Chat Noir Claws Of Shadows 4 The Fox's Wedding Chapter 1: Night Terrors
It was the same dream every night for Adrian, seeing that dreadful Lady Misfortune killing his beloved sent him going insane night after night.
He woke up again sweating profusely then looking over his shoulder to see Marienette was sleeping peacefully which made Adrian smile again.
I have to stop worrying so much about Lady Misfortune coming back Adrian laid back cuddling his fiance.
A looming evil was on the rise.
The calm waters of the Paris Harbor was interrupted by Volpina rising above water then dragging herself onto land before laying back first on the sand.
"Damn you Adrian, why can't you just let mayhem take control for once" Volpina got up to her feet standing up straight.
A sudden memory of all those times Ladybug ruined her chance to be with Adrian.
The mere thought of it made her sick.
"Oh Ladybug I am going to exterminate you so I can have Chat Noir all to myself" Volpina said laughing insanely.
She ran on top of rooftops desperately trying to find that cat and make him hers if force had to be in place.
Upon jumping from house to house, the sly fox finally appeared at Marienette's house staring into what was going on. She opened the balcony window looking at Adrian's sleeping alongside his lover.
"Even when he's asleep it looks so hot" Volpina whispered.
She carefully picked up Adrian without leaving a note next to Marienette's bedside before walking back out the balcony.
"No hard feelings Mari but I'll be taking your lover for my own" Volpina disappeared like a gust a wind with Adrian on her shoulder still asleep.
She finally had her chance to be with Adrien without Marienette interrupting her.
No one could stop her.
The next morning was a beautiful one but once Mari opened her eyes she started to notice the love of her life was not in bed.
"That's odd, he's normally right here when I wake up and gives me a good morning kiss" Marienette found it strange that Adrien wasn't here for some reason.
Where could that cat be?
Marienette thought he had left out for a daily patrol or something like that. But if he did that, why was his Miraculous not activated because she would know by now or at least see him come back to greet her.
She eventually got up from bed and walked downstairs to get some breakfast. Before she did so, a note floated in the air then landed on the coffee table.
"Huh what's this?" Marienette asked picking up the note off the table.
By the time you read this you probably noticed by now that your precious Adrien is now mine and if you want him back, come find me near the Paris Harbor for a surprise.
~Volpina
Mari crushed the note underneath her hands before transforming into Ladybug and running out to find her lover and ending this nightmare once and for all.
Volpina you've really done it this time, I will not show any mercy towards you for taking Adrien Marienette swung from building to building.
She looked out from where she was and spotted the pier near the Harbor. A few minutes away she could see Volpina standing next to Chat Noir which was odd because normally it would be Adrien already having that fox in handcuffs, awaiting police to arrive and taking her away.
Something was unusual about this surprise Volpina claimed to have.
Ladybug landed on the west side, standing in front of the two.
"Alright Volpina what is going on here?" Ladybug asked impatiently.
"Now now bugaboo don't think that just because I came here mean I can't break you in half"
Volpina laughed at that comment because it was not the spotted bug's representation.
"Just give me Adrien so I can skip to the part where I kick your teeth in and make you swallow them" Ladybug was not playing around as she readied her lucky charm.
"As you wish Ladybug" Volpina brought out Adrien but he looked different.
The way he looked was the same color he had on when he killed Hawkmoth and this iced Marienette's blood to a point where all her threats she made earlier faded away.
"Are you happy to see him? I made some minor adjustments but man he looks even hotter as Chat Blanc don't you agree Ladybug?" Volpina flashed a sinister like smile.
Mari wanted to move but her body wasn't responding so she stood there frozen.
"Something wrong Marienette? You seem shocked," Volpina joked.
"You monster! When I get my hands on you I'm going to break you like a toothpick" Ladybug made another threat balding up her fists wanting to punch Volpina's face in.
Volpina laughed and whispered a command in Adrien's ear before leaving.
Chat stared at Ladybug with a blank stare, bringing out his staff.
I don't want to hurt him but what other choice do I have?
Pulling out a defensive stance, Chat came charging at her with his staff but Mari grabbed it with both hands, flipping him over with him landing in the hot sand.
"Forgive me Adrien" Marienette hoped her husband wouldn't be pissed at what she was doing.
He did a kip up unleashing his sharp claws that glistened in the sunlight.
"Forgot that you sharpened those a few days ago while I was doing laundry," Mari remembered.
Chat went to scratch but Marienette avoided every slash of his claws that came her way.
She let her guard down for a split second, it was an opportunity for Chat to slash her arm making her yelp in pain before backing up to get some space between them.
Damn what did Volpina do to make him act this way? Mari wondered surveying her arm wound.
Chat jumped up twirling his staff for an attack and Marienette kicked him the stomach, knocking some wind out of him as he fell face first into hot sand twitching from the sudden shock of pain. His stomach churned some until he puked all over the sand for about 5 minutes at a time.
Maybe I kicked him a little...too hard Ladybug felt ashamed that she did that.
Adrien's eyes changed back to their normal color after puking one last time.
"Marienette what am I doing out here?" Adrien asked swiping one finger across his mask making it disappear.
"Well to be honest with you, Volpina had you under some kind of spell and you started to attack me" Mari explained.
Adrien blinked.
"I know this is a lot to manage I understand but when you flew in the air I had to kick you in the stomach just to get you back to old self again" Marienette flashed a nervous smile.
She closed her eyes tightly expecting an argument that never came.
Except for an argument, Adrien held onto his lover tightly, gently kissing her forehead.
"The only concern I have is that you're safe my little bugaboo," Adrien said smiling.
Marienette blushed and had tears of joy then held him as they shared a loving kiss.
