Anywhere else

Wanda stared in disgust at the smelly and disgusting bathroom she had to clean as part of her punishment for punching Steve last night. Even though the very thought of picking up a mop and trying to clean the place filled her with dread she was extremely glad that she had punched him. Steve was the man who had brought the orphanage from the previous owner who hadn't been much better himself. He was planning to break down the old building and build a new shopping mall in its place. But if he waited long enough, the building would just collapse on it's own so he would save some money there. Steve had made a pass at Wanda the previous night when she was cleaning the dishes as part of her chores. Wanda had lost her temper and the next thing Steven knew he was laying on the ground clutching his bleeding nose. But last night Wanda had finally made a decision to get as far away from this hellhole as was humanly possible. She just couldn't take one more day cleaning up or at least tying to clean up the horrible pigsty that they lived in.

"Heysis.Whatchadoing?" Asked Pietro, Wanda's brother as he walked into the bathroom. Wanda who had been mopping the floor stopped and turned around with a scowl but her scowl immediately turned into concern as she saw the black eye that covered half of Pietro's face.

"Pietro. What happened? Have you been trying to hit on some girl again?"

Pietro shook his head and tried to smile but grimaced as it hurt too much to try and move his face. "Mr. Fletcher got mad at me because Iwouldn'torrather Icouldn'tliftthefurnitureandsocouldn'thelphimredecoratehisroom."

Wanda was used to hearing her brother talk so fast and was the only one who could actually understand what he was saying. Her face got contorted with anger and Wanda threw the mop on the ground and pulling Pietro after her she went straight to her room and started throwing all the things she owned into a battered old suitcase.

Confused Pietro asked "Wandawhatexactlyareyoudoing?" Wanda did not look up as she said, "I am packing because we are leaving this place." Pietro's face widened into a grin but he grimaced only slightly and then he was just gone. Two seconds later before Wanda could even figure out what was happening she felt a gust of wind around her and then saw her brother who stood happily beside two suitcases filled with everything they owned. Wanda smiled. She was used to her brother doing this. He had been doing it for as far as she could remember but for some reason they had always kept it a secret. Pietro shuffled whined "Canwegonow?"

"How exactly are we going to manage to walk out of the orphanage in broad daylight? If anyone caught us they would kill us you know."

"iamgoingtogetusoutofhereintwosecondsandnoonewillevennotice."

Wanda nodded uncertainly and before she knew it she was holding on to Piero on the suitcases for her dear life and before she could get even get a glimpse of anything they were passing Pitro stooped. Wanda dropped the suitcases and looked around. They were at the station. She went to the counter and brought a ticket to the next bus that was leaving. She did not even care where they went so long as it was away from here. After she got the ticket she sat down next to Pietro and just looked around at all the people milling in and out of the station. They had never been out of the orphanage much and on the rare occasion that they had they had been too busy making sure that they did everything right to even notice any of the things that they passed. Finally Pietro peeled his eyes from the scene and looking at his sister with a slight smile he said "sowherearewegoingtosatrtournewlivessis?" Wanda looked at the ticket briefly before she replied "Venice."
