Chapter 79: 79. You're a wolf?
Dexter walked towards Marco with a frown on his face.
Marco was shocked to see the guy that was supposed to be dead walking towards him and as he turned to leave, he saw Dexter behind him.
"Where do you think you're going?" Dexter asked with furrowed brows.
"Hahaha. I see you made it back." Marco laughed hysterically.
Dexter wasn't buying Marco's pretense and walked up to the dude.
Marco was frightened as he knew that if this guy was able to beat that creature that he and his team couldn't, he was the most powerful amongst them.
'He has the power to defeat that thing.' Marco gulped.
Dexter just sighed.
"Be a better leader and don't put people's lives in danger. An eye for an eye so watch your back." Dexter said to him before walking away towards the medical area.
Marco let out a sigh of relief and he looked at Dexter with a confused expression.
"Seems like he made it back." A voice came from beside Marco and he turned to see his brother there.
"If he returned that would mean he defeated the creature, which would mean that he is the strongest--"
"I know that already." Marco snapped and walked away towards another direction.
Mike only looked at Dexter who was leaving and he couldn't help but think about one thing.
'What exactly are his powers?' He thought before walking away.
...
Dexter walked towards the medical area and saw Dreg on his way there.
Dreg looked at Dexter who was nearly covered in dust and blood and he became curious to know where Dexter went.
"Where were you? You look beaten."
"I was sent to fight something that almost killed me." Dexter sighed.
"Well, at least you're back safely. Go in already, she woke up a couple minutes ago." Dreg said and Dexter nodded.
He walked behind a curtain and dismissed his shirt and coat before re-equiping them again and washing hus face and arms. Hus clothes were now as good as new and he walked towards her bed.
From the distance, he looked to see her talking to Tracy with a smile and Dexter too smiled as she was okay now.
"Yes, it's really my fault. I'll be more careful next time." Tracy said with a smile and then she noticed someone approaching them and she gestured for Hannah to turn around.
As Hannah turned she saw Dexter standing beside the bed with a smile.
Dexter sat beside her and stroked her curly hair backwards.
"Are you okay?'' He asked with a smile as he looked into her strangely golden coloured pupils.
Hannah nodded to him as she pulled him before hugging him closely.
Dexter only sighed at this as he hugged her back.
Even if he wanted to be angry at her, strangely, it isn't possible.
"I don't even know whether to scold you right now." Dexter mumbled.
"You won't." Hannah whispered into his ears.
"Are you daring me? I owe you some spanking for making me worry so much." Dexter said as a flashback of the injury she had before replayed in his head. He didn't want to see such again.
Hannah released him later and he then began briefing both her and Tracy about things that have been happening.
"Are you okay, Tracy?" Dexter asked as she has been acting weird ever since he took them out of the university.
"I... I'm fine."
"You're oddly quiet." Dexter said and she furrowed her brows and looked at him.
"It's just that... the things I've seen in the past two weeks..." She shook her head as she remembered the rampage that occured at the university.
Her fellow students being eaten by the monsters in the school, students fighting and killing each other for food... she was traumatized.
"Well, get used to seeing stuff like that. The apocalypse seems to still be in the early stages." Dexter said and then he looked at Hannah whose head was on his lap.
"But I'm here. So you don't have to worry about anything." Dexter strokes her hair.
"My dad?" Hannah said and Dexter sighed.
"All communications are down. The only thing we can do now is to survive." Dexter told her and she put on a sad face.
"Don't worry, I'm sure your dad is alright. That man is quite tough." Dexter chuckled.
...
He later left the two roommates in the place and went outside to get some air. He sat on a seat close to the wall and began to calculate his strength.
'I should probably find and hunt the titan whale in the ocean. I'm sure it still an Aboriginal so I would be able to get to level 20 finally.' Dexter thought with a nod.
Dreg came to his side and sat down and Dexter looked at him.
"Aren't you supposed to be with your coven?" Dexter asked as he has been seeing Dreg around the camp more often.
"Tsk. What do you know about covens?" Dreg snorted.
"Not much. But I know you're from snow coven." Dexter shrugged and Dreg looked at him while nodding.
"What about you? I can't deduce the coven you are from." Dreg squinted his eyes.
"That's the thing, I'm not from any coven. I..." Dexter paused.
'Fuck, this is so lame.'
"...was created." He completed and Dreg seemed to be very surprised at Dexter's statement.
"That's weird. The witches don't do that anymore." Dreg put a hand on his chin.
"Don't change the subject. I asked why you were not with your coven." Dexter repeated himself.
"Haha. You're a fierce one. I guess I just left to take a break , but the apocalypse broke out so I wasn't able to return." Dreg said while gazing at the sky which was becoming Darker as the time went by.
Dexter chuckled and they talked about more vampire business. After a while Dreg left and Dexter was all alone, thinking about his mom who might not be alive after 2 weeks of this apocalypse.
"Hm?" Dexter was shocked when two arms wrapped around his neck from behind and two soft mounds pressed against his neck.
"Hey." Hannah's voice came from behind.
"What are you doing out of bed?" Dexter asked.
"The doctors said I was free to go so... I left." She said.
"I'm glad you're okay." Dexter said while closing his eyes and Hannah was quite shocked.
"I've never seen this caring side of you before." She teased.
"I always cared. I just didn't want to seem weak willed." Dexter said as he looked at her.
"Come sit with me, I have a question for you." Dexter said as he held her hand and directed her to sit beside him.
"I'm listening."
"How did you get injured? Tell me how it really happened. And don't lie, I know you're a wolf."
"A... a wolf?" Hannah looked uneasy as she left his hand.
"How did you know?" She mumbled.
Dexter sighed as he looked up to the sky.
"A vampire told me." Dexter smirked. "I wouldn't have believed if I hadn't saw strange things in this world in the past two weeks."
"Don't worry, I'm not going to bite you." Hannah smiled and Dexter pulled her closer.
"This is serious. Although I'm still in disbelief." Dexter looked at his hands.
"I'm just glad you're okay though. But... You're a werewolf?" Dexter chuckled in disbelief.
"I know. Even I was freaked out when I found out." She mumbled as she looked up too.
Dexter pulled her close and she rested her head on his shoulder.
'I'm feeling weird about telling her that I'm a vampire. When did I learn to be ashamed?' Dexter pondered.
'I'll say it when it's convinient for me. I've almost got everyone, the only person remaining is mom.' He thought, gazing at the single star in the sky which shone brightly.
...
The next morning Dexter woke up and he found that Hannah and Tracy were up too and fully dressed.
A person grabbed his hand and when he turned to see Lily, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Where did you go off to?" He asked, furrowing his brows in annoyance.
Last night when he was about to sleep he noticed that Lily wasn't close to him for some time and he searched the camp for her.
"I went hunting to practice the skill you gave me yesterday. I don't want to be a burden to you. I want to fight." Lily said as she balled her fists.
'Hehe, so cute.' Dexter smiled.
"Don't worry, I'll teach you some advanced moves later." Dexter said and Lily was happy about it.
Seeing Dexter awake and out Hannah smiled as she waved at him.
"Who's the girl?" Tracy said in a hoarse tone.
"Seems like you're already reverting back to normal." Dexter gazed at Tracy.
"Yeah. I just needed a full day of rest and peace to calm down." Tracy said, looking at the ground.
"Anyways. This is my sister, Lily." Dexter introduced her.
