《CRIMSON MOON (SHORT CHAPTERS)》Chapter 124: Reality is Cruel
Advertisement
After a long period of grieving...Jairo’s body was covered in the sign of respect...Alejandro left the room and went upstairs to the Cafe alongside Anastasia…
Alejandro walks into the destroyed coffee shop.Everything is burned and taped...the police and firefighters retrieved all the damages....Alejandro goes to the table where he and Jairo had their last conversation:
“I can’t believe that a couple of hours ago, we were having a friendly conversation...and now...he is gone...this is all my fault…”
“You bet it is…” Carlos says to Alejandro as he approaches him. -PPPUUUMM- Carlos punches Alejandro and exclaims; “Jairo died because he was poisoned by the golden key...you were told not to use it...so why the hell did you use it?”
“I didn’t know okay, it was the only thing I had in mind…” Alejandro replies, Carlos prepares to punch him once more, however, Anastasia grabs his arm and sends him flying. “Carlos, are you okay?” Chelsea says as she runs to his side. “Are you okay master?” Anastasia asks Alejandro who nods in agreement.
(DRIP DRIP DROP DROP)
Rain begins to fall once more, because the restaurant does not have a ceiling, water goes through soaking everyone. Carlos stands up; “And what’s with her? Is she your property now? A Lucifugus is working under you? Are you a traitor? Have you been working with them all along? I bet it was all planned and you wanted to kill Jairo…”
(PPPUUUMMM)
Alejandro rushes and punches Carlos; “TAKE THAT BACK! I WOULD NEVER DO THAT! JAIRO WAS MY FRIEND!”
Kasumi appears and puts her katana in between; “Enough you two...Alejandro, I don’t doubt what you say it’s true, but why is she here?”
“I am here because I was ordered to...I don’t plan on harming any of you...I was just ordered to take care of my master…” Anastasia removes her handcuffs, Kasumi notices and thinks; “Those handcuffs were made to suppress mana...she is dangerous…”

Kasumi looks at Alejandro; “Alejandro, I don’t doubt your words but...you did wrong on using the key, you harmed Jairo and yourself...plus you kept Anastasia as a secret...I am forced to take actions and suspend you indefinitely…”
“Hehehe” Alejandro laughs, Carlos looks at him furious; “Son of a...you think this is funny?” Alejandro looks up angry; “You people don’t understand right? Jairo died because he was protecting me...he exposed himself trying to hold me...he lost an arm... because of me...he...he...died…”
Alejandro turns around; “If we talk about secrets, how about yours Kasumi...you lied to me for years...I don’t trust you anymore...I don’t want to be part of this...I quit…” Alejandro walks away; “Come, Anastasia…”
“ALEJANDRO WAIT!” Kasumi begins to walk forward. “Don’t follow me…” Alejandro and Anastasia disappear. As they walk, Alejandro looks at Anastasia and says; “Anastasia, I need to be alone for a moment, could you please go back to your house?”
“But master…”
“I AM NOT YOUR MASTER, GO AWAY DAMN IT!” Alejandro shouts with fury, Anastasia nods in agreement without any expression; “As you wish…”
Alejandro walks alone and reaches “Plaza de los Lagartos” (Alligator Plaza). Rain pours heavily, Alejandro looks at the fountain’s water. The reflection is unstable due to the rain. Alejandro, feeling pain on his chest, falls into his knees. He begins to grab his chest with force and begins to scream:
“WHY...WHY...WHY...WHY….DAMN IT….WHY DID HE DIE….AHHHHH”
Alejandro punches the edge of the fountain with his right hand multiple times and begins to bleed. Alejandro grabs his head with both hands and cries out of rage; “IF ONLY I HAVEN’T USED THIS POWER...IF ONLY I WAS STRONG!”
Alejandro’s blood begins to mix with the fountain’s water. Alejandro with shallow eyes looks at his reflection, he cries even more feeling powerless and weak. Suddenly, a figure appears and claps:

“Wonderful, I like that look at your face...and that smell…”
Alejandro turns around and sees Navajo approaching him; “What do you want?” Navajo chuckles; “My...so aggressive…” Alejandro looks at him with anger; “I said...what do you want?”
“I want that golden key on your hand…”
“The key...this stupid thing?” Alejandro looks at his hand, he feels anger and extends his arm and screams; “GO ON...YOU CAN HAVE IT!” Navajo laughs harder in a feminine way; “Are you stupid? If it was that simple...I already cut your arm a long time ago…”
“Do what you want...I don’t care anymore…”
“My...oh my, losing a friend sure is hard...You know...I also lost my friends, family and tribe a long time ago…and that makes me...” Navajo releases a great amount of mana creating immense pressure, his appearance soon changes into a canine hybrid- type with claws. Alejandro opens his eyes wider; “What the...what are you?”
Navajo regains his composure, he takes a deep breath and chuckles as he returns to his human form; “Sorry about that...you see, I am a Skinwalker…”
“A Skinwalker? You mean those shamans who can turn into beasts…”
“That’s right...but...unfortunately, I am the last one…”
“You are?” Alejandro asks with grief, Navajo grabs his hair and explains; “My tribe was destroyed...and I need that key to use its powers to restore it…”
“And how will you do that?” Alejandro asks Navajo, Navajo shakes his finger; “Sorry that is a secret...so...Alejandro, I proposed to you a deal...one where you will get rid of the golden key and I obtain that power...so what do you say…” Navajo extends his hand to Alejandro, the rain begins to get heavier creating a light fog, and the two figures disappear.

The best damn friend there ever was!” As such begins the journey of a kind hearted girl and her capricious friend. However, the more they learn about the world, the crueler it seems.
