I'd always wondered how the Role-Holders would react if their beloved Alice was more than what she seemed. And while one author has already made her a Twilight-style vampire, I'd like to see how they'd react to a Werewolf in their midst. More importantly, how Peter, Elliot, and Sidney would react, as two of the three are rabbits - prey animals - and the other thinks he's a dog when he's not!
Warning: There will be exerts from classic Disney movies, including Hercules, Aladdin, and The Aristocats. If you don't like musicals, I suggest reading something else.

Alice the Werewolf in The Country of Hearts
Alice sat back beneath the willow tree, gazing wistfully out at the road. For three years, she'd walled herself in, both emotionally and physically. Ever since that horrible, fateful night, she'd kept to herself. She didn't want to put anyone in danger. The curse she carried was just too dangerous. She'd managed to keep her true self a secret so far, but how much longer could her luck hold out? She found herself feeling lost beyond words. If this world found out what she really was, its people would destroy her and anyone close to her. She just didn't belong.
"I have often dreamed of a make believe place
Where a great, warm welcome will be waiting for me.
And the crowds will cheer when they see my face,
And a voice keeps saying this is where I'm meant to be!
"I will find my way,
I can go the distance.
I'll be there someday,
If I can be strong
I know every mileWill be worth my while
I would go most anywhere
To feel like I... belong."
Alice sighed to herself, feeling absolutely miserable. She closed her eyes and began to doze. But before she could drift off, she heard a rustle in the bushes. Immediately, her eyes flew open to see... a little white rabbit wearing clothes?
She blinked her green eyes once. Twice. Okay, I'm not dreaming, and I doubt my loneliness would make me insane enough to imagine a rabbit in a red gingham checked jacket and brown slacks, she thought. She tilted her head curiously as the rabbit's scent drifted to her nose on the soft breeze. He smelt like soap and rabbit, though he did not smell like the other rabbits she'd caught and ripped to pieces on moonlit nights. He smelt oddly... human.
"Hello, Alice," he said in a gently voice. "Come, we must leave this place."
Again Alice blinked. The rabbit had spoken to her. She felt a strange conflict rise within her: whether she should follow the cute creature and befriend him, or eat him. He was both cute and tasty-looking.
The side that wanted to eat him got the better of her. She lunged at him with a growl, showing her sharp fangs. The rabbit narrowly dodged, stared at her in fright. "A-Alice...?" he stuttered. Alice growled like a hungry dog, licked her lip. She lunged at him again, and this time, he ran with a terrified scream. This only excited the girl's predatorial instincts. She ran after him, eager to catch him and eat him.
No, don't hurt him! her human side screamed, shocking herself back to normal just as she caught the little creature. "I'm sorry, I'm so, so sorry!" she sobbed, holding him close. The rabbit trembled with fright for a moment, before he at last seemed to relax. He cuddled into her embrace, using his fluffy ears to dry her tears.
"Don't cry, Alice," he said gently. In a puff of shimmering smoke, she was no longer holding a white rabbit. Rather, a man with white rabbit ears was holding her! "I won't begrudge you for a momentary lapse of control."
The next moment, a huge hole appeared beneath them, and with Alice's startled shriek, they began to fall.
