He climbed up the Eiffel Tower where his enemy stood waiting for him.

"Hello Chat Noir." Hawkmoth said. "So kind of you meet me here."

"It's over Hawkmoth."

"Oh I beg to differ. Because today you are going to give me your miraculous."

"And why would I do that?"

"Because I have a little leverage you might wanna know about."

He held up his arm, in his grip was Marinette who he held over the edge.

"Let her go!"

"I'd love to, after you give me your miraculous."

"Never!"

"Very well."

He dropped her, she screamed.

"No! Wait!"

He quickly grabbed her again.

"I..I can't...I promised-" Adrien said.

"Well if a promise means more to you then the life of this girl..."

"No! Don't!"

"Hand over the miraculous or the girl dies!"

"Okay."

He took off his ring and threw it to him. Hawkmoth smiled as he clutched it.

"At last!" He said. "It's mine."

"Now let her go."

"Of course." With that he dropped her. "Silly me I had my fingers crossed."

"No! Marinette!"

She screamed in terror as she fell. Adrien tried to catch her but he missed and he couldn't go after her without his powers. He could only watch her fall in horror.

"Adrien! Help me!" She screamed.

"Marinette!" Adrien shouted as he woke up. He was in his bed with sweat dripping down his face. "Plagg! Plagg! Where are you?"

"Ugh! What?" The little Kwami said waking up.

"Come on, we gotta go!"

"What? It's three in the morning!"

"I don't care what time it is! Claws out!"

He changed into Chat Noir and rushed over to Mariette's house. He peeked through her window. She was safely asleep in her bed. He sighed with relief and went back home where he changed back.

"That's the third time this week!" Plagg complained. "It was just a dream. Let it go. She's fine!"

"I'm sorry it's just that ever since that day with the Wizard I've been terrified that Hawkmoth might go after Marinette." He said. "If anything ever happened her I...I'd never forgive myself."

"Look, I'm sure what happened the other day was a one time thing. The person you should be concerned about him hurting is Ladybug. I'm sure he'd love to wring her neck out."

"Plagg! Are you trying to give me a heart attack?!"

"Sorry."

...

"Chat Noir. I know you fear for someone's life." Hawkmoth said. "I can feel it. I'll find out who this someone is and when I do you'll be enslaved by my akuma."
