TW: abuse mentions, blood 

____________________

As Clay fell to the floor, unconscious, Amber wasn't the first one to reach him. The girl, Lizzy, was the first one there. The three didn't say much, but just brought him back to his room.

[lmao i can only think rn about how their just dragging his unconscious ass across the hallway and everyones just staring]

Arriving there, they placed Clay on his bed as Nick and George watched Lizzy stand beside the other two females, staring back at the two boys.

George didn't recognize her, but Nick did. When he was younger, he lived in the same neighbourhood as her. He saw her sometimes playing outside in the field across their house, with her older brother. A few weeks before he was taken to his first site, he started to notice that her brother never really came out anymore.

He always thought that he just lost interest, due to him being like around the age of 15, and she was 10. In his first site he was in, he met her brother. Over-time he forgot what the little girl looked like, but her brother always helped him remember.

When he saw the girl again, he realised that all along her older brother was Clay.

''Lizzy?'' He asked out, shocking her.

''How do you my name?'' She said, looking at him with her eyes filled with confusion.

''I lived in your neighbourhood, I always saw you outside with your brother.''

''He.. told you about me?''

''Oh hell yes, it was all he could ever talk about.'' Nick said, exhaling loudly as he remembered all those conversations about her. Lizzy looked back at Clay, who was yet to wake up but now had George laying with him as Puffy and Amber left the room silently.

Lizzy noticed the rings the two were wearing, and recognized that it's the type of ring you wear when you're married. To her, it was always obvious that Clay wasn't like his parents. That he wasn't destined to marry a woman, but a sweet loving boy.

''He married him? The always sleeping one?'' She asked, as she looked back up at Nick.

Nick looked at her, wondering how she knew that a big portion of George's day was spent sleeping in Clay's arms. Lizzy's answer was only a nod.

Nick and Lizzy spend the rest of the time waiting for the other two to wake up again, while they share stories. Either embarrassing themselves, or their friends. Two hours later, the two finally woke up. Well, George woke up to Clay's sudden movement.

Clay and Lizzy shared a look, before George got out of the way for their sibling reunion. As the two were having their own little heartfelt hug, the other two left the room. After Lizzy pulled away from her brother there was only one thing he wanted to ask, so he did.

''Liz, what happened to you?'' He asked, as referred to the slight scar that was placed over her head. It wasn't an obvious scar, but from close up it was clear there was something there. He also didn't even begin about the fact that he could feel that she too wasn't a human like their mother.

Lizzy sighed, looking away from her brother before she started telling her story.

____________

''Mommy, let me go! They're taking bubba! Mommy please!'' She begged, desperately trying to get out of her mothers grasp, as the men in the lab coats closed the door of the armoured van containing her brother.

Her mother, face turned away from the van, started crying uncontrollably when the van finally took off while taking her only son away from her. As her daughter fell asleep in her arms, hiccuping from the crying, she carried her upstairs and into her bed. After doing so, she started clearing up Clay's side of the room. Taking the sheets of his bed, putting his toys away and taking down his drawings.

Finally reaching his photos he kept on his bedside, she broke down. She didn't want to leave him, not like that. But it wasn't up to her what happened and what didn't, it was up to her husband. Puffy had both of the children with another person, due to her husband, -----, being unable to reproduce. Yet, that was a fact ----- wasn't aware of. He found out 12 hours ago, when Clay had first shown signs of not being like either of his parents.

He'd called the SCP HQ, to make sure he'd be taken care of. Lizzy was yet to show signs like that, so she would for that time be safe from those same people.

As Puffy finished, she left to go downstairs. ----- was watching tv, one of the many beers he had drowned already that night in his hand. Watching that stupid tv show, Puffy joined him while reading a book. Puffy always had that when she was reading a book, everything around her would start to un-exist. Normally, a good thing right? Not this night. ----- was calling out for her, but she didn't hear. She didn't even acknowledge it.

She finally realised when he hit one of the empty bottles on the back of her head. Obviously, this making a loud noise, Lizzy was downstairs within seconds with the hopes of her brother being back already.

Yet, she was awaited by the sight of her mothers head bleeding, and her father not even realising that it was as he was yelling at his wife.

This went on for years and years, sometimes even having Lizzy fall victim to the abuse. Puffy made plans with Lizzy to leave him when he was unconscious from the drinking, yet a few hours before that Lizzy too showed signs of being capable of things a human shouldn't be capable of. Her father started calling the HQ again, but Puffy knocked him out.

When the two of them left, they thought there'd be more and more time for the two to get away, yet there wasn't. Normally, it'd be a 12 hour drive for hq to even be near, but they were around the area. Lizzy was the first to notice, pushing her mother into a bush nearby as the same people from that night with her brother came rushing out and taking her too.

As the van drove away again, Puffy had to see her last child get taken away too.

12 hours later, Lizzy was taken out of the van and into a strange looking building. Inside, she was placed in a room filled with multiple other teens. Some of those looked funky, such as one being ridiculously large, she would've bet he was over 7ft. Besides him there was a fox-like girl, and a guy with small wings.

After a little while they were all separated into different container-like rooms and 'loaded' into a truck, while driving off to what they would be calling their home for the rest of their life.

__________

''And then two months later, mom came walking in! She got a job at HQ to try and find us.'' Lizzy smiled, as she finished her story. As the two caught up even more with each other, their mother walked in. She looked slightly guilty, but that was soon wiped off her face when both of her children embraced her into a big hug, finally being a normal and complete family.
