I'm the Wolf
"You almost killed her." Red sat in the chair across from the blonde woman. Looking her straight in the eyes. "You froze her, and almost killed her." Leaning forward.
"I didn't mean too." The blonde woman whimpered. "I didn't mean to harm her. I was afraid."
Shaking her head. "Not good enough." She growled low in her throat. "Not good enough."
"Enough Red." Snow's soft command spoke volume from across the room.
Not taking her eyes from the blonde woman's. "I protect my pack; Snow. As you well know." Red spoke in a thin voice.
"Elsa is our pack." Snow replied.
"She almost killed Emma." Red showed her teeth.
"I'm Emma's mother; Red. I'm the over protective one here. I trust Elsa with my daughter." Snow walked towards the table with Neal in her arms. Sitting down in the chair next to the tall blonde. "I trust Elsa with Neal." She leaned forward and offered her son to the blonde ice Queen.
Elsa backed away quickly. Her hands clasped tightly together slipped down to her lap. She whimpered.
Red calmed down once she saw how frightened the blonde woman actually was. When she had first heard that Emma had been in danger due to a woman whom could make ice come flying from her hands; she had freaked the hell out. Seriously whom wouldn't be freaked out by that?! She had rushed over to Snow's loft and demanded to see Emma herself. When she had seen how truly weak her god-daughter was her anger had hit her full force. She swung around and wanted to eat the blonde witch for harming Snow's daughter.
But she fully recognized Elsa's fear of herself. After all when she had first learned that she was the Wolf she went through the self damnation of being a monster herself. Standing to her feet she went and knelt down in front of the scared blonde. Reaching forward and placing her hands on the blonde's knees.
Elsa jerked backwards. "D-d-don't touch me. I'll h-hurt you."
"I trust you." Red said as she placed her hands a little more firmly on the blonde's thighs.
"P-please let me go." Elsa pleaded as she looked deeply into the hazel eyes of the brunette kneeling in front of her. "P-please."
"I'm the wolf." Red said.
Elsa blinked.
"I ate my boyfriend." Red went on. "His name was Peter. Snow and I followed the wolf tracks back to Granny and mine cabin. They stopped just outside the window that Peter always visited at." She swallowed. "Even though I knew that Peter was the wolf I wasn't terrified of him. So I went into the woods to meet him without my cloak. Snow was helping me fool Granny. She would've kept me locked inside during wolf's time." Swallowing around the lump. "I told Peter that I loved him and that I wasn't afraid of the wolf. That we would chain him up against the tree and when he turned into the wolf; I would figure out a way to calm the wolf down. To get the wolf to stop killing people."
Snow allowed the tears to fall silently down her cheeks. She cradled her infant son close to her heart.
"Only when the moon rose high in the sky; it wasn't Peter whom changed into the wolf. It was me." Red swallowed. "I was insane. I forgot whom was in front of me chained too a tree. I heard him begging me to come to my senses to remember whom he was. But I wasn't Red anymore. I didn't know how to be Red anymore. I gave into the wolf. I lunged at him and killed him with one bit to the jugular." She shook her head. "The only thing I was aware of when I was turned back into myself was that Granny and Snow were trying to shield Peter's body from me. When I looked at Peter's body I just knew that I was the wolf."
Elsa's breathe had hitched as she listened to the brunette's story. Anna! I need to find Anna. Now more so then ever. I have to protect Anna.
"I was a total mess in the beginning. I wanted to kill myself for being the monster that I was." Red kept a steady eye contact with the blonde. "If it wasn't for Snow White then I would have succeeded."
Snow gasped from behind her. Red felt horrible bringing up these painful memories with her best friend - her sister in the room; without being able to comfort her. But she knew that the blonde in front of her needed to hear this - needed her to be close to her right now. Red knew that Snow was safe behind her with her infant son in her arms.
"Snow showed me that she trusted me with her life. That she didn't see me any different then when she first met me. She saw me - not the wolf - not Red Riding Hood - she saw me." Red smiled through her tears. "She saw everything in me. The good. The bad. The horrible. The horrors. The demons. She accepted me."
"That's Anna for me." Elsa whispered.
Red nodded. She felt warmth at her side; her face slowly turned from the blonde's face to Snow's smooth face. She smiled softly as she found Snow holding Neal out for her to take. She removed her hands from Elsa's thighs; and gathered her god-son into her arms; and rested his head against her chest. "Our pack of two sure has grown Snow." She whispered as she bowed her head to kiss the smooth skin of Neal's forehead.
