No one's pov:

Both scp's were traveling around the hallways, to find the beginning of the heavy containment zone.
On their way, they managed to get a little closer. The mask and the girl were talking about different interests, and how they both amazed their homeland, Italy.

As the time past by, they found theirselves near a checkpoint.

"Hey, I think we're near the checkpoint. Maybe there will be some MTF units we could kill.. We would even have some weapons and some bandages!" The girl got the mask's attention.

"I don't know if I would have any energy left to get my tentacles out.. It would be really risky.."

"That wouldn't be the slightest problem.. I have a tail, you saw how the doctor died, they will die too.." She glanced at him.

"I'm just worried about you.. If they would shoot you, you would fall and there would be no way back. I couldn't get my tentacles out if I have no host.. Please don't try to fight them, Cherry.."
He took her hands in his and began to look her in the eyes.

She got a little red and her pupils got bigger.

"..Ok, I let it be."

Before they could do anything else, they heard a familiar voice.

"Oh my.., you both thought I could die that easily..."

The pair of two stared behind to greet the doctor, with his arm stretching for the girl.

She immediately stepped away and tried to protect herself.

"Stop resisting!"

She felt pure anger..
No fear or sadness anymore.

She looked behind with an angry stare and stabbed him with her spiked tails/tentacles that came out from the walls.

The plague doctor tried to release himself with a painful hiss.

"Stop resisting.." She glanced him in the eyes, as she repeated the words that he had said.
She let him drop and glanced at her friend, that had now, no host. Scp-035 was laying on the ground.

She grabbed him gently and quickly ran away.
She saw the nearest door and opened it, hiding herself in the room.
She placed her friend on to a small table.

"I don't know if you can talk without a host, but I can't do that alone..! What if some other dangerous scp's would come?.." She began to worry and stared paranoid at the door.

She couldn't hear her friend talking.
Now she knew the answer..
He couldn't talk without a host. Good to know..
She decided to walk all the way back to the elevator.
She had to find the mannequin.
She was sure there would be at least one or a dead body.
She grabbed her friend gently again and walked to the elevator silently, not daring to speak a word.

Every step she made was a step closer to danger.
She had no clue where she was wandering to.
She slowly followed the halls, not caring what would wait for her behind the doors.
Silently, she muttered something to herself as she opened the next door. She smiled, as she saw a room with two elevators. She stepped in into the room carefully and pressed the elevator button.
As the elector was up, she walked in and pressed the button to go down.
A slight panic filled her as the doors opened and the pitch black halls appeared.
She heard nothing but the slight clatter from the gates that blocked every other aisle.

She took a deep breath and silently made herself towards some open gates. To her luck, all gates were open. But was that a bad sign..?-Well,  she didn't know. She kept on looking for a small storage room, till she heard a loud growl.
She froze. Was this the end? Was the Monster coming? Did it saw her? All those questions ran through her mind..
Oh how glad she would've been if her friend would be able to talk..
She quickly searched for a hiding spot, as she managed to find a door. She opened it and ran trough. She closed the door behind her and now saw another elevator.

"I came here for the mannequin.." she sighed and whispered to herself.
"No.. I will keep on going. I'll do it for you.." she glanced at the mask she was holding.

In the meanwhile, scp-035 was filled with panic, anger and sadness. Since he couldn't do anything else but be quiet, his face expression changed to tragedy. A sign for the girl. That was the only thing he could do, trying to get her attention and praying that she would notice him. Hopefully she would be able to see the tragedy he wore..

The girl sneaked around quietly. Scp-682 had surely escaped from his chamber. The last thing the mask wanted was for the girl to encounter Scp-682. He would not hesitate to kill her.
The Mask wanted to speak to her so badly. He had to help her now. She had no idea what scp-682 was able to do- and how deadly this whole situation could end. The doctor was enough, but scp-682 was the biggest problem.
Both had no idea where the giant creature could be.
Obviously it was impossible to not see it.

After awhile, the girl had find a room.
She stepped inside and luckily found a mannequin. She immediately put the mask on to the face of the mannequin. Soon, she could talk to her friend again.
"Oh great! Thank you so much.." Scp-035 talked in his manipulating voice.

The girl gave him a hug.
"No problem..-" she yawned. "..I really have to rest."

"After we get away from here. Scp-682 is probably about to breach, we have to go."
The mask again talked.

