Would You Believe?
Chapter 1: Dread
"Say, Tikki…"
Marinette's voice was soft in the dark room. She could not sleep. She had yet again saved Paris from an attack that day and needed time to overthink about what could have gone wrong – namely, everything.
"What is it, Marinette?" mumbled a drowsy Tikki as she lay cosily on the pillow.
"What if I were to… to not return from one of our adventures?"
This question seemed to shake the red Kwami out of her sleep. Shuffling next to Marinette, Tikki got up and flew above her Miraculous holder.
"That would never happen, Marinette! The power of luck follows you wherever you go."
"Then… what – what about Chat Noir?" Marinette choked out, imagining the worst case scenario behind closed lids. Quietly, patiently, she waited for an answer.
The hours felt longer that night.
