A/N: Sorry, I lied, I guess you guys didn't have to wait until tomorrow for this chapter. I thought, since it's Friday why not? Any who, let's get on with chapter 6 shall we?

Chapter 6: The Not So Lucky Charm

GROOOOAAAN!

Chloe's eyes snapped open.

"What the heck?" she asked groggily, "That sounded like nails on a chalkboard," she inwardly cringed.

Then she looked up and saw that the walls had begun moving inward, slowly on the path to crushing her.

"HELP! Somebody! Anybody! HELP MEEEEEEE!" Chloe screamed at the top of her lungs and tried to free herself.

ZAP!

She howled in pain.

"Maybe she has us in a certain order?" Alya shrugged.

"Yeah, but how would she organize us?" Nino asked.

"Age? Birthday?" Alya asked.

"Maybe by the first letters of our names?" Marinette suggested.

"Let's see. N and A first, next C, and then A. She must have the vowels alternating!" Alya exclaimed, "So that means that the next person is…"

"CHLOE!" they shouted in unison.

The walls were almost to her shoulders, about two feet away, and the creaking sound would not stop.

"Help… " she rasped. She had been calling for help for several minutes and had lost her voice. She tried to keep her breathing even and less heavy, because any small movement could trigger the shock wave.

ZZZZZZZAP!

"AAAAAAAHHH!" she cried out.

Her hair was on end, she had scorch marks and her face, arms, legs, and neck, and was bruised all over.

"Help…"

"What was that?" Marinette asked as they ran through the mansion.

"I don't know. It sounded kind of like someone screaming," Alya articulated.

"Hold up!" Marinette put her finger up, and they stopped and listened.

"AAAAAAAHHH!"

There it was again!

"That sounds like Chloe!" Nino said.

"Let's go! I think it's coming from this way!" Marinette shouted, and the other two followed her down a narrow hallway.

It was dimly lit, and Marinette wished that Adrien was there so that he could use his night vision.

I hope he's okay, she thought.

"Look over there!" Nino pointed in front of them.

A door was at the end of the hallway.

"Do you guys smell something burning?" Alya asked.

"Hurry up and open the door so that we can help her!" Marinette urged.

They ran down the hall and shoved the door open, but as soon as they did a force on the other side began pushing it back.

"We need to keep the door open!" Alya yelled.

"Lucky charm!" Marinette shouted without thinking.

A red and black-spotted metal pole fell to the ground.

"Woah!" Marinette wobbled as she tried to pick it up, then she jammed it in between the walls that had apparently been moving. They groaned and shook, but stopped for the time being.

She ducked under the pole and entered the room. Chloe was hanging on the opposite wall with frazzled hair and burn marks all over her.

"Chloe! We were so worried about you! How can we help?" Marinette asked, examining the chains.

"Wait! Don't touch that-AHH!" Chloe shrieked as another wave shocked her and Marinette too.

"Ouch!" Marinette shouted.

Chloe groaned and struggled to keep her eyes open.

"Marinette, hurry! The walls are gonna crush you!" Alya screamed.

"I have to get Chloe out!" she yelled back.

"Marinette, there's no time. You have to save Adrien," Chloe whispered.

"No Chloe! I have to get you out too!" Marinette argued.

"Marinette, stop. I'm trying to be a good person for once. If you've taught me anything, it's to put others before yourself," Chloe said firmly.

"Chloe, please…" Marinette cried, tears forming at the corners of her eyes.

"I'd rather Adrien live than me, I still love him," she said.

"But-"

"Marinette, the walls!" Nino shouted.

They creaked louder than they had before.

"Go Marinette," Chloe smiled sadly, "This is my last wish. Save him for me. Please," she begged.

Marinette looked at the door and back at Chloe.

"Go," she said again.

Suddenly, the pole gave way, and the walls came rushing in. Marinette jumped out of the room just in time before-

CRASH!

"NOOOOOOO!" Marinette wailed.

Alya and Nino stared at the ground sadly.

Chloe was gone.

"Ha! So one of my traps did work! It serves that little brat right," Lila cackled.

"Let us go!" a voice screeched.

"And why would I do that?" Lila looked annoyed.

"Because if you don't, you're gonna get your butt kicked by Ladybug!" another one smirked.

"Oh will you guys just shut up!" Lila screamed before pressing a button on a remote in her hand.

Four tiny shrieks filled the room

"Now keep quiet or I won't be as lenient next time!" she ordered.

"You won't get away with this," Plagg muttered under his breath.

LaythK: Thank you so much for the review! It really made my day, and I understand you on the cliffhanger part, I've just always done that with all my fics I think (well, most of them anyway). I'm glad you're enjoying it!

See you guys tomorrow for another chapter (or two). TTFN! (;
