Anomalous-The Diary of an SCP

by Amari412

In May of 2009, a young woman gave her life for a junior researcher in the SCP Foundation. Her journal was found and, with the O-5 Council's permission, was published under an anonymous author. This details the last year in the life of Cadence Leah Revan, now classified as SCP 2991-DeC. (Alternate canon to SCP Squad: Origins)

Epilogue- 6 Years Later

Cadence was right.

The journal was in fact found a few days after her death. Supposedly a small funeral was held, but I was unable to attend due to the condition that damn lizard left me in. I still don't know how the hell they were able to have a funeral without a body, and I don't know where they've buried the empty casket. Or hell even if there was one.

Unfortunately, this journal and a few personal items that I managed to salvage, are all that remains of the woman that was once known as SCP 2991. After death, all traces of her existence were destroyed or locked away.

I'm fairly sure you've come to realize who I am and why this journal was published. I was the man she loved, the one she once called "Prince Valiant"…a man who no longer deserves that title. Who probably never truly did.

May this be a warning to all newcomers to the Foundation. DO NOT get attached to these things…period. It will do you no good in the end. All you'll get is pain, and believe it or not, I never want to see anyone experience what I had to go through. You don't need to ask me if it's worth it.

Because it isn't. And I'd never wish it on anyone.

I suppose I should give you an update on what has since happened to Caddy's circle of friends since 2009. So here it goes:

Iris is still in the Foundation, of course. But she's been rather useful and compliant with the Foundation. She's been rather helpful and praise be for that. We don't talk all that much anymore, but whenever I have an issue in dealing with the pain Caddy's death has brought on she's a small comfort.

Derrick O'Reilly is sadly deceased. He died about four years after Caddy, leaving his daughter Carson, who was eight at the time, an orphan. She has since been taken in by the foundation. The Chaos Insurgency raided his home, seeking information about a secret project he was working on. Sadly his son, Lucian O'Reilly, was never found. But rest assured, the girl is in good hands.

Carlisle, SCP 3030, has since been reclassified as a Euclid. He saved the life of an O-5 about three years after Caddy's death. He's been useful in recontaining more dangerous reality warping SCPs, namely 106 and, at times, 682. Iris was successful in getting him to finally talk. For the most part he keeps to himself. Again, we don't talk very often.

Like I said, don't ever get attached to these things. It isn't worth it, and it never will be. I will destroy 682 and avenge Caddy's death. No, this isn't about me. This is about her. It's always been about her. I will end it…if it's the last thing I do. And as for the ones who plotted her death, rest assured you will get what's coming to you.

This is Dr. Cool, O-5 Command, signing out…

Author's note: Ugh it's finally done! Took me long enough, right? So yes, I do have a sequel planned, but it probably won't be posted for a long time. I would like to do a special reading of this story for my YouTube channel. I'll probably start recording here soon. I'd like to turn it into an audio drama, but I can't get actors and stuff together so I'll probably just go ahead and do all the reading myself. Thanks to everyone who's reviewed and followed this. It's been a huge help.
