Fangs.

Long and sickeningly sharp that gleamed bright in contrast to the dark, misty forest and stark moonlight.

The murky forest was quiet and overshadowed my small, limble body as if I were a mere mouse.

Frozen in place due to fear flowing through its body due to the hunter finding its prey.

The prey being me and the hunter being the wolf who stood a few feet in front of me. Evil, menacing growls were tearing from its mouth and drool forming its own puddle beneath the overly large wolf.

Although I was in danger of being eaten by the newest version of Red Riding Hood's wolf,' I could not help but to admire elongated fangs that could sink into my skin and kill me.

I was fascinated with how clean they seemed to be. I expected a wolf to have yellow stained teeth or maybe blood stained teeth.

I guess my expectations were a little too high.

The wolf who seemed to have good dental hygiene continued to growl while keeping its unique eyes on me.

The wolf had a strange color pigment in his eyes. The wolf's left eye was colored a deep sea blue that seemed to have a hurricane of its own to sink any ship. In the right eye, there seemed to be a large fire. A fire that could burn a thousand forests.

Curiouser and curiouser, I thought to myself.

The wolf was very strange to me. Not only were his teeth and eyes different, but the wild beasts build in particular was alarming. The snout of the wolf was larger and longer than any other wolf I had ever seen. The beast had a long, but very strong form from what I could see.

Stronger than any other normal wolf.

The beast was oh so tall too. The untamed wolf had to be about four feet tall which I knew should not be possible at all. I may not have went to college, but I've studied animals. What I've seen so far is not even close to...possible.

Already in the process of nearly pissing myself, I slowly held up my hands in surrender. I didn't want to get killed.

I slowly and carefully backed away from the beast while keeping my eyes centered on the animal who wanted to eat me. "Nice wolfy. Just stay where you are." I spoke quietly. My actions didn't seem to help because the growls became louder. It felt as if I was hearing them all around me and I became even more terrified.

The wolf's mouth formed into a snarl.

"Oh what big teeth you have." I commented.

It's eyes narrowed on me further.

"Oh what big eyes you have."

It's rear end lifted up into a defensive position, clearly ready to attack.

"Oh what big-OH SHIT!" I ran once I saw the big wolf charge, but sadly I didn't get far enough before I was pushed down.

There was chaos happening all at once, but I was happy to feel that I wasn't hurt. There were snarls, growls, and ripping noises all around me.

I was so close to passing out.

When the chaos seemed to stop, I turned to lay on my back and was met with the same mismatched eyes that the wolf had.

I hate leaving notes at the end, but tell me what you think and what are your thoughts on RED? Also this is a little over 500 words. I literally just came up with this and I am too lazy to edit and make it shorter. For now, enjoy the longer version. I've never done anything paranormal before and I wanted to try it out, the idea just came to me. By the way I kinda suck at being suspenseful and this is my first and best shot.
