That Saturday Leni waited at the mall for hours, but her friends never showed.

Figures Leni thought. Looks like Hanna was right. Ugh what do I do now.

Leni stayed in her room that whole weekend.

...

The next Monday at school, as Leni was opening her locker, Hanna Price found her.

"So what they do to ya." Hanna asked.

"Huh?" Leni said.

"At the mall." Hanna clarified. "You decided to ditch me for the popular bitches."

"Sorry Hanna but..." Leni apologized. "I don't mean to offend you, but I've known them my whole life, and I just met you like, last week."

Hanna got an annoyed expression on her face for a few seconds, but it quickly faded. "Oh don't worry about it. I completely understand. So they pull a humongous prank on you?"

"No." Leni said. "They didn't even show."

"So they left you wondering around the mall, looking like a complete looser. Psh, some friends."

"I'm sure something came up." Said Leni.

"Don't you think they would have messaged you or something."

"Maybe their phones died."

"All of them?"

...

Later that day, Leni was walking home, when she saw an assortment of missing persons posters on a fence beside her.

She was shocked to realize they were for her friends, the ones who didn't show up to the mall that weekend.

Hanna Price walked up behind her.

"Whoa!" Said Hanna. "Guess that explains why they didn't show up at the mall last weekend."

Leni had her hand cupped over her mouth. "Oh no." She cried. "I... I hope they're gonna be alright."

"Psh, I don't" Said Hanna, with a smirk.

Leni looked at Hanna with a look of shock and horror.

"What." Said Hanna. "It seems like somebody gave these bitches what they deserve."

"But they were my friends."

"Were." Hanna pointed out. "But trust me Loud, the world would be better off without those bitches."

"But they're still people." Leni added.

...

A hunter was walking through the woods. He spotted a deer, a buck, big one too.

He shot the deer and hit it in the leg. The deer ran off.

The hunter fallowed the deer, taking care not to be heard.

He fallowed the trail of the deer's blood deep, deep into the woods. He was so deep in the woods he didn't recognize where he was, but he was determined to bag that deer. Suddenly he heard something cry out.

He rushed further into the woods, he saw his deer on the ground. It was almost dead, and something had torn its leg off. The hunter aimed his gun at the deer, but before he could pull the trigger, something yanked the deer out of site.

The hunter fallowed the deer.

As he walked further into the woods he came across a terrifying site.

The trees were covered in some sort of white/grey silk.

Hundreds of deer hung suspended by the thick, sticky webbing. The deer carcasses were dry and shriveled up, as if something had sucked all the moisture out of them.

"Holy shit!" He exclaimed. "What on earth could have done this?"

He back away slowly, then he felt something touch his back.

He turned around to see what looked like the mummified remains of a teenage girl, hanging upside down.

"WAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!" He shrieked. Then he fell back into some of the thick sticky webs. The hunter tossed and turned trying to get himself free. But the more he struggled, the more he got tangled in the thick sticky webs.

He looked up, and saw the giant beast slowly crawling down toward him.

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" the hunter let out one final scream, as the hunter became the hunted.

...

Leni returned home and sat on the couch, next to Lincoln, who had gotten home a few moments before her.

"How was school." Lincoln asked.

Leni didn't answer.

"Is... is something wrong?" He asked.

"A...a couple of my friends went missing, I'm worried something really bad happened to them." Leni told him.

"Aw." He said. "I'm sorry to hear that."

"Thanks."

"I'm sure they'll turn up sooner or later." Lincoln said. "Want me to get you anything?"

"No I'm fine."

"Lisa told me what happened the other night." Lincoln said.

"Huh?"

"You're little meltdown."

Leni looked at him with a blank look. "Yeah, that night is kind of a blur to me. I just remember chasing this gross spider into Lisa's room, then waking up in my own room the next day."

"Lisa." Lincoln started. "She said you were on the ground, you had cut your hand open, and you were hallucinating. She said you were mumbling about some woman named Charlotte."

"Well that's weird." Said Leni. "I don't know anyone named Charlotte."

"She also said..." Lincoln started, as he started to tear up a bit. "She said you thought you deserved to die."

"Huh?" Leni gave him a confused look.

"You... you don't deserve to die Leni." Lincoln said as he hugged his big sister tightly.

"I said that?"

"You know Leni you're..." Lincoln started, still holding on to her. "You're not alone."
"Well yeah." Said Leni. "We live in a house of like 13 people."

"No." Said Lincoln. "I mean you're not the only one with these feelings."

"I'm not?"

"Sometimes." Said Lincoln. "I feel... I just feel like I don't belong, like you guys would be better off without me."

"Lincoln don't say that." Said Leni, as she wrapped her arm around Lincoln. "We'd all be devastated if anything ever happened to you."

"Yeah I know that but... sometimes I'm not so sure."

Leni gently rubbed Lincoln's back.

"You know you're the first person I've ever told this too." Lincoln added.

"Really?" Said Leni. "You know if you really feel that way, You should really let the others know so we can help you."

"I... I don't want that kind of attention." Lincoln explained. "I only told you, because if you were feeling depressed, maybe it could help to know you're not the only one."

"Oh." Leni said. "Well thanks Linky"

...

The next day at school, Hanna Price again walked up to Leni.

"Yo Loud." She said. "You know I've been meaning to ask you something since we first met."

"What's that?" Leni asked.

"You're Leni Loud right?"

