A few days had passed since then and Violet had indeed managed to get a pair of shoes and a coat. A sturdy pair of fitted gloves were also added to her wardrobe. She had since spent her days wandering around different parts of the city and fixing small things as a way of earning money. She had yet to speak a word to anyone but people began recognizing her and coming to her for things to fix. Some paid her with cash while others paid her with food or a hot shower. She was grateful for all of it but never got close to anyone. One miscalculated or careless touch to a person could end badly. Her powers were constantly working and had a tendency to break things if she didn't keep them on a tight leash. Sometimes though, breaking things was exactly what people needed.

Today for instance, an elderly man needed a tree stump removed from his backyard and came to Violet asking if she knew of a way to help. The woman nodded silently and followed the man to his house then to the backyard. He pointed to the stump and walked back inside his house, knowing that Violet didn't like to be watched when she did this sort of stuff. The woman knelt down next to the stump and stared at it hard, putting into her mind that it had to be broken. She slowly put her index finger on it and in less than a second the stump had disintegrated into nothing. There was simply a large hole in the ground where it used to be. Tilting her head to the side, she studied the ugly gap in the ground. I should fix this. This needs to be fixed. Putting both her hands into the dirt, she watched as the gold dust covered her hands and seeped into the ground. Breaking things as easy, it was fixing things that seemed to take more effort. The ground began to wiggle and mix around until grass filled in over the dirt and it was like there was never a hole there. Sitting on the cold ground, Violet rubbed her temple to help alleviate the headache that was starting. This seemed to happen whenever she overexerted herself and she told herself it was time to stop for the day.

Knocking on the backdoor, Violet walked into the house to let herself out when she noticed a package on the table with her name on it. There was a note on top and the woman cautiously picked it up. Here my dear, I guessed at your size and thought you might like a change of clothing. There is an apple in the fruit basket if you'd like to take that as well. Thank you for your help. The handwriting was neat and tiny, something only an older person could really accomplish. Violet assumed that he had gone for a nap or something and grabbed the package as well as the apple. Taking a large bite out of it, she left the house and locked the door behind her.

Night fell quickly and Violet began walking to the church where she had been sleeping for the last two nights. Sliding underneath the fence, she stopped short when she saw someone sitting in the stone chair that was in the center of the church. They hadn't seen her yet thankfully and she turned when a woman's voice startled her. "Talk and if you are wasting our time." She was interrupted by the person, a man by the sound of his voice. As he was talking, Violet slid closer to the fence and made her way toward the opening again. There was a woman standing there and next to her was a man that was probably her brother. He was probably considered handsome but it was his hair that caught Violet's attention. Her, the woman who hadn't been interested by anything since the experiments, stared hard at this man with silver hair. It was obviously dyed but it was almost the same color as her eyes and for some reason it pleased her to have "her" color on him. Feeling someone staring at him, his eyes turned and searched before locking directly onto hers. He seemed to be taken aback by her eyes, like everyone else and opened his mouth to shout at her. Before he could make a sound, Violet slipped under the opening in the fence and disappeared into the night.

As soon as she was on the other side of the fence, Violet ran as if the devil himself were after her. However, it wasn't because she was scared. As usual she didn't feel any emotions about her experience. She wasn't sure if she could feel emotions anymore. Her face stayed completely blank and gave nothing away. Her thoughts stayed hidden and safe. Violet ran until she reached the other side of the city, quite a distance for other people but she didn't even notice. She walked into a store that was just getting ready to close. "I'm sorry ma'am but we're just closing." Violet pulled the package out from under her coat and shook it slightly before gesturing to the restrooms. "Well if you just need to change, go ahead but don't take anything okay?" She nodded and slipped into the bathroom, locking the door behind her.

Pulling the wrappings off the package, Violet smiled at the purple blouse in front of her. It was a nice sturdy material that fit nicely and paired well with the black jeans in the package. Slipping her old clothes off, she set them on the sink before pulling the new ones on and sliding her coat on over it. Her coat was leather outside with a nice soft fur lining the inside for warmth. I look pretty good in this. Who would have thought? The woman left the restroom quickly, nodding in thanks to the clerk before leaving.

A few more days pass and Violet had been doing quite well for being homeless in a foreign city. The people seemed to like her and she wasn't really a danger to anyone as far as they were concerned. She kept to herself most of the time and if she didn't have anything to eat that day, she simply didn't eat. No stealing, no bullying, she was sometimes better behaved than some kids who had lived there for their entire lives.

The woman was learning more and more about her enhancements and found that she could break things all day long but there seemed to be a limit to fixing things. Just the day before, she had been tasked by a woman to try to fix her son's broken arm. He had fallen out of a tree and the mother didn't have a vehicle to take him to the hospital. Violet had accepted and touched the boy's arm, watching the bone set itself right, only to slump to the ground as soon as it was done. She had stayed unconscious for a few minutes and her enhancement had wreaked havoc on the ground under her. The grass had died, the soil had turned bad and all the insects around her had been killed. When she woke up, the woman was staring at her with a mixture of horror and worry. Violet shook herself off then quickly left, not staying around long enough for any form of payment. She hadn't fixed or broken anything since then but she had a feeling that today, something was going to go wrong.
