《CRIMSON MOON (SHORT CHAPTERS)》Chapter 17: In the Silence of the Night part 2
Advertisement
A few minutes before...
Alejandro walks down a street of tall buildings, the street lights flashing making it feel like a horror film.
Alejandro looks at his cellphone and thinks to himself:
“Now this is scary, according to the new intel I've acquired through social media. People are chosen by a beast with some sort of hypnosis. They usually walk from their houses voluntarily and when the family members notice they have already disappeared.”
Alejandro continues to walk around some parts of the town where houses have their lights off and some are even abandoned. Alejandro continues to film as he walks with caution.
"I wonder if I would have a chance to see the monster that attacks the city."
He begins to blush as he thinks with excitement:
"If I film this monster tonight then I'm going to be famous. The SIS will be restored. Marjorie and Raul are going to be…."
He remembers the fight he had with his classmates. Alejandro feels as if a cloud is above him and rains hom down feeling depressed:
"Oh yeah...I don't have anybody now...man I'm such a loser…"
He shakes his head repeating:
"No, I'm not. No, I'm not."
He lifts a fist in the air:
"I have a hunch that everything will change tonight. I have to be brave and film it...you can do it…"
*************************************************************************
Meanwhile, the monster begins to fly into the west part of town and begins to roar:
(RRRRAAAAWWWWWWW)
The intense roar causes some of the people that hear it to get up from their beds, and walk out their houses hypnotized.
The monster begins to take them one by one into the sky until there isn't anyone left in the west part of the town.
(BBBAANNNGGG)
Before the monster could attack the last victim, an officer shoots at it.
"Stop right there…"
The monster begins its assault against the police.
(RRRRAAAAWWWW)
Alejandro begins to hear gunshots around the west part of the city. He begins to run there once again to see what’s happening. In the west of the city the police are fighting the monster that has the appearance of a man with great red eyes.
“We need back up, that thing is killing my men, I repeat we need back up.”
The officer says through the radio.
He leaves his car and begins to shoot the creature who is killing the police officers one by one.
The creature then extends its wings and elevates to the sky, it charges straight to the police officer but the officer dodges the attack. The creature destroys the car causing an explosion.

(CCCRRRAASSHHH)
The monster continues the assault and takes down two more police.
Uriel who is standing in the top of the building sees the explosion and says to himself:
“It’s happening there, I must hurry.”
He begins to run on top of the buildings heading towards the explosion.
Suddenly, two Sombras who have the resemblance of two giant eagles attack him.
(RRRAAWWW)
"Damn it, not now…"
Uriel falls between the buildings with the two Sombras.
*************************************************************************
At the battle scene, one of the officers connects a bullet to the monster.
The monster charges straight to him and stands in front of the officer.
The monster is 7 feet tall and its wings are large, its body is grey color with huge red eyes, pointy ears and a tail with spikes going from the head to the tail.
(RRRRAAAAAWWWWWW)
The monster roars with great intensity, paralyzing the officer, he hits the monster in the stomach with his fist and does not have any effect.
The monster stabs the officer in the stomach with its claws; it passes through his body causing him to throw up blood. The monster slowly elevates the officer to point that his feet do not touch the ground anymore. The officer with his last breath says:
“See you in hell”
The officer takes out a grenade and triggers it.
(BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM)
The explosion of the bomb causes the alarms to set off. A giant smoke screen covers the area. A figure moves slowly in the smokescreen. The officer has fully disappeared;
However, the monster remains without any injuries. The monster spreads its wings and begins to fly up in the sky looking for something. The monster notices mana in the Ministry of San Juan. It begins to fly straight for it.
Alejandro arrives at the scene and sees blood all over the street and many dead people. He begins to feel dizzy and throws up. Alejandro shakes from his feet feeling fear. He hits himself in the face and begins to say:
“Come on, pull yourself together, you need to see that thing!”
Step by step Alejandro begins to walk slowly down the street but he doesn’t see the monster.
(BADUMP BADUMP)
Alejandro feels pain in his left hand. The pain is so intense that he falls into his knees dropping his camera.
"Why now, why is it hurting now…"
(RRRRAAWWW)
Alejandro sees the monster heading towards a little girl; “WAAAHHH...MAMA….”
Alejandro shakes from his legs:
"I must help her…"
Alejandro stands up and runs towards the girl. Alejandro manages to grab the girl rolling over, saving her from the monster.

