《CRIMSON MOON (SHORT CHAPTERS)》Chapter 84: The Coyote's Howl
Advertisement
Uriel and Officer Rodriguz headed to the construction site of the mall…
“Now then...” Officer Rodriguez takes out his gun and points at Uriel.
“What 's this? You're pointing your gun at a minor? Are you mad that I am dating your daughter?” Uriel smiles, Officer Rodriguez gets mad:
“Cut the crap...I know who you are...you’re the one from the night of the attack right? When all my unit was wiped out by that monster...and I saw you again during the Mayor’s party, that monster attacked again...What the hell are you?”
“I don’t know what you are talking about...I’m just a normal teenager…”
“Don’t play dumb, I recognize that scar on your eye anywhere...are you a demon?”
“Demon?” Uriel chuckles; “No...I’m not a demon...I’m something worse…”
Officer Rodriguez prepares to fire; “Tell me, what do you plan to do with my daughter?”
“Nothing...I just need my medallion back, she has it and I want it, once she gives it back, I'm gone…”
“So you are just using her? YOU’RE EVIL….NOBODY USES MY DAUGHTER…”
Officer Rodriguez screams, Uriel chuckles:
"It's a good thing you care about her so much...but let me tell you something...Yes...I am the one who saved you that night...On that night you were supposed to die remember….but I saved you…"
-TCH- Officer Rodriguez lowers the gun as he remembers what happened that night, tears begin to come out of his eyes.
" I saw everyone die that day...including my best friend...I also wanted to die...but I remembered Victoria, she is my precious daughter...Boy...Thank you…"
"No need to thank me...I just saved because of mere coincidence, nothing more…"
"Even so...I am alive because of you…Thank you…"
Uriel sighs; Officer Rodriguez smiles and says:
" I don't know what your secret is...but you are a good person and I approve that you date my daughter…"
Uriel opens his eyes wider; "Wait...that's not…"
(CCCCRRRAASSSHHHH)
(GGGGYYYAAHHHHH)
Suddenly, a loud crash is heard at the food court. Uriel and Officer Rodriguez see the glass ceiling falling.

"Wait...that's where…"
Officer Rodriguez begins to run as he screams; "VICTORIA!"
***************************************************************************
A few moments before…
"Oh papa...how could you arrive at the moment I…." Victoria blushes, she shakes her head really fast; "No...calm down Victoria, it's just the first date...plus...I know that we don't share the same feelings…" Victoria with determination lifts her head; "It's now or never, I'm going to ask him out…"
"Hey you...give me back my medallion…" Victoria hears a voice, she looks around but nobody's there. Without warning, an arm appears out of nowhere and grabs her arm; "Gyahh a ghost…"
Tiwa suddenly reveals herself; " I've been waiting patiently, I want my medallion back…"
"Oh it's you Indian girl, let go of me...and how did you appear out of nowhere…"
Tiwa grabs her neck; "Give me my medallion"
"Stay away from me...and that medallion is Uriel's. I will give it to him and he will be my boyfriend...jealous?" Victoria acts like a diva.
"Hahaha…" Tiwa laughs, Victoria gets angry; "Why are you laughing...it isn't funny…"
"Boyfriend? It appears you don't know him at all...Uriel is only toying with you...he and I are working together to get my medallion back…"
Victoria denies it and steps back; "Lyer, Uriel.would never do that...we've texting…"
Tiwa takes out her phone and shows the messages that they shared; " You mean these?Come one Victoria, think about it for a moment, since when has Uriel.ever talked to you? You live in a pink bubble...snap out of it...Uriel doesn't care about you….the date was my idea…"
Victoria falls to her knees and cries; " No way...you are lying...you are…"
"I've had enough...Give me my medallion or I'll take you down…" Tiwa makes a claw appear on her right hand and walks towards her with fury.
"NO...STAY AWAY…"
(CCCCRRRAASSSHHHH)
The glass ceiling breaks into pieces and they start falling towards the mall.
(GGGYYYAAHHHH)
People scream as they run away, a glass falls directly to Victoria; " Look out…"
Tiwa breaks the glass avoiding it to hit her. Victoria and Tiwa look at the ceiling; "Who is that?"

