Ch.1 Something Off
BEEP! BEEP ! BEEP !
An alarm clock rang through the pink-covered walls of the attic/bedroom. A sleeping girl is suddenly caught off guard and quickly jumps out of bed. It was a beautiful morning outside.
Marinette then remembered school and looked at the time. 7:30. Her left eye twitched alittle to the digits displayed on the digital clock.
"Oh no! I'm gonna be late!" In a rush the blunette descends down the staircase rather quickly, almost tripping a couple of times.
"Good morning Maman!" The mother of the girl was a short woman, with kind grey eyes, and blunette hair, just like Marinette's. She wore a gown with a red leaf on the bottom left.
"Good morning dear!" She gently places a kiss on her daughter's cheek.
"You should hurry and get ready, school starts in 30 minutes." Marinette's mom reminded her in a sweet tone. Marinette quickly got all dressed up within 10 minutes and was eating her breakfast, or was attempting to. She ended up tipping the cereal box onto her breakfast.
"Ugh! Why am I total klutz!" She shrieks. Sabine (Marinette's mom) only smiles at her daughter's miss fortune.
"There there honey."
"Thanks Mom." Her dad, Tom, a big bulky man, twice as tall as his wife, possibly even more. He had a short mustache below his nose and right on top of his lips. He may have looked menacing, but you could tell he had a humongous heart.
"Good morning dear, and don't forget this." Tom hands Marinette the box full of macaroons.
"Thanks!" She looks at a nearby clock and says 7:55.
"EEP! I only have five minutes left I gotta go bye guys!" and with that she took off to get to her school. Luckily for her, it was right around the corner. Unfortunately she had to wait until the lights turn green for the crowd to walk to the other side. Marinette reached there when she noticed an old man with a red shirt with Hawaiian flower patterns on it with a pair of cacky tanned pants. He had a mustache with a goatee, and he looked Chinese. Clearly he was struggling to cross the street as a random car was about to hit the poor fool. Luckily for him, Marinette quickly dragged him to safety only to trip and fall face first. The box spilled allot of the macaroons that were now lying all over the floor.
"Are you ok sir?" Mari spoke with a hint of worry. The old man could only smile at this
"I am fine dear, thank you." Marinette quickly offered him a macaroon and he enjoyed it. The tardy bell rung alerting Marinette it was time to get going.
"Ah! I'm going to be late and on the first day too!" with that the girl bolted across the street to her school. The old man turned around and spotted a red orb, floating and glowing quite brightly, but no one seemed to notice it. The old man had a look of panic as the orb floated towards where the pig-tailed hero had ran off too.
"Oh no…" he muttered under his breathe.
Class had started and things seemed… tense. Well that was the impression Marinette kept getting when she walked into the classroom. She noticed the students were giving each other wary glances at each other. Kim was literally shivering in fear. Max was giving wary eyes to his surroundings. Alec had a scared look on her face, while sitting down. Ivan and Mylene were hugging each other. (Aww how cute they are so meant for each other!). Then there was Nino, who had his headphones out. He didn't seem to care compared to the rest, but if looked hard enough, you could see the beads of sweat running down his brow. A girl who Marinette doesn't know is furiously typing on her phone. She seemed rather cheery. Then there was Sabrina, who also had a look of fear, and was cowering on her desk jerking her head left then right as if something was to pounce onto her. Then there was Chloe, Marinette's tormentor, was just checking herself out in the handheld mirror she held with her left hand, while using the right to 'fix' her hair.
Marinette decided to sit next to the rather happy amber haried girl.
"Um…" Marinette started off.
"Oh Hi ! My name's Alya! Are you Marinette?" Marinette was taken aback by the sudden loudness of her voice, but also because she had guessed her name! What is going on?
"Um… Yeah, he- how did you know?" Marinette was clearly startled by this girl. Something was clearly off, but she didn't know what. Alya saw how nervous the poor girl was, so she decided to help ease her up a bit.