“Are you okay?” Alejandro asks the girl. The girl with tears in her eyes nods in agreement.
“HIJA!” The girl’s mother runs towards her, the girl and her mother reunite; “Muchas Gracias” (Thank you very much)
“No hay problema...corran...rapido” (No problem...run away...hurry)
The mom and the girl begin to run towards a building. Alejandro breathes heavily thinking:
“That was incredible...I just saved someone…”
(RRRAAAWWWW)
The monster begins to head their way. Alejandro throws a rock at the monster. The monster notices Alejandro, Alejandro begins to run away screaming:
"OVER HERE, YOU UGLY CHICKEN…"
Alejandro runs as fast as he can thinking:
"I need to hide before…"
The monster grabs Alejandro, and begins to lift him to air.
"Let go…"
Alejandro touches the monster with his left hand, suddenly a bright light shines in his left hand hurting the monster.
(RAAAWW)
The monster lets go of Alejandro. Alejandro falls into a dumpster, he breathes heavily.
"I don't know what happened but my hand began to shine...incredible…"
Alejandro gets out of the dumpster; he notices the monster flying away; “I must hurry…”
Alejandro grabs his camera and begins to follow it as they head towards the ministry.
*************************************************************************
Five minutes after the attack….
"Where am I?"
Five minutes after the attack, a survivor officer wakes up. He stands up slowly as he tries to think what has happened.
The man has a badge that says; "Rodriguez"
Officer Luis Rodriguez (Age 35) is an officer of the Rio Grande City police force, he is the commander, and he has brown skin with short black hair. He has yellow eyes and a mustache; he is wearing a black police uniform with a helmet on and bullet proof vest with military boots.
He walks crooked as he has an injured leg and his face is covered in blood. He arrives at the scene and sees his fallen comrades. The whole area has blood everywhere along with flames coming out of the burning cars.
Officer Rodriguez falls into his knees and begins to punch the ground:
"Damn it, why the hell did this have to happen...why damn it…."
(GGGGRRRRRR)
He senses a presence behind him. He turns around and sees a creature with circle patterns. The monster is a Sombra and it has a coyote appearance with fangs and claws.
The Sombra charges at the officer, the officer dodges, but the Sombra hits him with his tail.
(PUUUUM)
The officer falls into the front glass of a car. He immediately stands up evading the sombras attack.
"You damn monster…"
(PIU PIU PIU)
He fires his gun multiple times, however they have no effect. The bullets pass right through the Sombra.
The Sombra gets ready to attack the officer. The officer takes out a knife and smiles:
"I guess this is the end…"
(RRRRRAAAWWW)
(SSSLLLLAASSSHHHH)
Suddenly, the Sombra gets slashed in half and slowly begins to disappear, turning into mana particles.
“W-W-What happened?” The officer is in shock as he sees a person walking straight at him.
The young man has blue hair, and brown skin, the flames cause a shadow making his eyes look red.
The officer lifts his gun and shouts:
"FFFRREEEZZEE YOU'RE UNDER ARREST"
In a blink of an eye, the young boy disappears from his sight; “Where did he go?”
The young boy reappears in front of him and grabs his neck pulling him up.
"You know,that's no way to treat your savior like that…"
The moon shines bright revealing that young boy is Uriel. Uriel lets the officer go.
(COUGH COUGH)
Uriel looks around and asks:
"Tell me, where is the monster that did this?"
"I don't know, I was unconscious…"
"I see, so then you are a lucky one...good for you…"
Uriel begins to walk away, the officer tries to stop him:
"Wait, what are those things?"
"Those are Sombras and I advise you to stay away from them...or else you'll be killed…the fact that you can see them is a miracle."
(RRRRRAAAWWW)
“Watch out!” Officer Rodriguez screams as two more sombras appear and charge directly at Uriel.
(SSSSLLLAASSHHHH)
Uriel cuts both of them with ease just by using his hands. -BBBAADDDUUMMPP- Uriel begins to hear the wings of the monster, and looks at the direction where it's heading.
He opens his eyes and realizes it’s where the ministry is located. He begins to run saying:
“Damn it, I lost too much time…"
He concentrates manna in his feet and jumps with great force, unleashing a powerful wind current. Uriel heads with great speed to the northwest part of the city.
Uriel disappears from the officer’s sight. The officer lays on his back thinking:
"Sombras...ehh…and that boy, he seemed very familiar…"
Hiding in an alley, a beautiful young woman with orange hair sees Uriel’s actions. She begins to walk to a street light and says:
“Uriel...what is he doing here? I must follow him and see what actions he will do”
She stands below the light revealing to be Kasumi Miyazono. Kasumi gets on her motorcycle and begins to follow Uriel.

World Wonderer
Mari was happily whisking up some butterscotch slice when our story suddenly whisks her into another world. You'd think it'd be the beginning of another classic Isekai adventure, but it soon becomes clear that things won't be so easy...Her nerdy-teenage-genius summoner has trapped her in his room, no one speaks English, and Mari's gut is NOT prepared for a whole new world of bacteria. Can Mari overcome the travel diarrhea, learn a whole new language and escape before she develops Stockholm syndrome? Most of all, can she learn to flourish in a world so different, yet so similar to her own? ****** Author note: This story is written in response to all the unrealistic, plot-armour Isekais out there. I believe that adventures are more fun when there are unexpected surprises and challenges to be had. That said, this is my virgin voyage into writing an ongoing fiction, so please take care of me @[email protected] Constructive critisms, suggestions and typos in the comments would be most appreciated! Respectfully, Mhm
