Being out in the woods was freedom to Cerise Hood. Leaping over rocks, bounding past trees and deeper into the forest. Her eyes golden as she let her wolf side emerge. Many knew that she was the daughter of Little Red Riding Hood, but few gained the knowledge that she was also the daughter of the Big Bad Wolf. Considering the fact that she spends most of her time in school, and has to keep her canine insticts under control, once in while she likes to step out into the Enchanted Forest and let her wolf side run free.
Cerise growled softly in content. She slowley sunk into all fours while continuing to run deeper into the forest. She stopped when she heard the distant sound of footsteps. The sound of cruching leaves under some mysterious beings feet. The teenage wolf slid back into the shadows wanting to keep her self hidden. "HEY! There was something creepin' up there." Cerise heard one man say. "Lets go check it out then." She heard another whisper. They were close, almost too close. Cerise growled lowly. She continued to growl until she heard the familer sound of clicking. It almost sounded...like...a gun. Cerise positioned herself, ready to jump out and attempt to scare off whoever it was that was hunting in her parts of the woods. She waited...the sound of the crunching dead leafs coming closer and closer until finally, Cerise jumped out from behind the saftey of her tree on all fours. However before she could even, growl or attack, there was a loud POP. The sound echoed through the forest. It shook the trees, like the wind and bounced around in Cerise's head. Although the previous sound of a gunshot was most shocking to anyone who was near by, Cerise couldn't find it in her to care. Mere seconds after the shot was fired, Cerise let out a pained gasp. She clutched her side, and stumbled backwards before hitting a tree and falling. Cerise removed her hand from her side and cracked her eyes open to look. To her dismay, her hand was coated in a thick, red liquid. The injured half wolf moved her hood to the side only to find the same red liquid seeping through her top. She looked up to see the monsters who had done this to her, but was to late as they had already fled the seen, seeing as the had shot a young girl instead of an animal. Cerise's vision was blurring as she fought for her conciousness. She needed a plan, and fast. Suddenly an idea snuck its way into her head. The wolf threw her head back, and used all of her left over strength to howel into the sky. After only a few minuets, she heard the rustling of trees and bushes She sighed in relife when she saw her pet wolf Carmine pop his head out of a bush. The little dog ran over to his owner and whimpered. "Go...get...help." Breathed Cerise. Carmine looked at her as if to say, "Im not leaving you.", but Cerise gave him a reassuring smile as she clutched her side even tighter. Carmine sped off to find the one person he had seen in the woods who would do anything to help Cerise. Hunter Huntsman.
With Hunter.
Hunter was in the middle of practicing his archery when Carmine burst throught the bbushes with enough force to knock him over. "WHOA! Whoa there Carmine whats up? Where is Cerise?" He asked as the small canine pulled at his sleeve. Carmine let go only to give a few panicked barks, before going back to pull on Hunter. Hunter had a feeling that this was serious and Cerise was not ok. "Ok, ok Im coming." Hunter stated as he allowed Carmine to drag him into the woods.
Hunter was dragged for about 10 minuets until the small wolf cub skid to stop. What was infront of him could be considered a horror to everyone and anyone he knew. There infront of a tall tree was a puddle, but not just any puddle. This puddle was thick and red. This puddle was blood. The puddle had skid mark coming from it as though someon had slipped and fell in it. Hunter and Carmine followed the mark to a tree that was more in the shadows. Hunter crept foward hoping to god that it wasn't who he thought it was. as he crept the shadowy figure came into veiw and there she was. Cerise. Bleeding.
