Chapter 3
I woke up early in the morning the next day and ate some of the MRE i had packed when i left home, it tasted okay, but i would have preferred some fish. Then i took on a hoodie and jeans along with some fingerless gloves. When i was done, i along with Bob and the bear left the forest and came to a barren wasteland, we continued walking until we heard sound coming from the other side of a nearby hill, i climbed up and stuck my head right over the hill and saw it. What appeared to be a man of middle eastern descent wearing a long black trenchcoat fending off multiple of what appeared to be attack helicopters and SWAT teams all at once, he seemed unnaturally capable of handling that many men all at once, he swatted their bullets straight out of the air and appeared to take weapons out of thin air to aid him in battle. "That guy, he is anomalous just like me" i whispered to Bob. "You sure my lady?" "he swats their bullets out of thin air!" "they could just be missing him with all of their shots" "but he pulls weapons out of nowhere!" "he could just be hiding them under his coat" Bob said before the man, in one swift motion, pulled out an axe and threw it at a helicopter that crashed instantly and the axe dematerialized. "Okay maybe he is anomalous" Bob said. After the man had killed all of his attackers he slowly kneeled down and collapsed. I traveled towards him. I got a closer look at his body, his muscles were toned and his olive skin was smooth, even if it was covered with bullet holes and his hair was long and dark. I pulled a first aid kit from my bag and tended to his wounds, i was tempted to put my fingers into his wounds, but he was not dead so i refrained from doing it. "Bob! help me lift him unto the Bear" i said, and Bob obliged. We then began walking again trying to find a city i could crash in for a while, when suddenly during the evening, when the sun was about to set, while i was eating some MRE around a campfire, the middle eastern guy stood up and quickly decapitated Bob with a single well aimed kick, the Bear tried to attack him, but he just grabbed its head and smashed its skull against the ground, shattering it instantly. "Wait don't kill me! i patched your wounds!" i yelled out. The man quickly stopped moving and looked over at me, i shivered as i stared into his eyes that were filled with burning determination and sorrow. "Thanks" he replied coldly before turning, his flowing black hair flowing behind him as he turned around and began walking. "Wait! lets team up!" i shouted. "Why?" he asked. "Because you killed my servants and i helped mend your wounds. Besides, i cannot fight myself" "okay fine! you want me to carry you on my shoulders too?!" he replied. "No thanks" i said as we began walking towards a nearby town. I could feel as if we were not alone, but i was probably just crazy. The sun rose up right around the time we arrived in the town we could see from the camping spot. The town was called westville, and was a quiet town, but also quite strange. We walked into a local MCDonald's and ordered some breakfast. "By the way, i never asked your name, what is it?" i asked the tall middle eastern guy. "I don't have one" he replied coldly, "then i will just call you Jamal" i said. "Okay" Jamal replied. While me and Jamal was waiting for the food, i quickly snatched a gun from the pocket of a man that was standing in line without anyone noticing. My claws made for a decent weapon, but they still could not compare to a pistol. I began blushing since i felt bad about stealing something, "is something wrong, miss?" "no" i replied in an awkward tone, luckily the food came and i snatched it and left the building, i am glad i didn't have to spend more time in that conversation. Me and Jamal sat down at a bench and began eating the burgers, i no longer had any money, Jamal absolutely raped my wallet, i was not angry, i reconned a strong guy like him needed lots of food. While we were eating, a guy, looked about 19, wearing classy clothing came over and sat down at the bench. "Sorry if i just barge in." he said in an upper class british voice. He then whispered into my ear, "meet me in that building" and pointed at what looked like an abandoned church of some sort, covered in moss. "I know you are anomalous" he said, i was shocked, then i looked over at him again, but he was already gone without a trace. After me and Jamal were done eating our food we walked into the abandoned and ruined church. We saw him again, the guy in the classy clothing, sitting on top of a moss covered statue of Jesus. "My name is viscount Edmund Blacktinder Bloodwood. "You can take off your hoodie, love. I am anomalous too" he said in a classy voice and i blushed as i pulled the hood down on my hoodie. Revealing my long black hair and cat ears. "What are your names?" he said. "My name is Mary Nightflower and this is Jamal" "what are your capabilities?" "i am a cat human, but i suspect you already knew that" "you would be correct my lady" "and this is Jamal, he has super strength, speed and regeneration along with the ability to pull weapons out of thin air" "i see, so you are the infamous Ab…" Edmund was cut short by Jamal running up and punching him in the stomach "DO NOT CALL ME THAT! IT WAS MY SLAVE NAME! i go by Jamal now." Jamal said in an angry and sad voice that suggested a dark past. "My apologies, Jamal, you are quite well known within the anomalous community, i thought you were a myth for a good while, but then i learned otherwise". "It is not important, what is important is that we are likely being hunted by the SCP foundation" Edmund explained. "The SCP foundation!?" i said in a shocked voice. "Yes love, you know them?" "My dad mentioned once that they are an organization with lots of influence" i said. "very well love, but the important thing is that they are hunting us" "I figured that we escape together, our chances are better that way" "Where do we escape to, Edmund?" "i have some friends i want to meet, but i was captured by the foundation around 2 years ago, i managed to escape by faking my own death, but i fear they have found me before i can return to my accomplices" so what do you say? Mary? Jamal?. "Yes" we both answered.
