yep, a second chapter within a week because of creative burnout on my other ones, you love to see it.
I woke up to the breach alarm blaring loudly like a hurricane on a quiet night.
We have a few SCP's here, none of which could really cause much harm if they ever escaped. Meaning what had everyone's panties in a twist?
Angrily I got out of bed at the interruption to my sleep and went towards a console attached to the wall that allowed me to communicate with the rest of the base.
I pushed a button and was greeted to the panicked face of a male scientist with brown hair and blue eyes with a young and panicked voice.
"The hell is going on?" I nearly shouted.
The scientist jumped slightly and grimaced, his eyes twitching at whatever he was looking at. "T- the new SCP we got escaped."
I did see this coming, it could teleport only short distances from what we have gathered so recapture should be easy enough.
Annoyance began to take hold on my character, the blaring alarms starting to hurt my head. "Have re-containment teams already been dispatched?"
"Yes sir-"
"THEN TURN THE BLOODY ALARMS OFF BEFORE I SEND YOU OUT THERE TO RECAPTURE IT MYSELF."
The scientist nearly jumped out of his skin in fright, he started nodding profusely as he pushed some buttons on his own console back in the command center. The sound of the alarms suddenly cut off, giving way to an almost eerie silence with ringing in my ears.
Finally I could think straight and sleep.
I returned to my bed and laid down, the ringing starting to get too much for me to handle. I looked around my room and noted everything in an effort to get the ringing to maybe subside just a bit.
I saw the clothes that I was going to wear tomorrow, my usual white scientist thing I could never name that had my signature imprinted on along with a green t-shirt and black pants.
I saw some pictures I took of when I worked on other SCP's. However the only one I really cared about was the one where I wielded a chainsaw, now I'm banned from having them because 'rules'.
I picked up my amulet, the thing that grants me immortality so long as someone picks it up should the body I currently reside in be destroyed. I harbored mixed feelings for it, on one hand I'm immortal and can be an important figure in this Foundation, on the other I am bound to it forever until the curse is broken, to which it never will be in current standings.
Carefully I took it off and put it on my nightstand, before staring into the white and boring ceiling until I fell asleep.
Wait, I never stopped to ask why the SCP took off in the first place, it seemed to listen to me…
Suddenly I felt something warm on my right arm.
The SCP was hugging it with a happy expression on its face.
I was shocked, how did it get in here? Then I remembered that it could teleport short distances, meaning it must have followed me.
"Did the big mean MTF man do something?" I asked while instinctively reaching for my amulet.
It titled its head in confusion before looking at what I was grasping at. The amulet shook on the stand before floating over to the SCP before I could catch it.
Suddenly my mild amusement and curiosity vanished and turned into shock as I realized that grasping the amulet probably just kill it. Wiping its mind clean of its previous owner like a computer doing a factory reset.
"Don't touch it-"
It caught the cursed amulet before I could finish.
The SCP held it in both hands with a happy sounding purr, it offered it to me, seemingly unaffected by the amulet's curse.
I slowly took it and held it up, wondering what the hell just happened.
It seemed to stare in wonder at the amulet, I offered it back since the SCP seemed to be unaffected by it.
With glee in its eyes, it grasped it and stared into the crystal in the center.
[Cool crystal, it's like my rock.] I heard echo in my head.
My eyes went wide, "Are you talking to me?"
[Weird necklace you got mister- wait, you can hear me now?] a childlike voice said.
"Hang on a second…" I took the amulet back carefully. "Try talking again now that you don't have it."
Its eyes seemed to glow, but nothing came through, all was silent in my head like nothing happened.
I gave it back to which it looked at me, confused. "Try talking again, please."
[Can you hear me now mister?]
"Surprisingly yes, and from my little experiment it appears to be tied to whether you're holding it or not." I said nonchalantly.
It looked around the room slowly before returning its gaze to me. [Mister, what are you?]
"I could ask you the same thing, but to answer your question, I'm a human."
[What's a human?] she asked with their curiosity peaked.
"Depends on who you ask, if you ask me, humans are brilliant but flawed creatures that possess many abilities." Many memories came to mind of some great things humanity has accomplished, with the inevitable bad following close behind. "Now, can you tell me what you are?"
It spun around in a circle like a ballerina with a giggle. [A Ralts, we are attuned with others emotions and can sense their intent, eventually being able to send our own to others.]
I got up off my bed and turned on the lights, my eyes burned slightly as I rubbed them from the sudden brightness. I could see the 'Ralts' fully now, I realized that the white bits on the torso that draped off seemed to be reminiscent of an oversized dress.
"You have psychic powers, correct?" I said whilst getting dressed in my work clothes, I'll deal with the lack of sleep later.
Suddenly my feet were no longer on the ground, but floating in the air like gravity was turned off. I craned my head to see the 'Ralts', its eyes were glowing bright pink with its hand outstretched.
It giggled as I was carefully put back on my feet.
"You could've just told me."
[Sorry mister, but there isn't any fun in that.]
That was true, however it would be terrifying for everyone else who doesn't know… and I already know the first victim.
"Would you mind helping me with something?" I asked with a sly smile on my face.
[Depends on what it is mister.]
"You're just going to make someone float around like you just did for me," I clasped my hands together and rubbed them maliciously. "Except they aren't going to see it coming, it'll be revenge for the alarms not being turned off when they should."
A mischievous smile appeared on the SCP's face, mimicking mine almost perfectly…
I opened the doors to the command center quietly and entered unnoticed.
The command center held about ten people, all doing things that pertain to what commanding or overseeing entails. Minus the guy who was controlling the alarm systems, he wasn't doing anything since I told him to turn the bloody things off.
The guards didn't notice the SCP clutching to my back, I gestured to the person on the chair with a smile growing on my face.
"Just hold him up for a few seconds..." I whispered to it.
Its eyes began to glow bright pink again as it outstretched its arm and slowly raised it upwards. I could tell a smile bigger than my own was present on its face.
Suddenly he was whisked into the air and started yelling incoherently as the guards around him started panicking, causing everyone else in the room to stare at them.
The man was then dropped onto his chair, causing the wheels on the bottom to break as he was sent flat on his back.
It was glorious.
The 'Ralts' teleported back into its enclosure according to my plan, now I could go and sleep soundly and begin the real testing tomorrow. The guards scoured the room for whatever could have done the deed, before someone almost shouted that the SCP was back in its enclosure.
Nobody knows, and nobody will.
"Not even a day we had it and you've already weaponized it, that's a new record Doc." I heard from behind me.
I saw Kanin without his uniform, probably stalking behind us the entire time.
"How'd you follow me?"
"You passed by the barracks as I was going to bed myself, saw something green and white on your back so I decided to follow just in case." he said while fighting back a yawn.
I rolled my eyes as I made for the exit. "I'll see you tomorrow, Captain."
I grasped my cursed amulet in my hands while laying down on my bed one last time. My room was almost pitch black again, if it wasn't for a lamp on my nightstand it would've been. The amulet's crystal glowed slightly in the dark, a dark and almost unseeable purple glow permeated from it. As if to signify that it has my soul inside it, a curse and a blessing.
I put it on my nightstand and let sleep begin to take me away from this world like a thief in the night.
