This is the second part of the story. Please feel free to point out my mistakes.

Enjoy :)

"…Marinette?" The voice that was calling her was getting farther and farther away. She saw her hands reaching for the voice, but nothing. She has to go, go to the voice, but how? Her knees were not responding, it was as if she was glued to the ground and her arms were the only ones that can move. Apart from the pain in her chest, she felt nothing. And she hated it, hated that feeling – being in pain and not knowing what's going on. All she knows is that, the voice that was calling to her was the only thing that's keeping the pain somehow bearable.

"…Ladybug…" The voice called again, but this time it was softer, almost a whisper. She forced herself to stand up, to move, anything… but it was no use. It was like she was being separated from her source of strength and she was getting weaker and weaker by the second.

"Come back…" She shouted over emptiness. "…please… don't… NO!"

Marinette felt her head jolted upwards only to be greeted by Alya's questions. "Marinette! Girl what happened?"

"What? Nothing happened. I'm fine." She answered slightly puzzled at her best friend's questions.

"Sure, bawling your eyes out is fine." That's when Marinette felt the dampness on her cheeks. Has she really been 'bawling her eyes out?' "Tell me what happened, girl. First, you went to class looking like you haven't slept in days and just now you were crying in your sleep."

"I'm fine, Alya." Marinette assured. "I don't even know that I'm crying." She said wiping her tears with her palms. She really has been crying a lot, hasn't she?

"You don't know, huh? Well I'll let you know." The annoying voice of Chloe popped near Marinette in an instant. When she looked up, the Mayor's daughter was scowling at her, one hand placed on hip. "I didn't know one could cry so horribly while sleeping and not to mention the occasional deafening shouts. I thought one hour of school life would be peaceful because the teacher was absent until you ruined the free time for me."

"At least Marinette only did those in her sleep. Your voice on the other hand, Chloe, annoys everyone to pieces and that's just you talking. Oh, not to mention you don't even have to be asleep to do that!" Chloe huffed at Alya's response before walking out of the room with Sabrina.

"Have I really been shouting?" Marinette asked.

"Yeah dude. But it almost seems like your pleading to someone." She was expecting Alya but Nino answered. That's when Marinette noticed that everyone's eyes were on her.

"Uh, I'm sorry." She said not looking anyone in the eye. She must've disturbed them from enjoying their free time.

"Are you sure you're okay? Having nightmares in the middle of the day isn't a good sign, you know." Alya asked again, and Marinette looked guiltily. She didn't want her best friend to worry. And now, by the looks of it, she was worrying all her classmates – except for Chloe, she wasn't sure about Sabrina.

"I'm sure. I don't even remember what I was dreaming about, probably just spiders and maybe that's why I cried." And Marinette told them the truth. She doesn't remember what happened in the dream, or nightmare as it seemed a more appropriate name. All she knows is that now that she woke up, a part of her was extremely sad, almost empty… like that part of her was gone.

"If you're sure…" Alya looked at her warily. Marinette gave her a pleading look, one of those 'Please, Alya. I don't want to stay here forever like this.' Luckily, Alya understood what she was trying to say and let the topic go. "Okay girl. Why don't you freshen yourself up then we can eat lunch? Meet us in front of the school when you're done."

"Yeah, I'll do that." After giving Alya a grateful look, Marinette rushed out of the room and headed straight to the toilet.

"Tikki," she called once she locked herself in the cubicle, "Can you tell me why I was feeling like this again? You mentioned something about two things before, right?"

Her Kwami nodded. "We Kwamis are only allowed to tell limited knowledge to our Miraculous Holders about these kinds of things but I assure you Marinette, you have nothing to worry about."

"You mean, my earrings are the ones making me feel pain and sadness?" Marinette asked perplexed. "I thought I was supposed to be lucky…" She muttered.

"You are lucky Marinette. That's why these things are happening to you. I didn't told you what exactly the two things before but since you've been having nightmares for three days now, it's time I tell you about it."

"About what?"

"When a Miraculous Holder finds it hard to deal with certain aspects of things in life, the miraculous helps the holder. It usually happens after the Holder becomes one with the Miraculous they possess. And since you've accepted some time ago that you are Ladybug, and Ladybug is you, the Miraculous is one with your heart and mind. Your bond your Miraculous is now stronger and it recognizes your internal battles and worries."

"So my Miraculous is helping me?" Marinette asked.

Tikki nodded. "Yes. And the two things that you can get from a Miraculous' help is either a Vision or a Sign."

"A Vision or a Sign…" Marinette echoed. "Could you give me more information about it?" She asked hopefully.

"I'm sorry, Marinette." Tikki shook her head sadly. "We Kwamis follow a rule about the information that we could give to our Holders regarding this subject. But don't worry. I'm sure you'll figure it out." Tikki pecked Marinette's nose and she smiled at the Kwami's gesture. "And even if you don't, I'll be able to answer some more on the seventh day."

"But Tikki, I already feel drained… and sad from all the nightmares. Everything at me screams negative emotions right now. If this goes on… What if I become Akumatize?"

"That won't happen Marinette. No Akuma can target you for now because it was your own Miraculous that was triggering your emotions. Therefore the Ladybug Miraculous, since you started having those dreams, has been shielding you from the Butterfly Miraculous. The pain and sadness that you're feeling aren't exactly negative. Your Miraculous was telling you to feel those emotion, it was helping you get those emotions out of your system to turn them into something positive – the Vision or the Sign – that could help you. It's like summoning a Lucky Charm without your magical yoyo but with yourself."

"Thanks, Tikki."

Marinette walked slowly to the front school where she was going to meet her friends. She used that small time for herself to think. She may not remember what her dream – er, nightmare – was about but she has been having it for three days now and it's getting her worried. Tikki said it could be a vision, and if it is, does that mean that her energy will be drained in the near future? Will she lose? What could possibly happen that will end up making her feel… empty? But then again, it could be a sign. But what is that sign supposed to tell her? That she'll be alone in the end? And more importantly, in what way is her miraculous helping her?

I'm sorry if the story is going slow - I know the decription says that there will be some Lukanette and Adrienette but it hasn't happen yet. Anyway, I hope you're all enjoying it so far.
