It has been over five months since the apocalypse first befell the earth. Over time, more and more people kept losing their lives, but also, more powerful beings began coming up in different places all around the world.
The one behind the apocalypse, called the Beholder, was still an ever-mysterious entity who hadn't shown much of itself since the apocalypse started. And now... the people must fight for survival.
"It's like we're now in the place of animals. They get hunted by humans, and now they've gained power and are now hunting us," Gracia said as they stepped back into the camp.
"I guess you could say that," Hannah said with a sigh; she didn't really do much during the hunt today.
"There you are!" Tracy came towards them from within the camp, and Hannah went towards her with a happy smile.
"Tracyyy! Where have you been?" Hannah asked as she saw her friend.
"Don't mind me. I was hanging out with some guys who were telling me how the camp came to be," Tracy said, and then she looked behind Hannah to see Gracia and smiled widely.
"Oh my... you're okay," Tracy said with a smile as she looked at Gracia.
"Yeah, good to see you too," Gracia smiled back at Tracy.
Dexter, observing the tension between both of them with a tranquil expression, just walked past and headed towards his allocated house to have some rest.
Hannah was about to follow him when Gracia suddenly grabbed her hand.
"Come with me for a few minutes. Dad asked to see you earlier," Gracia said, looking all serious. Hannah looked at Dexter, who was walking back to his building, and then she just followed Gracia.
"What's going on?" Tracy asked Lily and Kila, who both looked like they were confused as well.
"Just leave it; I'm hungry anyway," Kila said as she yawned. She looked around at so many people and then walked off in a random direction.
"So how was your guys' hunt?" Tracy asked Lily as they walked to the big cafeteria to grab something to eat.
Dexter raised a brow and looked behind him to see Hannah looking at him with a smile. Seeing her smile made his heart quiver in his chest. He got up from his bench and hugged her, taking her by surprise.
Hannah hugged him back, and both of them stayed silent. She knew how much Dexter had lost in the chaos of the apocalypse.
"I know we've not had a chance to be together because of my dad always wanting me by his side. But I'm here now," she said, and Dexter smiled and sat back down on the bench.
"Dexter, I want us to be together."
Dexter looked at Hannah as she said that, and he nodded too.
"I know I've been a bit distant because of so many things. But I still love you," Dexter said while looking into her eyes, and then Hannah moved closer to him and caught his lips with hers, shocking him.
He then closed his eyes and enjoyed the sensation of her kiss. They broke off the kiss, and Hannah rested her head on his shoulder, and they just sat there doing nothing else.
On top of a building, Mr. Dian observed this, and he was furious as his eyes glowed a bright orange color. He didn't act and just stayed... waiting...
Dexter soon became hungry, and the both of them parted ways to get some sleep.
'What a day...' Dexter thought with a smile, and then he heard rapid footsteps coming towards him from behind. He waved his hand, a pitch-black spear appeared, and he slashed behind him, and then he didn't see anyone.
"Hello, boy." A thick voice reached Dexter's ears, and he recognized that voice this time.
"Mr. Dian?" Dexter backed off, dismissed his spear, and looked at the man in front of him.
"Sorry about that, I didn't know it was you." Dexter had a faint smile on his face.
"Hm..." The man let out a curious hum, and then he vanished before Dexter's eyes.
Dexter suddenly felt his neck being grabbed, and he was pushed back to a wall.
"Boy, you have five hours to leave this camp, or you'll die."
