Hansel and Gretel reveled in their status as the beloved favorites. Their laughter echoed through the streets and their smiles brought warmth to the coldest days. But, lurking in the shadows, a whisper of unease began to grow as Red, the mysterious boy from the woods, moved into their quaint village. Red was different; he wore a cloak that seemed to absorb the light around him, his eyes glimmering with an otherworldly glint. The townsfolk were enchanted by him, drawn to his wild tales and dark charm. As his popularity surged, Hansel and Gretel felt their hold on the town slipping. They were not ready to lose their cherished place in the hearts of the villagers. 


One moonless night, they devised a plan. They followed Red home, creeping silently through the forest, their hearts racing with a mix of excitement and dread. His house, hidden among the trees, loomed before them like a dark promise. They could hear the crackling of a fire inside, the flickering shadows dancing against the windows. Under the cover of darkness, they slipped inside, flames licking the walls as they set the house ablaze. The heat surged around them, and they could hear Red’s panicked screams as flames engulfed him. But the joy of their victory quickly turned into icy dread when they realized that the shadows had shifted. With their hearts pounding, they quickly made their escape, returning to the town with a chilling tale. 


They spun a wicked story, claiming that Red was an evil witch who had tried to cook and eat them. The village believed them, and soon, the only memory of Red faded into the dark corners of the woods. Hansel and Gretel wore their smiles too wide as the townsfolk celebrated their bravery and victory. And as they basked in their glory, they still kept their eyes open for anyone who tried to take their spotlight.
