THANK YOU, Wattpad, for the HQ Love Watty Award! Concept: A mysterious young woman flees from her troubled past only to discover it is impossible to escape THE SECRET that haunts her. *PLEASE NOTE: This story was originally inspired by the movie "Sleeping With the Enemy". * * * * * "I would never, Steven," she promised, turning away from him in an attempt to protect herself. "I know you wouldn't," he screamed. Cupping her chin in his hand, he forced her to look at him. "Because I would kill you." His words hung heavy in the air. Sarah's heart sank into her stomach. No matter how many times she'd heard the menacing phrase, she could never get used to it. It had the same affect on her as the first time he'd thrown the ugly words in her face. The familiar sting of bile rose in her throat, and she knew she would deplete the contents of her stomach once she was locked in the safety of their master bath. 'If I make it through this time,' she agonized. Her biggest fear was that one day he would really lose his temper with her. Who knew what would happen then? *This story is an unedited first draft.

Schuyler believes that she knows the world she is in, and she believes she is in control but when she learns the truth, she is far from in control. With blonde hair, blue eyes and a smile so pure that one would believe she could do no wrong, innocence dripped from her skin and that was the way that Schuyler preferred it. In reality, she was far from innocent, and even further from pure but that was not what she wanted her prey to think. She needed her innocent facade, and her pure smelling blood in order to trap the wolves in her web, and once trapped the only escape was death. This is not your typical Red Riding Hood story, where Red allowed others to kill the wolves, and where she was too innocent to do anything. No, this is a gruesome, horrific retelling where blood is the main theme and deception follows closely behind.
