(Halloween Night - 2022)
Clawdeen stood right in front of the veil of secrecy she was with Frankie, Draculara, Cleo, and Lagoona as the five of them waited for the last member of their little girl's night.
“Man, what's taking that cat so long?” Cleo asked with annoyance in her voice. “Oh, come on Cleo cut her some slack Cleo” Clawdeen insisted “yeah especially after everything that happened with her mom” Frankie said and placed their hand on Cleo’s shoulder. Cleo blushed “Fair enough,” Cleo said. “Alright, I'm here” a female voice said. The five girls looked over to see the werecat Toralei approaching them.
“Speak of the devil” Draculara said happily “Yeah i'm here, sorry i'm late I was looking for something” Toralei said. “What was it?” Clawdeen asked curiously and Toralei quickly reached into her pocket and pulled out a small thing of pepper spray. “Why would you need that?” Lagoona asked curiously “Just in case we’re found out.” Toralei explained.
“Well let’s go we don’t want to miss the festival” Clawdeen said with a smile and the others nodded in agreement and the six ghouls walked through the veil of secrecy and entered the forest just outside New Salem, Origan. “Alright ladies let's go have some fun” Clawdeen said and the six of them walked towards the town.
(Meanwhile on the Other Side of Town)
A large, armored truck that resembled something that prisoners would be transported in drove into town. The truck had the acronym S.C.P. written on the side of it.
The truck was being driven by a blond man with pale skin and a muscular build and who was dressed in a military esc tactical outfit. Another man in a similar outfit sat next to him in the passenger seat though this man had short black hair and was missing an eye and had an eyepatch over where his left eye should be and a more thin and less muscular physique.
“I still can’t believe you were able to convince Dr. Gears to give us the day off baby brother.” the blond driver said happily. “Technically I didn’t” the one-eyed man said calmly. “What do you mean Zane?” the blond asked with confusion in his voice.
“Well Isaac I may or may not have told Doctor Gears that an Anomaly was spotted in the area” Zane explained, causing his brother to look over at him. “What…ZANE DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH TROUBLE WE COULD GET IN FOR THIS” Isaac exclaimed.
“Relax brother once we get back, I’ll just tell the Doctor it was a false alarm, and I highly doubt Dr. Bright and Dr. Clef will care” Zane said and Isaac let out a sigh of annoyance. “Ok but if we are found out you're going to be the one taking the fall for this” Isaac said sternly “Eye eye captain” Zane remarked and saluted his older brother. “Now come on, let's find a place to park so we can go to the festival.
(1 Hour Later)
The group of six monster girls walked into the main area of the festival. They saw tons of humans all dressed up in various costumes. There were children dressed as skeletons and ghosts, couples dressed up as things like Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy or Spider Man and Black Cat. ‘So this is a human festival’ Franki thought to herself.
“Alright remember everyone stay in groups of at least two or more” Clawdeen reminded them, and everyone nodded in agreement. “We know” Toralei replied “Yes you reminded us at least 26 times on the way here” Frankie said. “I know it’s just, you can never be too safe, something bad seems to happen everytime we come here.” Clawdeen said and the other nodded in agreement “Fair point” Cleo said and smiled.
“Alright guys let's go see what games they have” Clawdeen said happily, and everyone nodded in agreement and Clawdeen walked away and Draculara, Lagoona, and Toralei followed behind the young werewolf.
Frankie attempted to follow behind the rest of the group however she felt someone grab onto their arm. Frankie turned around and saw Cleo holding onto their arm. “Cleo, do you need something?” Frankie asked curiously. “Well, I figured we could explore on our own…as a couple” Cleo suggested, and Frankie’s blue cheeks turned pink. “Oh, um yes that does sound fun” Frankie said nervously. “Well then let's get going” Cleo said and pulled Frankie after her and pulled on her arm so hard she accidentally loosened it and the two walked off into the crowd.
(Meanwhile With Zane and Isaac)
Zane and Isaac walked through the crowd and the two of them had decided to just wear their MTF uniforms as their Halloween costumes.
“Man, there are a ton of people here” Isaac said as he and his brother walked through the crowd. “Yeah, I know,” Zane said emotionlessly. Isaac looked over at his brother “What do you want to do first?” Isaac asked curiously “I was going to grab a drink really quick” Zane said and looked over at his older brother “But you can do whatever you want” Zane said.
