On the distant shores of USA was a small speed boat and on the land were a few individuals who all stayed staring at the water.
Tracy, Lily, and Kila were looking out to the ocean as if waiting for something. Soon, something emerged from the water and landed on the ground close to them with a loud thud.
It was Dexter with his wings and he was drenched, with a huge gash on the left side of his chest.
"That looks bad." Kila said as she held his hand and Lily only looked at him with a worried face.
The wound on his chest was slowly healing and Dexter kept quiet and walked away from them.
He stayed under a tree and then dismissed his coat and black top which were ruined and then he summoned them again, looking dry, fine and new.
He walked back to them and sat on the sand and stared at the horizon.
"What do we do?" Lily asked Kila who was just in the distance looking at Dexter and she too didn't know what to do or say.
"He needs space." Kila said with a sigh.
"His girlfriend should be by his side at this moment." Tracy said as she looked around for Hannah.
"Where did Hannah go off to?" She asked and Kila pointed behind them towards a ruined city even more worse that that in Nigeria.
"I better go get her." Tracy turned around but then she saw Dexter in front of her.
"I'll go myself." A low, emotionless voice came out of Dexter's mouth and then Tracy let Dexter go on his own.
"Ever since we got here, Hannah has been acting weird and out of place, since after she woke up from being unconscious for nearly five days." Tracy said as she massaged her forehead as they were all just stressed.
It's been a day since they got to USA. It was even a more chaotic place than Nigeria as they were attacked the moment they arrived.
Dexter has been searching the waters for his brothers, he went away for four days and he is just coming back now.
...
"So whenever you're close to a monster, you suddenly space out and you feel affection towards them." Tracy said and Hannah nodded.
"So... Are you human?" Tracy asked and Hannah shook her head.
"I don't know. It doesn't even show on my spirit interface." She said.
"Well, get yourself together. Dexter might look calm but I can tell he's hurting inside. It's only a matter of time before he erupts." Tracy said as she looks up to Dexter who was just on the pavement looking at the ocean.
"My actions, I feel attracted to the creatures, what's going on?" Hannah said as she looked at her hands.
Back then at the camp she just wanted to protect Dexter, and then she went unconscious and wasn't in control of her body but she could see through her right eye and only her left.
Hannah stood up and leapt up the pavement and then she sat beside Dexter.
"Hey, Babe. I really... Don't know what's wrong with me." Hannah said as she held his hand and she felt it shaking.
"Hannah." Dexter called her name and then he looked at her eyes.
His eyes looked to be holding something back.
"I love you." Dexter said and Hannah was stunned.
"I've never said it before cause I didn't believe in it after the incident at my high school." He looked forward again.
"You were there for me when no one else was, through the ups and downs, you motivated me to keep pushing when life got hard and my dad died. I'm grateful, and I love you." Dexter said, his voice was calm and it pierced through Hannah's heart and she unconsciously felt tears stroll down her cheeks and Dexter sighed tiredly.
"Come here." He pulled her closer and hugged her.
"You big baby. Who is supposed to be crying among the both of us?" Dexter said to her with a subtle smile and then he looked out to the horizon again.
