Unmasking Love (Luis Sera x Fem!Reader) Re4 remake fanfiction.

Chapter 3 : Face to Face

Luis had just met Ada for the first time regarding the amber, but unfortunately he had nothing to give her right away because Saddler had gotten his hands on him before he could escape with it. And like she had mentioned in her email, "no sample, no protection".

As he walked determinedly in the direction that (y/n) had indicated, wondering what she was going to ask him to do, a decrepit house began to take shape in his field of vision. There were no villagers, no hideous zombie-insects or any other horrors that he would have had to face. Surroundings were strangely quiet.

Playing with his lighter in one hand, he gently pressed his ear against the door, trying to listen for any sound inside

Nada

He pushed the door open, making an unpleasant creaking sound. A quick glance to analyze the surroundings showed that there was no one there.

"Well, well, is anyone here?" Luis shouted loudly.

He took a step forward.

"(y/n)?" he shouted even louder.

« Hijo de puta!" »

Luis barely had time to turn around before he came face to face with a hatchet.

Luckily for him, the sound of a bullet firing from a pistol was heard, leaving a red hole between the infected villager's eyes, who was now just a corpse on the ground.

« Scream louder, good idea. » said a sarcastic female voice.

He turned around and came face to face with a woman holding a gun in both hands.

« And you are,querida? » asked our pretty spanish boy.

« Not going to answer that question, obviously » said the woman, putting her pistol away in her bag and revealing her face.

The voice, the uniform... impossible.

"(y/n)?!"

Luis was dazzled. Of course, it was her. The arrogant tone in her voice, who else.

She was there, right in front of him, her face revealed for the first time, and the wait was totally worth it... She was so stunning it was hard to believe. A wave of warmth pass through his heart, a flirtatious smile forming on his face, he took a few steps towards her.

Not a word came out of his mouth.

He was mesmerized by her beauty. Of all the dreams he had had, all the times he had tried to imagine her face, what he had in front of him at that moment was beyond all his expectations.

« Have you lost your voice?" asked (y/n), a smirk on her lips.

She finally looked up at Luis, eyes to eyes.

"Well, mi amor..."

Her gaze was so intense that although Luis was used to flirting, nothing more could come out of his lips. He was completely helpless. Funny thing was, that man was usually well-informed when it came to flirting with women, but that ONE woman he was facing, well... he was going to need new instructions.

« You look very foolish, you know that?" she said mockingly. "Pull yourself together, what's happening here is very serious. I'm glad you came."

"Where's your mask?" asked Luis, still unable to detach himself from the spectacle before his eyes. "It doesn't surprise me, querida, that you kept it on so often. You could have had me at your feet so easily, and there's no fun in that."

"And there's the Luis I know," she sighed. "It didn't take you long. Any other pertinent remarks for our survival?"

"Sorry, mi amor, it's just that..."

"Luis, stop," she said sharply.

Y/n's uniform was soaked in blood and dirt, her mask had been lost in a scuffle with several villagers.

Despite her confident posture and determined stride, the worried look in her eyes betrayed the fact that she was not in control of the situation.

"I asked you to come here to talk," she began. "I had the chance to sneak into your office during your various absences recently and now I know everything you were doing behind Saddler's back."

Luis felt his heart racing, bringing him right back to reality.

"It's not what you thi-,"

"It is what I think," she interrupted. "And don't worry, I'm not here to rat you out. In fact, I'm here to ask for your help."

He breathed a sigh of relief, his entire body relaxing as he slumped into a nearby chair. But his quick mind soon took over, wondering how this was possible. After all, she worked front and center to protect Saddler's work.

"I know what you're thinking," she said, sensing his confusion. "And I know I can trust you. I'm actually not working for Osmund Saddler and his twisted plans. For months, I've been infiltrating this organization to gather information on him for the BSAA, we're charged with preventing and eradicating bio-terrorism."

Luis had no time to process all of this information. A flurry of emotions coursed through him as he tried to come to grips with what he had just heard. But Y/n wasn't finished.

"I know that's already a lot to deal with but that's not the most important thing. I need your help because Saddler knows what I've been up to. Before I left the island, he came to me and I know that you have found a cure--"

Her voice grew increasingly tremulous, and she paced nervously around the room as she spoke.

"--and I'm infected."

Those were her last words before her body gave out. Luis jumped up just in time to catch her in his arms. Her forehead was slick with sweat, and her breathing was painfully erratic. Signs of the infection were already starting to appear on her skin.

What the fuck was actually going on?

It was a lot of information to digest all at once, (Y/n) was an infiltrator, infected, and Saddler was on her tail.

Mierda, Luis had so much on his mind that he didn't know where to turn.

Gently lowering his gaze to Y/n's face, which was now showing pain above all. He couldn't help but feel constantly captivated by her anyway.

Despite all the revelations, deep down in his heart, he knew one thing for sure: he had to save this woman and keep her safe. Not just because of what he was feeling for her, but also to prove to himself that he could help someone out of this and not just run away like some coward.
