Disclaimer: I don't own Gakuen Alice or any of its characters, the plot is somewhat borrowed by the manhwa A love in 100 days but the story will change and be my own.
"Mikan!" a cry came from behind me. I ran. Matrimony's right behind me. I try to fly. Come on; come on, just a little bit more.
"Oof!" I fall to the ground that was only inches below my feet. That's my record. Three inches, I can't go any higher.
"Nice try sweetie" I hear Matrimony say as she takes the Keepsake Crystal from me. The red alarms are blinking, a sign that someone broke into an angel's sanctuary.
"And here comes the security" She looks at me for a moment as five angels dressed in matching blue and gold uniforms fly toward us. She helps me to my feet and says "You better run girly because if they catch you here it's a one-way ticket to the higher ups' palace."
The higher ups' palace is where all the older and powerful angels live. They are in a sense the rulers of heaven. They manage it and keep things in control. So if I were to get caught right now and taken to the palace, lets just say I can kiss my dream of being a powerful angel goodbye. And so I sprint as fast as I can with my two feet. I hurry and hide behind tall trees as the five celestial beings fly over me looking for the little thief that broke in.
I know it sounds a bit strict; the fact that we get striped of our duties by doing a small crime, but it's the way things are around here. Being an angel is a big deal, not just anyone can be one, you need to be talented at something, be kind, be intelligent and most of all, you have to be an exemplary model. This means not breaking into sanctuaries and stealing other angels' crystals.
I hide behind large twin trees, their thick brown branches cover me from head to toe. The five angels look around them, searching for me. One of them seems to spot me; He flies down and stands parallel to me behind the tree. He puts his hand on the tree and takes a step towards me.
"What is it Kitsuneme?" Someone asks from above. Kitsuneme who's about to reply stops mid sentence, he looks back at me and there's a recognition in his eyes. Then to my surprise he grins at me and turns around to say to the others
"Nothing. Just a cat." He turns around and says "Nothing here boys lets try the east wing" I peak to see them nod and fly off together.
I sigh in relief. I look up to make sure that all the guards are really gone then turn around and make my way deeper into the mysterious forest. I take pride in knowing every place in heaven as I spent most of my free time searching and exploring every corner of its forests and lakes.
But as I ventured deeper into the forest I realized that the odd shapes of trees and the ominous birds that sang lowly with my every step were completely new to me. I didn't know this part of heaven and I would've turned around and sprinted out of this creepy place if I didn't see something dark in the distance. My curiosity peaked, nothing in heaven is dark. It's always bright and colorful everywhere you see.
So to see something distinctly dark and ominous would come as a surprise to anybody in heaven. I slowed as the dark building it appeared to be came into view. It was a deep and dark shade of red. Not as dark as blood but darker then any shade of color seen in heaven.
I stood in front of it for a heartbeat getting a bad feeling in my gut. I ignored it and stepped through the creaking wooden door.
I didn't know then just that what I would find in the building would change and shake me from inside out.
…
"Luna! Luna don't!" came a shriek from somewhere in the dark room.
"Don't stop me. I've had enough of you all. I'm done and you guys kiss my ass for all I care."
"Luna please stop. We can talk about this. You don't have to do this; there are other ways to fix this." It was a shaky masculine voice that came from beside the shrieking woman.
A bitter laugh escaped from the 17 year old girl that sat on her window, her feet dangling dangerously on the other side. With her face illuminated in the moonlight as she sat on her window ledge five stories high she was a strikingly beautiful picture. If anything the laugh lit up her face and gave her the glow similar to that of a moon goddess.
"Yeah? Well the situation was beyond repair when you married her" She pointed her finger accusingly in the dark. She put her head to the side and breathed exasperatedly. "Okay, enough." Luna breathed deeply into the night air and gave a bitter smile as tears fell through her eyes. She took a shaky breath and closed her eyes as she fell off the window and to her impending death.
Cries and screams of despair could be heard from everywhere in the dark room and when they all ran simultaneously to look over the window and see what had happened to the beautiful girl that had sat there only moments before they saw nothing but a small figure with dark liquid pooling out.
…
The inside of the building looked a lot like the outside. Dark gray walls and a murky wooden floor lay inside. There was no furniture, not a single place to sit or lay. On the far corner of every room in the building there was a long desk where someone had put papers in an organized manner.
I sauntered forward and read the big red letters on every stack of paper. I went through the different stacks of papers which appeared to all have lists of names. Names of people that I didn't recognize.
These are probably the names of the people that the higher ups are going to promote for angel duty
'I wouldn't put it past them to already have their eye on someone' I said back to the voice in the back of my head. But this peaked my curiosity, what if that's true! Maybe my name is on the list.
As I rummaged through the stacks of papers something caught my eye. I dug deeper for it and pulled it out of the mess. LIST OF PEOPLE TO DIE IN THE NEXT 100 DAYS. There in red bold letters it was written clearly.
I don't know what it was that made me unclip the papers so that I could read it. Some would say it was a sixth sense, or a gut feeling, others would call it a premonition. But I say that it was the sick way my stomach hurled.
I looked through each paper carefully, not knowing what I was looking for but at the same time feeling that I knew exactly what I was. This kind of thing belonged in hell or in the higher ups palace, what was it doing in the middle of a forest? I felt bad about going through the papers, they were no doubt confidential and I knew that if I got caught looking through them I would be in big trouble. Well, I thought since I had already started digging myself a hole why not keep going deeper?
The list was alphabetical order; I went through the first hundred pages swiftly not recognizing a single name. I wondered briefly if these people who'll die will come to heaven. I was on some million or billion page not knowing why I was still paying close attention to every name and why my hands seemed to have a mind of there own when something caught my eye
Hyuguchi Natsuki, Hayate Naruto, Hibichi Namano, Hyuga Natsume, Hayana Natsuki, Hassan Nouman, Heatherfield Nana
I froze. I read it again. Hyuga Natsume. Again. Hyuga Natsume.
"No" it was barely a whisper and the word seemed choked up
