Chapter 146: 143. Confirming suspicions
"Argh!!" Tracy groaned in frustration as she kicked a small rock closeby.
"Still nothing?" Hannah asked as she walked towards Tracy.
She wore a black battle attire which consisted of a tight, sleeveless top which has golden designs on various parts and black leggings with golden patterns on it. She wore a black crop jacket which had the golden symbol of a sun behind it.
Tracy only wore a long sleeve black top with the golden symbol of the sun on her back and a black leggings like Hannah. Black combat boots were on their feet with golden laces.
"Dexter sure went all out designing these." Tracy chuckled as she stretched and checked out their new... Uniforms?
"I know right, I look so good in these." Hannah did a 360 degrees turn and Tracy rolled her eyes.
"Back to training. We tried anger and it didn't work." Hannah put a finger on her chin as she bit her lip.
"Maybe it's because I know that it was planned." Tracy sighed as she sat down on the ground to relax.
The place they were at were behind a group of buildings and people hardly pass through here as it's always shadowy.
"So much for trying to use my powers." Tracy sighed as she looked down and Hannah breathed out tiredly.
"Maybe Dexter can help. He seems to know how to control himself really well." Hannah said and Tracy nodded.
"Yeah, that's a great idea." Tracy said as she stood up and Hannah raised a brow.
"I thought you didn't want to tell anyone yet." Hannah smiled.
"Dexter trusts us enough, and I trust him. Besides,the full moon isn't going to wait for anybody. At least let me know how to stay human." Tracy said and both of them made their way back to their residence.
...
Inside their building, Dexter played with a small, white flame over his hand with a lot of focus and Jude stared at him from another bed.
"What?" He asked as he felt Jude staring.
"It's just that two days ago you came back bald and now your hair has grown back." Jude shook his head.
Indeed it has been two days since they returned from the supermarket, the truck was able to carry only a little and not so much goods, and Dexter already destroyed 1/3 of the entire supermarket so that was a loss on its own.
"I'm just glad I had those extra blood bags. How are you doing with the training?" Dexter asked and Jude scratched the back of his head.
"Uhh... I had some problems with resisting at first but now I can resist but these eyes won't stop glowing, and I have to always put my mind somewhere else which is not easym." Jude smiled bitterly.
"Just take it easy." Dexter walked over to Jude.
"Even me, when I first became a vampire I almost ate my friends at night." Dexter said and Jude looked at Dexter in shock.
He has never seen Dexter loose his cool because of blood, he couldn't even imagine it.
Dexter knew that it was all thanks to a special someone that he is able to control himself so much.
*Knock knock*
Dexter and Jude looked at the door as they heard a knock and they looked sideways to see Collins sleeping soundly.
Dexter walked over and opened the door and there he saw the Grey haired guy, Trey, outside the door in his white uniform.
"Kabal wants to see you." Trey said and Dexter nodded before following behind him.
Jude sighed as he looked around and then he walked out of the room too.
...
As Dexter left the building he saw Kila and he waved at her. She took wore tight leggings made of a strong material which shined like leather and pronounced her shape more. She wore a black tank top while the jacket she wore was black and gold with the symbol of a sun at it's back.
Dexter's coat now had the symbol as well.
~'Whats going on?'~ Kila asked through telepathy.
~'Its nothing, Kabal just wants to see me.'~ Dexter replied and Kila walked back to their place.
She met Jude coming out of the building and he couldn't help but gaze at her body before looking at her face.
"Hey, I was wondering if you could teach me more on how to control the bloodlust." Jude said and Kila sighed.
"Alright. Let's head back to the normal area." Kila said as she walked in front of Jude and he couldn't help but smile mildly as he enjoyed the view from the back.
...
Dexter got to the office and then he saw other people like the woman who tested him before when his group didn't do anything in the field.
Johnny too was here, Dexter hasn't had time and he also didn't see Johnny around the camp at all, seems like he was an inside person.
