A cute petite girl with short blonde hair skipped her way into the woods. She carried a wooden basket and wore her favourite red cloak. "I want to surprise Papa today." The girl smiled and hummed happily as she imagined her Papa shocked face. That little girl named Rin.

Rin used to stroll around the woods by herself when she aged 10, which was one year ago. Of course she never go very deep into the woods since she promised her Papa not to do so. Rin planned to deflower the beautiful wild flowers in the woods. Since her house was very near to the woods, it became her private playground.

"This one smelled nice." Rin said after she sniffed a wildflower. Rin was very focused on plucking the wild flower in the woods that she did not realized she was walking deeper into the woods. She kept on plucking any flowers that looked and smelled nice until her basket was full with wild flowers.

'Is she the red riding hood my mother always talk about?' A boy with blonde hair and a pair of wolf ears thought. His deep blue eyes were locked to the figure of a girl in red cloak. He wagged his tail restlessly as he spied on the girl. 'She might be at the same age as me.' He thought to himself again. "What is she doing very deep in the woods alone? No.. no.. no.. Len, you should stop thinking about the girl and return home fast. If she is the red riding hood that your mother talked about, then you are in a real danger." He whispered to himself.

Len slowly turned away. He concealed his presence and started to walk away from the girl with red cloak. When he took about 3 steps away, his sharp ears twitched. His ears caught the little girl's sobbed. He slowly turned back and peeked at the girl figure while hiding behind a tree. "Is she lost?" The cute werewolf talked to himself.

"Papa~" Rin silently cried. "I broke my promise and go too deep into the woods..." She sobbed. "I forgot my way home and I am scared." She whispered to herself.

Len could hear every single word the girl with red cloak said since he had a pair of super sharp ears. 'What should I do?' Len asked himself. He was scared that something bad would happen if he help The Red Riding Hood. However, he could not bear to see the blonde girl crying.

Len picked up the longest stick on the ground and slowly approached the girl in red cloak. He stopped walking once the stick he picked up earlier can reach the girl. He poked the girl's back with the stick. "Hey, are you lost?" He asked while kept on poking the girl's back.

Rin turned her head to her back and her eyes widened. "A-A werewolf." She stuttered. "Please don't hurt me." She said and get ready to run away.

Len sighed. "I don't want to hurt you, and you should not run into that direction or you will end up in my village." Len stopped the girl from running away. "What is your name?" He asked.

"I am Rin." She answered.

"I am Len." He introduced himself. "Are you the red riding hood my mother always talk about?" He asked again.

Rin shook her head. "Like I told you before, my name is Rin. I just wear this red cloak because it is my favourite." She explained. Her fear slowly faded away. The wolf in front of her looked very kind.

"I know you are lost. You should not travel very deep into the woods when you fear a wolf that much. If I help you, will the other human kill me?" Len asked a question based on the story of red riding hood again.

"Looked like you fear human as much as I fear wolves." Rin stated.

Len face reddened. "I am brave. I am strong and have nothing to fear about." He looked away.

Rin chuckled. "Don't worry Len. If you help me, you will be my friend, and I will never let anyone hurt my friend." She assured the werewolf in front of her.

"Okay then, I will help you to get out from the woods." Len said still looking away. 'Look like I broke my promise with my mother.' He thought to himself.

'Look like I broke another promise with Papa.' She thought to herself.

Len then helped Rin and guided her until she recognize her surroundings. "I think here is enough Len. We don't want another human to see you right?" Rin said.

Len nodded.

"Thank you for helping me." Rin smiled. "Bye-bye" Rin waved her hand and started to walk away.

As the distance between them grew, they had the same question in their mind. 'Can we meet again?'.
