I own Nothing

Paris 1863

I had been watching her for the past year and only now do I regret it as I am forced to watch her struggle in the grasp of my friends who held her with ease.

My so-called friends had me by my shoulders, my white tail coat getting wrinkled as they pushed me, the paved road scraping my new leather shoes as the leftover rainwater puddles were soaking my black trousers, my father was having a field day with this violent act. He watched from afar his white fedora giving him a dangerous look adding to his already deep frown while the fur coat hung around his neck, his gloved hands clutched the silver-tipped skull cane, while his pure white suit gave him the look of regality next to his 3 royal advisors all dressed in purple, blue, and maroon and they all watched.

I was starving, I hadn't eaten in days and they all knew it, I had been reckless in sneaking away just to watch her as she finished up her long day at the local bakery, putting the dough to rise overnight and I couldn't help but be entranced as she had her nightly bath, her pale skin, thin but curvy body she was beautiful as she washed herself clean from the day of hard work, I would wait until she was asleep before sneaking into her room and watching her sleep, I would never touch her inappropriately but at the very least I would press my lips against her sleeping mouth feeling the heavenly tingle rush through my body.

The group of young socialite vampires all wore the latest fashions of Gabriel Agreste 1863 or better known as the King... of the Vampires, My father. They pushed me further forward as my strength was too low from hunger to fight them and her screaming was catching my instincts attention because nothing gets the hunger more fired up then a reluctant prey, She wore her plain brown dress that had stains of flour on it from her parent's bakery, Chloe and Sabrina held the girl as she thrashed but she could do nothing against our strength.

"HELP ME!" She screamed able to release her mouth from Chloe's hand as the blonde bitch who has been my friend since we were born just smiled wickedly and chuckled evilly with happiness, her black and yellow gown was also getting wet but she paid it no mind right now as vengeance and bloodlust filled her blue eyes as she looked at me, The Baker's daughter held no recognition of me which nearly killed me and all she had was fear in her eyes.

"Kiss Her, Kiss her, Kiss her." They chanted challengingly as they pushed us together I knew what they wanted and my hunger was too overwhelming to fight it for long.

"Come on take the bite, taste that sweet blood pumping through those veins." Wayhem mocked in my ear as he pushed me closer to her neck, we were getting closer and I had to hold my breath from smelling her sweet scent, but my strength couldn't take the lack of air.

"Take the bite, come on now take the bite." He said as I could smell the vanilla, cinnamon, and sugar radiating from her I couldn't fight it anymore as my mind went blank as my fangs descended and sunk into her bread soft flesh and instantly the sweetest blood began to fill my mouth as I heard evil cackles surrounding me while the Goddess I was drinking from screamed and groaned in pain and fear, I groaned out loud as my mouth clung to her and I felt my power returning pushing off the captors with ease and faintly heard the groans of pain before punching both Chloe and Sabrina taking the Baker girl in my arms as her life drained into my body, I sunk to the ground as her weight went limp and the last drop of her blood went in and I swallowed it.

I pulled myself from the flesh and felt the rush of power throwing my head back taking in a gasp as the full moon shown down on me as the lunar eclipse began and my Princely powers were heightened. I felt my eyes focus with bloodlust after looking down at the dead woman in my arms, then to my reflection in a nearby puddle, I saw her ruby blood dripping from my mouth as my eyes glowed red from my awakened vampiric form.

"Now you see Adrien?" I heard making me look up slowly at my father who held out a kerchief to me but I didn't take it, my friends were all gathered around behind him smirking happily.

"We don't fraternize with humans unless it is to eat, You should have listened to me in the first place. You COULD have kept her as your pet, but no you had to defy me. So now you have no choice. Your marrying Chloe... Tomorrow." He said sternly before turning and walking away, expecting me to follow him just like the obedient puppy I have been for the past 210 years, I watched him walk away and Chloe blew me a kiss with a smile and a wink before walking to follow my father as I sat there holding her, I looked down at my love, her skin was pale now as her pulse had stopped.

