Hey guys, sorry this chapter is up a bit late. I was in NYC without a laptop and wifi so I was kind of unable to submit this. Hope you enjoy!

(Chat Blanc POV)

I climbed at fast as I could. Wait for me, Missfortune. Please. My claws sunk into the walls, propelling me upward. Suddenly I heard a laugh ring out and a chill ran down my spine. That was Missfortune. A burst of energy filled my body as I somehow climbed even faster.

I reached her window in time to see her say those words. "And I'm done crying."

"Missfortune, no!" I screamed, leaping into the room. I noticed that she was wearing a modified version of the dress I had drawn for her, but that wasn't the most concerning thing. I couldn't see the Ladybug earrings on her ears and the coldness in Missfortune's eyes made me worry.

"Oh? The kitty has come out to play?" Missfortune sneered.

"Yes, of course. But what are you doing? Where is Tikki?" I questioned, fearing the worst.

Annoyance crossed her face before her eyes darkened to black and the crackling balls of magic from before once again filled her hands. "Fool, don't you know curious kitties DIE," she snarled, throwing one of the balls. I let it hit me, an odd chilling sensation coming with it, hoping to distract her so I could escape. The sensation traveled up my side from the point of impact. I just barely managed to jump out the window, hoping to keep her from destroying the house. Even so, I managed to cut myself on the glass of the window. Shit, I forgot for a second that those magic balls give out bad luck. I winced, holding my leg. There was no blood visible through my suit, but I still felt the pain.

With a feral cry Missfortune jumped out and flew to a near rooftop. I followed with a huge leap. I landed on the hard roof and pain shot up my leg. It was all I could do to keep from screaming. I bunched my legs up underneath my in a crouch and waited for Missfortune to make a move. The problem is her akumatized form gives her special attack powers. My form mostly relies on defense. I have no way to injure/stop her but she has many ways to do so to me. I mean, I'm already hurt and we haven't even started fighting! I put my paws up and concentrated, surrounding them in a hazy white light. When I was done the leather was even stronger and tougher and the paws were tipped with razor sharp metal claws. A moment more of concentration and my entire body was reinforced. Even the faux cat ears on my head. At least now I have a chance of hurting her.

"No! Why are you trying to hurt her?" Plague practically screamed in my head.

"I don't know, it's almost instinctive. Plus she hurt me first!" I thought, directing my words at the black cat in my head.

"Well yes, but did you hear what she said?" He answered, an almost exasperated tone in his voice, " she said 'and I'm done crying.' She's referring to what you said to her before she flew away. Plus, you won't be able to hurt her and she shouldn't be able to hurt you. The Miraculouses prevent it."

"Then how was she able to give me bad luck?! It's because she removed her Miraculous, Plagg. I don't know what she did with it, but it's gone," I screamed inside my head. Plagg began to talk, "Yes, but-" when a second black energy ball hit me.

I didn't know what was going to happen, but then I was falling. I managed to land on all fours and survive, but my injured leg gave out and I was stuck with only one usable leg. I looked up to see Missfortune dropping gracefully to the ground. I fell off the roof? Missfortune's eyes were still glowing black and she opened her mouth. I expected her to talk to me, but a torrent of the same black magic came flying at me. I leapt up and just barely jumped over it. "Marinette? What are you doing?" I asked, trying to get the girl to talk.

The mask flickered and with it the black glow over her eyes. I saw the brilliant blue eyes that I loved full of fear. Missfortune suddenly took back control with a low growl. I felt my hair stand up as a hiss shot out of my throat. Missfortune took that sound as a declaration of war (I guess) and began flinging black balls at me at an inhuman speed. I avoided them with relative ease at first, but then I began to tire. The relentless barrage of dark energy did slow, but I did as well. I was finally able to fight back a bit, creating weapons to destroy the balls. That worked well until I tried to use the metal claws on my right hand. I slashed one of the black balls in half. I assumed that the energy would have dissipated when the ball was destroyed, but the energy settled on the clawed hand. As I moved to slash another ball with that claw it caught on my leg, ripping the leather uniform and drawing blood. With both of my legs injured it was all I could do to try and avoid the black magic balls. Several hit me and I suffered more injuries. Finally I collapsed completely in a small pool of blood. Missfortune raised a hand, ready to finish me off when I reached out a gloved paw. Missfortune didn't register the limb until I slashed her face. She put a hand to her cheek, an incredulous look on her face. The mask flickered yet again and I saw Marinette looking at me with pained eyes, looking betrayed and pitiful. "No. Marinette. No! I'm so sorry!" I screamed, thinking that it was Marinette I had hurt.

