Maka Albarn is just a sweet girl who cares about her grandmother in the woods and her trusty red cape and hood. Soul is a lone wolf who wonders the woods in search for a better life away from his family. What will become of these two different souls as they meet in the woods. Will it have a happy ending, or are they destined to live the tales of a forgotten fairytale?

~Albarn Family House~

"Maka! Please come here." Her mother's voice echoed through the halls of the tiny house.

"Coming!" Maka called. She put her book down and ran through the hallway into the kitchen where her mother was, baking.

"I want you to go and take some sweets to your grandmother in the woods. She is very ill and would like to see you." Her mother said wrapping a loaf of bread in a cloth. She placed the bread in a basket with wne and some cookies, then handed it to Maka. " Please come back before dark. If you can not, stay at your grandmother's house."

"Don't worry. I can take care of myself. The woods aren't that scary." Maka said, grabbing her cape and hood off the coat rack and placing it on.

"Please don't stray from the path and Don't talk to starngers." Her mother walked her to the door and saw her off.

"What could be so dangerous about the woods?" Maka asked herself as she walked along the path, towards the deep, dark,
woods.

~Woods~

"Soul! Eat something! Your father and brother worked really hard to get us some food." His mother nagged, smacking him in the head.

"I'm not hungry..." Soul mumbled, scrathing behind his ear.

"Wes caught this. I'm so proud of him." Soul's father said, ruffling the hair of Wes, Soul's older brother.

"Why can't you hunt like Wes?" His mother asked harshly. "You could learn a thing or two from him."

Soul growled. He had enough of this. He got out of his chair and started walking into the woods. Every day was always about Wes. Soul hated it. He had grabbed a couple meals, but he never got credit. He was even know as the big bad wolf in some parts of the woods. Why should he be treated like that from his own family.

"I should catch something just to show them." Soul mumbled, walking towards the path.

As Soul walked along the path, he soon heard a gasp. As he looked up, he saw a girl dressed in a red cape and a hood, carrying a basket.

"Who are you?" The girl called to him.

"What does it matter to you?" Soul growled, showing his fangs.

The girl didn't flinch. " I"m Maka. What do they call you?" Maka called again, stepping closer

"I'm something you should be afraid of." Soul said in a low growl.

Maka walked over to Soul. Before he could try to scare her away, she pulled a book out of the basket and slammed it into his skull.

"Ow! That hurt!" Soul said, rubbing his head.

"Who are you? Tell me or i'll give you another taste of book to your skull." Maka threatened, holding the book firmly in her hand.

"Fine! They call me the Big Bad Wolf in the woods." Soul said, looking at the ground.

"Don't you have a name?" Maka asked, sweetly.

"Soul" He replied.

"That's a cool name." Maka held out her hand towards him. He looked at it before taking it.

"Why aren't you scared?" Soul asked

"Huh?" Maka asked, not understanding what he said

"Aren't you afraid?" Soul asked, looking her straight in the eyes.

"Why should I be?" Maka asked

"I'm a monster! I kill people and animals fo food!" Soul replied, scared of her answer.

"But. You seem gentle. You seem like you don't want to kill anyone." Maka said, placing her hand on his cheek. Soul flinched, but then leaned into her hand, feeling her warmth.

"You're the first person to say that." Soul said, closing his eyes as he leaned into her hand.

"Besides, you haven't tried to kill me." Maka chuckled as she removed her hand from his cheek.

"What are you even doing out in the woods in the first place?" Soul asked, looking at her basket.

"My grandmother lives here and she fell ill. I am bringing her some snacks to help her get better." Maka said, pointing to the path up ahead. "The path takes you to a small village where my grandmother lives."

"You better hurry and go. It's almost dark." Soul said, giving her a little push.

"Will you walk with me? I want to talk to you more." Maka asked, turning towards him

"I should get going. If i'm not home soon, my brother is probably going to come looking for me. And trust me, he won't be as nice as I am." Soul said, looking in the direction from where he came.

"I just want to talk more. My grandmother's village isn't far from here." Maka said, grabbing his hand and walking along the path.

"Fine." Soul sighed, giving into her demands.

As they walked along the path, Maka told him about her life and Soul told her about his family. When they were getting closer to the village, Soul stopped.

"What's wrong?" Maka asked, looking back at him.

"Run." Soul growled as a pair of glowing green eyes appeared from the woods.
