DARLING (yanderes x reader)

XXXVI- uninfected

When she saw Jasper behind Tobias, (Y/n) knew she had to leave. Whatever Tobias had to say would have to wait, or he could choke on it for all (Y/n) cared, he had been an asshole and she didn't plan on forgiving him any time soon. He was the least of her concerns right now.

(Y/n) did feel sorry for her sister though, whom she had left behind with barely a word of excuse and a goodbye, before sprinting away in the hopes of escaping the trio chasing after her.

Sprinting wasn't going to save (Y/n) for much longer though, Infected people were much faster than she was and had much more endurance as well. It was only a matter of time before Jasper or Tobias caught up to her. Which is why (Y/n) needed to find Lupita as soon as possible and get the fuck away from this godforsaken party.

Something that was easier said than done considering the massive amount of people filling the ballroom.

(Y/n) frantically entered the ballroom and surveyed the refreshment table, letting out a frustrated groan at the realization that Lupita was nowhere to be seen.

Gosh, Lupita had probably had more than enough time to get their drinks, come back to their original spot and see that (Y/n) had left the room. (Y/n) could only hope that Lupita hadn't left without her and had actually waited for her in their dark corner. Because (Y/n) had no time to search the entire room for Lupita.

She risked a quick glance behind her shoulder, cold adrenaline flaring inside of her at the sight of Jasper just a few feet away, struggling to make his way through the crowd. She couldn't see Tobias, but she knew he mustn't have been very far.

Shit.

She glanced back towards the corner where Lupita had left her, apprehension thick in her veins. And fortunately for (Y/n), Lupita was standing there, already looking at her with an alarmed expression. A wave of relief washed over (Y/n) and she hastily made her way over to Lupita.

"What took so long? I was this close to come and check up on you." Lupita said with a relieved sigh, gently holding (Y/n)'s forearms as if checking her for signs of harm. "How'd it go? With your sister?"

(Y/n) had no idea how Lupita knew of her reunion with Grey, but she guessed Lupita must have seen Grey dragging her away from the party and had connected the dots. This would also explain why she had been so chill in waiting for her instead of searching for her. She knew (Y/n) would come back eventually.

What she didn't know though, was that they had no time to dwell on (Y/n)'s discussion with Grey. They had to leave, fast.

(Y/n) shot Lupita an alarmed glance, taking her hands in hers and giving them an urgent squeeze. Jasper was getting closer and closer and they really needed to run.

"I'll tell you when we get home, but we have to lea-"

"(Y/n)!"

No. No, no, no, no, no! (Y/n) cursed internally as Jasper's voice cut her off, sounding way too close for comfort. She didn't even have time to face him before strong arms wrapped around her from behind and pulled her away from Lupita.

"Are you alright? Did anyone do anything to you?" Jasper asked frantically as he tightened his hold on her and spun her around so she'd face him, concern written all over his features. He scanned her up and down before engulfing her in his embrace, his shoulders slumping in relief. "Gosh, I was so worried."

(Y/n) didn't know what had gotten Jasper so worked up, but it didn't matter at this moment, she needed to get away from him. His hug was getting increasingly stifling and overwhelming the more he tightened his arms around her. It was only a matter of time before he expelled all the air from her lungs and suffocated her.
