534 Only hope* (1/2)

”Alex!” Abi called him, but Alex couldnt even look at his wife. He cant afford to get distracted even for a moment. He wouldnt mind playing with the dragons fire, but it was completely different when his wife was in his arms. He cant be reckless anymore. He cant even attack.

”Im listening.” He could only reply, his gaze burning as his focus remained fixated on the dragons attacks.

”Zekes speaking with me!” Abi told him, and Alex hissed under his breath.

”Zeke? Where the f.u.c.k is he?” he cursed, frustration evident in his voice. ”What is he saying?” he then asked as he dodged another fireball, causing Abi to yelp in surprise because of Alexs sudden and utterly fast movement.

But she quickly gathered her wits, and her grip on Alex tightened as she spoke. ”He said he found an exit!”

”Where?”

”He said I must order Zeres to break the ceiling to make a hole.”

She saw Alexs brows creased. ”We cant do that!” he said as he dodged another series of attacks. ”The cavern will collapse and bury everyone if Zeres break it by force. The ceiling is thick! And we cant let that woman get out of this abyss, or itll be harder to restrain her.” Alex explained. Abi looked down and saw that the abyss was slowly being devoured by nothing but fire.

And she could see their comrades still down there. There was no escape for them. Vampires dont have wings to fly. They could leap, but the ceiling was too high, and they were all battered and weakened to their knees.

”He said its okay,” Abi answered. ”He said theres an ideal spot at the left side of the ceiling that Zeres could break. He said the ceiling wouldnt collapse if Zeres will go for that spot. Its that spot where his voice is coming from.” Abi pointed not at the center of the ceiling but the ceilings far left side.

Alex had just glanced at where Abi was pointing when Dinah almost got them with her massive wings.

”F*ck.” Alex cursed. Knowing that they had no choice, Alex could only agree before even seeing the spot Abi was talking about. ”Okay, call Zeres now!”

With Alexs approval, Abi didnt hesitate anymore and she closed her eyes. It didnt take long for her to be able to speak with the dragon. And while speaking with Zeres, Abi heard Alicias voice. Shes alive!

A moment later, Zeres emerged from the burning cavern. Abigail never heard Zeres voice, but the dragon was listening to her call without hesitation.
