Author's Note: This is going to be a twist of Little Red Riding Hood…though I suppose Red: Werewolf Hunter has a bit more influence. It will be different because in this world there are three basic fractions, Werewolves, Sorcerers and Humans and everyone knew about Werewolves and Sorcerers at one point though at the present day it's hidden. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this.

Also I wanted to add in that I have been having a hard time typing because of an injury. Sometimes I can only type a few sentences a day other times I can type half a page. I am getting better but it is taking some time and the doctor said it could be up to six months. I had hoped I would be better sooner so I could upload this and keep it updated as a constant thing however I will be unable to do that. I already have the second chapter done and I'm working on the next but I just wanted to give a heads up to any who do read this that while I will continue to work on this story updates might be a while depending on how my arm feels. I apologize and I hope people still enjoy reading this.

Chapter 1: Prologue

Centuries ago Werewolves, humans and Sorcerers lived in relative peace. Though at first glance one might wonder if the humans were under the Werewolves or Sorcerers however there was a faction of the humans who donned the name Huntresses. They protected the humans from being overpowered by the Wolves or Sorcerers. Though they possessed no animal or magic power they were shrewd and were well versed in the knowledge of combat and how to fight the other two factions. Not only that but they were brave. So even though the Wolves and Sorcerers were slightly above the humans the humans were able to stay up and not be slaves.

The Wolves' alpha family had one son, Bartholomew; he was one of the strongest in decades. The Wolves were able to change between their human form and their Wolf form at any time they so choose. And some of them had developed so they could take on another animal form. They were strong, fast and all of their senses were enhanced. Running from a Wolf would not result in getting away.

The Sorcerers were able to call on magic like they breathe air. They enjoyed the freedom it gave them and because of this some of them decided they had a different mindset. There were some that believed themselves to be above both the Wolves and the humans whereas others believed that it was in the Wolves and the Sorcerers that belonged all the power. From this fraction there was a man, Clyde and he had a daughter, Everly. He loved Everly and wanted nothing but the best for her and so he sought out Bartholomew's Father and made a deal for Everly and Bartholomew to marry.

It wasn't long before the news spread and once that occurred arrangements for the ceremony happened. Everly and Bartholomew were married and all came. Clyde had not wanted the humans there but one of the other elder Sorcerers, Udonna, and a clan of the Wolves had insisted upon it. Clyde was less than happy and so made sure that the humans were in the back. The ceremony went off perfectly.

It was only a few months later when Everly discovered two things. The first, that she was with child and the second that Bartholomew did not love her. Though he was attentive and kind to her it seemed as though a piece of him was missing. It wasn't until Everly had went to find Bartholomew in the woods one day to finally tell him the good news when she discovered he wasn't alone. As she came into a small clearing she found Bartholomew with a Ralina, a Huntress.

To say Everly was only hurt would not be the only thing she felt for she was shocked as well. She wondered if another woman held her husband's heart but to discover that a mere human was the one was something she could barely comprehend. Everly didn't want to just barge in the clearing and she didn't want her husband to know she was here so quickly she masked herself and held her breathe as she watched their interaction and hoped that it was not love as she assumed it was.

For the two were not kissing or in any sort of passionate embrace in fact they were not even touching. They were standing approximately five feet from each other but both of their bodies appeared to want to be closer. Their voices were quiet and she couldn't quite make out what they were saying for she did not have the ears of a Wolf. One look from Bartholomew was like a thousand lovers' caresses, something she had not experienced from her husband.

As she realized the very obvious fact that he was her husband and he had no right in whatever it was he was doing. She knew then that she had but a few options; the first and most obvious would be to interrupt their meeting and show him she knew what he was doing, the second was similar and that would be to alert him to her presence and have the human leave and then talk to him about it, the third would be to pretend it never happened and the fourth would be to curse him.

Standing there watching as he lifted a hand and brushed his fingers along her cheek she could not help the red that started to consume her body. She turned and left in hopes of figuring out which curse it was to enact. It would be one that would make them both suffer for that foolish human had to have known who he was and he…he was married.

She walked faster feeling the anger and hatred wash over her body. Feeling the envy as she realized she would never know what it felt like to have another look at her the way her husband looked at another woman. She would wonder when she was in bed with him in the night if he was only picturing that harlot. She would wonder when he looked at the child, at their child, if he would wish it had come from another.

