Auradon Prep was easily the safest place in all of Auradon. As it was filled with the children of the royal families, there were a lot of safely precautions in place. Every single one of the royal families agreed that, while they were all very anti-magic, they were willing to make an exception for the school. As a result, Fairy Godmother created a magical security system, it could detect any sort of threat to the school and properly warn the occupants of the school.

No one had actually ever experienced that security system, all the villains were off on the island and most of the newly created evil doers didn't make it to the school. Fairy Godmother knew the system worked and it helped everyone sleep a little better at night, but no one actually knew what happened when the system was triggered.

Turned out it was an alarm, a very, very loud alarm completely with flashing lights and Fairy Godmother's voice, amplified over the siren to let them all know there was an emergency and to follow the safety procedures laid out in the student handbook.

The problem being that no one had ever actually bothered to read the handbook, let alone the part that talked about the safety procedures.

"What are we suppose to do?" Scarlett shouted, her hands clapped over her ears.

"What?" Audrey replied, her own hands held up to block out the sound.

"Where do we go?" Scarlett's voice raised, trying to be heard. Audrey just looked at her, confused. Scarlet sighed yanked the blankets from her legs. Everyone had just been heading to bed when the alarms went off. She walked over to the other bed and did the same for Audrey, dragging her out.

"It's so loud." Audrey whined. Scarlett simply dragged her out of the room and into the hall where everyone else was milling about awkwardly. "There." Audrey pointed up at the ceiling. Barely visible there were arrows, pointing. Everyone looked up, following the arrows in a large group. Everyone in their PJs, no one really taking it seriously. After all, nothing bad could happen at Auradon Prep.

"This is a security system right? I mean, this is a big deal."

"I doubt it." Lonnie shouted. "Who's going to attack Auradon?" Scarlet stared at her then looked back over her shoulder as if she'd see something. "Scarlett?" Lonnie asked. Scarlett jumped and headed forward with the crowd.

"Nothing just... nothing."


"Everyone, quiet!" Fairy Godmother shouted over the buzz of the students. The arrows had led them all to the dining hall, everyone stood together while the teachers all stood up at the front of the room. "There has been a break in at the school."

Those words set everyone off the buzz turned into a dull roar, then a louder roar as everyone freaked out.

"Quiet!" She boomed. "We have professors walking the halls, we are going to find the person who broke in, in the meantime, for the safety of our students, we will be having a sleep over of sorts." She clapped her hands and sleeping bags appeared in everyone's arms. "Girls on the left, boys on the right, Any professor not walking the halls will be patrolling here for anyone breaking the rules." She warned.

"Someone broke into the school? Why? What if they're looting the rooms. What if they steal my family's jewels?" Audrey turned to Scarlett with wide eyes.

"I don't think that's really what everyone should be worried about right now." Scarlett looked around, confused as the Royals worried about their belongings.

"Scarlett, no one is going to come after us. There are too many us." Audrey shook her head.

"That's why they bring us to the dining hall, we're easier to pick off." Chad walked up behind them, placing a hand on Audrey's shoulder.

"Oh my god, Chad, why would you even say that."

"The wolves always pick off the stragglers." Jay appeared in front of them, his eyes on Chad's hand. Scarlett's eyes widened and she stared up at him.

"What?"

"Wolves-"

"Hush, Jay." Audrey scolded. "You know Scarlett doesn't like W-o-l-"

"I can spell." Scarlett interrupted.

"Right... of course."

"Okay, enough." Chad took his hand from Audrey's shoulder. "No more wolf talk." Scarlett looked up at him with thanks and she gripped her sleeping bag a little tighter and moved with Audrey towards the left side of the room. They put down their bags and Audrey crawled right in, laying down and falling asleep. Scarlett smiled softly at the girl, but she knew she'd never get to sleep tonight. She sat down on her sleeping bag settling in for a night of worrying.

"Scarlett." She turned to look and Chad was in the aisle between the girls side and boys side. She glanced around before getting up and stepping over people to get over to him.

"What's up?" She asked, whispering.

"You okay? I know the wolf thing tends to freak you out." Chad took her hand and led her off to the side. "It's not left or right, they can't get mad at us."

"Doesn't mean they won't." Scarlett pointed out. "And yeah... I'm fine. I know he wasn't saying something." She took a seat against the wall, sinking down to the floor. Chad sank down next to her and smiled. He had the Charming smile.

"At least we know it wasn't wolves who broke into the school."

"Yeah..." Scarlett glanced towards the door, as if the person was about to appear there.

"Scarlett?"

"Huh- Yeah, I mean, of course it wasn't a wolf it's just... Kind of scary, you know? I'm use to the farm, where it was definitely not safe, to here, where I thought it was suppose to be safe."

"It is safe. Really, This the first time anything like this has happened." Chad insisted.

"I'm starting to think that maybe I'm the problem." That was a like Scarlett out and out knew she was the problem.

"You, most definitely aren't a problem." Chad leaned over to bump against her.

"Thanks." Scarlett shook her head. 'But you don't know-"

"I know everything I need to. I know that you, Scarlett Edon, are the opposite of the problem."

"I'm a solution?"

"You're The Solution."

"You're a dork." Scarlett let out a laugh then covered her mouth, looking to see if anyone was watching them.

"Yeah, but I'm okay with that." Chad nodded. He hesitated a moment, then leaned in, as if to kiss her.

"Fairy Godmother! Fairy Godmother!" Merryweather came running into the dining hall, huffing and puffing. "You have to see this!"

"Merry, calm down." Fairy Godmother hurried down the aisle, shushing the woman. "What's going on?"

"You have to see this." Merryweather repeated. "It's-" She looked at Scarlett and quickly cut off her words. "Just come with me." She begged. Fairy godmother glanced at Chad and Scarlett before following after Merryweather. Scarlett waited ten seconds before jumping up and following, Chad close on her heels. They nearly ran into Fairy Godmother's back, the woman stopped so abruptly.

Scarlett stepped around her, looking at the words on the wall. She gasped, covering her mouth with her hand and stumbled back. On the floor sat a dead chicken, on the walls, written in the chicken's blood, was

"The Big Bad Wolf is coming for you, Little Wolf"


Author's note: So I definitely meant to get more writing done today than I have so far, but there is still time. I have decided this is going to be a duology. This story is going to be pretty long as well. I've got a lot of story in me. Reviews are appreciated, and thank you for reading.
