Once Upon A Monster!

Chapter 11: Secret Relationship!

Real World!
      Gilbert was in the woods and then Lynda came up to him. Gilbert smiled and gave her a kiss on the lips. When they pulled away Gilbert smiled and Lynda frowned. When Gilbert noticed Lynda frowning, he frowned too. "What's wrong?" Gilbert asked. "This. Us. What we're doing is wrong." Lynda stated. "I know." Gilbert agreed. "Then why are we still doing this?" Lynda asked. "Because of our feelings for each other." Gilbert replied. "That doesn't matter now! What we're doing is wrong!" Lynda exclaimed. "I know that." Gilbert agreed. "Then we need to tell your finaceé." Lynda replied and Gilbert looked at her with shock at first, but then to realization. "I know." Gilbert agreed.

Flashback!
    Lagoona was at the library and writing things down in a notpad with books and text books surrounding her. Someone sat across from her but she didn't notice. "Hey." Gil greeted and Lagoona looked up and smiled. Lagoona put down her pen and took Gil's hand. "I didn't see you yesterday." Gil stated. "I know." Lagoona agreed as she took her hand away. "I have been really busy with school and stuff. I'm behind in some of my classes because we left for a few days to save Kelpy. So I'm trying to catch up." Lagoona explained and Gil nodded. "How about dinner, tonight?" Gil asked and Lagoona smiled. "Sure." Lagoona agreed and Gil smiled. "I probably should get back to this." Lagoona stated. "Okay." Gil stated as he got up and walked over to him. "I love you." Gil stated. "I love you too." Lagoona stated. Gil gave Lagoona a kiss on the top of the head and walked off as Lagoona watched him.

       As soon as Lynda got in the office the next morning, she got a call. She drove to the Jenson Twins Hotel. She got out and saw Willow walk out of the door with tears and a small blanket over her shoulders and a cup of hot chocolate in her hands. Lynda walked to Willow. "What happened?" Lynda asked. "Gabriella was coming home from the library in the storm last night and.... And she never came home." Willow stated as she started crying. She was about to call when Marvin caught her and helped her up. "It's okay. I'll find her, I'm sure she's okay." Lynda replied and Willow nodded in agreement.
        Lyna, Marvin, and Willow drove to the library. When they got there, they got out and saw the library closed. Then another car drove up and someone got out, it was Wendy and Daisy. "What's going on?" Wendy asked. "Gabriella never came home last night." Lynda replied as they saw a frantic Willow. Wendy unlocked the library and they all walkwd in.
     "Gabriella came in 5 minutes before we closed. Daisy was cleaning and I was in the back. I came out to put some books where they belong and I saw Gabriella. She comes here all of the time. She's trying to read each book alphabetically. Well, we talked for a minute and then she got her book. Daisy checked it out so I can finish putting the books up. Daisy told her to be careful and then she left. I even heard her car start and leave. Then the storm started about a minute later and it got real bad real fast. I hoped she was okay so I tried to call her at midnight exactly because that's when we closed but there was no answer." Wendy explained. "Midnight is when I called her." Willow stated. "That's probably why. When did you stop talking?" Wendy asked. "12:07." Willow replied. "I called her again at 12:10. Still, no answer." Wendy stated. "She should have." Willow stated. "I called her at 12:30 to make sure she got home okay, but no answer." Daisy stated. "I called her every 10 minutes all night. She never answered again." Willow stated. "Okay. We'll see what we can do." Lynda stated and her and Marvin left.

Flashback!
       Lagoona was with Clawdeen. "What's wrong?" Clawdeen asked and Lagoona sighed. "I don't know. Something's been weird with me and Gil, but I don't know what." Lagoona replied. "I saw this happen with Draculaura and Clawd and then Cleo and Deuce, Frankie and Neighthon, and Ghoulia and Slow Moe. In high school you never had to worry about where your relationship is going, but now that you're both adults and are in college. It's more real and scary and you're probably afraid. It's okay and apparently natural for this to happen. You just have to breathe and keep taking things as slow as you need." Clawdeen explained and Lagoona smiled and nodded. "Thanks, Clawdeen." Lagoona stated and they hugged.
     Lagoona walked to the Coffin Bean and saw Gil with his back facing her. She smiles to herself but then her heart started to race. She took a deep breath and then walked over there and sat across from him. "Hi." Lagoona greeted. "Hey." Gil greeted. Abby walked over with a smile. "What you want?" Abby asked. "Our originals." Gil replied and Abby nodded as she walked away to make their orders.

  Lynda and Marvin were looking in thw woods and they had split up. Gilbert found her and ran up to her. "Hey " Gilbert greeted. "Hi." Lynda greeted. "What are you doing here?" Lynda asked. "I wanted to talk to you." Gilbert stated. "But we have a missing person to find." Lynda stated as she started walking again and Gilbert walked with her. "Did you tell her?" Lynda asked. Gilbert didn't tell her, but he couldn't tell Lynda that. "Yeah, I told her." Gilbert replied. "How did it go?" Lynda asked. "She was upset, but not angry." Gilbert replied and Lynda nodded. "I want to be with you." Gilbert stated. He stopped and made Lynda stop too. There was a moment of silence. "I want to be with you too." Lynda agreed. Lynda and Gilbert kissed. "I have to find...." Lynda started but then she saw a car crashed into a tree. Lynda ran over to the car and Gilbert followed. Lynda tried to open the car door but it was stuck. Then Gilbert walked over and opened it after a minute. He pulled Gabriella out and held her as she was unconscious. They ran to the hospital as fast as they could.
Willow ran into the waiting room. "Is she okay?" Willow asked. "She's pretty banged up, but it looks like she'll be just fine." Lynda replied and Willow sighed in relief. Rachel, the doctor, walked out of the room. "How is she?" Willow asked. "She's pretty banged up and she had a concussion." Rachel replied. Willow gasped and tears appeared in her eyes. "Don't worry, she'll be okay. She's still not awake, but this isn't a coma. She'll have to stay a couple of nights so we can run some more test." Rachel explained and Willow nodded and then Rachel walked off. "Thanks, for helping." Willow stated. "Of course." Lynda stated with a smile and gave her a quick hug. "What were you guys doing together?" Willow asked. Lynda was about to speak and tell her their new relationship when Gilbert cut in. "We ran into each other." Gilbert replied. Lynda gave him a weird look and Willow nodded. Rachel walked back over. "You may see her now." Rachel stated and Willow walked in.

Flashback!
       Whisp was done with the dishes and walked back to the couch where Gigi was, but she's not now. "Gigi!" Whisp called. But there was no answer. "Gigi?" Whisp asked. Whisp saw a piece of paper folded up on the couch. She picked it up and unfolded it. "Gigi is now gone, with me. You don't think you know me, but not everything you think is what you know. They say twins have the same heart and soul, is that true? Remember one thing, your home is where your heart is, and sometimes.... Your home and heart are the same thing." Whisp read and she gasped. She felt a few tears run down her cheeks as she got worried.

Real World!
    Lynda turned to Gilbert. "What was that?" Lynda asked. "What was what?" Gilbert asked trying to hide it. "That! I thought you left your Fiancé and told her the truth so we can be together?" Lynda asked. Gilbert sighed and gave a guilty loom. Lynda gasped. Her eyes watered and she felt like someone punched her in the heart. "You never told her and you never left her." Lynda stated. "No." Gilbert stated. A tear escaped Lynda's eye and Gilbert held back tears. "I'm so sorry." Gilbert apologized. "I am too. I'm sorry that I ever trusted you or liked you." Lynda stated and walked off with tears coming out.