Then Marinette smiled, but it didn't reach her eyes. "It was all a lie, Adrien. You should have known that," she said in her sweet voice. Her eyes darkened to black once again as her Missfortune side took over. My eyes couldn't have widened any further as Marinette drove a ball of bad luck energy into my chest. Hatred etched itself into her face with only the slightest trace of sorrow and regret. I reached out my hand to her as I felt the ground crumble around me. I fell into the Seine, darkness surrounding me. The last thing I saw was Marinette flying over me, no mask on her face. She smirked evilly, blowing me a kiss. With that my eyes closed and water filled my nose and mouth. Marinette, I love y-.

(Missfortune POV)

I fought at the tendrils of magic holding me back. No! Let me go! My screams were not verbalized, instead directed at the monster inside my head. Missfortune, no! Don't make me hurt him! I could look out through my eyes and see how I was hurting Chat, but I couldn't control my movements. I tried everything, but she controlled me. My Missfortune side. I had always thought of it as personifying a part of myself that I didn't like, but now it was real. With the removal of Ladybug and my rejection of both Chat and Ladybug, Missfortune had been freed. I watched as my graceful cat avoided the bad luck thrown at him and felt a pang in my heart. But this time I squashed it down ruthlessly. He's not yours. That's why you gave him up. He's Ladybug's. And that's why you gave her up. Even as I said those words to myself, I heard a deeper tone saying the same thing.

"Missfortune?" I asked out loud into the darkness that was my mind.

"Hmph, so you finally decided to talk to me. Girlie, you might be me, but you're a whole lot different than me. Number one, that cat of yours never loved you inside and out. I can't believe you're so fucking stupid that you couldn't even see that," the voice chuckled, obviously enjoying making fun of me. I saw a pretty girl enter the space of my mind. Her long black hair hung in loose waves around her shoulders and her eyes glowed back. The smile on her face was more of a smirk and she wore a longer burgundy skirt and a black crop top.

"How did you manifest like that?" I couldn't help but ask. I can't do much anything these days.

Stop thinking so negatively. I'm supposed to be the negative one. "You consider me real, so I am. Just as you are able to manifest in a human form inside your head, so can I."

I looked down at myself and registered the red, off-the-shoulder top covered in black polka dots and the short black skirt I wore. "Since when-?"

Missfortune interrupted me. "Because there is someone else here to see you, you can see yourself as well. Now let me talk to you. So, why Chat?"

I knew exactly what she was asking. "He was just always there and he understood me." Or so I thought until he up and betrayed me.

I heard that, you know. And he didn't exactly betray you. He betrayed Ladybug because he didn't love her enough. Don't you ever listen? "He was always there, for Ladybug. Did Adrien care about you like that before he knew you were Ladybug?"

I glared at the girl, trying once again to wrench control from her. With a flash, I was able to and at that exact moment I saw Chat with a snarl on his face and claws in the air. I was unable to stop a look of fear from crossing my face. Missfortune took back control and I heard a hiss from Chat. The fight continued on and although I was still in my body, I couldn't feel the movements.

"Of course he did." I think...

"Marinette, honey, I'm you. You can talk to me. And if you don't, I can still hear your thoughts. I know you still love him. I know he hurt you. But, if you don't decide soon, he's going to get hurt. Regardless of what you think, I may have control, but only to keep him from hurting us again. I'm forever a part of you now. So what do you have to say."

It was all a lie? I felt my heart break a little and from the look on the other me's face, her heart was broken as well.

Yes.

I crumpled onto the ground, unable to bear the pain. How do you know?

She placed a gentle hand on my shoulder and kissed me between the eyes. He never looked at Marinette the way he did at Ladybug and I.

Pain ripped through my head and I screamed. Missfortune gave me the reins and I took them with glee.

I felt the pain coming from a slash on my face and I took a second to make Chat pay. "No. Marinette. No! I'm so sorry!" he screamed.

I smiled, but I knew it wasn't convincing. You don't have the right to call me that. Marinette-I LOVED YOU, and you never loved me back. "It was all a lie, Adrien. You should have known that," I said in a sugary sweet voice. I let Missfortune take back control for even though I hated him at that moment, I couldn't bring myself to kill him. Chat, I loved you. I'm sorry. I watched as Marinette drove a ball of bad luck energy into his chest. I took back control to watch him fall into the river, no mask on my face. I smirked at him, blowing him a kiss.

With that his eyes closed and I watched as he sunk beneath the water. Marinette, I love y-.

I heard his last thought echo through my mind. A scream tore out from my mouth. "NO!" I dove into the cold water, swimming desperately. This is a lie right? He didn't, he couldn't have said that. Could he?

I'm going to be gone next week as well, so the next chapter won't be up for a while. Just know that I'm not deserting you guys just yet. But, this story is approaching the ending. It won't be long.
