Red Hood (SLOW UPDATES!! LIKE SERIOUSLY SLOW!!)

Chapter 6 - New Troubles

Red Hood walks slowly towards the mysterious laughter as the trio group walked slowly behind her, keeping they're distance in case the comeout isn't very good.

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

I walk slowly towards the laughter that I hear, I'm ready to attack anything that comes in my way. As I walk closer towards a large fairy tale kind of looking tree. Strange, trees like these don't really exist. It's like a huge tree that faries could live in if it was carved inside. It's just green bright grass around it, unlike the dark grass and many trees in the rest of this forest. On the side of this fairy tale tree, I see something, It looks white.
What the... What could that possibly be?
I look at Andrew and put a finger on my lips, morning him to wait where they are and be silent. He friend a little, hesitating, but he does as I ask. I smile and then look back at the tree. I looked around the tree. My eyes widened at what I saw, what was the source of the laughter. A girl. She noticed me and her laughter stopped. She stared at me and I stared at her. She has silver hair, bright red eyes that were much lighter than mine, and ghostly-looking skin. She was wearing a red hoodie, matching the shade of her eyes, almost black pants, and just white socks, no shoes. She seemed to be around the age of 13, younger than all of us. As I start to open my mouth to say something, the girl asks, "Who are you guys?" In a curious voice. I got a little surprised, how did she know I am not the only one here? I look back at Andrew, Ashley, and Josh, just to see them in the open. I already know now that not everyone agreed with my orders. I give them a "Seriously guys?" kind of look. Andrew says in s defensive voice,
"I listened and was following-"
"Was." I interrupt him.
"As I was saying, these two didn't quite agree and I tried to get them back here but it obviously didn't go well." He continues.
"Whatever." I respond, looking back at the girl.
"What's your name? Also, what are you? Sorry if that sounds rude." I ask the girl.
"My name is Lila. I'm dead." She smiles. I raise an eyebrow. There's ghost too? I look back at the group and Andrew and Ashley both have a surprise and wide-eyed face. Josh, he is obviously excited. "So umm, what do we do now?" Ashley asks.
"We still need to run and hide, remember?" I respond to her question.
"OOH!! You guys are trouble makers huh?" Lila assumes. I would think that she's one of the gossipers.
Great.
"We're not trouble makers. I don't know about Miss Red Hood here." Andrew responds and looks at me, I frown at him.  Lila laughs and asks teasingly,
"Are you guys a couple?"
"No." Andrew and I say in unison.
"Suuurre."
I get a little annoyed but shake it off.
"We need to get moving." I say and everyone else agrees.
"Can I come too?" Lila exclaims.
"Fine, but you gotta be able to keep up with us." I say.

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

Elsewhere with the guards at the town

Back in the town of Ravmore, all of the guards are in the guard tower in a small room, speaking about what they have seen in the woods, demanding answers.

"W-what the heck just happened over there in the woods!?" A guards exclaims.
"I demand answers!" Another guard demands.
"SLINECE!!" The head guards yells.
"There are only five of us now. The other dive have ran away like pathetic, useless, pieces of garbage. They seemed to know everything, and they obviously didn't want us to find out anything about them. I do not know if what they say is true or if they were fighting drunk because they snuck alcohol, again."
They all smile a bit except one that has a huge scar across his face.
"This isn't funny guys. So you should all just take off those smiles and throw them in the dump."
"Oh geez, shut your negative mouth already Scar Face." A guard responds.
"Quit calling me that, it's the most ridiculous name ever." 'Scar Face' says in an annoyed voice.
"You're the who's so ridiculous that they got that scar!" The guard fights back.
"Well how could I stop that from happening! I got this from..from..wait." His eyes go wide.
"What is it Scar?" The leader asks.
"She, that Red Hood. She's a devil! Not only that, she's the princess!"
Scar started to freak out.
"This scar on my face, it was made from a devil. We were friends forever, until I found out he was a devil pretending to be human. He gave me this scar and ran away."
"Calm down." Another guard says.
"Just be quiet."
"Alright men," The leader says, catching everyone's attention.
"So she's the princess. She's the 'Princess from Hell'. We survived once, we can survive again."
"I got shot with an arrow on my leg. Does that mean I can get shot again?"
A guard says in a bored voice pointing at his leg that Red Hood shot with her magic bow and arrow.
"Well, you did shoot at her when she was angry." Another guard says in a 'duh' kind of way.
"Whatever."
"So!" The leader booms. "What shall we do about this Princess from Hell?"
"I remember that one of the guards called her Crystal." One of the guards says, which wasn't very helpful or useful, so one of the other guards just slapped him.

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

As we're all walking, Andrew, Josh, Ashley, Lila, and I, I stop for a moment to sneeze. Andrew giggles and says,
"Someone must be talking about you."
"Ha. Ha. Ha." I say jokingly. We all continue walking.
"I just realized," Lila says.
"What is it?" Josh asks curiously.
"There's a lot people. We're 5 people put together!"
"Oh. Yeah." Josh responds disappointed, he must have been hoping for something interesting. I giggle at that as Andrew and Ashley smile.
"Also," Lila goes closer to Josh to whisper.
"I ship her and him." As she point to me and Andrew.
"We have names." Andrew says.
"I'm Andrew."
"I'm Ashley."
"I'm Josh."
"I'm-" I going to introduce myself but Lila interrupts.
"Crystal. I already know that you're name is Crystal." She smiles. I go wide-eyed as I hear her call me by my real name.
"Oh yeah, I forgot that that's your real name!" Josh exclaims.
"How did you know that?" I ask, weirded out because I've never told her.
"I saw you before, I've never met you, all I know is that your real name is Crystal, I know nothing else, so you don't have to be worried about me knowing any secrets of yours." She smiles.
"Oh, ok." I say, smiling back.
I sneeze again.
"Is someone talking about me again?" I laugh.
Lila raises her eyebrows and nudges Andrew.
"Maybe he is quietly talking about you about how lovely you are."
"Or, maybe you're getting a little cold." Andrew kind of giggles and gives me a tissue.
"Thanks." I say and we continue to walk.
"I hope none of the humans know anything." I say in a worried voice.
"About you being a devil?" Andrew asks.
"Yeah. They already know that I am the princess, if they know I am a devil, things will get really hard, for all of us. It won't matter if you're with me or not, you know me and that's what will matter. They'll get stronger and.." I trail off and shiver at the ugly thoughts of what they could do to all of us.
Ashley puts her hand on my shoulder and smiles, telling me it will be alright. I smile back.
Lila glares at Ashley.
"Don't. Ruin. My. Ship."
"Don't worry Lila, I'm not looking for a relationship any time soon." Ashley says and laughs.
