Chapter 69: 69. Kila & the covens
More than one kilometer away from their position, Brian walked forward with his compass in front of him which pointed the direction of Dexter.
It had a faint, red light on the arrow.
''Hm?'' Brian was shocked as the red light on the arrow suddenly dimmed and he turned the compass, thinking that something broke.
*ROARR!!*
Brian raised his head up in that second and his grey eyes located the direction which the sound came from.
He clicked his tongue in annoyance and proceeded to hide from what was lurking in the woods.
'You can't hide forever.' Brian eyes gleamed with coldness.
...
Inside Dexter's mini dimension, a portal appeared within the living room of the mansion.
Kila was immediately astonished and surprised about the place. She looked around and looked outside to see the sky dark with stars and a big moon which bathed the vast grassland which the mansion was on.
''Where is this place? What sort of magic is this?'' She asked him.
''It's a separate dimension that doesn't exist on earth. It's quite small really.'' Dexter said in a low voice.
He spent a lot of his spirit energy and stamina while fighting Brian, he needed his energy.
''Brother!!!'' A blur flashed past the flight of stairs and Lily jumped on Dexter with an embrace.
Dexter was ready and caught her before twirling.
''It hasn't even been four hours since I left.'' He chuckled.
Lily hugged him tightly.
''I couldn't sleep.'' She said with a smile as she released Dexter from the hug.
She suddenly looked confused as she saw someone who was foreign to her.
''Another vampire?'' Kila looked fascinated. ''But not a normal one.''
Kila stepped forward and and Lily stepped backwards cautiously.
''Lily, this is Kila, a vampire like us.'' He introduced them to each other.
''Wow. You're cute.'' Kila made grabbing motions as she moved towards Lily but the little girl immediately hid behind Dexter's back.
'Brother brought her here. Can we trust her?'
Dexter's eyes widened as he could hear Lily's thoughts so he tried to talk to her.
'Lily, can you hear me?' He thought while looking at her and she looked up to his face.
'I'm guessing you can.' He thought again and she nodded.
'Even if we can't trust her, she's not a threat here.' Dexter smiled.
He wasn't joking. As he was the one who wore rhe dimension ring, anything he wanted to happen can happen here.
''Wow. So both of you already learned the telepathy ability?''
''Telepathy?'' Dexter mumbled, knowing the meaning of what the word means.
'Communicating through the mind.' He noted.
''But you can't hear us," Dexter said and she nodded.
"And that makes me want to know which coven you come from the more," she said as she came towards him with her claws out.
Despite seeing her claws, Dexter was still calm in front of her.
"Why don't you sit down and tell me things that I don't know," Dexter said as he stretched his hand sideways and a blood bag flew into the living room and into her hands.
"Bribing me with blood eh?" She said in a calm tone but her eyes shone in excitement.
"Okay. But you'll tell me the witch coven that turned you, I think I would know which did it." She nodded.
'This girl. I wonder how I'm supposed to explain the item.' Dexter thought.
"By how you have been speaking, I know that you're a newborn so I'll go into detail," she said before she began explaining things about how vampires work.
...
"So there was a line which separated the supernatural world and the natural world."
"Exactly, but when the tiran impact came, all the natural laws of the world were nullified. I'm surprised that you haven't come across a witch or a werewolf this entire time." Kila chuckled at Dexter's shock.
According to kila, in the world before the apocalypse began, the supernatural lived along humans.
But there was a line drawn by people who keep the balance. This line separates the supernatural world and the physical world, limiting supernatural creatures from doing certain things. These people are called... the witches.
The supernatural and the natural world merged after the tiran impact.
"It's a miracle I didn't run into any of them." Dexter mumbled.
"So?" Kila looked at him as if expecting something.
"What?" Dexter asked.
"How did you turn?" She asked him while coming closer.
"I drank vampire blood." He said calmly and she became curious.
"Whose?"
Dexter sighed.
"Here's how I got it..."
He proceeded to tell her about how he got the vampire blood as a reward and she was astonished.
"So there are rewards like that?" Kila was shocked.
Dexter only nodded as he ran his fingers through Lily's hair as she slept on his laps.
"That would mean that you're not part of any covens. Do you have any special skills?" She asked.
"Nope. Can telepathy or Shape-shifting be special?" He asked.
"No." Kila replied as she fell into deep thought.
Dexter just relaxed on his sofa as looked at his spirit energy which was currently regenerating.
[Spirit energy: 55/330 (regen. = 1 per minute)]
"Hm? How about you tell me about vampires covens?" He said and she snapped out of her thoughts.
"Oh, okay then." She cleared her throat.
"There are four vampire covens currently; the snow coven which I am from have a unique trait which is our white hair..."
"The second coven is the sagittarius coven. They are the vegans of the vampire world, going a long time without drinking blood. Despite the fact that they do not drink blood, they are still quite powerful."
"The third coven is one that is quite scary to talk about, the Drakes. They are known for their ability to manifest wings and finger nails known as talons. They are very ruthless in killing and has done a lot of bad things in the supernatural world."
"The final and last coven is currently the most powerful of them all, the bloodborns. They are pure descendants of Dracula and they can control mysterious power known as blood will."
"So? Any of the covens ring a bell?" She asked but Dexter shook his head.
'That guy I saw on the road while coming to Serene had white hair, I think he's from snow coven.' Dexter thought. 'So he's a vampire too?'
Dexter cleared everything from his mind and decided to focus on the current issue and problem.
"What about Brian? You said that he wasn't a human." He reminded her and Kila nodded.
"Yes, he's a creature known as a Dhampir. A half human, half vampire creature." She explained. "His entire family was murdered by a vampire and now he seeks to destroy us all. He has a mysterious weapon and can find us easily. Most vampires are scared of running into him."
"Most?"
"Yes. The leaders of the covens are not scared of him, but only his weapon."
"His weapon?" Dexter furrowed his brows as he remembered the feeling of danger whenever he was close to the weapon.
