Fire and Ice

Chapter 1: Prologue

--------------------------------------------------

"Mikan, honey, don't be sad." A beautiful women with golden hair got to her knees to give a little brown haired girl a hug.

"B-But I won't see you again until I graduate from high school," Mikan hugged her foster mother tightly as her eyes glistened with unshed tears.

"There, there. That's not entirely true you know," Her foster mother, Julia, scolded her, "If you want to come back home and visit me, all you have to do is get the best grades in your class."

Julia hugged Mikan to her again, then leaned back and wiped away the tears that were falling from her foster child's beautiful face.

"Ok, hun, you better go now, the limos waiting." Julia smiled at her foster daughter and kissed her forehead before silently pushing her towards the black limo that the academy had provided so Mikan would be safe on her journey.

"Bye," Mikan choked out before running to the limo and jumping in.

"We will meet again someday," Julia whispered as her tears began to fall.

The first hour of the limo ride was fun for Mikan because she simply did what any other kid of only 12 years would've done; she played with the numerous buttons.

Now, after she had remembered exactly why she was in the limo, Mikan just sat still and stared at her black leather gloved hands as bad memories rolled around in her thoughts.

She flinched when her memory of the first time she found out about her power came back to her.

Flashback

"Now make a wish and blow out the candles, Mikan!" Shouted an over enthusiastic Julia with a camcorder in her hand.

The camcorder was pointed at a little girl with brown hair that was tied up in piggy tails. She was sitting in front of a massive pink cake that said 'Happy 5th Birthday' in big red letters.

Mikan scrunched up her adorable little face and then blew out all five candles. Everyone clapped and cheered, and then Julia put the camcorder down and picked up the cake cutter.

As everybody was trying to get some cake, Mikan managed to slip away. She went up the stairs to get away from Julia's annoying work friends.

Since this was only the third day of her being with Julia, Mikan didn't have any friends. So, to make her feel popular, Julia had invited her work friends and their families to come celebrate.

Mikan sat on her bed and closed her eyes. Once she was done enjoying the silence, she opened her eyes to see a blonde girl staring at her with big sapphire eyes.

"Are you looking for the bathroom?" Mikan asked politely as she put on a fake smile. The girl innocently shook her head.

"No, I was looking for you," she smiled and sat down next to Mikan on the bed, "Nice to meet you, Mikan. My names Melissa."

Before Mikan could say anything in reply, Melissa produced a frozen flower out of thin air.

"Here's a gift for you, Mikan." The girl said with her overly sweet voice.

"Thanks, but how did you do that?" Mikan asked curiously. Melissa just shook her head and held out the ice flower to Mikan.

Mikan reached over to take it, but she got shocked. She tried again, and this time she was successfully able to take the ice flower.

Mikan looked it over with big eyes before looking back up to find the girl had already left.

It wasn't until a couple days later that Mikan discovered her Alice, when she accidentally froze the dishwater that she had been washing dishes in.

End Flashback

After that fateful day, Mikan had thought that the ice power she had was her own. She also thought that the Teleportation, Telekenetic, and flying powers, that she had acquired after walking through malls, were her own as well. Until one day when she saw that little blonde haired, blue eyed girl again. The girl was sobbing about losing something and her mother was scolding her for making up stories.

"But, mama," Mikan heard Melissa say as she walked past them, "I can't make the ice anymore!"

That was when Mikan's world came crashing down around her. She knew at once that she had stolen this girl's power. Ever since then, Mikan had never gone somewhere without her black leather gloves on because she had found that she could only steal the powers with her bare hands.

The door to the limo opened suddenly, scaring Mikan from her thoughts.

"We're here, Miss Mikan," the old limo driver said as he held the door open for her.

"Thank you." Mikan got out of the limo and nodded her head in gratitude for the free ride.

"No problem Miss," the old man said. He then got back into his limo and drove away.

Mikan turned around and her brown eyes grew as big as saucers when she saw the huge gate which led to her new school.

She was too busy staring at the gate and wondering how big the school was to notice that the gate had opened.

"You must be Sakura Mikan, am I correct?" Mikan was pulled from her thoughts. Her eyes came down to rest on the person who had just come out of the Academy.

"Hai, that's me." Mikan said as she looked over the person who had just spoken to her. He was probably in his late 20's and he had blonde hair.

"Well then, Mikan," the guy said with a smile on his face, "Welcome to Alice Academy!"
