I am just a girl, and you a wise wolf of the wood. My hair is tamed and caught in ribbons -my hands are hidden in my downy scarlett cloak. Please, predator, teach me your way- steal my innocence and make me feral. Turn giggles to fangs and sweetness to tang- it feels so good to be bad! I am just a girl, and you a wise wolf of the wood. Yet I've felt your eyes following me, and I know you know what I desire. Come, King of rickity shadows, transfer your crown to me. I walk between the trees and over the snow to find my devil, and dear wolf, you are he. I am just a girl and you a wise wolf of the wood. But the lure is sweetness, is it not? I carry food for the dying, a hopeless gesture of civility. She disgusts me, I have come to teach her the truth of me. Other girls would beg for mercy, but I am a killer whose scalpel is flesh. True, I am just a girl and you a wise wolf of the wood. But my time is at hand, biter of men, and the twisting in my heart has been witnessed by God. Let us steal away into the green darkness, and wait for the huntsman in his coat of many slains, and let us make our own hunter's coat...
Reason for writing:
Okay, before you guys think I'm a psycho, this is purely FICTIONAL!!!! It was an assignment to twist a fairy tale around. It is the story of Little Red Riding Hood gone insane, she decides she would like to join the wolf on his murderous rampage. Hope you enjoyed. Megan
