Special Sibling Bond Chapter 11: Scary Game

Another day passed, and it was a good camping trip for Lincoln, Luna, Clyde, and his homosexual fathers. Even though the kids were under threat by the large alpha wolf and his pack, it turned out to be kind of fun for all of them, and it kind of felt like being in a survival horror movie and such. Lincoln was looking up this online game that just came out called Agony. This was a survival horror video game that would take horror to the next level. Reason is because it is about a tormented soul in the pits of Hell and is trying to get out of it, maybe a game that Lucy would love to play since she is fond of those kind of things.

One thing worried him, what if his parents won't allow him to play it? Lincoln really wanted to play this game, for he was fund of some horror games like Outlast, Amnesia, Silent Hills, and all that.

It looked really fun to play, many floors covered in bones, and the demons with faces that have no eyes, mouth, or nose, but split in half that make monstrous noises, he wanted to know what the gameplay was like. His parents probably won't let him play this game because he would be too young for it, and it looks so gruesome.

Nonetheless, he got off of his laptop, and got out the door. He found his parents just doing the dishes in the kitchen sink. "Mom, dad?"

"Yes, sweetie?"

"Can I ask you something?"

"Sure champ, what is it?"

Lincoln cleared his throat and began "There's this... game i want to buy. Can I have it?"

His parents stopped what they were doing and looked at their son. "That depends." said Rita with uncertainty. "What's it called?"

"Well, it's-"

"And what rating is it?" Lynn Sr. added

He was afraid that one of his parents would ask him that question. Nonetheless, he continued "It's a game called Agony." His parents had a rather concerned look on their faces. "You see, it's about a game where you are a tormented soul in the bowels of... well, I don't know if I should say it, it's kind of a bad word"

"No, you can say it. It's not that much of a bad word anyway." Said the father.

"Okay, Hell. You journey through Hell to try and get out of it, and you have abilities to possess other tormented souls and simple-minded demons. To get out, the player has to meet the Red Goddess to do so."

"Can we look at it?" asked Rita. "Because I get the feeling that this game sounds a little bit too much for you."

And there goes Lincoln's hopes, slowly falling down the toilet. He sighed and said "Okay." then they followed him upstairs. He showed them the game on his laptop, like showing them what the demons looked like and what the setting would look like, and a few videos of what the gameplay is like. Both Rita and Lynn Sr. were rather disturbed by this, but they have all the more reason for being so.

"Sooo... what do you say." Lincoln asked with a nervous smile

They both looked at him "No. Sorry, Lincoln." said Rita. "But this game looks absolutely too much for you to handle."

"You're mother's right, sport." Sr. agreed. "I mean, this game looks absolutely grotesque and scary for certain eyes... oh and look, it says at the bottom of the website 'WARNING: Not for the faint-hearted' so we rest our case."

"Remember the Harvester? and how you couldn't sleep for the night?" Rita pointed out

Lincoln did remember, and wished he could forget about it already, even though he was no longer having nightmares about the harvester

Then they both walked out of the bedroom. Lincoln however, was persistent, and followed them downstairs. "But guys, this game looks so cool, and I want to know what it is like in it."

"Sorry, Lincoln, but our decision is final." Lynn Sr. said firmly.

"aww."

"look, maybe when you're older, okay?" Rita reassured softly.

"okay. I'll just go and play my guitar."

Both parents smiled. "Okay, that's fine." Said the father. Lincoln was extremely bummed that he couldn't play that cool-looking game. He went in his room, and tried to play his guitar, but was so bummed that he couldn't think of a song that he wanted to play.

then the door went open "hey, bro, I just wanted to show you-" it was Luna, who stopped talking after seeing his little brother like this. "What's the matter dude?"

"oh, mom and dad won't let me play this cool video game I want to have."

"oh, that's a bummer. What game?"

Then Lincoln explained Agony the game to her. She was rather surprised to hear such a dreadful game like this one. "It's supposed to be the scariest survival horror game ever next to Outlast, Slender, and Amnesia."

"I understand bro, but mom and dad are probably right." Then she sat next to him. Her brother decided to sit close to her and put his guitar aside for a minute. "I mean, a game about surviving Hell and getting out of it? Sure I have seen bands associated with Hell like Slayer, but this?"

"it's not that scary for me." Lincoln protested

Luna however, looked at him in a skeptical face. "Really?" She said. "Remember the harvester?"

