Chapter one:
A hidden cave as the size of a shark's mouth, contained glowing sea shells playing a never-ending game of hide and seek, and have never wanted themselves to be found. Soft music blared throughout the coral walls, as to who is composing, it is more of the strings of a huge harp being the one who's playing. In the center of the cave, a young couple twirled themselves in tune of the music, almost as if their bodies were being manipulated like strings from the enchanting harp. The girl partner, who you could see her features clear as day, stared intently at her partner's face that she couldn't decipher in the darkened cave. Marinette always found herself in this predicament, dancing with a mysterious stranger, and always pleading for a name. It's like a Cinderella tale gone backwards, her own prince charming doesn't enlighten her his name, and his glass slipper is more of a green fin.
"So, you're still not going to tell me your name?" She asked, even though it came out more of a statement.
Despite his face being in the shadows, Marinette knew he's smirking at her. "Did you know patience is a virtue, my Purrincess?" His teased seductively while she couldn't help how his voice made her shiver.
His alluring voice portrayed a mythology tale. He reminded of the Greek god Eros, while she's the modernized human of Psyche, who fell madly in love with his voice alone since she wasn't allowed to see his face. Marinette knew it's silly of her to be in love with him, even though he's a made up person in her subconscious. However, she couldn't help how solid these dreams were, and how much he has moved her heart. Something else tugged on her mind, like she's forgetting something, but she couldn't grasp it.
"Here this now, I shall be coming for you," They both froze at his promised declaration, along with the harp no longer being played.
"What do you mean?" She asked confused, noticing how the cave has turned itself into a foggy state.
Her mind became a lost ship at sea, with no sense of direction, except for a hypnotic song that has kept her afloat. She tightened her grip on her dreamy syren, not ready to depart from him or ever if she's being honest with herself. If she could, she would stay under water with him and be contempt to listen to his gut-wrenching song till his heart contents. Many times she has heard him sang this song, which contained a sense of sorrow and a prolong longing that's grown more desperate. There's no lyrics being drawn out, only piano keys at a high octave voice, waiting for a victim to be drawn to its captivating voice.
Marinette could feel herself starting to awake, but before she awoke, she could finally comprehend what the message of the song meant.
"Call out for me, my Puurincess, I would come for you when you say Chat Noir…"

Marinette opened her eyes to slits and could hear heavy rain pounding against her window. She let out a huge yawn, stretching out like a lax cat, and then unlocked her phone to check the time. Her eyes widened and she cursed loudly at herself for taking a nap too long. She and her friends decided to meet up at the cinema, to see Mecha Monkey v.s Cyber Shark 3, and now she's going to be late... again. In a swift blur, she ran down her small staircase to quickly get herself changed for her outing. Once Marinette clumsily got herself ready, she quickly left her own attic bedroom, but of course had to miss a few steps down when she got to the third level of her home.
Tom and Sabine looked up from the kitchen counter, at their daughter in warm amusement, not surprised by her sheer clumsiness, just savoured it with endearment. To this day, they silently thanked everyday that their precious child made it out of the river, and not even thinking how it was physically impossible that they found her on solid ground. Marinette on the other hand, still imagined up her faceless syren who saved her, but she always believed her subconscious made up that conclusion to relieve a traumatized event.
"You're still going to the movies, ladybug?" Her father asked using her childhood nickname while she nodded fervently.
"Yeah, I just hope I make it on time before the previews are over, I still can't believe I overslept," Marinette mumbled out the last bit. She hastily grabbed her own designed raincoat decorated with ladybugs on it from the broom closet.
"Here sweetie, grab an umbrella too, it raining cats and dogs out there. Are you sure you can't just reschedule?" Sabine added with hesitation, still never at ease when her child went out somewhere without them.
Marinette stopped her frantic buttoning for a moment, to quickly give her mother and father a reassured hug, since she always understood their reluctance when she went out somewhere. After the tragic incident, they became so overbearing to the point Marinette felt trapped, but she knew their overprotectiveness was justified. However, as she became a teenager, she needed them to bend out her freedom and they slowly gradually did.
"I promise I will call you when I get and out of the the cinema," she quickly kissed them both on their cheeks," I love you guys and I will see you later!" With that, she exited out of the bakery and had no idea that would be the last time she would see her parents.

Underwater of Paris, a golden castle stood high and mighty for all to see, and thousands of potential brides waited outside the gates as a potential mate for their dreamy prince. Said prince sat on his throne, with a bored look upon his face, but he quickly schooled his features when another potential mate came in.
Adrien smiled charmingly at Chloe Bourgeois, the daughter of the richest Earl syren, even though his entire being recoiled at being in her presence. He tried to seem casual by rubbing his sore chest, which seemed to work towards the oblivious blonde girl, but as for his father who watched him like a sea dragon… not so much.
"As you know, My father is very wealthy, your highness. I'm sure my seashell would please and satisfy your richest taste." It's custom for a potential mate to offer their seashell formed in a piece of jewelry, given that it's a part of them like their own very soul. Unknown to anyone but him, he has already gave away his seashell ring to his beautiful Heart's Mate.
He barely glanced at the luxurious pearls, which Chloe noticed immediately. She clenched her sharp teeth together, annoyed how she could never reach Prince Adrien, since she belonged right by his side. Chloe is the most gorgeous, also has the most enchanting voice, and is the second richest syren in this entire kingdom. It's laughable he would even dare pick another, a mere common peasant for an option, while she's the glowing diamond of the reef. No, she would make him hers, even if she would have to be way forward with her intentions.
She boldly moved forward, laid her yellow skin hand on his tail and fluttered her blue eye-lashes at him. "If you worried about children, Prince Adrien. I'm extremely fertile to have many babies as you want, your highness." Chloe purred with the allure of her voice, expecting him to take her right there on his throne. Syrens were groomed in this mantra: seduce their victims, take them as theirs, and breed as much as you could. So you could understand her surprise when he slapped her hand away and glared at her deadly. "I'm not interested for you to bear my children, so please leave and don't offer yourself to me like that again!" With a thundered roar, which shook the kingdom like a tidal wave, he left the throne room without a backward glance.
For many years, King Gabriel Agreste has never been caught off guard, but his own son changed his tune about that. As low as it is, a potential mate is strived to be mated, some syrens have even mated once they look upon one's own mate. However, when one has offered to bear children their carnal instincts would take over. For the life of him, Gabriel couldn't understand how his son resisted the temptation of the tasteless Chloe, unless his son preferred males which he didn't have a problem with. There's something more going on here, if Gabriel didn't know any better, he would say his son has already found his own preference… his Heart's Mate.

Adrien had no clue where he swam to, due to how his mind and heart ached to the point he couldn't even breath. He found himself back underwater of the seine river, which made it a lot worse since his beloved was so near. Before he could stop himself, he let out a huge wail where the clouds above obliged his desperation to rain harder for his own tears. It had rain so much the seine river has now flooded, where he could now ventured out to find his princess. As he swam, these thoughts glittered in his mind.
"Ready or not, my Purrincess. I shall be for coming for thee…"
