Chapter 1
Marinette gazes out at her classmates. Today was the day they would be given the test.
The test is actually a giant sword. The wielder taps your shoulders and decides whether you are worthy or not to gain your independence.
If you are not worthy, well, you don't want to not be.
Your independence, in Paris, is what your soul is. If your soul is evil, you may have charred skin and red eyes, a forked tongue and horns.
If your soul is good, you may have feathered wings and a halo, pale skin and bright eyes filled with hope.
Marinette really hope's she's on the good side. A few kids around her are pale, someone holds a trash can in the corner, their face green as they try not to puke.
Marinette feels like the kid in the corner. She gulps when the announcer steps up to the podium, tapping it
Immediately, the room falls silent. Everyone holds their breaths, seeing who will go first.
"Mylène Haprèle." The announcer calls.
The rainbow haired girl gulps, stepping up to the podium. Her already large eyes are doubled in size, fear clouding the pretty amber color.
The wielder steps out of the shadows, the testing sword in their hands. Per their mumbled request, Mylène bends down on one knee.
The wielder taps the testing sword in either of her shoulders. Once again, the room holds its breath as they wait.
White light flashes. As it dissipates, they can see Mylène looking at herself in wonder.
Her blonde hair shines gold, the colors intensified. She has small, white feathered wings resting on her shoulder blades. Her amber eyes have sparks of gold and bronze in them.
"Good." The wielder says in a rough voice.
Everyone claps, glad that the sweet girl had a good soul. They then fall silent, remembering that they might have to go next.
"Juleka Couffaine." The announcer calls next.
Marinette frowns. She isn't sure what Juleka might be. She has a kind heart, she's sure, she just has a strange way of showing it.
The dark haired girl stands up, walking towards the front of the room with seemingly no emotion. In her eyes, however, you can see the sorrow. Marientte wants to rush up there and give her a hug, comfort her.
Juleka turned out to be good. Kim, Alix, Alya, Nino, Ivan, Nathaniel, Rose, Max, Lila, Sabrina, and even Chloé turned out to be good as well.
Marinette crosses her fingers, praying that the whole class might be good. She hoped no one there was bad, everyone seemed to have a good heart.
"Adrien Agreste." The announcer calls.
As Adrien steps forward, Marinette pales. She was going last.
Adrien kneels down, and the wielder taps each of his shoulders. After the white light dissipates, Marinette tries not to drool.
Being good made Adrien even hotter. White feathered wings flow off of his shoulders, a glowing white halo around his head. His golden hair shines, his green eyes sparkling. His tan skin shimmers, causing Chloé to visibly giggle.
Marinette growls softly, barely hearing the wielder say "Good."
"Marinette Dupain-Cheng."
Marientte pales further, slowly getting off of her bench and heading for the front of the room.
Everyone had made it look so easy. Just kneel down, let the testing sword decide where you go, and bam, you're done.
Nope, that's not what happens.
Marinette shakes as she bends down, resting her hand on her knee. She flinches as the cold metal touches each of her shoulders.
This time, red light flashes. Her eyes widen as she looks down at herself. Her usually pale skin has a gray tint, her nails pointed.
Marinette feels a thing wrap around her waist and looks down. It's a red tail, the end tugging at her waist.
Her tongue flicks in her mouth and that's when she feels the forked end.
Marinette looks towards the class, her eyes widen and shining with tears.
"Evil."
I honestly have no idea where this came from. I think it had something to do with the show "The Good Place" and two fanfics I read...
I have no idea ;)
Anyway, if you find any grammatical mistakes, or just wanna review (that's always nice), then please feel free to do so.
I know that this would mean I have three stories going at once, I just couldn't reist...
Also, if you enjoyed this and would like to see another chapter, then please like or favorite.
*fans feathers, smiling at the audience*
Peacock out!
