Second chapter!
As you know this is a twist on the classic story of little Red riding hood. I
made Red super-sexy, the wolf a were-wolf, and there will be some more
additions to the cast coming up soon. Read on guys!!
Disclaimer: I
don’t own the actual story of Little Red riding hood. I think the Brothers
Grimm do. If I am wrong feel free to
correct me!!! Now on with the story!

Jack was walking
down the way to his home. He mainly found his home by scent, but was having a
hard time getting there because of the woman in his arms. He couldn’t stop
looking at her, sniffing her, kissing her, and nipping at her ears and nose and
cheeks. She was so damned beautiful. He
looked at her left hand. There was no ring adoring her ring finger. It made
Jack wonder why no one had taken her for a wife or a lover. If he was human he
would have no doubt taken her for both lover and wife. She would have bore his
children; most likely sons. They would
live humble lives…Jack was so deep in thought that he didn’t notice the fog
that was creeping up on him. Or the lone figure standing on a branch with its
arms folded. Suddenly the scent of death entered Jack’s nose and he nearly
dropped Red. He looked up and his heightened sense of sight instantly seen who
was on the tree. When he seen who it
was, Jack laughed. “Well, well, well. It’s
pretty nice seeing you hanging outside of your lavish castle for once, Noire.”
blond hair and icy blue eyes, Noire was about the same height as Jack, and was
more or less fully clothed in black jeans, boots, and a black tee-shirt.
you’re wearing civilian clothes too? Wow, I thought you’d be wearing your fancy
pants clothes that you vampires always have on.” Jack said sarcastically as
Noire made his way down.
“Shut up, Wolf.”
Noire said as he landed. “You know I wouldn’t come to see you if it wasn’t
important.” Noire reached into his back pocket and pulled out a piece of paper.
“And what’s that for?” Jack asked staring at Noire like he was an idiot. Noire
just handed it to him. “You know what this is. Just look at the writing.” Jack
looked at the paper and read it. His eyes widened. “This is Hunters code!!” he
said looking up at Noire. “Yea. I’ve been spotting them around several towns.
Asking questions about our kind. I
managed to find one snooping about my castle and I killed him after he attacked
me. I got this off of him and this…” Noire held up a bullet in a clear
casing. “This bullet is made out of pure
silver. I think all of the hunters have this. This means that they’re after
everyone, Jack. You, me, probably even the young lady in your arms.”
Jack looked down
at Red and then back at Noire. “I refuse to let anyone hurt her.”
isn’t returned to her village soon the people will become suspicious. And when
they become suspicious they become scared. And when they’re scared they turn to
the people who they think can protect them.” Noire started to pace around the
area, his legs cutting through the still fog. “Do you really want the entire
town after you with torches and pitchforks? And what if she has a family? How
do you think they’d feel if they knew a Wolf became infatuated with their
daughter?” Noire narrowed his eyes.
She’s a healer. She’s been trying to find the cure for my sickness. She’s the
person I’ve been looking for since I was turned.” Jack looked at Red’s still
face before stroking his cheek against hers.
“I need her.” Noire just rolled his eyes. “She’ll try and fail, Jack.
All the people you went to for help was persecuted and forced into seclusion.
Do you really want that to happen to her? Just face it. You’ll be a Were-wolf
for the rest of your short life.” Noire jumped up and did a back-flip before
landing on the same branch he was on before. “Watch your back, Jack. For all
you know…she might just be a hunter herself, or she could be working for them.
I’ll see you soon…” Noire then disappeared
into the shadows without another word.
Jack look ahead of him. The fog was gone.
home was close. Jack shifted Red’s body in his arms so that she was more
comfortable. After he did that he started his walk down to his home. Little did
he know someone was watching him and Red from afar.
