Chapter 124: 119. Henry is leaving
'This place is amazing. My own safe place to rest amidst all the chaos. Since I don't need to be hiding from Brian anymore, the next goal should be to reach the main military camp where they have ships.' Dexter thought as he layed on the smooth grass.
'Now to get some rest.' He thought, closing eyes and enjoying the quietness around him.
"Hey, Dexter." A low voice called him and he opened his eyes sharply to see Hannah above him and he smiled bitterly.
"Hey. How you feeling?" Dexter asked and Hannah looked away, looking sad.
"I need your help." She said and Dexter suddenly slumped on the grass tiredly.
"Oh. You must be tired then." Hannah said with a sad smile.
Dexter then remembered that ever since he came back into the dimension, she seemed down. She wasn't her normal cheerful self.
"No. I'm not tired, talk to me." He sat up and looked up at her.
"Okay then, come with me." She held his hand and he stood up and followed her.
She took him to the large empty hall with a soft, slim mattress spread around, where he and Henry fought previously.
"Hm?" Dexter raised a brow as he didn't understand why he was brought here.
"I want to learn how to fight." Hannah went straight to the point, shocking Dexter to hus bones.
Before Dexter could say anything Hannah shut him up.
"It's just that, I feel... useless. Just following you around, only doing what I can to support, when it gets too dangerous you lock me in here." Hannah said with a frown and Dexter smiled bitterly.
'I was protecting you...' Dexter said inwardly.
"Hannah, I..." Dexter sighed as he closed his eyes tightly. He then looked up at her who folded her arms.
"I can't." Dexter said and he looked away.
"But why? You let that little girl fight alongside you and I can't?" Hannah asked him.
"Yes. She's a vampire, it's too dangerous for you." Dexter said as he immediately turned into a bat and flew out of the window.
Hannah was left standing there as she watched Dexter fly further into the grassy field to lay down.
She balled her fists tight as she stomped her foot on the floor.
'Why won't he let me fight with him? Even after I lied to him about me being the werewolf.' Hannah said and then she left the hall to go to the living room downstairs.
...
Dexter was on the field, laying down as he thought about what just happened.
'I just don't want you to get hurt.' Dexter thought as he closed his eyes.
The image of her holding a claw wound on her stomach back at the school was still fresh in his head and he remembered how he felt then.
...
Within the mansion the others were resting and then Hannah walked down the stairs with a sad face.
"Hey, where's Dexter?" Tracy asked as she saw Hannah and Hannah frowned.
"Is something wrong?" She asked.
Tracy saw the annoyed tone of Hannah's voice and she then guessed that something probably transpired while they were together.
"It's just this guy..." Tracy pointed the other end of the room and there Brian layed.
"...we don't know what to do with him." Tracy said and Hannah sighed as she pointed the field outside.
"He's on the field." Hannah said and she walked down and sat on a chair.
"Can you call him? We all are exhausted." Tracy said and Hannah frowned.
"And who said I'm not exhausted?! What did you even do to make you exhausted?!" Hannah said in anger.
"Okay, okay. I'll call him myself." Tracy said as she grunted and stood up, making standing up look so difficult.
Tracy walked out of the doors and then walked towards Dexter and at that moment Hannah sat down with a sigh and closed his eyes.
She remembered Lily beating Tracy who was twice her size with the basic martial art moves that he taught to her.
*Clack Clack!*
Footsteps came from the staircase area and they all turned to see Henry and his dad walking down the stairs.
Henry looked to be in a daze but he shook his head and looked around a second later and he raised a brow.
"Where's Dexter?" He asked as he continued walking down, looking at Hannah.
Seeing that Hannah didn't say anything and only had a calm face he sighed as he already knew what probably happened.
'They probably quarreled again. Tsk, these two.' Henry thought as he gritted his teeth and then the doors opened and Dexter walked in with Tracy.
Dexter looked at Hannah and she didn't look at him at all and only sighed as she walked upstairs, passing Henry and his dad.
"What's her problem? She bumped into me." Alexander asked with furrowed brows but Henry only whispered.
"Couple problems, just leave it." Henry replied and Alexander's brows raised as he nodded.
It made sense.
Dexter only sighed and walked forward and Tracy then pointed towards Brian who probably fell asleep as he was not moving, his eyes were closed and he was breathing.
"We'll abandon him somewhere." Dexter said and then he gazed towards Henry and his Dad.
"I'll take him. I would need help." Alexander said and Dexter raised a brow.
"Need him for what?" He asked as he gazed at Alexander.
"Actually, that's what I want to discuss with you." Henry said as he directed Dexter to sit down.
"I'm leaving with my dad to learn how to use my abilities." Henry said and Dexter gazed at Alexander before turning into a blur and passing henry.
"What did you do to him?"
Henry turned around as Dexter vanished and he looked back to see Alexander being held up by his neck and he panicked.

"Yo, Dexter calm down." Henry said as he tapped Dexter's hand but then he remembered that Alexander was a vampire and he let go.
"Look, I got a quest about my race and it was revealed when he told me." Henry said as he looked at the screen in front of him.
[Quest - Your true potential]
[Description: Go with your dad and learn the way of the warlocks and master your dark abilities.
Rewards: Mastery over dark magic, 2000 Heaven's tower points bonus.
Consequences for failure: Death on the day of Armageddon.]
Henry read out the description for Dexter and Dexter stared at Alexander hard with wide eyes before sighing in defeat.
"Fine." Dexter said as he was down and he looked at Henry.
"You're old enough to make your own decisions. The interface has never been wrong. Just... don't die out there." Dexter said and the others in the room looked at each other.
"Yo, even Henry was a witch all this time?!" Collins said.
"Like for real?!" Jude added and looked at Henry.
"Yes. Not a wizard though, warlock." Henry connected but Jude just shooed him off.
"So that's why I fell into that puddle of mud after I kicked you that day." Tracy nodded and Collins and Jude laughed.
"Wait, you're going now?" Dexter asked and Henry nodded.
"The earlier the better." Henry said before he walked over and picked up the sleeping Brian.
"Wait, before you go, take this and be safe." Dexter said as he walked towards henry before putting his hand on Henry's shoulder.
A black substance came out of Dexter's skin from every part of his body and it began entering Henry's body.
The others found it disgusting as the goo looked slimy and it moved as it wrapped Henry up.
"What is thi-?" Henry asked but a screen which appeared in front of him shut him up.
"Woah." Henry mumbled ì⁸as he saw the description and the black goo was absorbed inside his body.
Henry looked at his hand and then a black goo extended, becoming as thin as a knife and sharp and Henry smiled as he looked at Dexter.
"Thanks man. It's even an Unranked item." Henry said and dropped Brian before giving Dexter a big hug.
"Yo I want one too." Collins said with a frown and Dexter looked at Henry.
"You better go before I take it back." Dexter said as he pointed his hand in the direction of the door and a blue portal opened up.
Henry grabbed Brian and Dexter touched him before removing the silver chain which binded Brian and Henry then put the sleeping man on his shoulder.
"I'll be seeing you in a while." Henry said before he left through the portal with his dad.
"Damn, I'm so tired that I can no longer be amazed and scared about all that has happened." Jude said and Dexter walked to a couch and sat down before dismissing the portal.
"Go talk to Hannah. She's upset." Tracy whispered into Dexter's ears and Dexter looked away with a frown.
"Just do it! Look, we can't be having this kind of quarell, the apocalypse just got worse! So please, go and talk things out, and then get your ass down here so we can discuss what to do next!" Tracy said out loud and Dexter sighed as he went up the stairs.