“I'm goanna go play some carnival games” Isaac said happily and ran off “Alright I’ll catch up with you” Zane yelled out as his brother ran away. “Now to find a bar” Zane muttered to himself as he walked forwards.
(Meanwhile With Frankie and Cleo)
Cleo and Frankie were holding hands as they walked down the street. Frankie noticed a ferris wheel in the distance “Hey Cleo, can we go on that human wheel ride” Frankie asked “I bet the view is amazing” Frankie said happily. “Ok but personally I think the view I have right now is pretty good” Cleo said, causing Frankie to look over at her “Really what view is that?” Frankie asked with confusion in her voice.
Cleo smiled and gave them a quick peck on the cheek “You so cute when you're oblivious I’m talking about you” Cleo said happily “Oh” Frankie said and then they processed what their girlfriend said “Ohhhh” Frankie said as a blush appeared on their face. “But first do you mind if I use the little ghoul's room first” Cleo asked, and Frankie nodded in agreement.
The bar was almost completely empty with the only person there being a bartender standing behind the counter.
The two of them walked into a nearby bar. Cleo quickly walked over to the entrance to the girl's room and Frankie sat down at the counter. “Wow kid, we don't serve minors no matter how good your costume is” the bartender said as he cleaned an empty glass. “Oh no I’m not here to order anything I’m just waiting for my girlfriend” Frankie said with a smile.
Before the Bartender could reply, the door to the bar swung open and both looked over at the door and saw a man walk into the bar. The man had short black hair, one blue eye, and eyepatch covering his eye, and was dressed as a soldier. The human walked forwards and sat down next to Frankie. “Hi there, I’m Frankie Pronouns They/Them” Frankie said happily and gave the man an innocent smile. The man looked over at Frankie and looked them up and down “Zane He/Him” The man said and then looked over at the Bartender.
“I’ll have a whisky please” Zane said emotionlessly “ID please” the Bartender said, and Zane pulled out his wallet and flashed the Bartender his ID and the Bartender quickly went off to make him his drink in the back. Zane looked over at Frankie and just stared at them ‘oh dear please don’t find out please don’t find out’ Frankie thought to themselves “Nice costume kid” Zane said and held out his hand. “Oh um…thanks my girlfriend picked it out for me…she's in the bathroom at the moment” Frankie said and raised up their arm, the same arm that had been pulled loose by Cleo earlier that night. The two shook hands but due to their arm being loose the lower half of Frankie’s right arm popped off.
Zane looked down at Frankie’s now detached arm and then looked back up at them. “Would you believe that's a prosthetic?” Frankie asked and chuckled nervously. However, Zane just used their severed arm and smacked them upside the head with it so hard it knocked their head right off their shoulders. Frankie’s head slammed against a wall, and they were left unconscious.
“Oh man I was not expecting your head to come off” Zane said with a bit of surprise as he walked over to Frankie’s head. “Trust me I can be brutal but I'm no Dr. Clef” Zane said and picked up Frankie’s head. He quickly walked over to and reattached Frankie’s head and arm before the Bartender returned. Zane suddenly remembered that Frankie mentioned having a girlfriend in the bathroom.
Zane let out an annoyed sigh “I should probably go grab her to” Zane said with annoyance in her voice. He quickly walked up to the door to the women's bathroom. “Let's make this quick” Zane said and kicked in the door to the women's bathroom and saw Cleo washing her hands in the sink. Cleo looked over at Zane “Wow you can’t just burst in here this is the women's restroom” Cleo said in a panic. “Yeah, sorry about that…and this” Zane said and then in the blink of an eye Zane closed the distance between him and Cleo and then delivered a powerful sucker punch to Cleo’s stomach. Cleo coughed up a bit of blood and then fell to the ground unconscious.
Zane quickly threw Cleo over his soldier and carried her out of the bathroom. “Man, I really wanted that Whisky…but business before pleasure” Zane said and walked over to Frankie and threw them over his other soldier and walked out of the bar and began to make his way back towards he and his brother's truck.
