This has mentions of gore, blood and violence.

Lily Loud woke up with a yawn and started to stretch. At first, she was happy to get the day started, but then she was reminded that she was back in this cursed house. She hated it. She hated most of her family besides Leni (mostly) and how quick they are to turn on each other. She had to spend the last couple of years in this house and once she had a taste of freedom...her so called mother calls her. 

"Ugh. I can't believe that my family had to pull me back here of all places." Lily said as she opened the door and descended down the stairs. She could see her "family" watching something and took a peak. It was a picture of Chandler and Lincoln's old friends with the words, College students killed in Forest. To be honest, Lily thought the boys deserved this. Don't get her wrong, she wouldn't wish death on anyone, but....these boys were infamous for forcing girls to date them. This thought ,however, brought a certain question in her mind: 

Didn't Clyde and Stella go on this trip too? 

This question was answered when the news revealed that both Stella and Clyde disappeared. Just then, her family started making comments that made her blood boil.

"I can't believe Clyde and Stella killed them all." Lori said.

"Lori! Don't make assumptions without any evidence. Besides we all know Clyde and Stella and they would never do this." Leni said. Once Lily heard Leni say this, she was reminded why Leni was the most likable in the family (at least in her personal opinion). It was clear that she learned her lesson, but the others...not so much.

"Get real Leni. It's clear that they...." Luna started to say until Lily spoke.

"Wow. You're really making assumptions without any evidence again?" Lily said which made each of sisters (excluding Leni) and her parents pause.

"Lily. That's not what we...." Rita stumbled as she tried to think of an excuse. 

"Save it. It's clear that you haven't learned anything at all and to think that I once called you all family." Lily said which broke her family's hearts, but she didn't care. She needed to find Clyde and Stella before something horrible happens to them.

At the same time, Luan was walking around Royal Woods with some groceries in her hand. As she walked, she saw the broadcast on a nearby TV and smirked. It didn't take the police long to find their work...too bad, they will never figure out who did it. Since she has been careful to get rid of some evidence before they left the campsite. 

"Hm..That's unfortunate." A voice said next to her. She quickly turned to look at them and froze...it was Maggie. She was Luan's best friend and the person who would listen to her problems. She was surprised for a moment, but quickly masked it. She shouldn't tell her who she is...not yet. 

"It truly is." She said before turning to walk away. As she did so, she hardly noticed that Maggie was staring at her back and thought:

Have I seen her before?

Unaware that this question would be answered in the coming days.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter...Bye 👋
