Old Rivalry 🖤 (Gene x reader) {ON HOLD}

Chapter Three - Desperate Measures

As Gene and (Y/n) walked by, Zenix turned to look at them. He smirked and waved to beckon them, but they just cast him a cold glare and continued on their path.

What?

Zenix was in full control of Gene now. He could make him do anything. He wasn't about to give that power up.

He walked up to the pair to confront them.

"Hey!" He yelled. They stopped and stared at him.

"What do you want now?" (Y/n) snapped. Zenix couldn't help but feel hurt as he took in her words.

"We never finished our game of truth or dare. Get on over here!" I pointed to the spot where we were once sitting. Gene simply shook his head.

"No. We're done with you." He turned to look at (Y/n) and nodded simply. She smiled and returned the gesture.

"W-what!? You can't be done with me! Gene, you were our leader!"

"Notice how you said 'were'." Gene snarled. Zenix's mouth dropped open in surprise.

"Yes," (Y/n) agreed. "Goodbye, Zenix. I hope you change in the future." She turned to Gene and took his hand in hers. His clasped around hers harder, which left Zenix fuming. He couldn't help but accept the wave of jealousy taking over. She was holding hands with him!? The boy who made her suffer? The boy she hated? The boy she...

He couldn't think anymore. Zenix balled his hand into a fist and aimed a punch at (Y/n). She wheeled, terrified-

His hand hit someone else's skin instead. Zenix viciously fought Gene as he sheilded (Y/n). Her eyes were wide.

"Move aside, Gene, and you might be spared." Zenix growled.

"If you want to hurt her, you'll have to get past me instead."

Zenix tasted her breath in his mouth and licked his lips, savoring it as it lingered. He felt a horrible sneer creep onto his face. "Oh, I don't want to hurt her," Zenix pushed Gene aside, mouth hungry for lust. "I just want to be with her."

As he advanced, (Y/n)'s lips parted to unleash a scream-

"NO!" Gene sprinted in front of her, pushing him back. Zenix stood there a moment, dazed, before relishing in fury.

"How...DARE...you..." Zenix mumbled as he approached, the anger practically radiating off of him. "HOW DARE YOU!" He charged, hitting Gene's right eye spot on. Gene staggered backwards, blinking painfully, before gritting his teeth. He let out an outraged cry and fought Zenix one on one, fist to fist, foot to foot. Finally, Zenix managed to sink his teeth into Gene's arm. Gene yelped and pulled away.

Zenix relished at the sight, Gene painfully wounded and bruised. He was helpless.

"You know you can't win, Gene," Zenix breathed. "Just move aside and let me have 'er."

"Never," Gene panted. "(Y/n), RUN!"

(Y/n) couldn't move. She stood there, paralyzed, as Zenix charged once more. "But-"

"NOW!" Gene roared, preparing for another blow. Eyes as wide as saucers, (Y/n) ran off into the wood, leaving a wolf without his prey. Zenix screamed with bloodlust and took his anger out on Gene instead.

Eventually, badly scarred and with broken limbs, Gene managed to limp after (Y/n), leaving Zenix eager for more. He had to have (Y/n), whatever it took. No matter how hard it would be.

He needed her love.

For real.

Zenix's POV

I grabbed Sasha's hand harder. "Don't you get it Sasha!? I think I have a thing for (Y/n)!"

"Think?" Sasha smirked. I growled in frustration.

"Okay, so I do have a thing for her!" I snapped. "But that's not the point!"

Sasha sighed. "Actually, it is."

"DANG IT, WOMAN!" I pinned her against a grave. "WE LOST OUR BEST FIGHTER, I HAVE A THING FOR (Y/N), AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!"

Sasha rolled her eyes. "First of all,  get (Y/n) to be your girlfriend. If she refuses, make a potion and wipe her memories. Then, alter them to your liking. She'll fall head over heels for you. Then, get Gene back, and the group can reassemble, with (Y/n) in it. Easy as pie."

I felt my mouth drop open in shock. "This is why we call you the smart one in the group."

Sasha smiled. "We? Right now, it's just you. Oh, and if you could let me go, that would be great."

I looked down to see her arms pinned helplessly to the ground. I let go with a quiet "Oh," and avoided eye contact.

"So here's the plan," Sasha stood and brushed herself off. She stuffed her phone in her back pocket. "We have to pretend that we're-" She cringed. "good now."

"Man," I whined. "That is cringy."

"Thanks for agreeing. Now back to the point." Sasha coughed. "We have to convince Aphmau and her gang we're good now. Although, we have to avoid Gene and (Y/n) at all costs. By the scene you made earlier, they know the truth." She flashed me an accusing glare.

"Sorry," I mumbled. She rolled her eyes once more.

"Anyways, I'll hang around Lucinda, ask for some magic tips. Pretend I want to be her apprentice or something. Gain a fake friendship. You, on the other hand, need to find out everything about (Y/n). Her schedule, her friends, her hobbies, this will help you with plan A. The catch, as I said before, is you can't ask her or Gene. You have to rely on...the girls, mostly. I'm guessing that's who (Y/n) hangs out with most."

"Roger," I snapped lazily.

"Good. You know the plan?" Sasha asked.

I nodded.

"Okay. Let's make our way to their street. We also have to find a place to stay-"

"We could just ask." I stated bluntly.

"That would be rude. You see, after all we did to them in Highschool, they're not just going to welcome us with open arms. This will take time and patience-"

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Can we go now?"

She flashed me such a look that I shut up. She cleared her throat.

"Thank you. Can I continue without any further interruptions?"

"Yes," I murmured.

"Okay. Just be patient. That's the main goal," She lectured. "Oh, and one more thing."

I sat back down from packing up.

"Try and get (Y/n) alone. Do this in such a way that she doesn't know it's you. This is why you are finding so much information about her. Don't learn this all for nothing. Try not to get the others involved, but if all else comes to worst, say it's a surprise for her. They should believe you after you gain their trust."

"And if this doesn't work out?" I probed. She sighed.

"Then I use the potion. Were you even listening?"

"Say whaaaaaaat?" I asked dumbly. I forgot everything she said before.

Sasha groaned. "Might as well get comfy. This will take a LONG time to explain..."
