Long ago, two races ruled over Earth: HUMANS and MONSTERS.
One day, war broke out between the two races.
After a long battle, the humans were victorious.
They sealed the monsters underground with a magic spell.

Legends say that those who climb the mountain, never return.

"Marinette, you seriously don't believe that garbage do you? Ugh, pathetic!" Chloe Bourgeois sneered. Marinette rolled her eyes at Chloe. "It's just a myth, Chloe. Of course I don't believe it..." Chloe just scoffed and mumbled something cruel to her Sabrina. Marinette cringed, wishing the blonde hadn't overheard her retelling of the myth described so eloquently in the book her parents got for her. The tale had caught her and Alya's attention immediately. To Marinette, it was nothing more than a mere tale told to children to keep them from wandering off but the way the book described it made the tale seem like it wasn't just a mere piece of witty fiction. Alya placed a comforting hand upon Marinette's shoulder. "Don't let her get to you, Girl. she's just jealous that she can't read. Besides, a certain blonde-haired model kept turning around to listen in." She smirked as Marinette turned a bright beetroot- colour. Marinette let out a nervous giggle and sunk a quick peek at Adrian Agreste, the gorgeous model she was hopelessly infatuated with. He smiled warmly at Marinette and waved. She let out a small squeak and waved back before sinking back in to her seat, cowering behind her book. Alya let out a chuckle. "Are you sure he was listening to me?" Marinette whispered, trembling. Alya let out a quick snort of laughter.

"Of course I am! Would I lie to you, Marinette?"

Marinette pretended to think for a moment before replying "It depends if Nino's involved..." Alya gave her a playful shove, blushing a little. They both laughed merrily, contented.

Adrian glanced at Marinette. Her laughter was the clearest to him above everyone else's. He grinned goofily before he turned back to Nino. He raised an eyebrow at Nino as he was met with a smirk. "What?" He asked simply. Nino wriggled his eyebrows as he indicated to Marinette and Alya. Adrian looked back at Nino again, confused. "Dude. You totally have a thing for Mari..." Adrian's cheeks flushed and he shook his head.

"N-no! You've got it wrong! We're just friends..." Nino gave him a sceptical look.

"Riiight." He said dryly. Adrian became a darker shade of pink. He had to admit, his Princess was adorable but his heart had been claimed by his 'miraculous' Lady. At least, that's what he kept telling himself.

Adrian was about to change the subject when the bus screeched to a halt. Their teacher stood up. "Attention everyone! We have finally arrived!" The entire bus cheered in excitement. The teacher waited for their cheers to subside before continuing. "Before we set up, I'm afraid we must allocate you in to groups." A good majority of the bus groaned. "Please exit the bus calmly. Remember to gather all your stuff!" Marinette groaned again.

"Cheer up Marinette. You could be in a group with Adrian~" Alya sing-songed. Marinette blushed furiously before shoving all her stuff in her backpack. She didn't realise it was not zipped up properly.

"I hope so..."

The class all waited with baited breath as their teacher scanned the students and her clipboard. "Alright, everyone. The first group is Jukella, Nino, Mylene, Alya and Ivan." Nino and Alya fist bumped before waving goodbye to their friends. "The next will have Sabrina, Chloe -"

"Mademoiselle, you needn't go on anymore. I know that my Adrikins will be in my group..." Chloe boasted as she snaked her arms possessively around Adrian. He looked nervous as he tried to pry her off of his waist. Many scoffed until the teacher spoke again.

"While Adrian is in your group, you still need to find out who else is in your group."

"Ugh, whatever... Just read the list out."

The teacher pursed her lips for a second, as if biting back a harsh insult, before continuing." Chloe's group will also have Adrian, Nathaniel and Marinette." Chloe let out a shriek.

"MARINETTE?! UGGHHHHH!"

