《CRIMSON MOON (SHORT CHAPTERS)》Chapter 19: The Successor´s Mission

Advertisement

Fabiola runs as fast as she can, dodging every attack it makes to her. She crosses a hill and she arrives where a farm is located. The animals begin to panic as they sense the presence of the monster approaching causing the farmer to wake up and search.

Fabiola tries to go around the farm when she is stopped by the farmer who came out of his house:

“Hey, what are you doing in my farm at this hour?”

Fabiola notices the monster approaching her and says:

“Mister, you must go inside quickly there is a monster.”

The old farmer looks at her with a weird face and says:

“Little girl, are you pulling a prank, I will call the police!”

He grabs Fabiola’s hand and forces her to walk with him to the front of the house. Fabiola tries to break free, but the farmer won’t let go. The farmer stops and says:

“Who is that?”

A few meters in front of the house a figure with the appearance of a man wearing a cape walks directly at them.

“A friend of yours I see, you were pulling a prank, well now it’s over.”

The old man says to Fabiola. Fabiola let’s go of him and screams:

“Run away!!!!”

The man turns around and sees the monster spread its wings and roar. He panics and says to Fabiola :

“Run girl, you must flee”

The monster attacks the old farmer and takes him to the sky releasing a huge pressure sending Fabiola flying to the chicken coop. The chickens begin to flee of fear as well. Fabiola passes out for a moment, however she wakes up and hides under a coop.

(BADUMP BADUMP BADUMP)

There is silence at first with Fabiola waiting for the monster to appear. For a couple of minutes, Fabiola slowly crawls in the coop trying to find another exit.

(BBBOOOMMM)

She tries to move when suddenly the dead farmer falls in front of her causing her to panic. Fabiola wants to scream but she holds it by biting her lips causing them to bleed.

The man turns to ashes. Fabiola notices the monster flying on top of her. The monster flaps its wings causing the coop to fly away along with Fabiola.

“GGGYYYAAAAHHHHH!”

Fabiola screams as she lands where the pigs are causing them to flee.

She calls once again her Lance. The lance reaches Fabiola on time. Fabiola, who is covered in mud, prepares to fight the monster.

The monster overpowers her. With one flap of its wing, the monster sends Fabiola flying.

(BBBOOOOMMM)

The monster comes down and lands in front of her. Fabiola charges to attack but the monster dodges the lance with ease and grabs her in the neck:

“N-N-No, leave me alone…”

The monster begins to choke her, and she is about to lose consciousness.

(PPPPUUMMMM)

All of a sudden, Alejandro appears and punches the monster with his left arm hurting it. The monster falls back.

“I knew it, my left hand did hurt him.” Alejandro says as he looks at his hand.

(COUGH COUGH)

Fabiola coughs as she breathes once more. She looks at Alejandro who smiles moving his left hand.

“What are you doing here, you idiot...” Fabiola says with an angry expression.

“Well I wanted to help so here I am...”

"You're a giant idiot, you know that?" Fabiola says, shaking her head.

(RRRRRAAAWWW)

The monster flies down, trying to attack Alejandro.

"Holy crap it's after me…"

Alejandro runs grabbing Fabiola's hand. Fabiola’s face turns red as she screams:

“LET GO OF ME!”

"We need to go back to the Ministry...I'm sure we'll get some help…"

Chasing at high speed, the monster approaches, Fabiola notices; “GET DOWN YOU IDIOT!”

Fabiola pushes Alejandro down a hill. Both of them use the opportunity to roll down a hill.

The monster flies pass by them, and soars to the sky once more.

Alejandro and Fabiola use the opportunity to catch their breaths. As they rest, Alejandro looks at Fabiola and says:

"Thank you…"

Fabiola looks up angry; "That bastard is toying with us…"

"You think so?"

"Yeah, if he wants to, he could paralyze us in an instant…"

"I see..." Alejandro stands up, he extends his hand:

"My name is Alejandro, it's a pleasure…"

"Huh…" Fabiola looks surprised.

"Are you crazy! We're on the verge of death being chased by a monster.."

