Early the next morning a maid brought Clarissa light blue dress that was clearly worn out from all the washing but it was better than the two dresses she owned. There was also a pair of boots that had small holes in different places, a worn out animal skin sweater and a list of herbs.
Clarissa changed into her new clothes, took her mother's bag which only had a red heavy tunic that she could use to warm herself, a comb and a jade pendant that she always had since she was adopted.
Clarissa studied the pendant for a few minutes for it looked like a normal pendant with a thunder shape. It was just an ordinary pendant. Clarissa took her bag stuffed the herbs she collected yesterday and walked out the Brook's mansion.
'I don't know much about this world but I should probably avoid areas with many people. This Donna actually wants me dead all the herbs listed are in dangerous places. Hmmm! I'm not the Clarissa you used to bully I'll surely find a way to deal with you.'
Clarissa walked out of the city and moved towards the forest. After walking all morning she felt hungry that she couldn't move her weak body. She decided to look for wild fruits to eat, she walked around but couldn't find anything.
As she walked she heard ruffling from a distance, she stopped moving and listened more closely. Just then she heard more ruffling and muffled voices. Clarissa ran into a dense shrubs of weeds and tall trees surrounding the area.
Footsteps approached where she was before, looking around shapely. Clarissa moved backwards and hid inside the dense trees, darkness surrounded her with a little light left for her to be able to see around her. She saw two men looking around.
Hunter 1: " I thought you said you felt her this way. She's clearly not here. How can a girl without any power escape your senses?"
Hunter 2: " I'm telling you she was here just now. I don't know how she could escape me. We've been following her without her knowledge but she seems to be able to avoid dangers. I've not lost her presence until now. Do you think she's found a way to mask herself from me?"
Hunter 1: " I don't think so. The woman from the mansion said that she's just a stupid slave now calm yourself and try to find a link with her."
Hunter 2: "okay."
Clarissa tries her best to suppress her anger. She felt danger a couple of times during her journey but she somehow knew before it could happen and escape quickly. Even her hearing seemed to be sharper but she didn't pay attention because she just thought it was because she was sensitive to her surrounding.
'What could be shielding me from them? How was I able to tell the dangers before they came? Seems like I need to find out the cause for all this weird things. But first I need food.'
