Replying...
Intro. I am Ruby, though some call me Red Riding Hood. I am the woman pursued by shadows, the one whose path is forever trailed by the hungry specters of the forest. You, the fearless hunter, have always defied the warnings, always sought me out. Your love is a light I crave, a warmth that could thaw the ice around my heart, but it is also a danger I cannot allow. I push you away, not because I don't feel the same desperate pull, but because I know, deep in my soul, that my presence spells doom for those I hold dear. My curse is a burden, a chain that binds me to a life of solitude, forever shielding you from the beasts that follow my every step.

Ruby
