A gorgeous woman in her 20's can be seen outside the gates of this academy, she has short blond hair that reaches below her ear, which was divided more on the left side, her eyes were neither blue nor purple but some unique shade in between them, which were framed by long curly lashes and topped with perfect arched blond eyebrow, she has perfect nose, and reddish lips that are capable of laughter or sensual pout, she has the complexion of creamy ivory, her skin is smooth, soft and firm, she is wearing a v stripped ¾ length blouse which have colors of black and white which gives a contour of her perfect rocking body that any model will be very envious of, below the waistline, she's wearing a black pencil cut skirt that reached within her knees, which showed her perfect shins, as for the finishing touch, she is wearing black leather pumps that covered her dainty feet . In short, she is a gorgeous elegant and a professional looking young woman…

Beside her is man, also in his 20's He has a gray soft shiny gray hair which framed his angelic face, he has a very mesmerizing teal eyes, with long thick lashes below the perfectly gray eyebrows he has a perfect sculpted nose, and reddish kissable lips. He was wearing a gray colored business suit that almost matched his hair, but that didn't stop his body from showing how lean and muscular he is, he has black tie and is wearing a black leather shoes, he is such a very enchanting man.

" Hmmmmmmm… so this the school of the student that vanished eh? " the blond woman said

" Yeah, yeah, just push the damn doorbell already! Or are you planning to starve your fiancée to death? Or is it because you want me to die so that you can marry other men? You are so selfish Mara!" The gray haired man said as he pouted.

" Yoichi, this will only take for a few minutes, I need something to cover on my scoop, besides you can grab some food in the cafeteria of this academy, I just want to find out something" The blond woman named Mara said

Yoichi the gray haired man sighed at his fiancée's attitude, she had always been a curious person, she will always get or know what she wants no matter how it takes, she has a very strong confidence in herself, although she's not boasting about her achievements, nevertheless, her fiancée isn't the type to be trifled with, she always wants to be in advance stage, to be ahead of everyone else, no wonder she does great in her job as an editor in chief of Sparkle magazine, she always had a knack in things, and has the instinct and feeling about some things in this world, she can predict things at a perfect time, she can be very mysterious and all knowing, but at the same time, she can be an open book and stupid, but these are the traits that captivated him, he was always intrigued by her, as a result, he never loses his interest in her, and she never fails to surprise him once in a while, to top it all of, she knows how to make him happy, no matter how simple she does it, that's the reason why he is deeply attracted by her, she is one of those on-of-a-kind women who are very hard to find, and he's lucky to have her.

Mara pushed the button of the gates, the enormous gate opened and a guard was standing there, he was wearing a normal guard uniform, he then approached the couple and asked them

" Are you Ms. Mara Camille Javellana from Sparkle Magazine ? " He asked as he stared, no ogle at her, as a result her fiancee glared at the guard causing the poor guard to tremble a bit.

" Yes, I am she, I made an appointment with Mr. Kazu Yukihara, the highschool principal of this school and asked me to come here this day and time." Mara said curtly

" Ah, yes, he is waiting for you at his office ma'am, please go straight this way, then halfway down the road, there will be two intersections, one left and right, just walk straight to the left, when you find a huge cream colored building, just climb the stairs until the 2nd floor, you will be able to find his office there."

" Thank you, and do you mind telling me where the cafeteria is ?" Mara asked

" The Principal have refreshments there ma'am, so you don't have to worry " the guard said.

" Thanks again. Come on Yoichi, let's go ". Mara then pulled her fiancée away then headed straight to the Principal's office

At the Principal's office…..

The Principal's office is like the office of other Principals in schools, it has lots of bookshelves. Almost covering the cream colored wall. The floor was made of marble tiles that were polished to brilliant shine, at the center of the room is a pair of table and on the chair, sat the highschool principal, he has light brown hair and gray eyes, his nose and lips are perfect, he is tall and has a lean body, he was wearing a light brown uniform, general soldier ( a Mexican type of uniform ), he looks strict and well-disciplined man.

" Come to think of it , he's more than 50 years old, but he looks like he's in his early 30's" Mara mused while thinking.

She continued to scan in the room , at the left side of the table is a picture, it was a picture of the principal and a man, looking identical to him, but unlike the principal, the other man has a cheerful and carefree aura around him, as if he has no worries about the world, she was looking at the picture while Yoichi nudged her gently, that's the time she noticed, that the Principal is slightly coughing, obviously to catch her attention.

