That night, Ash decided to stay at the Pokemon Center instead of stay with Mary. He was about a block away from the Pokemon Center when he heard a scream. Not a normal scream. Not even a scream. It was more like a high-pitched, terrified screech.  He couldn't really detect where it was coming from, but he went running in the direction he thought it came from. He heard it again, but this time it was a gasping sound, as if someone was being strangled. He turned into an alley. He turned and turned until he was out of breath. That's when he turned the last corner and saw it.  Mary was in a filthy corner, covered with blood and a knife sticking out of her left jugular vein. As Ash drew nearer, he noticed her eyes were moving. She was still alive! "Mary!" Ash gasped as he ran toward her."Mary! Who did this to you?" Ash asked frantically. "Ash. It was...it was." Just then, she rolled her head and fell over on her side. The knife went deeper into her neck just as it started to rain. As Aash called the police, he stood in the phone booth and noticed something. That night wasn't naturally cold. It was as if the cold was sinking deeper and deeper inside of him, into his soul, and that's when he saw Misty.
