Seb's P.O.V

The limo pulled up through the gates of Gakuen Alice and I saw the building that I hadn't seen in so long. Chess and Rezabella where pressed up against the glass, eating up the sight of there new found form of 'freedom' in slavery. Aki just stared at the building blankly, not really doing anything. Either he was in some serious denial, or he wasn't pretending to not care, he really just didn't give a shit.

When we the car came to a halt, we all stepped out, and I looked up at the sky, so filled with color as the sun set against the skyline of the academy. It looked just like something that happened right as 'And they lived happily ever after,' was written across the screen.

But in this story, there was no happy ending in sight.

"Hello, my name is Tono, Narumi was supposed to pick you up but he seemed to have disappeared." a man with long hair said. His voice was light, but you could tell that he wasn't happy about this 'Narumi' guys skipping out on picking us up.

"I'll show you your rooms." he says. He leads us to the building, chatting light heartedly along the way about the history and the groups and all the bullshit that I could care less about.

We are heading down a corridor where all the special star dorms are, when I see a familiar face.

"Natsume?" I ask, and his eyes snap towards me.

"Seb?" he asks, his forehead scrunching together. My team looks from him to me, wondering what the relationship between us could be. I mean, friends that were anywhere outside the academy where rare, practically unheard of. People with Alice's as strong as ours usually just disappeared one day, and where never heard of again.

"We got here a little bit early… how have you been holding up?" I ask him.

"Where is she?" he asks, his voice nearly laced with desperation.

I just shake my head.

In his eyes, I can practically see his heart shatter. His eyes get this dead look, and his fists clench together so tightly that you can see a drop of blood come out.

"Give her one more day, Natsume, then we will know for sure." I say. He simply nods his head and goes into the dorm on his right.

Its completely silent for awhile, before Tono finally breaks it.

"Well, this is your dorm room. Boys will be in this room, girls in the one next to it. Its connected by a door. I hope you will be comfortable. Welcome to Gakuen Alice." he says happily. We step into the boys side of the dorms and all sit down on the big, black couch.

"What the hell was that about?" asks Aki, as he casually flips through the channels.

"I met Natsume when I was here for awhile before I was shipped to Hell. We stayed in touch through letters." I say. "He told me about a girl that he was in love with, but he told me she was transferred away. I didn't think anything of it. That is until I realized that it was Alice. He was in love with Alice." I finish.

All there eyes were on glued to me.

"There is no way. Alice is a cold, heartless, ruthless killer. I doubt she would even be able to fall in love. And im not saying this to be mean, im just saying from what I've know of her, she has always been cruel. Do you think that she was really that different?" Rezabella asked.

"Did you always used to go on nightly missions and kill people? Did you always Hate living? Did you always know how to kill a person with any object in at least 7 different ways? I didn't think so. Its not that hard to believe. She was a regular before she was ruined." Aki says. He was right.

None of us used to be like this.

"Why did you say that we should wait just one more day?" asks Chess.

I sighed. "Im not really sure. I just have this weird feeling that she isn't dead. Maybe tomorrow will come and she still wont return. Maybe in this very second, she is dead. I don't know. We will have to wait until tomorrow," I say. Everyone nods wearily and we all part ways.

That night, I lay in bed, thinking of all the things that had happened over the past few days. We were out of Hell, into Gakuen Alice, and now we were just praying that Alice would come back.

But there is always a possibility she wont.

It was the not knowing part that was the worse.

"Come on, Alice, he is waiting for you. Just get yourself home," I whisper, sighing, before sleep overtakes me.

Narumi's P.O.V

I wake up in Mikan's room, her diary perched open on my chest. I take out my phone and check the time. Time to get ready for class, or im going to be late.

After going back to my room, I resist the urge to fall back in my bed and sleep for the next ten years, and get ready. As I walk into the classroom that already has students chattering happily, I sit at my desk and wait for the familiar ring of the bell.

"Hello, students, we are going to have to finish what we had started yesterday. I believe that we were at the lovely Chess when we stopped." I say.

"Thank you," I hear a voice say as the door opened. In walks four beautiful people, two boys and two girls.

"Who are you?" I ask.

"Well, im Chess, the one you complimented. This is Aki. That's Rezabella. He's Seb. We are here for security reasons." says Chess smoothly.

"Right. I thought there was supposed to be one more of you." I say. I see all there faces fall just a little, the atmosphere becoming a little darker.

"She is running late." says Aki shortly.

"Alright, would you like to take over from here. We went over all of you but Rezabella and Alice." I say.

"Well, Rezzy can do her own introduction and then we can give you a little more insight on ourselves." says Seb. I nod my head.

"My name is Rezabella. I am the 3rd strongest female Alice user in the world. My Alice is Distortion." says Rezzy.

"Its nice to see you all here, and thanks for coming. Now, what is Alice like?" I ask.

"Alice is probably one of the most bad-ass bitch you will ever meet." says Rezzy.

"She is the silent, terrifying type. Nothing stops from getting what she wants. She will always fight for what she wants." says Chess.

"Even if it means that she pries it out of your cold, dead hands. She will do it without the blink of an eye. And she will wake you from your eternal slumber if you got any blood on it." says Seb.

"In short terms, you mess with her, you don't live to see the light of day," Finishes Aki.

"She sounds terrifying." someone says.

"Oh, she is," says Rezzy.

But the still had a look in there eyes. You could tell that no matter how harsh the comments were, they weren't meant to insult her. They were simply telling her 'best' qualities.

They really did love her.

…

The day passed by slowly, and I was standing on the roof with all my students. The sky was dark and completely clear of clouds, just showing the bright, twinkling stars. I was teaching the Astronomy class as a substitute because the teacher was on 'vacation' off campus.

Everyone had there own telescope pointed at the sky, adjusting it as it was needed while I fiddled with mine. Just one more minor adjustment….

Good.

I look through the scope that was pointed on the ground below and put the lens into focus. A blurry object soon became a blurry figure. The blurry figure soon became a person, laying on the ground. The person because a girl, and the girl became so much more familiar.

She had chestnut brown hair that was only to her chin. Her dress was torn and bloody. She was just laying on the ground, her eyes focused on the moon shining brightly above.

It couldn't be.

No….

The more I looked at her, the more I knew. I knew exactly who that was.

I ran to the edge of the roof, leaning down over the railing, and looked down.

"M-I-K-A-N!"
