Just as Jade had appeared in the Purple Forest, she ran as fast as her legs could carry her, Bec following close behind. Jade ran and ran without stopping. There was no way she was going to let soldiers – let alone anybody – capture her. She came to a hauls when she heard a crowd's chattering buzz and faint festival music playing just ahead. She wrapped her cloak around herself tighter, pulling down her hood more to cover her face. "Don't leave my side, Bec." She told her dog as she slowly walked closer to the end of the forest. On her way, she was smacked in the face. To the speed of light, Jade retrieved an arrow and attached it to her bow. She held out her bow threateningly, waiting for someone to show themselves. She looked up to see a yellow cotton-stuffed toy hanging by a rope, which was tied to a tree branch. As Jade put away her bow and arrow, she stared curiously at this sight. She released the toy, throwing it on the ground. She tugged the rope off the branch, and looked at Bec. "This should come to quite some use." Jade stated as she widened the rope hole and slipped it around her Doug's neck. She grasped the rope tightly and headed onward.
Jade had entered the Shopping District of the small village in which she lived near. She knew the place like the back of her hand. The worst thing Jade could come up with was the wanted signs with her irritated expression plastered all over them. She walked up to one, curious to see what this one had to say.
"WANTED. LITTLE BLACK HIDING HOOD. Powerful Witch. Approach with caution! If you have any recent information regarding this criminal, please contact you're nearest Officer department. Reward: 1,000 Shillings"
Jade chuckled at the poster. 'Little Black Hiding Hood? Is that the best they could come up with?' She thought. She tore down the poster and stuffed it in her satchel, and she carried on through the crowded streets.
