~~~~~~~~~NORMAL P.O.V.~~~~~~~~

Preview: Ashley then goes to Red Hood's room. She also gets Red Hood's tea cup to maybe make her feel better since it's her favorite, even though it has human blood in it. She opens the door and asks Red Hood,
"Red Hood aee you alri-"
She stops and drops the tea cup which shatters to the floor making the sound of breaking glass. Red Hood has a surprised face. Her eyes are red from crying but instead of her eye color being an aqua, it's a fiery red.

Chapter 4 - The Truth. . . .

"Eh. . Ah. . ." Ashley stutters.
"DON'T LOOK AT ME!!" Red Hood screams as she throws a dark red pillow to Ashley and it hits her face making her flinch. Red Hood dives into a bright red pillow crying, her back facing Ashley.
"Umm.. . . What the heck is going on!?" Ashley says in a demanding voice.

Andrew and Josh look towards the ceiling.
"What in the world is goin' on up there?" Josh questions.
"Ummm. . . I dunno, but something tell me that if WE go up there, Red Hood will kick our butts and take us to Hell." Andrew replies.
"Same, I don't know her strength which makes me kinda scared. . . Especially since she's a devil. . . ."
"I wouldn't count on fairy tales if I were you, they might be completely different."
"You mean about devils?"
"No, about squirrels." Andrew says sarcastically.
"Why would I think of fairy tale squirrels??" Josh questions (he's serious).
"About devils you air head." Andrew replies not trying to be too loud so that Red Hood doesn't hear.
"Oh."

"I told you I'm a devil! When I get angry, sad, or too serious, happens!" Red Hood yells, facing Ashley with her red eyes.
"When my eyes are like this, humans can see what I really feel. I can't even hide it! It feels like a curse to me!"
"Oh. . . Well, I'm really sorry that Josh made you like this." Ashley says apologetically.
"It's fine. . . . I had to get it out somehow anyways, right?"
"Yeah, I guess. Also if you don't mind. . . Can you please tell me or all of us the rest of the story?"
Red Hood sighs.
"Fine, I'll tell you all the rest. I sense that you are all good people."
"Oh my goodness. Are you serious? Just like that? Wow, that was so much easier than I thought." Ahsley says relieved. Red Hood replies with a serious tone, still red eyes.
"I have good senses. Remember what I am Ashley. Remember that I am no ordinary girl, that I am not even the slightest bit human."
"Yes, I won't forget."

