Little Darling

Deep Into the Woods

It was a snowy day, Raven got out of bed and started to get ready, she put on her warm stockings, her black leggings perfect for the snow, long black sleeve shirt on, her red Jacket and a red hat, with red gloves and a red mask. She headed outside to see the winter wonderland, the lake is frozen from the cold air. She didn't go far in the woods, she sat down in the snow by the lake.

Peace and quiet it was, lovely as it was she wandered around the woods seeing owls, winter foxes, bears across the lake, and deer, especially winter bunnies. Raven smiled as the animals ran across the snow.

It was a lovely sight, Raven sat by a tree, she closed her eyes to open them up, snow was falling, her hair was covered in snowflakes. She didn't mind the snow at all, she made snow angels and snowmen and a little snowman village.

Raven didn't like being around people, she was known as the lonely lady, even though she is twenty, but she loves being alone with no one around and enjoying the snow by herself.

The little critters would sit next to her watching her play in the snow like a child, she and the critters got along grand. She would feed the bears salmon as she cooks in her little cottage, the little animals would be there waiting for her to come out.

A few minutes went by, Raven headed back inside her little cottage, she cut up some berries and some hot chocolate. Thumper and Winter would wait for her, the little snow bunnies that would wait for her outside her door. Raven took off her red mask, placing it on the counter, she ran upstairs to grab her glasses from her nightstand, she got some cutting the berries and finished with the hot chocolate. She opened the door as Thumper and Winter hopped around with excitement.

"Alright, alright here you go Thumper, Willow eat up you two." Raven said placing the two small bowls down, Thumper and Willow both started to eat the berries. While Raven sat down watching the two bunnies eat as she drinks her hot chocolate.

Thumper looked up at her as he stood on his legs. "Alright, you can come on up." Raven picked up Thumper and set him on her lap, she petted him as he lay down. Winter looked up and wanted to be held too. "Okay little one come here." Raven picked up Winter, now she has both bunnies on her lap, they both lie down on Raven's lap. She loves the animals as much as they love her.

After finishing up her hot chocolate she placed the bunnies down, she opened the door only for the two snowy bunnies to come in and enjoy the warmth. Raven didn't mind the little bunnies Thumper and Winter to come in and enjoy the warmth of the fireplace.

Raven sat down on the couch, as the two bunnies lay down on the floor. As time went by, Grizzle the grizzly bear waved to Raven through the window. "Hello to you too, Grizzle." Raven said as she walked to the kitchen to cut up some Salmon. The two bunnies followed Raven into the kitchen. They both watched as Raven cut up some Salmon into bite size bits. Once she got done, Grizzle was already at the door waiting for his meal.

"Here you are sweetie." Raven placed down the Salmon in front of Grizzle. Raven has been taking care of the animals since they were babies cause of the hunters that would hunt their parents, she found Winter and Thumper when they were just small, and lost their parents to hunters. Grizzle lost his mother, he found Raven as she was cutting some fish one time in the winter days. She fed Grizzle and took him under her wing as she took care of the animals and took care of their wounds.

Raven sat outside with Grizzle, Thumper and Winter as the sunsets, the three of them left to their Burrows. Raven said goodbye to them and watched them walk away. She went back inside her cottage, for the night changing into her pajamas, red foxes and a red plaid shirt. She sat on her bed reading her book by the window, she read for almost about five hours in bed, she checked the time it was nearly eleven, she turned off the light and we t to bed.

Next morning:
Raven woke up the snow is still there, she got dresses in her long red shirt, black jeans, black snow boots, and her red Jacket, the snow metled as it was near the fireplace. She put on her coat and headed outside, she walked around the woods, lost in the music with her headphones on listening her music, she didn't pay attention to where she was headed. Deep into the woods she went not knowing they were deep.

That's when she heard the gunshots, making her headphones to static, she took off her headphones. Looking around to see anyoen, but loud laughs and they sounded they belonged to men.

Following the laughter she spotted four men in black and grey suits. They were shooting to her a target, but looking to see it was a man that was a target and already dead. These men were laughing as they killed a man a human in fact. Raven was shocked to see the sight, she hid immediately in the bush.

"Well done, you shot him in the head." One man said.
"Head shot!" The one said holding the gun, he took a sip of his drink, when another man came up next.
POW! Goes another gunshot, they continue to laugh and drink as they do this. "Cheers! To another bloody day." One said they all took cheers.

Raven stayed quiet looking through parts of the bush looking at the men, she hid herself in the bush staying quiet.

The four continued to laugh, Raven looked over to see a gray wolf, she looked at it and saw the stick. "Be careful." Raven whispered to the wolf, the wolf flitched as it heard the gunshots being fired again. She could tell that the wolf was scared.

The wolf looked at Raven her breathing grew heavy, the wolf walked close to Raven quietly not breaking any sticks. Raven petted the wolf to calm it down only to hear the gunshots again, she covered her ears and so did the wolf.

The wolf looked around to find away t not be seen. The wolf nudged it's head, they have to move quickly. Raven nodded to the wolf, slowly they moved, but a gun shot was fired near the trees, Raven froze, but the wolf ran off.

"Show yourself!" One of the men yelled. "Easy Nigel, we don't want to scare the person."

"Show yourself, we won't hurt you." Raven looked at the wolf seeing how worried it was. She whispered to it, "go...I'll be okay just go to the other side of the woods." She whispered to the wolf, the wolf nodded and headed there.

Raven got up and stood behind a tree, not being seen. "Come on out." He said again. Raven held her chest, she showed herself in front of him, he lowered his gun and stared at her with cold eyes.

"Why is a woman like you, doing in these parts of the woods?" He asked.
"I was being curious." Raven said her heart still racing.
"Are you a spy?"
"No sir...I'm not a spy."
"Prove it." He demanded, he stepped closer to her as she stepped back.

"Who is over there Nigel?" Asked the man with the black suit. "It's just a woman Le Chiffre." Nigel said. Le Chiffre got up from his seat, looking over to see Raven. "Bring her hear to us please Nigel, and don't scare her."

Nigel held out his hand to Raven. "I can force you to come or we can do this the easy way." Raven took his hand in her hand, she walked with Nigel to where the other men are. "She didn't resist, she came willingly." Nigel let go of her hand, giving her a cold look.

"What's your name?" Asked the man with the eye patch. "Raven Night sir."
"That's an unusual name, please forgive Nigel, he doesn't like people that are nosey." Raven looked over at Nigel and back at the man with a scar across his eye. "It's alright, I just heard gunshots, I was curious to see who is firing guns out here." Raven said.

"Well my dear now you know, are you a spy or someone that is curious?" Asked the one with the scar across his eye.
"I'm not a spy, I was just curious." Raven said. "You have honest eyes my dear. I am Le Chiffre, the one on the left is Duncan and the one on my right is Hannibal, and the one that is next to you is Nigel. Welcome to the dark woods my dear."
