Vampire God in the Apocalypse

"So you lost control?" Leo asked to clarify and Dexter nodded.

Leo then sighed.

"Come with me."

"Hm? To where?" Dexter asked.

"You didn\'t even think about finding time to learn how to control your abilities." Leo said and Dexter looked down and realized it was true.

He was just too busy thinking about his family and didn\'t think about anything else.

Dexter and Leo were supposed to go to the forest in a few hours so they didn\'t have much time.

They headed towards a nearby building that was a hundred metres away from the camp and they then stopped.

"Well. What we\'ll be learning today would be how to control the bloodlust and your transformation." Leo said. "Zain would do a better job at teaching but I wasn\'t sure if you\'ll want him to find out."

"Hm? He can know. You\'re saying it like it\'s a crime to be a vampire." Dexter smirked.

"Nah. I\'ll just do my best. Let\'s start with the bloodlust. How does it feel?"

"It feels like I\'m passing by Mr Freddy\'s restaurant on an empty stomach. The scent of the blood is even stronger than that of fried chips and sometimes I can\'t even control movements and my body wants to act on it\'s own."

"What about normally?"

"Normally I can stand being close to people. It\'s not hard, although hunger is a bad thing, it\'s still bearable. However at times my vision turns red and all I can see and smell is blood." Dexter explains and Leo notices how severe his situation was.

Leo thought hard. He wasn\'t exactly an expert when it came to vampires but he was sure that if bloodlust was like hunger, there must be a way to go about it.

"Wait... you said that it\'s just like hunger right, but more severe?" He asked and Dexter nodded.

"How do you get your mind off of hunger?"

Dexter held his chin as he thought about what Leo asked.

"Things that get my mind off of hunger... my mom\'s slap and my girlfriend." Dexter said and he wondered why he never thought of it.

"Bingo. That\'s your solution." Leo snapped his fingers.

"Hmm? Okay. But how do we test it?" Dexter asked and Leo then became dumbfounded as he looked around at their location.

It was very desolate and zombies passed by the building rarely.

"How bout zombie blood?" Leo asked.

"Zombie blood is losing its taste. Ever since i tasted human blood, it isnt just as sweet anymore. I tried to drink some this morning before we go hunting as I don\'t want to take chances, it didn\'t taste good." Dexter said and the Leo then turned to him.

"Okay, we\'re going to skip today\'s exploration." Leo said while coming closer to him. "For today, we\'re going to train you on how to control your bloodlust."

"Yeah, but there is no blood source." Dexter sighed and Leo laughed lightly.

"Aren\'t I human? Blood is basically running through my veins." Leo spread his arms and Dexter\'s eyes widened.

"You... you\'re not saying...?"

"Yes. Brother. I\'ll be the blood source. Just focus on controlling it and don\'t worry about me."

Dexter just frowned while looking at Leo\'s neck and Leo noticed it.

"Nah. I get tickled easily so you can use my wrist. All you have to do is stay close and not bite." Leo said with a nod but Dexter was still uncertain.

"What if I bite?"

"I\'ll freeze your teeth." Leo said with a grin and Dexter swallowed as he got closer to Leo.

He then breathed and brought Leo\'s wrist a few centimeters away from his nose and mouth and he calmed himself down.

The sound of Leo\'s veins pulsing loudly reached his ears and he opened his eyes to see the veins glowing red, alluring him to suck from them.

His scelera was black, and his pupils were glowing red, making him look like a demon.

"Now, do the things that keep your mind off of hunger." Leo said and his voice managed to reach Dexter at that moment.

Dexter began to think about the most effective thing, his girlfriend.

How she always managed to make him smile, how she always cleared his mind from stress and worries.

He smiled and his fangs showed from the corner of his lips. His scelera then turned white, leaving a beautiful crimson pupil in his eyes.

"So?" Leo asked as he began to feel Dexter\'s breath grazing his skin.

"It\'s better. Although I can still feel it. It\'s not as strong as before." Dexter said as he then turned around and closed his eyes.

He then felt the blood flowing in his body and focused on his arm to control it not to rip Leo apart.

He breathed out and opened his eyes before looking at both of his hands. There were extra long fingernails, 5cm each and they were pointy and sharp, made for ripping flesh.

He then turned around to look at Leo. His eyes were still glowing and his skin looked brighter for some reason.

"So?" Leo asked again.

"Thank you. It\'s better now." He said with a smile. "But I\'m still hungry."

Dexter licked his lips and Leo furrowed his brows before summoning his armour and sword to defend himself.

"Hahahahahaha...!!!" Dexter laughed out loud, making Leo still on his guard. "I was just joking."

"It wasn\'t funny." Leo said as he walked out of the house and Dexter followed behind as he controlled his claws to retract and extract at will.

"Hmph." Leo harrumphed as he turned around. "I\'m already good at teaching."

Before he could say anything else the sky multiple shadows which belonged to creatures casted over them and they looked up to see a flock of large mutated, blue birds flying towards the camp.

"Damn. It\'s those pigeons again." Leo said before charging at the camp and Dexter followed.
