Lori sternly.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Okay, come with me, i have some paperwork for you to fill out." Said the doctor as he leads Lori out of the room.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"Uh, where are my clothes?" asked Lincoln as he looks at the hospital gown he's wearing.

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"They're long gone, kid. They were pretty much done for." Said Harry. "But don't worry, i got something you can wear."

<p style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">To Be Continued...