"I've heard about you from someone…" Alya left such a vague answer. Marinette was about to continue, but was interrupted by the teacher. , a gentle women, but still strict. She also looked paranoid, but composed herself the best she could.
"Class, we have a new student joining us today…" She gulped before continuing.
"… Adrien Agreste…"
Out the door came a boy, blonde hair as golden as the sun, a white jacket with a black shirt with three lines at the chest area. He wore blue jeans, and had orange sneakers. He had eyes as green as jade. He put a small smile up and spoke.
"Nice to meet you my fellow classmates, I hope to have a great time with you guys this year." Now there was a sudden shift in the atmosphere. Something was seriously wrong, that was all Marinette knew, as she stared into the boys deep green eyes with curiosity. It made her so sick that she had to ask Ms. Bustier to go to the restroom.
Marinette ran straight for the bathroom, leaving behind her backpack and the box of macaroons. Little did she know, she wasn't the only one going there.
"Wh-why was the classroom so intense, I couldn't even breathe…" Marinette spoke her thoughts to only a reflection of herself in the bathroom mirror. She splashed the faucet water onto her face.
"Hey there Maritrash!"
"Wh-who are you?!" She demanded to the mysterious striped yellow female.
"Hmp… potential huh?" The striped stranger mocked.
"Chloe?!" Marinette guessed
"Well, you aren't that ignorant… I'll give you that." Chloe sneered.
"Why are you dressed like that?!"
"It doesn't matter, not when you're as good as dead!" Chloe threw her spinning top directly at Marinette.
"Eep!" Marinette could only mutter. She managed to barely dodge the attack, and ran straight into a bathroom room.
"Aww what's the matter Mari-trash, are you scared?" Marinette didn't give a response.
"Good…" She gave with a venomous tone. The bee-wearing murder threw her spinning top and made a hole thru the door. Marinette quickly dodged that and slid under to the next bathroom. Luckily Chloe didn't see her going to the second one.
"Come on out little bug!" And she blew the door open.
"What the Hell, Where the fuck did you go!" She screeched. Chloe whipped her head at the door that slowly came to a close.
"You Bitch!" And the bee went after the poor girl.
'What am I going to do! I can't go back to class, everyone will be put to danger!'
"Hey what are you doing leaving the school?! Do you have a hall pass!?" the school monitor demanded from her.
"Sir listen to me! Someone is trying to kill me!"
"Did you hit your head or something?!" He asked in concern.
"Mari-trash! Get your ass over here!" The bee screeched.
"What the hell is that!?" he demanded. Marinette only bolted out the main entrance.
"I'm out of here!" And with that the monitor ran while throwing his arms in the air. Chloe only ran after her. Little did she know a certain black cat and a sly fox were watching the whole scene.
"Tsk…" the cat hissed and ran after the two.
Chloe got out of the school and ran to the left, straight for the bakery. Marinette only hid around the corner. The bee passed the clever girl. Once she was out of sight for sure, Marinette got up and went straight to school, only to come across a red glowing ball of light.
"Ahh!" Marinette only jumped back, startled. The ball of light only moved closer towards her. Marinette only backed away in response.
"I-is this some kind of joke!?" She asked to the ball. She was soon interrupted by someone wearing a black cat suit. He landed in between Marinette and the ball of light. The pesky cat carried the shocked girl bridal style and jumped straight towards the bakery.
"That damn bee…" He muttered under his breathe, Marinette heard him clearly though.
Once they reached the balcony, he set her down onto her feet. The blunette had a million questions swarming in her head.
"Are you ok?" The stranger demanded.
"Am I ok?" Marinette started to chuckle rather nervously.
"What is going on here!? Why was Chloe trying to kill me?! What was that ball of light? W-Who are you?! A-are you gonna kill me?!"
"Hell No! That is the last thing I want to do to you, I" The cat boy stopped himself.
"Ok…" That's all she could say, I mean what do you expect her to say, she was nervous as it is.
