The Red Moon

Episode 28

When she set out for the journey, tension aroused in the city coz nobody knew if she was gonna succeed or not.

Nelly walked straight to Kuma, to the residence of Nelson’s family house. She dressed in black and white shirt like a banker. She stood before the door of the house breathing hastily, she had been trying to control it but couldn’t. She didn’t know when she knocked at the door three times. Instantly, it opened, Lo and behold Michael staring at her without a surprising face.

Shakiti brought out his head to see who had taken Michael unaware. When he saw her, he giggled. “Love is a wonderful thing” he said.
“Hi, Mike” Nelly forcefully smiled, sliding her hair at the same time.

Michael didn’t talk to her rather opened the door widely and left. She followed him into the house coz she believed leaving the door open means ‘enter’. They finally entered into a room where she found a television and a computer, even other things. Surprisingly, she noticed peals of banana everywhere on the floor.

Michael turned to her. “What are you doing here?” he quired.
Nelly frowned. “Is that what you suppose to ask me? You left me at Gezos city to this place, you hid your identity from me and what you could ask me is what I’m doing here? I can see you don’t care about me anymore” she wanted to leave the room but he called her back.

“I’m sorry,” he met her just at the door. “I’m sorry I never told you I’m Kira. But I hope nobody followed you to this place”
Nelly shook her head negatively then hugged him tightly. “I miss you so much, Mike”
“Who gave you the location of this place?” Mike disengaged from her to the bed where he sat on the edge.

“Your sister, Dera, did” she sat beside him.
Tranquility was the next thing that took over the room. Of course, Michael knew she would ask him so many questions pertaining the death note and all the killings that had been going on. So he got ready for it.

“Do you want to tell me why you choose to kill all this people with the Death Note?” she broke the silence in a romantic way by placing a hand on his shoulder.
“I planned to use the book to create a new world. A world without crime by eliminating all the bad people. But some people like Vera and the police crossed my way” he explained.

“Don’t you think you’re taking it too far by killing even your own sister. That means you can kill me too”

Mike stood up without uttering a word. Suddenly, he heard a noise from outside where people were pursuing a thief. He swiftly took his phone then took the picture of the very boy in motion. At the sight of Nelly, he scanned the picture on the computer then the details of the young thief displayed. He opened a drawer, brought out the death note and wrote the person’s name on it. He closed it.

“Oh my God!” Nelly approached.
Michael allowed her touch the book, hence, she saw Shakiti and screamed!

“Hey!” Mike got hold of her. “He’s cool, he doesn’t harm anybody”

Meanwhile, Shakiti had positioned his smiling scary face. “Hi, Nelly, I like banana” he waved his hand at her.

“He knows my name? Who’s he?” Nelly asked.

Michael explained to her that he was Shakiti. She couldn’t believe the story of Shakiti, the god of death was real! At time goes on, she became familiar and friendly with him.

That night was a wonderful one for the two lovers and Shakiti too. She cooked, they ate, and made love at night except with Shakiti who watched television while the sex went on.
In the morning, when Michael entered the bathroom, Nelly stood up naked, tip toed to the drawer containing the death note then took it and placed it inside her bag. Of course, Shakiti saw her but pretended never to notice her criminal attitude.

She dressed up in a hurry and left Kuma instantly.

A few minute after Michael came out from the bathroom, he noticed Shakiti giggling for no reason. He also noticed Nelly gone then he swiftly opened the window if he would see her but never set eyes on her. He turned to Shakiti.

“What’s going on?”
“Nothing”
Michael opened the drawer to see the death note gone. There was no other person who could take the book but Nelly. He knew that, so he smiled.

“I knew she was in a mission” he turned.
“But she has succeeded in her mission” Shakiti laughed.
“No, rather she just bought a free ticket to hell”

“How?”
Michael entered into the bathroom and came out with another death note. “I duplicated the note in a way nobody knows the real and the fake one. Last night, while she was asleep, I replaced the real one in the drawer with the fake one coz i never trusted her” he laughed in a deadly manner.
“Wow! this cause for a celebration!” Shakiti brought out a banana then began to eat, while Michael opened the note, took a pen and wrote ‘NELLY LAMBERT, TIME OF DEATH, 1HOUR’. He closed the book smiling a deadly smile…