"Well, I figured if I'm going to die, I might as well know your name right?" Alejandro chuckles scratching his head.

Fabiola burst in laughter. "Man you're not just an idiot, you're weird…"

Fabiola shakes his hand with a smile:

"My name is Fabiola…"

Alejandro smiles, Fabiola looks at him asking:

"Are you not afraid…"

"I am, but I saw you being brave so I gained courage to help you…"

Fabiola blushes, Alejandro sighs and asks:

"So, why are you so fixated on hunting that thing?"

"That monster took my sister away from me, I want to avenge her…"

"I understand but…"

(BADUMP)

Suddenly Alejandro feels pain in his left hand. Fabiola notices and says:

"Let me take a look…"

She takes off the bandage and notices that he has vlack veins in his hand.

"This is bad, this is poison...but why?"

"I don't know, I just…"

(RRRRRAAAWWW)

The monster charges at them. They both managed to dodge the attack by jumping in both directions, however both of them are blown away because of the wind.

(BBBOOOMMM)

Alejandro sees Fabiola near the cliff, he runs as fast as he can grabbing her with his right hand.

Fabiola hangs on the cliff, below her there is a precipice. Alejandro feels weak because of the pain.

Fabiola looks at the monster flying towards them. She looks up and sees Alejandro in pain.

"Let me go, or you'll die…"

"No, I couldn't live with myself if I did that…"

Fabiola with tears on her eyes smiles:

"Thank you...but this is my resolve…and I don't want you to die"

Fabiola lets go, and suddenly the monster grabs her.

"FFFFFAAABBBIIIOLLLLAAA!!!"

The monster begins to elevate into the sky and goes higher, causing Fabiola to start losing consciousness.

Fabiola with the last of her strength points her finger up making the lance go straight to it and says:

“You dumb monster, I got you.”

(SSSLLLASSHHHH)

The lance makes a cut in the monster’s arm, releasing Fabiola.

Fabiola begins to fall at high speed making her remember an event from the past.

Ministry of San Juan; Five months ago….

“Listen Fabiola, you must not pick fights with other kids okay.”

A young girl says to Fabiola who is covered in bruises.

“It’s not my fault; they were picking on Abril so I just defended her, Sister Melissa.” Fabiola replies while she is getting treated by Melissa.

Sister Melissa was a 16 year old girl who was very nice to Fabiola and the other sisters because she was the oldest sister without including Sister Carolina. She was always scolding Fabiola for fighting. Fabiola always admired Melissa. Melissa had brown hair with brown eyes always wearing a nun’s attire,she also had dark skin.

On the night of her disappearance Melissa and Fabiola had one last conversation.

“Listen Fabiola, I will have to leave you guys for a long time, I want you to protect your sisters.”

Melissa says to Fabiola while she hugs her. Fabiola replies:

“But why do you have to leave, Father Clemente hasn't returned yet, please don’t go!”

“I must in order to protect you.” Melissa replies as she stands up from the bed and walks to the door.

“Whatever you do, stay alive!” Melissa says as she leaves with tears in her eyes.

An hour later Fabiola sleeps soundly on her bed along with her other sisters. Suddenly, she hears a strange sound.

She goes to the window and sees Melissa walking outside the ministry. Fabiola tries to get her attention by knocking on the window but she doesn’t respond.

She sees Sister Carolina run as fast as she can to stop her. All of the sudden, the winged monster descends and takes Melissa without any struggle.

“NOOOOOOO!!!!”

Fabiola screams as she breaks the window in order to save Melissa. She sees Carolina throw her Lance of San Marcos at the monster but fails.

Fabiola tries to go after Melissa, but she is stopped by Sister Carolina saying:

“There is nothing we can do. My little one is gone now for the sake of us.”

Fabiola picks up a cross that Melissa always had and begins to cry calling her name as the monster and Melissa disappeared in the distance:

“MMMEELLLIIISSSAAA!!”

After a few moments of somber, Fabiola’s sorrow turns into anger and determination. She lifts her head and says:

“Melissa, I swear I will protect my sisters like you once did...and some day, I will avenge you...”
