It was dark. As if the world had crushed every single hint of light on it's way and even though the sky was clear there wasn't a single star to be seen. Distant noises could be heard but the alley where miss Dupain-Cheng walked was dead silent.
Marinette looked around hesitant. It wasn't the first time she got lost but this time took the cake for being the scariest of those times.
By her side was a small dog. By the looks of it, it was still a small puppy. Marinette hold him in her arms as he started whining.
"Neither of us is brave Hugo" She whispered a little spooked too. "Let's get out of here."
As she let out a sigh a loud noise was heared a few feet ahead making her stumble back in panic. Hugo, the little pup, started whining once more.
Two green orbs could be seen shinning ahead of the alley. They were eyes, piercing through her soul like sharp knives through a thin sheet of paper. Her body kept still, she wanted to run and scream but couldn't.
Her body was frozen in place, but inside, the panic boiled her alive. It was a strange uncomfortable feeling and she couldn't think of anything but wanting to vanish. She regretted wanting to take Hugo for a walk. Even more walking through paths she had never been in to before.
A strange knot strangled her from inside not allowing her to shout for help.
"Lost are we?" A low voice was heard from the person in front of her still hidden by the shadows. "Cat got your tongue?" A grin could be seen as he talked.
A little bell rang as he came a little closer, Marinette's eyes widen in horror as she noticed a large shiny bell that was a signature of the most dangerous man in Paris. As he walked closer, Marinette felt weak, her body warning her that if her panic didn't vanish she would faint right there.
"What is a little lady doing here?" He stood right in front of her gently touching her chin to lift her face to meet his gaze. "I'm amazed you haven't screamed or answered yet. Maybe the Cat really got your tongue."
"I'm lost..." She answered not quite sure if she should answer him or not. She was shaking but now her puppy wasn't. When the tall figure approaches he seemed to have calmed down but that was the opposite effect from Marinette.
He chuckle softly. "You're puppy don't seem to mind having the mighty Chat in front of him." He looked around and his body seem to relax like if he had let his guard down. "Where do you live?"
"T-the..." She didn't answered. I may have no hope from here but I cant let my parents in danger. She looked away. "If you have to kill me let my family out of this."
His body stiffened again and his face became serious and a little angry... like if he was... hurt. "I don't kill innocent people!"
Marinette looked up fear flooding through her giving it away. She didn't manage a response but he decided to take her silent as a doubt of his words.
"I promise I won't hurt you." He said more calmly as he inhaled sharply. His eyes tried to reach her in hope she could see his sincerity. "I know villains are always villains no matter what." He held her bridal style before she had any time to react. She finally screamed as Chat jumped to the roof holding her right in his arms. After a few block, he stopped at an alley close to the main road.
"Try not to adventure yourself into danger again princess." He kissed her forehead before disappearing again.
Marinette was confused but a heavy blush tainted her cheeks. Maybe he isn't that bad after all.
Author Note: So this was a really small story which I know I could have developed more. If you guys like it tell me so I can transform this into a serie rather then a small one-shot.
