'A stone paved road leading to the forest,

down the road goes a girl in red,

two paths cross in the forest bed, 

a little girl and a little wolf boy,

down the paths they go,

playing with each other each other once more,

smiling happily and singing,

a wolf boy and a little girl meeting secretly,

One day while going down the road,

the wolf boy and the little red girl were told,

'Be careful of what you do or else someone might find you,'

the cloaked man left never to be seen again,

the next day the lumberjack came and took the little red away,

'Wolf! Wolf! Help me!' she shouted as she got carried away,

never to come back to see him the next day,

down the left path there he sees,

standing behind his brown oak tree,

a little girl in red walking down a path,

knocking on the door of an old shack,

an old lady answers with a smile of glee,

the little red girl heads in and then leaves,

the wolf's ears drop and he begins to wail,

wishing that the little girl would play with him again.'

"Is this suppose to be a song or poem? If it is it's not good," I blurted out and quickly put my hand over my mouth. I did not mean to say that out loud.

"Ouch~! How cruel~!" the girl with blond hair and greens eyes cried, her red hood covering the top of her long blond hair. I ran a hand through my dark brown hair and sighed. "Wolf you're so mean! I wrote it about us!!" Lil' Red wailed and I pulled her into an embrace. Her hands went around my back and she touched my tail. My grey ears flapped and my grey tail wagged around. "...So soft..."

"I heard that Lil' Red," I mumbled and she pushed against my chest more, "If you want to touch my tail and ears so badly then just ask."

She pouted, "You always so no though." Yeah, because it tickles. "Can you lean your tail forward a bit."

I complied to her demand and moved my tail forward slightly. Both of her hands were on my tail and I held back the voice in my throat that wanted to burst out. My ears were flapping up and down which made me feel like I lost a battle against Lil' Red. She was still in my embrace leaning against my chest, so I twirled her golden hair around my finger, wondering what to do in order to win next time.

"Lil' Red, isn't it time for you to go home?" I asked and her eyes widened. She quickly pried her arms away from me. She got up, grabbed her weaved brown basket, and ran faster than a galloping horse down the stone paved path. I smiled. "Later Lil' Red!"

"Bye bye Wolf!" she shouted back whilst running.

Lil' Red could no longer be seen by me, but I still heard her running footsteps. I chuckled, "She is so cute. I can't wait to see her tomorrow."
