Forever Separated

April - III

At first she thought he was another Martian with the same idea, but then she realised he didn't have the traditional tattoo that allowed them to jump through dimensions. You see, humans would need a passport to fly to another country, but Martians like April had flower tattoos. There were no customs or checkouts or whatnot, just an invisible wall that you walked through into a room. Really, the hardest part of jumping through dimensions is finding the invisible wall. Once you got that done, you're good.

April knew of one of the many invisiwalls since she was a youngling. Since everyone ignored the fact that she existed, she used that time to explore. To take her mind off everything bad that was going on in her life at the moment. She felt free, walking through the many open spaces, climbing over boulders and climbing trees so she could stay on the right track. To her, that was definitely the life. She couldn't wish for anything better.

But one day she stumbled across a path she hadn't seen before. April was a curious one, and it definitely got the better of her. She kept her bearings as she walked down the path, because this place was new to her and she wanted to make sure she got out alive.

To April, it seemed as though she'd been walking for ever, but really it was a few minutes. She stopped, and was about to turn around when a leaf fell from the large trees high above. At first, she thought it was her imagination playing tricks on her when the leaf disappeared, but she wanted to test it. She picked up a decent sized rock, which was about the size of her hand, slightly smaller, and threw it in the direction of where the leaf vanished. The rock also vanished. This was new to April, and she kept in throwing rocks in different places and figured that it was a large circle that took up the path. She walked around it and threw rocks from there, and it turns out that you can only enter from one side. It's as though there's nothing there if you go from the back.

Now, April had heard about the 'teleporting invisiwall' and how it was a an achievement to find one. She couldn't believe it - she'd accomplished what many haven't even thought about. She wanted to test it, but never got the courage, so all she knew was that there was an invisiwall out in the forest.

April finally decided she wanted to take the risk of going to the Forbidden Planet, a.k.a Earth. She also knew that it was risky, and if any Martian found out, it meant death. But April was ready for it.

'I'm going to do it,' she whispered to herself.

A few seconds later, she jumped in.
