A.N. Finally I got the second chapter out! Hope you like it!


Little Red Riding Hood's POV

After finishing all my chores, I woke mom up from her sleep. She was happy and glad that I had done all the work. She was getting sick like grandma these days and I wanted her to get healthy quickly so I did everything I could. I made her breakfast, did all the housework, and made sure everything will be all right. I helped her out of bed and we both walked into the living room. She quietly ate her breakfast as I gazed out the window.

It was still dawn at this time. I had to wake up extremely early for to do the chores. "Hey Little Red." my mother said suddenly. I jumped up a bit, surprised by the sudden call. I turned around and smiled at her.

"What is it Miku?" I asked. "Miku" was the real name of the girl that played my mom in my story. But we usually call each other our real names when we're not playing the story. My real name was "Rin". Just "Rin". When I woke up, well as the characters in stories call it "born", the only thing I knew was that my true name was Rin and I played the character Little Red Riding Hood.

"You will be fine right? You have been killed many times already..." I shook my head to calm her worried face.

"I don't die in the story. I just get gobbled up. But recently, the wolf has this potion with him. I wonder where he got it from. Anyways, it's a shrinking potion that shrinks me down every time so grandma and I are both fine." I said. But Miku's expression didn't change at all.

"Why are you talking about the wolf all of a sudden? He doesn't seem like a good person to be near. Luckily, our home is off limits for him." she said. I stiffened. "Why was I talking about the wolf?" I shrugged.

"I don't know. Probably just more proof to show you that I'm safe I guess..." I mumbled. The time was now 7:59. I hurriedly ran to the kitchen and grabbed the same old basket as always. I walked in front of Miku and said, "It's almost time." She nodded and stood up.

When the time became 8, she patted my head and smiled. "Okay dear. You must bring these sweets and treats to your grandmother. She has been sick lately and I want you to bring these to her so she'll get healthy faster. Understood?" she asked, giving me a motherly look. I smiled and nodded.

"Yes mom!" I ran out the door after my response. But mother had a warning for me.

"Don't forget to never talk to strangers!" she shouted at my back. I nodded but my character didn't listen. That character that I was born to act was a very demeaning and stupid person. She disobeys her mother and end up getting eaten by the wolf. But there was a good thing in this story. She fell in love with the hunter that had saved her and her grandmother and they end up married. Isn't the best but better than the rest.

I finally spotted the wolf at the other side of the road. I inhaled and exhaled, slowing down my beating heart. I gave him a fake smile that I hated the most about this character. She always smiles, it pains. I don't want to be her. It's so frustrating being this person that I'm not.

I collided into the wolf and apologized. Then we continued to live our life as characters in the story. Same routine, same life. It hasn't changed and it never will.

Although I've never really thought about it until now, I wonder what was the wolf's real name was. If he had a real name, that is.

Walking down the road to the flower field, I felt a strange feeling someone was following me. I looked around but all I saw were woodland animals. The flower field must be my favorite place in the story. It's always so beautiful and I like being there. I knelt down and picked a few roses, being careful to not prick my finger. The smell was so nice and sweet. Too bad I had to leave soon. That wolf probably already have went to grandma's.

Suddenly, I heard a sound behind me. I quickly turned around but there was nothing. "Probably just a bunny." I sighed at my idiocy and walked around the field. "I wish I had a different life." Running, I took off to grandma's.

"What is life?" I would always wonder to myself. "I don't understand it at all." That part is very true. When I was young, I used to think that this was my life. The life I'll be living for forever. But I soon understood that it was all a lie. I have lots of potential that I can use in a different life. The life I could never get because of my cruel fate. "Fate." That is also what keeps me back. "But from what?" I laughed at own pity. I didn't even have a goal in life. If only I could experience a world other than this, I would truly be happy. "Well, I'm probably the only one who thinks about this."


The door was right in front of me. Strangely, my vision was blurry. I gasped and quickly wiped my eyes. "I was crying?" I laughed again. "Sure I was." I pushed open the door and walked in. Everything happened just how the story was written. I questioned the wolf, then I got eaten, and afterwards, a hunter comes to save the day. I blushed to myself. I had liked the hunter ever since the first time I was born into this story. He was always so kind to me, and he was very handsome too. Those perfect blue eyes and shockingly wonderful blue hair; I just want it all.

I heard a chuckle beside me. I turned to face my grandmother. We were currently trapped in the wolf's belly, shrunken. My grandmother wasn't really an old lady. She just played as one. She's actually a really beautiful woman at a young age. Possibly younger than the hunter. Her real name was Luka, but as i said, we weren't allowed to speak about it in the story. "What were you thinking about just then?" she asked. I turned away from her.

"It's nothing." I mumbled. She giggled.

"Liar. I saw that blush. Thinking about that hunter again?" I blushed even harder, but I shook my head. The hunter's real name happened to be Kaito. I only called him that sometimes because I was a bit shy about it.

"No! I was just wondering if...if..." I had nothing. She laughed at my red face.

