Crescent The Beginning

A village that has been frightened by a wolf that takes form as a man he has killed many and taken life's just to feed his lonely sole but one day his human side took over he asked

I have only one request he said, that I obtain a sacrifice in 17 years, one that is Noble and has a kind heart. One who would give up her life as a lady in Order for the village to live in peace that much is all I ask.

Years passed by and the wolf never bothered The Village again but one day he will,that night a beautiful baby girl with blue-black hair and eyes as green as emeralds was born and chosen as the sacrifice for the village they agreed on her 16th birthday we'll send her into the woods with a crimson red cloak on the night of the full moon and the Wolf for finally have his sacrifice

As the years pass on like wind through the air she had grown into a beautiful young lady but she was never told that she was a sacrifice for the village her mother and father agree to her on her 16th birthday but the parents were warned not to or else they will be killed so they did not

Why can't I go outside mother you can not you are something special you know ,I do you tell me every day but I know there is so much more than this I cook and clean all day but never go out to the market with you I have never even been off of the property ,yes I know my dear but I promise you your 16th birthday you will be allowed out of the property . You swear this mother I do, thank you-you are the best I need to go to town I will be back tonight and we will celebrate your birthday early tonight oh thank you, mother, you're welcome.she said as she left for town.

If only she had known what I have to do she walks into the dress shop and ask the lady at the desk if she could see Mary yes she is in tonight let me go get her the lady with fiery red hair said

What brings you here she said as she came from the back do you have the red cloak I ask to be made...I do but why are you here to get it I need to have it tonight but that's too soon the old witch said you're not planning anything are you no but it is her birthday you know and I promise her a gift and that's what I will give her .... the last gift from mom and dad that's what it will be they don't you cry on me said the old hag she is the one to save us all and she does not even know it
As time passed and mother was nowhere to be found I hang out the window and let the sun hit me why must I stay put why can't I go out and do something anything is better than being stuck on this one piece of land I know it all to well I go out the front door and walk around the house but it's all the same the old weathered wood and the rusted nails hide among the tall weeds that hide the unknown I tell myself that one day Cressida YOU WILL BE FREE I yelled at the nothing that surrounded me if only I could leave and never look back I would but I can't I would not even know where to start and I could never leave mother it would break her heart but if only I could be free of this place

But I can't I would I go back into my old wooden home and wait for her to come home
and

I walk back trying to take up time tell I get back home with the small paper bag with her gifted in it when I get there I will have to do something I never wanted to do send her away and into the hands of the wolf man who is as cruel as any wild animal and .....mother your home

How did I get here so fast...I must have walked faster than I meant to is that my birthday gifted she asked I somehow get out a small yes how nice when do I get to open it she said with a big smile how about when your father gets home I am sure he will want to celebrate with us oh thank you, mother, she said as she hugged me and went to her room
Cressida view:

I heard the front door open and close I run to meet them it was addy my mother she looked worried about something but I pushed it out of my mind because she had a paper package in her arms I asked is that my birthday gift she looked at me for a minute and said yes but it was sadder then happy I asked when do I get to open it I said with a big smile she said when your father gets home he would want to celebrate with us I hugged her and thanked her I went up to my room and sat on my bad why was mother so sad I dare say I put her face always have a hint of happy on it now it looks as if she has seen a ghost .....I hope I did not cause it I would not want to make anyone unhappy

Hours later
Father comes home with something in his arms I am completely baffled by what it is but then it pokes its head out from under the cover and it's a small fox father what .....what are you going to do with it I accidentally shot its mother I could not just leave it there so I brought it home to ....finish the job father no you can't please! I can't just leave it out there to die on its own! then I will care for it I tack the small fox from him it's trembling in my hands you're ok now he won't hurt you anymore it looks up at me with deep green eyes wow what eyes you have my dear what kind of fox are you I pull him to my chest and me can fill his little heart beating so fast how about we go and find a safe place for you I move away from my father I look over my shoulder thanks for giving him a chance ....

I walk into my room and find the small paper bag that mother had with her every I put him down next to me on the bed and tear at the paper bag I pull the lovely crimson red cloak up to have a better view of it the little fox ran up to it and started to rub up against it you know you almost match this color perfectly how about I name you crimson he looked up at me with sea green eyes ....you're just so cute how could anyone want to .....never mind that crimson I pulled the clock on and picked crimson up and went downstairs to the den to see the cake and have them sing happy birthday to me but for some reason I feel bad but I push it down deep inside and put a smile on for them I would do anything for them

It's time to go to town now dear and but so soon why now can't we just no the longer we wait it will be harder to leave her your right case we are going to town today get your thinks we leave soon

But can I first find something for crimson to eat who is that dear oh that's the fox I have been caring for dad found him after he um ....but it's ok now I have him to keep me company when you are out anyways do we have anything to feed him look in the cabinet there should be some milk and meat my dear and as for you she said to my father I left the room as I new what was going to happen I was excited for tonight and I didn't want them to make that go away its going to be different I get to leave and see the night for the first time and as if I was a star in the night and I was the one following it to a land so unknow to me it's like a new beginning after

need to talk to you now what were you thinking when you gave her that fox I didn't gave it to her she took it and there was nothing I could do to stop her what did you tell her I ...was going to kill it so that it would not suffer you told her that well not really she just new ...she can't keep it ,it's too late for that I told her she could keep him but how just let it be hunny she needs him and he needs her but
I ...just leave it

I pulled out the milk and and poured it into a bold but he did not know what he was doing and just put his head in the hole bole and made a mass so I went to go and find something that would help I found one of my old bottles and poured it into it I grabbed him and cleaned him up I then wrapped him into his blanket and showed him the bottle he grabbed it and ate like no tomorrow when was the last time you ate I thought he soon finished it and I put him down I put the meat out on the ground and he grabbed it and ran around the room with it falling over his big paw his big fluffy tail hitting him in the face as he rould around on the floor something came to mind what if he has a brother or a sister my Stomach dropped I ran into the kitchen to my parents fighting over something ...dad did you check the den to so see if he had any siblings girl what are you talking about the fox where did you find him at the mother had him when I shout her why oh gods then we need to go back there now what why because he may have siblings and I can't just leave them out there please ....I but we ...need to go to town said mother please I father I said looking at him with the eyes fine let's go I grab my bag and put crimson into it and some things that I might need I leave and find father saddling my horse for me is it really that far no but it's faster to do this ok I jump up onto the horse and pull my hoodie over my head and stare of father right behind I hope that there aren't any more
