At last, I ended up with writing this short story.
Haha,, It's a little bit childish. But since it's the first story that I ever wrote, feeling want to post it in my blog.
So, here is it.
Lady in Red – by Wendy Tong J
The little red riding hood, Rosalinda, had
grown up, she is still living with her grandma. She lives in an old house in a countryside
which is located at up of the hill with her grandma. Around the hill, there’re
full of bushes. Time past, she had grown into a mature girl. In her
countryside also lives a handsome guy with his father who is a hunter. They two
live in the countryside for 16 years but they never met. Until one day..
“Jackson, we have been hunting
together for such a long time. Do you learn any hunting skills from me?"
The hunter said to his son.
"Of course I did, Dad. I
had learned a lot of hunting skills and techniques from you. I could do so if
you assigned me to go hunting by myself! I mean, ALONE." Jackson said
to his father with a smile on his face.
"Well, seem you’re
very self-confidence, now I’m giving you a test. Before the sun goes
down, as long as you succeed to capture a live tiger back, what else, I
have to admit your ability. “Said by the hunter.
"Okay, no problem.
I’ll prove to you that I can do it!" Jackson seem very confident to
himself.
After handing
the hunting tools to Jackson, Jackson’ dad went down of the hill.
Jackson began hunting in the
forest.
On the
other hand, Rosalinda was enjoying seeing the roses that have been cultivated
by her in her housing estates.
"Oh, such a beautiful rose
that I have ever seen! " Rosalinda was very glad her rose plant was
growing well.
Out of the
blue,
"Be careful!" a hand
pushed her from her back to the ground. She was unconscious after her head had hit
the floor.
"Miss, are you okay? Wake
up please!" Jackson felt guilty and helpless seeing Rosalinda lying on the
floor staying unconscious.
In Rosalinda’s dream, she
could hear that someone was keep calling for her.
She slowly opened her eyes, and saw a
handsome guy in front of her. There was a dead tiger beside her too.
"Oh gosh, what was happening?"
Rosalinda thought. Curiosity filled her heart.
"Miss, I am so sorry. I saw the tiger was
going to attack you just now, I am forced to push you from danger, I never
mean to hurt you. I’m really sorry. " Jackson said to Rosalinda,
feeling guilty.
"It’s okay, I’m alright."
Rosalinda smiled to Jackson.
It was the day how Rosalinda and Jackson have
been to each other, falling in love with each other. After that, Jackson
always went up to the hill just want to see Rosalinda. Well, dating with her.
Grandma started feeling
something wrong.
“Something sure is happening to
Rosalinda, she never been so happy before. No matter what, I have to figure it
out. I never allow that thing to HAPPEN. ” Grandma thought in her heart.
“Rosalinda, what’s up? You are
different recently. What is happening?” Grandma asked Rosalinda, she was eager
to listen to her granddaughter answer.
“Grandma, I’m been dating with a
guy named Jackson. He’s a hunter and he’s very nice to me. “Rosalinda can’t
hide her happy feeling.
“Rosalinda, I’m not agreeing. I have something serious to tell you. “
“What is it? Grandma, I’m 16
years old. I think I’m big enough to date a guy.” Rosalinda seemed unhappy with
her grandma respond.
“You said that guy who is
currently dating with you named Jackson, right?” Grandma asked Rosalinda with a
strict face.
“Yea, his father is a hunter.”
Rosalinda replied.
“Listen to me, Ros. You are not
allowed to date with that guy. You can’t.”
“Why? He’s a nice guy. I was
falling in love with him. You have no right to call me to leave him!” Rosalinda
was very furious.
“Rosalinda! Listen to me! I’m
sorry to tell you this but there’s no choice, you have to know it. Jackson is a
werewolf, he will hurt you. “Grandma replied.
“Grandma, what werewolf? Are you
kidding me? What are you talking about?” Rosalinda had no idea what her grandma
was talking about, she thought that her grandma was totally lost out of her
mind.
“I’m telling you the truth, as
you know I’m a witch. I could see whether a person is really a human being or
other creatures. You have to believe me, he’s a werewolf. You guys will never
able getting together.” Grandma said.
Hot tears streamed down from Rosalinda eyes,
she can’t accept the truth. It’s so cruel to her.
That night, grandma was not around. She went to
town to buy some things. Before she left, she warned Rosalinda not to go
outside at night and remember to put on the red hood all the time. Rosalinda
was very curious. It’s been 16 years. Every year there’s always the same day
which is full-moon day that she was not allowed to go outside and always has to
put on the red hood. She has no idea what was it for, she just do whatever her
grandma call her to do, she did not dare to ask.
Jackson came to see her. At the beginning, she refused to see him.
“Ros, why do you refuse to see me? Am I did
something wrong? I would apologize to all of my mistakes!” Jackson shouted
outside of her house.
Eventually, she came out to see him. She told
everything that her grandma told her.
“What’re you talking about, Ros? I’m a
werewolf? I never transform into a wolf before. Stop kidding me please. “Jackson
did not believe Rosalinda saying.
“It’s true. My grandma is a witch. She know
everything about werewolf, she said she could see a werewolf shadow behind you.
“Rosalinda’s face crumpled up when she said to Jackson. She burst into tears.
“What? This is so crazy!” Jackson cried.
Two of them keep crying for their fate. They
have no choice but to be separated. They hugged each other and keep crying and
crying, Rosalinda had forgotten her grandma warning.
It was full-moon.
“Ah!!!!! My body is aching!” Pain seared
through her, unlike anything she’d ever known.
“Ros, are you okay? What’s happening??” Jackson
cried out.
After that, Rosalinda had no idea what she did.
She had killed Jackson.
“I’m a werewolf!! I’m the one who is the real
werewolf!! Why?? I have killed the one I love!! Why??!! Why did grandma lie to
me???” Rosalinda yelled at the sky.
At the same time, grandma had come back home,
she saw the scene that she never ever want to see in her life. The secret is
revealed.
Rosalinda was totally lost her mind. She yelled
at her grandma furiously, asking her for the truth.
The truth is, Rosalinda is not a werewolf, and
she is a hybrid. Her parents are vampire and werewolf. Her dad is the werewolf
where her mum is the vampire. Her parents have to die as they break the rule,
vampires will never fall in love with werewolf. Before they die, they left
their baby, Rosalinda to the witch grandma. They warned grandma never allow
Rosalinda to transform into hybrid, the only solution to prevent her to transform
is to ensure her wearing a red hood during full-moon night. If grandma fail to
do so, she has to die too.
After grandma telling Rosalinda the truth,
blood splitting out of her mouth. Grandma had died as she failed to prevent
Rosalinda from transforming into hybrid. Rosalinda cannot accept the cruel
truth. Her heart is full of hatred and hates, she had changed. She left the
countryside without anyone knows.
Years have flown in the twinkling of an eye,
there’re rumors that a lady which is in red killed anybody that she met, with a
red hood on her head.