"Miss Bourgeois, would you rather I placed you in another group?" The teacher snapped coolly. Chloe shook her head, clinging to Adrian. "Well then, be quiet and get in to your group." The teacher carried on dictating groups whilst the students awkwardly complied together. Chloe glared at Marinette and Nathaniel as if they were the scum of the Earth, making them shrink slightly. Adrian offered them a kind smile before the teacher lectured them on the rules. "Finally, the most important one of all, none of you are to climb Mount Ebott. At all. You will not step foot upon that mountain. No one, and I mean no one, is to climb up there. If someone attempts to come and get me immediately." Surprised, the students whispered to themselves. Chloe snorted. "It's just a stupid grassy hill. Big deal. Daddy says-"

"Miss Bourgeois." The teacher reprimanded the teen, giving her a sharp pointed glare. "you all may go and set up. Remember! It's a team effort!" The groups trudged away, grumbling slightly.

The area surrounding the children was astounding. Lush grassy fields seemed to span for miles as did the sky which, upon the hour of arrival, was turning from a creamy yellow to a vibrant orange tinged with a rosy pink. Each student glanced up in awe and felt a tingling sensation of amazement as they viewed the vastly breath-taking surroundings. The groups soon started to get to work setting up so they would have more time to admire their surroundings. "Alright. You three can set up the tent and whatever while Adrian and I will watch the sunset together." Chloe shoved the tent equipment in to Sabrina's, Nathaniel's and Marinette's hands before puckering her lips, ready to smooch Adrian. Marinette let out an annoyed growl whilst Adrian looked terrified. He shoved Chloe's hands away and quickly took some of Marinette's load, making her blush. He made sure his fingers lingered just a little bit longer than they should so he could feel the soft firmness of her skin. She let out an adorable squeak of embarrassment and averted her gaze. Adrian felt quite guilty for he assumed he had intimidated her in some way. He hoped he had not. "I think it'd be a better idea if we helped out Chloe. It'll get it done a lot quicker and then we can enjoy the sunset a bit more. Doesn't that sound good?" Chloe grumbled before snatching a small scrap of Sabrina's load. Her eyes locked with Marinette as she glared darkly at the bluenette. How dare she get Adrian to stare at her like that!

"Fine." She snapped, only willing to help for Adrian's sake. Marinette would pay...

They got the tents set up quicker than they anticipated but all of the students agreed that it had been for the better. Even Chloe had agreed! Albeit begrudgingly. It was the perfect picturesque scene of a school camping trip. Everyone appeared to be having a good time. Jokes were shared and bright, cheerful laughter filled the crisp air. Kim was attempting to start a campfire and people were rooting him on, giving him tips since it was his first time camping. Everything was going was going great and it should have stayed that way except there would not be a story to tell. The tale of a camping trip has been spun so many times its thread is getting old. There would be no interesting story if the events that occurred never took place.

Marinette was adding the finishing touches to her group's tent. Her backpack was left unguarded and was caught by Chloe's beady eyes. She still had not forgiven Marinette for the way her Adrikins had looked at Marinette. Useless, clumsy, stupid Marinette. Spying an opportunity, Chloe snatched up the bag and unzipped it, riffling through its contents until she struck metaphorical gold: Marinette's diary. She chuckled darkly. Perfect. Her eyes picked up Adrian standing nearby. Double perfect. Clearing her throat, Chloe read the most recent page aloud. "Dear Diary, I discovered we're going on a camping trip in class. The best part is that I'm going with Adrian Agreste! Oh, how I adore Adrian! The way he smiles and laughs. The way his hair is the colour of the most radiant sun. His eyes are such an amazing green I feel as if I will melt under their gaze." The students began to look over at Chloe, confused.

"Chloe, knock it off!" Alix moaned. She pretended to gag, earning a laugh from some of her classmates.

Chloe kept reading. "Adrian is so sweet and kind. I just don't know how to express my love to him. he probably turn me down anyway. Still, there's some part of me that hopes he may look my way and see past my awkward clumsiness. I hope that one day he might love me back..." Some of the students started to mock the words, pretending to cry at their poetic value. Chloe's lips curled in to a cruel grin as she watched Marinette realise what Chloe had done.

Chloe stopped reading.

Chloe instead began to laugh. "Look at how pathetic you are Marinette! Hopeless! 'I hope he might love me back'. Ha! Puh-leese! Like Adrian would look at a disgusting baker's daughter such as yourself. You really are pathetic!" The campsite became mute with horror, frozen still. Every pair of eyes was glued to Marinette and Chloe.

