Red is jerked from her bed none too gently with a hand firmly over her mouth. She is dragged into the living room struggling until she sees her mother and realizes the man holding her is no other but her father. He drops her roughly into a chair and steps around in front of her.
"You were with him again weren't you?" He growls gripping the back of the chair just past her shoulder. Red shakes her head her eyes frightened. "Girl, don't you lie to me."
"I-II w-wouldn't." her eyes shoot to her mother before landing back on the furious man before her. Her father drops his hand and moves away pacing the room. Red remains seated too frightened to move. A noise outside calls her attention to the window. Red flinches when her father's hand strikes her across the mouth.
"We are going out and if you say anything to hurt the rules, just remember your brother has five more years before he is able to leave this house."
"Your threatening Dunsten?" Her father stops and looks at her from the door.
"Yes girl, I'm threatening Dunsten. So you had better behave while we are out here. Go fetch the girl a pair of shoes." Jason tells Red's mother. She hurries away coming back shortly with Red's boots. Red pulls them on and timidly follows her father out into the yard where a group of townsmen and wolves wait.
