What was Shun? Nobody with eyes like that could be human. It wasn't possible. And how did I survive being hit by that car? There shouldn't of been any way that I lived. I had so many unanswered questions that I wanted to put to rest. The door opened to my room, and instinctively thought it was Shun. I calmed down when I saw it was a doctor. Mine probably. He held a chart and looked at me then smiled. "Well, it's good to see you're awake." Is it really a good thing that I'm awake?
He placed my chart on the foot of my bed and looked out the window of my room. He said to himself, "What a beautiful day." I raised an eyebrow. You couldn't even see the blue sky or sun through endless gray clouds. This guy thinks gloomy weather is beautiful? Well, I guess that's his preference. Parts of the clouds were lit up with the sunlight on the other side.
They seemed oddly high up too. This day was getting weirder and weirder every minute. I turned back to my doctor and asked, "So, when am I going to be able to go home?" He took one last look at the sky and turned back to me. "According to your chart you should be able to go home tomorrow with the way you're healing. It's really quite odd that somebody heals this quickly. Oh well, everyone's body is different."
I've only been here three days and I'm already going home? My doctor walked out of my room and took my chart with him. I reached for the remote that went to my TV and flipped it on. I wasn't surprised when I saw the only thing they had was the weather channel. There was some skinny weatherman pointing to the green screen and showing what was going on. Wait a minute. According to his map, all of Bay City was sunny and nice right now. I looked back out of the window. That was not nice and sunny. You've got your info wrong dude.
A sudden report flipped on and there was one of Bay City's channel 4 news reporters standing somewhere in the business district. It was another Slasher victim. They warned the viewers that the picture may be too gruesome for some younger people before they showed it. There was a young man, in maybe his twenties, laying in an alley without a shirt on and his body slashed apart. I shook my head. For some reason, crime had spiked heavily in Bay City. And about the same time Shun started his downward spiral. All of us just agreed to say that Shun got caught up in it. There were many theories about the Slasher.
Some people said it was gang affiliated. While others just went with him being some seriously messed up maniac. But all the evidence pointed to gangs. All of his victims were about the same age in appearance. They all were strong and healthy, lived on the streets, were highly involved with crime, and all of the male victims had been shirtless when they were attacked. This made a lot of investigators go down the path of sexual assault, but found no more evidence to justify it.
They also never found any trace of what type of weapon the Slasher used. Whatever it was, it was sharp. They had one victim that had actually been cut in half right under his ribs. I didn't like the thought of Shun being out there with that deranged maniac on the loose. Even if Shun wasn't human. He had still been my friend for a long time. Maybe Shun's the Slasher. It would of made sense if he was. Shun had ninja skills and was very lethal with a sword. But a lot of the murders took place when he was with us. So Shun couldn't of done those dastardly deeds.
The streets of Bay City weren't safe like they once had been before. It was really sad if you thought about it. It was starting to grow dark outside now, but the clouds were still there. It was as if they hadn't even moved. I pushed the little button on my bed and the lights in my room turned off as I got ready to fall asleep. It had been a weird day for me, and I just wanted to escape it. Maybe go back to that beautiful forest and see the face of that black winged angel again. I was just about to drift off, when I got a chill up my spine. I heard the sound of wind, and turned to see my room's window had been opened just a few inches. Was it open earlier? I didn't think so.
The wind was making my curtains blow with it. In the darkness, I saw that my curtains had also been closed. Nobody had been in the room to close them. I was getting a bad feeling about all of this. I tried to shut my eyes and go to sleep, but I found myself looking back at the window. The wind outside suddenly picked up, and the curtains flew up with it. Staring at me outside of the window, were two glowing red eyes that had slit pupils like Shun's. But the eyes I had seen Shun with were golden in color, not red. I started to panic and tried to find the nurse call button. I looked back at the window, and the eyes were still there.
They then just vanished. Like whatever was out there walked away. But I was four stories up. Nothing could walk away from up here. Unless they had a really long ladder. A nurse came into my room. I hadn't even noticed that I had succeeded in hitting the button. "Yes? How can I help you?" I didn't want to tell her about the eyes. They might think I was crazy and send me to the psychiatry ward. "Oh. Uh, the window was opened. I was wondering if you could close it for me." She walked over there and slid it shut. The curtains stopped blowing in the wind now that it had been cut off. I thanked her and she left me alone.

