"I AM FREE!" I thought as I finally entered Paris. Oh my god, I am in Paris and it looks as beautiful as I last remembered! And the best part is, everyone in costume around me, so I don't look weird or out of place! To the corner of my left was a large group of kids that looked around my age. They were all standing in front of a large building, I wonder what that place is.
"Nice costume!" A girl said as she points to me.
"Oh…thank you!" I said before turning my body away from her. I was then grabbed by the arm by a older looking woman with blonde hair.
"And where do you think your going? Lunch is over?" The woman told me.
"What?" I asked.
"You man, go to school!" The woman said. Was she confusing me for someone else.
"Uh…"
"If you don't go in now, I will call your parents!" She threaten, I didn't know if she had my father's number or not. But I didn't want to find out. I walked straight into the building, not bothering to turn around to look at the lady. I just followed a group of kids into a random room, I did not know what I was doing or going. I entered a strangely designed room with kids sitting on levels of stair cases. It wasn't something I see on TV ever, then again my dad only made me watch American TV. I never knew why though.
"SIT DOWN EVERYONE!"
A blonde woman shouted. All the kids heads turn to the woman who was ordering me in the class earlier. My god she looked scary, and it wasn't because of her costume. Her blue eyes made their way straight to me.
"Oh, so your in my class. What's your name?" She asked me.
"Adrien…Agreste." I said. Oh my god, why did I say my real name!? She will probably call my father and inform him I ran away! I am dead! I am screwed! The woman walks over to her computer and begins to click on the screen. Searching for something, she is possible trying to find my father!
"Agreste? Oh, I see you're not on my list. Are you new?" She asked.
"Yes." I responded. The woman angry face changed from a sour mean expression to a nice one.
"Oh dear, I am sorry for earlier then. You were probably trying to find this class." She said. "Take that empty seat, I will put your name in tomorrow on the roster."
The woman points to an empty seat next to…oh my god! A BLACK PERSON! Oh my god, I never met a black person before! This is so thrilling! I practically hopped right next to the colored boy. Oh my gosh, do they talk like they do on TV…oh my god that was both racist and condescending of me to think. I should be slapped across the face for thinking that.
"What's up!" The dark skin boy said as he puts his hand out to me. I reach out and take his hand in a hand shake.
"Hello." I said.
"Dude, I am so loving your costume. Trying to be a cat?"
"Yes!" I responded. I felt my cat ears twitch a little, I hope no one notice.
"Those ears are awesome!" He said, he did notice...
"Thanks I muttered. It took a while, but this thing Nino called a lesson ended quickly then I expected. Basically I just listen to the woman with blue eyes talk about our history. It was very interesting to watch the kids near me write down everything she said. It was...very interesting to be in and around. Once this lesson was over, I followed Nino outside the school till we were in front of the building. I was very big, I never thought in my life I would be attending school!
"So..." Nino started, making me turn my attention from the school over to him. "You want to grab some soda and a chicken sandwich?"
"I do!" I responded. I am about to drink soda! My father never let me drink that stuff, he said it would cause me to get pimples! Oh my gosh, I could feel my tail swings back and forth like a kitten high on life. I followed Nino to a little cafe that looked like something from a movie I saw once. With the table outside and metal chairs, I felt that I had entered one of my favorite TV shows. Nino order us a thing called Fanta! It was this orange colored drink that made my tongue tickle! It felt weird but I couldn't stop myself from drinking it! It was very taste, I liked it! I liked Nino, he was a very smart and passionate person. Although his constant mentioning music annoyed me since I had no idea what he was talking about. But other than that, I think this guys a great person. When this thing called school ended, he took me to this place he called a Café to eat something called tea. I never had that before, it taste amazing!
"So, where are from?" Nino asked.
"Uh…I think I was born in Paris." I responded. Not a common question I am asked…considering I have no friends.
"Oh, how come you came in today?" Nino asked me.
"I…" My eyes widen at the sight before me! My dad! My dad of all people was standing right near the Café! I knew this was to good be true! I knew god, the universe, aliens or what ever runs this world would never let me be free! I crawl under the table, biting my lip, I practically pray that he doesn't see me. Even with the table sheet hiding me form whatever, I am still get the feeling he might see me.
"Are you okay dude?" Nino asked me.
"Uh…" I started. "Can I tell you a secret?"
"Sure…" Nino answered, he didn't sound too sure. But I needed him right now. I crawled towards his feet and said:
"I ran away from home! The man behind you is my father and he doesn't know I ran away yet!"
