Withered Roses (Yandere!ZombieXReader)

Chapter 5: Too close.

  The three of you walk store to store, finding it all looted. Honey, gone. Air fresheners, also gone.

  Were you the only survivor who knew nothing about breeders and such? Well, then again you were protected for months so of course you didn't have any way of seeing it for yourself...

"Maybe we could check the mall...?" Oscar questions and you frown slightly. "I haven't been to the mall since that day you got ready for your crush." "Oh, heh. I remember that." She smiles. "You came to my job in a suit and we danced." "Yeah. I remember because those assholes gave me a red suit when I asked for black." "I didn't know that!" She giggles and you do the same. "Heh, yeah."

  Alex frowns as he watches you two. "I wish I wasn't so jealous..." He whispers to himself. "Oscar looks like a nice girl..." Alex shakes his head and sighs, closing his eyes. "I just need to focus... Maybe if I focus, I can control it."

  After agreeing to head to the mall and getting there,  Oscar took out all the zombies. Only one caused a problem which was a breeder, but you killed her. 

  "Don't worry, Oscar. I believe you can overcome this." You pat her head and she frowns sadly. "I don't want to be this... I want to be me again..." "I'll fix you someday..." You smile sadly at her. 

  "Alex, check that shop over there." You look at him and point in a direction. He nods and leaves. "So," You look at Oscar who was searching around for anything that could help. "Do zombies decay?" "Oh, of course!" Oscar's eyes widen. "You haven't seen how terrible some zombies look!" "Well yeah, you killed them before I could." You smirk and she smiles, giving two thumbs up. "Yeppers."

  "Why haven't you decayed?" You question suddenly and her smile falls. "I have. It's... Slow, but... I can shape myself to fix it." "Ooh." You gasp and she nods. "It's pretty cool. Alphas don't have an exact form so if I get hurt, I can fix it." "Cool!" 

  "I'm going to go check the store next to this one." "Alright." You watch her leave then go back to searching. "C'mon!" You growl, knocking over big things to look behind them, and you were angry since you found absolutely nothing.

  This day, wasted! Nothing found!

  You angrily kick a little knocked down table. "Dammit!!" You growl but sigh, trying to calm down. "The day isn't over yet, Y/n... Hm?" You look up, hearing a low growling noise.

  You look at the entrance, seeing a zombie. "Oh, I thought Oscar killed you all." You pull out your gun only to realize it wasn't there. "Uh, excuse me?!" You search everywhere on you and the zombie starts to run at you. You quickly dodge it and try to run to the entrance to escape it.

  'If I scream then the others could hear me!' You think in your head, "But then other zombies could hear it too... Ugh, dammit!' You finally make it to the entrance, but the zombie manages to jump on you. "W-wha?!"

  You both tumble to the floor and you scream, holding the zombie back. In a blur, the zombie was off of you and onto the floor, being ripped to pieces. "A-ah?!" You quickly sit up and scoot back, bumping into something causing you to squeak and look up, seeing Oscar. "O-Oscar?! That wasn't you that attacked that zombie?!"

  Oscar looks down at you and helps you up. "No, it wasn't." She says and you try to look back to see who it was, but she covered your eyes. "H-huh?" "It's a gruesome sight, Y/n..." Oscar said, but she really only wanted to cover your eyes so you wouldn't know it was Alex who had saved your life.

  When Oscar left, she saw Alex leaning on the wall with his arm. He looked to be in some sort of pain, which was obvious since he wasn't done changing. He begged Oscar to hide the fact that he was a zombie and Oscar just couldn't say no. Although it was such a dumb idea, she saw the pain in Alex's eyes when he thought of losing you because of something he didn't want to happen in the first place.
