Summary: Bella gets lost. Jacob stalks her, following her around, waiting for the right moment... Edward is the park ranger, looking for Bella. Who will get to her first? I kind of based this on Little Red Riding Hood, but it's gonna be alot different! EdwardXBella(ExB)! Oh, Bella and Edward are human. Just an FYI.

Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight or the Little Red Riding Hood! Just borrowing the characters. ^.^

A/N: Hey everyone, this is my 2nd Twilight fanfic. I'm still in the process of doing "The Accident," but I thought of this and couldn't wait to write it.


Chapter 1- Camping

~BPOV~

Why am I, Bella Swan, out here in the middle of the forest camping?!?!? I mean this is just a hospital visit waiting to happen. I sighed and looked at the wilderness around me, cringing at all the possibilities for falling on my face, which may I add I've done like five times on the way here. Tonight's a full moon too, making me even more creeped out than usual. Our camp was small, considering it was just Mike and I. We had only one tent, but we weren't sleeping together. He wishes. No, we decided it would be easier to share a tent but sleep on opposite sides. Besides that little tidbit, we had a fire going and were roasting hotdogs for dinner. Not a cuisine, but it was food.

"Tell me again... why did we have to hike almost a whole day to get here. The trees here are exactly like the ones on the outskirts of the forest, Mike."

"Chill, Bella... you'd enjoy this more if you'd stop complaining." He pointed out, looking annoyed as he ran his long fingers through his very short, blonde hair. Mike and I had been friends for 5 years now, since I upped and moved to Forks, Washington to live with my dad. We met in gym class, when I hit him in the back of the head with a basketball. I was so embarassed that I accepted his dinner date in order to make it up to him, without even realizing I'd done it. After a few dates and a first kiss, we both decided that being good friends was the better option. It felt like I was kissing my cousin or something, which did not sit well with me. He still teased me from time to time about sleeping together to 'try it out' as he calls it, but I decided to wait for... well I wasn't really sure what I was waiting for, but I knew Mike couldn't give it to me.

During those five years I've had a couple boyfriends, nothing I'd call serious. Just a couple dates here and there, none that went past guys feeling me up. Mike teased me about it alot, although he teased me about everything these days so it's nothing new.

The sound of howling echoing through the night brought me back from my thoughts. I shivered and looked widly about, scooting closer to Mike's side. Mike automatically took that as a sign to touch me and put his arm around my shoulder. I tried to shrug him off, but he was persistant. I gave up and laid my head on his shoulder, it was warmer this way anyways.

"So, what do people do out here in the great outdoors?" I asked before taking a bite of my semi-burnt hotdog.

"There's plenty, and the best thing is we have all weekend so there's no rush. Tomorrow I wanted to check out a waterfall that's nearby. It's supposed to be due east from here." He pulled out a forestry map, pointing out the location of said waterfall. I nodded, not really caring. I was only here because Mike begged and pleaded for weeks for me to come with him.

"Well..." I say as I finish my hotdog, and stand up. "I think it's time for bed. All that walking today has exhausted me." I stretch and head towards the tent, stopping in my tracks when I see bright yellow eyes staring at me from beyond some bushes. I turn my head to see if Mike saw it, but he was busy cleaning up our dinner. I was just about to call his name when I turned back and noticed the eyes were gone. I frowned and looked around a bit before shrugging. I must be tired, I'm seeing things that aren't there now.

I enter the tent, zipping it up behind me and quickly change into my pajamas, not wanting Mike to come in and see me changing. After I burrow deep into my sleeping bag I hear Mike coming in. I hear some movement then a sigh as he settled down in his own sleeping bag.

"Thanks, Bells... for coming with me."

"You're welcome, Mike. Night."

"G'night." He yawns loudly and pretty soon I hear his snoring. I smile and close my eyes as I drift to sleep.

Not too far away...

A knowing smile crosses the animal's/man's mouth. He knew that they were at their weakest right now, sleeping soundly in their tent. The boy might be trouble, but it would be well worth it to have the girl. Ahh... the girl. So young, so beautiful, so.... delicious! He shivered and breathed heavily, trying to calm himself. No.. now wasn't the time to strike. Not yet, but soon. Very, very soon. The creature backed away from the campground, his grinning mouth salivating at the thought of what would be as he disappeared into the night.
