Wolf hearing

Noel asked for a oneshot of Emma, Alex and Melody sneak off on dates and Red brings them home to their parents who are gathered at Ella and Thomas' castle. Noel remember this is for the Charming family and not Red, just noticed your requests are becoming increasingly more about Red :).

Andrea and Sophs: I'm afraid these have been too closely covered.

Guest who asked for Emma hiding food, also too closely covered.

"Shh quiet, someone will hear us!" Melody giggled excitedly. Alex and Emma made an attempt to quieten their giggles and excited squeals, but no matter how low they made their whispers, a werewolf would still be able to hear them. Especially when said werewolf was one of the girls' godmother and had overheard their plans to sneak off on dates unescorted. They were young and naïve, all of them only fourteen, they did not think of the dangers this might cause.

Red trailed the girls through the forest to the agreed secret meeting place- the oldest willow tree right in the centre of the forest. There waiting for them were the three boys- Gerard, Edmond and Hugo, three sons of noblemen. Red wanted to wait until she saw the boys herself before frogmarching the young ladies back to Ella and Thomas' palace (the closest). That way she could give a good description to their parents so they'd know who to keep a good lookout for during Balls.

"We thought you three weren't going to show." Edmond said. "Worried your mommies and daddies would catch you?"

"Well no mommies and daddies." Red said, finally showing herself. "But godmothers." Emma groaned and slapped her palm to her forehead.

"Auntie Red." She groaned. "Come on, we were just going to have some fun…"

"It is highly irresponsible and all six of you know it." Red chastised them all. "You three boys better scram. It's a full moon tonight…" The boys suddenly turned and fled as fast as their legs could carry them, they'd heard the rumours about Red Riding Hood being a werewolf and they didn't want to get eaten! Red turned her gaze to the three, slightly perturbed looking, teen girls. "You three get moving back to Ella and Thomas' castle- where all your parents are waiting."

"Aunt Red!" Emma complained, mortified that her aunt had shown her up so badly in front of her friends. Red just glared at her.

"Don't get cheeky with me, Emma Ruth. Anything you say will be held against you to your parents." Red warned. Emma clamped her mouth shut and started trudging back with Melody and Alex, giving both girls an apologetic look.

"Thanks for returning them Red." Prince Eric said as the three girls sat on the chairs that had been set out for them in the meeting room. "Rest assured they will be appropriately punished."

"Just doing my role as Auntie Red." She replied with a small smile. She did feel bad for the girls, she had been young and curious once herself. But she knew that such curiosity could end badly and she would never forgive herself if they had been hurt and she could have prevented it.
