Red slipped out of her house swiftly making sure she didn't wake her grandmother and ventured into the woods. She smelled something, something crisp and cold. It was a sign that autumn was on its way. The leafs were already turning different shades of red and orange and yellow. Sighing she wrapped herself in her hood, and headed to the market place, which her grandma told her not to go.
Reaching the busy market she looked around for some pumpkins to make pumpkin pie, and sighed when she saw two perfect ones and picked them up, paid for them and headed back to her small house. Opening the heavy wood door with a creak she tiptoed to the kitchen and put the pumpkins in a basket next to their oven. She then tiptoed back outside and began to make her way to the water. Reaching the well she got the bucket dangling with two ropes and began to pull on one rope lowering the bucket into the water and pulled it back out, got the bucket and began to walk home when she thought it would be nice to take a walk. She then started to walk down a path which lead to a little pond.

The Hearsman rode threw the air he had lost those that were after him, after all he was a wanted man by many in different kingdoms of course life events had in the end pushed him into such the life as he found himself in. He was now an a assassin for hire he took on most jobs just to make money to live on for food & such, of course some tirgets he would not kill, in some way he tried to have some morals yet not that many would see him ever as having the,. He turned on aathway to lead him more away from people, the only sounds that came from him was the leather of the saddle as it moved with him & his horse, the sound of his weapons as they moved with the movement of the ride & of course the sounds of his horses hooves & that. His horse was an all blck stallion that, was bound to his master like a colt to his mother of course around other people or horse he was good of course if people tried to hurt the horse or his rider he was more to act aggressive with people. As the Horseman moved to fallow another path, he slowed down to a walk taking his time to move as we'll listen to things around him to insure he was not still being followed, some how. And of course the Horseman was not his name, yet it is what people called him now so it was what he got use to answering to, but in the end he knew his real name was Eric something that none knew that where alive any more at none that he knew where still alive.

Red paused, and stood still for a moment allowing her red cloak to blow in the breeze before smelling the crisp air. Wrinkling her nose she smelled a terrible scent and a horse. The terrible scent was a mix of human, rotting, and something else she couldn't describe. She crossed her arms tightly within her cloak and moved in a more fast manner now knowing that there was something else near by. She then heard a sound not far from her behind a bundle of pine trees and said,
"Hello? Is anyone there?"
She allowed her brown eyes to search through the trees and the scent she had smelled earlier grew stronger. Fear began to prickle her spine, no, Red told herself determined, what ever is there I can take it on.

Eric heard Reds words he came to a stop as he listened , as if at first.thinking it was a trap yet he heard nothing to tell hi that so he spoke "I am here". He did not know who spoke yet perhaps he could find a safe place by speaking to the person so from the direction of the sound he slowly approached. Of course he had to be on his guard to not be likely would lead to his death, yet he had been traveling for some time with little sleep, from never being safe & he had not even thought about how he spelled compared to just trying to say alive. When he saw who he thought had spoken he saw it was only a girl in his mind, with something about her he could not place yet for now he would just keep on his toes as he waited to see what she would say or do.

Red heard a faint dark, almost dead voice and breathed in deeply with little fear to show. This thing did not show it's face. Daringly she spoke, "Then if you are here come out. I only bite 7 days a week." She knew this might scare the thing off, but she didn't really care, whatever was standing behind the trees wasn't a friend and that was for sure, she had been in many situations like this, and most ended up with the person threatening her either dead, or running away scared. The fact that she was a giant blood thirsty wolf did seem to scare people away, of course that was understandable.

Eric chuckled with her words she hand some bit indeed as he rode away more from the shadows allowing her to make out his out line "shall I take it you speak to all in such a manor & bit". He was not sure what her answer would be or what actions she would take if by chance she attacked he would have to fight he would be left with no option yet, he was not here to kill even if people might think him such a man he did not kill without reason or at least without being given a reason. Of course he had quite a name as murderer p, killer, beast with no heart & the devils executioner even by some. Yet a very few had seen his action when he saved a life of a child or a woman being beaten by a man. He remained very alert knowing if something happened it would be soon & he could also feel something in the air something that was in many was inhuman if one could say such a thing for their was something in the air that was unlike anything before hand he had ever dealt with.

Red heard his laugh and stiffened, but then when he said that she spoke to everyone like that she snarled, "Well you imagine wrong, I am a decent human." This was some what true, the only thing was that she was also a wolf which meant have of the time she was not decent. Hearing horse steps move closer, she held her ground, but did flinch. Seeing that it didn't come out all the way she said in more an annoyed tone, "You should not cower there, hiding behind bushes and trees, come out or go run away."

