I came up with this after watching Cinderella with my baby cousin, and for some reason I imagined it with Mikan as Cinderella. This is one of the stories that I've been thinking about forever, but never actually wrote. Please don't flame too much, it's my first fanfic.

Disclaimer: Howl-chan doesn't own Gakuen Alice.


Prologue:

"HARU!"

The young woman raced towards their fallen alpha, cutting down all the enemies in her path. She ignored the Alice users, only pausing to rip out their throats and kill them with her swords.

"Cover me!" she ordered.

Her two companions, who flanked her sides, immediately obey and protected her from their enemies as she dropped to her knees by her mate.

"Haru! Don't give up! We're going to save you, I swear!"

"It's too late, Sara," her mate gasped. "I'm dying. There's nothing you can do for me…Cough Cough…. But you and the others still have a chance. Flee, before we all die… Promise me, Sara. Promise that you'll get the others out safely…." He whispered with his dying breath.

"I swear I will, Haru." The young woman vowed.

Bending down, she kissed her dead mate's brow, and gently closed his eyes before rising and letting out a loud and grieving howl. From all across the battlefield, responding howls arose, creating an eerie and haunting melody. And with that, the surviving shapeshifters all shifted to their animal forms and fled the battleground, with the young female wolf from before leading the group, with her head and tail high.

With that, the shapeshifters disappeared from history and into human society, hiding in plain sight with the other humans…


How was it? This is really my second fic, but I'm writing it simultaneously with my first fic, Love In the Amazon. Please review! I'd love to hear from you!
