Two days had passed since Heidi left the house, taking everything important she needed in a bag.
She had been planning to leave the house since her mother's death but it took a lot of courage to step out of the house for good this time, with the intention of never coming back. And as she had left in the middle of the night, there were no local carriages by which she could travel.
She had walked for hours on foot, heading south from her town by taking the forest route instead of the road with the fear of being caught. She had considered her options carefully before stepping into the forest knowing well that the witches wouldn't show themselves out in the open especially after their recent attack but that didn't stop her from being alert.
