Huey's POV

''So... Lou, what happened while you were with Bradford.'' I anxiously asked, but he didn't respond. Eventually everyone looked at him.

''Oh.. ehm, yes ofcourse Lou is Louie.'' He murmured. ''I just, irritated him long enough. So I'm going to bed now, I am tired.''

''Oh.. Yeah of course, goodnight Louie.'' He walked away, looking for the bedroom.

''It's upstairs...'' Webby shouted. ''Here, I will go with you.'' She stood up and walked with him to our bedroom.

''Don't worry boys, I think Bradford did something far worse too him than he is telling. Just give him time to tell us what happened.''

I was worried about him. This wasn't right. Dewey and I didn't comment on Scrooge though, instead we just walked up the staires to our room. Before Dewey opened the door, I pulled him aside, and nudged to Webby her room. We knocked on her door, and waited.

''Who's there? I trained in multiple forms of the martial arts, so if I were you, I would be very very careful.''

''Webby, it's just us, Huey and Dewey.''

We waited for a bit until she finally opened her door, and nodded that we could come in.

''Something's up with Louie.'' She immediately said. 

''That's why we are here.''

''He's either forced, hypnotized or... CLONED!''

''Yeah, something's up, but we set the 'cloned' theory aside.'' I said, knowing it couldn't be cloning.''

''Awh, I liked that one. But anyways, when I was walking to his room, he looked to everything. Almost as he was examining every single detail of the mansion. I know that he only lived here for a few months, but... I don't know it's just weird.''

Then silence, we were all thinking. The brother I only knew for 2 or 3 months, suddenly took a different turn in his behavior. Is he finally showing his true colours? 

But... No, no I only knew him for a few months, but he is my baby brother. This isn't-

My thoughts were interrupted by some knocks.

''Hey.. uhm guys? Can you come to the room, I wanna go to bed... But..''

Dewey and I walked to the door and opened it. ''What is it, Lou?''

''Well, with Bradford and.. F.O.W.L... And, and.''

''And, you don't want to sleep alone.'' He looked up and nodded. So Dewey and I walked with him to our room, got ready for bed, and got to sleep.

Before I closed my eyes, I thought one last thing.

It's all gonna be alright, I have my little brother back, and that's all that counts.

''Louie's'' POV (fake Louie)

Snorring, my que. I luckily did not have to climb down the ladder, since I was on the lowest bed. The mission was simple.

Make a new adventure for the Duck family.

Trap Duck family.

Destroy Duck family.

I walked toward the library of Scrooge McDuck, making as little sound as possible. It was going to be easy. Before I left the headquarters, Bradford provided my with an old map that would lead the Duck family to their end.

I finally made it to the library, after a couple of minutes. I maybe was an exact replica of Llewellyn Duck, but I didn't have any memories from him. I closed the door, and walked towards Scrooge his desk.

This was going to be easy, Bradford told me at least 5 times. I sighed... but I didn't know why. Of course I wasn't something quite alive, but what was I?

While planting some clues, I thought about what I saw while at F.O.W.L. Sure I wasn't Llewellyn Duck, but still. Whatever he was going through wasn't the nicest, being kept away from his family. And the way he was being treated.

No.

I have a task.

And I was almost done with it.

But what will happen when I'm done?

Surely Bradford will need me.

Wait, why would he need me? A clone of Llewellyn Duck?

This is not good.

I had to warn the McDuck family, I had to stop this. I didn't want to do it anymore, I.. I.

Suddenly a door opened, and light from the hallway shone into the library. I hid behind the curtains, and waited silently. Slow footsteps were approaching me, until I heard a chair being shoved, and someone sitting on it. It looked like someone was reading some books, and that I would have to stay here for some time.

So I did, I waited for almost an hour, I think. Finally someone opened the library door.

''Mister McDuck, it is far too late for your research. Please go to bed, and continue in the morning.''

''I feel like I'm close Beakley, just a few more minutes.''

''Sir.''

''...''

''Scrooge!''

''I- uh what?''

''Just go to bed.''

''Well if you say so.'' And so Scrooge and Beakley both went away, and left me in the complete dark room. I had to remove all the things, before Scrooge saw them, and led the whole family to their trap. I grabbed everything that I could find, and put it in my pockets. I would explain it in the morning about the plan, but for now, I just had to get back into bed.

While walking through the hallway, I tried to remember which door I had to go to for the bedroom. Before I could open one though, I heard someone behind me.

''Louie?'' I turned around and saw the red brother of Llewellyn. Huey I think.

''Yes, Hue?''

''What are you doing up so late?''

''I could ask the same about you.'' That was a stupid answer.

''I was searching for your, I was worried when your bed was empty.''

''I.. I just couldn't sleep. Nightmares about...''

''It's alright, let's just try again okay?'' He opened our bedroom door and tucked me in. I just stayed silent. He climbed into his bed and turned of the light.

''Goodnight Lou.''

''Goodnight Hue.''

It didn't feel right. I don't like pretending to be somebody, even though, I'm technically him.

Yep, I'm gonna defenitly tell them tomorrow.


Bradford's POV

''Did he do his part, Agent D?''

''Well... He did, but then he removed everything again.''

''What do you mean?''

''What I said, it seems like he changed his mind.''

''Can he do that?''

''Eh, I don't think so. But I'm afraid this will affect our plan.''

''Than think of something to make that clone do what it is told to do!''

I walked towards the cell of Llewellyn, and looked at him. He wouldn't be involved in the trap. After his family is stopped, I think he could come in handy though.


Okay.. So yeah, I finally awakened from my writers block, I hope. I am trying my hardest to post as soon as I can, so I hope that I will get a chapter out this week.
