The Bloody Moon

Prolog

Everything happened in a matter of seconds. The squeak after the explosion buzzed in my ears, when I managed to open my eyes, I saw Raphael lying on the ground. I knew he was dead. Hearing someone screaming my name, I looked over my right shoulder, it was Mikey running towards me but suddenly, right in front of me he got shot in the back . I grabbed him in my arms and looked at his face. Blood was coming out of his mouth and his pulse was not stable.

- Mikey. - I whispered crying, still looking at his smiley face. How could he smile at this moment. He was always smiling. I never understood why. Ignorante brat.

- I'm okay. - He was lying, I knew he was dying and I couldn't save him.

- Where... Where is Don? - I don't know why I asked him this question. The answer was clear. Too vivid to picture. He didn't answer with words but the look of his face was enough.

- You need to go. - He said.

- I can't leave you here.

- Yes you can.

- I don't want you to be alone.

- I'm not. - He turned his head towards Raphael and whispered. - Survive. - Then he closed his eyes and he was gone. All three of them were gone.

- But I can't be alone. - I looked at Mikey's face for the last time and got up to take revenge on those who were left but it wasn't enough. It was for the first time when Kinko took the power over my body. On the exact day as the red moon showed up high on the sky, just like seven years ago, in 2011.

*Kinko - The golden Kitsune. Kinko is the manifestation of Yin representing the Sun and power.*