Tiwa opens her eyes wider. Her breathing starts to go faster as she feels anxiety. She falls into her knees as she trembles:
"No way...why is he here? Why is he alive?"
Standing at the ceiling, a man dressed as a cowboy, he has blue colored pants, a brown vest and a cowboy hat with a bandana on his neck. He has an eyepatch on his left eye and he is smoking a cigarette.
"VICTORIA"
"TIWA"
Uriel and Officer Rodriguez arrive where the girls are. "Papa…"
"Hija, are you alright?"
Victoria nods in agreement, Uriel looks at a frightened Tiwa; "Tiwa what's wrong?"
"C-C-Coyote…"
"HOWDY BOY...I FINALLY FOUND YOU...CHARRO NEGRO…" The man jumps towards their direction. He uses his whip and wraps it in the ceiling permitting him to swing and land in front of them.
Uriel stares at him thinking; "This feeling...that man is dangerous…"
The man walks towards him; " Uriel Di Fiore…Juan's successor...it's a pleasure…"
"Who are you?"
“Rejoice because you’re in front of a living legend…the World’s Greatest Bounty Hunter; Sundance “Coyote” Bill…”
Uriel remembers reading about him in his History book. He also remembers that Juan de la Trinidad once commented about him.
Uriel looks at him surprised; “Sundance “Coyote” Bill? This can’t be...he was alive 200 years ago...how come you’re saying to be him?”
“Coyote Bill...there is a statue of him located at the entrance of the City…” Officer Rodriguez says as he looks with fear.
“Indeed...you are correct muchacho, I am he...and I came here to say hello…” Sundance finishes his cigarette. Victoria looks at him:
“This old man...he appears in the History books?” Victoria looks at him with anger:
“Hey old man...stop saying stupid things...you are saying that you are a deadman? Prove it…”
Sundance laughs, he walks slowly towards Uriel and Tiwa. Tiwa who is trembling begins to move back; “STAY AWAY! YOU MONSTER!”
Uriel looks at Tiwa thinking; “Tiwa, what’s wrong with you?”
In a blink of an eye, Sundance appears in front of Uriel and without giving him any chance of reaction kicks him with force.
(BBBBOOOMM CCCRRAASSSHHH)
Uriel flies towards a food stand destroying it completely. Everyone is in shock; “UUURRRIIIEELLL” Victoria screams, Officer Rodriguez fires his gun.
(PIU PIU PIU)
Sundance evades the bullets and stands in front of him; “You know lad, if you want to fire a gun, you must be man enough to fire without hesitation and also be sure to be well prepared to receive one yourself…”
(BBBBAAANNNNGGGGG)
Officer Rodriguez suddenly feels warm in his stomach, he looks down and sees blood coming down his stomach; “What the…”
Officer Rodriguez slowly falls into his knees, Sundance sighs; “Hay muchacho, you police officer all alike, you think because you have a uniforme, you are invincible but know this...you are not…”
“PPPAPPPA” Victoria screams as she runs towards her father, Sundance grabs his lasso and spins it. He throws it towards Victoria and ties her up.
“That was easy...unless...you can do something about it...Charro Negro…”
Sundance sees Uriel slowly walking towards them, Uriel who changed into a partial Charro mode consisting in his black pants and white buttoned shirt without his hat or his gloves. He isn’t wearing his coat, only his vest.
“Coyote, let her go…” Uriel charges at Coyote, Coyote smiles and blocks Uriel’s punch with ease.
(PPPUUMMM)
“Not bad, however, it’s still not enough…” Coyote punches Uriel’s stomach. -PPPUUMM- “Auggh…” Uriel breathes heavily, Coyote kicks him once more and sends him flying.
“UUURRIIIEELLL...LET ME GO!!!” Victoria screams, Coyote knocks her unconscious. Coyote looks at Uriel and laughs:
“Man, you sure are weak, no wonder Juan is looking for your replacement…”
“Damn you..”
“Charro Negro, search for me, I want to talk to you about something ion private, I will take this girl as a hostage. Come at sunset…” Coyote throws a piece of paper with an address for Uriel.
Coyote slowly walks away, carrying Victoria. Uriel falls to his knees and punches the ground.
“Damn it, how come I am so weak...Damn it…”

It Started with Slime
Before we jump in, let me say that the MC starts stupid, so the language and writing style is straightforward to reflect this. The writing improves with the MC and as the chapters progress (I hope). It is also a gradual growth story, so no zero to hero in ten seconds... with that out of the way: An alchemical experiment has gone wrong and results in a Slime Monster. It doesn't have a name at first and is something that it will need to work out! This story follows a Slime that starts as a Micro Slime with some level of consciousness, and there is more to it than meets the eye. Survival is the name of the game. To improve, it works hard to grow, evolve and become more powerful to survive its harsh new reality. There is a lot more going, and only time will tell if this Slime (all its various versions) can become strong enough to make it through the strife to the other side. It's a harsh world, after all. It Started with Slime is a story with a Monster Protagonist Evolution story. There will be no profanity and no sexual content, and there will be some violence and fighting descriptions. I am a native English speaker, and so the English here should be to a good standard. That said, even though editing, there may be some corrections and typos, so if you see some, let me know! If it bothers you a lot, I am working to make sure all chapters have no typos, but of course, some might slip through. I will endeavour to correct any picked up, though! Also, I started this a few months ago and so any feedback is always appreciated, also reviews and ratings! If you like or don't like the story, let me know in the detailed reviews! That always helps me see what is good and what needs improving. Working on releasing chapters twice a week, I will try to increase that as time goes, but at the moment, that is what I can release. Patreon has more. If the story gets more popular, then I will increase the releases. I am aiming ultimately for a chapter a day if I can get to that. Chapters are roughly 1500 words, with Interludes every five chapters being more or less than that! Enjoy! Edit: Book 1 finished on Patreon, and the format for Book 2 is slightly different with Interludes every three chapters, and the release schedule will be three chapters a week. Cover by: Faren Discord: https://discord.gg/eDuZaEAAqG This story is published and available on Royalroad, Webnovel, ScribbleHub, Wattpad, and extra chapters on Patreon!

Book I – The Perfect Sacrifice: Hired to kill a psychotic recluse, a five inch tall sell-sword begins to suspect that his employers are not what they appear. Book II – The Cheated Thief: As empires clash, a young thief with nowhere left to turn is sucked into the maelstrom of war.

Absolute Power of the Imagination
(Hello this is a story that I'm making and is basically just my fantasy of what it would be like to be a human with god-like powers and the MC is going to have my personality so you are reading some of my desires.) Everyone has at least once thought what it would it would be like to be GOD but only so many people have actually thought about it deeply and this story is going to be through my thoughts as what it would be like to be a god-like being that was once human (because it would be no fun to read or write what it would be like to be GOD since there are no obstacles as the definition of GOD.) (I'm writing this because my new favorite novel "Michael Ammers: My OP leisure life" has been dropped or is on a really long hiatus.
