LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 45 – Spring
In the end, Vincent wasn’t able to wait for Klaye’s call. He suddenly appeared, grabbed Klaye’s hand, and took him away.
Klaye promised to Dedra to visit him later and obediently followed his lover.
Watching the harmonious couple, Dedra felt sad. He didn’t know if anyone would love him so deeply.
The zombie stood next to him and touched his face. His cold fingers hesitantly moved and tried to caress his cheek. „Don’t... cry?”
Dedra laughed out loud. The zombie learned how to do this and that after seeing it once or twice, yet he had problems with memorizing the words. His mentality developed rapidly and was on the same level as a 10 years old kid. Because of this, he could understand almost everything he heard, so Dedra didn’t found out why he couldn’t use the right words.
„It’s ’don’t be sad’!” Dedra corrected him.
„No...” he moved his cold fingers and touched Dedra’s eye. „Tear...”
Dedra remembered he cried on Klaye’s shoulder and sighed. „You are so slow! Do you know how many hours passed?! Don’t tell me your knowledge will disappear if you don’t eat brains for a while...”
The zombie suddenly hugged him. „No... stupid!... I... clever!”
Dedra saw the zombie became unreasonable as a kid and gave in. „Okay, okay! You are clever! You are the wisest zombie I ever saw!”
The zombie was happy and tried to smile as he saw from the humans, but Dedra only felt his back was cold. He didn’t know what to do. Even if the zombie had a 30 years old man’s body, Dedra felt that he adopted a bear kid...
„Now if I think about it, I didn’t give you a name yet.” Dedra removed the hands hugging him and stepped back. „Is there any name you like?”
The zombie was confused and looked around. His eyes stopped on something. „... Blood.”
Dedra facepalmed. Why the hell did he ask him?! „Blood? What are you, a vampire?... Oh!” he pointed at him. „Then from now on, you are Draku La Pire! Hahaha! Pire, my bear child! Let daddy hug you!”
The zombie saw Dedra stretches out his arms and happily went over to hug him. He still didn’t understand the pit his ’daddy’ burrow for him.
And Dedra was the same. He happily laughed and made fun of Pire. He enjoyed himself and never thought years later he would be forced to pay back...
Months passed, and the long-waited spring finally arrived. The feared big animals’ or zombies’ attack never happened. Future city had an easy winter. The residents had warm places to live and enough food to eat. They almost forgot about the catastrophe that destroyed their peaceful life.
The researchers worked hard to study and modify the plants. A lot of them were unable to stay alive in the changing environment, and some of them became poisonous. They needed to found the right ones they could produce. The surrounding villages were already empty, and there weren’t enough volunteer plants.
Klaye read some documents about this on Vincent’s desk, but he didn’t really understand these things. It was enough for him to know, everything was on the right tack.
The weather became warmer, and Klaye lazily looked outside. Recently, he remembered Stupy promise and waited for his news. He wanted to see how many cubs he had.
It was in the middle of April when a wolf came with news. Queen spoke with him and they agreed to meet after 3 days, outside of the city. It was a good chance to have a picnic with some friends.
Vincent chose the place, Klaye and Egbert prepared the sandwiches and spices. The wolves promised to bring some prey. And Lex ran around to find some good wine.
Klaye sent an invitation to Dedra, but he refused. His belly was big and he never left his laboratory. Klaye tried to persuade him to move into their villa, but Dedra said it was better to stay in the hospital. When the time comes, he could go to the maternity ward right away.
The place they chose wasn’t far from the city. They even saw the wall if they looked back.
Klaye was a little absent-minded. He helped the others to prepare their camp, but he looked back time after time. He knew Dedra wouldn’t come, but he didn’t get any answer from Suzana. Recently, he hardly saw her and it made him sad. He didn’t know what made her so busy.
A little later, 3 big wolves appeared. The leader pulled a deer behind him. It was 3 times bigger than him. Seeing it, Vincent’s and Lex’s eyes lit up. They happily took it away and prepared the barbeque.
Klaye looked around and he finally saw Stupy. But he didn’t saw any cub. Klaye was confused, but Queen lifted one of her paws and pointed at a wolf.
’Look at its back.’
The wolf laid down and 3 wolves’ cub jumped down from its back. Stupy went there and pulled one of the cubs over to Klaye. He put it in front of his legs and happily barked.
Klaye squatted down and touched the cub’s head. It was playful and gently bit his hand. „They’re beautiful. Congratulation!”
Stupy barked and became irritated after a while. He poked Queen with his nose.
’Shut up, stupid dog! I’m not a translator!’ Queen scratched his nose. She watched Stupy sad eyes and sighed. ’He wants to ask if the kids can stay in the city for a while. He hopes they can learn from the dogs... But I’m sure, he just wants them to taste the food! So don’t promise him anything!’
Klaye laughed and caressed Queen’s head. „Okay, I know. No one will eat your chicken wings!”
Queen wanted to explain it, but Stupy laughed at her. She forgot how annoying this dog was and went to give him a big painful lesson.