(Meanwhile with Clawdeen, Draculara, Toralei, and Lagoona)
The four girls were all gathered playing bobbing for apples. Clawdeen and Draculara had already played Toralei however chose not to play because water…and she's a cat. Clawdeen had done pretty well and had won a medium sized stuffed wolf which she now held in her hands and Draculaura had won a small stuffed bat which she held in her arms as well. Now Lagoona was playing and was doing better than all her friends by a long shot.
“Man, Lagoona is really good at this,” Draculara whispered. “I imagine this game would be pretty easy when you have gills,” Toralei whispered back and Draculara nodded in agreement.
Suddenly a large human man walked up to them. The man had blond hair, bright blue eyes, and a muscular build. He looked over at the woman running the game “Hey can I go after her” the man asked, and the woman looked over at him. “Of course, sir but it might be a while” the woman said “That's fine I can wait” the man replied.
Clawdeen looked over at the man “Hey you aren't from around here” Clawdeen said. “Oh…yeah me and my little brother just came to town for the festival…he’s about your age actually” the man said with a smile on his face. “The name’s Isaac” the blonde man said and held out his hand “I’m Clawdeen” Clawdeen said happily and shook Isaac’s hand. “And these are my friends Draculara and Toralei…and the one sticking her head into the barrel is Lagoona,” Clawdeen explained.
“Those are…interesting names,” Isaac said and gave them a smile. Suddenly Lagoona pulled her head out of the barrel of water and apples with three apples in her mouth. Lagoona spit the apples in her mouth out onto the ground “I won, I won” Lagoona said happily with a mexican accent. “Congratulations you can choose a large prize” the woman said and Lagoona immediately locked her eyes on a large blue shark stuffed animal. “That one I want, that one please” Lagoona said and pointed at the stuffed shark.
The woman quickly grabbed the shark and handed it to Lagoona who grabbed it out of her hands with a smile on her face. “Thank you,” Lagoona said with a smile.
Suddenly Isaac felt his phone beep. Isaac reached into his pocket and pulled out his cellphone and saw that his little brother had sent him a text. He quickly read it to himself.
“Isaac, I found two humanoid anomalies and brought them back to the van. I went through one of their phones…I think there are at least four more keep an eye out for these kids”
He then got another text, a picture of Frankie and Cleo with Clawdeen, Drakulara, Toralei, and Lagoona. ‘Man, those kids look very familiar’ Isaac thought to himself and then looked over at Clawdeen and her friends. “Hey Clawdeen you live around here right do you know these kids” Isaac asked and showed her the picture his brother sent him. Clawdeen and the other monster girls went silent.
“Aw crap” Toralei said. Isaac looked at the image on his phone then back at Clawdeen and the others. It took him about a minute to realize the painfully obvious. “Wait a minute” Isaac said “You're those anomalies my brother told me to keep an eye out for” Isaac said with a surprised tone in his voice. “Wait what?” The woman running the game said in confusion. “Aw crap” Isaac said and pulled out a small hand pistol and loaded a small red dart with the words ‘class C amnestic’ written on the side of it into his pistol.
Before anyone could react, Isaac shot the woman in the arm with the dart. Clawdeen, Draculara, Toralei, and Lagoona looked over at the woman and then back at Isaac “What did you shoot her with?” Clawdeen yelled. “Relax kid it was just a basic class C amnestic all it will do is make it so she doesn't remember anything from the past I don’t know like 45 minutes” Isaac explained nonchalantly.
“Now then unfortunately for the four of you my job is to bring anomalies like you in” Isaac said. Toralei and Lagoona got ready for a fight. However, Clawdeen wanted to defuse the situation peacefully “Wait Isaac, you seem like a nice guy, and we don’t mean any harm. We just came here to enjoy the festival so why don’t you just let us go…no one has to get hurt. “It doesn't matter if you mean any harm or not, I can’t just let you go” Isaac said. “Why, and who exactly do you work for anyways?” Draculara asked in confusion. Isaac went silent for a moment. “Well, I guess since you're going to find out soon anyways, I might as well tell you” Isaac said.
“Me and my brother work for a group known as the SCP foundation, a secret organization. Our job is to protect normalcy by capture, and contain supernatural and preternatural anomalies, with the full support of every major national government.” Isaac explained.
