The Secret World

In the cracks of the office room, the blue eyes that watched the blonde boy leaved gave a sigh of relief.

"That was a close one." A mature female voice said before sitting against the walls. "That human almost caught me. If he had, then Marinette would be down a sister."

In the light, there was a tiny girl with long, blue ponytails tied up with loose strings. Her face was covered with a red mask made of a maple leaf. She wore a red bodysuit that allowed her to maneuver easily through the walls. Her pink lips curled up into a smile as she ran down the long corridor in the wall. Using a rubber band she found on the desk, she snapped it, making a useful rope. She tugged on it, making it sturdy. Then she got up into the rafters of the house. Sneaking around, she looked down to see another blonde boy talking to the nice red haired woman that always came over to cleaning the house.

"Hey Tikki, did you remember to take Plagg out from his cat carrier?" The boy asked, pouring himself a glass of lemonade. "He needs to stretch his legs out and get some exercise from the big trip."

"I did, he gave me a weird face too." Tikki giggled, washing the dishes. "He's in the yard now, prowling in the garden."

The girl's breath hitched for a second. Her family lived in that tree in the yard! If that mangy feline got to that knot, then he would have another thing coming!

Felix walked in and sat down at the table. The girl watched his movements with great interest. He had a keen sense of sight and nearly caught her! She watched him grab a glass of lemonade and take a long sip.

"What's the matter bro? You seem a bit...stressed?" Adrien noted, seeing the furrowing brow on his face.

"I saw a small thing, it looked like a person or something." Felix replied, tapping his fingers on the birchwood table. "I know I'm not crazy, I saw something lurking in mother's old office."

Tikki smirked and placed her elbows on the countertop. "Sounds like you've got an encounter from a Borrower."

Both boys looked at her with surprise in their eyes. The girl even gave the red haired woman a shocked look. How could she have known about her species? Did she encounter some in the past? Did her family get discovered? She bit her lip. She hoped Marinette wasn't in total danger.

"What's a borrower? Are they really tiny people living here?" Adrien got excited at the news. Finally, someone he could talk to and hold a conversation! Beside his brother, he never had any real friends. He was excited when he met Tikki, the woman was a breath of fresh air.

"Yeah, there used to be a lot of them living in here." Tikki pulled out a book, blowing the dust off. It was an old story, a story in which explained what they were.

"Your mother used to love reading stories on her small neighbors." Tikki explained, placing the book in front of the boys. "She would've wanted you to read this. It is a family heirloom after all."

Adrien went to take the book, but Felix snatched it up. He was about to protest when a clinking noise made him stop short. The girl swore under her breath when she saw the outline of another blue haired girl down below the couch. The girl was wearing a red dress with black polka dots, her hair pinned up with a clothespin. She wore black boots and a bag on her back. A penny rolled from where she had stumbled, causing the boys to look at each other.

"Marinette! What are you doing?" The girl hissed, tying a string around her waist. "How many times do I have to keep saving your butt?"

Marinette gasped at the commotion she'd caused. She saw her sister Bridgette give her a horrified look before pointing ahead. The blue eyed girl gasped as she saw the giant humans walk over to the couch. The stern looking one crouched down, his eyes peering around. Marinette squeaked and quickly hid behind the chair post. Her breath hitched as she watched the boys look under the couch. She started to panic a bit before she realized the shadows had vanished from her line of sight.

"I thought I saw something down there." She heard the stern one say, sighing under his breath. "Perhaps we aren't alone in this house."

"Isn't this great?" She heard the other one say, his voice full of excitement. "We may have stumbled upon one of the greatest discoveries in centuries! We need to find a way to communicate with them!"

"That's going to be tough, considering they keep running every time we see them."

"Yeah I guess..." He sounded so crestfallen that Marinette almost moved out of her hiding spot to see his face. Before she could, her arms were grabbed by none other than her big sister.

"Marinette!" She hissed silently, looking at the humans with a wary glance. "Are you insane? What are you doing out here! You know you aren't old enough to borrow yet!"

"Bridgette, I just wanted to see the humans! Alya told me we were expecting some company in this house!" She looked down shyly. "And I thought you wouldn't see me sneaking around."

Bridgette shook her head at her little sister's antics. "Well your curiosity is going to get you killed one day." She flicked her bangs, making Marinette flinch. "Mom and Dad are going to be so mad at you."

They waited until the brothers went upstairs to make their next move towards the hole nearby the sliding glass door. The cool air rushed towards them as they made their way across the grassy plains. Since the grounds had been unkempt for awhile, it was like trekking through jungle territory. The two sisters made their way to the leaf boat in the middle of the huge puddle that separated their home from the large house. Bridgette grabbed a small twig and pushed the boat out. Marinette smiled as she watched the waves lap against the boat. Her life as a Borrower was never dull. She always loved exploring the human house whenever her parents and sister were out. She had found some interesting items throughout the years from small pieces of thread, spindles, and even some fabrics. She was in charge of making the clothes in the house after all. Strapped on her back was her trusted pin, which she used as a weapon and a tool.

The boat stopped in front of the large old tree at the edge of the yard. Bridgette hopped out and fixed her ponytails.

"The night will be coming soon. I need to get ready for hunting." She turned to glare at Marinette, who shrunk back in her gaze. "You are staying home and working on your studies. No more visiting that human dwelling with those boys around."

"What's wrong with visiting those boys? The scary one I understand, but what about the sad one?" She gave her a sadden look. "He was really hoping to meet us! Maybe we can talk to the chief and ask-"

"That's enough Marinette." Bridgette cut her off, prying the birch to open the entrance to the Borrower community. "You aren't going back. End of discussion. And don't even think about sneaking back either. I will ask Alya to keep an eye on you while I go off hunting tonight."

Marinette sighed, looking defeated. She couldn't win any arguments with her sister when she was in this state. Taking one look back at the house, she dived underground.

Here's the first real chapter of the Borrowers story! What will happen to Marinette now? Will Adrien and Felix be able to catch a glimpse of a Borrower? What else is Tikki hiding from them?
