When she awoke all she felt was white hot pain and the smell of rubbing alcohol. It made her want to vomit, but she stomached it back down as her eyes scanned the room. It was a hospital but nothing looked like anything she had seen before in Japan, because everything looked old fashioned.
She tried to sit up, but the pain was too much so she grudgingly stayed still. The door to her room then opened and a nurse walked in, accompanied by a doctor. Their outfits looked like something out of a movie, and the strange looks they were giving her didn't help.
"Hello Miss, my name is Dr. Heinzik." The man greeted, putting on a fake smile as he walked over to greet his now 'awake' patient. "Hi," shura replied, thanking god for Shiro pushing her to take English classes, though the doctor seemed to have an accent. The nurse was keeping her distance while the doctor was doing all the work.
"Do you know how I got here and where I am?" she asked, eyeing the Doctor as he checked her wounds. Apparently she had two fractured ribs, a broken left arm, and her left knee was dislocated. "You were involved in a car accident, the man who brought you here said you walked out in front of the road out of nowhere and he hit you," he said as he finished with checking her injuries. So that's what that was.
Shura suddenly was curious, "if you don't mind me asking, but what is the date today?" The doctor, who was muttering with the nurse turned and replied, "It's July 14th, two weeks since you were brought in." She shook her head and asked again, "No I meant the year." Doctor Heinzik then replied with a deadpan look on his face, "1939." The shock she felt ran down to her bones, her body tingled as if it was waking up from being numb. There's no way its 1939, this has to be some kind of joke right?
The good doctor interrupted her thoughts as he walked back over with what seemed to be her personal effects, including the pocket watch and the empty journal. "We found these on you when you were brought here, may I ask what your name is? I can tell you're not from around here," he said calmly.
She eyes him cautiously, "Shura, and I'm sorry if my memory is a little foggy but where exactly am I?"
The doctor handed her the items, along with her jacket, but the rest of her clothes seemed to be missing. "That's natural, you're in Berlin's finest hospital, and I'm one of the few doctor's here that can speak English," he responded, sending another fake smile her way. Shura could tell they were either afraid of her, or maybe they were confused by her attire. Either way she didn't want to stay here, if she could get to a branch of the True Cross Order she could maybe explain to them how she got into this whole mess.
"How long do I have to stay here?" she asked, eyeing the doctor as he switched out her IV, not noticing the small pain from the needle. It never bothered her; she was a doctor after all. Heinzik glanced at her then continued on with his work, "Unfortunately the private police would like to have a word with you about what happened that night. Apparently their looking for the man who hit you the other night." It was subtle but she could tell he was lying, it was then that she realized why the nurses had been uneasy around her. They think I'm a spy!
Thankfully her skills as a ninja had not gone to waste as her face remained calm and impassive, but that was not the same for her brain raced with ways to get out of her predicament, but she had no way to get into contact with the True Cross Order or Mephisto, she didn't even know if he was in Germany. Magenta eyes followed the doctor's movement's as he kept babbling and them making his way out the door, claiming that he was going to get the young officer's. As soon as the door closed she jumped to her feet, ignoring the pain as best as she could. In a flurry of haste she put on her clothes and a random white patient shirt she found lying in a chair.
The room she was currently in was on the second story but there was a tree outside the window. Making her way over to the door she peeked outside to see the doctor and two intimidating men walking towards the room, gun's in hand. She wobbled over to the bed and grabbed the sheets, tying them together and hanging it out the window as she tied the end to old heater near the window.
The door handle turned and in a painful move she ascended down the makeshift rope. She was lucky is was nighttime or else someone might have noticed her by now as her feet met the ground. Walking as fast as her wounded body could take her, she made her way to the gate. The hospital was in the city and surrounded by apartments and businesses, but everything was dark so she really couldn't see much. As she reached the gate she suddenly heard dogs barking and men shouting. Quickly, she unlatched it and walked out, disappearing into the shadows as she rounded a corner and entered an alley.
