As you know, I own a house outside the village. My job out there is something very secret and no one is ever supposed to hear of it. I've only told one soul of my work. I thought it would turn her good again, yet it only made her worse. I have nothing else to lose so I'll tell you.
My job is to collect the evil souls of humans. Souls of murder and hatred. It's a cruel job but it must be done. I take any human that walks into these woods and I look into their eyes, the eyes are the windows to the soul you know. If I see a deep dark red then I know they can't come in and I turn their heart to stone.
If their soul is white or gold then they may explore as they wish. Yet, other color souls are harder to judge so I keep a close watch.

"Mrs.Nurr what happened to the bad souls? Do you keep them?" Anni asked as she chews on her hair slightly.

My child that's something I told the young girl. What I do to the souls takes many days and many nights. It's something that I wish upon no one to have to do.
When I find a rotten human I invite them to my home. I make sure I have all my most valued things out and nice and shiny. This is another test that I do for them. If they take even an earring then I'll hear the jingling of a bell. I will make them a big meal and slipped some nestle-berry in their cake.
Once they eat it they'll fall asleep. It makes me feel more moral about what I have to do.
I'll take them to the yard and burn them in the middle of a rose bush. When their soul comes out of their body and their screams die down then I take the soul and put it in a jar. Sometimes I have to destroy the soul completely. On those days I take the souls and turn them inside out. It's not a pleasant job at all I'll tell you!
Well, today I was doing my job as normal when a particular human girl walked in my home. I was in the middle of a soul test for goodness sakes! I had looked over and my vision was filled with the darkest red I've seen. I stumbled back as she neared me. She..oh my I feel faint.
