A lazy sun slowly made it's way over the thatched rooves in a normally sleepy city known as Swindon.  The night before had been a quiet one,  but with the rising sun a grisly discovery had been made. Grandma Reed,  the leader and Matriarch to the Red Cloaks,  had been found dead in an alley. Rumor spread like wildfire,  the tale of what happened different with every person's tongue, but one fact was always the same: Wolf had been found at the scene of the crime,  blood covering his clothing.<br/><br/>Red Cloaks stalked the streets,  death in their eyes as they searched for the truth. Grandma Reed has been loved by all who knew her and they dearly wanted revenge. One in particular, Alivia Red, yearned to bring justice to her killer.  Fueled by loss and heartache,  there was a coldness in her eyes as she walked the streets. Everywhere she turned there were whispers.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Did you hear about the Grandmother?<br/><br/>I heard Wolf did it.  You know,  the drunk fur trader.<br/><br/>Her throat was ripped clear out.<br/><br/>I heard she was half eaten. <br/><br/>He used an axe and killed the woman in her sleep!<br/><br/>There was a fight in the alleyway!</span><br/><br/>An unpleasant scowl marred Alivia's face as she heard the whispers, causing many who saw her shy away.  The last man she spoke with,  a bartender at the tavern Wolf frequented, told her that Wolf had stumbled out of the establishment near 2 in the morning.  He had spent the night drinking and canoodling the tavern maids. Already Alivia didn't like the man and she hadn't met him yet.<br/><br/>The trail she followed led Alivia out of town and to the edge of the woods.  She had informed her companions that she would be away,  looking for Grandma's killer. Alivia wasn't the only Red Cloak looking, leaving Swindon with a skeleton crew. Alivia's breast rose and fell with a sigh,  her auburn hair shifting as she took one last glance over her shoulder at the city,  before she set herself straight and took her first steps into the forest and toward her revenge.
