Chapter 1: Once Upon A Time

Once upon a time there lived a beautiful auburn brunette who lived with her father (Shiro), mother (Yuka), two step sisters (Hotaru and Sumire) and her dog (Noodles). (A/N: Lol Noodles, well it rhymes with poodles…Lol!)

The family happily lived in a huge home which was just near the country side, they lived in a town called 'Alice's Wonderland' a.k.a (also known as) 'The World of Oz', which are just names that was from a fairy tale and the family are filthy rich!

The three girls have three dear childhood friends which are: Ruka, Anna, Nonoko, Inchou and Koko.

Ruka is which people call him the animal lover or even the names of princesses of many fairy tales that has a princess that can summon the animals or any other animal loving characters. Example: 'Repunzel' or even 'Goldilocks' But even if Mikan or Hotaru was childhood friends with Ruka, he was still a mystery to them.

Anna is a girl who has a talent for cooking; in fact she's really well-known in the town and cooks for the royalty. Her twin sister is Nonoko but they aren't twins for their looks.

Nonoko has a talent for potion making; same as before, she's well-known, but works for the kingdom of Alice.

Inchou is the son of the Kingdom Alice Royalty's advisor, meaning his father is the wise advisor of the kingdom, advising the king. So that means that he will be the next advisor after his dad retires.

Koko is unknown to the others, he has the ability to read peoples' thoughts/minds, so he works for the Alice Kingdom to read the thoughts of enemies and read the minds/thoughts suspicious peoples.

Hotaru had a father but he abandoned her family when se was a baby, leaving Hotaru with her mother, after a few weeks Hotaru's mother left Hotaru with Mikan's mother. Hotaru works for the Alice Kingdom, inventing all sorts of medieval battle weapons, since she is the famous genius. She is known as the ice princess and she is the royal body guard for the royalty.

As for Sumire she's a designer in the kingdom, her shop is still fifth best but she still won't give up. Sumire's shop is fifth best because she's always flirting with the male customers. (Even if they are married or they have a lover!) Sumire once had terrible childhood memory that made her flirt with boys non-stop. (A/N:Her past life will be shown after many chapters so you better red all the chapters to occupy you! Or you will never understand the story line.)

Well Mikan is just… well normal! Her step-sisters are Hotaru and Sumire, she works in a flower shop. Mikan's father got married twice because Sumire's mother cheated on him and left Sumire with them. After that Mikan's father married Yuka, Mikan's mother and birthed Mikan. After a few weeks they found the baby Hotaru on the door step and adopted her.

Okay now this time it' really the beginning, the beginning of a fate, a fate between a prince charming the beauty, and a beast the beast. In short, it's called 'Beauty or the Beast?'

Mikan was happily skipping along the river bank harvesting beautiful flowers which are nearby; her father was out to work out in the sea, collecting valuable treasures and such.

Whilst Yuka, Mikan's mother is preparing the Mikan's flower shop; decorating it with carnations, ribbons, flower petals, feathers, peacock feathers, beads, and all kinds of decorative objects.

Now back to Mikan; our auburn brunette was now making flower crowns, and making lots of bouquets using the flowers like: daisies, tulips, poppies, daffodils, and different kind of carnations.

Unknown to her a pair of crimson eyes looked at her with an emotionless expression but sadness escaped the emotionless face. Licking it's lips, the unknown creature pounced at Mikan before she could even react.

It pinned Mikan on the grassy ground, shuffling her around making her face the creature's face.

Mikan saw that the creature that the creature is a…a-a….a wolf! Shriveling with fright, Mikan tried shuffling herself out of the wolf's way but he then noticed it and you all know what it means, right?

5…The raven-haired wolf's paws pinned itself onto the ground, beside Mikan's head…

4…It's legs jumped onto Mikan's thighs…

3…The creature then got low…

2…It went closer to Mikan's face…

1…The creature licked it's lips…

0…The creature leaned a little bit more…

Then Mikan shot up…making the wolf land on the river, the river was quiet strong and the wolf is drifting into the dark woods. (A/N: Lol you guys though a prince charming could save her?)

With that se sweat-dropped and continues with her crown-making, bouquet-making and pressed-flower making.

Unknown to her another pair of emotionless eyes looked at her but it was a boys' eyes instead. The boy was soaked in water… (A/N: Lucky for him it's a warm day and the water is perfect…)

Meaning we don't know what eye color he has.

As Mikan finished everything she skipped merrily out of the boy's sight, leaving him break and turn into an even more sorrowful gaze…

To Be Continued…

(A/N: Joking!!!!! Just checking if you read everything, even the Author's Notes.)

It was still an early morning, and Hotaru was busy making her inventions, doing her usual routines but something caught her eye…It was a novel that caught her attention…but the novel is different it has a photo cover of the author…the author is…Hotaru's mother! Even if Hotaru didn't see her mother for a very long time she still remembered her face, since she is as genius.

Hotaru's POV

Damn, I forgot today I have to protect the prince; well I better use the telepathy machine…;

I walked to my room, then I pushed a sapphire-colored button near my bed and the mattress of my bed soon was lifted by itself…success it worked, the mattress was covering a trap door with high-tech securities to my lab, first I had to put my finger on a scanner, second I showed my eyes to the eye scanner, third I then put my hand onto the scanner and finally I typed in my password which is four character long.

Then…Voila! The entry is opened…now is the time to step inside and teleport myself into the cellar of the castle…

After the mad zoom into the cellar I walked toward the princes' room waiting outside…after that the door suddenly opened, showing…

Author's POV

Okaay…now back to Mikan…Mikan now finally made it to her flower shop…she went inside, and heard nice short tune from the bell on the door.

Yuka appeared smiling ever so sweetly at Mikan with gentle tender in her eyes…a tear rolled down her cheeks while she was gripping on a piece of paper but what could it be?

TO BE CONTINUED…

Author's Note: The story will be updated as soon as possible, after I've added a chapter to 'Eternaltears?' And 'TearfulPain' the next chapter will be a secret but I will tell you the next chapter's title…it's 'Sold To The Devil'
