Y/N pov:
This is it huh?.......
After everything I did..... It's now useless......
The scarlet king was gonna squish me like an ant..... I guess this is the end for me......
......
.....
....
...
..
.
Y/N:"ugh..... Where am I....?"
I woke up in a cell....?
I looked around and I was in a jail cell..... How did I get here and why am I here....?
?:"Finally you're awake. I thought that you might have actually died."
Y/N:"huh.....?"
I look towards the direction of the voice, only to be met with an unwelcoming face. A'tivik......
I looked at her coldly. That only made her smirk. I really wish I could bash her head against a wall now.
A'tivik:"I'm sure you're confused about what's going on, so I'll cut to the chase. My father tried to kill you but failed. For some reason even my father can't kill you. However I can't say the same for the other SCPs and those SCP foundation staff, or anyone else in that world honestly."
Hearing that my heart stopped. Are they really dead.....? Did he really win.....?
Y/N:"what about A, A'habbat and the brothers death?"
A'tivik:"A'habbat is in the cell next to you. You can probably still have small chats but I don't think you'll ever see each other's faces ever again. As for A..... She's talking with my father right now, she came with us willingly after hearing that you were captured so she's trying to work out a compromise. And as for the brothers death, they're still at their dimension. Apparently small death and great death are too injured to continue fighting for now and all death is taking care of them."
Y/N:"...."
So this is it huh? Unless A somehow works out a compromise it's over....
......
At this point.....
I guess death wouldn't have been that bad.
A'tivik:"anywho now it's A'ghor's turn to guard you. You better not try anything just because I'm not here."
Y/N:"yeah but A'ghor would be here. Why would I try anything?"
A'tivik:"A'ghor might be my sister but she can be idiotic at times. Her stupidity can also get a bit annoying from time to time."
A'ghor:"hey! What did you just say about me!?"
A'tivik:"am I wrong?"
A'ghor.... I didn't even notice her walking down the stairs to the dungeon.
A'ghor's face was bright red either out of embarrassment or anger whereas A'tivik looked calm.
A'ghor:"so what you're saying is that I'm incapable of handling them!?"
A'tivik:"precisely."
A'ghor:"oh, so you think that just because your father's favourite, your 100% perfect!?"
A'tivik:"no, but I am father's favourite for a reason."
A'ghor:"you....!"
They look like they were about to start a fist fight. Or possibly an actual battle over which one of them is superior.
At least, I think that's what would have happened if someone in the cell next to mine, most likely A'habbat didn't wake up.
A'habbat:"my head....."
Looks like I was right. It is A'habbat.
A'tivik:"ah, i see your finally awake sister."
A'ghor:"morning sis~"
A'habbat:"wha..... WHERE AM I AND WHY ARE YOU HERE!?"
I couldn't see her face but judging by her voice, she was pissed.
A'tivik:"well I was just about to leave, so you can ask that to A'ghor and Y/N."
A'habbat:"Y/N....?"
Y/N:"hey A'habbat....."
A'habbat:"oh, i see.... You're in the cell next to me....."
We were silent for a while until A'habbat spoke up.
A'habbat:"what exactly happened....?"
Y/N:"well..... Um-"
A'ghor:"father tried to kill Y/N. But that failed. And of course we also took you as a prisoner. The mortal realm is now completely destroyed and A willingly came with us to try negotiating with father."
A'habbat:"......."
I was hesitant but in the end I realized that I had nothing else to lose.
Y/N:"hey A'ghor and A'habbat....."
They both turned to look at me. A'ghor seemed a bit surprised I called her name.
Y/N:" the scarlet king and A.... You 2 know them better than I do.... So tell me..... Do you think A could actually negotiate something with the scarlet king?...."
That being said, they both paused.
A'ghor is contemplating and A'habbat looks deep in thought.
I was curious, if both of them were thinking this hard.... Then maybe A really did have a chance of turning things around!
A'ghor:"well I guess A would have a small chance of turning things around, considering father and A's history."
Y/N:"history.....? I was just asking about what the scarlet king might want and if A could give it to him....."
A'habbat:"ahh... She didn't tell you did she?"
Y/N:"huh?......"
A'ghor:"as you know, me and the rest of my sisters excluding A'habbat are our father's generals while A wasn't related to us in anyway, she was made into general and given her own army like us."
A'habbat:"yes.... Before she switched over to our side, me and my army had quite the hard time dealing with her."
Y/N:"so.... You're saying she switched sides....?"
A'ghor:"yes although it's a shame.... She was an honorable general, even father was fond of her and how she was able to lead and take charge of her army."
Y/N:"heh..... If that's the case then maybe if I had given A an army then we would have won."
A'ghor looked at me up and down skeptically.
A'ghor:"you better not be planning on trying something. Or else......"
Y/N:"relax..... I'm stuck here anyways. What would I be able to do?"
A'ghor:"I suppose your right. After all....."
She slowly walk over to me, while smirking.
A'ghor:"your stuck here. And while A might be able to negotiate, the chances that she'll be actually be able to work something else is slim."
