The wolf in the woods

Chapter 1

Ryder's P.O.V

I don't know why everybody is scared of the forest, its so calm and peaceful... I love the feeling of the grass beneath my feet the way the dirt crumbles in between my toes. The way the sun feels on my skin, the way the leaves fall in the autumn and even the rain that soaks my clothing in the spring. I don't understand why they are scared of the forest.... Why they are so scared of me. 

I crack open my eyes and glance around as I slowly start to awaken from my deep dreamless sleep, gripping the grass in between my fingers before stretching them up above my head and stretched, which involved a lot of grunting and strange noises but don't blame me if it feels good! I glance up at the blue sky through the branches of the huge oak tree above me and shield my eyes from the sun. I sigh in content as the bird chirped around me, talking to each other.  But then RING....RING.....RING. the ringing signing it was time to head 'home' more like prison I thought.  I let out a deep breath as I stood up am smoothed out my dark black hair taking a few leaves and a twin from the tangled mess and brushed my red bangs out of my green eyes , next I pulled my hood up onto my head which belonged to a blood red cloak, my grandmother had given this to me a very long time ago and I basically wore it wherever I went.
"Do you like it?" My grandmother said as she pulled out a cloak that was made up of a beautiful cloth and was a very pretty red "OH GRANDMA I LOVE IT!!!" I nearly burst from excitement, I stepped forward to touch the beautiful fabric, it was so strange unlike anything I had ever felt, it looked like silk but felt like....the smoothest sand in the world.  " its the same color as my hair!!!" I said "yes my little red, and you must promise you to always ware it." She replied who wouldn't want to ware this beautiful thing I thought "oh grandma I promise.... Can I out it on now?" I asked slowly, laughing my grandma draped it over my shoulders as I poked my arms through the arm holes "now little red, listen to me" I turned to look at her "this cloak will protect you and will grow with you" I didn't understand how a simple cloak would grow with me but didn't question her...I still don't understand but her words were true and the cloak did grow with me.
GRUMBLE GROWL.... And that signals that it is time for some food. I turned around and walked slowly towards the trunk of the oak tree not really caring that i should be hurrying  home and  grabbed the hidden rope and started to climb high into the branches, up up up until I reached the platform leading towards my little tree house that I built with my mother so long ago I loved her so much I was so close with her until they- I shook that thought from my mind I wouldn't let them ruin my day! I climbed through the door and grabbed my basket that had my lunch and began my descend down the rope again. As I set foot on the ground again I hid the rope back in the hiding spot which was a crack in the tree bark. I said goodbye to my spot and began to walk and eat at the same time. I finished my food in no time and just started to relax and walk slowly back to the village I was no hurry its not like anyone there liked me anyway. I was watching the birds play and a squirrel scurry up a tree, I stopped by a pond and skipped a rock. And before I knew it I could hear the disrupting sounds of the village people, I blew out a puff of air and just as I was about to take another step... Snap went a twig and I  whipped around squinting and looking around trying find the source of the sounds my eyes landed on a set if bushes I swear I saw eyes but when I blinked they were gone. " okay not creepy at all" I said to my self and slowly continued to walk. The whole time feeling as if I was being watched. I finally came to a clearing and stood in front of the giant gates of the village "state your name". A voice boomed " you know my name" I said lazily "state your name" the voice boomed again I blew a heavy sigh and brushed my bangs out of my face "Ryder strong" I know stupid last name but I am stuck with it with that the gates opened and I entered with ease when a hand stopped me and a voice said "your late back. Your supposed to be back before the bell" I looked to my left to the captain of guard and said "piss off " "excuse me!" He boomed "watch your  tongue girly or you will lose it now give me some respect"

"Oh please" I said "not even your mother would give you respect with a face like yours" and ripped my arm from his grip and stormed away. I was lying he isn't ugly he is actually a very handsome man and he is nice....if you are in his good books any girl would be lucky to have him, any girl but me I hate order or any sort of law and he is controlling. As I stalked through the village I looked to the ground because I know people will be looking at mez either that or ignoring my existence, I was the freak and everybody is scared of me because I dare to venture out into the forest. I walked very quickly to the other side of the village to my little cottage I opened the little door with a bump of my shoulder because it is sticky and entered "I am hooooome" I yelled and listened as it echoed through out the house. Guess dad isn't home yet. I dumped my shoes by the door and walked through the kitchen to the stairs which I took two at a time up to my room, I love my room it is in the attic it is nice and quiet and I have a window on the room so I can look at the sky. I got undressed and put on my PJs I layed my cloak across the chair at my desk which was by my bed I put my basket next to the desk on the floor I then proceeded to go down stairs to the bathroom to wash up I grabbed a quick bite of bread for dinner and ran back up stairs to write in my journal not diary I am NOT a girly girl anyway i lit a candle and opened my journal and began to writ e about the strange snap in the forest earlier and my thought about grandma and mom. Then I closed my book and layer down and stared at the flame of the candle for a few minutes before blowing it out and staring out the window at the sky the last thing I remember is seeing the full moon and hearing a howl piercing the silent night, Before I fell into darkness.

so.... I hope that didn't suck to bad ;) I have always been a fan of little red riding hood so yea... There you go :) and sorry for the short chapter.....
