Scarily Ever After storybooks

Introduction

 * Once upon a time there was a ghoul with a nose for trouble.

Tale

 * Little Dead Riding Wolf stood hooded in red, a bright full moon in the sky overhead.
 * A casket of goodies held in one paw, for her granwolf who was feeling kind of down in the claw.
 * "Now stick to the path, talk to none on the way; go straight to gran's house without delay."
 * "Yes mother," she said as she left with a bounce, little knowing there was some monster waiting to pounce.
 * And take the casket of goodies all for his own; she might have been more careful if only she'd known.


 * At the cross roads she saw him, his body aflame; an elemental of fire Heath Burns was his name.
 * "Hey Little Dead," he said with a shout, "it seems kind of late for you to be out."
 * "I'm headed to granwolf's with this casket of cheer and there's a full moon in the sky so I have nothing to fear."
 * Heath tried to engage her with frivolous chat but Little Dead was having none of that.
 * So he waited until she had vanished from view saying, "To get those goodies I know just what to do."
 * Heath would use a shortcut to granwolf's shack and dress up as her to get him that snack.


 * Then it was off to granwolf's by this secret route and he was delighted to find that she was out.
 * Heath had just snuggled into gran's four poster bed when a knock at the door signaled it must be Little Dead.
 * "Come in," he cried in his best granwolf growl, "I'm down in my paw and too weak to prowl."
 * "Just leave the goodies dear," her "granwolf" said, "I'll have them tomorrow when I get out of bed."
 * But Little Dead's nose told her something wasn't right and
 * To the bedroom she went to check on gran's plight.


 * ...and they lived Scarily Ever After
