not the change I hoped for (Carlos Oliveira x reader)

as we fall into chaos

Y/n wakes up out of a dead sleep covered in a cold sweat having had a nightmare that she can hardly remember now that she is awake. She rubs her face with both of her hands trying to shake off sleep. She looks over at the clock on her bedside table to see the fact that she only has two hours before she has to be at work. "oh come on did I really sleep that late" she lets out an exasperated sigh and rolls out of bed to go get a shower. As the water rolls down her skin she can't help but be unnerved as if though something horrible was about to happen. After a few minutes in the shower, she shakes off the feeling and finishes bathing. When she steps out of the shower the cool air hits and it sends goosebumps across her skin she grabs her towel and wraps it around her in a feeble attempt to keep herself warm. She does her everyday routine, getting ready for work. before long she has let time slip up on her she looks over at the clock "oh shit" it shows that she only has twenty minutes to get to work. Y/n grabs something that she can eat on the way and grabs her backpack throwing it over her shoulders and rushes out the door.

The walk to work was louder than normal people seemed to be bothered by something but Y/n paid no mind to it. Y/n made it to work with only a minute to spare. Moments later a tiny young woman comes running out from the office "Y/n! Are ok? You are never this late to work I was starting to get worried." it was Quin she always worried too much. Y/n smiles having gotten used to the fact of how much her friend worries" yeah I am fine I just woke up late that is all." Quin sighs in relief " good it is a madhouse out there today for some reason and we are really slow I have hardly seen anyone" Y/n raises her eyebrow "not even to use the computer" Quin shakes her head " nope I have never seen it so slow" Y/n becomes uneasy because that is far from normal there always someone in here at almost all hours even if it is just to use the computers for a few minutes. Y/n shrugs it off " well then we will just have to get shit done and then chill it is just is right?" Quin nods in her normal overzealous manner "yep."

The day goes by slow and still, almost no one came in Y

was just putting books back on the shelf when Quin rushes over to her as pale as ghost and starts pulling her arm " come on got we have got to go now." Y/n looks at her confused as can be she had never seen Quin so scared in the two years she has known her "hey hey Quin slow down what is wrong" She looks Y/n straight in the eyes with a look of horror plastered her face. "THEY ARE FUCKING EATING PEOPLE!" y/n a cold shudder runs down jer spine she had heard about the cannibal murders that have been happening across the city. "shhh not so loud you want to let them know you say them," Y/n says in a whisper. Quin now hyperventilating speaks again not lowering her voice " THEY ARE ZOMBIES I DO NOT THINK THEY GIVE A SHIT IF I SAW THEY WILL EAT USE IF WE DO NOT MOVE" At this point, Y/n was starting to think that Quin was trying to prank her as she has done in the past. Quin sees this and grabs Y/n arm and pulls her out of behind the bookshelf and points to the floor near the front desk and sure enough, he was eating her.
