Rayla Harlen was the town's sweetest girl, the one who always wore the red cape and hoodie everywhere she went, but little did everyone know, Rayla has a secret, something even she hid from her parents. She was no ordinary girl, and when it came to parties, she would always be there, but one her parents got word of said party; they refused to let her go. She was too precious for them to lose, and if it was going to be in the middle of the woods, or on the outskirts of town; they wanted her to have no part of it.
"You would surely die in those woods," her father would say.
"I won't allow a girl like yourself to go anywhere with those...ruffians," her mother complained.
But Rayla already had her heart set on going, no matter what her parents said. Sure, everyone thought she was innocent, shy, and polite, but there was a side to her that none of them had seen; a side that would come out only in the darkest hours of the night...
A side that only the Big Bad Wolf knew about, and took the chance to make that side come to life; once he gets his hands on the Red hooded girl, that just happened to cross his path.
Will Rayla regret that she didn't heed her parents' warning, or will she ditch the idea of partying, and take to the Wolf's side?
