A gift.
That was what was in the basket, he had said.
Of course this had been his idea. He always had a soft spot for her, and treated her as if she was his daughter.
She smiled. At least some one accepted her.
The basket was one of those typical little red riding hood baskets, just slightly bigger. There was a red ribbon tied on the handle.
Thank you, they had said, as she had at least kind of proven she wasn't an enemy. Hopefully.
She sighed, with sadness or relief, she had no idea.
She was almost afraid what was in the basket. Hopefully not something dangerous. She shuddered at the thought.
Cautiously, she peeked into the baaket .
Her eyes widened with shock. It had been no joke when they said it was a gift.
Biting her lip, she picked it up and carried it in her strong arms.
That's when she realized something about this gift, how it looked like-
She pushed the thought out of her head. No one ( unless they already knew) could find out about this.
No one.
She swore to protect this with all her powers.
That's when she noticed a note on the basket.
This could change your life and make it better. I know it will. After all, I made these thousands of years ago. Its part of you now. Literally . And thank you.
H.
She grinned for probably the millionth time today. She stared out to the waters and to her arms.
It might not end as unlucky as her life. Maybe. She slumped on to the ground, feeling lightheaded.
Maybe.
Of course the fates didn't want that to happen.
