Dion slowly relaxed and his body returned to normal. He composed himself.
"You gave me a nice shocker. What makes you think I'm a Hexz?" Dion asked.
"Although I'm not a person with keen observation apart from when I'm hunting, I am not stupid. Do you remember when we first escaped? You slept from dusk till dawn. I never thought much of it, but when you carried Lorraine to leave, she slept without noticing anything like a dead person. Even the disturbance didn't wake her. You know, I read that you can easily find Hexz when they just awakened because of their inability to stay awake at night."
Dion stared at her calmly, but his heart was galloping wildly. He had to retake his evaluation of her. Previously, when he left with Karen, he never thought much about it because of his paranoia. Also, meeting Valka again felt distant and impossible… or he already crossed her as dead.
But the future is unpredictable.
