Deep down, Dexter knew it was a futile attempt for him to get away from this current situation. He wouldn’t be able to save Aria.
But still, he didn’t stop running with her on his back. She was too shocked to move when she finally realized she lost her parents and the people that she knew.
They didn’t have time to wait until she could get over her grief. They had to move as far as they could, that was the only slim chance they had.
"Why? Why did you do it?" Aria asked, crying. She shook her head, as if she wanted to get rid of the noise in her head. People were crying and screaming and that sound would be forever etched in her mind. "Why? What have done wrong that you wanted to kill us?"
Dexter couldn’t answer her question. He didn’t know how to answer that. The only thing that he knew he had to get her away from his people and for the aftermath, he would think about it once they were safe.
However, they had never reached the safety, because a second later two portals were created close to him and four magic users walked out from there, followed by his father, Zeke.
Dexter had never seen his father was so angry like right now, his face turned very red when he raised his hand and attacked his son.
Thankfully, Dexter was agile enough to dodge the attack, but with Aria was on his back, it was pretty difficult to move.
Both of them stumbled and fell to the soft sands, Aria was crying because the look on their faces were very terrifying, as if she could feel their killing intention.
"Stop this, Dexter." Zeke didn’t raise his voice, but that made him looked even more scary. "You know that you don’t have a chance to fight."
"Father, please..." Dexter had never asked anything to his father. He was an obedient child. He listened to what his father said and never refused any of his order. "I want her."
But, he wanted this woman.
Zeke narrowed his eyes. This was the first time Dexter rebelled like this. He had never done this before and he didn’t think he was capable of doing this.
As it turned out, he was completely wrong. This was the desire that he had to be warry about.
"You want her?"
"I want her, father. Spare her life."
Zeke didn’t say anything. He waved his hand and suddenly Aria stood up and strangled Dexter’s neck. It didn’t take a genius to know that Aria was being mind controlled by his own father. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
"You still couldn’t do it, right?" Zeke asked, his voice was extremely cold and unforgiving, as if he currently didn’t try to kill his own son.
If there was one flaw of Dexter it must be the fact that he couldn’t use mind control. He was still young, there was still a lot of possibilities, there was a chance that his power had not yet fully developed.
Therefore, this was the best opportunity for Zeke to see whether Dexter had a knack to mind control or not.
"Father!" Dexter roared. He couldn’t use his magic against Aria. "Stop this!"
Under the influence, Aria was so strong, she managed to push him down to the sands, while the other magic users watched everything unfolded.
"Fight back. If you didn’t want to die, fight back."
Dexter couldn’t do that. He gathered his power, but he couldn’t do any harm on her. He didn’t have a heart to do so.
Therefore, Dexter resorted to push her away by using his magic, which sent her body flew backward and fell to the ground with a harsh sound.
"Aria!" Dexter immediately scrambled to get to her, but two magic users used barrier to stop him, which he couldn’t take it down easily, while he watched one magic user approached Aria. "NO! DON’T YOU DARE TO TOUCH HER! DON’T YOU DARE TO TOUCH HER!"
In his rage, Dexter managed to take down the barrier and then rushed toward Aria and the other magic user, he attacked him and killed him.
It came as a shock for him, because this was the first time he killed someone.
However, he couldn’t care less about it.
Aria was still under his father’s influence, but he couldn’t harm her with his magic, since his magic was an offensive magic.
"Stop this father!" Dexter roared. "I have done everything that you told me to do! Now, stop this!"
Zeke growled, but he didn’t say anything. He only stared at his son for a long time, while he tried to pin down Aria.
In the end, Zeke waved his hand. His voice was so cold when he spoke again.
"She will not want to be with you. Whether I used my power or not, she will never be one of us. She will find an opportunity to kill you."