"Hm." Kabal nodded as he saw Dexter and Trey.
"Now that you are all present let's move to the main reason you're here." Kabal sighed as he said so.
"We are planning to expand camp north, more and more people are being rescued by the teams that explore for useable things. Expanding would be the best course of action at this point." Kabal said and Dexter just looked at him with a bored expression.
"Only one problem. Expanding needs breaking the fence down at the north. We'll be open from behind." Kabal's eyes swept the group of individuals sternly.
"Now, the tools for construction is already ready. We'll start tomorrow, and I need you all to monitor and protect those expanding the wall."
...
The meeting ended quite swiftly. Dexter and the others later agreed to defend the new fencing project and since the project will begin from tomorrow, they'll all be there to defend it.
"Dexter, hold on." Kabal called Dexter back and Dexter raised a brow as he came back inside.
Now he was with Kabal, Trey, and Veneta alone in the office.
"I see you're very interested in the topic we talked about." Kabal said and Dexter's brows furrowed and he cleared his throats as he replied.
"Yes. The topic was a nice one."
'I just want a safe place for those I care about. I don't care about anything else.' Dexter thought as he looked at the others with uninterested eyes.
"And there's also another topic I want to discuss with you." Kabal put his elbows on the table before putting his chin on the back of his palm and staring at Dexter.
"Dexter, have you heard of the supernatural?" Kabal asked and Dexter frowned as he looked at Kabal who seemed like he knew was saying.
'Could it be that I've been figured out?' Dexter questioned inwardly and then he decided to play the situation.
"The supernatural? Isn't the tiran impact considered supernatural?" Dexter raised a brow.
"No, people with extraordinary abilities, strength unlike no other, speed, advanced physical traits, shape shifting..." Kabal explained and Dexter puffed his cheek and then he swallowed his fake laugh.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Dexter breathed out to calm down.
"So you're saying werewolves and vampires exist?" Dexter's lips were curved downwards.
"Yes, although it hasn't been confirmed yet, we have clues." Kabal said and smiled and Greg suddenly charged forward towards Dexter with his metallic arms. His hands already had long metal claws and Dexter spread his feet to get more ground and then as the hand swiped towards him, Dexter ducked and punched Greg in the stomach as he rose up.
*BANG!!*
A loud banging sound resounded as Greg recieved a heavy punch on his stomach and Greg's eyes were wide as he fell on his knees.
"I see you know martial arts. Seems like Korean style taekwondo." Kabal said as he signalled for Veneta to head forwards towards Dexter and she jumped towards him while extending her leg and Dexter jumped sideways before he used his hand to push her to the floor.
She suddenly spun as she got up and Dexter frowned as he bent backwards to avoid Veneta's leg which came towards him at quite the speed.
Veneta looked up towards him and her eyes suddenly changed to a green color and her pupil was suddenly a slit like a snake and she ran over to Dexter before throwing a kick.
Dexter ducked while spinning, he swept her second leg as he spun and Veneta jumped up with her toes.
'She's faster.' Dexter furrowed his brows.
She landed and She began throwing punches at Dexter and he retaliated.
All attacks she threw at him he blocked and her punches were quite heavy. He only shifted the arm a bit from the line in which it was going and it detailed from it's path.
All of a sudden Dexter's arm was grabbed and the lady kneed him in the stomach before punching him on his face sideways.
Dexter was shocked, it had been long since he felt pain on his face like that. It was like when he was with his cousins Cook and Fridge, those bastards always slapped Dexter when he was little.
Dexter suddenly turned into a blur as he delivered punches at Veneta's important muscles for mobility and she wasn't able to defend as she couldn't make out his movements.
Veneta fell on her knees after more than a thirty consecutive strikes. All her muscles ached and Dexter turned around to Kabal who was smiling at him.
"You can leave now." Kabal said and Dexter frowned.
"What the hell was that for?!"
