RED RIDING JACKET [COMPLETE]

RED RIDING JACKET

...

     Penrose village, where Margaret lived with her grandmother to spend her school holidays.

"Grandma, have you heard of the White Wolf coming to disturb the villagers?"

""Yes. I'm sure the White Wolf came out of the Mirror Forest to find Minerva."

"Minerva? Who is that?"

     Minerva is a village girl who has been chosen by the spirit of the Mirror Forest as the guardian in the forest, and there is a man who wants to kill Minerva but the spirit of the Mirror Forest helps her by bewitching the man to be the White Wolf who is always with Minerva.

"The White Wolf is a human?"

"That's why the White Wolf is looking for Minerva to the human village because Minerva has long since disappeared leaving him."

"The White Wolf likes Minerva?" Her grandmother was silent.

"The only way to get rid of his magic is love from humans."

"But that's impossible because he's a Wolf." Her grandmother just smiled hearing her granddaughter.

"A loving heart is against all power." Margaret looked at her grandmother strangely. "Don't be deceived by beauty rooted in evil, don't judge a book from its cover and don't be afraid to go through the painful path that will end in life." Margaret understood.

     Night is coming. Margaret woke up to hear a dog barking outside. At the window, Margaret saw nothing then she slipped on her red jacket and carried a flashlight. She saw a group of dogs barking towards the woods and she went there to check. What a surprise, when the figure was covered in blood because of its white fur and a flashlight was pointed at his face, it was the White Wolf who was lying sick because a spear was stabbed in his thigh. Undeterred, Margaret pulled the spear out and the White Wolf rebelled because of pain

"Howl!" Margaret pulled until the spear came out, the nightgown she was wearing was torn to wrap the White Wolf's thighs.

     The White Wolf got up and took Margaret with him, they arrived in a very creepy and cold forest and Margaret covered her head. Margaret was sure the White Wolf took her to the Mirror Forest that her grandmother had told her about. A melodious voice was heard by them, the tree goddesses sang and danced around Margaret and her soul was almost sucked in by the tree goddess but the White Wolf quickly took Margaret away from there.

"I almost died." said Margaret herself. "I forgot what grandma told me."-Don't be deceived by beauty rooted in evil-

     They stopped when they heard a voice asking for help. The White Wolf was reluctant but Margaret insisted and they went to find out who was asking for help. Seen a beautiful woman and a dirty old man. They both fell into a deadly mud but Margaret was only able to help one of them. -Don't judge a book from its cover- Margaret remembered her grandmother's words this time and reached out to help the old man and pulled him to safety. The old man in the blink of an eye turned into a magic sword and they continued their journey.

     They stopped at three intersections to choose from. The first road is very dark and creepy then the second road has many beautiful flowers around and the third road is full of green thorns. Margaret did not understand her grandmother's words. -Don't be afraid to go through the painful path that will end in life- Suddenly Margaret fell from behind the White Wolf because his legs were tied by the roots of the flower and then came out a Giant Flower from the second street. The White Wolf fought with Giant Flower, Margaret felt something from the dark road and then a very scary Black Wolf came out and Margaret's magic sword pointed forward to fight.

     Suddenly, a magic sword slammed from Margaret's grasp, the Black Wolf took the opportunity to attack her but was quickly stopped by the White Wolf even though he was still fighting with the Giant Flower. Margaret deserved to take the magic sword and cut the main root to kill the Giant Flower but the White Wolf was still fighting with the Black Wolf.

     Margaret quickly climbed on the back of the White Wolf to help him fight. The flashlight directed by Margaret to the Black Wolf made his glare and the White Wolf advanced for Margaret to attack by stabbing the Black Wolf with a magic sword and died eventually. The White Wolf took Margaret to the last thorny path but the path ended in all green grassy fields, no words to reveal the beauty of the place. The magic sword had emitted light and changed into Margaret's grandmother and she ran to hug her grandmother.

"I'm so tired, grandma." then Margaret's eyes almost fell asleep.

     The White Wolf also emitted light and transformed into a handsome man, he stared at Margaret who was asleep.

"Thank you, my love." said the White Wolf.

     Knock! Knock! The sound of a knock on the door woke Margaret and she immediately lifted it to open the door. Margaret was happy that her parents came at last but her parents were surprised to see their daughter's condition; her pajamas were dirty with mud and torn, her jacket was stained with blood and a flashlight was in her jacket pocket.

Where are you from? "her mother asked.

"From Mirror Forest."

"What do you mean?" Her father was surprised

"Go clean yourself first." said her mother appropriately.

     Silently her mother smiled, she understood the meaning of her daughter. Her mother is Minerva who has left the Mirror Forest in love with humans and the White Wolf is still waiting for her but has fallen in love with Minerva's daughter, Margaret. -A loving heart is against all power.
