Marinette
I tapped my foot impatiently, casting my gaze around the school. "Where is she?" I asked myself quietly, a hint of concern im my voice. "Marinette." A tiny voice called to me from the bag resting at my hip. I looked down at the small red Kawami that poked its head out of my purse. "You have a message." She squeaked happily, raising my phone out of the purse. I smiled sweetly at her, "Thanks Tiki." I said, grabbing the phone she had held out for me. Pressing a button on the side and swiping my pattern showed my message. 'Hey girl, Sorry, but i'm going to be late for class. Go on without me!' Alya's message read.
I sighed, doing as she said. I walked up the stairs to the entrance to the school. Students could be seen hanging out in the courtyard, conversing amongst themselves. As I was about climb the stairs onto the second floor, I heard an irritating squeal. "Adrikiiins~!" It had come from behind a partially closed door and peeked my interest. With a suspicious look, I crept over to the door, pressing my back against it. With a deep breath I leaned to the right, peering around the corner. My eyes widened at the scene that unfolded in front of me. With a shocked gasp, my phone fell of my hand, clattering loudly on the floor. Not waiting for the reaction of those I had spied on, I turned and ran.
The clatter had not only rung through that room, but through the courtyard. Many turned to look at me, confused at the loud sound. My classmates called out to me in concern, but I ignored them. I descended the stairs outside the school only to be met face to face with Alya. She caught me, her brown eyes wide in concern. My ears rang as tears filled my bluebell eyes. Her mouth moved, but I heard nothing. Sabrina appeared next to her, concern apparent on her face as well. I clung tightly to Alya's shirt, burying my face into the fabric as I shook. "A-Adrien…" I whimpered out as my knees buckled and I fell to them. "Adrien Agreste!" I could hear Alya's angry howl over the pounding in my ears.
She moved out of my way, going to lecture the boy who had broken my heart, I presumed. I pushed myself to stand before taking off once more. Sabrina and others that had gathered around called out to me, but gave no chase. Part of me had secretly wished they had followed, that they cared enough to calm me. A small part of me cracked at that thought. It felt as if I were looking at myself through a broken mirror. The rest of the day was a blur of tears and anguish. Somehow I found myself in a dark alleyway with no recollection of how I got there. My eyes burned and my face stained with tears.
The concrete I sat on was cold and the wind chilled me to the bone. It didn't help that it was almost dark. The sky was dark with little patches of orange and pink in the setting sun's wake. I don't know how long I sat there. Long enough that the stars began to shine in the Midnight sky. The soft flutter of dark purple wings floated slowly toward me, settling itself in my black earrings. "Hello Missfortune, I am Hawkmoth. In return for getting me ladybug and chat noir's miraculous', I will let you bring misfortune to those who have hurt you." A deep dark voice bellowed. I shook my head, trying to refuse the villain's offer. "Do not fight it, child. You will have your sweet revenge soon enough." I could sense the annoyance in his voice.
I wanted to scream, to reject his offer, but by the minute, it became more and more tempting. Finally getting back at all those who had hurt me. Showing Adrien what it had felt like to chase after something you could never quite catch. Show the others how it felt to always doubt yourself, to always have insecurities that could not be mended. Yes…. that sounded pleasant. But a small voice screamed at me, a part of my golden heart reaching out to me. I pushed it down. Maybe it should let itself rest while I do the dirty work. "Yes Hawkmoth, that sounds delightful." I tell him, an oddly satisfied grin stretched upon my face. Black malice spread across my body, replacing my clothing with a skin tight suit that resembled Ladybug's.
The red had been replaced by a dark ominous purple with black polka dots. The yoyo that rested at my hip followed the color scheme and had a purple ghoulish string. I reached up and pulled the ribbons out of my pigtails, letting them fall loosely the my neck. The hair felt stiff and uncomfortable, after it had been stuck in that place for quite a while. I shook it off, taking the yoyo in hand and swinging off to find my first victim. It was late and school had ended a long time ago. If I was lucky, the only person I'd find out was Chat Noir patrolling. Yes, he would make a perfect target. Letting out all of my frustration and annoyance out on him and getting his Miraculous hit two birds with one stone. Although, afterwards I'd at least want to give the person who started it all a little visit.
It fortunately didn't take long to find the little kitty. He had been perched on the Eiffel tower, where he went often to brood. I landed softly behind him, sure to make a little noise so he'd hear me. "M'lady?" He asked, turning around cautiously. "Hey kitty kitty." I said with a smirk, playing it off as if it were normal. Although his reaction did puzzle me. Where were the puns, and why did he seem so suspicious? His vibrant green eyes looked me over. He backed away slightly, "You're not My Lady." He said, a hint of anger in his voice. "You've always been a smart cat, Chat. Now give me your Miraculous and there will be no need for a cat fight." I said, a little annoyed at myself for using a cat pun. "W-What happened to you?" He asked, seemingly worriedly.
"Curiosity killed the cat, so let's skip the Chat." I mentally face palmed and I could tell Hawkmoth did as well. "Get on with it." Hawkmoth said, annoyed. "Shut it old man, i'll get you your jewels." I snapped, shutting him up before turning back to Chat. "Give me your ring or else the consequences will be most unfortunate." He shook his head. "Never! I know you're in there Ladybug, keep fighting!" He said, lunging at me.
Dun dun duuuun! What happens next? Who knows? Not even I, and I'm the damned writer! Sorry for the cliffy, but I'm tired. I wrote this at 1 in the morning and i couldn't sleep. So its about time for me to head out. Peace out guys, and stay tuned for the next episode!
