I don't own the pictures.

Lincoln shivered in the backyard as he was getting soaked by the rain during this cold night. He could hear his family having fun inside with each other while forgetting about him in the backyard. If he was warmer and had more energy, he would storm inside and rant and complain to them, but he was far too weak to do so. Besides...he was sure that in this state that his so called family would easily push him away.

"I hate this." He muttered to himself as he stared at the house with hatred in his eyes. When he finally stopped staring, he sighed and turned to face one of the many fences when he noticed a tall figure wearing a black hood. Lincoln jumped at seeing him since there was no way that someone can walk behind the house without anyone seeing or noticing him.

"Um...Are you alright sir?" Lincoln asked. He didn't get a reply which only unnerved him more. Slowly the figure started to walk towards him which would've made Lincoln run away if he had any energy left to run. When he finally got closer, Lincoln gasped before everything became dark.

Hours later, Luna Loud would walk outside with some cereal only to drop it in surprise. Lincoln wasn't there. Her eleven year old brother wasn't in the backyard with the only evidence that he was there being a soaked blanket on the ground. 

"Guys, I don't see Lincoln." Luna stated which caused the rest of the family to look at each other.

"What do you mean? He's in the backyard...right?" Lori said.

"What I mean is that our brother is gone which means that we're screwed." Luna said.

"He should be here. Maybe he came inside the house?" Lynn Senior said.

"Without any of us noticing? I mean everyone was inside last night and surely any of our pets could've heard him." Lana said. Lynn Junior was about to comment on that statement before Lisa started to speak.

"We have bigger problems than that. You see, we locked a minor outside of the house. A fact that is punishable by the law and since he was kidnapped or ran away...we could be seen as the cause of it." Lisa said.

"But he was...." Rita said before Luan groaned.

"Enough of that nonsense. The only ones who actually believed that were you, dad, Lori, Lynn and Lola. We all told you that it was a terrible idea, but like always...you ignored what we said." Luan said.

"You can't be serious. You never...." Lori started to say before Leni stopped her.

"We did try to stop you, but none of you listened. Not even when we told you that Lynn lost because of those stupid rituals and predictable gameplay. Like come on...anyone could've taped any of your old games and realize what to do to win. Plus we saw why Lincoln was forced to that game in the first place." Leni said.

"What?" Lynn asked.

"We can focus on that later. We have to find Lincoln before something terrible happens." Luan said. The sisters stood up and walked out the door while leaving the five family members alone. As they reflected on their actions, Lincoln was still asleep when he started to hear something....

Wake up Lincoln

Lincoln scrunched his eyes and tried to keep sleeping, but the voice continued to speak in a whisper.

Open your eyes, Lincoln. 

With a groan, Lincoln woke up and stared face to face with an Angel staring at him with a soft smile on their face. Despite this, Lincoln couldn't help feeling like something wasn't right about the Angel.

"W..Who are you?" Lincoln asked.

Don't be frightened my child. My associate has brought you here in order to help you.

The Angel was whispering softly which unnerved Lincoln. He was so focused on the Angel that he hardly noticed the two men laying next to him. When he did, he become even more frightened by the weirdness of the situation that all three of them were in.

I have chosen you along with two others to help spread my message. However in your current form...you will be no use to us. 

"C..Current form? What are you going to do to us?" Lincoln asked. The Angel calmly smiled before they started to change. Their hair was longer, the wings disappeared and they had a wide smile on their face. It caused Lincoln to shake before the Angel spoke once again.

Why I'm going to guide you to a higher existence. You will be my apprentice and help lead others to their salvation. Now hold still my child...this will only hurt for a second.

After the Angel said that, Lincoln crumbled over in pain. Before he blacked out, the only thing he could think of was his family and friends who will be roped into this new hell. Never knowing the terrible things that will come to every single person around the world.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter...Bye 👋

PS: Tell me if I need to fix anything in this. Kinda nervous that I'm not getting the Mandela Catalogue right.
