The Escape for the Cure

Chapter 2

"Alright, so where do you suppose we go now?" Raven questioned.

"Why don't we try going left?" Olivia suggested.

"Sounds ideal to me," Raven replied.

They walked down the hallway to their left and they were met with three different halls. Straight, left, and right. "This place truly IS a maze..." Raven whispered, a hint of worry in their voice, but it quickly disappeared. 'No, we will get out of here, I am sure of it,'  she thought to herself.

"Which way should we go?" Olivia asked.

Raven looked down each hallway, deciphering which hallway would be best. "Hmmm... perhaps to the right this time. I am sensing something in that direction. It may lead to something that may aid us,"

"Okay," Olivia replied. 

They started to walk down the right path. They had found nothing interesting until they saw a flash of orange and heard someone running. Olivia was curious as to why anyone would try to run away from them. Then she remembered she was with two SCPs whom both had dark appearances and beaked masks.

Raven bolted forwards, in hot pursuit. She smelled something on them that she knew all too well. Her eyes flashed red as she chased the figure.

Olivia and 049 followed closely behind her, trying to find what she sensed. Raven pulls something from her cloak, a syringe filled with a glowing green liquid, and flung it at the figure. It struck the figure in the throat, causing them to stumble and collapse in pain.

Olivia ran to the figure and found that it was a Class-D. She also knew he had the pestilence. Raven huffed as she pulled the syringe out of their neck. The D-Class cried out in pain and tried to get away.

"Do not be afraid, we're not trying to harm you." 049 said as he walked towards the Class-D. The D-Class started to back away from 049 but he quickly touched their neck and the D-Class fell limp. Raven laid their body flat on the floor and scrunched up her face in disgust at the smell.

"My, they have it quite bad, don't you think?" she said, dusting herself off.

"They are in desperate need of the cure. This might take a while." 049 replied

Raven paces the room while 049 works After 049 finished the surgery an SCP-049-2 instance arose. Raven looked it up and down, admiring his work.

"Still got it like back in the day, Doc," she said.

"We should get going," Olivia said suddenly as she heard heavy footsteps rapidly approaching.

Raven whipped her head around at the noise "Good idea," she said.

Seven MTFs were walking down the corridor looking to recontain SCPs.

"You two go ahead, I can handle these freaks..." she said, expanding her wings, ready to lunge. Olivia nodded in acknowledgement and started to sprint the other way with 049 following closely.

'Hopefully, they don't have those special tranqs...' she whispered under her breath. A low growl escaped her beak as the MTFs rounded the corner towards her.

Olivia and 049 heard chaos erupt behind them as Raven attacked. Screams ran out, most cut short as she tore them apart. They rounded a corner when suddenly they were faced with three MTFs. 049 quickly grabbed the necks of the units in front of them and signaled to Olivia to grab some of the bodies. Soon, the chaos behind them grew quiet and Raven ran up to them, huffing and covered with blood.

They walked into an office close by, where 049 began to perform surgery on one of the bodies. Raven sat down in a nearby chair, pulled out a handkerchief and started wiping away the blood. Soon enough, there were four cured ones and 049 was happy. All of the surgeries went exceptionally well. Raven had been taking notes when a huge roar rang out from somewhere within the facility.

"Um, what was that?" Olivia asked nervously.

"Pshh, don't worry," she waved her hand dismissively. "We most likely won't run into him. His roars are coming from the other side of the facility. You'll be fine,"

Olivia gave a worried glance. 

"Besides, if we were to encounter him, I will protect you," Raven smirked with that last part, giving a wink in her direction.

"Well, what are we going to do now?" Olivia asked

"Hmmm... I am not exactly sure..." she said, thinking very hard. "Ah! We could possibly locate a map somewhere in the facility and use it as a guide!"

"Where do you think we could find one?" Olivia asks.

"I believe there is one near my cell, back near where we met," Raven replied.

"Ah okay, let's head towards there." Olivia said but stopped for a second. "Oh, you can lead the way. I may or may not know where we are."

Raven chuckled at this. "You get lost easily, don't you?" she said, taking the lead. "Well then, right this way,"'
