Despite her mother's death clawdia grew up strong and beautiful, but he father was another story. Since the death of cece the wolf and clawdia grew apart from each other.
Each morning as her father left for his job in the southern section of the woods, clawdia would sneak out of their house and explore the woods that she too would once stalk in. she was home schooled and her father rarely let her outside the house.
Her favorite part about being in the woods was climbing to the very top of the trees to see the world beyond the woodland. From there she could see the castle and the kingdom and the village. And she loved every minute of it.
As she was watching this beautiful scene she heard something from below, looked below and saw someone wearing a red leather jacket with a hood. The person sat on a rock below the tree, clawdia father had warned her about humans but as usual her curiosity got the better of hooked her legs onto a low branch and swung upside down next to him.
"Hi there" she said.
The person jumped back falling off the rock, Clawdia laughed.
"Are you alright?" she asked.
"Yeah, I think" said the person.
Clawdia flipped off the tree branch, sticking the landing. She helped the stranger up off his back, noticing it was a teenage boy around her age.
The stranger held out his hand. "Rider hood" he introduced himself.
She looked his hand over then sniffed it, rider pulled his hand back slowly.
"Do you have a name?" he asked.
"Yes" answered clawdia "its clawdia Elizabeth wolf."
"You're the daughter of the wolf?" asked rider.
"Yes" said clawdia.
"How weird is that?" said rider "I'm the son of little red."
"Wow!" said Clawdia.
"I didn't expect you to be so pretty" he said "I like your tail."
"Thank you!" said clawdia "do you want to touch it?"
"Okay" answered rider.
He stroked her tail "it's so soft" he said.
"Thanks" said clawdia "I shampoo and condition it."
Then the alarm on clawdia's watch went off. "I have to go" she said. She had to beat her father home.
"Wait" rider said "I would really like to see you again, and tonight the prince is having a karaoke party for all the teenage fairy tale characters. Would you like to go?"
"I'll try" she said.
And with that she ran back to her house.