Leni looked confused. "uh yeah. Who else would I be?"

"You wouldn't happen to be related to a Lincoln Loud would you? Little kid, white hair."

Leni opened her locker, and pulled out a picture of Lincoln. "You mean him?"

"Yeah." Hanna confirmed.

"Yeah he's my brother!" Leni eagerly replied. "Why?"

"Ugh, I thought you were too good to be true." Said Hanna. "Listen your brother's a little creep!"

"A creep?"

"Yeah, a few weeks ago, the little white haired brat starts hitting on me. Then when I told him to fuck off, the little creep tried to hit me."

"That doesn't sound like Lincoln at all." Leni said.

"Leni, be careful around Lincoln, ok." Hanna warned.

"But he's my brother, I've known him his whole life. I held him when he was a baby. He would never do something like that. You must be mistaken. Maybe it was someone who just looked like Lincoln." Leni explained."

"Oh no, trust me, it was Lincoln." Hanna said. "Say why do you have a picture of you brother in your locker anyway?"

"Oh." Leni said. "Well I have pictures of all my siblings in my locker."

"But why?"

Leni shrugged.

...

Leni sat in her special ed class, staring at her homework. Her mind was racing.

"Hey Mr. Hinsky?" Leni said.

"Yeah." Said her teacher.

"Have you ever met my brother Lincoln?"

"I think I've seen him around. I met his teacher Mrs. Johnson. She seems to think Lincoln's a pretty good student, Why you ask?"

"Oh no reason." Leni then went back to her work.

...

Later that night, Leni was sitting at the dinner table, struggling to get her homework done.

"Need help with that?" Lincoln asked as he walked into the room.

"Uh... if you can, sure." Leni answered. "It's high school stuff, it's pretty hard"

Lincoln sat next to Leni. He looked at Leni's homework. "Algebra huh? I think I may be able to help." He said, unsure of himself. "Otherwise we can get Lisa, she's much better at this than me."

"Hey Lincoln." Leni asked. "I need to talk to you about something."

"Sure Leni." Said Lincoln. "Anything."

"So I made this new friend, and she..." Leni started. "She said you hurt her."

Lincoln looked at her confused.

"She says you were hitting on her, and that you tried to hit her when she told you she wasn't interested."

"Uh Leni... I've never done that. Who told you that?" Said Lincoln.

"My new friend, Hanna Price." Leni explained.

"YOU'VE BEEN HANGING OUT WITH HANNA PRICE?!?!?!" Lincoln yelled, with a shocked tone in his voice.

"Yeah why?"

"Leni that girl is BAD news." Said Lincoln.

Then Lori walked in. "Did I hear you guys say Leni was hanging out with Hanna Price?" Lori asked.

"Yeah." Said Leni. "What's the big deal?"

"Hanna Price is literally the worst." Said Lori.

"Look just because she's different, doesn't make her a bad person." Leni protested.

"Different?" Said Lori. "Let me guess, she gave the whole, everyone picks on me because I'm different thing didn't she?"

"Well yeah she..." Leni said.

"She's a chronic liar dude." Luna chimed in.

"And her father is the head of the school district." Lincoln explained. "Even principle Huggins reports to him."

"Because of that, the entire school faculty believes every word she says." Luna added.

Luan joined the conversation. "Hanna Price? Man that girl told the teachers I dumped a bucket of pigs blood on her like that movie Carrie. I got suspended for three weeks and I didn't even do anything. I guess you could say the Price was wrong, ha ha get it? No but seriously Hanna Price sucks!"

"She told everyone I threw a baseball at her." Said Lynn. "I never even met her until that, I was almost thrown in jail with assault, until I was proven innocent."

"You're lucky." Said Luan. "I'm not even allowed to go to prom, they think I'll pull some prank on someone. I like pranks, but I wouldn't do that. I guess you could say I could really Carrie less about pranking someone then. Ha ha get it? No but seriously, I wouldn't ruin someone's prom like that."

...

The next day Leni walked up to Hanna.

"Hey Hanna." Leni said.

"Yeah Loud." Hanna said.

"So I talked to Lincoln about what you told me yesterday." Leni told her.

"Wait you actually talked to that little creep?" Said Hanna.

"Well of course." Leni said. "He's my brother. If he really did something like what you said, of course I'm going to talk to him about it."

"So you tell that little creep to get lost or what?"

"WHAT? No of course not!" Leni said. "In fact he says he's never done any of that to you, and I don't think he ever will do that to anyone."

"Of course he would say that." Hanna protested.

"Yeah my whole family says you're just a big liar. And you've gotten a lot of them in HUGE trouble for things they didn't even do!" Leni explained.

"Of course they would back that little creep up."

"Is your father the head of the school district?" Leni asked.

"Yeah actually he is." Hanna said. "Not like that has anything to do with anything."

Leni was starting to get a little irritated.

"LISTEN UP LENI LOUD." Hanna snapped, pointing a finger, angrily into Leni's chest. "In case for some reason you didn't know. The entire Loud family is nothing but a bunch of self centered conformist ass holes who care about nothing but themselves! But not you Leni. You're better than all of those assholes you called siblings, you're better off without them. You're cool Leni, you actually seem to care about me. Or maybe I'm wrong."

Leni was speechless, she just looked at her with a look of shock and confusion.

"Well Leni Loud." Said Hanna Price. "Are you cool or not?"
