A Gift from the Goddess
Chapter 121
Book Two – Ch.# 13
I left Noah in Zac‘s capable hands and got his word that he‘d call my father to say the job was completed per normal. He was risking a lot for my sake, I knew that. A lot of risk for what seemed like absolutely no reason. The level of danger associated with this insane plan wasn‘t lost on me.
After all, the last thing I wanted was for Zac‘s name to end up in my next manilla folder.
I headed home as soon as I could, leaving enough time to arrive well before daylight, and walked towards my front door. But it was as I was entering through the front gate to our property that something caught my eye. It was an old lady, huddled up in a shawl, standing just on the street outside.
She had grey hair and eyes to match, clearly at an age that would suggest a retirement home or carer was required. And yet she stood randomly outside my house at three o‘clock in the morning, staring directly at me.
I paused for a moment and looked around, trying to see if she was with someone. But when the empty street was completely silent and devoid of all other life, I started to wonder if maybe she‘d gotten lost.
…Did I really have the energy to deal with this right now though? I was already so exhausted and just wanted to go inside to sleep in my own bed, something that would be a first after many days. I could already perfectly visualise how soft my pillow would be… just begging to be

“I can save her,” the old lady suddenly said. “I can save the girl.”
...What?
I took my hand off the gate handle and turned back around to fully face her, part of me still wondering if she was even talking to me.
“…Pardon?” I called back
Wasn‘t it common for older people to lose their minds at a certain age? What if she was a dementia patient who wandered off? I should probably just look up where the closest hospital or retirement home was and tell them where to find
“The girl. Clarissa,” she said. As if that was of any real help.
I blankly stared back at her.
“I‘m not Clarissa,” I clarified. “I think you‘ve—.”
“I know that,” she snapped sharply, making me flinch a bit in surprise. “Oh… ‘kay. Well, is that … your daughter?” I asked, still trying to be polite. “Or your carer? Do you want me to call someone for you?”
But then she started to walk towards me, her stride more steady than I would have expected given her appearance. There was something oddly strange about her too. A weird atmosphere
