Red

Now Red said goodbye to grandmom, gave her a kiss on the cheek, then she walked.  She gave grandmom a smile as she waves then walked out.   Grandmom headed to the barn, to complete the craft that she started.

Red walked the road happily, then she remembered a shortcut she seen.  She covers her head for the darkness began, it was getting a little chilly.

So through the forest, she went, looking for that shortcut again.  She got kind of lost, cause it was getting dark.  Red then decided to walk back instead.

Back to the road, she headed.  As she walked she heard a branch break, she stopped as she looked around, making sure, that no one was following her back.

Her heart began to beat really fast, her face was as red as her coat, she continued to walk, again a branch broke in the path, now her heart is beating even faster.  She begins to feel someone's out there.  

She screamed who's out there, but no answer she heard, then the noise proceeded even fast.  As she turns and she sees a very angry wolf, Red frozen she just couldn't move.

Then the wolf went towards Red, with teeth ready to attack the moment he's near.  Then a shot in the air, made the birds fly away, as the wolf land on the ground in front of Red. Oh what was that that was about to attack, then suddenly a shot just appeared.  

Then out came grandmom, with a smile and her gun.  Somehow, girl, I knew it was a pair.  Now run on home Red, my dear.  I'll take this to my barn with me.  Run along now, you be safe that I know, for the danger is no longer there.

Red looked at the wolf, who was about to attack, grandmom saved her, that's all that she knew. She was shaken and scared, as she said goodbye then ran away.  Running home was all she could do.

Grandmom picked up the wolf, then walked straight to the barn,  she smiles for today she scored twice.  She will stuff this nice pair, then she'll make money when sold, those stupid wolves shouldn't mess with grandmom.

Red ran all the way home, with her heart beating hard filled with fear.  She was happy to finally arrived, she ran straight into the house, locking every lock that she saw.

  Her mom was at work,  Red was alone now time to think.  Then she thought, that her grandmom was crazy killing wolves, for she didn't like it one bit.

After a while, Red closed her eyes when she opened up once again.  She was in her room on the bed in pajamas, you see, all this time this was all but a dream.

The End
