Wandering around the store You came across many strange things however one things caught my attention. There was a Jade statue of a girl. She was an Asian beauty of some kind. Stunning and gorgeous, sexy and curvy in all the right ways. She was posed stretching out his arms and leaning against a wall. The thing that you noticed more than anything was there was a jewel of some kind in bellybutton.
It was an odd navel piercing it looked like a pearl of some kind. However this pearl had a strange swirl pattern in it that was kind of mesmerizing. Reaching out to touch it you found the pearl was loose on the statue and that if you wanted you could pop it off…
Now you were no thief. You had never stolen a thing in your life before. The last thing you wanted was to ruin a priceless Jade Statue.
You decided to stop looking at it for now as you saw the old man running the shop. He hadn’t moved even an inch. He looked like he was at least 100 with his eyes barely open and long white beard. He even dressed like he was in ancient times.
“Sir what can you tell me about that Jade statue?” You asked him curious.
The old man didn’t move an inch. He nearly started speaking to you in a strange Haiku…
“The Beauty is Cursed
She is forever seeking
Lost to what she has.”
“Umm…okay? How much does it cost?” You Asked.
“Everything you have
But nothing that you possess
Your life will be her.”
The old man replied again with another vague haiku.
“Uhh…ok…so what if I just took it?” You asked sarcastically at this point just curious.
“The girl will follow you
Her reflection in all things
You life slowly fades.”
He replied again in Haiku form.
At this point you gave up on getting a straight answer as you walked back to the statue. You knew you weren’t going to steal the statue. It was too heavy and big anyway. But something about that navel piercing just called to you…
Reaching up with your hand you felt it coming loose again as you gave it a small tug. You heard a small little clicking noise as it came free and you were now holding it in your hand.
You looked around and the old man still had not moved as you discreetly put the jewel into your pocket. You were about to move away when suddenly the statue that was left over started to rumble.
“Uh oh…” You said worried.
The Statue suddenly started to crack…more and more cracks suddenly started forming and within seconds the entire thing fell into a million pieces like the whole thing was made of glass…Now nothing more than a pile of Jade rocks the statue lay there in a heap of nothingnes.
“Uhh….oops.” You said as you needed to turn And leave now less the man try and force you to pay for that.
You bolted out of the store feeling guilty about accidentally destroying the statue but you had no idea this little gem was so important.
After several minutes of very fast walking you were alone by the side of a building as you were breathing heavily. After a couple minutes of catching your breath you were ready to go back home but you suddenly paused.
You were standing next to a large glass window and you could see your reflection in the mirror….only…it wasn’t yours. Staring back at you was a beautiful busty Asian beauty wearing nothing more than a golden bikini with the gem you took placed perfectly in her navel…
As you moved she moved. Every action you did she mimicked. You saw other people’s reflections nearby and they looked normal. You were so confused, who was this girl? Why was she in your reflection?
“Sir are you okay?” A sudden voice called out to you.
It was the security guard to the department store who’s window you were making strange actions in front of. You obviously looked a bit strange to everyone else.
“Oh…Uhh…no I’m fine.” You said. That Guard reacted to normally. So what’s going on here?
