"Oh it just gets so awfully cold out here." {Red glances up. (if: $friend1 is true)[$goblin barks at the figure. Red holds $goblin back.]} Grandma's face start to distort and dissolve. A familiar laughter could be heard. <img src='https://i.imgur.com/muZ6qxT.jpg' height=300 width=400> Red pulls out $their gun and aims at the figure infront, that $they used to call 'Grandma' yesterday. [[Pull the trigger.]] [[make a break for it.]] <audio src = 'https://carterassets.yolasite.com/resources/New%20Recording%209%20edited.mp3' autoplay>

Red hesitated but $they proceeded to shoot it. One in the stomach, another on the head, and one last on the head. To $their surprise, blood spills out of it. The smoke from the figure fades and a scream could be heard, revealing the old woman that Red knew. "no- no no no no." Red looked at the pool of blood and the dead body on the floor, it looked familiar. "Not- not again?" Red's head starts to hurt. [["Grandma?"->"I-"]] (set: $trigger to true)

Red's hands freeze at the thought of putting a bullet through Grandma's distorted face. Although part of $them knew it wasn't grandma, $they couldn't do it. {(if: $friend1 is true)["$goblin we gotta make a break for it." $goblin immediately followed Red's instruction.] (else:)[]} Red rushes to the door only for $them to find out it's locked. [[face the figure.]] [[break the window.]]

"''Here here, Little Red''" <img src='https://i.imgur.com/bLwZ4ub.png' height=300 width=420> Red aims at the figure right infront them. Breathing in and breathing out. "Who are you?" Red asks. "''Who am I? We've met before.''" The dark figure chuckles. "''Don't you remember, Little Red?''" [[Pull the trigger.]]

Red instead shoots the window and runs back home. Red soon then reached $their house. It feels, cold and empty. Exactly how Grandma's house felt. [[Enter.]]

Grandma doesn't respond. Suddenly Red's head fills with pain. The type of pain that makes you scream and cry. But it ends as quick as it happens. Red looks at the floor again and realises nothing is there. {(if: $friend1 is true)[$goblin walks over to Red and rubs $their head on $their leg.] (else:)[]} Red tries to calm down and regain their composure. [[look around the house->look around.]] [[check outside.]] (set: $lookaround to false, $checkout to false)

Red looks at the bed and in the closet to see any signs of what actually happened in this very house. {(if: $friend1 is true)["Nothing that happened earlier seemed real now.

Red heads down to the basement. The basement is foggy and dark.

<img src='https://i.imgur.com/BagLK2a.png' height=300 width=420> Red enters the house and everything is dead silent, no one's home. Red felt that maybe $their mother was also taken by the wolf-man, or killed. Red figured, maybe $their dad left something of use in $their house for encounters with the wolf-man.

Red removes the cushion inside the box in hopes of finding any kind of secret. But to $their disappointment, there's only a picture of $their family smiling. [[Go to mother's room.->Check your mother's room.]]

As Red took the bullets, a note falls down. (if: $friend1 is true)[$goblin sniffs the paper.] *note showing instructions on how to summon a wolf-man* "He wrote this note, meaning he encountered the wolf-man more than once and never told me." Red felt sort of betrayed, but there's no use in getting pressed over a dead man. [[Summon the wolf man.]]

Red carefully following the instructions, grips onto Hunter, which is loaded with silver bullets. Red begins to fall asleep. (if: $friend1 is true)[$goblin lays down next to them.] [[...->save5]]

Red wakes up to smoke filling in the room, making it hard to breathe. "''Hello, Little Red.''" A figure of smoke stands infront of Red's bed. Red bolts up and points the gun at the wolf. (if: $friend1 is true)[$goblin stands infront of Red to defend them.] [[Cock the gun.]]

(link:"Save game")[ (if:(save-game:"Slot 1"))[Game saved!] (else: )[Sorry, I couldn't save your game.]] [[continue->wolf1]]

"''Are you sure you want to do that, Little Red?''" The wolf taunted. "Yeah I do." Red kept the gun steady at the wolf. "''Do you atleast want to know why your father decided he wanted to summon me?''" The wolf laughs, "''Or atleast to find out where your mother went?''" The question piqued Red's interest. (if: $friend1 is true)[$goblin starts barking. "''It seems like your little friend there is eager to find out about it too.''"] [[hear the wolf out.]] [[shoot.]]

"Alright sure, but you're not leaving my gun's sight." Red still aiming at the wolf, exclaimed. "''Let's just say, I grant wishes.''" The wolf snickered. [[wishes?]]

"I don't have time for all your babbling." Red shot a single bullet through the wolf. <img src='https://i.imgur.com/dj82vpS.png' height=300 width=420> Blood spills out of the wolf, but the blood doesn't look like normal blood. The liquid is thin and pure black, as if, it's swallowing you. (text-style: "rumble")["''I guess, fool me twice, shame on me.''"] The wolf starts to crumble and it's words are unstable. [["There's a reason why my name is Red."]] <audio src = "https://carterassets.yolasite.com/resources/hunter%20sound%20edited.mp3" autoplay>

"What do you mean by that?" Red loosen their grip on the gun abit. "''It is what it is Red.''" [["Did you ever grant my dad his wish?"]]

"''Ofcourse I did. He's quite happy now.''" The wolf grins at Red. [["Where is he?"]]

"''With your mother and grandmother, in a place much more special than here.''" [["Can I see him?"]] [[He's lying.->shoot.]]

Red Riding Hood killed the wolf. It feels empty in a way. $They knew killing the wolf wouldn't bring anyone back, $their dad, $their mom, $their grandma. Somehow, Red felt that maybe it would've been better if $they just let the nightmare continue on, atleast at one point, there a was a brief feeling of home.

"''Your wish is my command''" The wolf turns into a door. [[open it.]]

Red opens the door and it shows a wonderful scenery of a man and a woman. Red's mom and dad. The pair are both looking at inviting $them to come over. "''Come on in, don't be shy.''" [[Join them.]] [["Is it real?"]]

Red Riding Hood gives into the wolf's manipulation and steps inside the door, only for everything to crumble and fade into darkness. <img src= 'https://i.imgur.com/Yar5cUo.png' height=300 width=420> There's nothing but silence. It's cold and numbing. It's lonely. It's like you're swimming in the void with no one there to save you. Maybe it would have been better if you didn't believe in it. But how could you not? When something that you've wanted to feel again was right there. Now it's just Red, all by $themselves.