With her first words,he simply spoke "my mistake". Of course he still had a feeling that the girl that spoke that he mostly just could make out to some degree was more, something eat at him that she was ended more, not that it was fear more to know to be mindful. With her words of ether hiding or running away, he felt his self feels something of a challenge from her words, he moved out away from the trees & shadow he could hear the leather of his saddle, as well the light sound of metal before he came to a stop once closer he could see Red better, even her cloak that was red, even if he did not know her name "Better?" It was not coma for people to wish to speak with him, for ether people know kind of what looked like yet others it was just the presents he gave of one that could be deadly, of course he just thought it was something like that.anyway since none told him he just had to fill in reasons. "So what is a lady as yourself doing out here at suck a time, if I might ask?" He had nothing in mind to harm her, he just wished to feel in the silents.

Her muscles loosened a bit, seeing how polite he was, then hearing him go further and ask what she was doing out at such a time she responded simply by saying, "I am taking a walk, nothing more, nothing less. But may I ask, what are you doing out here and who are you?" Red waited for a response through narrowed ears and put her hands on her hips, showing no fear. She was beginning to wonder herself why someone would hide behind bushes in the first place, Maybe he was running away from something... Maybe he's a criminal.

He heard her words yet he still watched her not sure what to make of her, yet he could not blame her with her answer even if it was not all true, for it was not something he would know right now. Yet he was not sure how much of her question he could answer, for how good would it say to say you where a hired killer at times & was running from those who would see him dead. Yet in the end if she knew who he was, he would still a chance to get away before he was found or his trail would be found "I only go by the name The Horseman & much like you I am out ridding". With that he waited to see what she would say or do, he was ready to make a run for it if he had to it was not a great feeling, yet it was the life he had to be able to eat & such with in this world that could be hard to live in depending on who you where.

Red heard his name and her eyes flashed with alarm, she has been speaking with a murderer! "And what brings such a man like yourself here, running away from the guards I suppose." She looked into his eyes with narrowed slits showing him that she knew who he was and was ready at any moment to call for the guards, not like she would need them anyways she would gladly kill him herself. Casually she began to take off her hood, to transform into her wolf form, she did not care for this mans story, she only cared for this mans death, "Now then, how do you like your human, cooked, or rare?" Her eyes flashed to blood red and she began to grow fangs slowly, soon she would be a giant wolf.

He could see she knew of him, of corse she changed quickly after it with her words he was sure he would not get the chance to really answer he normal did not "I do not think my words will matter to you, for looks like you are not in the mode to listen". With her last words he felt a sting knowing his crimes where great in many's eyes of corse many he had killed where those that killed children, women & such like them, of course none really knew that or ever would. As he saw her fangs he now know what it was, the danger he had felt yet it was something he had yet to deal with until now it looked like. His horse reared, as Red started to change & he had not thought of a full moon being out he was unsure a weapon that would work for sure other than hearing story's of what to use. He started to think, quick on if running would help for he was sure she as a wolf could out run him, if the weapons he had did not work he was ether dead or worse. He reached for the handle of the sword as he spoke "I do not wish to harm you". He might fear the story's he heard of her kind yet would, face the face to face for he knew to fun to turn his back on a wolf was sure to mean his death.

Red was an entire wolf now by her ears perked as she heard him speak, he sounded as if he did not want to harm her, more like he had regret and darkness in his soul, she then closed her wild eyes and crawled under her red cloak only to come back up as human. Wrapping the hood around her she shrugged her shoulders and said, "Alright I'm listening, what's your story Headless." She had just figured out that she would call him headless, because she didn't feel like announcing his whole name, mostly because it was too long. Seeing him grasping a sword in her hand she rolled her eyes softly, "There's no need for that, that twig won't do a thing to me, anyways I'm calm now."

He allowed his hand to move off his sword as he watched her & listened to her yet even with her words what could he say "It might not do anything to you but, that does not mean if it would of come to it I would of just rolled over". He still was not sure what he could say with her question "I am not sure what can be said". He was not sure what to say for he did not see this coming he expected a fight that would end in one of there deaths in the end. So he waited to see what she would say, for it might give him a chance to think on what to say of what he could speak of at least just parts of it.

Red held her head high and nodded curtly, "Well then Headless, who are you running from this time? Guards I suppose? Kill another innocent?" She did not agree with his ways, but she had killed so many in the past that she most likely killed more than he could in a life time, but that was the past, now she controlled who she was and had to accept it.
A question struck her, "Why do you work for Regina? Don't you know that she's heartless?"