“Now then we can do this either the easy way or the FUN way.” Isaac said with a smile on his face. Suddenly Toralei charged forwards and attempted to scratch Isaac’s face however he effortlessly dogged out of the way “Fun way it is” Isaac said and pinched the back of Toralei’s neck Toralei let out a soft wine and then fainted and fell face first into the dirt.
“Toralei are you okay?” Clawdeen asked with concern in her voice. “No one hurts my friend” Lagoona exclaimed and rushed forwards and attempted to bite the human.
Isaac quickly raised his hand and Lagoona bit down on Isaac’s arm and began to growl. “Hehe ow” Isaac said and then flailed his arm sending Lagoona flying into a tree and knocking her out cold. “Two down two to go” Isaac said then suddenly Draculaura appeared behind him. “Vicious winds knock this human off his feet” Draculaura exclaimed and suddenly her eyes began to glow pink, and a powerful gust of wind sent Isaac flying. “Wow…a vampire and a witch you really are a jack of all-” Isaac began but was cut off when he crashed into the Bobbing for Apples stand.
Clawdeen and Draculaura hesitantly approached the stand. “Are you okay?” Draculaura asked with concern in her voice. Suddenly Isaac popped back up, holding a glass bottle with a clear liquid inside. “The power of Christ compels you” Isaac exclaimed and smashed the bottle over Draculaura’s head. The bottle shattered and the clear liquid covered Draculaura. Suddenly her skin began to burn “AHHHH IT BURNS, IT BURNS” Draculaura exclaimed in pain as she began to run around in a panic.
Clawdeen looked over at Draculaura with a look of concern on her face and ran over to her bestie. Clawdeen grabbed Draculaura by the shoulders and looked her in the eyes “Draculaura what’s wrong?” Clawdeen asked in a panic. “HOLY WATER, HE COVERED ME IN HOLY WATER!!!” Draculaura said as her skin continued to burn “Where'd he get holy water?” Clawdeen asked in confusion. “I found it in the stand” Isaac yelled “CLAWDEEN HELP IT’S IN MY EYES I CAN’T SEE IT BURNS!!!” Draculaura exclaimed in a panic. “Don’t worry we'll get you home then we can find a doctor to help you” Clawdeen said in a panic.
“Don’t worry I can help” Isaac said but before Clawdeen could say or do anything Isaac picked the back of Clawdeen’s neck. The werewolf girl let out a wine and fainted and collapsed to the ground. “CLAWDEEN I STILL CAN’T SEE ARE YOU STILL HEAR?” Draculaura asked nervously. However, Clawdeen didn’t answer instead she was knocked out by Isaac punching her in the face.
“Man…that was easier than I thought it would be” Isaac said happily as he looked around at the four unconscious teens around him.
(15 Minutes Later - In the Wood Near New Salem)
Zane was waiting outside there SCP foundation issushed anomaly transportation truck. He had already put some handcuffs on Frankie and Cleo and loaded the two of them onto the truck. Now he was just waiting for his brother.
“Oi Zane i’m here” Isaac yelled Zane looked over to see his brother as he emerged from the forest. Isaac was pushing a large red wheelbarrow with the four unconscious teenage anomalies in it. “Where'd you get the wheelbarrow from?” Zane asked curiously “I didn’t want to make multiple trips so I borrowed somones wheelbarrow to carry them all back at once” Isaac explained.
“Well lets get them in the truck, quickly before someone sees us” Zane ordered and his brother nodded in agreement. The two of them quickley put handcuffs on the four girls and loaded there unconscious bodies into the truck. Then Zane noticed three stuffed animals in the wheelbarrow a small bat, a medium sized wolf, and a large shark. “What are these for” Zane asked curiously “Oh the kids won them in one of the games I felt like it would have been a bit rude to just leave them behind to get stolen” Isaac explained as he threw the three stuffed animals into the truck with the girls and shut the door.
Zane let out a sigh “Your to nice for this line of work brother” Zane said as he locked the door to make sure the six anomalis teens couldn’t get out. “Or are you not nice enough” Isaac said as he and his brother walked around to the front of the truck. Zane didn’t respond. The two hopped into the truck with Isaac getting into the drivers seat and Zane sitting down in the passengers seat.
Isaac put the truck in drive and began to drive off.