"What!?" Nino asked before looking over his shoulders. He then looks back down at me. "Gabriel Agreste is your father!?"
"You know him?"
"He's the number one designer in Paris! I think he's the second most popular designer in the world." Nino said. I didn't know my dad was that popular, then again he was always talking to famous people.
"So, what do we do?" Nino asked.
"Pretend I'm not here." I said.
"No problem." Nino responded. I put my knees to my chin and sighed. Waiting patiently for a sign to crawl from underneath the table. A couple of minutes later, Nino tapped my shoulder, I stick my head out from underneath the table. Looking around, I didn't see my father anywhere. I wonder if he knows I am not home?
"Thanks Nino." I said as I climb from beneath the table. I took a seat back at the table and sighed. I then looked straight at Nino.
"So, mind telling me what that was about?" Nino asked me.
"Would you believe me if I told you that what you see on me now is real?" I asked. Nino stared at me as if I had lost my mind. I lift my hand to him, placing my right thumb in the middle of my hand, I press down. Forcing my nails to extend and curve in a cat like claws. Nino's eyes widen at the sight of what my hand had just did. It was quite frightening, I was waiting for him to stand up from his seat and scream his head off. But instead he grabs my hand and stares intensely at my hand. I could see in his eyes that he was trying to calculate what had happened.
"Are you…an experiment that escaped his lab?" Nino asked.
"No." I growled. I knew he was going to say that too!
"An advance alien race from another planet!?" Nino asked.
"I am a reincarnated soul of a person that existed 100 years ago." I said. "That person was cursed by a witch, which is why I appear as I am."
"A Curse?" Nino asked. I began to explain the story about Plagg and Tikki and how I needed to find Tikki's reincarnation in order to get rid of these cat features. By the end of the story, Nino looked beyond shocked. I hope this doesn't back fire.
"Do you know where she is?"
"No, but from what the curse says, I am like this because we are near each other."
"So if you were to leave Paris…would you look normal?"
"Tried it, I am still like this and it stinks." I growled. "I must find Cheng!"
"Cheng…name sounds familiar." Nino muttered. "But dude, do you have a place to live?"
"Nope, I was planing to sleep in a tree." I said.
"Uh...that's a bad idea. Especially since its Halloween, people do some weird shit at night." Nino tells me.
"Oh?" I asked. "Can I stay with you then?"
"Me?" Nino asked. "Dude you don't even know me!"
"So is that a no?"
"I mean, I don't mind. I just need to figure out how I am going to explain to my parents why your living with us." Nino said. He stared down at the metal table for a few minutes before looks up to me with a smile. "Yea! I think I can help you with that!"
"Good! Do you need money?"
"You have money?" Nino asked. I pulled the bookbag off my back and stuck my hand into the bag. I gripped one of the money stash I stole from my father and hand it to Nino. The young man's eyes widen in shock before snatching the stack out my hand. He then looks around the area as if he was on high alert.
"Dude!" Nino whispered at me. "Don't throw money like that!"
"What?" I asked. Nino looks down to the table and sighed again. I think I did something wrong.
"This is going to be a challenge." Nino muttered.
(Gabriel POV)
"Adrien!" I shouted as I entered the house. It would seem that the power had not come on yet, my son must be dying of heat. Good thing the workers are outside working on the back up generator...where is Adrien? He'd be right in front of me by now, is he asleep? No, he couldnt be, he hates naping in warm areas. So, where is he?
"Adrien!" I shouted again, only this time I shouted louder. I could hear my voice echo a little in the empty house. But no response, where is he? Maybe he is watching stupid movies on that website. Those video's will turn his brain into pudding. I sets my keys and wallet on the coffee table by the door and made my way to my son room. Only to stop when I notice a light in the darkness coming from my office. I walked over to the door and nearly died.
It was clear as the sky, my office window was broken. It was broken large enough for a person to practically walk through it. I turned my body around in a haste and ran to my sons room. His door wasn't even closed, and he wasn't there. I ran into his room, into his bathroom, I even ran into his closet to find him. Shouting his name to the point the heavens could hear me. But he was gone, my son was gone. He escaped! I knew I shouldn't have listen to that man when he told me about the window! I should have sealed it up like the others! Now my son is gone!
"ADRIEN!"
(Adrien POV)
"Burr!" I purred as I wrapped my around myself. A cold chill past through me, it was weird. It was like, a dark aura just slapped me on the face, I wonder what that was.
"You okay?" Nino asked me.
"Yea, just felt a breeze." I said.
Kikkie: Going to end it here! Thank you for reading, please review and have a lovely day!
