Once upon a time…

Red's POV

The woods were dark…even though it was midday the forest was almost as pitch black as night with only the few tiny strings of sunlight that seemed to slither through thick shroud of leaves and tree branches.

The pathway was rocky and littered with pinecones and fallen leaves-the wind held a certain chill in it that made goosebumps crop upward along my forearms and sent a shiver down my spine;the faint ghost of winter could be felt in the air and a lingering presence seemed to haunt the fastly darkening woods.

*Woosh*

I briefly feel a faint chill in between my legs-I continued onward with slightly more brisk pace ;the young girl semi-unaware of a mysterious figure looming in the shadows of the surrounding woods.

Sometime later…

The cool air mid summer breeze felt good as it softly brushed against my skin;small strips of sunlight began to seep through the now lesser branches of the clearing trees.

"Redella Hood?"a deep and intimidating voice boomed behind the young girl.

Redella-or simply 'Red'friends called her quickly turned around completely upon instantly recognizing the slightly grough sounding voice.

I humphed as I sternly made eye contact with a tall and very muscular looking young man that appeared to be in his late teens to mid twenties at least; he was dressed the unmistakable uniform of the Hunters-the peacekeepers of Fablewood.

"It's 'wolf' actually…has been for about…four years by now ?"I state somewhat cheekily.

The older man growled at me with his lips parting to reveal large wolf like k-9 teeth at me with an angry look in his golden eyes.

"Oh come on Bigby…you know that I'm only teasing !" I said with a faint grin tracing her lips.

My husband rolled his unusually colored golden yellow sclera eyes."…it's fine…I just wanted to check up on you Red before continuing On with my patrol!"Bigby said moving closer to the diminutive young woman that wore a beautiful deep crimson colored cloak and hood that just barely avoided covering her slender and slightly pinkish colored legs-the rest of her attire was barely worth mentioning;her rather full chest sneakily peaked out of the top of her blouse,her long white long socks covered her legs all the way to the mid upper thighs.

I quickly gave quick wink to the wolf like beastsman before heading off towards the two's home-a rather large cottage near the eastern heart of the forest.
