The Secret

Monster

In the park of Royal Woods, Stella and Luan Sat on a bench.

"I'm sure you noticed how Lincoln hasn't been acting like himself for the past couple of days," Luan said

"What's happening over there?" Stella asked

Luan sighed, "I... I don't know, But Luna has something to do with it" Luan told her "I've seen the look in her eyes and it scares me"

"She looked like I had was touching something that was hers" Stella replied

"Tha's what I've been getting do... and I'm afraid of what she may have done to Lincoln," Luan said

Stella looked at Luan. Fear rushed into her head and in her heart. Stella was catching on with what Luan was insinuating. Luan looked Stella and her eyes did indeed tell Stella that she was thinking the same dark and horrid thought for some time.

"Y-You don't think she... She did something with him... do you?" Stella asked

Luan didn't respond before a frown graced her lips, "I don't like to think like that... She's my older sister and I care about her, but the more I think about it... The more It makes sense... with everything that happened to her... and everything I did to her recently she may have had a psychotic break" Luan said

"What happened?" Stella said

Luan took a deep breath before telling Stella what she did

"I had pulled a prank on her at school, but things went wrong. The Prank was that I put boxing glove which would spring and send her flying out the door" Luan said

'That's your idea of a prank' Stella thought

"I put it in the girl's locker room at it was supposed to set off a soon as she opened it, but she was changing and left her clothes in the lockers sho when her shirt and she apparently didn't wear a bra that day, she was gonna grab her shirt, but as soon as she opened it, the glove sent her flying out of the room half-naked," Luan said

Stella could already see what was happening

"I was there waiting to laugh and when it happened I did, but then I realized what happened, Suddenly a group of kids began laughing and taking pictures of Luna as she tried to cover herself up... And She was angry at me... but I don't blame her... I... I went too far" Luan finished

Stell was saddened by the tale. She could understand how Luna would feel after that. Pictures of you half-naked, covering yourself and trying to keep prying eyes off of you. The humiliation was great. The whole school would have heard or seen it. People laughing, Girls spreading rumors, guys looking at you like a piece of meat. It was every girls nightmare.

Stell could understand how someone's own mind could break a little from that. Especially if it was one of your own family members who did it to you.

"So what now... how do we prove she could be... doing stuff to Lincoln?" Stella asked

"I don't know... The camera that I have in Lincolns room doesn't work, and every time I try and go fix it, Luna is there and stops me" Luan said

"So we need to find proof or We need Lincoln to come out say it," Stalla said

"Lincoln won't say anything... he knows that with something like this going on, he knows what it could do to our family and he's trying to protect us and Luna as well," Luan said

Stella sighed. "So we need to find something? we need to find evidence that what we thinking is happening is really happening"

Luan nodded, "I'm trying to Visit Lincoln more while he's sick and making sure that those two aren't always together alone, and I'm trying to get Lincoln to tell me what's happening but he won't say anything" Luna replied

"I could come over more," Stella said "I could try and coax him into revealing what's going on," Stella told Luan

"I was thinking the same, but wait until your home to tell me if you noticed anything different between Lincoln and Luna... if she sees us talking alone she'll know that we're up to something"

They agreed to keep an eye on the two. Prying in their head that what they were thinking wasn't true.

That Night, Stella couldn't sleep.

She was up all night thinking and worrying about Lincoln. Prying to god that what she and Luan were thinking wasn't true. She was afraid of losing him if it was.

Being Molested by someone who was apart of your family would break you. Experiencing something like that with someone who was supposed to love you and you were supposed to trust them would break anybody's heart along with their mind.

She was afraid that if it was true what was the aftermath? wouls she and lincoln still be together? would she lose him to the betrayal and sadness that may plague his mind right now?

She was scared. So, So scared of losing someone that helped her get through the hardest time of her life. Someone that she owed greatly.

The next morning came. Stella still couldn't sleep, but she still needed to act Normal, So she got up when her alarm went off and got dressed. She went downstairs to see her mom had already left for work and left a note saying that she would be back to cook dinner and that her mother loved her. It brought a small smile to her face. She made herself a bowl of cereal and left for the bus stop. She arrived at school with Rusty and Liam, they eventually met up with Clyde and Zach. Stella tried to act like her usual self throughout the day but still couldn't take her mind off of Lincoln. Questions about if Luna was there with him and what she was doing to him alone. As much as she hated it, she couldn't focus in school. Every time a question would be asked or she had to solve a math problem or be asked to read a page from a book her thought ran back to worrying about Lincoln.

Finally, School was over and Stella had also gotten Lincolns homework from his classes. She hopped on the bus and was heading for Lincolns stop.

She arrived at the house and walked up the steps and knocked on the door. She waited but there was no answer. She knocked again and waited some more, but just then she heard a window break and hearing that she rushed in. However, as soon as she stepped in the door here eyes went wide with fear and shock.

On the floor bleeding from the mouth with her right arm and left leg broken and blood also seeping from her waist. Stella rushed to her and saw that the cut was deep but not as deep as she feared

"LUAN! LUAN CAN YOU HEAR ME!?" Stella cried

Luan then mumbled something in her state but Stella couldn't hear it.

"W-What?" Stella questioned

"S-She has him..." Luan said

Stella's body went in to shock as she realized what Luan said. Before getting another word out of Luan she went limp and Stella regained herself from the shock. She pulled out her phone and called 911. As she did she set Luan's head on a pillow and rush upstairs to Lincolns room. There The room was trashed.

The Family photo that was once hung on the wall now lied on the ground. The cracks of the glass only covered the face of Luna and Lincoln.
