I helped her up while she leaned on me for support. For the first time I became aware of how silent the crowd had grown. They all looked like they had seen a ghost. Jones was the only one who looked his normal color and even then he was grinning like crazy. "Ladies and Gentlemen!" Shades shouted in to the surprised crowd. She grabbed my limp arm and held it high in the air. "We. Have. Our. Champion!" After Red's home and family burn to ashes, she joins a secret camp hidden deep in the woods. Though Red finds it hard to get over her loss, her future is not looking to bad. But then again, she never realized she would get locked in a prison, almost eaten by a wolf more than once, save a half dead boy, fight in a battle, or meet some of the people who would change her life forever. But most of all she never realized what a warrior she was to become.

I shuddered. It had never been so dark, nor so quiet before. There was always the light of the moon to guide me. The sound of the wind against the trees. I shook the thought from my mind and continued further into the wood. Then I saw it. A white light spread across the ground in front of me. The clouds had parted from where they were, revealing the moon at its fullest. I stared in awe. It had never been so bright. The ambiance began to come back. The wind began to dance with the trees. I closed my eyes. The scent of oak filled my nose and exhaled through my mouth. The aroma filled me with exhilaration. It filled me with something I couldn't explain. I felt something I hadn't felt in a long time. Although it was something I wasn't used to feeling, I craved it deeply. I felt happy. I felt as if nothing else mattered than this moment. I opened my eyes. Everything seemed clearer. I could see the particles of dust flying in the beam of light that shone around me. I wanted to stay here for longer. I wanted this moment to last forever. Until I saw the wolf. It was hidden among the fold of trees behind me. It stared at me in aggravation. It's brows furrowed in my direction. It's face, livid with anger, revealed a set of unpleasant and sharp teeth. It began to move slightly forward. The wolf bounded towards me. It happened so quickly I had no time to react. It's limbs outstretched. It's teeth bared. My body, paralyzed from fear, refused to move. My lip quivered, urged to call for help, but no help would come. I was too deep into the woods. No one would hear my screams. The thought was soon interrupted by the wolf's teeth digging into my side.
