"AHHH!"
Another blood curdling scream came but it was so close. She realized it was her that was screaming. Then she felt it, the unbearable white hot searing pain coming from her head. She didn't know what happened. Placing a hand on the ground she tried pushing herself up but was unable to move. Her body wasn't listening to her and she tried willing her legs to move but she couldn't feel them. She couldn't feel her legs.
"What's going on?" She tried saying but the words were muffled, she couldn't hear herself very well. Confused and scared, she heard another voice.
"Marinette."
"What?"
"Marinette, Marinette."
She attempted to move her head to where the voice was coming from, and when she managed to turn it that's when she saw him. Adrien was upside down being held by the ankle above the ground by Siren who was cackling.
"Marinette."
Siren tossed Adrien aside and ran at her with a swiftness Marinette had never seen before; moving like she was the wind. Suddenly a knife appeared in her hand. She ran up and stopped just before stepping on Marinette, and taking the knife in both hands, she rammed it into Marinette's chest with considerable force. But even though Marinette could clearly see the knife plunged inside in her chest, she couldn't feel it, she couldn't feel anything, only see, see the crimson of her blood coming from her chest, covering her hands, it was everywhere until she could see that she was lying in a pool of her own blood.
"Marinette, Marinette, MARINETTE!"
"Hm?"
Her eyes sprung open, revealing her to be not on the street, bleeding, surrounded by large building but seeing instead fluorescent white lights beaming down on her making her feel like she was in heaven, smelling not blood but antiseptic. That's when she realized that she was in the hospital and all of what just happened had been a dream.
"Marinette, are you okay? You are crying."
"Hm, what?" Wiping her face she noticed that her cheeks were damp. "Oh it was just a bad dream."
"So you are sure you're okay?"
"Yeah, I'm totally fine, just a dream."
"What was the dream about?"
"Oh um, nothing…"
"Marinette? What aren't you telling me?"
"Um, it was just a dream about another fight with Siren…" she trailed off looking at the ground, not being able to meet Adrien's eyes.
"And what happened in this fight?"
"Well, you were captured by her and calling my name. My body... it just wouldn't work I was scared and my head was throbbing," she started picking up speed while talking, "then she threw you at a building like a rag doll, and then, then…"
"Marinette, what happened?" he asked, concern laced in his voice.
"She came at me and k-" she choked on the last word tears falling from her face.
"She," swallowing he continued, "she killed you." he finished slowly.
Marinette nodded, still crying. Adrien walked over to her and pulled her towards his chest, he felt hot streams running down his cheek. They stayed there hugging, until a nurse came in to check on how Marinette was doing.
"Ah Marinette, how are you doing?" she paused when she looked up and saw the two teen with puffy eyes and red faces "Oh sweetie. What's wrong?" the nurse asked rushing over with a tissue to wipe up the tears.
"Oh it's nothing, I'm okay," she replied grabbing Adrien's hand.
"Okay just let me know if you need anything," turning to Adrien she continued, "you take good care of her, she's a wonderful girl."
Marinette blushed while Adrien replied with a soft smile "I will, and you're right," he looked at Marinette, "she is a wonderful girl."
The nurse smiled and left the room, leaving Adrien and Marinette alone again. Adrien smiled at Marinette and sat down beside her on her bed. Laying down next to her he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into his chest.
"Shmm ymmmm mnrien," Marinette said.
"What?"
She pulled away a little from his chest and repeated "thank you Adrien," then she pulled him closer to her again.
In seconds he could hear a soft snore coming from her. Smiling he closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep as well.
