Withered Roses (Yandere!ZombieXReader)

Chapter 7: The truth.

  While you were in the kitchen eating, Alex pulled Oscar out of the kitchen to talk. "Oscar... I have a question." He says in worry. "What is it?" Oscar questions, eating a slice of pizza with tons of meats on it. 

  "I... Uh..." Alex gulps. "Earlier, I got... Hungry..." He looks at the kitchen entrance, making sure you weren't there. "I-I ate zombies, Oscar..!" He looks at her and she gasps. "Ooh, you're changing fast. It took me at least a week before I ate my first zombie!" She giggles and Alex clenches his fists. "This isn't funny, Oscar! Why are you taking this lightly?!" "Because! Once you're done changing, you can control it better." She shrugs and Alex thinks for a bit. "I can...?" He questions lowly and she nods. "Yep. Believe me, I was just like you. Only difference was, I had to learn this all on my own. Did you happen to encounter any... Breeders though?" Oscar brings up, getting serious.

  Alex thinks a little more. "Two of them, yes..." "You did?!" Oscar gasps. "You're too unstable, did you, ya know...???" She lowers her voice in the end again and Alex frowns. "No, not really... I think I ate them too..." He mumbles and Oscar's eyes only widen more. "You weren't... Effected...? Their smell... On a new alpha, its..." She steps back a little, staring at him in pure confusion and worry.

  "W-was I supposed to try something with them?" He questions, scratching his head in confusion. "Well, you most likely would have lost control..." Oscar mumbles. "But you... Didn't... Unless you already did it??"

  Before Alex could say anything back, he was thrown against the wall with Oscar who had Alex by his throat. "You didn't fuck my best friend, did you?!" She yells in anger and Alex quickly shakes his head. "N-no, Oscar!!"

  You rush out, trying to separate them. "Guys!!"

  Oscar drops Alex, growling lowly as she steps back. Alex gulps, afraid of her. Her eyes had changed back to black. All black, almost like he was staring into a black hole. He thought alpha's eyes were always red, but he thought wrong... So, so wrong.

  "What's going on?!" You glare at them both and Alex gets up, rubbing his neck from the pain. "N-nothing, Y/n." He smiles but you don't believe him, looking at Oscar for the truth. She sighs and calms down, her eyes going back to normal. "He said a trigger word, is all." "Oh." You sigh and punch Alex's shoulder. "Watch yo mouth, boy!" "A-ah, sorry..." Alex rubs his arm, looking at Oscar. "I'm genuinely sorry." He says, knowing she knew what he was really apologizing for.

  Oscar shakes her head. "No, I... I shouldn't have acted out so badly, you didn't know... You don't know anything that's going on..." She mumbles then walks back into the kitchen. You raise a brow in confusion wondering what the conversation had changed to.

  You look back at Alex, seeing he was upset. "Come on, let's go finish eating." You smile and grab his hand, walking back into the kitchen with him.

  Alex was still upset though. He felt hurt. 'Does she really think I'd do it with Y/n like that...? I know the consequences... Then again, she could be right... I could lose control... But I didn't... With the other breeders! So why did she think I was gonna...' Alex stops thinking once he realized. He did try to kiss you in the mall. It was obvious what he wanted to do to you... But why was it only you...?

  Alex gasps, 'Is it because I love her...? I didn't know that could mess with how alphas feel against breeders... I have to tell Oscar!' He frowns and moves your hand away, quick walking to Oscar who was annoyed as she ate. "Oscar..!" He whispers to her and she looks up at him. "What?" "I know why I didn't want the other breeders...!"

  Oscar's annoyed face turned into a curious one. "You do?" "I love her..." 

  Oscar gasps, "Oh my gosh, I didn't even know that could effect it...!" "Neither did I..!"

  You stare at them as they both talked. What were they talking about?? You pout, feeling left out like you were the third wheel. 'Well, this is a new feeling. It's terrible.'

