399 Phantom

"Alex…" Abi called out and was about to approach him but Alex lifted his hand, stopping her.

"I'm fine now. I just need to cool down. Wait for me, Abigail. I'll be back," he told her and after glancing at Zeke one last time, he leapt and dove into the water, not giving Abi another chance to approach him.

She retracted her hand and wiped the remnants of her tears from her eyes. She couldn't stop him from going back but she was a little relieved because he looked much better compared to how he looked a while ago.

Her feet were about to move closer to the water when someone suddenly grabbed her from behind. Abi's heart almost jumped out of her chest in surprise.

"Z-zeke?!" she uttered as she turned. Abi turned back to look at him and she looked a little shaken when she saw his face. This time, Zeke was the one looking at her with that seemingly unquenchable hunger.
