In the cold of the night, In the beauty of the large city of Japan, The streets lit up brightly expect for the abandoned alleys, only homes to the homeless and the torn and broken. Not all the streets had people on them, oh no.

Some were quite, deadly.. And Some were full of the screams of the accused. Of the Guilty, of the hurting, the lost. OF the teens that retreated to them to cut, to jump and to murder themselves. Full of unsanitary acts between teens, adults and animals.

Horrid things took place in places like this, graffeti drafted across the walls, the stones painted with curse words and pictures that could pass for real, but illegal art. Rats ran to the garbage for their meals, hungry from waiting for so long.

But on this particular night, in a certain alleyway? Where the sky was starry and beauitful? The silence was all but gone, and A man? A man that was scuffy and slightly panicked, turned the corner and gasped at what he saw.

A dead end.

" CRAP!" He huffed in agony as he held his sore sides, he looked behind him, his arms clasped around a large bag, but it didn't belong to a little old lady. It didn't belong to a sweet woman with a baby, No.. It was much more important.

The man gasped out, he held the bag in one arm while the other held a gun, He placed the bag down and reached into his pocket, quickly trying to load the gun, his hands shook untl he heard the wall scrape.

A long trecerious scrape that echoed through the dark alley way. The man suddenly shook harder, cursing as his bulllets slipped out of his hand, and clattered onto the cold ground that was caked with dirt and mud. The man looked up and swallowed harshly, his adams apple bobbing as he slipped down and searched for his bullets.

His cold fingers slipped over the medal, and the man swallowed in relief until the scarpe sounded louder, and the alley echoed with footsteps. But when the man looked? He saw no one. Not a soudl was there but the footsteps got louder as the man shook ad loaded his gun,

His eyes showed his upmost terror, his body shook with it and his mouth muttered prayers even though he hadn't believed in so long. He shook, his coat dreching slightly with his sweat as it slid down his cheek,

He finally got the bullets in and pointed the gun in the walkers direction,

" C-Come any farther and I'll S-Shoot!" he gasped out, It was more of a scream for help, the the footsteps started to grow louder and faster, crap. The person, or whatever else that could be there? Was running towards him..

He suddenly started to shoot his gun over and over again, Screaming as he forgot abouthis specail item and started to shoot faster, " STAY AWAY!!!" He screamed, his bullets buncing on and off the walls, the running stopped and the man froze,

He smiled almost in a crazy way, as if it all had ended and he coudl run once again; but when he turned his head he saw something move, his heart clenched danergously as he looked. But he found nothing..

He looked and looked, searchign for the footsteps that plagued him at the moment, and drove him temporarly insane; but he found not a thing. Instead he looked and froze as two red eyes stared at him, but it shocked him.. They were coming from the wall, and it sent his heart compulsing as his eyes met the firgures.

He pointed his gun up, his hand shaking, a crazy freaky smile came over his mouth, pulling at his lips as he smirked, He pulled the trigger, but it shocked him when nothing came out, he shot over and over again, but apparently he used it all out on the shadows that seemed to surround him at this point.