Her child.

At the very thought all her anger and hatred and violence washed away. She knew that this child could not live with that coursing through her body. And once Everly realized this the utter despair that she would be alone to raise this child took over her body and before she knew it she found herself at her Father's house.

Clyde of course welcomed her in but once he noticed his daughter's heartbroken expression he had her tell him what was bothering her. Thinking her confession would be safe in the house she had grown up in she told him everything. Clyde sat and comforted his daughter and told her not to worry and that all would be well in time. Everly was not sure what her Father meant but she soon went back to her own home and that was when Clyde descended to the basement of his house to allow himself full concentration on what he was about to do.

As soon as he was ready he lay a curse on Bartholomew, a curse which would only take effect once Ralina was nearby. It did not take long for it to happen. Ralina had been in the woods where Bartholomew often found her but this time she was not the only one in the woods. Sophia, the granddaughter of one of the great Sorcerers was also in the woods. When Bartholomew had smelled Ralina's scent he had immediately started towards her direction however because of the curse that had been placed on him he did not make it but two steps before he found his body changing against his will. Soon enough Bartholomew found himself within his animal form. He was quite confused as he only ever changed when he wished it. Then before he could stop himself he bounded after the scent of the woman he had fallen in love with.

Unfortunately for Sophia, who did not know her power well, she happened to be in his way and the giant Wolf stopped to start going after her. Ralina heard the poor girls scream and quickly ran towards it hoping to help her out. As soon as Ralina entered the spot where the Wolf was about to pounce on Sophia it stopped and turned towards her. The Wolf attacked her and she started moving in order to prolong her life. Since she was a Huntress she had a weapon against Werewolves, a silver dagger. Before she could get to it the Wolf dragged his claws down her back and she cried out as she fell.

Ignoring the white hot pain that was beginning to take over her mind she turned and slide the dagger into the monsters' heart. Bartholomew was horrified at the fact that he was attacking his love and yet he could not stop himself. He knew it was the end for her when he saw her back torn apart by his claws. He wished for something to stop him and as he felt the dagger enter his heart he thanked the heavens that he was the one to die so she could live.

After the Wolf fell Sophia quickly ran to Ralina and moved the Wolf off. Ralina had slipped into unconscious and so Sophia quickly used her powers to call her grandmother. Through Udonna's help Ralina was able to be saved. Although when she came to and she saw the Wolf that had attacked her had turned into the man who had said he wanted to pledge everything that he was to her she could not help but feel the utter despair of losing him. She could barely listen to Udonna as she explained that she used Bartholomew's strength to help save Ralina. She didn't pay much attention when Udonna told her that the Huntresses senses would be enhanced. And her mind couldn't focus too much when Udonna explained that her family and Ralina's would be bound together forever.

Many things happened after that and many things were discovered. The Wolves were angry at the Huntresses for Ralina had killed their Alpha. Clyde helped other Sorcerers with their grudge against the Huntresses as well. One of the Sorcerers in Sophia's family felt it was the Wolves fault and so cursed the Wolves. They could no longer be free to turn and instead would answer to the moon.

The Wolves angry at this lack of freedom turned to the Sorcerers that had always been on their side and in turn they tried to do a spell to prevent the Sorcerers who had trapped the Wolves into only being able to use their power so much but through an interference with another faction of the Sorcerers the spell backfired and instead all Sorcerers had a limit to their power.

Finally another group that consisted of both Wolves and Sorcerers knew that without their powers as they were they were weakened and so decided that the Huntresses who had all been able to always fight them should die. The Huntresses quickly became aware of this and so disbanded and joined the rest of the humans in hopes that they could blend in.

And so over the centuries different wars had ignited and died, some grudges had been kept while for others it died away. And yet now the humans are on a higher playing field then the Sorcerers and the Wolves for with all the different wars and fights that had ensued many of them had died, at times even so it seemed they would all die out. The Wolves stay in the night and the Sorcerers stay in the shadow always knowing that somewhere a Huntress could come upon them and be rid of them for good unless they were to discover a way in which to win and gain their power back.

Along the centuries many prophecies were spoken but only one prophecy stood out to those that heard it and it is this that a time will come when what was wrong will be right and things will settle in the world once more allowing a better time than before for power that is shared is amongst the higher will of more than one in which to move towards a time when peace will once more reign.
