In 10 years, the Prom Queen will be unknown

But you, my love

Will become a flower that even a Queen cannot compare to

The writer smiles for a selfie. She puts it up on media and writes a caption of how happy she is feeling. The writer then puts her phone down and look at the scars on her arm. She puts on a cardigan and walks out to the hot summer air. She walks to her friend's house and is greeted by her friend's mother.

She enters her friend's room and finds her friend in the corner. The writer says hi and the friend quickly hugs her. Her friend has been having problems with her boyfriend and it's given her anxiety from thinking too much.

She begins to speak of her problems and vent out every little thing. That night the writer goes back home and then her other friend begins to call her. She cries and tears up to the writer but once she's done she hangs up.

The writer receives a text from her friend complaining about life to her. Then she never responds back.

The writer gets on her laptop and begins to write as the words beautifully appear. She sighs after she finishes. Writing is the best part of her life.

She gives her happiness to others in the morning but at night she puts her sadness into words and when she finishes, she is empty.

Then one day she receives a call by accident. He apologizes but stays on the phone with her. They talk and became close.

Then one day a heavy weight fell on her by surprise. She didn't know how to deal with it and then he calls her. He notices her change of tone and with warm words, she let out her cries.

The next day, he didn't call back or pick up his phone. Then he slowly disappears from her life.

Little Red walk down the path in the forest to her grandmother's home. She came across beautiful flowers and pick a few. When she reaches her grandmother, she hands her the flowers. Little Red's grandmother lay in bed sick but kept a smile and sniff the flowers.

Little Red stayed there for a few days but her grandmother wouldn't wake up one day. After that day, Little Red's world crumbled.

Red walk around town dancing at the town square to earn money. Everything was fine, everyone loved her. She brought joy to them and they did not complain. However, a man with the name Wolf appears. He watches her dance and he growls.

He did not like this dance. He follows Red after the sun has set and finds her living in an orphanage. Wolf watch Red trying to climb up into a window. He stands below her as she struggles. The light in the room suddenly turns on and someone screamed out her name. In surprise, Red loses her grip and she falls down but is caught by Wolf.

"Red?" Wolf question. "Interesting."

Red push Wolf away and quickly ran away. Wolf follows her and asks if she needed a place to stay.

"If I don't go back, they'll chase me to the end of the world," mumble Red. "I must go back and receive my punishment."

Wolf gives Red a warm embrace and a shoulder to cry on. She asks why he is nice to her and why he is like this to her. Wolf only responded with, "Do I need a reason to help someone?"

She returns with him to his home where he protected her from the orphanage. They begin to realize their love for one another. Red has fallen for Wolf. His dark hair and bright eyes, his muscluar body, his fangs, and his smirk has trapped her.

She cannot escape. One day he apologizes for not being able to tell her how much he loves her like he did everyday.

Red did not mind, she loves him and loves everything and every side of him. Oh if only Wolf understood. His ex lover has betrayed him and he forgave her but they broke up. He however, still thinks of her.

Red tries to pull him away from that black hole but she couldn't.

She cried out to Wolf. She cry of her pain when she saw how sad he is. She cries of how he doesn't truly love her. She cries that she is also in pain and want his embrace.

He wipes her tears away. "I am the big, bad wolf. I will never be good," he whispers, "Therefore I am no good to you. You'll find someone who truly loves you and will plant kisses on you until you grow into the flower that you love. You will find someone who's voice is louder than the demons in your head. You will find someone who will understand you."

Red could not believe what she was hearing. "I want you," she whispers. "If he's not you then I don't care at all if I receive unconditional love or not."

Wolf hugs Red without another word but the next morning he is gone. Over and over again he would come home late to sleep then is gone the morning.

Red decided to sneak around and follow Wolf. Ah, how beautiful. A young lady dressed in deep red is in the arms of Wolf. They dance under the moonlight and Wolf sings her a song.

He has never likes Red's dancing. He has not once complimented her soulful voice, but you could tell how in love he is with the lady in the red dress. She is the most beautiful being to have been seen.

They're in love. Red walks up to the two and Wolf notices her. He backs away from the beautiful lady. Red smiles and shakes her head. "I guess I'm not your little riding hood."

Wolf pats her head. "One day you'll find someone to love who will love you just as I did."

Red looks at Wolf's sad eyes when he said did. "No, I will love someone who will keep me happy and loved. I hope you're satisfied (HAMILTON OMG YAS)."

Red runs away and then she stops. She looks back and Wolf is no where to be seen. She begins to break down and then she hears ruffling from behind her and she grin from happiness thinking it's Wolf. No, it's not.

A young hunter is standing behind her, holding a crossbow. He frowns and walks up to her. He asks if she is fine and she responds with yes. He knows she's lying and takes her home. He is alone with her in his home. He asks about her and she quietly responds. She then asks about him.

