Once upon a time, a little girl garbed in yellow wandered into the forest during the dark of night. Like a shooting star did she dart along the path, basket in hand. She thought it would be safer to travel at night, as during the day there could be thieves about looking for easy targets. Though another danger comes when the sun sets. Beneath the moonlight does a, large, jagged silhouette block path. It snarled at her presence and she froze.
 
"What small eyes you have, little star."
 
Her eyes twinkle; Fear glinting in her pale hued irises. The jagged silhouette distorts in the wind, like dur furling with its blow. She says nothing.
 
"What small hands you have, little girl."
 
She grips her basket tightly, silent as she's spoken at.
 
"Little star, shining in the sky all alone. Has your light already gone out?"
 
The silhouette enlarges, easing close with a pounding step to the ground. From its ajar maw thick saliva trickles down to the forest floors.

Unnecessary.
Why is the girl wearing a hood that will make her a target?
Where is she going?
For what purpose does this serve?
Hide in colors suited for the environment.
