The Unknown Soul

Part 1: Clover Village

CHAPTER 1

Lousiel Marie collapsed of starvation, when she awoke she was in a pile of snow. Snow? She thought, she wanted to cry because she realized she was going to starve to death.
She got up, her bare feet were so frozen that they burnt, she fell to her knees she tried to get up again. Falling, she hit her head on the rock under the snow. She opened her bag to find there were no bandages. She scooped out a silk blanket and a pair of ruined shoes instead.
An apple, half a bottle of water, silk blanket, shirt, one pair of pants and ruined shoe, all she had. Nothing else.
She tried to get up once more as someone started to walk past her.
"Help... Please I can't walk!"
"Why, why help a useless human" she said with disgust in her face.
Lousiel knew she was a hunter for three reasons, one, she was very rude, two, that mark on her neck. Three, she had slit eyes like a cat, dark red. The mark on her neck was a red circle with a line through it.
Only 3 creatures have marks on them, Hunters, Souls, and Witches she has never seen a Souls or Witches mark in real life and she never planned on it.
As the hunter walked away she saw she had her bag.
"NO!" Lousiel shouted.
The hunter turned around and threw her a shirt. A useless shirt.

It's been about an hour since that stupid hunter walked away with my bag.
I tried multiple times to get up and I just kept falling, so to save my time I sang. Sang a song my mom sang to me before my parents left me outside, I was 5. I'm now 17 waiting for someone to help me.
Please, stay.
Please, go away.
Please, awake.
Please, don't shake.
I.
Love.
You.
Lou.
The song made no sense my mom wanted me to leave but she loved me? I still loved the song so, so much. It reminds me of the only happy time in my life. I never understood it when my mom sang it to me because I was probably already asleep. Or drowning in her beautiful soft voice.
I tried to stop shaking, as much as I could, but I couldn't stop. As I tried to get up one more time I felt warm hands grab me. I fell from how scared I was, she went to grab me but I just kicked myself into the ditch. Rolling in the snow I hit my head. Again.
I kicked away because she was a hunter, a stupid hunter with her slit eyes like cats and her marked neck.
Her eyes a deep green, so dark green that it looked like a Forrest.
" I'm here to help. I'm not like the others." She said as her eyes became bigger, not so thin.
"I know your kind you almost killed me, tortured me, and worst of all never helped me!" I screamed with rage.
"I promise that I'm not like the others, I'm here to help thats my job. Well I also sell jewlery, but I mostly help Humans and Lost Souls."
"Souls?"
"Yes, I help them find their humanity, I'm one of a kind you could say, I was taught to do that, now I have an extraordinary power. Now do you want help up?"
"Yes, but I can't walk. And you can't carry me."
" Oh, yes I can." She said walking into the ditch and throwing me over her shoulder.
I was so surprised I gasped, she was pretty thin, but then again I was thinner.

She put me down once to catch breath but then she picked me up again.
By the time we reached the town it was dark, not night but it was dim.
There were children running around the road.
When you enter the town you go left then right and theres a huge fountain. She took me to her house which had a huge table with jewelry in front of it, we past it and she got me in the house. There was a man in the house, he had a round face with a golden beard and a hat on, he was tall with overalls on and an undershirt.
He was a hunter too, his mark was very visable with his short hair, and his eyes were like the sand on the beach.
I watched as he look at... his wife? Or sister? He looked at her with curiosity, she walked past him in the wooden building down a long hall. As she turned left her shoulder jabbed into my stomach.
It was a massive room, it had a bed (fairly big) a closet, a dresser and sketches.... everywhere. To my left, right, up and down, all of beautiful jewelry.
Does she make it? I asked in my head.
She sat me down on the bed, with a thump, before I knew it she was gone, racing out of the room.
She came back and just out of the blue started talking about her and hunters.
"My name is Guella, Guella Grey. The man you saw earlier when we walked in was my husband Coelin Grey, he makes my jewelry. As you can see this house is made of wood we made it our selfs so be careful." She said precisely, she continued talking.
" As you know I'm a Hunter, our eyes, if they are sharp that means we have hatred for that person or we are mad, fusturated. If there round it means anything other than that. Our faces 'painted from angels' some say, obviously that's not true. The truth of why our faces are so perfect is because we're cross bl-...." she cut off, I knew she was going to say cross blooded, but with who?
She continued not letting me speak.
"Ahm.... uh were cross blooded, most of us. We are cross blooded with... I might as well say it. Were cross blooded with damn GoSouls, yes it's true. I know this from history lots and lots of research too."
"I, uh never knew that." I stuttered
"I do multiple blood tests too." She said excited, as if she wanted me to do one.
"Can-.... can I have a blood test?"
"That's kinda why I brought you here. Anyways follow me."
I followed her , I was still limping but I was better than before. At the end of the hall a huge door. She pushed with all her might, it opened fast. Inside looked like a huge lab.
When you walked in you had to walk through a short gate, she was right in front of me. When I walked in we walked straight to the little room at the end.
The label had something on it, I don't know what it said since it was in the hunters language, Bross.
I sat down in a chair and she pricked my finger and got me to put it on a strip. Guella put the strip up close to her face.
She then wiped it with a wipe, I couldn't see the colours because her shoulder was blocking it. She looked at the colour coder.