"Alright."

Both walked back to the elevator silently, not even thinking about saying anything.
Just as they were about to step inside the elevator, they heard a loud growl.
The girl winced.
Her friend took her in his arms and pressed the button to go up.

"Don't be scared.. This thing wouldn't make it to break out now. It's too early, and the personell are trying their best to let it stay in there. Trust me.."
He slowly let his chin rest on her head.

Silently she responded.
"..I want to go home..."
He looked down at her, confused of what she had just said. Home? She worked here for about a year.. She doesn't have a home anymore, now does she?

"Home..?" He asked confused, as the girl looked up at him, with a tired face.

"..Yea. Just Home.. I want to get out of here."
She didn't let her hands off of her friend, as he held his hand on her chin.
"You wouldn't mind if I would come with you?" He talked in a calm voice.

"..I wouldn't. But what if we would never make it out of here?" She was overthinking the situation. Of course the mask noticed.
"Don't worry. You have no need to overthink everything. I'll get us out of here.. I promise.."
He whispered the last sentence with a soft voice.

"..I would never make it out of here without you—"
She had soft tears in her eyes, as her nose got a little red. She held her hand on the mask's cheek. The pain in her eyes made the mask worry..
He wiped away her tears, till he noticed that they were both standing in front of the open door, for at least 3 minutes.
"..Cherry, we have to go or else we won't make it in time..—"

"Wait..- I don't want to go down there again, or search another dead body.. Please promise me you won't loose your energy.."

"I can't promise anything.. But I will try.."
Both were just standing there, glancing each other in the eyes.
"Promise me.. you won't leave.."
Again, tears built up in her eyes. Now, recognizable that she was fearing to be alone, the mask had to calm her down, and get her trust..

"..I promise you. I will never leave you alone.."
She sobbed and began to wipe away the tears.
"It's alright! We'll get out of here together.." He tried to cheer her up and took her in his arms again.
Letting her rest on his shoulder, she immediately calmed down a little.

Scp-035's pov:
I felt it. I felt the love..
She was the one I wanted to be with for ever.
She was the person I wanted to escape with..
I wanted her to be happy.. How badly I wanted to tell her the truth, but couldn't. It would ruin everything, and then, I would have no one left but myself..
All the time I was alone.., I had enough of it.
I wanted to see the world again..- but not alone.
I wanted her to be there when I recognize memories.. I wanted her to be there when I need her. I wanted her.. to be there if I don't know which way to go. She made me wanting to escape, she gave me the motivation..

I glanced at her, after my thoughts.
"..Are you alright?" She asked me.

"Don't worry about me.. I just had some.. thoughts.."

She could hear the sadness in my voice.
I did know, that she made me happy. All my thoughts were just about her. But all were good? Now why did it made me sad? Something kept me back from showing love, even if I wanted to tell her so badly, how important she is to me.. How much I love her..
My face expression went to tragedy.
"..Can I help you..? Please. I don't want to feel stupid.. You always help me, and I can't.. I want to help you.." She carefully asked.

"..I can't tell you... Not now.."
"Just tell me if you're ready. I'll always know how to help..!" She tried to cheer me up.

"I know.." I hugged her softly.

Y/n pov:

I hugged him, as he also did. Suddenly,
I felt a terrible pain. Not a physical, but a mental pain. I just wanted to cry .., cry until time passes .. Something deep inside of me had a problem ..- No ..- I had a problem .. But which one? ..
Did I feared to loose him? Of course I was..
He was the only one I could trust. The only one... I could.. love.

I was too afraid to tell, but I wanted..
It killed me seeing him like this. Seeing him not wanting to tell me his problem..
I wanted to know what he was thinking of.
I wanted to let him know that he could trust me.
But it wouldn't work..
It would never, now would it?..
He was a monster after all.
And I? I wasn't even a normal human.. Not anymore.
If there just was a place for people like me..
I kept thinking of it, as I couldn't hear the things around me.

"y/n? Are you fine?.. I think you need a rest now. I will search a room, just sleep in my arms for now.."

