SCP Foundation (Part 7): Beggining of End

Chapter 2

"How much longer.." Abram says, walking through the snowy forest of Canada, already have gone up far North. The two had already been walking for a week or so together through the snow.

"We maybe around half way." She says, going up the snowy forest hill, "Why, tired?" She asks.

Abram laughs, "Not a single bit.. I'm probably younger than you thanks to the fountain, made me younger, although I still need to have another dip into it.." He says.

"Well, maybe we'll go there one day, Site 001 you said? That's where it was, right? So the fountain can still be there." She says.

"Oh that fountain.. it was more a pool. Swam in it, made me get completely naked in front of the entire O5!"

"It must've been pretty embarrassing than!" She says, grabbing up onto a rock, pulling herself up with one arm over the hill.

"It was.. it certainly was. But then.. that bastard- the one who took whe away from me! He was there too, getting the shit beat out of him by James, O5-2. We just watched it happen." Abram climbs the hill, following her footsteps.

"Damn.. sounds like the O5 were certainly cruel. Do you ever just wonder how they would be if they lived in this time?" She asks Abram, stopping and turning to him.

"Noz I don't dwell on that past anymore. I just.. every night I think about her, the person I lost." He says.

"Oh.. I- I just want to say again that I'm sorry about all of that. I should've stayed." She says.

"Well, you're here now right? And- I don't know.. I just want to get there, kill that bastard off. Put his head on a spear, he must be immortal too.. so I'll have him alive as I use his head to kill his own people."

"Jeez, that's a rough way to die- or kill someone don't you think?"

"It's all deserved.. he beat her, mercilessly, killed everyone.. I won't forget that bastard. And his face, it was so damn smug.. he thought he was the shit, so cocky. He kept on smiling, he thought he had control. Maybe he did, but I still would've won against him.. if only I weren't so weak." He punches himself gently.

"Hey, don't best yourself over it. Remember, that's the past. Just think about- about what is now and what we'll do."

Abram stops, "You.. sound just like her." He says.

"What do you mean?"

"Yeah.. she told me something like that before, not to worry about the past, be focused on the present and future. The present is a gift and the future is unknown, she said something along those lines to me.. when I had these bad dreams."

"Bad dreams then? What bad dreams?"

"I don't know if they were dreams, or visions. But they- they made me see these things.. they killed everyone I knew, over and over again in front of me. It was as if it predicted the future, like I knew.. or it knew. I was shackled to chains, unable to escape them as everyone in front of me died." Abram clenches his fist.

"Abram.. you had these visions?" She asks.

"I don't know if they are visions, or some nightmare I was put in. But.. I was- weak. And now I can't let anything like that happen again. Never, again. That won't happen, and I solemnly swear that I'll have O5-13 killed. I'll hang his head on the wall, as pole through the mouth and have him tortured for eternity.. for what he's done!" Abram stomps on the snow.

"These dreams, visions, nightmares.. what happen to them?" She asks.

"I- I.. still have them. They're worse now. Now it's.. everything being gone. The people around me disintegrated into nothing, like they were being erased from existence. And then the ground is erased too, until everything is black, darkness. And I could feel myself being hurt.. impaled by something I can't see, I try to turn.. but the pain gets worse and worse. I yell, nothing comes for me.. no help. I yell and I yell, nothing happens. I could only feel the pain and see the pain of others, all dying as I watch slowly. That's why I fear.. fear death, fear afterlife, fear sleeping. Because every single night since.. since the first days of this event, this thing. All those days I've had this nightmare."
