Chapter 67: 67. Vampire hunter
''Turn us. Right now.''
''No.'' Dexter replied flatly to Collins' request.
''Why not? We could be as strong as you.'' Collins argued.
''The strength is a benefit but what about the price you have to pay?'' Dexter asked and they all looked confused.
''Bloodlust. I know you guys won't be able to handle it,'' he said as he walked upstairs to a room which had a mat on the floor.
'I was sleeping on a mattress a few days ago.' Dexter couldn't believe what his life turned to.
''What do you mean by we can't handle it.'' Collins continued to pester.
''It's a higher version of hunger and both of you don't do very well when hungry.''
Collins and kept quiet and Jude who was behind him nodded.
''That's true, hunger is a bad thing.'' Jude mumbled.
After they left the room Dexter looked around and he summoned his mini dimension portal.
He entered straight into the room of his mansion and he turned to Lily who followed him in.
''How is it?'' Dexter asked her.
''It's not too strong. I can bear it.'' Lily smiled.
Dexter sighed as he went and hugged the little girl.
'Ever since her mom died, her behavior changed. She's not her former playful self.' He thought.
She was too young for that, but well, the only one they could blame was the tiran.
Dexter left her to sleep and he came back to the real world, back to the room where he was assigned to.
''The mini dimension is really convinient. If some people knew that this existed I won't have peace... but who will tell them.'' He smiled as he stared out of the window.
All of a sudden his heart skipped a beat as he felt a very ominous aura coming from within the wodds not far away from their location.
He jumped from his window, turning into a bat in mid air as he flew outside heading towards the woods.
His vision turned red as he made a squeaking sound which only he could hear and he listened attentively.
'This feeling. The same feeling I got from Brian's katana.' He thought as he dived down.
''AHHH!!'' Dexter dived down towards the direction of the scream and he turned to a human and ran towards where he saw a body on the floor.
He ran towards the lady to see that her chest, where her heart was positioned, was stabbed and her skin was turning ash, spreading from her chest.
''What?'' Dexter was confused. ''Who did this?''
Although he has witnessed an incident of humans killing humans from his previous camp, it still doesn't make sense to him.
'We'll just be helping the tiran to wipe ourselves out.' Dexter thought.
He suddenly felt that fear again and he looked forward and the feeling was fading away.
'The strange feeling. It's fading, as if it's getting further away.' Dexter thought and ultimately decided to pursue it and he dashed through the forest of trees, dodging each one as he got closer and closer to the source.
'I'm almost there.' He smiled. But it wasn't for long as his face turned pale as he felt the feeling fading again.
'What? It got faster?' He was shocked but he just kept on running.
After more than thirty minutes of endless pursuit, Dexter finally stopped as he saw someone in the distance.
Brian sheathed his bloodied katana as he walked forward.
'He killed her? He doesn't seem like the kind of person that would do such a thing.' Dexter thought as he remembered Brian always having a serious expression but wasn't a coward.
He looked in front of Brian to see a big, ancient looking hut which was lit from within.
'Things are just getting weirder.' Dexter thought as he wondered who would build a hut in the middle of the woods.
He watched as Brian entered into the hut and he wanted to move closer too.
'The feeling is stronger now that he's inside. Could it be that his weapon was not normal?' Dexter thought.
The fear wasn't real but he felt it very well and it could even compare to real fear.
...
Inside the hut was a slightly aged woman in her fifties, if human knew her real age, they would probably die out of shock as she was still very beautiful. She wore a long yellow gown and was currently on her knees' spraying powder on a specific plant with a yellow flower.
She had long brown, silky hair and deep blue eyes which were very beautiful.
The door opened and she smiled as she instantly felt and knew who it was.
''Brian? I thought you were heading elsewhere?'' she said in a gentle voice and Brian just placed his broken compass on the table.
''I was chasing one of them but she escaped. She also broke my compass so I decided to come back while chasing after her. Unfortunately for her... she was hiding in these woods and I killed her.'' Brian explained and the woman just sighed.
''The vampires and the other witches are not going to be happy when they find out that my coven is helping the vampire hunter.'' She said, she then signaled for him to bring the compass.
He took it and put it in her hand and she took out a transparent jar from inside a cabinet. Within it were tiny white orbs.
''Mermaid pearls. They're the final thing that makes the compass work. I'll give you some so you don't always come knocking at my door.''
''Thank you.'' Bryan said but was still with a serious expression.
The woman brought out one of the pearls and the compass floated in front of her. As she put the pearl close to the compass it began to turn into mist which entered the surface of the compass and the pearl got smaller and smaller till it disappeared.
''Here. All done.'' She said with a smile as she waved her long brown hair backwards.
She put a few mermaid pearls into a small pouch and gave him along with the compass.
He stretched his hand to take the pouch and compass from her but she frowned all of a sudden and she looked at him.
''You came with a vampire?'' She furrowed her brows and Brian was shocked at what she said.
He took the compass and he walked out of the hut to see Dexter walking towards the hut.
''Uhh... I came out to piss?'' Dexter said his excuse but his eyes opened wide as he saw the long blade of the Katana coming towards his neck and he ducked at the last second.