Klaye didn’t care about their fight, he was used to it. He hugged the cub and looked at the other two.
Egbert was next to them and he was interested in them too. He grabbed them and checked their appearance. „This one’s body different. He seems to inherit his mother’s ability. Now there will be more bizarre dogs on the streets.”
„It’s okay. The livelier the better.” Klaye smiled.
They went over to look at the men’s work. Today Lex promised to do the barbeque and Vincent agreed with him. They worked hard to show their best side.
After half an hour, they saw a land rover approach them, and a familiar voice echoed. „Hey, Klaye!”
Klaye looked back and saw Suzana almost fell out of the car’s window. She happily waved at them. „Sorry for being late! But I want to introduce someone to you!”
Before the car completely stopped, Suzana jumped out and ran to Klaye. She hugged his arm and pulled him over. „She’s a nice person! I was saved by her!”
Egbert walked behind them. „Saved?! You went out again without telling it to anyone?!”
For a moment, Suzana’s body froze, then she changed the subject. „She’s the leader of a wandering team. She said the life is harder outside, and she hopes to find a good place to stay. Can you help me say some good words about this city? I want them to stay! You know... It was love at first sight!”
Klaye saw his friend’s shining eyes and sighed. He would help if he could, but he couldn’t influence other’s choices.
A tall and strong woman with short hair came out of the car. She wasn’t the type that was easy to handle.
Klaye watched Suzana ran over and hugged her. He murmured. „Did she said ’love at first sight’?”
Egbert blankly nodded. „It will be more problematic this way. If she chooses to leave, the Machart family will be desperate...”
Suzana smiled at them. „Let me introduce her to you! She is Nikole Sabin! The woman who I pursue!”
Klaye’s face darkened. „... Just leave it to her family!”
Egbert nodded, and they went over to introduce themselves.
Nikole wasn’t interested in little talk and went to help with the barbeque. She was a straightforward person and easily became friends with them.
They played around the whole afternoon and only chose to pack up and go back after dark.
Klaye watched the wolves disappear in the night and looked up at the sky. The shining stars bewitched him, and he fell into his memories. It was almost a year before when he looked up at the sky. But that day it was raining, and he couldn’t see anything. That time he was just infected, and his heart was desperate. But now, he was full of hope and happiness. He couldn’t believe only a year was enough to completely change everything.
Klaye was hugged from behind, and he felt the familiar smell. He smiled. „Vincent, do you believe that after a human dies, they lost their memories and reborn as someone else?”
Vincent turned him over and looked into his eyes. „I believe! But I never forget about you! If I reborn, I’ll go and find you! So if that time comes, wait for me!”
Klaye nodded and hugged Vincent’s neck. He closed his eyes and tried to stop his tears. Because he knew Vincent’s soul only existed in this world. But once he died, he couldn’t come back to him...
Dedra stayed in his laboratory and watched his phone. Klaye sent him the place where they went. He thought about it a lot and chose to go out. He needed a little fresh air. He closed Pire in the lab and walked away. He went up with the elevator, but the moment he stepped out, he heard some noises. His hearing was better than anyone, and sometimes he really hated it. This time too. He wished he didn’t hear anything, because there was a familiar voice.
Dedra stood there for a while, then chose to go to the way of the noises. He walked slowly and after some minutes, he stopped in front of one of the nurses’ dressing-room. With his ability, he opened the lock and the door.
A young nurse with big breasts was pressed against the wall, and her legs were wrapped around the man’s waist. The man moved her hip and sometimes bit her neck. They had a good time and didn’t realize they got an onlooker.
Dedra’s mouth twitched. Even if he didn’t want, he could see they didn’t use any protection. This was why he hated his abilities. He wished to dig out his eyes.
After his photos were seen by everyone on the net, Howard visited him for the next 6 days, then disappeared. He never thought the next time he would see him would be this kind of case...
Howard felt that someone was looking at him and stopped. When he looked over, he saw Dedra’s indifferent eyes. As if he looked at something disgusting on the side of the road. Originally Howard was sure if he waited some months and try again, Dedra would forgive him. But now he could see in his eyes he lost his last chance.
Dedra didn’t say anything. He turned away and went back to his laboratory.
Howard wanted to go after him and try to say something, but he didn’t know what.
The nurse felt his confusion and grabbed his neck. „Dear! If you dare to leave me in this kind of situation...” she smiled, but it didn’t reach her eyes. „I! Kill! You!”
Howard felt the power in those hands and swallowed. He obediently worked harder.
He met with this nurse 2 months before. The woman said to him she had the same thunder ability. She wanted to give birth to a child with a stronger ability and asked him to make her pregnant. Because of his cold war with Dedra, he promised it, but he didn’t know the nurse had body strengthening ability too. Because of it, he became her slave and couldn’t run away. He wished to make her pregnant early and leave. But his wish only came true after 20 years, when they had 3 sons and a daughter. At that time, the nurse finally found a man with better ability and threw him out...