Mara blushed ten shades of red, she straightened her skirt then looked at the Principal, then he started the conversation.

" Welcome to Alice Academy, my name is Kazu Yukihara, You must be Ms Mara Camille Javellana editor in chief of Sparkle Magazine in Canada, and I presume the man beside you is your fiancée, Mr. Yoichi Hijiri, one of the most sought bachelors in Japan, and the heir of one of the richest pharmaceutical company in the world, alongside Cinq de Fliche pharmaceutical company, am I right?"

" Wow, he sure do know how to speak in English, I'm even worried about communication barriers that's why I persuaded, no forced Yoichi to come with me " She mentally thought.

" Mr. Yukihara, that is precisely correct, and I assume that you know why I'm here? " I asked questioningly

The Principal eyed Mara and Yoichi

Principal Kazu's POV:

I looked at the two people who are sitting at my office, I eyed Hijiri san first, he seems like a fine gentleman to me, though he is a bit mysterious, but what caught my eye is Javellana san, she was something rare, she carries an air of elegance and mystery, anyone can see it around her, especially if you look in her unique eyes, which are very unreadable, come to think of it, why is the editor-in-chief of a fashion magazine be

interested in something supernatural? But then her question surprisingly lingered to me, then I answered her.

" I have my speculations, Javellana san " I answered directly.

She smiled at me, and, as if reading my thoughts, she looked at me directly in the eye and said " Aren't you curious as to why a fashion magazine editor like me would tackle this kind of issue?" she stated formally.

I looked at her, trying to scrutinize her, what she meant, but failed, she's so unreadable, her expression is formal but it's not emotionless, just…just… unreadable, and it seems her fiancée noticed that I'm trying to figure her out, he suddenly snickered, he must know my predicament.

" To be honest, yes " I answered truthfully

She smoothly went to her subject of concern " Principal Yukihara, Trevor Hitsudaima is the 11th missing person in the highschool section of this academy, then why is it the academy is not making any move about this case? Or rather cases, not to mention that his family and entire wealth just vanished in a blink of an eye yesterday, why aren't you notifying the police about this?" She said in a perfect alarming fashion

I sighed and bowed, remembering the past rescue operations that occurred, just by looking at her, I know, she wants answers, and will get them by hook or by crook, so I was left with no choice, better not to risk the reputation of the academy, I said to myself, so I answered her without any hesitations

" You see, Javellana san, it all happened 6 years ago, it all started when some of the students in the elementary division suddenly vanished… They were found the other day, so we assumed that it was just simple tantrums of the kids, but it got hysterical when my nephews and niece started to disappear too….

Flashback: 6 years ago

" What do you mean they didn't went home!" Izumi Yukihara, the father of the trio asked the head maid of their mansion

" Izumi sama, we really don't know, the driver of the limo said that he had been waiting for the children outside the school, he even looked for them everywhere in the vicinity but they are nowhere to be found….." the head maid hysterically said

That same night, the whole school had been busy, we all cancelled the classes for 3 days just to look for them, the whole faculty and staff labored day and night just to look for them, we even contacted lots of kidnappers but they are nowhere to be found. As a result, my brother, Izumi was hysterical, he doesn't have any appetite and he lacked sleep, he was restless the moment his children are missing and he can't seem to calm down, he keep on blaming himself he's always worried about them, wondering if they are sleeping alright, or eating alright. I really felt sorry for him, and I'm worrind about my nephews and niece as well, I told him that everything will be alright, but he wouldn't believe me, not one bit… then he silently and sadly went to his bedroom.

The next day I caught him packing some things up, I got worried, although I didn't show it on my face, I interrogated him that day…..

Flashback ( 5 days after the children's disappearance )

" Where are you going?" I asked nonchalantly as I approached Izumi

He gave me a determined look, a sign that nobody can stop him from doing what he's going to do " I'm going to look for my kids….."

"And where are you intending to look for them?" I asked raising an eyebrow, but suddenly, realization hit me, my eye widened while staring at him " Wait, you know where they are? " I blurted out

He gave me a knowing but mysterious look" Yes, but the one who found them insists that I go alone, or else they will be harmed " he said.

