Ruby And The Wolf
The woods were a pitch black as I walked through them back to the cottage. My mother waited for me, as she usually did. I always walked this path and never felt any fear. I've taken it since I was seven years old. I had just turned sixteen. Mother said I was practically a woman now and I needed to watch out for predators lurking around in the distance. I never really understood what she meant, but tonight I did. I sensed something or someone staring at me. I kept up my pace, but as I became more nervous I walked faster. I've heard the legend about the wolf but never believed it. It was said that he was both wolf and man. He was hungry the touch of a woman. A younger woman. I've always ignored such a story, but now I wasn't so sure. I was finally a few feet away from home and ran as fast as I could.
"Ruby, where have you been?", my mother asked.
"Out to the village, mother. I became a little side tracked. I'm sorry."
"You must be careful. Being out this late is not safe for a young lady like yourself."
"I'm fine, mother.", I tell her, but she wasn't convinced.
"But the wolf..."
"I'm fine.". I reassured her once again. I then kissed her on her forehead and headed into the other room to wash up.
I dropped my red cloak to the ground and began to undress. I was tired and sore, from I don't know what, but a nice hot bath would do. I looked at the reflection of myself in the mirror and held my hands up to my breasts, and ran the down to my hips. I traced my fingers over my stomach and further to that forbidden spot. Something I had become quite curious about. I place my fingers on the one place that was supposed to take your breath away. I felt a warm sensation wash over my body as my eyes closed, and let out a soft moan. I opened my eyes and locked gazes with it. The wolf. His yellow eyes stared into mine through the mirror. I gasped, and looked away. I then drew the curtains and backed slowly into the bath and climbed in.
I woke up the next morning to the news. Grandmother had been quite ill for some time and was now in bed. She had requested I bring her some goodies. Breads, jams and other things mother had made this last Winter. She wanted to stock up in case she wasn't able to get out to...