  The lights go out, causing them to quickly stop talking and you to tense up. Not because of the lights, no.

  Because you saw FOUR glowing red eyes and not TWO. And they both just so happened to be where Alex and Oscar were. 

  'What. The. Fuck.'

  You walk around the lab with a flashlight, looking for the lab's electrical panel box. Oscar was by your side but you avoided Alex at all cost.

  Alex and Oscar knew why and Oscar was rather disappointed since you figured out a whole lot sooner, yet she was also relieved. Now you can protect yourself from Alex. Since Alex loved you, he'd want you a lot more.

  You get to it and open it, seeing the main power shut off. "Who the hell did this...? Damn, this reminds me of Welcome to the Game 2..." You mumble and Oscar rolls her eyes. "My little gamer." She giggles and you pout. "Shush." You switch it back on. The three of you hear all the lights go on at once and you sigh in relief. "Well, luckily it wasn't anything major... But now we know something is, for sure, in this lab." "Mhm." Oscar nods, getting serious.

  You glance at Alex seeing him looking down in shame. 

  "Why didn't you tell me?" You suddenly question causing him to tense up and look at you. Alex frowns sadly, seeing hurt in your eyes. "I... I didn't want you to worry." He says truthfully, "And I didn't want you to kick me out and be alone again."

  You sigh and shake your head. "Alex... I... If I would have known, I could have helped you..." You frown sadly. "You were hurt so many times and I... I stood there like an idiot because I didn't know what to do to help!" 

  You feel your eyes burn from the forming tears. "Dammit, you idiot!!" You drop the flashlight and start to cry, covering your face. Alex quickly goes over and hugs you. "Sh... It's ok! I-I'm sorry, ok...?" He says, softly petting your head. "I'm sorry..." He whispers and you calm down, wiping away your tears and hugging back. "You're an idiot..." You grumble and he chuckles. "Awe, don't wanna call me your baka?"

  "ALEX!!" You yell and he quickly lets go and runs away. "D-dammit!!!" You clench your fists tightly and Oscar stares at you, amused at the red face you had.

  'She loves him back, doesn't she...?'

  Oscar frowns sadly, knowing the outcome to this. You'll get hurt if you fall for him... It just can't be... 

  "Come on, let's go back to the bunker..." Oscar sighs and grabs your hand, also picking up the flashlight and turning it off.

  You both head back but stop, hearing a low creak of a door closing. "Alex?" Oscar questions, turning around and looking at the now closed door that was to some old office.

  "Stay here..." Oscar frowns and walks over to the door, opening it. She turns the flashlight back on and shines the light around, seeing it empty. "Huh..." She closes the door then looks at you. "Probably the wind?" "I highly doubt it." You frown and Oscar starts to get nervous.

  She was terrified of anything horror, which is funny because she is the most badass zombie you know. "I-I'm scared..." She mumbles as tears form in her eyes. "No, my precious baby!" You rush over and hug her. "I must protect!"

  She giggles, feeling better. "Y-Y/n..." "Come on, let's hurry back. We can find weapons in the bunker." You grab her hand and start to walk, but the lights power off again causing her to squeak in fear. You frown and grip her hand tighter to comfort her as you take the flashlight and look around. 

  Luckily this place had emergency power otherwise the bunker doors would stay open. Now that would be a problem...

  "Come on..." You whisper to Oscar and start to walk, still looking around the place. 

  Where the hell did Alex go? Where ever he went, you sure hoped he was ok. The exit doors to the lab were all locked and blocked off except for the exit which was only locked so he should be fine, considering he ran to the front of the building. And he's also a damn zombie himself...

  Oscar tenses up, feeling something touch her back. You noticed this because she squeezed the hell out of your poor little hand. "Ow... Ow..!!" You shine the light at her face. "Ow!" You growl and she lets go. "S-sorry."

  "Hello, Girls~" You both hear an unfamiliar male voice from behind causing you both to turn around. You in confusion and Oscar in fear.
