Papa?" I screamed running on the creaking floor boards of our old house. My red cloak flew in front of me as I pulled my red hood my shiny brown hair. "Whats wrong, my darling?" Asked Papa as I walked into his bedroom. He was folding some Landry that he had let to dry out outside after he washed it in the huge bucket that all the other villagers used. I looked around to see a bed and a little old table beside. Granny had always told me it belonged to her parents before she gave it to my father as a present. "Come quick. Something terrible has happened." I said in a worried voice. Papa hopped up quickly from the bed and followed me outside our dwelling. I led him to the wishing well where we got all out water supply from. Villagers surrounded quickly. We both looked down in to it to see dark red blood that filled the well to the very rim. "The wolf. It's back." He whispered to himself. "Hazel, there is no need to worry. You'll be safe." He said. I noticed the blood was the same color as my dark cloak. Some of the time, people called me Hazel because that is my name of course, but sometimes people called me other names that referred to my cloak. Most often, people called me Little Red.

I heard the the snow crunching under foot as I ran as fast as my legs would take me through the forest. The air whipped through my hair as I ran, creating a ribbon like flow behind me. I dipped and dodged around trees, careful not to trip or run into anything. Just a little further, I thought to myself. I knew I would be safe as soon as I saw the little cottage at the end of the thick forest. I was so close to my freedom, so close to opening the door. Bam! My body instantly became cold. I squealed as the snow fell into my collar and down my back. I wiggled trying to get it to pass through my coat and drop out the bottom. I turned around with a glare on my face. My father stood facing me with a smug grin. Again, I attempted to stomp into the house when suddenly, my mother jumped out at me out of no where and pelted snowballs at my entire body, I noticed through the chaos my big sister was also helping her. "OKAY! I surrender!" I cried, falling back into the icy blanket with tears of laughter flowing from my eyes. ********* I gasped as I woke from my dream. I looked at the forest around me. Cold, dark and empty. I still had hope that they were just hiding and that this was all just a bad dream, but after a moment or two of listening to the trees creaking, I sighed. I was alone.
