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

Chapter 5

After a little while we finally arrive back to the camp, to once again find nobody there.

"Where is everyone?" Alex says, clearly out of breath.

"I don't know," I reply, looking around. We come up to a large sign saying for any people left to call 911. My heart drops.

"They left us," I whisper, stepping back.

"It's gonna be okay," Gabriel whispers back to me.

We then spot Conrad, on a table.

"It's Conrad!" Alex announces.

We all run over to him and Gabriel puts two fingers on his neck, checking his pulse, "he's breathing, he must be sleeping."

"Okay but what kind of an asshole sleeps through an evacuation?" Dariush points to Conrad, "Wake him up!"

Zehn Zehn then grabs something from Conrad's pocket, that reads 'milk'. She then takes a big drink from it, chucking it behind her then wiping her mouth with her sleeve. I was thinking she was going to talk... but she didn't.

"I...I don't think that was milk,"

We look to check if the phone lines were still working, but they were out.

"Do you know what EMP is?" Alex asks us.

"Yeah that music white people dance to."

"No Dariush, that's EDM." Alex sighs, "EMP stands for electro magnetic pulse, if means nothing works!"

I shake my head, "how do you know all this stuff?"

"There's a reason why my mom sent me to outdoor camp,"

More loud bangs come from outside, we all run out and ships and explosions are coming from everywhere. Dariush is telling at us to run. Out of nowhere, something starts flying out of the sky coming right towards us.

"Run back now!" I scream. We all run back and it hits the ground right behind us, causing us to all fall over. I get up right away, "Everyone up now! Get up!" I order, trying to get them all to stand.

"What is that?"

"It's a dragon capsule!" Alex sounds awfully fascinated. We all walk over to it, Gabriel reaches out to touch it, Alex and I both yell at him not to touch it but it's too late. He shouts in pain.

"It's still hot from re-entry!"

"Does anyone have any water?" Dariush suggests. First good idea he has come up with. Zehn Zehn passes him some water from the backpack she packed earlier containing a lot of things we need. She is definitely the prepared one. Dariush takes the water from Zehn Zehn and straight away starts drinking it.

"You serious?" Gabriel looks at him like he wants to kill him, "give me that!" He snatches it from Dariush and pours it on the capsule.

"You're not going to open that thing are you?"

"Someone could be inside Dariush!" I blurted.

The lid came flying out, once again, Dariush was knocked to the floor. We all peered inside, but all I could see was darkness.

*I hope you're enjoying this so far, I'm trying to post all the chapters as close together in time as I can. There will be more of y/n and Gabriel, I'm just making it more of a slow burn.*
