Prologue

How could a man be in your mind that won’t come out? I shook my head. “Come on, you need to find shelter for the night. Or you’ll get caught by the Black Nights.” I talked to myself. Without realizing it, I saw a house with a chicken coop. Perfect. Chicken coops were good spots to hide and to stay the night. They're warm and comfy. Maybe there were some eggs too! I sneaked out to the chicken coop. And there it was. Howling started and it didn’t stop. I was scared, because it sounded like a wolf.

The next morning, I woke up because I heard footsteps. Shoot, someone’s coming! The door opened and I could barely hide in time. “Who is there? Hello?” The voice of a young woman. “I’m so sorry. I was cold and hungry and I was stealing your eggs. I’m so sorry.” I gave the eggs back. “Please, keep them. It’s fine! I’m sure Granny will understand. I’m Red. Who are you?”