Damn.... I was really hoping that A would have at least a 50% chance of working something out.....
Whatever. I just need to find a way to get out of here and find the brothers death..... Or literally anyone that can help at this point......
I would go to the foundation but don't think that's an option anymore.....
I hope that A'tivik was just messing with me...... I can't imagine what I'd do if they were dead.....
I just woke up but I'm still pretty exhausted and it doesn't seem like there's anything for me to do here.....
I guess a quick nap wouldn't hurt.....
I drifted off to dream land, only to end up in a nightmare.
It was a completely black abyss.
Everyone that's been with me, excluding Xander, A and A'habbat is now in front of me. All of them were bloody and bruised..... Some were even missing some of their limbs or other body parts.
Johnson:"why did you let us die Y/N.....?"
Y/N:"!?!?!?!?!?"
Dr Gears:"yes, why did you leave us?"
Y/N:"but..... I didn't leave..... And you guys aren't dead..... Right?....."
Dr Bright:"hey, don't get me wrong I wanted to die, but the fact that you just left us to die was so uncool!"
Y/N:"but you guys aren't dead! And I didn't leave you!"
Dr Alto Clef:"heh.... Keep telling yourself that."
SCP 049/Jackson:"yes. There is no denying it Y/N we're dead."
SCP 035/Dyo:"and to think we trusted you...."
SCP 682/Atanti:"at first i thought that humans were the most disgusting things in this world..... But now I think it's specifically you."
SCP 053/Abby:"why did you leave us Y/N?........"
Angela/Angelo:"calm down Abby..... I'm sure Y/N had a good reason....m right Y/N?"
Demonica/demonious:"stop lying to yourself Angela/Angelo! It's clear that she ditched us to save herself!"
SCP 076-2/Able:"YEAH!"
All the SCPs started begging me for an answer, insulting me and some trying to attack me. I dodged the attacks but their insults are starting to break my heart..... I tried my best..... And they already knew that there was a chance that we would fail.....
Suddenly without me noticing 076-2/Able stabbed me from behind. I looked at him. He had a dark grin on his face and his eyes looked even darker than before.....
I opened my eyes. I was..... In a different room?
I looked around. The room I was in was slightly better than the cell I was put in before but it was still pretty bad.....
This time at least it has a bed......
I walked over to the door. The door's locked.
Hmm..... There also aren't any windows or clocks for that matter.
I sat down on the bed and tried to forget about that nightmare I had.
Are they really dead....?
I sat on the bed contemplating this for the next few minutes. I just can't believe that they're dead..... But.... Deep down I know that what they said was true...... I just can't accept it....
I snapped out of it. They can't be dead. There's no way that they died.
Now I shift my focus on escape. I need to get out of here.
I kept trying to come up with a plan but I couldn't think of anything. A'tivik said that A went to negotiate with the scarlet king. Is that why I'm in this room? Did A actually manage to work something out?
The door then opens. The scarlet king walks in.
Y/N:"what are you doing here.....?"
Scarlet king:"who do you think put you in this room?"
Y/N:"..... I don't trust you."
Scarlet king:"you don't have to trust me. You just need to obey me."
Y/N:"d-did A manage to work out an agreement?"
When I said that he stopped and stared at me for a bit.
Then he bursts out laughing.
Scarlet king:"HAHAHAHAHA!"
Y/N:"w-what? What's so funny!?"
Scarlet king:"you really never give up hope do you? Of course we didn't come to an agreement. However I will give you an offer."
Y/N:"m-me?"
Scarlet king:"yes..... I imprisoned A. If you want her to stay alive then you'll do whatever me and my daughters tell you to. No questions asked and no complaints either."
Y/N:"I-I......." (sigh) "Deal......"
Scarlet king:"excellent. We'll spare you today but you better be ready for tomorrow."
He then walks out of the room. Now it looks like I really am on my own.
Y/N:"what did I just get myself into.........."
......
.....
....
...
..
.
A few weeks later...
Y/N:"ow...... It hurts......"
A'zieb:(scoffs)"can't you just take it without complaining! Or do you want me to tell my father and have A killed."
Y/N:"no...."
A'zieb:"good"
Right now, A'zieb is currently beating me up. Apparently she was in a bad mood and she decided to take that anger out on me.
It wasn't uncommon for this to happen. Most of the time the brides and the scarlet king basically use me as a punching bag.
I've also been having the same dreams about the others dying like before...... Sometimes it was them looking like ghosts, asking me why I left them and throwing insults at me. Other times..... I saw how each one of them dies..... What's worse..... I saw each person's deaths and when I see the person's death again, it would show them dying the same way as before.... It makes me wonder if they're actually dead.....
No! There's no way that they're dead Y/N, get a grip on yourself.
A few years later.....
It's been a few years now...... How many years? I don't know..... Sometimes when the scarlet king and the brides aren't in a bad enough mood I'd ask them how long it's been and they'd answer. But their answers would always be pretty vague..... They'd tell me it's been a few years since I agreed to that deal to keep A alive. This entire time I haven't seen anyone else except for the scarlet king, the brides and a few servants around. I only saw A once and I only talked to A'habbat during the first time I got here. Thankfully I haven't seen Xander. If I saw him again I don't think I could resist the urge to punch his lights out.
