”JUMP!”
The last words heard from the unusual Caucasian that resided in the heart of Xi’an in the Province of Shaanxi. It had been, five or six years since Katie was trapped inside of the walls of training and punishment. Since she was ordered every day, and forgotten in the crowd of faces. That was probably the very last time Katie sat still for more than a couple days, since then she has been moving across the planet, becoming an unrespectable person in society. A thief? An adventurer? A bored girl in the daily routines of the public that was all. These every day routines grew old fast, and the young girl had no want or need to sit still and follow people to and from work. The woman held her hands out before her, stretching the arms as the hazy eyes wandered over a photo album book that lain open on a table before her.
’’Where to go today….’’ With a deep sigh she closed the photo album, only to let it drop open to a randomly selected page. That’s where the color of a deep green caught her eyes, the rolling hills of lush green with castles and small villages. Her mind ran wild with the thought of what Ireland looked this very day, how far advanced could it have been from these pictures? Her head shook, vibrating the long red strings of hair that held in a pony tail tight on the top of her head. Still standing the woman took a few steps across a cluttered room and picked up a bright orange sweater with the words ‘’Why Run?’’ Across the front and back of the sweater, and pulled it on zipping it up. Her hazy eyes searched across the room, and found her hip bag.
She couldn’t carry purses or backpacks with her, so she started carrying hip bags, easy to hide under her shirt and completely un-noticeable that held some of the money she had….Collected… Over the years. Just enough for emergencies, hotel room, clothing, fines… ‘’Ireland…Naiser Vail…Hmm… Sure why not..’’ She pulled the picture of Ireland out of her photo album and stared at it for a moment, concentrating on the green hills and the castle looming on the hill. She stared at the little town that was old, old world as in no fancy shops or internet. She stared at the picture for a moment longer, just enough to gather her thoughts and position herself in the picture in her mind. She had no need to look at a map, because maps surrounded every piece of wall around her, she could see what the lateral angles for Ireland was, so she just had to pin point it to Naiser Vail and this town she could see in the picture.
Her thought complete as she dropped the picture back onto the table, her entire form disappearing from sight, almost like she had never been there at all. The picture fell to the photo album and her room was empty once again.
The next things her senses could grasp was the sounds of chitter chatter all around her, voices echoed through shop walls and the rustling of feet made her pull her eyes open. Her hands rose to her eyes and rubbed gently at them as she adjusted to the sunlight. Then they rose through the long strings of red, pulling them back as they moved to the back of her head, pulling the pony tail a bit tighter as she ran her fingertips over the skull badge that sat on the pony tail. Hazy eyes opened wide and stared around at the people around her the stores that were not what she had seen in the picture. So Naiser Vail had updated since the picture it was last in. And now she was lost where she could have been, all she knew for sure was that she was at least in the right area of the island.
’’Hey… Nice.’’ A grin slipped over thin pink lips, and quickly she reached to the front of her shirt and pulled rounded rose tinted sunglasses off it’s hook on her shirt and placed them on her nose. Staring around for a moment, lanky pale arms reached up and crossed beneath her chest and she started to walk forwards, her eyes peering into the corners of the town, looking at all the little modern day shops they had and how cutely everyone was dressed in the styles of today. She was too down on the island when she thought it would have been stuck in the past, but again you jump and take a chance, you never know what you’ll find out. Carefully Katie took her time, peering into the windows of the shops looking through their little collections. ’’So cute!’’ She exclaimed to what seemed herself as she stared at a cupcake through the window, in the shape of a little skull just like the one she had in her hair.
