The Red Moon

Episode 36

Back to the residence of Mr Nelson where Michael and Shakiti found refuge, both could be seen inside the father’s room. Mike opened one of the drawers then saw a gun . He took it looking at it strangely.
“What are you up to now with a gun?” Shakiti began. “Do you want to become a criminal instead of god of the new world? If yes, I’ll be the one to write your name on the death note” he giggled in a mockery manner.

Lucky ignored him as he began to leave the room back to his own room. When he got there, he looked through the window and turned. “Shakiti?” he called calmly.
“Yes, Michael” he replied facing him.
“Is there any other secret that you’ve not told me?”

“Hmm..” Shakiti looked at the ceiling with a finger placed on the jaw. “Yes, there is”
“Tell me the secret” Mike stared.
“Anyone who’s name is written on the life note cannot be killed again with the death note”

Mike took a step forward thinking critically. He knew that the life note has been found and that would be the next strategy they would be used to capture him. Therefore, he stopped at the centre of the room and said aloud, “This is no more a battle of notes but of guns” he brought out the gun, carried his bag which contains the death note to leave the room instantly, but Vera entered immediately which startled him backward along the window side. He pointed the gun at her.
“Vera” he called amazingly.
“Yes, it’s me, Mike, the sister you killed” Vera stood at the centre of the room. “I’ve not come to kill you but to beg you to forgive me for exposing you initially”
Mike couldn’t talk as he still pointed the gun at her. Just then, Nelly also entered.
“And I have come to tell you good bye to hell” she said standing beside Vera.
However, Mike had started sweating from the face. “You tried to betray me” he began breathing hastily. “All of you came on my way to make the world a better place. You tried to prevent me, you tried to kill me, you conspired against me!!” the breathing increased in a way his chest began to move up and down. “I guess I won’t hesitate to kill you for the second time” he pulled the trigger twice on each girl.
Hearing the gun short, Sir Rick entered and shot him twice too. The power of the bullet was strong enough to throw Mike over the window, so he fell down from there with the bag.
Notwithstanding, Debby, who saw all that happened ran towards the window from downstairs where Mike fell. She saw his bag, picked it and disappeared.
Meanwhile Michael had ran away with the bullet. One could see his clothes soaked with blood as he gallop along a lonely road coz one of his legs broke as a result of the fall from the window. The sky rotated in his eyes, buildings and trees became partially visible to him which proved that he was actually dying gradually. When all his strength to run exhausted, he slowly fell down, but to his surprise, someone caught him before he finally hit the ground – that was Dera.
She la!d his head on her thighs like a mother trying to breastfeed a child. She kept crying and touching his cheeks gently. She loved his brother unconditionally.
Michael opened his eyes to see the person who still has such a good heart. Instead of seeing Dera’s image, he saw the image of his late mother.

“Mum?” he called with the remaining life in him and tears in his eyes.
“It isn’t mum, Mike, it’s Dera” she replied increasing her tears.
“I knew you would come to save me my beloved sister. Please, pray for me, Dera. I don’t know what came over me. The death note is a curse and Shakiti is of the devil. It’s clear to me now that I’m not a God, no human being can be God coz he’s the only one that has the power to take and give life. Commit my soul.. in.. in…” he took his last breath without completing his sentence.
“Nooh!” Dera cried.
Just then, Sir Rick arrived with Nelly and Vera who began to shed tears too. Though they were shot by Kira but didn’t die due to a bulletproof that was hidden under their clothes.

People began to gather around to see the almighty Kira, yes, of course his death went viral over the internet and other broadcasting devices. When Mr Nelson heard about the death of his son, he took his last breath.

:
Few hours later, both the life note and the death note was nowhere to be found again, even Shakiti and Ashanti suddenly disappeared from the sight of those who were able to see them.
On the other hand, Debby, opened the bag where she believed was the death note. Of course she saw it and brought it out with all happiness. The caption was clear on the black thick cover; ‘Death Note’. She opened it, closed it back and hid it under her pant.
Three weeks later after Mr Nelson was buried, she met Lucky and Vera at a beach where they sat on the sand. They were surprised to see her. Children, old and young could also be seen on the beach having fun.
“Hi, guys” Debby sat down.
“What are you doing here, Debby?” Vera quired immediately.

“What are you doing here too?” she returned the question. “Don’t be scared, I’ve not come here to take your boyfriend from you. I’ve come to show you this” she brought out the death note.
“Oh, my God!” Lucky exclaimed. “Where did you get that?” he wanted to take it from her but she withdrew her hand swiftly.
“That book is a curse, Debby” Vera said.
“Not until I use it” she stood up to meet a child whom she asked her name. After getting the information, she wrote down the child’s name on the note waiting for her to die. Several minutes passed, yet the child kept playing on the said. So she angry went back to Lucky and Vera who started laughing at her.
“Why are you both laughing?” she asked.
“The note is fake!” they answered at the same time.
Yes, the note was fake. Shakiti changed it coz he knew that Michael was gonna die after which he disappeared with the original.
