Red lights flashed, staining the white walls red. An alarm blared throughout the complex. James stood in the center of a large corridor. On each side of him were thick steel doors with numbers displayed on them.
James tried to read the numbers, but they became blurred as he did so. He started to walk down the corridor. Echos of people voices screamed down from the end of the hallway. Gunfire erupted, and the speaker above his head crackled to life, "containment breach in progress, I repeat containment breach in progress..." it echoed through the large white halls.
James started to run. As he did, he noticed soldiers dawned in white and black military gear laying on the ground, blood pooled on the floor. James continued to run, leaving bloody shoe prints behind him and kicking up bullet casings along the way.
"Please! No! Ahhh!" The sound of blood gurgled out of a soldiers mouth.
The body dropped to the floor with a thud. James stopped, in front of him was Malo. She turned her head back towards him, then started running away from him.
James pursued her. She turned the corner. He turned the same corner and saw she had disappeared.
James slowed his running as he looked around. He saw he was now in a forest filled with tall pine trees.
Something loud sounded in the distance and was followed up by the sound of splitting wood next to him.
Bullets rained across the forest, burying themselves in the trees.
"Where is it?" He heard soldiers yell.
James took cover behind a tree and saw Malo in her old orange jumpsuit doing the same. She looked down at her paws wet with blood.
"Ssshe lied about her essscape. Ssshe was chased. Why would ssshe lie?" James heard a raspy voice speak into his ear, "Because ssshe killed! Murderer! Lier! Monster..." the voice hissed.
Malo quickly looked up, her eyes widened, and she gasped. She had disappeared out of thin air.
James was left in the forest as soldiers covered the area, passing him by, "We have lost contact with SCP-1471-A," a soldier talked into his radio, standing right next to James.
James blinked and opened his eyes to see his own eyelids closed. He opened his eyes again, white light flooded the room.
"Another dream, that voice," he mumbled, the bright light subsided.
James looked around his room, Malo wasn't there. He got up with a stretch and walked sleepily downstairs.
He could smell bacon cooking and walked into the kitchen to find Malo making breakfast.
"Good morning, James," Malo was still wearing the white bathrobe.
"Good morning, Malo. You're up early, aren't you?"
"Just thought I'd make breakfast for you so you could sleep longer."
"Sleep longer?"
"You have your classes today, don't you?"
"Oh shit it's Monday!" The drowsiness suddenly disappeared.
Malo laughed, "you forgot?"
"I did, completely," James sat down at the kitchen island.
"Well, here you are, eat up, you have to get going soon," she placed a plate in front of him.
"Thank you."
"Hey James," Malo sat down next to him, "I was wondering if I could come to class with you?"
"What?" James turned to look at her, confused.