"Marinette!?" I cried feeling the salt water running down my face.

"ADRIEN!" I heard my father shout with anger.

The bloodlust was spreading throughout my body as the lunar eclipse was complete and its power filled my blood lust with rage and power and the blood moon began, I laid down the limp body gently she was still beautiful even in death, I crossed her frozen hands over her chest in a delicate manner, I leaned over and pressed my lips to her blue ones and felt the cold of her death chill my body, finally the blood moon was complete, I rose up to standing, my hair fell in my face creating a dark shadow like mask across my eyes as my pupils slit, a deep guttural growl rippling through my chest and escaped my mouth as I saw red and with green dots in my vision.

The group heard a loud and deep growl that sent chills down their spines and looked at each other confused before King Gabriel was attacked.

Everyone gasped as Gabriel threw off his attacker to find Adrien in a defensive pose on all fours just like a cat growling and hissing as Gabriel looked appalled.

"Adrien, what on earth are you doing son?" Gabriel questioned before Adrien attacked him again, Gabriel tried to fight him but Adrien was stronger than him for the first time ever.

Gabriel growled as he clawed, fought, and struggled but could nothing against Adriens strength, grasping his father on his back and holding him by the hair holding his neck straight.

"YOU MADE ME KILL MY SOUL MATE ON THE NIGHT OF THE BLOOD MOON. I AM STRONGER THAN YOU AND NOW I AM TAKING AWAY WHAT YOU LOVE MOST." Adrien growled right in Gabriel's ear and plunged his fangs deep in his neck, Gabriel struggled but kept failing as his strength was dying.

"ADRIEN. I COMMAND YOU. RELEASE YOUR KING." Gabriel said trying compulsion as he clawed at Adrien but his strength was quickly failing.

Arien felt the compulsion and his resolve was slowly morphing away and into submission but he looked over at the corpse of his beloved making his eyes slit again turning green and he opened his mouth before digging back in and his mouth and stomach were flooding with the spicy blood that was filling up his stomach.

"GET HIM OFF OF ME," Gabriel said as he fell to his knees right before the advisors and grabbed Adrien but they were flown off knocking them into walls with crumbling force.

Then in a quick moment, they all felt it, their strength and divinity of blue blood vampires had changed. They all looked up to see the dead body of Gabriel laying on the ground before turning to a crumbling pile of ash, age-old bones, gray coarse hair, and exquisite clothing, looming over his body slowly rising was Adrien whose hair dripped with blood and his body had ash falling from his fine clothes, his eyes glowed bright green and a deep growl was ringing in their ears as he had taken his fathers powers... and his crown.

The New Vampire King Adrien who looked like a murderer with a deep bloodlust to kill anyone who dared to cross him.

"COME TO ME..." He growled out.

Adrien arose for the last time, his body was shaking as he leaned his head back and took deep breaths, he looked back down at his hands covered in blood while his black fingernails had flesh underneath them, his body had consumed so much blood that his muscles had filled to the point of being thick and hard like he bench presses 1000 lbs per arm 50 times a day, he had gotten taller as his chest had puffed out with a 12 pack board of abs, his blonde hair had also grown out hanging around his chin and in layers leaving them spiky as the tips were blood red, his clothes had ripped apart from not fitting anymore from his muscle growth and body height increasing.

Looking around the large city courtyard there were piles of ashy clothes evidence of the many Royal vampires that had heard the call of their King and had come running at his call, but now the entire clan lay dead around him.

Looking up at the blood moon, his bloodlust was over as the eclipse passed and the full moon was light blue once again, his eyes turned back to normal and his body relaxed but the transformation did not.

He took in a deep breath and let it out feeling his body relax as he felt himself again then he turned around slowly and was calm as he went over kneeling and gently picking up the cold but beautiful body, cradling her to his chest once again as the dawning light began to brighten.

He held her head to his face feeling her cold cheek against his own as he cried once again.

"May God have mercy on my murderous soul," he whispered against her skin as he felt the morning exhaustion begin to spread throughout his body.