"Can you tell me exactly what happened?" The cat boy demanded, but in a calm voice. His eyes had worry all over it. But the most important element was, mystery.
"Uhhh… Your Name! I mean Name! Ugh…" Marinette became a stuttering mess. She composed herself the best she could.
"What's your name?" She managed to speak.
"Chat Noir…"
"Ok Chat… I'll tell you what happened.
"That girl's got spunk!" A familiar voice ran through the atmosphere.
"Grrr…" Chat could only growl. Marinette quickly hid behind Chat Noir.
"Relax girl I'm not gonna harm you, If anyone should be harmed, it's that stupid Bee. Man when I get my hands on that girl I'm gonna." Marinette was still rather alarmed at the random fox girl who also seemed familiar.
"Voplin stop it!"
"Right sorry… Did I interrupt something…" She gave this shit-eating grin implying something that made chat blush to the shade of a tomato. The blue-eyed girl was only confused.
"Ugh I can't believe she would do this!" Volpin screeched.
"I do, and it makes me pissed, I want to kill that bitch so badly!" Marinette only shivered at the mention of being killed.
"Hey your scaring the poor girl!"
"Hey I purromise not to hurt you… purrincess." Chat leaned in onto Marinette.
"Di-did you just pun!" Marinette screamed. Volpin was just as shocked. The boy just gave this nervous smile, with a huge blush not even that mask could hide. Now that Marinette got a good look at him, he had messy blonde hair, with cat-like ears protruding out of them. His eyes resembled that of a cat. For god -sakes he even has a bell. Marinette just giggled at his ridiculous costume. Her knight in shining spandex more like it. Volpin also started to laught at the sight of the giggling girl. Chat only stared in awe.
"I hate to interrupt… Just kidding I love to interrupt this disgusting display of whatever this is but…" Chloe shows Marinette's parents in the string of her spinning top.
"Maman! Papa!" Marinetee ran to the balcony railing, both hands gripping onto the railing.
"Queen Bee this had gone far enough!" Volpin spoke.
"Ha what's an incomplete miraculous gonna go huh! May I remind you I have all of Bebe's power!"
"Why you…" Volpin muttered. Marinette had tears escaping her eyes.
"Let them go please, they're good people I – I'll do anything!" Marinette was desperate, she needed her kind- loving parents to be safe, away from harm.
"Hahahaha, yes that's right! Scream for your parents!" Within seconds Chat Noir had landed a devastating blow with his extendable staff onto the bee right in the stomach, making the air escape from her lungs.
"Gumph" And she started coughing up blood. She immediately got on her knees on the and de-transformed back into regular old Chloe clutching onto her stomach. Her parents were free from the spinning top thread. Chat screamed Cataclysm. His hand had a dark aura radiating from his left hand. He then went to touch Chloe in a weakened state. Marinette didn't know why but something bad was definitely gonna happen.
"Chat Noir Stop! Don't kill her you idiot!" Volpin now ran between the two. She was protecting the fallen bee, from the murderous black cat. Chat just kept coming closer, in a menacing way. Volpin held her staff-like flute ready to play something. She looked ready to fight back.
"Wh-what are you guys doing!? Stop!" Marinette brought the attention of the three animal wearing psychos.
"Alright, you take care of that insolent bee, all go put her parents back in the shop." And so Volpin carried Chloe back to wherever she was taking her too. As for Chat, he carried Marinette's parents back in the shop.
"Thank you Chat Noir, you really saved them…" Mari spoke in gratitude. Chat only nodded to her response.
"And if you get the chance can- can you thank Volpin too?"
"O-of course…" Chat spoke quietly. Marinette knew this was basically asking for it, but she now dared to ask.
"Ch-chat… just who are you?" An eerie wind blows heavily on the two. Leaves scattering in every direction. And all Chat did was look straight at her with green eyes of pain and mystery. Marinette could only stare back in concern, and wonder.
"Whatever you do, please." Chat was now inches away from her face.
"Don't accept Tikki…"
