Chapter 159: 159
"What is this?" asked Mr. Loud. The answer came from his scientific daughter.
"A sleeping drug known colloquially as 'Rufis', or also by its more commonly used Bulgarian name."
"The rape drug," the doctor finished.
The faces of the Loud family are unparalleled. Rita knelt on the floor and began to cry, while Mr. Loud hit a table while screaming to get rid of his anger with several obscenities, just like Albert.
For their part, the girls and Myrtle and Rita surrounded Leni's bed. However, there was one family member whose absence was conspicuous.
In the parking lot behind the hospital, Lincoln was standing. In front of him was a recently purchased and unused trash can that had been a boy's vent tool.
"Damned son of a bitch!!" With a punch, he punched a hole in the container. "Bastard. I will kill you. I will kill you. You son of a bitch. I will find you. I will kill you. I will destroy you." The flurry of blows continued until only three walls of the container remained.
Lincoln's knuckles were bleeding from the blows. The boy tore off the sleeves of his coat to use as bandages. Finally, after washing off the blood in the hospital bathroom and applying some lotion that he always carried with him, he went up to the floor where Leni was. At times like these, he was grateful to be blind. Well, he couldn't bear to see his sister in the state she was in.
While Mr. and Mrs. Loud were talking to the doctor and the sisters and grandparents were getting ready to go home, Lincoln sat on the bed next to Leni, holding her hand. "I knew this would happen. I should have been there to protect you. You are so beautiful and innocent; it is your blessing and your curse. Like a sword with two edges."
The boy caressed his sister's cheek. "I'll find that bastard. I promise." Lincoln moved closer to Leni's face and gave her a soft kiss on the lips.
-At the Loud's house-
The sisters slept peacefully.
Myrtle and Albert stayed the night in Mr. and Mrs. Loud's room, as Rita and her husband decided to spend the night at the hospital with Leni.
Lincoln sleeps on the couch. The boy seemed to be having a nightmare. Well, he didn't stop moving.
-Lincoln's Dream-
Lincoln was in the middle of a forest. The sky was covered with gray clouds as the wind blew strongly and snow fell in torrents.
Lincoln was holding a bowl in his hands while two large wolves walked around him. One is gray with blue eyes, and the other is black with red eyes.
The black wolf approached Lincoln and started talking to him.
"I know what you want. You have every right to take it." The wolf's voice is dirty and cavernous.
"You know you shouldn't," the gray wolf argued against it. His voice was like that of an old man. Quiet and safe.
"He took it from us!!! It should have been our first time! He stole our prey!"
"She's not prey. Lincoln, I know you love her. She's not a sexual being. You love all the girls you've been with. You know it's not just sex. It's deeper than the pleasure of the body."
"Exactly. And if you don't, who'll be next? Luna? Lynn? Lucy? Or Ronnie-Anne? Are you going to sit around while you wait for some bastard to take what's yours? Or worse. What about Lily?"
"Lily?" The latter confused Lincoln.
"Lily, pure, innocent, and helpless little Lily. There are a lot of bad men out there looking for a girl to be separated from her parents for a moment. Will you let what happened to Leni happen to Lily too?"
"No!!!" Lincoln's scream was filled with all the rage his soul contained.
"So, you know what you have to do." The wolf leads Lincoln to a pond with some black wolf-shaped statues placed in a circle. From the statues' mouths flowed a thick red liquid that shone like the blue liquid of the cave.
The black wolf stepped aside so Lincoln could collect some of this liquid in his bowl. Before he could drink it, the gray wolf appeared.
"No! Lincoln. Don't do it. This isn't the way."
"Don't listen to him. Think about Leni. How many girls have to suffer for you to realize?"
Lincoln thought, "The Black Wolf is right. Leni deserved justice. No, she deserved revenge."
Lincoln looked at his reflection in the liquid he was holding in the bowl and said a few words.
"For Leni. Cheers"
The boy began to drink the liquid while the black wolf laughed evilly.
Suddenly Lincoln's body began to turn black, and bulging veins developed red on it.
Lincoln woke up from this strange dream. This is not the best way to start the new year. But he didn't have the time or inclination to think much about it.
Lincoln got up and went to the bathroom. After washing his face and teeth, the boy went downstairs to prepare breakfast, but from the stairs, he could smell a scent coming from the kitchen, where Myrtle was preparing breakfast.
"Grandma? What are you doing up so early?"
"Oh. Good morning, Linky. I thought about making breakfast today. You always do, but I think it's best if you rest today."
"Yes. I think I could use a break." Suddenly, Lincoln's cell phone started ringing. "Excuse me, Grandma. I have to take the call." Lincoln got up from the table and left the house to talk in private.
"Yes"
"Hey Lincoln. Happy New Year."
"Good morning, Professor."
"I found out what happened to your sister. What a terrible thing."
"How did you know?"