He waited for dawn to break to disintegrate his vampire body, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, the feeling of fire never came as he sat there holding her body, waiting for a well-deserved death that just wouldn't come.

He opened his eyes feeling the weight of the girl had become stiff as he rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand, he hadn't fallen asleep he was just lost in his thoughts.

Then once he was more awake he looked up as the Notre Dame tolled telling him that it was Noon, but the sun was still rising and had been stuck at sunrise before the sun could fully come over the horizon.

"What's going on?" He asked rhetorically in shock.

"Hello, Adrien." A feminine voice caught his attention making him look down but found no life coming from the body in his arms.

He looked around once more and his eyes landed on an unfamiliar figure, instantly he growled and held Marinette closer only to find that she was gone, he looked down to find his arms empty.

"Marinette?" He said in shock and fear looking around but not finding her anywhere,

"Well, Well, Well. Quite the mess you've made here." A voice said.

He looked over at the new figure and fully noticed her, she was a small figure almost like a child, actually she was a child, she wore a red dress with black spots with white ruffles underneath and on the hemline of her puffy sleeves, she had a red backpack on in the shape and colors of a ladybug shell, her red-violet hair was in a bob with 2 hair antennae on her head, her nails were a reddish violet, and she wore white ruffle socks with black MaryJane shoes.

"Who are you?" He questioned standing up in a defensive stance.

"My name is Tikki, I came because God has sent me." The little girl said making her pale pink lips smile tenderly and her red shadowed eyes with black eyeliner and black spots lining under them made her look innocent but also non-human.

"What? Where is Marinette?" He asked curiously and defensively.

"I sent her to Heaven where she belongs. She is at rest now, as for you. You have made quite a mess haven't you?" She said skipping around the filthy ground covered in Vampire ashes almost as if she was flying, Adrien calmed down a little at the thought of his Princess at peace in heaven.

"That's good." He said slumping slightly while rubbing his handsome face.

"Are you here to send me to Hell then?" He asked her pointing down at the ground while looking at her. She held her hands behind her back with a frown and looking at him with pitiful eyes.

They paused for a moment just staring at each other.

"Did you notice the time?" She asked him, her smile returning to her face and looking at the clock tower.

"What?" He said incredulously.

"Your battle ended at sunrise but now the clock says its midday," Tikki explained turning back towards him with a caring smile still sipping or flying around the courtyard just missing the dead bodies.

"Do you know why it's like that?" Tikki asked with a smile as Adrien just shook his head letting his blonde hair frame his face.

"Its because you've been praying." She said with a smile making him look at her in shock.

"Your love for a simple human and the amount of time you spent praying caught Gods attention, so he sent my partner and me." She said twirling and pointing at him with her arms wide and a sweet smile as if begging for a hug.

"I wasn't praying." He said incredulously, letting his head fall in submission.

"Yes, you were. And I quote 'May God have mercy on my murderous soul.' So God decided that you will be given a chance at forgiveness and sent us here to help." She said calmly coming up to him and standing in front of him.

"You look terrible for a King." She said giving him a heartfelt smile while coming up to him and raising his chin.

"I'm no King." He said pulling away from her and dropping his head in defeat.

"Yes, you are King Adrien. You not only consumed your soulmate but also your Father, his advisors along with THE most powerful vampire clan in the world, and after consuming their souls you have become THE most powerful vampire on earth." She explained but Adrien didn't budge from his moping.

"How about we clean this mess up." She said making Adrien see a bright flash of pink light and instantly he looked and saw that the blood on his body, was all cleaned up and his black and white bloodied suit had changed into an all-white outfit, of simple white dress shirt with a ruffled collar, white trousers, white stockings, white leather boots, and a white tail coat. He looked at his clean hands before rubbing down his muscular chest over his heavenly white clothes while standing and then looking around at the clean courtyard, all of the vampire's bodies were gone.