~~~~~~~~~RED HOOD P.O.V.~~~~~~~~

Ashley and I walk down the stairs and both Josh and Andrew are looking at us. I was afraid if my eyes had not changed back but there's a mirror on the other side of the room and I see that they are no longer their fiery red.
Andrew and Josh are looking at us strangely, I can tell that they heard us because they have very curious faces.
"Hey guys. ." I say kinda nervous.
"Should we ask what was going on upstairs?" Andrew questions. I just reply with,
"No need, I'll tell you the rest of the story. I'll tell you the truth."
They sit down on my red couch as I take a seat on a red chair with the same shade of red. Reminds me that I have a bit too much red here, but it can sometimes hide the blood I bring inside the house, wether it's mine or not. I sigh, and then start to speak.
"Ok. So, the devil guards are after me, but they are no ordinary devil guards. They're my father's devil guards and my father only pick the best, strongest, and ect. Only this time, he is mind controlling them. After I figured that out, I tried to tell Mother but when I went to her room, she lied there.....dead. I found out that Father had killed her so I went to my sister's room and found her dead as well and also figured out that Father had killed her. I ran away to a village that is full of devils and hid in the shadows. You see, normally devils would have spotted me because of their senses, but I am not ordinary devil, I am no ordinary princess, I cannot tell you guys just yet becaue I want to tell all of you guys later, but Father is trying to get my power and use it for himself. He is trying to rule all the devils, humans, and whatever else there is. I'll tell you that he was never a nice man. He always abused my mother but she was too weak so she couldn't kill him, or stop him, or ANYTHING!! I have to live in the shadows, killing all of them one by one while I continue to make my plan to save everyone. Anyway, in a summary, Father is trying to get me for my power so he sent devil guards to capture me. I kill them but people think they're humans so they think I am the bad person. Father killed my family so the only person that's related to me and is alive is him and I don't have any friends so I can't really go to anyone."
I can see that sll of them are in shock. Silence filling the room with three humans staring at me in surprise because of what I have just said. Ashley decides to break that by saying,
"I didn't think you could have it rough. I thought d-"
She stopped, covering her mouth with a worried expression. I could tell what she was thinking just by taking a look at her face, it was pretty obvious. She didn't think devils could have the same emotions as humans or that they are not all bad. She obviously believes in the fairy tales she's probably heard in books her parents have read to her as a child. I don't mind honestly. I just give her a smile, a smile that says no harm was done. She sighed with relief, probably worrying that I would do something to her.
"So. . .. What now?" Josh questions.
I have a look with sadness and seriousness.
"You guys have to leave. . ."
"WOW. That was NOT what I expected you to say." Ashley says.
"You guys will g et killed if you're near me. . . They will kill you. . ."
"But-" Andrew tries to say.
The rest of Andrews words fade as I hear something in the forest. It is no creature. It's the devil guards. . .
"60 feet. . ." I say.
"What?" Andrew asks.
"50 feet. . ."
"Red Hood?" Ashley asks.
"40 feet. . ." I say my voice kinda quivering.
"Are you ok? What's going on?" Josh asks.
"Hide." I say with complete seriousness.
"What?" Andrew asks?"
"I SAID HIDE!! NOW!!" I yelled and growled a bit.
They all flinched when I yelled that, but they then got up and started going to places that they could hide for saftey. They obviously knew I was completely serious by seeing their faces and the way they moved to hide.

I ran to hide as well and hid under my table with a white tablecloth covering the bottom. As soon as we were all hididen, I heard the glass of one of my windows break.
"Darnet.." I whisper to myself but cover my mouth as soon as it came out of my mouth, hoping no one heard me. I thought to myself,
Wow, aren't I good at being hidden. Ha! I just had to say something, if they find us, we're all dead!
I hear a man yell, " CRYSTAL! WE KNOW YOU'RE IN HERE!"
They just HAD to say my name didn't they? I'm really angry now.
It sounds like there's 10 devil guards here. I can tell that half of them are devils, and the other half are human. They're looking everwhere and I hear footsteps coming toward the table I'm hiding under.
"Crystal!! If you don't show yourself, we will make you..."
I did not like the sound of that. The way he ended that sentence....He is one of the devils..
A human guard starts to pick up the tablecloth and I climb up to the top of the bottom of the table so I have my back against the wood of it. He puts the tablecloth back and check other places. I'm now terrified...Trembling..
I hear a human guard say, "How will we make her?" Another devil guard just responds with a chuckle and says, "Oh, ha ha, you will see.."
No! He can't show himself! If he does...I'll probably have to kill all of them! Those humans are innocent! Agh!!
A guard starts counting down from 10, I really don't want to come out but.. I can't let them see..
"7.....6...5.."
"You only have a few more seconds Princess!" One of the devil gaurds yell.
"Princess?" A human guard asks.
The five human guards are starting to get freaked out...They have no idea...
"3! .....2!.."
I freaked out and came out of my hiding spot. I am filled with mostly anger.
"STOP!!" I yell with my loudest voice, making evryone cover their ears. I then say with a threatening and venemous voice,
"If you five dare to show yourselves..You will pay the price..It will be ALL of your lives~"
All the guards are shaking their knees except the devil guards.
"Also one more thing.. I AM NEVER GOING BACK!!" I run past all of them with full speed, I ran faster than a human ever could. I signaled Ashley, Josh, and Andrew to run too, and they did.
I am NEVER going back..Not until I am queen...