He is born from a generation of hunters but he does not wish to become one. He loves animals and treat them with kindess. He tells her of how he hates humans. He only ever goes to the forest to help animals caught in traps and wounded animals. She asks why he has help her then and he responds with, "Do I need a reason to help someone?".

Red begins to laugh. A few days have passed by and she has become happier than she has ever been. They were like a newly wed. He would go out and come back home to be greeted by Red with a hug. He would kiss her forehead and they would stare at each other's eyes for forever.

They fought over little things but make up a second later. They were happy. However, as the days pass by one after another, the hunter became more distant. Red became terrified of losing the hunter. He stops staring at her, he stops kissing her, and he stops smiling.

Morning came and after eating breakfast, the hunter leaves to the forest and Red begins to write down a farewell note. " I am sorry I caused you to be like this. I only want to bring happiness but I only bring a plague of sadness. Thanks for the beautiful memories. Good bye."

She leaves the house after cleaning up and making dinner for the hunter to eat when he comes home.

She walks through the town to go back to the orphanage but a ruckus happened. Red walks towards it. There are two men fighting over one beautiful woman. Red watches and enjoy her time. One of the men begin to throw apples from a basket nearby and one flew at Red.

She moves and the apple hits a man behind her. She takes a look and sees Wolf. Wolf smiles at her and she ignores him. She walks away but he follows her. He explains what happened and the truth. "I wasn't in my right mind. I was not well. I promise you I don't love that lady. I broke it off after you left. I missed you...I love you."

"You let me go! Even if you missed me why didn't you come find me?" she ask.

"I was trying to fix myself," Wolf explains. "I wanted to become a better man. I didn't want to hurt you...did you miss me?"

Red explodes in front of Wolf. She yells at him with anger. She begins to cry and he hugs her. She push him away.

An arrow lands and stab the ground just right beside the two.

"Get away from my woman" Red hears the hunter shout.

She begins to blush and ask why the hunter has come for her. She thought he wouldn't come find her.

"I came home early," the hunter started. "To surprise you but looks like I was the one surprised instead."

He shows her the note. "Don't be stupid," the hunter mumbles.

The hunter has always been brutally honest. He's blunt and loyal to his words. He never sugar coated anything. He has a cold blooded heart but to Red and animals he has always been warm.

Red look at the two. " You ate my heart," red tells Wolf then turns to the hunter. "And then you saved me."

In little red riding hood, what happens after she and her grandma was saved by the hunter who killed the wolf?

We will never truly know.

Red begin to walk away. The hunter grabs her hand. "You can't leave me. In this cruel world, only you are different from everyone else."

Red needed to chose. Who is she going to pick? Red smiles at the two. "Farewell."

She walks away.

The hunter glares at Wolf. He walks towards Red but Wolf stops him. The two begin to fight. While they fought, Red has reached a tall, beautiful tree. She climbs the tree and then strips. She is naked with only her red cloak on. She reach a thick branch, and got on it. She begin to dance on this branch until she reached the end.

She then jumps down. She is happy to end this way but in her heart somewhere, she hoped someone would save her.

Her body lay there on the green grass. Animals surrounded her and the birds begin to sing in sorrow. The tree pitied Red and saved her, however, her soul is to become apart of the tree while her body will be perserved in a crystal lake.

When true love appears, she will be able to leave.

Wolf and the hunter searches for Red. They hear a beautiful voice singing and came upon a lovely tree with a beautiful maiden singing. The maiden notices the two and her heart moved. The maiden is Red who is happy to see that Wolf and the hunter have come to look for her.

She runs to the two but is unable to reach them. Her long hair has been tied down to the tree.

"A witch?" asks Wolf.

They find Red's cloack and the hunter aimed his bow and arrow at her. Wolf takes out his dagger and points at her.

They both glare at her. Red is confused. How is suppose to feel? Sad because they have pointed their weapons at her or happy because they care and love her? The arrow flew and hit Red in the heart. She is still alive. The arrow is pushed out. Wolf ran up to her and stabs her with the dagger but the dagger melts into the earth.

The two back away and run off with her red cloak.

"Until my true love is here, I am unable to leave," whisper Red. "I won't be going anywhere then."

The two men begin to tell the villagers and the rumors spread, there is a witch living in the forest and it has become known as the forbidden forest.

Red sits there on the tree singing as loudly but as beautifully as she could so someone would come save her.

As time pass by, no one is able to save her. She then lost her name Red and she forgot about who she is.

While singing she notice a young man coming towards her. His face reminded her of the hunter and his eyes were just like that of Wolf's. Her memories slowly hit her. Then, he went for a touch and she ran away.

He kept coming back to her and then she believed he is the one. She has fallen for him too hard and in her mind, he loves her too. However, at the last minute, just when she is almost freed, he rejects her. (CHAPTER 6)
