Red ridding and the wolf

Plain old Boaring Red

"Red" her bestfriend Sophie yelled chaseing to catch up to her.

"Sophie" chasted red " you are going to wake the whole village."

"Sorry it's just the festival is starting soon."

"It's just some stupid festival about us getting rid of the wolves it's ridiculous it happened like 20 years ago."

Sophie gasped "Don't say that red."

Red cocked an eyebrow "why not it's not like it affects us it's just about some stupid story they pass down to scare us."

Sophie huffed"no its not you'll see when the wolf comes to claim his bride then you'll be sorry."

"Sure"Red rolled her eyes and continued talking "I'll be sorry for the poor girl who the wolf claims." You could tell she was being sarcastic a mile away.

"Lets just stop talking about it." Suggested Sophie

"Fine" She agreed.

"So did you see the way Caleb was looking at you"

"Yea right Sophie there are tons of beautiful smart girls in the village than there's me it was probably someone behind me I'm nothing special."

Sophie frowned "you don't see your self clearly your beautiful any boy would be lucky to court you or even gasp marry you."

"Sure soph" She chuckled
"We're gonna be late come on miss dreamer.

They continued teasing each other as they walked to the festival unaware that too glowing eyes were watching them from the forest.

Sophie ran over and pulled red by her wrist."come on red all the good sweets will be gone if we don't hurry."

Red huffed "Soph it's just food."

Sophie gasped as if she'd been hit."it's never just food."
She rolled her eyes."sure."

"Come on I want an apple before there all gone." Sophie ran off leaving red to chase her. Cursing quietly so she was not heard she took off running through the village in pursuit of Sophie. She finally stopped as she caught sight of her in the crowd. You couldn't miss the blonde if you tried,she was to pretty. With her emerald green eyes,pale skin,and long flowing blonde hair, Sophie was one of the most sought after girls in the village. Red still didn't know why she was friends with her and not Mary Kate. Red had no interest in pretty dresses or village gossip. She didn't want to marry at 18 and have kids. She wanted more from life. A epic love story or maybe compelling adventures that would one day become far sought after stories. Not to be stuck in some town that was scared of some fictional wolf.

She followed Sophie to a necklace stand where one caught her eye. It was a necklace with a crescent moon and a wolf howling at it in the background. Red felt a need to rebel flow through her,not stopping to think about it she asked the old woman the price.

The old woman smiled."it is a gift take it you will need it for your future."

"I couldn't possibly-." Red was cut off as the woman waved her hand and scoffed.

"You will need it young one it will help you now take it." She passed it to red and squeezed red's hand briefly before releasing her and turning to talk to a older girl.

Red sighed quietly and tucked the necklace away. She met up with Sophie moments later.

"There you are."Sophie smiled."I was looking everywhere for you,you scared me I thought the wolf had caught you."

"Ha ha." Red sarcastically replied.

"Laugh all you want but you won't be when that poor girl is taken from her nice life to be that beast of a wolf's wife."

Red groaned."I thought we agreed to drop the wolf thing. You think it's some horrifying story that is true. I think it's a load of crap about
Some stupid wolf made by a bunch of old crazy nuts that were board and decided to scare some children."

Sophie gasped."red a lady never swares."

"I'm not a lady Sophie I'm just red. Plain old boaring red."

Sophie glared at red."come find me when you want to believe the truth." And with that she stormed off.

"Great." Red muttered."now she'll be in a mood for a while. Might as well go cool down for a while." Red turned right and headed into the direction of the forest. Keeping a steady pace she thought of the stories about the wolf.
Stupid stories,stupid wolf,stupid Sophie!
Red huffed and shook her head. Soon she was in a clearing near the edge of the forest. She knew better than to go in but the clearing was fine. She plopped down onto a stump when a pair of wolf tracks stopped her. In a pile so neat only a human could of done was a group of dead deers caught her eye. She would of thought nothing of it,after all when a boy wants a girls hand in marriage he kills a group of deer and presents it to her. they give the deer to her father or eldest brother and are soon engaged. That wasn't what made her freeze though. It was the note attached to a rock next to the pile. With trembling fingers she reread it.
I will be seeing you soon. I hope the deers were to your satisfaction. With all my love to my red.
