AUTHOR: poltergeist_people

DESCRIPTION:

In the kingdom of Vanderdash, there is no more feared warriors than that of the Scarlet Guards. Protectors of the Royal Family, skilled assassins trained since childhood. They follow the crown, they enforce the crown. Too many, the group cloaked in red is a greater symbol of the Royal familys power than the kings crown itself.

Citizens respect and fear the scarlets guard, the power they hold.

But within the guard there is only one who installed that very same feeling into the rest.

Head of the prince's royal guard ruthless and cunning, rarely seen by the citizens themselves.

They call her Red.

An expert in poisons and deception, the small girl has brought armies to their knees without once lifting a blade.

A vermilion headed monster hidden behind the face of a doll.

I smiled up at the men, "would you like a cookie?"

They peered into the basket I held out spotting the heart shaped treats.

"They are cinnamon with apple jam. I do promise they are to die for."

The taller mans eyes narrowed," did you give the poor fool dead on the road a cookie? "

My lips parted," A dead man? Oh my... do you think it is safe?"

"...depends on who you are miss, why did you say you were in the woods again?"

I smiled gently, "I didn't."

He rose a brow.

"I'm delivering these," I shook the basket a bit, " to my dearest grandmama."

He hesitated for only a slight second, "oh! Well. Be careful then. These woods can be dangerous."

I nodded still holding the basket , "so, would you?"

"Would we what?"

I giggle a bit, "like a cookie silly,"

"Ah..." he scratched the back of his head."sorry, I'm not too fond of apples. "

Damn it. I sighed softly, "strawberry next time then."

"Right..."

As I turned up to go I looked up at the two tall men," you be careful now gentleman. There are wolves in these woods."

They nodded rigidly as I spun and began to skip of, giggling to myself.

He asked the wrong question. I didn't give the dead fool a cookie. "

I gave him two.
