Rim of the World (Gabriel X Reader) *discontinued*

Chapter 3

Yeah okay, I might have gotten into a little trouble for kicking Conrad, but it was totally worth it. He deserved it after all.

Currently, we were about to go canoeing but apparently some kid took a shit in the canoe. So, I decided to take a walk in the woods.

Suddenly, I feel myself bump into something and I get knocked straight to the ground, landing on my ass.

"I'm so sorry!" I hear what sounds like a teenage boy. I look up and see a really cute guy with brown hair and brown eyes. He looked about my age, maybe a year or two older. He holds out his hand and helps me up. I wipe down the dirt off my shorts with my hands.

"It's, it's okay," I say, looking directly into his eyes.

We are interrupted when I hear shouting coming from further into the woods. Without thinking, we run towards the sound to see Alex being dragged by Dariush towards a cliff.

"Y/N, help!" He cried, "No, no, no, no, no please! Let go of me!"

"Oh my god, Dariush!" I start running towards them to try and hurl Dariush off but he is too strong, and he pushes me to the ground.

"Let him go!" The boy who was with me says, in a stern but calm voice. Dariush turns to the boy, "Move along mountain hobo, we've got no qualms with you." He says.

"No, no please help me!" Alex cries.

"I'm not going to ask you again." The boy then says.

Dariush turns around again and makes a confused face, "huh?". He then walks over to the boy, still holding Alex. He then shoves Alex to the ground. "Ooo, five years of krav maga, bitch," Dariush then stands in a really weird position, "I'll Gal Gadot you so hard right now. What's your ground game?" Just as Dariush is about to kick the boy, he dodges it then sucker punches Dariush. He then walks over to Alex helping him up, he offers to help me up to but I let him know I can manage.

"Who are you?" Alex asks.

"My names Gabriel," he replies.

"You live around here?" I ask.

"Yeah. Yeah." Gabriel says, "you guys are from the uh camp, right?" He looks at Zehn Zehn, who suddenly appears out of nowhere. Stepping over Dariush, who is still lying on the floor.

"She's not much of a talker," Alex says to Gabriel.

Dariush gets up from the floor, "You know, you know what? That was a lucky punch, yeah. Lucky punch. You know I haven't acclimated to the altitudes yet, so my reflexes are kind of... sub-par."

Loud banging noises come from the sky, making me jump.

"What the hell?" I say, looking up to the sky. All of our phones beep at the same time and we all get them out.

"What's it say?" Gabriel asks.

"It's the emergency broadcast system, all civilians are to evacuate metropolitan areas immediately. Under no circumstances approach any unknown aircraft." Dariush answers, "it's the next 7-eleven!" He panics.

"Shut the fuck up and stay calm," I tell him.

"We gotta get back to the van!" Alex pants, "Does anyone know the way?"

"I do," Gabriel and I both say at the same time. We make eye contact for a split second then he says, "you can... lead the way,"

"Okay whoa, whoa!" Dariush claps his hands, "Slow your roll Dora the Explora, all right? This is my clique. Soldiers, out." He puts his thumbs over his shoulders pointing for us to go the other way. We all ignore him and follow the way I'm going.

We arrive back to find everyone's gone.
