Miraculous Children Of The Night

by blackmailingqueen

I was listening to the song Children of the Night, on the youtube channel Duo Cartoonist, when this idea kind of hit. Marinette was born with the ability to control Akuma. HawkMoth finds out. He threatens everyone she cares for if she doesn't do what he tells her to. The song is Children of the Night. Song AU. I guess a reveal fic if you squint.

Don't really know what to say about this, other than I just typed it up to get it out of my head.

Disclaimer: I own nothing!

Marinette didn't want to do this. But she had to keep her family safe.

Marinette had a secret. She was born with the power of the Butterfly Miraculous, anyone who had been Akumatized, she could control. All she had to do was sing.

She doesn't know how HawkMoth found out.

Now she must sing or everyone she cares for will suffer.

Marinette is glad she had left Tiki at home, sleeping.

She takes a deep breath and starts.

Come, little children, I'll take thee away

Into a land of enchantment

Come, little children, the time's come to play

Here in my garden of shadows

As she sang anyone who had once been under Hawk Moth's influence once again became Akumatized. The butterfly masks appeared and their forms changed.

Follow, sweet children, I'll show thee the way

Through all the pain and the sorrows

Weep not, poor children, for life is this way

Murdering beauty and passions

She could feel all of them. She sang the next command - they were to come to Hawk Moth's hideout, causing as much destruction and mayhem as possible.

Hush now, dear children, it must be this way

Too weary of life and deceptions

Rest now, my children, for soon we'll away

Into the calm and the quiet

The first Akuma were just now reaching the hideout, and she almost cried when she recognized some of her class-mates. The only thing that kept her going was Hawk Moth standing behind her.

Come, little children, I'll take thee away

Into a land of enchantment

Come, little children, the time's come to play

Here in my garden of shadows

As she sang the last lines, a tear streaked down her face, begging for Chat Noir's forgiveness. Ladybug couldn't help him this time.

Meanwhile at the Agreste Mansion, Adrien slept. Until he was jolted awake by a huge sense of foreboding. Plagg was already up, looking worried.

He didn't have to say anything. Adrien knew that it was time for the final battle with Hawk Moth. He transformed into Chat Noir and went to check on his princess.

When he got to the bakery, however, all he saw was an empty bed and a red kwami crying.

That's when the answer hit him. Marinette was Ladybug, and she was missing, without her kwami to transform with.
