Chapter 119: 113. Enemies for life
The sounds of people letting out scared whimpers reached Dexter's ears and he entered inside and looked around.
"Oh. Ah, Dexter my brooooo!!"
Dexter's eyes widened as a particular someone emerged from the group of people and his heart started beating at the sight of them.
It was an older looking boy with beard on his chin and low cut hair. The boy had his human brown eyes... but... this one wasn't innocent.
"You... Fridge." Dexter mumbled as he balled his fists.
Immediately, Collins eyes landed on the boy he frowned as he looked at the boy from head to toe.
"Dexter. Man, I thought you died on your way back. It's nice to see you." The guy walked forward to hug Dexter but Dexter stopped him with one hand and the dude seemed surprised.
"Fridge, I'll be honest. I'm not happy that you're alive. I hate you, why don't you just stay out of my life?" Dexter said, balling his fists and Collins soon began to see blood flowing from Dexter's hands to the ground.
"Dexter, now is not the time." Collins whispered in Dexter's ears and Dexter looked around to see the people there looking at him and wondering what he would do next.
"Dexter." A person came out of the crowd and walked quickly towards Dexter and Dexter smiled as he gave Hannah a big hug.
"I don't know how you keep finding me but you're the best." She said as she hugged him tight.
He noticed that she was shaking and he sighed as he recounted things that are happening outside right now.
"Oh my God. I haven't been so glad to see you." Tracy came out from the crowd too and they punched Dexter on his shoulder.
"You seem pretty shaken up too. Want a hug?" Dexter asked but Tracy only snorted.
"I'm not shaken up. And besides, I don't want to steal you from Hannah." Tracy said with a smirk.
Fridge who was on the sidelines didn't like getting ignored like this so he looked at Dexter and stomped his feet on the floor.
"Hey! You're ignoring me! What do you say we talk?" Fridge said but Dexter shook his head.
"Look, I don't want anything to do with you..." Dexter paused as another person came out of the crowd eating a piece of bread.
This person looked exactly like Fridge, only with a bigger stomach and wider stature.
"Oh, my. Dexter and Collins, you both survived?" The boy said as he threw the bread to another corner of the place and he looked at Dexter with a grin.
"I missed you man. How about a hug?" The guy said and Dexter furrowed his brows.
Hannah could feel Dexter's heartbeats as she was hugging him currently and she whispered in his ears.
"Just focus on me. Don't get confused by these guys. We can talk about who they are later." Hannah whispered softly and Dexter sighed.
"I don't want any hugs, Cook. I'm just staying here for a while till things settle."
"Hey, close the doors, more creatures might notice."
"Ye- yes. Just close it."
"Please."
Henry closed the doors as people began to complain about it being open and the place became darker.
The little rays of light entered into the windows and in the warehouse, people were still able to see clearly.
Dexter walked over to another empty corner of the place and sat and people just sat there while hoping on some kind of miracle.
Dexter used his eyes to search to see if Johnny and the others were here but he couldn't see any of them.
Hannah, who was beside Dexter noticed that he still had an angry expression on his face and she sat beside him and began fiddling with his soft, black hair.
"So? Your cousins? The annoying twins?" She asked and he sighed before nodding.
'These two.' Dexter gazed at them hard and looked at them as they tried to coordinate the people.
'Imposters.' Dexter thought hard as he gritted his teeth hard.
Images of him being thrown into a pool by fhese two flashed in his head and he got even more angrier.
Hannah could see Dexter's finger nails turning black and she just gave him a kiss on his cheek and he blinked as he felt a somewhat cold and soft, yet brief sensation which sent a jolt down his spine.
"Could you do that again, baby?" Dexter grinned but Hannah only smiled at him.
"I know what you're trying to do. But we're in a very public place right now." Hannah said but Dexter only sighed as he looked down with a sad face.
Henry who was by the sidelines watching Hannah and Dexter was smiling bitterly.
"Wish I had a girlfriend." He mumbled and Collins looked at him before looking back at the couple.
"Aren't you months older than Dexter. You're already, you should have one." Collins said to Henry with a raised brow, confused.
"I was just always busy with school stuff." Henry said with a smile before his gaze went towards the two guys who Dexter recognized and clearly hated.
"You know those guys?" Henry asked and Collins replied with a tired sigh.
"Those two are our cousins. Proud, always find ways to insult us. Their family was rich and since my dad died, they played with us a lot." Collins explained.
"Dexter looked more angrier than tou." Henry mentioned and Collins shrugged.
"Probably because he has had it worst out of all of us. He was very bad with cold and they threw him into a chilling pool once for fun." Collins said tiredly and Henry looked towards the boys who called themselves cousins in anger too.
He now understood the anger Dexter felt.
"Hey, I think that thing is heading for the shelter." Someone suddenly said and the place was filled with gasps soon enough.
Dexter stood up and looked out to see a black horse which had no fur on. One problem though, this horse was the scariest monster Dexter saw today.