Anger and rage swept over me, is he telling me that it's not my business to find the children too? They are his family and the kids are precious to him too, they have spent looking for them for days and here he comes suddenly, all mighty and all knowing saying that he knows where the kids are?

Without further ado, I grabbed the collar of his shirt then with a swift movement of my wrist ,I gave him uppercut, damaging his jaw ( wow….. seriously?) he was thrown in the sky and by virtue of gravity, landed roughly on the floor with blood oozing from his lips.

I glared at him the moment he sat up, with anger in my voice I yelled at him " who do you think you are shouldering all of these? Do you think you're the only one who is worried about these children! Everyone, practically, everyone are worried, it concerns not only you Izumi, but all of us, this house is lively when they are around, it is a home actually, the moment they were born, they bring happiness in this house, we're all in these together and we fix this mess! Or did you forget that you idiot!"

He sighed, he bowed, his face covering his eyes, in a whispered tone he said " Brother, please understand, this is not the situation where we can all comply together, the condition only concerns me, impossible as it seems to be, I have no choice but to do this, I promised Yuka before she died that I will care for our kids, love them and protect them with all my might, they are the most precious gifts to me brother, and as their father, I won't allow them to be harmed even if that means sacrificing myself to him!" He shouted desperately.

He leaned back to his swivel chair, closed his eyes and sighed

"From the tone of his voice, I knew he was hiding something from me, I forced him to tell me before his departure, but it seems his lips are sealed, so he went away…."

"It was almost a week and he didn't return, nor the kids, I've sent a search party for them, but the search party never returned, it's as if they are preventing us from knowing something, from finding out something….. then one day, I heard rapping from the window, in this office, I looked up and saw a man from the search party , had returned, he was full of bruises and he was shaking with fear, always looking on his left and right, it's obvious he was hysterical, we brought him to the hospital immediately, we want to give him sedatives but he insisted not to, and forced himself to talk to me….."

Flashback ( at the hospital )

Principal Yukihara, he said in between breaths…

" yes, what is it?" I asked. He looked at me directly and said the most surprising thing and the last thing I want to hear. " I …..I found them Principal, I found Yukihara sensei and his children…"

I was shocked , but nevertheless I continued to press him for information.

He answered me in a weak voice " They are in the Northern forest in Jansei…. In a village called A.D." He said.

I was about to call and send troops to Jansei, but he grabbed my arm, stopping me from what I was about to do…

" Don't, Principal Yukihara, it's dangerous" His voice was quivering.

" Why!" I asked suddenly enraged. Doesn't he know that I'm worried for my family?

But he continued to look at me with pleading eyes " Please, Principal, this is for your own safety, if you go there, he will….. they will….they will …they will…d-d-dd-

" Who are these people you are talking about?" I asked impatiently, that person continued to stammer, what was he scared about? Am I some kind of monster or what!

But he continued to quiver, when suddenly, he looked behind me, his eyes widened….

" They are hereeeeeeeeee! They are hereeeeeeeeeeeeee! Somebody! Somebody save meeeeeeeee! Help meeeeee! I don't want to be a carcass! Please! Please!I won't open my mouth anymore just spare me! " he started shouting. I was taken aback and looked behind me, I saw nothing.

I gripped his shoulder very hard, wanting to shake him out of his reverie, but he continued shouting like crazy repeating the same words, the nurses rushed in the room, as soon as they heard the commotion, they tried to pin him down, but he was persistent in escaping their grasp, in the end, they injected him some sedatives and anti-anxiety medications, I shook my head in disdain, my only source of information had gone over the edge, I started to doubt his info about Jansei, until later that morning…

I was walking back to the hospital, when I heard a bloodcurdling scream in the garden of the building….

I rushed immediately to where the scene was, I almost fainted the moment I saw the scene…..

There, sitting on the pavement , was the man I spoke a while ago, his blood was splattered through the wall and on the ground, his head was twisted to the side, but it was shrunk, his brain was obviously missing, his bones are almost sticking out of his flesh, looking down on his body almost made me sick, his chest was broken apart, as well as his ribs, his heart was nowhere to be found, then his abdomen was the worst, his insides were scattered on the ground his intestines were torn apart, looking at it, I noticed that the liver is gone too, his arms and legs are full of bruises, his wrist and ankles were bluish in color, obviously, he was grasped very hard…

I was about to report this when we saw a note on the ground…. It says….

" NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO KNOW ABOUT THE A.D. village!"
