Fear of death

Dexter has been afraid to leave the world or to die, but the youngster didn't have this type of fear at his younger age

And when his young maybe seven, thanks to his young mind he even started to think that an invention will be created to clear the phenomena called death and for humanity to live infinitely or to be an immortal

The reason why dexter fear death isn't because of knowing that humanity might not be able to invent something to make humans immortal in his lifetime, but a different one

and the reason for the young man's fear is still clear in his mind and something he can't forget

It is because of his uncle a man that lives in a jungle surrounded by animal's and nature

His uncle owned a gun cause the job Dexter's uncle have is hunting, a job that might be illegal because laws are being created against them or maybe the law is only bound in the place where the youngster lives

*bang*

The sound of the gun as it shoot a fast bullet hitting the deer meters away in its head, killing it in one hit

"Hurry up, kid, or the predators here might smell our lunch"

A guy holding a gun said while looking at a fragile-looking child wearing tight clothes revealing the child's little limbs

With a close look, the child can be mistaken as a doll as its small cute figure and the kid's adorable face can be expressed as an inhuman cuteness

The kid huffed with the sweat from his long journey clinging all around his face, the kid looked up and said

"Uncle....h.a .slow down please!"

Seeing the child climbing up the mountain with a dying expression the child's uncle can't help but sigh as he reaches his free hand at the kid

"Kid, you might need to exercise when we get back"

"Booooo!, I don't want to, exercising is just for adults, uncle I'm still a child here"

The kid said in a childish tone as he reach for his uncle's big hand

Feeling the soft texture of the kid's hand that felt like it didn't receive any kind of work, his uncle pull him up to his side

"Here we go"

Dexter's uncle muttered as he pull the small child which is dexter, toward his side

"Thanks, uncle"

Dexter said as the sweat fall from the side of his face

"Sure, sure, let's just hurry now, I hope our dinner didn't get stolen"

His uncle said as he cling to his gun and slowly walk toward his prey while glancing to his back every second to see if the child is failing to follow with his movement

"hup"

Dexter said as he jump up from the small stick ahead of him

He then looked up and said to his uncle

"Uncle, uncle"

His uncle stop his foot and without even asking any question quickly carried the small child in his arms

The kid is so small for his age which is seven so the uncle didn't even put much effort into carrying the kid as its weight is like a feather

Dexter shouted with a bit of embarrassment

"Uncle put me down!"

With the kid so close to his ears, hearing the scream he's uncle reacted as he felt surprised by the sudden burst of sound

"The fuck"

He then scratched his ear and said to the kid with a serious expression

"I thought you were tired and want me to carry you?"

Dexter answered as he look in the wooden gun beside him, as curiosity fill the kids

"Uncle, uncle, I'm just gonna ask something?"

"really?. ouch! my ear"

His uncle said as he slowly kneel to the ground so the kid can leave his hand

While kneeling on the ground, the uncle asked dexter who is slowly reaching the ground with one of his foot

"Kid what do you want to ask me?"

"...."

The child remain silent until dexter finally got his foot to reach the ground with one of his shoes reaching the leaves on the ground, dexter finally got out to he's uncle grasp

"Uncle, uncle I want to ask what a predator is?, and,....what a 'The fuck' is"

His uncle pull his legs out of the ground and said to dexter

"Well a predator is something that eats the prey that I caught"

"Uncle are they, bad guys"

Dexter said with his eyes beaming with curiosity

"Well....I guess they are?"

Dexter uncle said as he think of what to say to the kid, a word that can make the child happy,

"Uncle, uncle you beat predators right!!"

"Yeah, so kid when you see a predator also beat them up"

The uncle said without taking his own words seriously and just said it to make the kid understand what he do to the stealers without saying the word 'kill' cause the kid's father might kill him

As they walk toward the warm corpse of the deer, Dexter's uncle felt a small force pulling the side of his trouser

Knowing what it is he's uncle didn't even take a look behind and said

"What kid are you gonna ask something again ?"

"..."

But just the sound of silence filled their conversation, making the uncle feel extremely worried,

He quickly look behind to see if maybe the kid has gotten lost or maybe stop from walking cause it has gotten tired but he saw the kid walking just fine beside him

"Well, kiddo you need something?"

The uncle said as he look at the kid walking without making a single sound

"Uncle, I won't tell anyone so you don't need to worry"

Dexter said as he look at his uncle like it's his idol

"Won't tell anyone what"

His uncle said as he saw the kid glancing toward him in a weird way

"I won't tell it here cause something might hear us"

Dexter said as he stare in he's uncle with his eyes beaming in curiosity

'What is this kid thinking what if he said something weird to his father'

Dexter's uncle thought as he glance toward the kid while being a little nervous cause of the kid's gaze