Chloe laughed again. She pretended to wipe a tear from her eyes. "I pity you Marinette. That's all anyone does really. I'm jusr following everyone else. Do you really think any here actually believes any of the crap you put in this thing?!" she mockingly waved the diary at Marinette who's eyes were wide with fear.

"Chloe, stop." Adrian tried to speak out, throat dry as he tried to process what was happening. Was... was Chloe reading Marinette's diary? Did Marinette have a crush on him? No, she was in love with him. His eyes widened in realisation.

Chloe ignored him.

"Yeah, Chloe stop it!" Various people cried out.

"You better watch your mouth Chloe! Marinette is ten times the person you'll ever be!" Alya yelled, being held back by Nino and Kim.

Chloe ignored them. She just laughed again as she flipped through the diary. She gave a mock gasp. "Are these your designs?! The ones you hope will give you the chance to actually be something?!" Chloe ripped the top half of the diary, making everyone gasp.

"Chloe, stop. Please..." Marinette choked out past the bile in her mouth. Her entire body was shaking in pent-up anger and distress.

RIP. Another long, slow tear of the diary.

"I've seen better scribbles done by brain-dead monkeys!"

RIP. Another tear that made people start to scream "STOP" at her. Relentless, Chloe continued.

"You're a nobody Marinette! You're e useless! Pathetic! NOBODY! You have always been and always will be a nobody! Do you know the best part of it all is ? You actually thought you had a chance in this world! Well, guess what? YOU DON'T!" With one last rip, the diary fell apart and was thrown on to the muddy ground. Marinette watched helplessly as Chloe stomped her foot on of the last salvageable pieces and squish it further in to the dirt. she gave one last triumphant smirk.

Marinette was trembling as sobs broke from her lips before she could stop them. Her heart felt like it had been ripped apart and trodden all over instead of her diary. It ached in her chest, making everything feel like lead. Her tears spilled from her eyes, trailing down her pale face and making their way to the ground. They tasted salty and bleak to Marinette's dry lips. Her head pounded and throbbed whilst her vision swam. Everything happened in a blur. The grip on Alya loosening as she charged yelling of "YOU SELFISH BI-" before Chloe was tackled to the ground. The angry bickering that killed the tranquillity. The teacher's cry of "What's going on?" All of it was left behind as Marinette turned and ran through the thick, shrouding foliage towards the Mountain.

Her cries became louder and louder as she ran. A muffled voice called from inside her purse. "Marinette! Marinette!" Her brain barely processed Tikki's shrieks as Marinette ran ahead, path blocked by her tears.

She had to get away.

Everything was crushing her. Swiftly. Slowly. All at once. The birdsong was mocking her and the Mountain looked welcoming. She sluggishly remembered her teacher's warning but pushed it aside.

She had to get away.

Her feet pounded as she ran upwards. Her legs wobbled as she clambered. She sniffled before taking a glance behind her. From what she could make out through her tears, Adrian was running after her with Alya, Nino and a few others not far behind.

No.

They couldn't see her like this. She needed to get away.

Her breath hitched as she ran up the slopes upon the mountain. The mountain was not as hard to get up as one might think. It was just a matter if running. Running from your darkest fears. Marinette ran faster and faster, weakening with each step.

She could not do this.

She gritted her teeth in determination. Yes, she could.

No. Another stumble.

Yes. Marinette had made it to the flattest part.

No. Adrian was catching up. She had to move.

Yes.

No.

Yes.

She had done it! She was finally free! She puffed and gave a weak laugh through her sobs. Not so pathetic. She took a step back, trying to catch her breath. "Marinette!" Adrian cried desperately. He scaled the slopes quite easily. Her eyes widened in fear. "MARINETTE!" He cried again, voice shaking as he reached for her. He was there. He had caught her again. She took another step back.

"Stop. Please..." His voice sounded broken and weak. His face looked pale and concerned. He cared! Marinette's knees shook as she stood. He watched her.
"Don't do this! Please!" He reached out to grasp her hands. She looked willing to take them.

