Chereads / The abandoned daughter / Chapter 8 - Chapter 8

Chapter 8 - Chapter 8

Clarissa made a stop a few metres from the mansion. She entered a small alley and thought on how she's going to hide her money and some of the herbs she collected. She thought of hiding them somewhere hidden but she didn't have a clue where that was. Then she thought, ' I wish I had a storage that I could hide things in without any worries.'

Just at the thought, the money and herbs disappeared from her hands. Clarissa was alarmed at what just happened and started looking around to see if someone snatched her wealth. Then she thought of her money and suddenly it appeared in her hands.

She got puzzled on how the money just appeared and disappeared without reason.

Clarissa immediately understood the concept of how it happened and decided to try it out. She then thought of storing the money away and it then disappeared. Then she found her mind pulled inside her body and there she saw a room inside the tower that was empty before. Now it had the herbs and money inside. 

Clarissa quickly withdrew her mind out of her body and saw herself in the alley. It seems like she was gone in just seconds, she tried removing and putting back the herbs and was successful. She got extremely excited by her new discovery for she could put away many things in the tower without worrying. 

Clarissa took the herbs she needed for the mansion and put away the others in the tower then headed for the mansion. It was already dark so she hurried in through the servants door. No one stopped her as she moved into the servants quarters.

Rooms were assigned to the servants according to ranks. Maids with higher ranks had their own rooms while those with lower ranks shared their rooms.

Donna had an executive room that had a washing area and a lounge. Clarissa made her way to Donna's room for it was past dinner time already. She knocked on the the door and entered after she heard Donna's assent. She pushed the door open and entered.

The moment she entered she heard a small shriek from Donna. Donna's face looked pale and the horrified look was so extreme that Clarissa paused in her steps.

Donna quickly calmed herself and adjustedher expression. Deep down she wondered how the smelly girl didn't die in that forest. Those two hunters said that they couldn't find her and that most probably she was eaten by a ferocious beast. She masked her thoughts then spoke to Clarissa.

Donna: " Clarissa your back. What took you so long to come back? Did you get the herbs?"

Clarissa saw all her changing expressions and knew what she was thinking. She already guessed the identity of the one who wanted her dead. 

Clarissa: " Yes I got the herbs but two of the herbs are very difficult to find because of the environment they need to grow. I really tried my best."

Donna: " you've been gone for three days I thought something has happened to you seems like I worried for nothing. You can go to the kitchen and get some leftovers then tomorrow get back to your chores."

Clarissa: " yes, miss Donna."

Clarissa placed the sack down and walked out. She didn't understand why Donna wanted to kill her maybe she just hates her.

She wasn't the bit interested in why but she won't let her off. She learned the hard way in her previous life in letting her enemy gain power to oppress her.

In this life she's going to destroy her enemies before they began growing more wings. A vicious light flicked through her eyes as she started making a plan on how to deal with Donna and the one behind her.
