Little Red put her bright red cape over her clothes and opened the door to head outside. She sighed heavily as the door slammed behind her. Once again she was sent to her grandmother's to make her dinner. Why couldn't her mom do it? Or her other siblings? No, it was always her. She was the one who was elected to take care of the old woman. Plus she hated the woods! There were animals and dirt and there could be people out there. Whenever she walked out into the woods she remembered every horror movie she had ever seen.
It was already getting dark out so Little Red started walking a little faster. She hummed softly to herself as she walked thinking about all the work she had to get done when she got back home. Her mom considered her an adult now because her 18th birthday just passed but she still had schoolwork to do. She wanted to get out of school and out of this backwoods town.
Little Red came to a fork in the road and paused. She always took the right path but she heard the left path was much quicker.
Little Red bit her full bottom lip, nibbling on it as she tried to decide what to do. Take the right path and get home late, or take the left, unknown path and be home early? She finally decided after a few minutes to go left. She had way too much to get done to waste any time today.
She started down the new path. It seemed much darker then the path she normally walked. After ten or so minutes she decided that she should have taken the same path as before. It was so much darker this way and she could hardly see where the small path was. Several times she had to stop and look around for the path. She was definitely lost, she decided. Little Red began to become scared, there was so much around her she couldn't see. It was almost completely dark now, and the sky above her was rapidly darkening with storm clouds.
Then all of a sudden a little cabin came into view. Someone was home because smoke was slowly trailing out of the brick chimney.
"Oh!" Little Red sighed in relief walking fast towards the shelter, the rain beginning to come down so hard the path was flooding under her feet. The rain soaked her straight through her red cape to her dress beneath. She reached the door and knocked hard three times, rain running down her body. She breathed a sigh of relief when she heard heavy footsteps coming towards the door.
The door opened a few moments after her knock. A large man pulled the door open at her knock and grunted, "What?"
"Oh, sir I lost my way and it has started pouring, may I please come in until it slows down?" Little Red pleaded. She looked the man over and came to the conclusion he was a woodsman. He had that rough and muscular look at least. He would know the direction to point her to get back home. If he would only help her...
"Huh? No-" His voice dropped off when she pushed her hood back and revealed her silky black hair and wide green eyes. His own eyes dropped to her plump red lips and the look in his eyes changed. "Oh, of course, please come in." He motioned her through the doorway, out of the pouring rain.
She walked into the small cabin and he looked out into the night to see if anyone else was there, then shut the door and locked it. "What are you doing out here all by yourself, little girl?" He crossed his massive arms and stood staring at her. He could make out the curvy shape of her body as the cotton cape clung wetly to her figure. He held his hand out for the cape, wanting to see more.
"I'm not a little girl, sir, and I was trying to reach my grandmothers house. I took the wrong turn and I became lost." Little Red untied her cape and shrugged it off, eager to be out of the soaking wet cloth.
The man came over and took the cape throwing it over an old chair to dry by the fire. He turned back to the young woman and saw that her dress was a thin white cotton and her could see right through it to her bra and panties.
"Well, I'm glad you found my little cabin here. But I'm no where near any roads or houses. You are very lost indeed." He came closer and she backed up intimidated by his large frame and his stare. He kept going until she was backed almost into a corner.
He placed both of his hands on either side of her head, caging her in.
Little Red stumbled against the hard wall and looked up at him, green eyes wide, saying, "What long legs you have. You are so much taller then I."
"All the better to run with, my dear." He said grinning, bright white teeth flashing. He brought his hand up to touch her cheek.
"What big teeth you have." Little Red shivered, taking in his evil smile.
"All the better to bite with, my dear." he replied bringing his hand up to brush her hair away and then nip at her neck
"Oh...um. What big hands you have."