"It's fine. It's not your fault he's dreamy." she said. For some reason, I became angry.

"Are you competing against me?" I asked. She gave me a sly look.

"It's possible." she said as she flung her pink hair into the air. I scowled. But suddenly, I came up with the best comeback.

"But you can't. In this story, you aren't with Kaito. I am." I said proudly. I waited for her shocked face but instead, she chuckled. I was baffled.

"Oh dear. Looks like you have forgotten that at night, I have all the freedom I want. To do anything. And since the hunter lives nearby this very house... Well..." she said with a devious voice. I stood up and stomped my foot hard.

"Shut up! You can't do that! I love him and that's why I have to be with him." I shouted at the top of my lungs. Luka stared at me. I was about to apologize for my behavior but then a ray of light shone through a gap through the wolf's belly. Kaito has come. Thump. I gasped. "My heartbeat quickened." The potion that the wolf used on us wore off and we were back to our own size, and crawled out of his stomach. Kaito helped me out, then Luka. She smirked at me and I grunted back. I looked up at him and accidentally, our gaze met. I blushed deep red and averted my eyes. Luka laughed at me. I turned away from her and thanked him.

As said so in the story, the girl falls in love with the hunter and they get married later on. "But that's a little too much!" I shouted in my mind while speaking to him. Later, the scene suddenly changes into a church. When I first started to be in the story, it scared me a little. But as I played the story over and over again, I learned to get used to it. Instead of my regular red hood, I now wore a shining white wedding dress, complete with the veil covering my face. Kaito too, had changed immensely. He was now in a black suit, in my view, amazingly handsome. I couldn't stop staring at him, until the wedding bells rang. That was the signal that the two people were finally married. And also telling us that the story was over. I sighed and collapsed on the floor.

"This role is too hard..." I complained. Kaito laughed and sat down next to me. We were now back in our regular clothes since the story was over. He gave me a smile and my heart thumped louder than the other times. And that's when I finally noticed that this was the first time we actually sat together. Alone. I started to sweat and also fidget around.

"But you should be glad." he suddenly said. I jumped a little at his sudden words, but then calmed down. "It's okay. Just need to get through this talk. Aren't you used to this already?"

"Why should I be glad? It's frustrating and very annoying in many ways." I whined. He chuckled. I blushed even more red.

"Well, to put it simply," he started. "Everyone admires you and you are very well known. You should be glad about that." I buried my face between my knees. "This is bad. Really bad. My heart is thumping like crazy!"

I quickly jumped to my feet and with a red face, I stammered, "U-Uh... I g-gotta he-head home n-now. Miku's pr-probably w-waiting for m-me." And then, I ran away as fast as I could.

When I finally reached home, I opened the door quietly, hoping to secretly head to my room. But luck wasn't on my side. Miku appeared in front of me with a big smile. I was about to make a run for it, but she caught my shoulders. "Ah, ah, ah!" she said. "You must tell me about this Kaito you love so much." She pulled me over to the couch and sat me down. I placed my basket down on the table. With a serious face, she looked me right in the eye. I sighed.

"Can't be helped." I started to explain everything about him and how we talked alone and personally for the first time. When she heard this, she giggled like a child.

"That's so cute! You're so lucky that you have someone to love in this story. For I am just..." her face fell as she looked down with sad eyes. I smiled and held her hands in my own.

"You might not have a love here, but trust me, one day, you will find him." I said. She looked at me, and that's how I saw how sad she really was.

"How can you be so sure?" she looked around the room. "We can never escape this world. Because this is our life. Forever." she said in a depressed tone. I closed my eyes.

"You might be right Miku. But you have to believe. One day, we will get out of this story, and into another world. Where we will find a good life," I reopened my eyes, now glinting in the light because of my tears. "Because, because, I know we can..." I burst into tears and cried loudly. Miku patted my head and cried a little too. "There's no way. We can never escape from our fate. Once we were chosen to be what we are now, it's already done. No other way out. This life, is pure Hell."

After a while, my crying subsided. But I was still trickling a few tears onto the window sill. I hastily wiped them away and exhaled a long breath. I walked towards my bed and pulled my basket towards me. I opened it and took out a rose that I had previously picked in the flower garden. Sniffing it, I closed my eyes and thought deeply. "Though we might never escape from this place, we still must make the most of it." I walked back towards the window and let the rose dangle on my fingertips. The steady blow of the wind caused some rose petals to fall off and fly free. I smiled bitterly. "Lucky."

Suddenly, I heard a sneeze. I snapped my eyes wide open and looked around. "Hello?" I asked. "Is someone out there?" Silence. I was about to forget about the sound, but I suddenly heard a grunt. "No, I'm sure someone's out there." I jumped out my window and walked towards where I heard the sound: the bushes. I hesitated, wondering if it was some pervert who'd come to stalk me, but then I realized that there was no such character in this story. "Is there? Could Kaito be one?"

