Chapter 15 - I will survive

*swooosh*

The flow of water hitting the rocks, woke dexter up with his nose completely red and his whole body frozen in place

".....so its day now, sigh and I didn't die"

Leaving your body in the center of the cold could be fatal and the same goes for dexter

The light from above shines bright even in the cave making dexter see his whole surrounding

He sat down and tilt his head with all his might the cold disappeared as the water flowing in the river become warm maybe because of the sun brightly shining today

Dexter looked in every direction just to find nothing but water around him

"Sigh and here I thought I could find something to eat"

Dexter felt the inside of his stomach being torn apart and eaten but it didn't hurt much maybe cause he don't move that much to be precise he can't move at all

Dexter touched his legs and it didn't even sting or feel anything with it it's like its senses that have been connected to dexter all his life has been cut off

The coldness of the dead leg is colder than the water that is flowing everywhere in this cave

"tsk this goddamn weak body of mine"

Dexter felt irritated as he remember that he's now a handicapped person with both his leg completely dead,

"Goddamnit,.....*groooooowl~*.....I need to eat"

The sound of Dexter's stomach rang in the whole cave, he touched his belly completely flat that he can feel his bone sticking out

"I thought I only skipped my meal a day ago?"

Dexter mumbled as he thought that the way his stomach felt to the touch and looks like is something you can find in someone who didn't have anything to eat in one month but he clearly just didn't eat for one day

'Is it because I didn't eat much back in my house'

Dexter thought as he scratched his cold pale stomach

*groooooowl!*

the sound of his belly begging for food and nutrient but dexter ignored its plead and said under his breathe

"Just calm down for a second will you?"

"urk!.....I just said calm down"

Dexter said as he felt immense pain in his stomach he rubbed his belly up and down as the pain seize to go away and just keep on getting worst

"urrk!!, one p...ain after ....another.....did I do something that bad in my life?"

Dexter said with a feeling of hatred on fate itself he didn't do anything that bad to experience all this shitty pain and dying adventure

His vision becomes blurry every second and his body starts to collapse

The water splash around him as his body lay flat in the shallow river of the cave

He felt his body ready to say goodbye and abandon him as he felt completely tired even though he just woke up

With his eyelids becoming heavy as an anvil dexter bite his lips deep with all his strength given his condition, it didn't bleed and the teeth didn't travel that far into his skin

Dexter thanks his meek strength as it gives him another second to live

'I know this way I could die peacefully with *some* of my body still intact and not in the stomach of some monsters but....'

Dexter tilts his head high in the hole. there he saw the sun brightly shining for him. with a smirk on his face. dexter thought

'How terrifying is it?. dying'

"Urrrk!!"

The pain in his stomach continues, and his blurry vision is still in effect but his weary eyes are slowly gaining energy for it to stay awake for that dexter is already thankful

Even if the pain isn't going away dexter crawled in the ground in the nearest place he can find

He put his hand in the shallow water and as he put his whole bodies pressure into that hands...it start to Hubble and collapse to the ground

His arm becomes tired with just that action and thinking of crawling is no longer an option for dexter

"damn it....so this is where the luck has come from when I was being chased by that fuckin giant ant .... so fate wants me to die later than sooner huh?"

Dexter mumbled thinking that this is where his luck has come from and this is where it will also end

"Nope, I won't die that easily...its scary!"

Dexter said as he tried to stand up with both his arm but one started to wobble away toward the ground leaving him off balance

Using the tip of his finger which is his other hand that is still in the ground he tried to use it as a force to drive him in the direction he wanted to go

But his finger slips in the rock under the shallow water making the plan he just thought off completely useless

"tsk, another one"

Dexter mumbled as he try to stand up again using both his arms but before he can completely stretch his arm

The one who first give up earlier give up once again but it's all part of Dexter's little plan so using his fall he uses his arm like a slingshot to shoot him even if all he did will just make him reach a place where you can normally go when with just one step

*splash*

The water splash as dexter body moved for.....three inches which are pretty saddening considering all the movement he did

But Dexter's mind isn't in the point to think how far he has gotten, a small smile appeared on his face as his complete worry slowly disappeared

"Ha, it fuckin works...."

".....hehehhehehehhe it fuckin works!!"

He said unable to shout as he's voice started to diminish cause of dehydration

"Let's do that again"

Dexter said as he stretch both his arm and this time the other one didn't give up at all

He looked in his arm who is weak a moment ago become full of energy

"weeew!!, I can do even better this time"

He looked in the darkness ahead of him and a red shard near it, and the reason he start to approach is the shard might be something useful

"Here I go"
