Blaming Snow for Quinn's death, Anita prepares to execute the girl as retribution, but Red defends her. Suddenly, the Queen's guards burst in looking for Snow and in the midst of the battle, Quinn is shot dead by one of the guards. Though the two women had planned on traveling together, Red regretfully states that she wants to stay with the wolf pack. When Snow White treads into the den of the wolves looking for Red, the pack is on guard until Red persuades them that Snow, despite being a human, means no harm and is her ally. With Anita's help, Red is taught to master control of herself while in wolf form and finds her place among her own kind. The man, Quinn, admits he is a wolf too, and takes her to a den to his leader, Anita, who confesses she is actually Red's mother and that they were separated because Widow Lucas didn't want her granddaughter growing up as a wolf. Red chases after the thief and stops him from burning her cloak. There, a stranger grabs her cloak and runs off. Red wakes up in the morning, relieved that the cloak's magic held through, and takes it off when she goes to wash up at the stream. In fear of shapeshifting again and possibly hurting Snow, she sends her away for the time being. They evade capture, but Red notices her cloak is partially torn. Now on the run in the woods, Red and Mary flee from pursuing soldiers looking for Mary, whose real identity is Snow White, a fugitive wanted by her stepmother the Evil Queen. While Red reels from the revelation of who she truly is, Widow Lucas urges her and Mary to leave before the hunting party arrives. At first, Red awakens in a disoriented state and asks where Peter is, only to catch a glimpse of what is left of him after she in wolf form did to him. Then, Mary places the cloak on Red to turn her back into a human. She tears him apart and feasts on his remains just as Mary and Widow Lucas arrive to put her out with a silver-tipped cross bolt. Despite Peter's frantic attempts to make her recognize him, she no longer has any sense of her human self. However, when the full moon rises, it is she, not Peter, who shifts into a wolf. Peter believes Red's theory and agrees to be tied up in chains. Red meets with him in the woods to tell him the truth while Mary masquerades as her in bed. Stunned, they conclude Peter must be the wolf. The next day, they follow the wolf's footprints, which oddly begin turning into human tracks, and stop at Red's cottage. Mary is reluctant to agree but eventually agrees to help. (" Red-Handed")ĭuring the evening, Red Riding Hood grabs hold of an idea to simply kill the wolf and get rid of the danger so she and Peter can be together. Widow Lucas protests by explaining her own terrifying experience of having been marked by a wolf in the past. After returning to the village, Mayor Tomkins calls for a meeting where he demands an even larger hunting party so they can put an end to the massacre of people and their livestock. When they go to fetch water from the well, the mangled, bloody corpses of the hunting party is discovered. The next morning, she finds a woman, who calls herself Mary, hiding in the chicken coop barn. As Red goes to rest for the night, Widow Lucas reminds her to keep her cloak on since the color red repels wolves. Red expresses an interest in it, but Widow Lucas refuses and the pair lock down the house for safety. He asks for more volunteers to help the hunting party kill the wolf. One evening, she and Widow Lucas receive Mayor Tomkins at their door. They dream of running away together, but things are not safe in town with a bloodthirsty wolf running around on every wolfs time, or full moon. In a budding romance, Red falls in love with the blacksmith's son, Peter, and the two have secret rendezvouses near her cottage window at night. From that time, she becomes known as Red Riding Hood because of the red cloak she wears. Granny then trades a red cloak from a wizard to prevent the girl from turning into a wolf while wearing it. When she turns thirteen, the girl experiences shapeshifting for the first time, but has no recollections of it. She grows up not knowing her parents, and believes that her mother died some time ago. In a small village, the daughter of a werewolf, Anita Lucas, is raised by her grandmother Widow Lucas, who separates her from her mother to prevent the girl from following in Anita's footsteps.
