Red's P.O.V
(Enchanted Forrest... Before the curse)
It was pitch black outside, I was currently waiting for someone in the forrest. She was late and she knew it, maybe something happened. Maybe she got caught, all these possibilities running through my brain.
I could hear loud breathing, it could be a villager running from the queen. I could hear it coming closer and closer, I decided to take coverage behind a bush. It wasn't much but it was something.
I waited for what seemed ages till I heard a branch crackle. At that exact moment everything went silent. I peeked through an open space and I saw someone covered in a blue greenish hood.
They had a bow and arrow laced on their back. They seemed confused and possibly lost. As I moved closer I was able to get a better view. I could see black strands of hair dangling from the hood. From the results that I gathered I'm guessing it's a woman. I watched as she crouched down and grabbed the canteen and slowly placed it over the water.
I took this as my chance and slowly made my way towards her. I had an advantage here, I was just a couple feet away when I felt a sharp point pressed against my neck. "What do you think you're doing?" I still couldn't figure out her face, she had some type of bandana wrapped around her mouth. But her eyes look all too familiar.
"Well aren't you a feisty one, I was supposed to meet someone here" I said confidently awaiting for her to lower the dagger away from my throat.
"Really? Is that the reason why you've been staring at me for the past five minutes?" I looked in her eyes. "Well you're a sight to see love, now why don't you do me a favor and lower the dagger". I said placing my hand on hers and slowly lowering it.
But she rather harshly replaced it again. "Well isn't someone stubborn". She scoffed "Listen clearly I'm not here for your compliments... have anything that's valuable?". I let out a chuckle "Sweetheart do I look like I own a castle, as far as I'm concerned you're stealing from your own kind".
"My own kind? We are two different things, wolf" she said a smirk plastered on her face. "You see we all have our own fair share of secrets, don't we Snow White" I said with a grin.
A look of confusion washed over her face "Who sent you? Was it the queen?" She said penetrating the dagger to my throat and leaving a cut. I flinched, feeling blood trickling down my throat "Darling haven't we gone over this, I'm here to meet someone".
"Well if what you say is true then you probably don't need this" she said reaching over and grabbing my gold necklace. She started to inspect it and gently mumbled "Gold, this could be my ticket to freedom" . "You're going to leave" I said in a shocked tone, "Give me a reason as to why I shouldn't kill you right now".
In one swift movement I grabbed my dagger and placed it on her neck as well. "You should really consider rephrasing the question" I said giving her a slight smile. I lowered my dagger to show her that I wasn't a threat. She slowly and hesitantly removed her dagger.
She then started to walk away, "Where are you going?" She didn't answer. "So it's true, you're a bandit?" No answer once again. "Red?" I heard my name being called out in the distant. "Red huh? Nice name, it suits you" she said.
"Red?" I heard my name being called out once again but she was closer this time. I turned around trying to locate where she was. I felt a hand on my back and instantly jumped reaching for my dagger.
"Geez, you scared me" I said lowering the dagger from her throat "Sorry, too keep you waiting I kinda ran into the queens guards on the way" Abigail said.
"They're looking for Snow White" she said handing me a paper that read WANTED with snows face. I felt like chasing after her and warning her, I can wolf up and try to find her but my mind and legs spoke two different things.
"Did you happen to cross paths with her?" Abigail said her eyebrow arching. "Um no... I didn't" I said, still looking at the paper. "Then theirs no use for this" Abigail yanked the paper from my hands and crumbled it.
"What happened to your neck?" She said gently placing a finger going over the cut "C'mon it's nothing, let's go it's freezing" I nodded and we started following the trail when I stopped. I could still smell her, she must still be wandering around here.
"I'll catch up with you, were low on firewood" I said
Just as I expected Snow White was nowhere to be seen, that's what most people would think.
"I will find you again Snow White, it could be years and months from now but I can assure you I will find you". I said knowing she would hear me. Somehow her scent seemed to move upwards.
I looked up and saw her dangling from a tree. She smiled at me, "I believe that" she said. I looked at her once more then left to go find Abigail.
