Red Murderess
Prologue
"Lets see, what will he like?" a girl, no more than 7 years of age with bright red hair, whispered under her breath. "Maybe that chocolate cake…hmm or maybe that one. Grr why do they have to look so good."
"Can I help you miss?" The shop clerk asked, her hair was concealed by a hair net and her kind grey eyes study the red head.
"Oh um yes, I was wondering which cake would you recommend?"
"Now that is a question I can answer." said the lady with a laugh, "I would have to recommend that vanilla cake with the strawberry on top."
The lady pointed at the cake that she just described, the girl looked at the cake and a huge grin appeared on her heart shape face.
"That looks perfect! Can I have 2...wait never mind make that 3." the girl said, she put up three fingers to show the number, and the woman just laughed. She went and took three pieces of the cake and placed them into a pink box. Handing the cakes over to the little girl, she smiled.
"How much?"
"Just take them." The lady said, her face peaceful and serene. She liked the young youth.
"Oh no but I can't." said the red head, her face in a panic.
"Oh you must, just pretend it's a gift." she insisted
"But…" the girl tried to protest.
"No buts, now run along."
"…..ok…." she turned to leave, but quickly turned back to the shop clerk and bobbed into a curtsey. "Thank you."
"Oh before you go, may I ask for your name?" asked the lady.
"Yes, its Akane Nakamura."
