Ruby was walking to her grandmother's house, happily humming a tune her mother had taught to her. Her grandmother had gotten sick, so she was bringing bread and soup to her. It wasn't the walk that had her mother worried, it was the fact she had to wonder in the woods. Her mother would've done it, but she and Ruby's grandmother never got along.
Ruby kept replaying her mother's words in her head. "Sweetie, try and be safe. Don't go near any animals in the forest, and stay away from strangers. But don't stray the path." Ruby closed her eyes and sighed a bit.
"Stay on the path, stay on the path, stay on the path…" She kept repeating this until she got to her grandmother's house. She gave her everything that was in the basket, and began to make her way home. It had grown darker, and a bit colder. Ruby was thankful for her hood, but that's when she was stopped by a growling that sounded like it was behind her.
Her eyes widened, and she looked back. There was a wolf behind her, glaring fiercely at her. Soon, it went to attack. Luckily for her, she could run pretty fast. She almost ran into a bear trap, but saw it and leaped over it. Unfortunately, for the wolf, he didn't see it and got stuck. She looked at the wolf as it yelped in pain, whimpering. She felt bad, but knew if she got close to him, he'd eat her, so she ran away.
The wolf stayed there, whimpering. Luckily for him, the hunter who set up the trap walked over and removed it from him. Just like that, the wolf sprang into action and ate the hunter, before going back to hiding, and going to sleep.