Taking a deep breath, I pushed away the two bushes that separated me from the stalker. Unblinking, I stared at the person. It was the wolf. "The wolf? What? What?!" But then, I heard footsteps walking towards us. I gasped and clutched the hem of my skirt tightly. "Who is it?"

Kaito appeared in front of us before I could ask. I exhaled, letting all my worries out. Well, not all. "Eh? Kaito? What are you doing here?" I asked him. He eyed the wolf who was lying on the grass in front of his feet.

"Ah, I had a feeling that you were gonna come here." Kaito said while kneeling down so he and the wolf were face to face. My eyes might be off, because I thought I saw the wolf flinch. Kaito. Motioned him to go away and he ran. When he was in a far off distance from us, I asked out loud, "What was that about?" I glanced at Kaito, hoping for an answer, but I was terrified at his expression. He was glaring at where the wolf disappeared to. He noticed me staring and quickly turned it into a smile. But there was no mistake. Something was off about Kaito.

"You shouldn't worry about it Rin. I'm sure he was just passing by..." But he didn't sound so sure himself.

"So, what are you doing here?" I repeated my question. He smiled and looked at my house.

"I just thought that you might need company." he said cheerfully. I stood there, dumbfounded. And then I had a sudden realization of what he possibly meant. "EH?! HE WANTS TO COME OVER TO MY HOUSE?! AT NIGHT?!" I turned around so he couldn't see my extremely red face. Slapping my cheeks to calm myself down might've caused attention because he was staring at me with wide eyes.

"I'm fine, I'm fine!" I said a little overly enthusiastic. He laughed at me. I sweat dropped. "You're hopeless. Hopeless..."

We walked into my house and i offered him a seat on the couch. He thanked me and I went to get Miku, who was probably up late making crafts. As I stepped into the hall towards her room, I heard a soft hum. I peered in from the open door space and saw her weaving a flower bracelet. The song was the song that she always hummed to me ever since I was "born" into this story. I never knew what the song was or how she knew it but I knew that she treasured that song very much. I haven't asked her about yet and I think that this is the time.

Her humming stopped abruptly when I knocked softly on the door. She smiled and motioned me to come in. I walked in and sat down on her bed beside her. I watched her in silence, trying to find the right words. "Um." I started. She placed the bracelet down and looked over at me.

"Yes Rin?" she asked.

"Er... Kaito's here." I finished with a beet red face. She laughed.

"Well, isn't that great!" she said. I nodded.

"And...I have a question for you." She chuckled.

"Come on, just tell me. If you're gonna ask if you should do anything tonight with him, well..." I stared at her with a red face.

"NO! I was going to ask you something else!" I said nervously. Laughing, she nodded for me to go on. I tapped my finger on my knee, trying to find the words to say. "Can you tell me what's the song you always hum?" When I asked her this, she stopped and froze.I winced. "Delicate subject?" She quickly shook her head.

"No, no. It's just that, I wasn't sure how to answer your question. I-I'd never thought that you'd ask me now..." she said with the same sad eyes I saw when I returned home. I shrugged.

"It's not really-I don't need to know. It's just a random question." I said, followed by a nervous chuckle. Miku wiped her eyes. "She was crying? Okay, now I'm really curious."

"But I will tell you soon. Just wait a little longer." she said. I nodded and got up to head back to the living room. When I returned, I saw Kaito looking outside the window.

"Kaito?" I said. That startled him because he flinched a bit.

"Ah! Rin! You're back!" he said. I walked next to him and looked outside too. I examined the scenery but there was nothing really eye catching.

"What were you looking at?" I asked. He laughed.

"It's nothing. I was just thinking of something." he said with soft eyes. My face fell. "Something, or someone?" I nodded so he couldn't see how sad I was. "Well," he walked to the door. "My checking is done. You guys are safe and there's nothing willing to hurt you." he said. I waved goodbye and started to walk to my room, but Kaito suddenly said, "But..."

"But what?" I asked him. His once warm eyes were now like cold ice. He looked at me with those terrifying eyes.

"Just don't go near that wolf. I sense he means trouble. Lots." And then, he left without a "goodbye". Stunned, I stood there for a while. "Why? What's wrong with the wolf? Sure he's a wolf but...is he a wolf on the inside? And those eyes... What happened to you Kaito?"

"Rin." The sudden call made me jump. I turned and saw Miku standing behind me.

"Oh, hey." I said flatly. She looked at me with worried eyes.

"Guy troubles?" she asked. I shrugged and twirled a strand of my blonde hair.

"Maybe." She smiled kindly.

"Get some sleep, maybe it'll clear your mind." she said while taking hold of my hand. Then she led me all the way to my room and shut the door quietly behind me. I sat down on my bed and hugged my knees against my body. I closed my eyes and sighed.

"What is wrong with everyone right now?" That question lingered on my mind as I laid my head down on my pillow and fell asleep.


A.N. Sorry for posting the second chapter so late. It is pretty long and I was busy on other fanfics so this took some time. But I hope you won't be that mad in your reviews. And thank you for reading this!