Lincoln face-palmed his head in irritation. "Why does everyone bring that up?" He muttered. "That was different, that was a movie."

"yeah, but game can be just as scary like this one. I mean, floors of bones, demons with faces that have mouths sideways, raining blood, and tormented souls? That sounds like a game Lucy would handle."

"oh yeah, she loves evil stuff."

his sister made a chuckle. "I know, bro."

"excuse me?" Lucy said coming in Lincoln's bedroom. "Did I hear talk about demons and tormented souls?"

"yep, Lincoln wants the game called Agony, but mom and dad won't let him play it."

"Agony? What is it?"

"a game where you play as a tormented soul in Hell where you are trying to get out of Hell, and you see demons with faces with sidewayed mouths and woman's body parts, and lots of body parts and bones."

Lucy was rather intrigued by this and a smile formed on her "wow, now that I need to check out. Thanks for the tip, Lincoln." Then she walked out

"anyway, don't be mad at mom and dad, they love ya, and I love ya too. Just wait when you're older, okay?"

"Okay okay. You're right." Lincoln gave in. "So what did you want to show me?"

"This cool band called the bloody werewolves. They are awesome!" Then Lincoln went with Luna to her room to look at this band

Later at that night

Lincoln was still thinking about that game he wanted, and couldn't get his mind off it. Finally, he couldn't wait anymore. He pulled out his computer, and decided to play it on Steam.

against his parents wishes, he put his headphones on, and played and thought how cool it was. At first, Lincoln was having a great time, but then over the course gameplay, he began to feel scared.

the screaming of many people tormented on that fictional place. His heart would always beat so quickly when a demon was walking by. He accidentally messed up and get caught and when one of the demons got a hold of him, he tried to scream, but could not because that would let his parents know he disobeyed them.

the creatures on it made deafening screeching noises, and the worst part, watching a baby being crushed by boulders by another soul. He honestly didn't know what to think and felt like he was scarred for life.

"maybe I should just call it a night, hehe." He turned off the game, then the computer and went to bed, with Bun Bun close to him. "Yeah, maybe a goodnight sleep will get my mind of that nightmare." Then he was snoozing

Lincoln's Nightmare

Lincoln didn't really know what was happening. He couldn't really see what was around him, for it was too dark. However, he felt like walking on a floor of bones scattering around. "Hello?" He called out

as he walked, Lincoln heard the sound of bones were making noises of raggedy, and it felt like strolling on a pair of bars.

now he was becoming scared. He found a torch made of bone in it, and looked around to see what he was in to. The walls were fleshy and had some hands and faces sticking out of them. He saw a few people whimpering and moaning with pain and sadness.

all of a sudden, he realized where he was. "Oh no." He muttered. "I'm in the game." He gulped. "Okay Lincoln, he sighed "let's not panic. You can get out f here, I mean, heroes always win, right?

trying to be brave he continued on the bony floor and then he saw a little cell with the gate made out of bones, too. Inside, he saw another soul with flesh peeled off of him.

Lincoln wanted to throw up and wanted to forget about seeing that, but he couldn't. "Well, this should scar me for life." He thought. "Umm, excuse me, sir?" He asked a soul.

the mane looked at him, sniveling in fear "what- what do you want from me?" It sounded like a British accent.

"Can you tell me a way out of here, please?"

"there is no way out." He moaned. "This is where you'll be forever."

"no. When there is a will, there is a way." Lincoln found a hallway with a line of mouth parts that contained molars on the doorways. He heard the gooey and liquid sounds of what appears to be blood when he entered the passageway. It was almost like Lincoln was going inside a monster, but he wasn't entirely wrong of course.

when he was crossing it, he heard a low rumbling noise that made the ground shake, just then, the molars attached some of the wall parts closed in, like it wanted to eat him up. It was just so disgusting, the fleshy doorways trying to get him with it's molars. Now he really wanted to throw up.

nonetheless, he made it and saw a painting that had a very distorted background and made hissing noise. It was like it had no picture at all.

then, Lincoln heard a horrible screeching noise that almost broke his ear drums. He looked back, and saw one of the demons with woman's breasts on them and goat legs. It dashed straight for Lincoln with the ground rumbling after every step he took.

he ran and ran for his life. But that thing was fast. All of a sudden, he tripped, and the demon picked him up by his arm and looked at him. It made a few light screeching noises then gently rubbed Lincoln's head, but then, the demon was about to claw Lincoln with it's razor sharp fingers. Lincoln screamed at the top of his lungs and closed his eyes with comeplete terror.

