Here's chapter 4! To be honest I'm doing this chapter because I was asked to do more of this and trust me I do plan to do more. Also Guest asked me 'since when were they family?' and I'm thinking you mean Hawkmoth and Adrien. It's a matter of I believe that in the show Gabriel is Hawkmoth so I carried that idea into this fanfic. This chapter's shoutout LilaacStars
Chapter 4:
Adrien simply COULDN'T sleep. Not while he knew that Ladybig was sitting starving in a prison cell 100 feet below him. He had to see her again, not just hear her, his time see her. The teen walked to the door and tried to open it but it was indeed locked and on top of that his father's skeletal minions were marching about outside.
But Adrien knew this was coming, for god sake he seen it a mile off! That's why he prepared! The blonde creeped towards one of the windows and opened it. That's the most freedom he was allowed thanks to the bars but the ex-model was WELL prepared. He had been continuously s working with about 5 bars and sure enough they had loosened. Recently the bars had come off completely off, leaving enough room to climb out.
He slipped on all his black clothing and climbed out off the gap and used all the little bumps and and dents and scaled down the wall. He jumped behind a bush and worked his way round the side of the building using the shadows his father had created to his advantage.
He came to a trapdoor which he was 100% sure brought its user to the dungeons. Adrien tip-toed down the spiral staircase and endured the dizziness off the long trek for the second time that day. When there was no more stairs to tip-toed down he walked threw all the corridors, racking his brain to remember where he was going. When the corridors began to look familiar he knew he was close, but something dawned on him last minute. Adrien wanted to SEE Ladybug. To see her he needed to OPEN the door. To open the door he needed a KEY. And a key was something he DIDN'T have. As if on cue a couple of skeletons waked past. He noticed one of them carrying keys. The blonde lifted a nearby stone and tossed it, alerting the guards. They ran off screaming battle cries and much to Adrien's delight, dropped the keys doing so.
He he ran and grabbed them and dived behind a nearby wall. He had to be quick because if the skeletons were alerted of his disappearance(is that even a word?) he would be found in no time. The cold, grey corridors, despite how similar they are, started to become more and more familiar until eventually he spotted the door he was looking for. Adrien ran like he had never run before towards the door. A tear began forming in his eye but he held it back. 'This is it, I'm gonna see my lady!' The door was getting closer. 'She isn't transformed this is the big reveal! It isn't quite what I imagined." The door was right there, right in front of him. His hand touched the metal, it was cold, colder than last time. He put his ear to the door, he heard breathing. "M'lady," he whispered. He heard movement and a thud against the door. " Chat," a familiar voice whispered back. He heard her hold back a tear. "Is Hawkmoth there?" Adrien bit his lip. Would Ladybug hate him if she found out he was getting the 'special treatment.'
"No," he managed to choke out. Adrien knew what Ladybug's facial expression and he didn't like it. "Huh?"
"Long story."
" Ya think!"
" Ssshhh I'm opening the door now!" And the room behind the door fell silent.
He pushed the key on the lock.
He turned it.
He heard the click signalling the lock was disabled.
Adrien took a deep breath and pushed.
The door opened ever so slowly as if trying to make the situation more tense.
Then the door opened. Adrien fell silent. Marinette fell silent. A tear rolled down her cheek.
"Adrien?"
"Marinette?"
