Little Red Cinderella and the Three Beanstalks

This is a story about a girl and a book.
It is a book of fairy tales, and a girl who is rather ordinary, until she finds herself quite literally sucked into stories.
But the world of Little Red Riding Hood and Sleeping Beauty is a turbulent one at the best of times, and it has been thrown into further turmoil by Rikki Collin's presence.
The paths of the stories have been disturbed, and with the Book being the only key as to how to set right what she has ruined, Rikki--with the help of two not-quite-knights-in-shining-armor--has to fix what she has broken before an ancient power awakens and can take advantage of the twisted path. Once upon a time, there were no happily ever afters.

*NOTE: To all those of you new readers checking this story out for the first time, be aware that the first chapters are over nine years old, and they are a little cheesy because I was a new writer. I've left them mostly as-is for my veteran readers, but I swear, things DO get better if you can make it past the first ten or so chapters.
