Kitty021: So, it's been a while...forever. Sorry. I decided to continue this story! (But you already knew that because I posted this) So, I haven't really planned for this story so it might take longer to publish new chapters. I will try to have one out every week though. Also, I don't know how many chapters this is going to be, but I don't expect it to be as long as Secrets. With that said, please review. And if you have any ideas... ;)
oOo
It was after there first class and Marinette still failed to return. "Alya, have you seen Marinette?" Adrien turned from his current position to see Alya packing for the next class.
"No, I've texted her but she's not responding. I don't know what happened to her." Alya's head fell.
"Ha!" Chloe laughed causing the two teens to look at her.
"Chloe, what did you do?" Alya's face grew red with anger.
"I don't know why you're mad. I just told her the truth, that's all." She waved it off like it was nothing.
"Chloe, what did you tell her?" Adrien said joining in on the anger.
"The truth! That she was just plain old Marinette and it was obvious that someone would pick me over her. I put her in her place, she's NOT better than me, she needed to know that." She rolled her eyes as if annoyed.
"That's not true, I would pick her over you any day as would anyone else. Chloe get your head out of the clouds. No one cares that your father is the mayor and no one worships the ground you walk on. So what if your dad's the mayor, you DON'T get the right to say those things. God Chloe, for once in your life care about someone other than yourself!" Adrien was ready to knock down a few desks but instead used the energy to run out of the classroom.
Alya just nodded and walked out of the classroom. "You got what was coming!" She didn't look back at the blond haired brat, instead her eyes were fixed on the young model that was exiting the school.
Her gaze was not locked on him long because a familiar black clad hero appeared after Adrien was out of sight. He dropped down right beside her.
"C-Chat Noir? What are you doing here?" Alya's eyes widened.
"I'm looking for Chloe. I asked her to do something for me and I want to make sure she did." His voice was more cold than friendly.
"Do something?" Alya continued. "Does that something involve Marinette?"
"Yes" 'Has Mari told her about me?'
"Did you put Chloe up to saying that stuff to Marinette? Why would you do that? She trusted you! I can't believe that you of-!"
"Hold up!" He interrupted. "I didn't tell Chloe to say anything. I just asked her if she could do something for me. It's Marinette's birthday and I had the idea and she was a girl who knew about that kind of stuff and-" he started to ramble. 'Why are you nervous? Get ahold of yourself!' "Anyways, have you seen her?"
"She's in there." Alya pointed to the room he had left just minutes before.
"Thanks." He said before walking in. Alya oddly followed him.
"Chloe, is it ready?" Chloe's red face turned to him and immediately stiffened.
"Yes." She slowly walked to him but kept her distance, placed the box in his hand and walked back slightly.
"Alya, could you hold this for a second?" Alya nodded and he sat the black closed object in her palm. She opened it with a snap and her mouth formed an 'o' shape and then a loving smile.
"Since I'm here, Chloe, can you tell me where my Princess is?" If Adrien didn't make it clear to not mess with Marinette, Chat would.
"I-um-no."
"That's a lie," he purred only it wasn't sweet like normal.
"She left." She corrected herself.
"And why did she leave." Chloe's heart quickened and he knew it. He knew she was scared.
"Ugg, I just-I don't know why anyone would like her over me! She's just a stupid half-and-half! I don't-"
"Chloe don't you ever-" Alya was also interrupted.
Chat pushed her into the wall with great force. "Don't you ever call her that again! If you even talk to her again I will find you and you Don't want that to happen! Do you understand?!"
She nodded in response, fear clear in her cold eyes of ice.
"Alya," he still held anger in his voice. She closed the gift and handed it back to him. She watched as he too left the school.
oOo
Chat Noir vaulted throughout Paris on his baton. He ignored the cheers and thank you's from the citizens bellow. He had one thing on his mind and that one thing was his Princess.
He crouched on a near by roof and peered through the bakery window. Her parents were working so maybe she wasn't here. She could be at the park but he still wanted to check.
He landed swiftly on her balcony and nocked.
No answer.
He lifted the hatch that was strangely unlocked. 'I can't go in there. It's her room. Privacy. But, what about Marinette.' He pushed his thoughts away and climbed down from her bed.
The room was dark but, he was able to see perfectly.a ache was startled at the sight and he suddenly didn't like his night vision.
Shreds of photos were on the floor. He picked one up and realized it was the one with her family. Then he saw the glass from the frame. There were soft black fabric scraps scattered on the carpet. The desk chair was nocked over and her design book had pieces ripped from it.
He scrambled out and took a breath while leaning on the railing.
He had to find her before it was too late. What if it was too late
He shook the thought out of his head and continued to take deep breaths.
Then, there it was. A flash of purple on the roofs across him.
He instantly raised his drooping head and jumped.
oOo
He caught up with the figure and gazed upon her. He slowly stepped to her."L-ladybug?"
"Ha, hello Chat." Her back was faced to him, hiding the smirk on her red lips.
"Ladybug, what are you-"
"It's not Ladybug!" Her harsh tone turned calmer after she said that. "It's Princess." The wind was making her twin tales bob and her newly purple ribbons flap.
"Princess?"
"Come on Kitty!" She turned to him and confusion was clear on his face. "You know, your pet name for me... And Chloe!" Her brows narrowed.
"What, no, I only call M-" he stepped back. "Marinette?"
"It's Princess!"
"Marinette, what happened to you?" He came forward and brushed the hair away from her cheek.
She pushed him on the ground. "I'm so tired of playing nice. I'm tired of being pushed around. I'm tired of hurting myself. And I'm tired of LOVING! I always have to fix things when I can't even fix myself. What used to be me." She corrected.
Her voice was calm now and steady. "I think I'm done fixing things. From now on, I shall only destroy things." She said it as if it were nothing.
She then succeeded to unclip her yo-yo. She slid it open to where it was in-half. She pushed one side down while she pulled the other upward. With black lightning and a snap, it was broke. She tapped on the pieces twice and in there place, a coiled whip appeared. The whip was of black leather and it was braided. She flung it once and it would extend if it was what she wanted. Strange, it grew and shrunk on command.
"Marinette, I can't-" Chats voice was shaky
"What Chat? You don't like it. I thought you would because you destroy things too. Then again I have been wrong about things lately. Like about you and all. To bad, I like it." She whipped it against the roof and shingles and tiles slid to the ground bellow. "I guess I should get you out of the way. Once I take your miraculous, I'll do you the favor of killing you fast. She stepped towards the cat boy with her new toy in hand. She was about to lash him when, her hand began to cramp.
She dropped the weapon and clutched her wrist with her free hand. She let out a small cry before looking back at Chat Noir. "No!" She shouted. Then she was still. She dropped her hands and her eyes and face turned to a worried expression.
"Chat, you have to leave. I'm trying to fight it but it's hard. I don't know how much longer I can. She'll hurt you and I don't want that. Please Chat, go."
He did as she said. He left as fast as he could, trying to understand everything that he had just witnessed.
oOo
Wow, she can fight herself?
Please review! ;)
