Of course I don't own The Path, if I did, I wouldn't be posting it here, now would I?
Basically my own interpretation of the Little Red Riding Hood inspired game, The Path.
Prologue
Red.
A lot of red.
That was the first thought of those who entered the home of the Red family.
It wasn't surprising, though, since the walls, floor and even the ceiling, in the entire front room, was in fact dark red. Even the clothing of the six girls that were currently in the room consisted of mostly red.
The only things not red, was the dining table and chairs, which were pitch black, and the front door, a single chair, the phone, a few toys and one fluffy bunny-rabbit, which were all white.
A middle-aged woman, wearing black dress pants, a red blouse and black jacket, came into the room and put a basket on the table.
"Make sure to get that to Grandma, will you?" she asked the six girls hurriedly. "I'll be working late tonight, please be good and Scarlet is in charge, so listen to her." she spoke strictly before she hurried through the front door, but not before waving and a quick "Bye, my angels!"
Silence rang for a few moments before the youngest girl started jumping excitedly.
"Can I take the basket to Granny...uh...please?" in her jumping around nearly forgetting the 'magic word'.
"Aren't you a bit young, Robin? I mean, to venture off into the woods..." Scarlet, the eldest, asked carefully.
"I'm already nine! And you all get to have a turn!" Robin pouted.
"I suppose she can have a turn..." The second eldest girl smiled as she pulled some fluff from her hat.
"Carmen, you're just saying that, because you don't want to go..." Scarlet glared at her younger sister, who just glared back.
"Oh, all right, fine, you can go."
"Yay!" Robin squeeled.
The girl dropped the toy car she was playing with and put on her red hood her grandmother had given her for her birthday, grabbed the basket and was about to head out the door when Scarlet grabbed her hand, and gave her a very serious look.
"Robin, be very careful, and remember the golden rule when you're in the forest: Stay on the path."
I'm surprised how little fanfics had been written for this game, I mean it's one of the best games I've ever played.
As for their surname, I decided to use 'Red' since that was in the filename of each girl before the developers chose proper names.
