Chapter 1 - A Crimson Moon

24th November 2029,

It was a normal day. Except for the night. The moon was dyed in red. 

It wasn't just simple red. It's the color of blood. Why was the moon covered in blood?

The answer is simple, It wasn't covered in blood. My vision was red. My eyes were bleeding. Strangely, I couldn't feel any pain.

What have I become? I looked at my hands, they were also in the color of red. I could tell they weren't bleeding but they were red.

I had gotten involved in something I shouldn't have.

...

I had finished my work and I was heading home. Then a friend called me to come to their place...

I refused. They dragged me there, regardless. I was annoyed but I couldn't do anything. 

Then they took me to an abandoned building... It was quite creepy but it felt quite nice somehow. It was quiet and there was almost no sound.

My friend didn't seem afraid at all, is he just ignorant or fearless? For me, I wasn't scared but I knew something was here.

Something I shouldn't get involved with. My intuition was telling me to leave immediately. So I tried to tell him to leave.

"Hey, Kevin. I think we should leave. It's late night and we don't get anything from doing this..." 

"Just say you're scared, Justin." He laughed and made fun of me. We were alone.

I was quite annoyed but I didn't let it get to me.

"Let's just leave already..."

I tried to leave but Kevin grabbed me.

"No, wait. I heard something in that direction, let's go check it." 

What? Then isn't that more the reason we should leave immediately?...

"I've seen enough horror movies, let's not get involved with it."

I was being reasonable, many people ends up letting curiosity kill them in these horror movies...

And that wasn't going to happen to me, no way.

"Dude, you're really that scared? It's not my first time exploring abandoned buildings. You have nothing to be scared of."

Kevin was clearly bragging to me looking so smug and all but it didn't matter to me, I just want to sleep already....

"I'm not scared of anything. It's just better to not get involved with anything."

"Alright, I see... I never knew you were such a scaredy cat, Justin... How disappointing. Are you even a man?"

"Fine, fine. If you're really that sure then how about you go first, Kevin?"

At this point, I didn't care whatever happened to him. Even if I ends up in prison getting accused of his disappearance...

It's not like I'm the one that will kill him so I don't have to feel guilty about it. And it's better to just go to prison than ending up in a horror movie as some dumbass like him.

"Oh? I thought we were friends... What a pity, Justin."

"Yeah, yeah. We aren't friends anymore then, let go of me already."

I was already reaching my limit as my face was full of annoyance.

"Okay, fine. I'll let you go now..."

Kevin finally let go of me but then-

"There!"

He pushed me towards the place where we previously heard the noise.

'What?...'

After he pushed me, I fell down with my face first and I almost fainted.

There was too much force in his push and I had no strength left because I hadn't done anything other than work today. 

A sudden headache got to me but it wasn't any normal headache.

There was voices in my head... I couldn't make out what they were saying but there was 4 voices in total.

I felt a sudden pain go through me and I felt sadness. They weren't my emotions but it was vivid. 

'Is this the emotions of the voices in my head?...'

It was strange, it felt otherworldly. 

However, I wasn't scared. Why would I be? I'm tired of this life and I don't have any reasons to live anymore...

So I wasn't afraid of something like death. But I had a feeling, my intuition tells me that my death is far from now.

I wasn't going to die here. I knew it. The spirits of this abandoned feelings, whoever or whatever they are. They didn't want to kill me.

Instead they wanted me to understand them. Feel their emotions and pain. It was worse than simply dying but I had felt this pain before.

No, it was something equivalent to the pain I'm feeling right now... But let's not talk about it. 

...

Kevin pushed Justin and watched as Justin didn't get up even after a minute.

"Hey... Justin?..."

Now he realized what he had done.

He was quite frightened. After all, he didn't mean to do anything to Justin. He just did it out of frustration. He believed there was nothing supernatural in this building.

"Justin! Wake up!"

Seeing as Justin fainted and didn't get up, Kevin was panicking. 

But he wouldn't need to panic so much... 

After all, he'll die here.

"You... Have... Disturbed... Us..."

There was just one voice. Just one voice. It sounded just loud enough for Kevin to hear.

"Now... You... will ..die."

"Wait, wait! Why!? Give me a chance here!"

Kevin tried to speak with the spirit. It'd be a lie to say he wasn't scared but it was not his first time seeing spirits.

He just didn't find them dangerous because they never did anything to him. Or couldn't.

But he knew this one could! And would too!

"Already... Given..."

Then another voice came.

"But... You... Betrayed... Your... Friend... You... Deserve... To... Die..."

It was from behind Kevin.

"Wait-"

Then Kevin was killed by the 2 spirits.
