WINNER 2015 Wattys #JustWriteIt challenge. Oh my. What large teeth you have? "As you're pretty so be wise, wolves may lurk in every guise." Phobias; we all have them. Heights, Cats, men, women, crying children, Time. They take multiple annoying forms. Me; let's just say I could fill an encyclopedia. Hi; Cyra here. I'll go right ahead and tell you the moral of the story; never trust a stranger, even if it's only all in your head. The sweetest tongue most definitely has the sharpest tooth. Red Riding Hood has won a Watty. Thank you all.

"Licking my pale and chapped lips, I tried to wet my bone-dry mouth so I could speak. Between cold shivers, I noticed the crawling under my skin rippled through me over and over again. Tears pooled and my vision blurred as I crawled flat on the floor out of Dad's grasp. I started shaking violently- something was inside of me... and it was hungry." Meet the real wolf, who is also the girl in the hood. Destery Meadows lives under the realm of the paranormal, and seeks an end.

Annabeth Danvers is a typical 18 year old girl except for one thing. She is a descendant of Little Red Riding Hood. She is part of a line of women who is supposed to protect the town of Silverlake, Washington from the wolves that descend upon them every night. But what will happen when she meets the Big Bad Wolf, the same wolf that terrorized her ancestors, the same wolf that just so happens is her mate.
