"Once upon a time, there was a little girl named ruby, and she always wore a red hood and delivered treats to her granny. So she was called little red riding hood, and everyone knew her as that. Little Red had special powers and one day when she was delivering treats to her granny she came across a mean, big, ugly werewolf....."

"Nana, are werewolves real?"

"Yes dear, anyway.....the big ugly werewolf was trying to trick her so he could eat her, but red knew better and she used her special powers to good use...."

"Little red had powers like me?"

"Yes sweetie, and like you red had the power to move things with her mind, but unlike you her powers were already grown, so she could also set things on fire, using her mind"

"On fire!??"

"Yup, and that's what she did, she set the mean old werewolf on fire, and saved the town, but some people didn't like that she had powers so they set her on fire in fear of what else she could do, so all the little girls like her had to go into hiding, which is why we.....?"

"Only practice magic at night"

"No we don't"

Both the grandma and the grandchild looked to the little girls mother who was standing at the doorway

"Mom, please tell me you weren't telling her the story?"

"She deserves to know the truth about who she is, a witch, she also deserves to practice her power"

"No, it's too dangerous, especially here in Lima"

"That's why we practice at night"

"I just don't want her learning about this stuff, I want her to be normal"

"Dear, there's nothing normal about having powers"

The little girl uses her power to grab her teddy bear

"Rachel! What have I said? No magic in the house"

"Sorry mommy"

"Honestly Shelby, if you don't do it I will"

"Alright, alright we'll go, but just for a little bit"

The grandma smiled and sat down

"See ya in an hour"

In the woods Shelby was showing Rachel how to make a flower grow and help her move around a rock.

"Alright Rachel, try to move the big rock all the way across the tree"

"I can't"

Shelby smiled

"Yes you can"

Rachel tried as hard as she could, but suddenly there was rustles in the bushes and in the other trees. Shelby stopped smiling and grabbed Rachel's hand

"Rachel go, go to the house as fast as you can"

Shelby bend down while looking around and told her seven year old daughter. The rustles grew louder and closer.

"What about you mommy?"

"Mommy will be fine....."

Shelby quickly said as a giant wolf jumped out. Shelby used her magic to flick it away. The protective mother took one last glance at her scared child. Soon a pack of wolves jumped out and Shelby couldn't hold them off much

"GO, Rachel!"

The little girl was about to run when she was confronted by a growling wolf. It was about to attack her and Shelby was busy fighting off the other wolves, when out of no where a little boy pushes her out of the way. He landed on top of her with a scared look. She wasn't sure wether he was good or bad, but she saw he was scratched on his arm. He had gotten hurt protecting her, she looked at it and saw the boy wince but then stand up dragging her away. She looked back and saw a wolf jump on her mother, before she could scream she was pulled to the tree. The boy was wounded. Rachel didn't have time to worry so in that moment she had to grow up and help the boy who saved her. She remembered the healing spell her mother taught her so she used that. Unfortunately she wasn't that good at it so it left a scar. The boy looked at Rachel's brown eyes, and in the moonlight she saw his eyes, they were hazel. Before she could say anything he nodded his head and ran off. Rachel sat there in shock, then she remembered her mother.

The next day the police showed up in the woods and took Rachel back home. Her grandmother opened up and looked worried. She grabbed a blank Rachel and looked around the officers.

"Where's Shelby?"

"Were sorry ma'm,"

Before he could finish nana berry burst into tears. She gripped Rachel while closing the door. Rachel was still blank. The police announced it an animal attack, most likely a bear, but Rachel knew better. She knew it was a werewolf who killed her mother. In that moment, after everything that had just happened, Rachel not only grew up, but grew an empty hole that filled with hate for werewolves. She made it her mission to learn her magic and claim revenge on the animals that killed her mother. Nothing was going to stop Rachel, nothing.