I felt him carrying me around carefully.
I was too tired to say anything..
Love sucked..
I was never the person for this kind of stuff. I liked talking about it, I also understood a lot. But I just couldn't handle feeling it..
The feeling 'love' was a dream of almost everybody.
But for me, it was a nightmare.
I couldn't handle all of this, even now.
I didn't know if the person I loved, would love me back. I could get hurt so badly...
Just a few harmless words could hurt me so much.
It was a game of trust.
I wanted to cry.
I wanted to escape..
I wanted to tell..
I wanted to go home..
I just wanted to live a normal life..
Why have I agreed to this job? It was the worst decision I have ever made.
But now, I'm stuck. And there's no way back.
I had to deal with the fact that the time won't hold on for me. Time would pass by quickly.., and faster than I could even open my eyes.
I opened them, to see a familiar face.
I blushed.

"Oh you're awake! You haven't even slept for 10 minutes. Are you sure you're fully awake?"
I looked at him confused, but remembered.
"O-Oh.. No.. I have a strong headache.."

"That's fine. Just rest a Little longer.. I can wait."

I couldn't even nod. I immediately closed my eyes and zoned out again.
I was trapped in my thoughts again.
What would happen if I would tell him? Would he be mad? Would he just walk away and never return? Would he try to kill me? Would he.. leave me alone..? Sadness filled me.
I was just a helpless person.
Well not a person anymore. I could even call myself a monster...
I almost murdered his old friend..
I would.. do anything for him..
No.. That's impossible.. I couldn't let that happen.
Not again. I loved helping.. But I always forget myself. I loose myself and try to safe the person's life. But in that time, I am torturing myself with emotions I don't want to feel..
I am helpless..
No one can understand me.
And no one will ever..
Why was I even a psychologist? It was such a stupid idea. I made people murder themselves because I couldn't handle their stories anymore. I couldn't handle their negativity..All of this made me go insane. I wanted it all to end..! The only way to get rid of all, was to let them disappear...
But little did I know, the regret would ruin my life.
Now I was at the point, of understanding.
I was ashamed..
No one deserved to die.
Life could be so beautiful. Even without the people around us. Life could be amazing..
But was I just too blind? I was.
I couldn't see the positivity in any way. I had no idea how to get there. I could never. I was never able to.. Nothing made me more happy than the feeling of trust.
Trusting someone was a dream.. But also very risky..

I was too scared to love, to trust and to forgive myself.

I just wanted the truth..
I wanted to know what he felt.
Would it finally end my thoughts?
My pain?
My time..?
I wanted to know, no matter what it would cost.

I was too curious.
But I wanted something to change the whole situation.

I woke up.
I felt a soft tear falling down my cheek.
I sat up and rubbed my eyes, still feeling the sadness.
I glanced around as my vision got more clear.
He wasn't there.
He left me.
He wanted me to suffer..
I couldn't believe it.
Was I overthinking?
Was i wrong?
I didn't really know.
But I felt miserable.
I cried silently, as I ignored anything going on.
I didn't heard anything but my sobbing.
"Cherry? Wake up! We have to move on..!" I heard a familiar voice..
But there was no one..
But soon, I opened my eyes.
He was there.
He wiped my tears away softly.

I also did, as my vision was still blurry.

"..I-.. You're here.. weren't you gone..? Haven't you left me..?"

"What are you talking about?..- I think you had a nightmare. I would never leave you, I promise.." He slowly put his hands on my cheeks, letting me glance up to face him.
He got closer, making me blush and my stomach twist silently.

Suddenly, I felt him kissing me.
I closed my eyes softly, kissing him back, and letting my hands on his cheeks.
Everything went so fast..
I didn't need an answer now.
All my questions were solved.
All my problems and worries..
My fear faded away..
I only felt trust.
Only love.
Only comfort..

Hello birdies..!
I know, I know :(..
Many of your are probably mad.
I'll tell you why I think so.
I'm sure many of you have waited too long for another chapter. Since the corona virus has arrived in Germany a long time ago, the schools got canceled and now I'm home. I have so much to do. I have to study a lot and finish a lot of homework.
We get our tasks by email. And it takes a very long time to finish them, since there's a lot of them.
Honestly I would even say I miss school. I feel really ill lately. Not sick, just very tired and exhausted. I can't really tell. Maybe it's because of boredom. I will get to the end now. I have less motivation on writing my stories. This means I won't make it to upload much chapters. Since I know the next chapter will take some time, I decided to make this chapter a little longer.
I hope you like the chapter, and I'm so sorry for not uploading :( Thanks for reading, and also thank you for being patience!