Most of the time they'd just randomly come to my room and beat me up as for the other times they may use their telepathy to tell me to come to their rooms or wherever they are and beat me there. A few times they'd just make me run a few errands, like cleaning their rooms or a few other places in the palace/castle, maybe they'd make me go around and get them something or someone or maybe they'd make me cook them something to eat if there were no servants around.
Speaking of cooking and food. They don't really feed me that much..... If I'm lucky they'd let me go to the kitchen supervised and let me cook my own food, but that only happens on a few rare accessions. Usually they'd just make a servant go to my room and bring me a bowl of rice.
Other than that there's really not much that I'm allowed to do around here.
Once I didn't complain or do anything wrong for a whole month, so they gave me a book from the library but other than that they didn't give me anything else. I already read that book like 15 times over, so now I'm super bored.
I just..... I just hope that A and A'habbat are ok.....
I still have the same dreams about the others dying like before...... It's been years and everyone has told me that they're dead.... But they can't be dead.... They just can't! Plus the ones that told me that they died are the scarlet king and the brides minus A'habbat. It's only natural for them to tell me that they're dead just to mess with me.
A few hours later......
Ugh..... My legs.....
Apparently the scarlet king just found out that one of his armies failed an important mission. He was enraged..... And since I'm basically his and the brides' rag doll, he took out that anger on me..... He even stabbed my leg left. Since I'm only given a med kit in my room and I'm not allowed to go to the medical site, basically I can only depend on my healing powers, pain killers and bandages to help.
I don't know.....
I don't know how much of this I can take before I breakdown.
3rd person pov:
In the common room of the scarlet palace/kingdom.
A'ghor:"anyone know what father was so mad about? I wanted to get his approval to attack A'habbat's village but he completely ignored me."
A'tivik:"A'distat and her army failed a mission that father gave her. It was a very important mission so I can see why father is so enraged."
A'distat:"hey! No one told us that the enemy army had gas masks! Our plan was to unleash gas that could make a person sick and dying within seconds, of course if no one told us about the gas masks we would have failed!"
A'tivik:"you should have at least come up with a back up plan. If you had one then maybe you wouldn't have failed."
A'nuht:"yup"
A'tellif:"well it wouldn't have guaranteed a victory but I do agree that it would have certainly given you a higher chance of one."
A'zieb:"meh.... Who needs a plan when you could have just gone ahead and attacked them head on?"
A'distat:"you and your children are indestructible, me and my children aren't. There's no way we would have been able to just charge at them head on and win."
As an argument between A'zieb and A'distat erupts, the other brides start talking.
A'tivik:"I wonder when those 2 will stop acting like children."
A'tellif:"probably never"
A'nuht:"agreed"
A'ghor:"I don't think they're acting that immature."
A'tivik:"you're right. They're not. At least compared to you anyways."
A'ghor:"what's that supposed to mean!?"
A'nuht:"oh, gosh......"
A'tellif:"there they go again....."
As A'tivik and A'ghor start fighting, A'nuht and A'tellif just watch, ready to step in to stop them if one of them goes too far but not willing to stop them if they don't do anything stupid.
A'nuht:"sometimes I feel like we're the most reasonable one out of the six of us."
A'tellif:"I'm quite sure we are."
A'nuht:"this is almost as pathetic as the time we executed A."
A'tellif:"ah, yes. Remember how she was on her knees begging us to not kill her?"
A'nuht:"it was hilarious!"
A'tellif:"do you think Y/N will ever find out?"
A'nuht:"I'm not sure. But it would be hilarious if they do. Y/N basically willingly became our slave just to save A. If they found out we already killed A, then I can only imagine the devastation and sadness on her face!"
A'tellif:"they'll most likely go into denial. Just like how we see them denying the SCPs and foundation staff deaths, thru the cameras in their room."
A'nuht:"ha, you're probably right. I'm glad I cast that spell on their room. I wonder how long they'll deny the fact that their friends are dead."
A'tellif:"I'm not sure, most likely going to be a while before they accept the facts. But to be frank that spell you cast that could create illusions in Y/N's mind while they sleep was truly a brilliant idea. Seeing Y/N suffer certainly lightens my mood."
A'nuht:"yup"
Y/N pov:
It's been another few years..... I think? I'm not sure.
All I know is that I need to get out of here. I've now accepted that the others are dead..... Even though I don't want to acknowledge that fact I must accept it. Even if they're still haunting me in my dreams.......
However A is still alive right? That's why I made that deal with the scarlet king, to keep A alive......
I can't escape.... A's life will be at risk.... Plus I don't have a plan nor do I have any one to help me escape.
.......
I'm trapped here forever aren't I?
Ha.... Haha... Hahahahahaha! Hahahaha. Hahaha.... Ha......
........
What's wrong with me? I know I'm doomed to be a slave for the rest of eternity....... yet..... I'm laughing as if everything is ok.
Everything isn't ok.....
I'm not ok.......