End of Lincoln's Nightmare

Lincoln awoke with a fright and panted as he looked around. He was more than happy to be back in his bedroom.

However, his fright was far from over. He grabbed Bun Bun and held the bunny tightly. Just then the door flew open, and it revealed to be all his sisters, with Lori turning the lights on.

"Lincoln, are you okay, bro? We heard you scream!" Luna said with great concern.

"No!" Lincoln admitted. He hid under his covers and cowered with Bun Bun still by his side.

"Lincoln, please, what's the matter?" Asked Lori.

"yeah, we want to help you, Linky." Leni added

the other sisters really wanted to know what was bugging him. Luna was the one who pulled the covers off him, and it looked like Lincoln was shedding tears. "Come here, buddy." Then Lincoln was in Luna's arms. "It's okay, Lincoln. I'm here."

"there was a demon." He said.

"demon? What demon?" Asked Luan.

Lucy added "where can I find him? Because I would sure love to meet him." She sounded rather excited, but still had her deadpan voice.

"Lucy!" Lynn scolded

"sorry."

"if there's a demon, we'll get him for you, Lincoln." Said Lana

"yeah, let me at him!" Said Lola, determined to find the creature that scared Lincoln so horribly like this."

then Lily kissed his cheek to make him feel better like she would always do to cheer him up, then Lincoln began to hold her.

"okay, look. I played a game called Agony, okay? Then I got nightmares."

Luna was a little shocked by this. "Dude, I thought mom and dad said you couldn't play that."

"I know."

"shh, it's okay, little bro." She continued hugging him, trying to soothe him.

"so much for my CPR." Said Lisa, really wanting to clear Lincoln on his chest. "Oh well there's another time at least.

it was just then the parents came in. "Lincoln, what's the matter? We heard you scream?"

"did you have a nightmare?" Asked Lynn Sr.

the boy sighed, knowing he will face consequences for this. "Yes, I did."

"What happened?" Asked Rita

"yeah, bro, tell us. We're hear for you." Luna added.

He was paying the piper by admitting "mom, dad, I played Agony on the computer, even though you told me not to, I- I'm awful sorry."

both parents were shocked to hear this. "Lincoln, I'm shocked." Said the dad, crossing his arms.

"Lincoln, we told you that you could not okay that game?"

"I'm sorry, I was just curious." Lincoln said.

"thank you for telling the truth, honey, but you know me and your father have to punish you for this."

"That's right. Now, because you told the truth, we'll cut your sentence in half. So, you're grounded for three days days with no TV."

"or comics, or video games, especially that one just played." Rita added with a slight shiver down her spine.

Lincoln sighed "okay, I deserved it." Then he sniffled. "And I promise I will never play a game like that again, well, at least until I'm old enough like you said. Both his parents were more than happy to hear that.

"So, are you okay? Do you need any water or some warm milk?" Asked Lynn

"or another kiss from Lily?" Lori added.

"no, well, maybe Luna at least, but I thank you all for caring."

"of course, you're our only, brother, man." Said Lynn, ruffing his head. This was making Lincoln slightly better.

"we love you, Lincoln." Said the sisters. They all hugged him, then the parents next and almost all of his family went back to bed, save Luna.

"are you okay?"

"no." He admitted. "I don't know how I will sleep tonight, since I had that horrible nightmare."

Luna had a very sympathetic look on him "would you, like to come sleep with me in my bed?"

Lincoln's eyes went wide. "Really? Wait, isn't that kind of weird? I thought that was for husbands and wives, or three-year-olds at least when they have nightmares?"

"don't worry, it's nothing romantic, because that's just weird. No, what I mean is like a brother and sister together, because I love ya, Linc."

"well, okay, but just for the night."

"of course." Then, Lincoln took Bun Bun, turned out the bedroom lights, and went with her and Luna's room, on the top bunk. "You comfy, dude?,

"uh-huh." He replied. Now he was feeling much better because of Luna's sweetness.

"Goodnight, bro." She whispered "sweet dreams, and let the peaceful floods come rushing in you." Then she pulled Lincoln close to her and both were sleeping peacefully on the bed. And of course, Bun Bun was in on the snuggling as well. Lincoln was already having peaceful dreams.