"How did you do that?" He asked turning around and finding that the little girl was gone, and in her place stood a small boy with large green eyes, olive skin, and black hair that fell around his ears with the back shaved up to the cut line with 1 antenna on top of his head and 2 antennae hanging down from the back of his human ears, he had a neon green shirt with a black paw print on it, a black jacket over it with his hands in the pockets, black hiking shorts, black tennis shoes with green socks and he was sucking on a green lollipop. He was staring up at Adrien giving him a gentle pout with curious eyes.

"Who are you?" Adrien asked gently.

"I'm Plagg. Nice to meet you." The boy said with a smile showing his fangs.

"You were amazing. The way you took down all of those vampires. It was fun to watch." The boy continued with sparkling eyes of happiness holding th elollipop out of his mouth.

"Thank you?" Adrien replied with a bit of confusion.

"He is my partner," Tikki said as she came around from the shadows to stand next to Plagg as Adrien looked over at her as she ate from a bag of cookies.

"Yeah it's my job to condemn souls, while Sugarcube here saves them," Plagg said pulling out a slice of what smelled like camembert cheese and eating it slowly savoring the taste after he put the lollipop back in its wrapper and putting it in his pocket.

"So are YOU here to take me to Hell then?" Adrien asked looking at the black-clad boy.

"Nope, we are here to fix this mess and to give you your gift," Plagg said nonchalantly.

"Gift? What gift? I don't' deserve a gift." Adrien said quickly and sparingly.

"But you do Adrien," Tikki said grasping his hand and then leading him away making Plagg grab his other hand and they all walked like a Dad and his 2 children.

Plagg and Tikki lead Adrien to the cemetery and directly to a newer looking gravestone.

It was an Angel statue with a name plaque on its base, the Angel had a flowing robe with large wings protectively surrounding her body as her hands were held over her heart while stone tears fell from her eyes.

Adrien looked at the Angel statue and instantly saw the familiar face and body.

"Marinette?" Adrien said before falling to his knees at the base of the statue.

Marinette Dupein-Cheng

1847-1863

Beloved in Life and in Death

"Is this my gift?" He asked touching the statue base and staring up at the beautiful face.

"Part of it," Tikki said in a much deeper voice making Adrien turn to find that the children were long gone but now adults stood in their place.

Tikki was a pleasantly plump woman with bouncy curves, a form-fitting red dress with black spots, black knee high Go-Go boots, and a black long tail blazer, her hair had grown out and flew with the wind.

Plagg traded his shorts for Tripp Pants tucked into Moto boots with chains, long hair that brushed his shoulders, and a chain belt.

"What happened to you two?" Adrien asked in more confusion.

"We needed our strength. We're about to give you the gift and it will take a lot of our power." Tikki explained coming around to stand on his right as Plagg came around to his left.

"What is the gift?" He asked as both of the Angels reached to his shoulders and right before they touch him Tikki explained.

"It is both a gift and a punishment. You are much too powerful right now so God has asked us to take care of you, however with your pleading for mercy and praying God has decided you don't deserve Hell, so God has decided to keep you here on Earth, your immortal soul shall be condensed and hidden away until its time for you to awaken." She said kneeling next to him as he looked at her with pleading eyes.

"When the time comes we shall return to release you. But even in your immortal prison of solitude, you will have the freedom you've always wanted. God will be watching you, so remember IF... you do well God will give you favor." Plagg said also kneeling.

Adrien looked up at the Angel Statue and let his tears fall once again.

"But I will be alone." He said touching the angel's feet that were showing from under the stone robe.

"Another punishment I'm afraid, but you will join her... eventually," Tikki said happily making Adrien look at her.

"As long as your a good boy," Plagg said making Tikki frown at him as he gave her a smile and a wink.

"Then I will take what I am due. may God use me for his bidding as I reconcile with him and I find forgiveness from my sins." He said closing his eyes in prayer still touching the stone feet.

"Amen." The Angels said as they both touched Adriens shoulders and dawn broke just as a bright flash of bright light illuminated the entire city of Paris as its people were waking up just as the clock tower chimed for the morning and telling the early risers to wake and start their day.
