Chapter four
Dream to Sea
XXX
Marinette was sent back to her room, no punishments, not even a slap on the wrist. She laid on the bed as she reminisced over the events in the cafeteria. Marinette couldn't believe that Chat Noir was real. Sure, she was handed a picture of him, but it's different when she encountered him in person. There was a tiny hinge of hope that he would recognize her. However, the way he perceived her as a perfect stranger, darkened that tiny light of hope. Marinette was stubborn, which was why she went to extreme lengths to prove herself to be his friend. When she pulled the fire alarm, she had no idea where that exhilarating courage came from. On the other hand, Marinette was desperate to be friends with him, so it must have clouded any rational judgement.
She wasn't sure of what she should do. Hawk Moth wanted her to use Chat, her possible new friends, and the list could go on. Marinette wasn't stupid, Hawk Moth could be lying to her about the end of the bargain for her freedom. However, if she could manipulate the other akumas' dreams, why not Hawk Moth's? If she played her cards right, she and the other akumas could bust themselves out of here. For now, her main focus was Chat Noir, and she hoped that she would dream about him tonight. Marinette turned off the light and found herself being lulled to sleep.

Marinette was falling in her own little rabbit hole. She screamed in fright, until she landed on the cold hard ground. She slowly sat herself up, not feeling any pain from the fall, as she gathered her surroundings. She was in a cell: it was cold and very claustrophobic. Marinette saw Chat in the corner, with heavy chains attached to his wrist, as he made himself small as possible. As she was about to get closer to him, her feet came in contact with the water. Her and Chat both screamed at the heavy amount of water poured into the cell.
"Is it true that cat's hate water, Chat? If it is true, then it sucks to be you!" Someone taunted through a hidden speaker.
White-hot hunger hummed through Marinette's entire being. She couldn't believe the cruelness that Chat had to endure. It wasn't just him, no, it was the other akumas as well. Marinette had to swim up, her fingers now touched the ceiling. Were they planning to drown them? Marinette though in apprehension.
She frantically looked for Chat before she gasped. Those chains, those damn chains, were pulling him down into the water. Without hesitating, Marinette dove into the water, and swam to him. He couldn't see her as he desperately thrashed at her. However, she felt no pain by his claws, except for the burning lungs dying for oxygen. She tugged on the chains as well, but they wouldn't budge. Marinette felt a heavy pressure on her shoulder. Chat was unconscious and wasn't breathing. She screamed at this, earning bubbly bubbles busting out of her nose and mouth.
Marinette needed to go up for air, but she couldn't leave Chat hanging. Suddenly, she felt a bug crawling on her arm. Her eyes widened when she saw it was a bright ladybug. She gingerly touched it before it began to glow like a firefly. She held onto Chat as the water began to descend down into a huge drain. Finally, air came into her lungs, and she greedily sucked it in.
She coughed out loud and was relieved to hear Chat cough as well. She made him face her, while she touched the chains on his wrist, before the chains turned into sand. They were now barefoot, their toes curled into the cool sand, and a wave touched them with a simple tease. They now stood at an unfamiliar beach. Marinette was in shock. Did she do this? She glanced at Chat before she smiled at his content expression. He was staring at the sunset, captivated by the orange and red conspiring into each other.
"I've never been to the beach before, it's always been my dream…" Chat drawled out loud.
"Beaches are quite wonderful, you can just dig your toes in the sand, without a care in the world," Marinette piqued, but he didn't hear her.
He didn't even respond when she touched his cheeks and tilted his head to face her. She took a deep breath and swore passionately. "From now on, I'm going to prevent you from having nightmares, Chat. Good ones, not bad ones, I promise…" The dream began to fade like a painting becoming wet. Then, the two dreamers came into consciousness.

Chat woke up slowly. He looked out his window, the glistening moonlight still illuminating his room, not even close to sunrise. He rubbed his neck nervously as he contemplated over his dream. It was the first time, in a very long time, there was a light at the end of his nightmare. His nightmare turned into paradise. He dreamed about the beach: he could smell the salty air, the ticklish sand, and hear that faint voice through the waves. As long as he could remember, he always heard a voice of encouragement, which helped ease his nightmares. Chat could never respond to the voice, it was like a cat caught his tongue.
He wondered what made him have such a good dream? Nothing out of the ordinary of his routine, wait a minute, that rebellious princess he encountered at the cafeteria earlier. Chat had to admit, getting her riled up, was quite a catastrophe. She had claws and wasn't afraid to use them. She must be new because he knew every Akuma in this God forsaken ward. Something in his chest warmed when she said that she wanted to be his friend. Chat could read people easily, but there was a no hint of deception in her blue eyes. Her eyes were a beautiful ocean blue that almost made him want be drown in her heavenly eyes.
Chat shook his head from his cheesiness thought, particularly of a girl he didn't know the name of. He knew by tomorrow, she would hear his reputation from the others and would stay clear of him. He was a menace. A cat made of destruction. A curse of bad luck. However, he was curious of this girl, so it wouldn't hurt to gain some information about her.
He sighed as he laid his head back on the pillow. He would really like for them to be friends, but he had to put his guard up as always. Chat learned this motto at a young age: 'It's you and only you against the world, Chat, and no one would stand with a freak like you.'
Unknown to him, later on in the far future. There would be someone who would hold an umbrella up for him and they would conquer any storm together.
And done. I hoped you enjoy. I hope you guys liked a little of Chat's perspective. Love to hear your thoughts as always:}
