As Matt and Abigail searched the kitchen, they noticed that the sink was filled with water, and starting to quickly flow over the edge.

(The artifact is in the sink.)

(Red Riding Hood was chosen because while the story existed before Charles Perrault, he was the one who added the signature red-cloak element. Additionally, in his story, the tale ends with Red Riding Hood getting into bed with the wolf - a morality tale cautioning young girls of sleeping with those who charm. My idea is that M. Perrault got the idea from his cruel seducing of his young wife, Marie Guichon, who owned a red cloak that allowed her to connect to the spirit world in a wolf form. Seperated from the cloak, she's been unable to access that form, was forced to grow old, and thus has grown desperate and mad - although her artifact usage isn't helping that end.)

(I also really like Red Riding Hood, and it was a theme I could incorporate throughout the entire story - I mean, Sandy was a wolf in disguise, after all...)
