The last test was suspected to be the ultimate proof if she was immune or not. he was known as SCP-049 or the plague doctor. Shadow was taken down an elevator and lead through many tunnels till they reached a corridor filled with medical supplies. 


Shadow was ushered into a room with a surgery table and lots of medical tools, in the left area of the room stood a cloaked figure. He turned when the door closed and Shadow could see him now, it looked like he wore a traditional plague doctor outfit.


"Oh, why are you here sweet girl?"


Shadow shudder at his ghostly voice.


"I-I'm here to see if I'm immune to you, whatever that means in this situation."


The doctor raised a hand to his chin, or what Shadow thought was his chin, in thought.


"I think they are referring to my cure young one."


Ever since she had been used to help them the guards have been telling her a lot about the other SCP's so she is a bit more prepared. one of the things they told her was about 049's supposed cure and what it did to the other members. 


Now she understood what they meant when they said this was her ultimate test. In the other tests, it was simple hostile entities not being hostile or something's normal function won't work. This was different, it was an infection inflicted by an entity, now Shadow was really frightened.


"I think you are right but I'm not sure I can go through with this test."


The doctor remains still as Shadow began to back up a bit.


"I fear you don't have much of a choice child. I normally only use my cure on those with the sickness but if this is what the doctor ordered."


Slowly 049 began to advance, extending his right hand as he moved. Shadow was about to run but stopped and faced the man. There was no use in running and all the other tests have proved she was immune. She will not run from him and instead, she will put faith in her body, she will be ok. Shadow kept her eyes trained on his mask as he grew only inches from her neck, you could see her shaking.


"Do not fear child, I'm going to heal you."


And with that he had her neck, he applied little pressure but his touch burned a little. They stayed frozen for what felt like hours before he let go and stepped back. Shadow's eyes shot open and she looked at him in panic.


"Am, am I ok?"


Shadow could feel his gentle smile under his mask and she couldn't help but jump and fist pump in victory.
