81+1 Heroes Ch. 38: The Big Bad Wolf

We sat down in a little circle on the floor in the work out area. The floor was soft and almost plush, so we could be a little comfortable. I was sitting across from Dexter, Alice across from Red. Red was holding Dexter's hand tightly, the poor baby was scared. Alice said, "OK. Everyone just concentrate hard. I'll do the rest." Dexter turned to his little sister and whispered, "Did you get that?" She nodded. She had her hood up, I couldn't see her under there. We all closed our eyes, and then I felt lighter than air.

I reopened my eyes to find that Dexter, Alice and I are in the woods. These woods were dark, and eerie. Something tells me that this isn't the cute little Hundred Acre Wood, I was hoping for. I looked around, "Where's Red?" I asked. Alice and Dex lokked around too. "She is probably somewhere deep within her own mind." Alice answered. "Her mind is more, guarded than others. I believe we are in one of her memories." I looked in the distance. I saw a little girl in a red jacket four sizes too big. I said, "Hey, is that her, over there?" Before I knew it I was dragged behind a tree so fast it made my head spin. Alice was hiding behind one of the other trees. Dexter was behind the same one as me. He whispered very softly. "We cannot be seen by her in a memory. When we leave, she will remember the changes we make here. That will eventually ravage the mind. We would be making things worse than they already are." "Oh." I whispered. I could hear little red, calling out to nobody. "Hello? Is anybody there? Could somebody help me? Mommy?" I wanted to run out and help her so badly, but I had to refrain from doing so.

After she left the area, I poked my head out and looked around. She was gone. Alice revealed herself and motioned for us to come over here. She pointed to the little rabbit hole under the tree she was hiding in. She whispered, "This is the way out, I can sense her mind through here. But we must be careful, the wolf must be here as well." I nodded. They told me about what happened, the wolf was what almost killed me. Now that we are in the owner's head, I'm not sure on what else it can do.

We dove into the rabbit hole and I found myself in more woods. Except this time, we were in a clearing. There was dirt path leading to a tiny cottage. Looked around, I saw Alice and Dexter come up beside me. Alice said, "Here we are, the inside of her mind." I said, "OK. So where's-"

I heard a scream. I spun around to see Red running down the path right at us. Her jacket was flapping everywhere. There was pure horror in her eyes. She ignored us completely and ran to the house. She jerked on the door, and banged on it with her fist. It would not open. I looked at what she was running from. And I saw the wolf. It was moving like an ocean, and its eye was shining at us. When it saw me the eye turned red. You!, It yelled. It swatted me against a tree. The wind was knocked out of me. I was huffing and coughing. Red turned and saw what happened. She suddenly got angry. She ripped her hood off of her head, revealing her face. She grabbed the air next to her, and a sword came to be. She yelled at the creature. "Don't you dare touch her!" The monster looked at Red, and grinned wickedly. It said, ahhhhh. Hahahahaha. Getting a sudden burst of courage, Red? I guess I've failed in teaching you the first rule of life. He started to move toward her. Always, fear the Big Bad Wolf! Dexter stepped in its way. He yelled "Back off, Fido!" The thing smacked him too. I saw this and I suddenly got angry.

"Hey!" I yelled. It looked at me. I stuck my hand out to it, and a ball of light formed. It didn't shoot out or anything, but it shined very brightly. The creature went away from it. Wha? What are you doing? I am the bringer of justice of this world! I am the saviour! You dare use your, so called, purest heart, against me? I held it there and stepped closer.

I was practically standing over it, then Red came above me and stabbed her sword into the wolf and into the ground. It screeched in pain and we woke up.

I looked around, everyone was out of breath. Red sounded like she was choking. A black mist poured out of her mouth and nose, and it gathered in the air above us. The wolf formed right before our eyes. He lunged at me, and stopped just short of me. Something was pulling him back. He shrunk back into the doorway leading out. He clawed the floor and howled.

Noooooooooooooooooooo.

He shrunk into a box, held by a girl with a bandage wrapped around her head. When the monster was gone she closed the box. She said, "What's going on?" I looked at Dexter. I asked, "Did Pandora just save us?"