Trembling, Marinette lifted her foot, ready to walk in to his arms. Her foot snagged on an unseen branch and she stumbled. Her scream pierced the air as she tumbled in to the darkness. "MARINETTE!" Adrian shrieked in despair and anguish.

Helplessly, Alya watched as her best friend fell through the hole. "NO!" Her tears fell rapidly and she fell to her knees. Sobs racked her body. She had lost her best friend because of a few careless words.

Adrian looked behind him. Everyone looked petrified. No one knew if Marinette would survive. She was lost. He turned back to the hole. No. He couldn't lose someone else he cared about. Not this time."I'm sorry..." He whispered before jumping in to the hole after his princess. Everyone was screaming. Police sirens wailed loudly and children were being dragged away, flailing their limbs and thrashing wildly. Alya was screeching in agony whilst Nino could only call out Adrian 's name over and over again.

Sabrina wept as she whimpered "I should have stopped her before it went too far. I'm a coward. Nothing but a coward." She had seen Chloe pull out the diary but she just stood by out of her fear of torment and abandonment from Chloe. She mooched back with the group in sorrow.

Pitch black. That's all Marinette could see. For a moment, she was not quite sure what had happened. Then it all came back to her in a blur. The heartbreak, the trip, the fall. Sweat pooled from her body. She had survived. How she was not sure. The last she could recall properly was her descent as she awaited for death to claim her. She opened her eyes to see golden petals before her eyes. Buttercups?

She sat up and pain shot through her body, causing her to cry out. She collapsed again before gathering enough strength to move. Everything was sore. Her hands were covered in cuts as were her legs from where she had fallen. Her muscles were aching and she was sure her body was littered with bruises. She knew she had to move. Tentatively, Marinette opened her purse. "Tikki? Are you okay? Tikki?" She hissed frantically. Her kwami stirred.

"Marinette! What were you thinking?!" Tikki cried, zooming upwards in to her owner's face.

"Tikki, I'm sorry. I-" Marinette began before Tikki kissed the tip of her nose. They shared a hug before a pained moan separated them. Tikki flew back in to Marinette 's purse. Marinette searched around until her eyes fell upon a certain blonde near her. "ADRIAN!"

Marinette crawled towards him, ignoring her body's own writhing pain. She gasped. He lay outstretched in the same patch of overgrown buttercups as she had. His hair had fanned out behind him in a sort golden halo. His eyes were blearily opening. Kneeling, Marinette cradled his body ams began to cry once more."Why did you come after me?" She whispered, clutching him closer.

He began to sit up. He winced, evidently in pain. "Because I care about you Marinette. I care about you alot." Adrian managed a grin which made Marinette smile slightly. Her cheeks gave off a rosy glow much to Adrian's delight.

She set him down gently. Taking a sharp intake of breath, Marinette stood up and felt worse. She cried out. Gritting her teeth, she stood taller and offered Adrian a hand. "C'mon. We have to get out of here..." She reasoned.

Pulling him up, Marinette caught sight of the canopy above. It wasn't the blackness they had been shrouded in before. Instead, it was a roof of crystals which glimmered brightly. It looked as if no rescue teams could climb down to save them. Marinette scanned their surroundings again. Her eyes picked up a small tunnel that shrank back in the shadows. Leading Adrian forward, Marinette said "This looks like a good start..."

The tunnel was dark. Darker than the first area. Adjusting their eyes, the pair spotted an exit marked by a shinning light. "You know." Adrian began. "They say there's always light at the end of the tunnel." His voice ricocheted off the walls and echoed back, making it hard to distinguish his tone. Marinette just nodded meekly and carried on walking. Finally, they walked through the end of the tunnel and were stunned by another bright space.

Their eyes took in the surroundings faster than their minds could process. It was practically the same as the last area. The light was filtered by crystals above and the grass was the same. However, much to their surprise one single flower stood among the grass. A single, smiling flower with bright yellow petals and an emerald green stem. It gave a light laugh and opened its mouth as if to speak. Speak it did.

"Howdy!"
