'Amu- Chan! I need you to take this food down to Grandmother's house. And make sure you wear new cloak. Grandma will love to see it on you." instructed Amu's mother Midori. Amu sighed, she hated her new cloak. It was red, along with most of her Gothic clothing. She grabbed the basket of food from the kitchen table, and got her crimson cloak from the hook where it hung.
She walked out the wooden door of their cabin, which bordered the woods. Amu's grandmother lived by herself on the other side of the forest. It was Amu's job to deliver her food as an excuse not to hunt down all the animals in the forest. Amu loved her grandmother, but as her grandmother said" I'm too old to be pampered by children! You can't expect me to stay in bed and knit doilies all day!'
You're probably wondering about the heroine. Well, I'm the narrator and I can do what I want. Don't interrupt me. As I was saying, before being rudely interrupted…Amu was the kind of girl who was afraid to be herself. She wanted to be an honest, kind, and level-headed girl, one who could shine with her true colors. But she was also very afraid of what others thought. So she developed a façade that made her seem indifferent. Kids at school had dubbed her 'Cool n' Spicy." All the kids looked up to Amu. This frustrated her to no extent. "How could they like a cold stunt double to the real one behind the curtains?" she always thought.
Okay, back to Amu. She was walking down the path, worrying about others as usual, when she saw a deer. The deer was grazing in the grass along the path. It was about 10 feet from her, and Amu was astounded. She had never been so close to a deer before. There weren't many left in the woods, to over-hunting.
Slowly she stepped towards it, hoping to be able to touch. However, fate wouldn't have it. The wind shifted direction, and now the deer could smell her. It looked up, saw her, and took off as if the forest had caught fire. Amu wanted to have a closer look at it, so she dashed off the path, with her red cloak billowing behind her. The deer nimbly outran her, but Amu still gave a hot pursuit.
However, the deer triumphed and escaped to eat another day. Unfortunately for Amu, she was very lost. She had wandered off the path, a big no-no. She tried too catch her breath. When she was done, she looked around, but found herself far from the familiar. She gulped and headed off in a random direction.
After a few moments of ambling along, she bumped into a blue clad figure. Our favorite cat-boy said' Yo, Strawberry, you lost?'
