Cerise Hood POV

Chapter 8: Part Wolf

Cerise doesn't have class it'll afternoon, but she's already left her dorm at 5am. Wearing her dirtiest pair of running shoes, she decided that she would spend some quality lime with her pet, it had been a while since they've properly hung out.

As Cerise started her slow jog to the forest, breathing in the smell of fresh dewy morning, she relaxed and smiled.

And as Cerise jogged into the woods, a mischievous cat is not napping.

It's a cheerful morning, and the sun was only just starting to rise, little red hood was happily jogging down the familiar road, not straying from her path. As she went further into the woods, her surrounding got darker and darker. Suddenly, a wolf jumped out of the bushes, pouncing on her! She had no time to regain balance as she fell backwards to the ground. "Oof! Hay that hurts!" The hooded girl protested, but the wild beast didn't care, it continued to pin her on the ground where she cannot escape, and proceeded to open its monstrous jaws and....

Lick*

Lick lick lick lick lick, "hahahaha, stop- stop hahah, that's enough!" Cerise finally managed to push her buddy off, wiping away the saliva off her face. "Com on, let's start off with a good run!"

Yes, Cerise pet was very strange, he didn't live with Cerise in the dormitory like many other pets, or required her to keep track of his feeding. In fact, he lived with his pack, just like a normal wolf. His name is Carmine, he's a dire wolf that was introduced to Cerise when they were both very young, and ever since then Carmine was affiliated to her, and Cerise did not mind it one bit. However, if it is strange for someone to have a wolf as a pet, it's even stranger that Cerise Hood is the owner to one. Hoods are generally a really antisocial group of people who always keep to themselves. The only thing that is going for them is that they are sworn enemies to the wolfs, not to mention, the little red riding hood story.. And that's why Cerise rarely interacts with her pet near school grounds, and she's glad that she has plenty of time to hang out with Carmine now.

"Hay! Race you to the other clearing!" And they raced. They did it again and again until it was time to part, and time flies when your having fun. It was already almost lunch time. As they said their goodbyes, Carmine tackled Cerise once more, and licked her all over again. This time her hood fell off. cerise froze, she set up strait and put her hood back on, tugging it for extra security. "Go find our pack" she whispered to her wolf.

As Cerise walked back to her dorm to wash up, she was spooked by a voice

"You beat that wolf in a race, how do you do it" Cerise spun around to se kitty string on a tree. "I'm all ears." She knows!

Eyes wide Cerise tried to reply "ki- Kitty, you can't tell an–" but before she finished the mischievousness Cheshire kitten had already vanished with a giggle. Oh no...

'Oh no.. what's going to happen. What should I do now?' "Em.." some one was behind her

"What!" Cerise burst out, spinning around yet again and growing at the person with glowing gold eyes. Raven gasped as they stared at each other with utter shock.

As Cerise blinked her eyes back to normal, she was so overcome by fear and hopelessness to know what to do. Her life is over. Cerise collapsed to the ground, too tired to stand.

"Do you.. maybe want to talk about it?"
Raven kneeled down beside her, hands reaching out to her shoulder, trying to give comfort.

"No" Cerise wanted everything to set back to normal, where nobody knows anything about her.. she brought her knees up so she could hug it and lean her head on. Out of sight to Raven, Cerise reached into her pocket and opened a locket. Sighing she close it back

"I'm part wolf" she whispered, looking  up to watch Raven's reaction, Cerise saw a slightly confused yet concerned face, but no disgust, so she went on.

"Mr Badwolf is my dad." Still a whisper,
Cerise now reached out to touch her ears through the hood.

Understanding washed over Raven's face. "That's why you wear a–"

"Yeah"

"I won't tell"

"Your not the one I'm worried about..."
