"How are you feeling kid?" Asked Plagg one of Adrien's servants. "Did that healing bath do you good?"
"Yes. It fixed all my wounds, I soaked in it for days. I'm almost completely healed."
"Well good because your wife is worried sick."
"Marinette? Oh no! I forgot all about her. Is she alright?"
"My sources tell me that she's been looking for you for days and I think she's dead."
"What?!"
"I don't know for sure all I was told was that there was a funeral for her."
"Why didn't you tell me this sooner?!"
"Because I knew you'd look for her immediately! Your entire body was burnt up! You needed time to heal!"
"Well I've healed long enough!"
And he was off before Plagg could stop him. He began frantically searching for Marinette. For three days he looked the entire kingdom top to bottom but he found no trace of her. Then he looked in the woods which was also very difficult but in the end he found her on the ground. Pale, cold, and lifeless.
"Marinette!" He cried in horror. He rushed to his wife's side, he took her in his arms and wept. "Oh my love, I shouldn't have left you alone."
As he sobbed bitterly a wise owl who lived in the tree where her body lied, looked at him with eyes of pity. Adrien looked up at the owl and recognized that he lived there.
"Who did this?" He asked the owl. "Who did this to my wife? My princess? My angel?"
"Alas dear prince it was the girl's wicked sisters." The owl spoke truthfully. "They poisoned her and left her to rot."
Anger seethed through his veins. The animals of the forest all realized that their prince, the son of the god of the forest was now vengeful.
...
Back at the kingdom a huge ball was thrown with hundreds of young suitors courting Chloe and Lila. The two princesses were thrilled that all the men in the kingdom were now waiting on them hand and foot. Their plan had worked perfectly.
"To us." Chloe cheered lifting her wine glass to Lila's. "May we be the most beautiful and most admired."
"Yes and may our pest little sister and her pathetic husband rot for all eternity." Lila added.
The two girls cackled at their success. Suddenly the doors and windows burst open, wind currents blew out the candlelights, and thunder struck. Everyone gasped in horror as Adrien carrying Marinette's body.
"Who are you?" King Tom asked. "And why do you have my daughter's body?"
"I am Prince Adrien. Son of the god of the forest and husband to Princess Marinette." He spoke. "I am here to avenge the death of my wife. Good people of this kingdom you have been deceived and lied to."
"What do you mean?" Queen Sabine asked.
Adrien glared vengefully at Chloe and Lila.
"These two witches attempted to kill me and then killed my kind and wonderful wife."
"He's lying!" Chloe cried. "We would never hurt Marinette!"
"He killed her! He did it!" Lila lied. "We must destroy him before he kills us all! Destroy him you fools!"
"I have witnesses that prove otherwise!" Adrien whistled and the owl flew in and perched on his shoulders. "Tell them what you told me."
"I saw them dump the girl's body in the woods and they boasted about how they poisoned her."
The crowd gasped.
"That proves nothing! It's an owl's word against ours!" Chloe said.
"Oh no? What about this?" He whistled again and donkeys in chains were brought to them. "Father, change them back."
The donkeys then turned into the two guards that Chloe and Lila hired.
"Tell the truth or you'll spend the rest of your lives on a farm plowing on a farm while getting whipped daily!"
"Alright! Sometime ago the princesses paid us to leave Marinette in the woods to be eaten by the beast!" One of the guards said.
The crowd gasped again.
"Chloe, Lila, how could you?" Sabine cried. "She was your sister!
"I...I'm sorry! It was her idea!" Chloe cried. "She came up with the whole thing!"
"Traitor!" Lila snapped.
"Why? Why would you do this?" Tom asked.
"Why?! Why?! Because that's all everyone cared about!" Lila said. "Oh Marinette's so beautiful! She's so kind! She's so wonderful! We did it because she had it coming! And you know what I have no regrets! I'm glad she's dead and I hope she stays dead!"
"You are both selfish and evil girls!" Adrien cried. "And you both deserve to be punished! Father!"
All at once the great god of the forest smite the girls with his power, transforming them into two animals that represented what they were. Chloe a jackal and Lila a snake. Animals that symbolized deceit and evil. Then they ran and slithered out of the castle while the two guards were arrested.
After that Adrien took Marinette to the healing bath and placed her body in it. For many days she stayed there while Adrien never left her side. Finally his patience was rewarded as his wife's eyes opened again.
"Marinette! Thank heaven!" He cried hugging her.
"Adrien? You're here, you're alright." She hugged him back and cried tears of joy. "Oh Adrien Ibwas so afraid that you had been hurt."
"Everything is alright now. I'm here and I'm so happy to have you in my arms again."
"Me too but why did you leave?"
"When your sisters ruined my cat skin I began burning from the inside. I would've died if my father hadn't taken me back to his palace and placed me in this healing bath. I'm so sorry I left you all alone for so long. I promise I'll never leave you again."
They kissed each other happy to finally be reunited. Never to be parted again, after that they returned to Adrien's castle where they filled it with laughter, flowers, and children. They visited Tom and Sabine often and as for Lila and Chloe well... Adrien wanted to make their curse permanent but Marinette with forgiveness in her heart wanted them to be changed back that is if they were willing to let go of their hatred and jealousy.
