SCP 1471 [A one of a kind friend.]

XIX

I didn't want to wake up.
I wanted to open my eyes and wake up at home and go to school.

...

-Wake up. -Said a raspy voice nearby.

-Ugh..
-I'm coming, Mom. I answered without thinking.

It took me a second to digest this, but when I opened my eyes I was not in the living room, but in one of the rooms upstairs.

I almost jumped out of the bed when I saw that there was a giant lizard next to me.

-Did something happen? -I asked, hoping that 682 hadn't heard me.

-I need to ask you some questions.
-Besides, humans usually wake up at this hour, don't they?. -It answered.

-What?

I took out my phone from my pocket and turned it on, blinding myself in the process

[8:59 AM]

-It's too early for this...
-Guess i don't have a choice.

I decided to get up before 682 decided to drag me out of bed with its tail.

After washing my face with water in the bathroom, I went down to the kitchen to make breakfast.

It took me a bit of time to get used to it, it was much bigger and more spacious than the kitchen of the apartment I lived in.

There were a lot of cooking utensils in the drawers, most of them i didint even know what they were for.
It took me longer than I'd like to admit to find a kettle to boil water in.

I could feel the penetrating gaze of 682 behind me, watching every action I took.

(It said it wanted to ask some questions, but i guess it's waiting for me to finish.)

I finally finished making myself a cup of coffee.
I usually don't drink black coffee, but since I didint find any milk I'll have to manage.

_____________________________________________

It felt quite strange, being up so early but with nothing to do.
I tried to break the silence by talking to 682.

-So...
-Where do you come from?
-You're not from this world, right?

-That...
-I don't remember.

-But you said I reminded you of home.

-...

(That was the reason I'm here right now.)

-It's...another world.
-I belong to another timeline.
-I'm an anomaly, just like the rest in that hole.

-I understand..
-But... Why were you acting that way against the foundation?
-Your could have asked them for help to go back, or something.

-That... I don't know.
-It was as if my mind was clouded with hate.

-...

-Good morning! -exclaimed a voice behind my back.

-WAH!
-Good morning. -I answered, shortly after leaving my coffee cup on the table.
-Someone is in a good mood.

Mal0 came out from behind me and sat down next to me.
(She was still wearing the old pajamas i had given her almost a week ago..)

-I have never felt so...
-I don't know how to explain it.
-Free?
-Hmmm...No...

-Can I try? -She asked pointing to the cup on the table.

-Go ahead.

She then struggled with the cup, hands shaking trying not to spill any drop.

-OWW!
-Ish hot!
-And bitter! -She exclaimed, sticking out her black, tendril like tongue.

-How can you drink this? -She exclaimed, leaving the cup on the table.

-Out of necessity, I suppose. -I answered, looking away from her tongue.
-...

-You still have to teach me how to make omelettes! -

-What are...
-Omelettes? -Asked 682.

-They are the best thing I've ever tasted!

(More like the only thing you've ever tasted Mal0.)

-Later.
-It's only ten o'clock. -I answered, while taking another sip.

-Aww. -She cried, and lowered her ears like a dog.

I had to force myself not to reach out with my hand and pat her head.
Her fur looked specially soft, considering how much effort i had to put in yesterday.

_____________________________________________

It was a little after half past eleven.
I was looking for the ingredients for omelettes but I had only found a single egg.
I was about to tell them the bad news when I heard the front door open.

-Quentin Burnett! -I heard a male voice shout.

-Y-Yes?

-Your help is needed at the foundation.

-Now?

-Now.

Immediately 682 and Mal0 came out behind me, as if they were bodyguards.

-It's not fair!
-He was about to teach me how to make omelettes!

I heard the soldier suppress his laughter.

-Are you coming or do you want me to drag you out?

-I have no choice... -I answered with a sigh.
