(OLD) Corruption - The Loud House

Chapter Eight - Final Breaths

Luan started laughing, laughing louder than she ever has before, crazier than she ever has before. There were footsteps coming up the stairs, causing Luna to look up and gasp.

Her parents were standing there, looking all around the bedroom in horror, and at Luan, who was still laughing. "Luan?!? Did you do all of this?" Her parents shouted. "Answer us!"

Luan had tears streaming down her face as she laughed, and her laughs slowly turned into cries. At this moment, Luna gasped. She never expected Luan to actually cry after everything that had happened, but she was there, crying as loudly as she could, her voice starting to break.

Luna knew why she was crying.

After everything Luan has been through in life, she's kept it all in until she broke. She couldn't control herself when she murdered Luna or the rest of her siblings. Luan's always wanted to take herself away from everyone, not take everyone away from herself.

"I-I didn't mean to! I-I just want them back! Please! Give them back to me!" Luan wailed. Her parents picked up the phone and were about to call the police when Luna interrupted them. "Guys wait, it really isn't Luan's fault." The parents looked up at Luna's ghost and gasped. "Luna?"

She just smiled a small bit but went back on subject. "It wasn't her fault she became this way, it's ours for not realizing the way she actually felt, which causes us to not care and for her to slowly loose herself," she said. " it's my turn to fix this, I'm going to take Luan to before this all happened."

Luna looked down at Luan and hugged her tightly, causing the room around them to sparkle. Then the room started to become distorted and then they were in darkness. "Luan, listen to me," Luna said. "You're going back in time right now, and whenever you're back home, only you will be able to remember what happened. It's your decision what to do once you're back, just don't make the same mistake again."

Luan just nodded sadly. "Alright, ghost Luna, I understand." Luna nodded in reply and then disappeared. Luan curled into a ball as she was teleported back in time before the prank had ever happened.

Luan sighed and thought about what Luna had said to her. It was up to her now, and she knew what she wanted to do. She grabbed a pen and piece of paper from her shelf and wrote a small letter. Once she was done, she set it on her pillow and grabbed the mixture she used for the failing prank and sighed. This stuff was supposed to be harmless, although due to it being made of chemicals, it was really deadly when it was swallowed.

She put the mixture bowl up to her mouth and started to drink it, and she didn't stop until it was all done. For a few moments, there was nothing, but then, there were hiccups. She started hiccuping more and more and eventually started coughing. While she was coughing, Luna walked into the bedroom and saw Luan gasping for air.

"Luan!" She screamed, running up to her. "What's the matter?!?"

She soon started wheezing as well as cough, and her body became weaker and weaker. Luna was trying to help her, although she couldn't exactly do anything. "Luan! Please!" Then, after enough wheezing and coughing, Luan stopped and became motionless on her bed.

"Luan? Luan?!? LUAN PLEASE ANSWER ME!" Luna screamed as she kept on shaking her body. "Please, Luan, you can't leave us! Luan!" Luna started smacking Luan's face in a little bit of hope that it would wake her up, but it didn't work.

Luna burst into tears. She just watched one of her younger siblings do something she never thought anyone would do. Although everyone else must've heard what happened, because they were watching Luna cry, although they didn't know what for. "What happened in here, Luna, why are you crying?" Her mom, Rita asked. "L-Luan just, she just -"

Luna burst into tears once again, and then Rita saw why Luna was crying. Luan's body was pale and was lying on the bed in an unnatural position. Her eyes were closed and her mouth was hanging open a little bit, but she looked peaceful and at ease. Then she saw the note on the bed, which she read.

Dear everyone reading this,
I'm sorry for all the things I've done in the past, from pranking you all to telling terrible jokes, I apologize.

Now I've made up my mind on what I had to do in order to help myself and everyone around me. Don't put the blame on yourselves, this isn't you're fault, it's mine for being a terrible daughter and someone uncontrollable. I'll miss and love you all.

Sincerely, Luan.

Everyone then burst into tears at that moment. The sister they got annoyed with the most had just offed herself, and now they regret everything they've ever done.

Although Luna's ghost from the future was watching the whole situation. She wasn't expecting Luan to choose this choice, but she did anyway. She looked down at herself as she started to fade away due to the change in the past.

"I don't understand you sometimes, Luan, but whatever makes you happy."

(A/N) And that is the end! What did you guys think? I know, it was sad, but that was my goal for this story. I'm thinking about making a series of Loud House books next, how does that sound? Don't worry, I'll let you know when the books are up.

Anyway, thank you all so much for reading this story, and I really hope you enjoyed! I love all of you for sticking with the story despite it being a bit weird. Have a great day! ❤