Sleep was out of the question that night. I had maybe dozed off once or twice, but only for a few minutes. It was morning now, and still cloudy. Although the weatherman kept saying was sunny. He's going to have an angry audience. Dan and the others showed up early that morning. Shun wasn't with them. Murucho asked me nicely, "So, how ya feeling, Alice?" I tried to not look so tired, and I was sure I was failing doing that. "I feel pretty good. A little tired. Hey, did you here? They're letting me go today." They all looked at each other. Runo asked me, "Are you sure? So soon after you got ran over?"
They were all thinking the same thing. I shrugged my shoulders and said, "I asked them the same thing. But apparently I'm healing pretty fast." They all seemed skeptical about it. I hated to ask them, but I went ahead, "Where's Shun?" Murucho pushed his glasses up and was about to speak when Dan stole his spotlight. "None of us know where he went, but given his streak lately there's no telling. I was sure he'd come and see you. Maybe he'll come by later." Murucho narrowed his eyes at Dan and asked me, "So, what time are they letting you out today? So I can send Kato to come and pick you up."
I turned down the TV so we could all hear each other clearly. "I have to be out of here by 1 'o' clock." Murucho started speaking again, but my focus fell back on the window. The curtains were open again. And nobody had opened them just like nobody had closed them. My eyes found where those red ones were last night. I was till disturbed by that even though they were no longer there. Murucho's voice broke my concentration on the window. "Well, we need to head out, Alice. I'll send Kato for you when you get out. Kay?" I nodded my head and watched them file out of my room once more. I faced back up at the TV and saw there was another Slasher attack. And this one was only about a mile from the hospital.
I cringed at the thought that those red eyes may of belonged to the Slasher. What if he wasn't human at all? They showed another picture of the victim. Another male with his body torn apart and shirtless. You had to admit, the victims were all attractive. The female ones always had seemingly perfect bodies while the males were sculpted the same way. The eyes on this victim were open this time.
I nearly lost my breath. His eyes were a vibrant green, and slitted pupils. How come the reporters weren't talking about his eyes? That seemed like something that would at least come up in my opinion. Maybe they thought he was wearing contacts. I could see plainly that he didn't have on any. He was one of those things. Whatever Shun was. Whatever that thing was outside of my window last night. What was going on in the world now? It was like I could see things that others couldn't.
Or if they could they didn't pay any mind to it. Perhaps I was just more observant than I used to be. My departure time came quickly, and I found myself on crutches and waited for Kato to pull up. I hated these things. They hurt my arms, but I couldn't stand on my still hurting ankle. Kato pulled up in front of the hospital and got out to help me into the limo. Kato was always so kind. Murucho was lucky to have him. When we got to Murucho's place, Kato helped me all the way up to the floor that Dan and the others were on. Julie was the first to see me enter the room, and jumped up to go and hug me.
She remembered my injuries last minute and stopped short of hugging me. "Sorry, Alice. Almost forgot." I smiled and told her it was ok. Shun wasn't in the room with the others. Not even in the corner. I had so much to ask him, and I wasn't about to give up either. I wanted to know what was up with the eyes and what he meant about me not listening to his warning and being in debt to him. The others started to ask me how I was feeling. I told them all I felt fine, but was going to go to sleep early.
They all seemed to understand. It was kind of Murucho to let me stay at his house, even though Runo's was very close to his. Runo didn't seem to mind. I started to think that she knew that Murucho's staff could take care of me better than they could since they had to work most of the day. My room was all made up for me. Fresh blankets and pillows, and they even put a get well card in the room. I smiled. I loved having such great friends. I carefully climbed into the bed, making sure to not move my injured body parts. Falling asleep now was easier than last night at the hospital. Maybe it was because it was still daytime and I felt safer in Murucho's mansion than that hospital.

My hours of peaceful sleep were shattered when something burst through my room window. I couldn't make out what it was in the darkness, but it was big. The window was destroyed and glass sparkled on the floor with what little moonlight got through the clouds.
I was leaned against the bed frame of the bed, trying to get as far away from whatever was in my room as I could. It looked human in shape, but that flew out of the door when two large, black wings unfolded from the being. The wings were just as wide as the figure was tall. Maybe even bigger. In my state of shock, I saw the intruder was shirtless and wearing torn black jeans.
I was horrified and sure my death was upon me. The eyes on the creature were shut, but when they opened they stood out against the dark room. Brilliant gold and slitted pupils. He stepped into the dim moonlight, and I saw his face. Shun. I froze where I was sitting, and took a deep breath and screamed.
