Chapter 65: 65. Brothers and Friends

After they went into the tall building, Dexter saw that there were a lot of people inside. But the number of people weren't more than that of last camp he was at.

"So why are you guys still hanging around here? There's a military base at barracks." Dexter said to them.

"We decided to help people, you know." Jude said with a smirk and Dexter looked at him with contempt.

"Since when do you help people?" Dexter asked with a chuckle.

"Since we needed them for protection." Collins said and Dexter just sighed tiredly.

"What? People never treated us good, so I don't really care too much." Jude said and Dexter just shook his head with a smile.

"Who's the girl?" Collins asked as he looked at the girl holding Dexter's hand.

"Oh. This is Lily. She's our new sister." Dexter said and his brothers raised their brows in surprise.

"How?"

"I don't understand."

"I'll explain it to you guys later." Dexter sighed.

They walked up the stairs and entered into a big open space where they saw a group of people surrounding two people who were sparring with each other.

A young man with side cut black, long hair which was tied like a ponytail fought with another boy who seemed to be struggling to land a single hit.

"Ah. Since when did Henry know how to fight?" Dexter asked them in shock as the way Henry dodged was so unpredictable.

Henry got tired of dodging and put a leg in front of the boy, tripping him down to the floor.

"You're all dismissed." Henry, the guy with a ponytail said and all the people there walked out of the place.

They all glanced towards Dexter and wondered whether he was new but they just shrugged it off.

"Yo! Since when are you able to fight?" Dexter said as he walked towards Henry who was doing stretches.

Henry was surprised to hear the familiar voice and looked back to see Dexter.

"Damn. Your brothers said the apocalypse wasn't enough to kill you. And they were right." Henry approached him before doing another signature handshake and hugging each other.

"I'm now your height." Dexter smirked and Henry just laughed it off.

"Where are the others?" Dexter asked as they broke the hug but Henry just looked down with a sad expression.

"What's that face supposed to mean?" Dexter asked with a smile, not suspecting the worst.

"I'm leaving this place tomorrow with you guys. Currently she... my phone!!" Dexter shouted as he left his phone in his bag, back at the camp which was destroyed.

"Pfft. You still carry it around. Its useless now." Jude said.

Dexter sighed.

"Anyway, she's trapped in her hostel and I don't know how she is doing now." Dexter said.

"Don't worry, we're leaving this place for barracks military base in two days." Jude said.

"The soldiers said that they are building a safe haven around there so it is the safest place to be in Lagos city." Henry said.

"Alright. It's just one more day." Dexter said with a smile.

...

The next day, they went out for hunting and Dexter decided to train Lily.

"How are you walking under the sun?" Henry asked and Dexter pointed at his coat.

Henry touched it and the info came out in front of him.

"Wow. I can tell it's self made." Henry mumbled.

"But how is she under the sun?" He asked as he didn't see any coat on Lily.

"She's a special type of vampire." Dexter said and Henry looked confused.

"Hey!! Come on, Let's go hunting." Jude said in an excited voice as he dashed passed Dexter.

"Your brothers really like killing things." Henry shook his head.

"True, true." Dexter nodded and agreed.

...

While Dexter and Lily were inside the forest, they saw a large lizard on the floor beside a building and Dexter instructed Lily on what to do.

"You can use your poison skill to try to stab it." Dexter said and she nodded before forming two green, thin spikes in the air.

With a wave of her hand she sent both spikes to the lizard but they failed to penetrate it and the lizard stood up while hissing.

"Let's just..." before Dexter could complete the statement Lily was already dashing towards the lizard with her claws out.

One thing was weird though; her claws were glowing in a bright green colour.
