George Washington had asked his son to deliver some sweets to his grandmother. George's grandmother loved receiving sweets, but George was far too busy with work, so Lafayette was going in his place. George was a bit hesitant to send his son alone in the woods, where creatures like wolves roamed around.

"Just stay on the path and you'll be fine." George advised his son, handing him the basket.

"I will, I promise." Lafayette smiled brightly, slipping on his crimson cape, that flowed down like a gown, and provided a hoodie in case of rain. He gave his goodbyes to his father, and off he went.

Lafayette pulled the hoodie over his head to block out the sun. He was sticking to the ride just as his father asked of him too. Although he was getting thirsty. He slightly panicked when he realized he forgot to pack water. He had to stay on the path. That's what he was told. Lafayette would try to ignored his parched throat until he could make it to his grandmother's.

Night had fallen and Lafayette's throat wasn't any better. At the corner of his eye, he noticed a small lake. The water around here would be fresh, it would alright for him to take a drink. But that meant going off the trail. He promised his father he wouldn't. Well, maybe just for a minute.

"I'm so thirsty." Lafayette panted slightly as he strolled off the trail and past the two bushes. He kneeled down and placed his hands into the water, cupping them together to be able to get a drink. From his hands, he took a long sip, sighing at the refreshing taste. He went back for more. "So refreshing." He sighed happily.

Unknown to Lafayette, he was being watched. His father didn't warn him of the creatures roaming the forest. Creatures that would love to make a snack out of someone like Lafayette. A wolf, hiding behind a bush, poked his snout out to sniff at the air. There was a lovely scent in the air, the scent of something sweet, something innocent, something delicate. He knew it was coming from the human. He poked his head out of the bushes to get a better look at the human. He couldn't see much since he was facing away. Then, the wolf had an idea. He retreated back into the bush to change into his human form.

Lafayette had enough to drink from the stream, making a satisfied noise. He was about to get back up when he heard a voice from behind him.

"Hello there." A voice purred.

Lafayette, turned to face the voice obviously startled. It was a man, he was leaning against a tree, watching Lafayette with almost predatory eyes. The man seemed taken aback for a moment, before going back to his steel stare.

Lafayette was surprised. He didn't expect anybody but himself to be out in the woods this late at night. He got up from the ground, and dusted his skirt off. He smile politely at the man, although looking a bit nervous. This man seemed older, and very intimidating. "Hello, my name is Lafayette, who are you?" Lafayette asked curiously.

The man moved away from the tree was leaning, taking a step towards Lafayette. "My name is Thomas Jefferson, a pleasure." He grinned widely. That scent got his nose again and he sniffed the air again slightly. This human was very attractive looking. Such an innocent face and body that looked like it would shatter if you aren't careful. This human's scent was very enticing, making Thomas want to get closer to this human. "My, my, what is a little one like you doing out this late? It's so dark, and you can't see clearly. Never know what might out here, lurking around."

Lafayette was taken back by this man. He did seem older, by a few years. This man also looked intimidating, and...well very handsome. More handsome than any man he's seen. He wasn't sure how to respond to something like this. "M...My grandmother," He gestured to his basket. "I'm going to deliver her some sweets, cakes and cookies." He responded. The reminder of him being on the trail screamed out in his mind. "I-I should go now." He began to walk away, before he was pulled back. Thomas had grabbed his arm.

"You? Alone? Now, isn't that cute." He let out a deep laugh. "There's only one little old lady I know that lives around these woods, she's awfully far away." He let go of Lafayette, and began circling around him, like a predator stalking it's prey. "I've already eaten, so I won't bother with you." He grinned showing his sharp canine teeth. "But...there are others just like me, that would love to eat you up. You won't make it to sunrise."

Lafayette began to feel a bit frightened. At the sight of those teeth made Lafayette realized that this man was a wolf. He looked back towards the trail, feeling as if he should run. He gulped nervously, gripping the basket's handle tighter. "W-Well...then I should hurry, before I get held up again." He managed to say. "I-I have to be going Mr. Jefferson."

Thomas just laughed again. "So naive. You're actually going alone?" He cocked his head to the side. He stopped circling Lafayette to think for a moment. This human was very interesting. He was attractive, innocent, everything Thomas wanted in someone. He wanted this human. He would stick around this human, try to woo them. He grinned, putting a hand on Lafayette's back.

"Well we should be going." Thomas announced, guiding Lafayette back to the trail.

"W-We? I-I can't go with you, my father told me not to go with strangers." Lafayette protested, looking nervous about all of this.

"You think I'm really going to let someone like you go off alone? Trust me, your father would thank me if he knew his precious son was being protected." Thomas grinned. "Now come on, which way is to grandma's house?"

Lafayette looked up at Thomas, unsure if he should let this man travel with him. This man was older and looked dangerous. Lafayette bit his lip unsure of what to do. He didn't know why but he felt himself nodding, giving this man permission to go along with him. Lafayette took a gulp. "I-It's down this way."

Thomas seemed pleased that he was allowed to tag along. He started down the path, looking back at Lafayette over his shoulder.

"Let's go little red." He laughed.
