Of the false alarm last night I had managed to get some sleep, but not enough to make my body feel well rested. I woke up early before my mom. Through a tiny hole in the window, I could see that the place was barely bright outside which was still not safe for me to leave. I sat down until I could see light slowly appearing from outside.

"Where are you going?" my mom woke up seeing me leaving the room.

"I'm going to feed the chicken," I told her.

"No, no, please come back and lay down it's too early."

"Mom..., it's okay, outside is now brightly lighten."

My mom sat up still not wanting me to leave.

"Today is the partner's selection event and I want you to focus on getting your hair done and finding a good dress to wear," my mom told me.

"I already know what I want to wear," I told her.

My mom gave me grave look knowing I was telling her a lie. The truth was I didn't care what I was going to wear in being peered with someone I doubt I'll ever love nor have any interest in.

"I'll be right back after I'm through feeding the chicken," I told her as I ran off.

"Red," I heard her calling me.

I didn't stop going my way.

I spotted werewolf protectors when I left my house and a few people who had woken up early as well.

"Who thought they saw a werewolf last night?" I heard a man inquiring one of the protectors.

"It was a false alarm, get on with your morning chores," the protector told him ignoring his question.

One of the protectors looked my way and I immediately went to the back of my house filling a bucket of water to give the chickens before giving them their feeding. After I was through I went back inside, closing the door shut behind me.

"Red come to my room," I heard my mom.

Immediately I went to her to see what she wanted and there I approached her holding a red dress with a head covering in her hand.

I stared at it. It was very beautiful and it was the first I was seeing it.

"This was the dress I wear at my wedding," she told me.

"Mom, it's beautiful," I told her as I went to touch it.

It was so soft within my hand.

"This belongs to you now for today," my mom told me.

"No, mom I can't take this."

"Please...., take it" my mom begged me.

I took it staring at the beautiful dress in my hands.

"Go and get dressed and let me help you with your hair," she instructed me.

I rested the dress on my bed and went into the bathroom to get myself cleaned up.

"Red, do you want me to make breakfast before you leave?" I heard her.

"No, mom I'm fined," I answered.

I had no appetite for today's event. I'm unsure when I ever will.

I took off my clothes and began to put on the dress.

When I was through my mom entered my room to check on me.

"Oh my gosh you look so beautiful, Red," my mom told me as she walked over towards me before the mirror.
