RE Eternal Peaks Psychiatric Institution She listened. Jinx had excellent hearing. It was a gift or at least part of her gift. At an early age her grandmother taught her, if you can hear it, if you can see it, you can move it. The sound was distinct. It wasnt something she heard often, but every sound made a lasting impression in the girls mind. Shoes clicking on the floor. This was not one of the brutes that had man handled her into the van or this place. No. This person was.different. Light and yet confident. A woman. Yes. A woman with.nice shoes. She was walking at a steady pace. Over and over her feet hit the floor. Tap. Tap. Tap. No, Jinx thought with a start. Dont focus. Dont think about her shoes. Dont move them. Remember. She balled her hands into fists, pulling every bit of restraint she had not to concentrate on the womans shoes. Jinx knew full well she could move the womans shoes, her feet even, causing her to fall, and that would be disastrous. Taking a deep breath, she calmed herself just in time before the blindfold was pulled from her eyes, and the blind, bright light of the room flooded her senses. No funny business, or you will never see again. Nod if you understand. Jinx nodded quickly, the gag still biting into her mouth, pulling at the corners. Though she swallowed, saliva still collected on her bottom lip, threatening to drip down to her chest at any moment. She looked around the room at the various people. Some seemed to be in a similar predicament. Others were clearly along the same lines as those responsible for her presence. Whats going on, she thought. What is this place? It was a question that she hoped would soon be answered by the woman who caught her attention. It was the woman the shoes belonged to, and she was about to speak. Eternal Peaks? Cooperate? Team? A psychiatric team? Why am I here? Her eyes reflected her confusion, and as Rupi spoke about understanding the unique conditions of their bodies and minds, Jinx slowly turned to look at the others. Our.bodies and minds. Turning her attention back to Rupi, she listened as she began to read off a serious of letters and numbers. MB..thats me? Cell B-4? I dont know where that is. What am I supposed to do? Where is that? Questions and concerns that would soon be answered. The man who had remained behind her the entire time, grabbed her and hauled her to her feet. His look said all that needed to be said. She nodded to his silent warnings, and he urged her forward. As they left the room and started down what seemed like an endless hallway, Jinx wondered if he knew why she was there. It was a question she quickly answered in her own mind. Of course he does. Why else would he warn me? He knows what I can do. So if he knows, they all know. He stopped at a door that looked like every other down the hall except this door had the letters and numbers of her cell displayed. Home sweet home, was all he said as he opened the door and shoved her inside. Jinx looked at him as he closed the door. Thank you, she mumbled softly, not wanting to forget her manners even in this place, this situation. The tears were already threatening, and to be honest, she saw no reason to hide them. Finding comfort against a wall, she leaned on it and slid down to the floor where she drew her knees up to her chest and began to cry softly as she drew into herself as tight as possible.
