Emma crawls out of the back window of the car and makes a run for it but first, she makes sure to snack on the agent that died in the crash. She runs home only to find her mother waiting for her in the kitchen with a large knife in her hand.

"Emma, please stop this madness! Dozens of people are dead because of you! Do you not care?!"

"I really don't care mama! Something is wrong with me and I want to know what I am! It's YOUR fault I was born like this!"

Emma moves closer to her mom and her eyes are fixed on the knife.

Mama, please put the knife down so we can talk. That's all I want to do ok? I promise I won't hurt you or anyone else. I need help!"

"Of course sweetheart, of course."

Regina sets the knife on the counter and tells Emma to sit at the kitchen table and starts to tell her everything.

"There is an unknown location for SCP creatures and the people who work there were doing experiments with humans. You have DNA from Jeff the Killer and The Rake. I was told to stay quiet about it for the safety of my entire family and so I did."

"Why didn't you tell me this sooner? Are those people going to get me and take me away?"

"If they do I promise I'll come see you everyday."

Emma sits quietly and thinks about what her mom said and gives her a hug.

"Thanks mama for telling me the truth. If they do come get me, I'll go willingly."

Regina hugs her daughter back and kisses her forehead.

"Everything will be ok sweetie, I promise."

The next day after Emma wakes up, she hears her mother screaming.

"PLEASE! NO! SHE'S JUST A LITTLE GIRL! MY DAUGHTER!!! PLEASE DON'T TAKE HER!"

Emma immediately jumps out of her bed and runs downstairs to check on her mom.

"Mom! Are you hurt? What's going on?"

"They're here to take you away. I'm so sorry sweetie! I tried to stop them but they didn't listen!"

Emma walks down the stairs towards the front door where three unidentified people are standing. They move into the dining room where Regina was preparing breakfast for herself and Emma.

Emma charges down the stairs, towards her mother, protecting her. "DON'T TOUCH MY MOMMY! I'm the one you want!"

The three agents look at each other, not sure what to say or do. One of them says, "It's time to go SCP 626. Or would you rather be called Emma?"

Emma hesitates for a minute before answering them. "Emma. My name is Emma. Can I please have breakfast with my mommy before I leave?"

"Sure." They say at once. Five minutes later, Emma and her mom and eating breakfast then it's time to pack up her stuff.

"Will I ever see you again mama?"

"Of course you will sweetie. I promise to visit you everyday when I can. You'll always be my little girl." Regina hugs Emma tightly and kisses her forehead. "It's time to go."

"I love you mama! See you soon."

"I love you too Emma!"

Regina watches as the men gather Emma's belongings and one holds her hand and walks her to the car. A tear falls from her eye. She knows this won't be goodbye. Emma looks at her mother one last time and waves.
