♤ RED RIDING HOOD ♤

♤ We meet again: Ch 3 ♤

CHARLOTTE POV:

"Wow you look beautiful! Just like your mother." My grandmother said crying.

"Oh grandmother don't cry" I said whiping her tears away.

Now go and have fun. And who knows you might find your own prince charming.

"Oh grandmother you know I don't belive in those things. "

"You never know."

We both laughed.

"Now go and have fun."

"Thank you grandmother."

I went to the carriage and left to the ball.

~THE BALL~

I got off the carriage and was impressed by the huge and magnificent castle. There were many people and couples who had arrived. I walked up the stairs and was welcomed by someone at the door.

I walked in and could hear the music playing. A huge chandler stood above. I looked around and felt a suden urge to dance but with who?

A tall man wearing a black mask appeared in front of me.

He stook out his hand as if asking me to dance with him.

I felt enticed by this strange man. When our hands touched I felt a burst of butterflies in my stomach.

He led me to the center of the room and we joined the rest of the couples to start the dance. He gently placed his large hand at the small of my waist. I was surprised when he pulled me ever so close to him. Our faces were mere inches away from each other.

Although I couldn't see his face a part of my died to know how he looked like. His eyes were a striking blue. At first glance they looked cold and distant. And he emit this misterous yet powerful aura around him. He appeared to be the type of person one definitely did not want to get close to. Yet the more his eyes stared back at my hazel ones the more they seemed to soften and fill with warmth.

His eyes would darken and occationaly show hints of amber which I couldn't understand why.

As we danced I noticed that his eyes would never leave mine. It seemed like his eyes were trying to tell me something and I couldn't help but feel that his aura resembled that of the black wolf I had encountered in the forest.

They both seemed scary yet where so gentle and kind. A part of me couldn't help but feel that his hold although gentle was possessive. He seemed to want to pull me closer the longer we danced and I, strangely, didn't mind. Its as if we both craved each other's touch.

Once the song ended we both bowed at each other.

He smiled and I felt my cheeks get warm. He, once again, reached out his hand and without a second thought I placed my hand in his. He led me outside. We walked for a bit until we reach a beautiful red rose garden.

I looked around admiring the beautiful roses. There were so many of them.

"Wow, its beautiful!" I said amazed.

I turned to look at him and realized he had been staring at me intently. I looked down feeling self conscious.

I could hear his deep chuckle. This was the first time I had heard his voice and it could make any girl go weak.

When I turned around the strange man was holding a single red rose. He looked at me as if I was someone precious. It made me blush. He then handed the rose to me.

I smiled and smelled its wonderful fragrance.

"Thank y..." I began. I then started to feel extremely tired and my body started to give out. Before I knew it I blacked out.

BLACK WOLF POV

I caught her before she could hit the ground. Her frame was so small compared to mine. It felt so good to have her in my arms.

I took her to a room I had prepared just for her, my queen. I carefuly placed her on the bed. She was breathtakingly beautiful. It took all I had not to kiss her soft lips. I knew that if I did I would lose the little self control I had left.

"At last you will be mine Charlotte. I promise I will make you happy. No one will ever take you away from me. Goodnight my queen" I said kissing her forhead.
