Dexter woke up and saw his impaled body. He knew that he was very lucky to have survived.
Just before the fear had attacked him, he had used his willpower to protect his body.
Ana ran over to him to see if he was still fine.
"I am alright just a bit sore." Dexter said as he got up with great difficulty.
"Dexter you have to hurry, he is on his way to your mind flame."
Dexter knew how serious this was and he immediately tried to get up but fell to the floor again.
Physically he wasn't hurt but his willpower was badly injured and right now he was losing his willpower.
His rank began to drop drastically, from the Master level to the professional level to the amateur level.
At this rate he would lose all his willpower making him an idiot.
Ana saw that the situation was not good immediately raised her hand and started to pump in yellow energy into his body.
Dexter who was at the brink of losing all his willpower immediately felt more comfortable and the lose of his willpower stopped.
Then he saw that his willpower started to increase again and in the blink of an eye he was back to Master's level again, but the increase of his willpower didn't stop there.
He kept on increasing and then he found himself about to break through to the deadly level.
He looked over to Ana in surprise, he didn't know what she was doing, or why she was helping him but he was grateful.
Then boom, Dexter immediately broke through to the Deadly level.
He didn't have time to thank Ana for this he immediately rushed towards the center of his mind.
When he arrived he saw that the fear was in the process of putting out his mind flame.
At this point it was already half way gone, Dexter felt kind of heavy in his mind and knew this was the cause of the mind flame.
"Leave My Mind!!!" Dexter shouted and launched an attack at the fear.
The fear sensed the danger and stopped what it was doing to fight Dexter.
Dexter kept on slashing continuously at the fear.
The fear kept on blocking his attacks.
After they collided again and Dexter and the fear were sent back, Dexter knew he had to try a new approach.
"It is not about fighting them, it is about subduing them." Dexter thought in his mind.
He looked at the fear and realized what fear it was.
"Fear of losing your loved ones." Dexter mumbled.
After Dexter figured that out he didn't rush to attack, instead he sat in a cross legged position and meditated.
The fear had an uneasy feeling seeing him sit cross legged like that and rushed to attack.
Dexter didn't move at all and just sat there.
Then the entire mind space changed and no matter how hard the fear tried he could not get close to Dexter.
Dexter then opened his eyes.
"This is my mind, I am in charge of my mind and nothing can scare me."
After Dexter said that, he moved his hand and the fear then just vanished.
Dexter immediately dropped to the floor unconscious.
Ana who was watching far away just smiled as she moved her hand and Dexter disappeared from his mind space.
*************
Elizabeth was sitting beside Dexter in the hospital bed.
She was holding the hand of Dexter as she looked at him with worry.
She was still feeling guilty for Dexter being unconscious right now, she felt that he got injured because he was trying to save her.
Patrick Jones then walked in with the president.
"He is still not awake!" Patrick asked with concern.
Elizabeth just nodded her head and looked at Dexter.
Patrick just sighed, he had seen the way his daughter had been acting lately and he knew that she was feeling very guilty about everything.
"Elizabeth you have been here the whole night, how about you go home and rest." Patrick offered.
"No thanks dad, I'm good" Elizabeth said.
When Patrick was about to convince his daughter, they saw the eye lids of Dexter tremble.
Everyone held their breath as the stared at Dexter.
Then Dexter eyes snapped open.
Elizabeth, Patrick and the President all froze as they stared at Dexter.
Elizabeth was the first person to move as she hugged Dexter.
"Oh Dexter I thought you were going to die." Elizabeth said in tears.
Dexter returned the hug as he missed Elizabeth as well.
"Ok, ok let him breath." Patrick said with a smile.
"So Dexter how do you feel?" The president asked.
"I am alright." Dexter said still holding Elizabeth.
"Well Dexter it is good you are alright, can I speak to you alone." The president asked and both Elizabeth and Patrick left.
"So Mr President what do you want to talk about?"
The president didn't answer and just smiled.
