"I know the answer but I must ask anyway, do you have more clothes?"(Cat) asked reluctantly


    Witch Sara answered back by simply shaking her head


    Not really a surprise actually


    "And all your clothes are buried, right?"(Cat)asked again


    And Sara nodded this time


    "Where did you get clothes then?"(Cat)


    "From the church"(Sara)finally talked


    Which caused Cat to show a surprised expression for a second. Not because Sara talked, but simply because she realised it was a little obvious if you thought about it


    Cat pondered on the answer a little bit, and after a while, she nodded to herself as if she finally made up her mind


    "It was the church near the factory, right?"(Cat)Finally said


    "Yes"(Sara)confirmed


    "Ok, let''s do this, put those clothes and come eat something. Afterwards, I will give you the directions on how to get there, and you will ask for some clothes, ok?"(Cat) said


    And Sara nodded


    "Do you know how to read?"(Cat)


    "A little"(Sara)


    "Ok, I am going to write the directions and explain them to you, put on your clothes and come to the table"(Cat) said while getting up and leaving the bathroom


    Sara let go of her towel and put the dirty clothes she was wearing before


    It wasn''t anything special. It was some underwear, a pink shirt with a pony and a blue short. It was in the middle of summer, so it wasn''t cold outside


    The pony shirt was actually her favourite one, so she usually wore it at home or under another shirt so it didn''t get ruined


    I guess she was kind of lucky for wearing it that day, even if she wore it most of the time at home. Silver lining I guess


    Still, after putting on her clothes, Sara left the bathroom and sat on a table where she found some cereal and milk


    It was actually dehydrated milk, but since it was the first time Sara actually tried cereal with milk, she didn''t care


    It was bliss time for the small minute it took to finish it


    With a sneak flash on the side


    Sara even put more cereal and milk a second time to have another minute of bliss time


    Meanwhile, Cat was writing something on a paper while looking into her laptop and taking sneak pics on the side


    When Sara finally finished eating her cereal,  Cat sat by her side and started explaining the content of the paper


    It was a map that started by the house and showed all the way to the church, including landmarks and street names in case she got lost


    Sara saw the paper and read all the names of the streets and landmarks while asking anything she didn''t understand


    Like what is a Starbucks or stuff like that


    Cat also wrote left in her left palm and right in her right palm so she doesn''t forget on her way


    Cat also told her, that if they asked why was she so clean when she was a street kid, she must answer she was forced to take a bath at the clinic


    Then, she told Sara to repeat what she said to put it to memory


    Finally, Cat rubbed Sara''s head and told her it should be ok


    Sara smiled back at her and approached the door with confidence while saying goodbye before leaving


    "Bye bye big sis. See you soon"(Sara)waved before closing the door


    "Good luck kid"(Cat) said with an anxious face


    And with that, Sara was finally outside


    She didn''t have a clock, so she didn''t know the time, but the sun wasn''t all the way up  yet, so it was before midday


    The day was kind of hot but not unbearable, so  staying by the shadows of the building would be enough to prevent a heat stroke


    Even a little kid knew that been too hot was bad. If you fell better by been in the shadows of a building in a hot day, why wouldn''t you do it


    So, by following the excessively detailed instructions while staying in the buildings and trees shadows, Sara slowly walked to the church while double checking all the landmarks


    This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.


    If you are wondering why she had to go to all this trouble instead of just buying new clothes, it was simply because they couldn''t


    Cat couldn''t go out and buy the clothes since she was wanted at the moment. Same problem if they order online since she would have to open the door and receive them


    Sara, on the other hand, wouldn''t be welcome at a store with the clothes she was wearing, and being too young didn''t help. Even if she showed the money, the store would suspect she stole it, take all the money and call the police


    Their only option was to get clothes this way


    Not like Sara realised all that, for all she knew, you only get clothes from the church


    The concept of charity was something she didn''t exactly understood


    And she knew she needed clothes to change, so even if she didn''t like going there, it was something she had to do


    Luckily, she arrived there without a problem and was received by a nun


    "Hello little lady, what bring you to gods house"(Nun)


    "I lost all my clothes and I need new ones"(Sara) said honestly


    The nun saw her for a second, and after seeing her clothes, you could see a sign of pity on her eyes


    "Were you at the warehouse the other day?"(nun)asked while still showing some pity


    Sara nodded without hesitation or realising what that look really meant. Well, she didn''t know what it meant, but she was used to seeing it all the time


    "Did  you go to the hospital?"(Nun)asked


    Sara nodded again


    It wasn''t a lie since she actually went there. Besides, Cat instructed her to say she took a bath there if they asked


    "And you went back to the streets afterwards, right?"(Nun)


    "yes!"(Sara) answered without hesitation, or lying


    The nun probably meant she got away from the hospital before they took her to an orphanage, but Sara left simply because no one paid attention to her


    The nun, misunderstanding what she meant but still understanding she really needed the clothes, sighted in the end


    "Follow me"(Nun) reluctantly said


    There was nothing the Nun could do. Most of them realise over time that some kids prefer the streets over living on an orphanage. And considering how some of them were, it wasn''t that big of a shock


    This left the Nuns with no other option but to "support" their way of living or leave them to fend for themselves


    This nun chose to give Sara a hand


    She took Sara to a room where they store all the donations and picked a couple of clothes for her


    After the destruction of the factory the other day, the church received an increased amount of donations, so they could afford to be a little more generous than usual


    Sara ended up receiving 3 shirts, 3 pants, 3 pairs of socks and underwear, and a small coat


    Only one was in perfect condition since most donations were used clothes from people that grown up and couldn''t use them anymore or too ugly for them


    It''s not hard to guess how "pretty" was the one in perfect condition


    Not like Sara complained, she was to receive new clothes


    The Nun put everything in a plastic bag and handed it over to Sara. Since it wasn''t heavy, she grabbed without a problem


    "Thank you"(Sara) said while bowing


    Something her big brother told her to always do when someone did you a favour


    "May god bless you child"(Nun) said back to her


    And with that, Sara left the church after waving at the Nun from afar


    She remembers the way back, to some extent, and with the help of the excessively detailed paper, she shouldn''t have a problem getting back


    But first, she had a couple of places she had to visit
