I don’t know

Alex thought though that he might actually have fun with this creature if only their situation was different. 

"I'll have someone explain it to you later," Alex said. "Let's get out of here first before you do something else funny."

"Now let's go, get us back to the cavern before Zeke disappears on us." he said, his voice firm and that was all it took for the guy to make a move in an instant. 

And with that, the two of them were swallowed by that same dark smoke that seemed to have a life of its own. 

As soon as they emerged back in the now empty underground cemetery, Alex asked him to follow after him as he rushed out of the cavern.

Soon, the duo was sprinting through the dense forest, their forms a blur as their vampiric speed propelled them forward with ease. The rustling of leaves and the sound of twigs snapping under their feet echoed through the woods, as they weaved through the trees with practiced agility.
