AN: I decided to be extra generous with this section today and post a twoshot! *Cheering is acceptable* lol. Read on.
Leanette was going on a stroll through the woods when she heard the sounds of a young girl screaming and the hungry roar of a wolf. Wolf attacks were very common, especially in the woods, but something about this one was different. There was a compelling force surrounding Leanette, amking her want to save the wolf's potention victem. Problem was things in the woods echoed and the sounds could be coming from miles away. Leanette decided to resort to something that she wouldn't usually do. Not using magic, but her instinctive mind. Within the short time of three minutes Leanette had found them. Three minutes could've been too late, but it wasn't. She got there just in time. A blonde girl in a red cloak was just inches away from the drooling wolf's mouth.
"Hey!" Leanette shouted, catching the wolf's attention. "Pick on someone your own size!" with a point of her finger she seperated the girl and the wolf, then sent the wolf flying backwards for yards through the trees. The blonde girl looked up at Leanette with wide, shocked eyes.
"Are you alright?" she asked. The blonde girl nodded only half paying attention to the fact that she was being asked a question and asked one of her own.
"What are you?" Leanette smiled slightly. She should've seen that coming.
"I'm," she paused taking a deep breath. "I'm a witch," she answered. If it were possible the girl's eyes widened even more. Normally she would've said something like, 'Uh huh. Sure ya are,' and go onto where she was headed. She'd seen it though. The woman standing before her threw the wolf away from her with just a point of her finger. She had to clear her throat before speaking again.
"You - you saved me!" exclaimed the blonde. "I thought I would be his lunch for sure!"
"Not all witches are bad," Leanette informed the girl. "Besides, with that scream of yours I'm suprised no one else could hear it. Do you have a name?"
"L-Little Red," the blonde girl answered. Leanette had to hold back a laugh, she was quite little in height and was clad in red from head to toe. "A-And you?"
"Leanette, but most people know me as 'the witch',"
"That's pretty," Little Red commented.
"So, Little Red, what are you doing in this part of the woods?" There couldn't have been a cottage for miles. Just wild and plant life.
"I was on my way to Grandmother's house when that horrible wolf came up to me. He convinced me to stray from my usual path speaking of flowers and how there were so many different paths that were worth exploring. He seemed so nice - how could I know?"
"Well you know now. Nice is different than good," was all Leanette could think of. She saw how rapidly darker it was getting. "Say, um, would you like some company on the way? It's getting dark," with a teasing tone she added, "Maybe fend off some more wolves along the way?" Little Red laughed.
"Sure, I'd - I'd like that," she answered.
The two walked side by side for the half hour it took to get to Little Red's Grandmother's house, getting to know each other along the way. By the end of the walk Leanette and Little Red had become friends.
