Once upon a time, a young girl went into the woods to visit her grandmother. In addition to wearing a blood-red cape that was designed to keep her warm and warn hunters of her presence so they would not shoot her, she carried a small basket filled with bread, wine, and poundcake that her mother had specially put together.
On her way to her grandmother's cottage, a man approached her with such a menacing aura that the little girl quickly ended their conversation and pushed herself forward faster to get to her grandmother's house, and you know the rest of the story.
Long after she had grown up, Little Red Riding Hood married Peter, a village friend, and they had a daughter named Petra.
They lived in her late grandmother's cottage for many years, knowing that the werewolf that had once eaten her and her grandmother had long since been killed by the hunter who continued to prowl the woods to protect the locals and neighboring kingdoms.
One fateful day, Red and Peter were cornered by another werewolf while on a family outing intended to allow little Petra to engage in her favorite outdoor activities. Little is known about the aftermath. Nobody survived to share the tale.
Or so the king's guard thought. You see, the official narrative was that the werewolf ate little Petra and killed Red and Peter, leaving no one to be buried. The truth, however, was different. A deep leg scratch and an abrupt, challenging new identity were involved.
This brand-new Little Red Riding Hood tale opens with a filthy, nude girl sprawled out in front of the Auradon Preparatory School's gates.
