Red Riding Hood (My Version)

Chapter 12

When Suzanne arrived at the cottage, she saw that the door was open. Walking silently and carefully, she inspected the house to see if anything was taken, and nothing was. In fact, she didn't notice much change, that is, until she saw a figure breathing out of the corner of her eye. Quickly turning around, she saw a person laying in the bed. A woman. As Suzanne approached her, she saw that the woman had long, dark brown hair that flowed out over the pillow in large waves a few shades darker than the soft, tan skin it covered partially. She walked around the bed to the side that the woman was facing, studying her face. She looked so peaceful laying there, the soft moonlight illuminating her near-angelic features. As Suzanne gently brushed a wisp of ebony hair out of the girl's face, one of her eyes opened softly, then the other. There was a brief moment of confusion before both of their eyes widened in shock and the intruder jumped out of bed. Suzanne got one last brief look at the girl before she ran out of the house, taking the blanket on the bed with her. As the ran past her, Suzanne noticed a scar on her thigh, about the size of an arrowhead.
