Hello people, I am back in action! I can't ever stay with the same story! And it makes myself mad! I keep doing these little one-shots that I think I am going to continue, then don't! Grrrr! *Sigh* I guess I might as well keep writing. Bon appetite! (Why did I say that?)
Marinette was ashamed of herself. She was a hero, for heck's sake! She shouldn't fall for puppy dog eyes. But. But, she did anyway, dang it! Marinette exhaled slowly, babysitting Manon for even an hour was exhausting, let alone three. She glanced up at the sunny sky as she was dragged along and contemplated what she could do to get out of this.
Suddenly, she was brought to a halt. Finally, they stopped! "Manon, what are we doing at the park?" The mischievous child giggled, "Ice-cream!" The raven haired girl sighed, her mother had specifically said no sweets. And Marinette could tell why.
The girl was practically bouncing, full of energy. And sugar would only make it worse. "Manon, you can't have ice-cream. Your maman said no sugar!" The heroine scolded. Manon pouted, then perked up. Marinette watched the little girl warily, as if she would blow up any second, which was highly possible. What did she have up her sleeve?
Manon yelled, "Akuma!" Pointing at the sky. Marinette whirled around, confused when she didn't see anything out of the ordinary. While the designer was distracted, the sugar-addicted eight-year old took the opportunity to run.
Marinette turned around, a frown on her face, when she saw a blur race to the ice-cream stand across the street. Her frown turned into a horrified expression when she saw the bus whizzing towards Manon.
"Manon!" She screamed, running to save the petite girl from surely being killed. Her legs pumped, adrenaline and fear rushing through her veins. She had to save Manon. She had to. She lept, propelled towards the child frozen on the street. She hit her target, Manon skidded to the other side, seemingly unharmed.
However, Marinette wasn't unharmed. The bus slammed into her mid air, causing her to fly across the road and roll to a stop on the grass.
This was pain. The feeling was excruciating, causing her to writhe with pain, her body convulsing. Colors exploded behind her eyelids. She couldn't even think to scream. She felt something warm and liquidy oozing from several wounds. Blood. It choked her, she couldn't breathe. She was going to die, she knew it. People were screaming, kids were wailing and crying, but through the hazy madness, she saw a body running towards her. Golden blonde hair shining in the sun. When had she opened her eyes?
The person came to a stop, sliding on the ground to meet her. Her cradled her in his arms. "A-Ad… Adrie-en?" It was almost impossible to speak. "It will be okay, Marinette. The ambulance is coming," He whispered. Sirens. She hadn't noticed before. Her head fell limp, it was to hard to keep it up. She wanted this to end.
People carrying a stretcher ran towards her. They all blurred together to make a big blob. Her eyes were to heavy to keep open. It wouldn't hurt to close them and sleep, would it? No. She had to stay awake. For Tikki, her parents, Alya, Adrien, Paris, Chat.
She struggled to keep them open. She felt hands grab her body, and she screamed; the pain was to much. She tried to wriggle out of their grasp, but just ended up hurting herself more. She laid still as they strapped her to the stretcher. Her heartbeat started to slow down, she could feel it. She fought with every bit of strength to keep it beating. It started to speed up, back to an almost normal pace.
She focused on the people in the ambulance. They were moving frantically, trying to keep her alive. Her eyes shifted to the person who was holding her hand. His face was distorted with worry and horror as he clung to her hand. It took a lot of effort, but she managed to squeeze his hand and smile faintly. He smiled back, but it turned into a grimace when she moaned out in pain. "You'll be okay, Marinette. I promise you." She said nothing, since she couldn't speak without pain.
She felt the vehicle shift as it stopped, the doors slamming open as she was wheeled out of the ambulance, Adrien hot on her heels.
Everything started to blur again, this time, however, she couldn't stay awake, she felt so exhausted, tired. She closed her eyes. Vibrant green eyes were the last thing she saw before falling in a deep slumber.
By the way, guys, I do try and make lots of details, but to be honest, I suck. I can write it down in my head all the feeling and details that make it good, but as soon as I'm going to type, my mind goes as blank as a sheet of paper. Seriously. For a minute, I totally forgot what a computer was. Now that is sad. Anyways, I think I might update again today, IDK. And please do not review just to tell me to slow down my pace and add more detail, because I know and I am working on it. Also, sorry for such a short chapter. I will try to make them longer.
