It was the lilting sound of her voice that brightened the old autumn forest as she sang along to the early morning music. Soon the rhythmic tap of her patent leather shoes could be heard skipping down the old, narrow path. All the animals waited in expectation till they could see the beautiful girl flowing along, enveloped by a shiny red cloak and carrying a picket basket. It was new cloak, it's crimson brilliance shimmering in the slanting rays of the sun, extending down to her knees which revealed themselves at each step with a flash of a succulent calf and a delicate ankle. The draping curves of fabric led up to a cowl that framed her angelic face. The sanguine hood collected her long, dark hair encircling her flushed features, cheeks slapped red by the pace of her walk and the crisp morning air. Like a red leaf falling from trees, tossed and whipped by the breeze, she skipped through woods, crossing icy creeks by hopping from stone to stone. She knew the way well enough but this was the first time she traveled it alone. But today she was no longer a child. Strange brewing swirled inside of her and she was sent to learn from her grandmother secrets long kept hidden among the women in her family. Delicacies and candies were presents in exchange for the mysteries that wondered her all through childhood.
Her passage came to an abrupt halt as a bird came sailing down to the path in front of her. "Little Red Ridinghood, Little Red Ridinghood, don't go to your grandmother's house. The big, bad wolf is hiding there to pounce and eat you alive!" said the little bird.
"Nonsense. There is no wolf and even if there is why would he want to eat me?" said Little Red Ridinghood and she stepped over the bird and continued on her way. As a little girl, such warning would have chilled her with fear, sending her home in a flurry. But she was a girl no longer and wild dogs only needed a rap on the nose. Her step became more determined and her cloak opened occasionally to reveal a velvet soft thigh, pale as moonlight. For on such a long journey, she didn't want to wear anything too confining so she had slipped on a short skirt to hike the long, deserted trail to her grandmother's house.
But her journey was stopped a second time by a panting, desperate rabbit. "Little Red, Little Red, don't go to your grandmother's house! The wolf is waiting for you with drooling jowl and sharpened fang " said the rabbit.
"Oh, and why would he be doing that?" said the girl as she continued her pace so that the rabbit had to hop along after her.
"He will throw you down, pinning your shoulders as he shreds your clothes off with his incisors. And then he will mount you without a decent rub around first and grind into you every hairy and horned perversion that infests his feral head. You could be passed out and worn through but he would continue to pound away, smothering you with his lascivious tongue and blood dripping lips!" gasped the little rabbit.
"Oh really?" Little Red Ridinghood said and her pace picked up till even the excited rabbit fell behind her, still ranting obscene warnings. The conversation had deepened her cheeks to the shade of her cloak and she threw it over her shoulders to cool her chest. Her heaving breasts swelled the bodice that held back her bust like a dam before a flood. The shadowed forest air chilled the sweat that rolled down her cleavage like a sweetwater creek running through a heavenly valley. Curiosity kept her on the trail but something else made her hurry. She had long awaited this day to travel through the woods alone to her grandmother's house but now, despite the burning in her lower body, she rushed to find whether she would find a sweet, old lady or a vicious beast.
A third creature came up to her and cantered along to her brisk gait. She looked down to see a fox looking up at her. It did not try to stop her as the other creatures did. "Are you coming along with me?" she asked the fox.
"No, Red. I don't want to see the slaughter," he said.
"Slaughter?" This stopped her like chasm before her path. "All of the others said that the wolf wants to ravish me. Why are you talking about killing?" she asked perplexed.
"What's the difference? It is one and same to the Beast, for you see," he said, "I know something that the others do not."
"Please tell me," pleaded Little Red Ridinghood.
"Well, I suppose it won't change anything if you knew," said the fox. "The Beast is only a wolf when the cycle is full but he needs blood every night. I don't know if he is werewolf that was bit by a vampire or a Drac that was infected with lycanthropy but it all will mean the same for you."
Little Red Ridinghood started to laugh but as she saw that the fox was not, her mirth fizzled and she asked, " But why would he be waiting for me?"
"That's easy. He could smell you the moment you got up this morning. I could sense you long before we met. It's your blood that he wants, the blood that is overflowing in you now. Such a meal is too much of a temptation."
"Then he's not going to scrape his claws over my breasts, lick me all over with his seven inch tongue, getting every inch of my skin wet with his spicy saliva. Won't he push my legs apart and fill me with heated and vicious thrusts?" she asked almost in a plea.
"Well he might just before he drains you of every ruby rich drop of blood, leaving your body like a cracked egg shell." said the fox.
Little Red Ridinghood considered the value of the exchange and then just shook her head in wonder. "I'll just have to see for myself'" she said. The fox gave her a toothy grin and a wink for luck before disappearing into the woods. Her little black shoes clicked with determination in the direction of her grandmother's house that for years represented a sanctuary of herbal tea and crumbcakes but now all that was shattered with a tease, an invitation to a world of pleasure and pain.
It wasn't long before the trail widened and the forest thinned to reveal a lovely, picturesque cottage nestled in a sun lit clearing. Underneath ivy and dozens of birdhouses was a frame of mighty timbers, laid in interlocking weaves. The small house was perfectly square with a big window in the center of each side. That is why the door was in the corner. Not a whiff of smoke leaked from the chimney and not a sound came out. Even the birds that usually encircled the house were gone.
She crept up to the door and reached into her picnic basket. There she found the hard wooden handle of a bread knife. With a sharp, piercing point and a serrated edge that could cut through an arm as easily as a loaf, she felt secure enough to knock just once. Instantly, a husky voice urged her in. She opened the door and entered into the dark house. All the windows had been drawn and the few candles cast more shadows than light.
