Hey everybody! Just to be clear, this chapter is a little bit sad. I'm going to apologize in advance for all of my grammitical and spelling errors, see? I even spelled that wrong. Anyways, enjoy Chapter 7 of Helpless in Every Way...
So there was good news and bad news. The good news was that Adrien had found Marinette!
But the bad news was they were in the hands of a supervillain somewhere unknown.
Well at least that was a start thought Adrien.
He moved over to Marinette, but found restraints on their wrists, at least they could move a bit though.
He got to her side and gently nudged her shoulder.
No reaction.
"Marinette," he whispered, "it's me, Adrien."
This time Marinette stirred, but her eyes remained shut.
Adrien heard a deep voice, "I'm afraid she won't wake up any time soon without our help."

Nino bit his lip worriedly, Adrien was never late for school. Never missed a day of school without excuse. Why should today be any different? Alya leaned down and nudged Nino's shoulder.
"Do you know where Adrien is?" she asked
"I was about to ask you the same question." he replied
Alya's eyes widened, "You don't think the Artist caught him do you?!" she exclaimed
Nino's eyebrows drew down, "I hope not."

Marinette took a deep breath taking in the scenery.
It was perfect, where she was. Nothing worried her and her mind was more clear than it had ever been.
Sure, she couldn't leave her balcony until she woke up and went back to the real world, but this place was better.
The only problem was it felt as if she was missing something… but she couldn't figure out what.
Suddenly she heard a voice.
"Marinette," it said quietly, "it's me, Adrien."
That's what she was missing, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get to him.

Adrien saw three figures emerge from the darkness. Love-Killer, the Artist, and finally, Hawkmoth.
"What do you mean?" replied Adrien cautiously.
"It's Love-Killers power of coarse." Hawkmoth said, "Controlling whatever being she wants for as long as she wants. Currently, she is controlling Miss Marinette."
Adrien looked down at Marinette in disbelief. So, she wasn't going to wake up?
"Don't worry about her Adri-honey," purred Love-Killer, "I'll be your new one."
"Never." replied Adrien with clenched teeth
Love-Killer frowned, "You'll change your mind soon enough." she said
Adrien turned his gaze to Hawkmoth, "Why do you need me here?" he asked, "You have my miraculous what more could you need?"
"Because I know that you know who Ladybug is. If you tell me I will let you and Miss Marinette leave unharmed."
Both the Artist and Love-Killer gaped at Hawkmoth, "What about our deal?!" spat the Artist
"Yeah! You said I could have my Adrien!" fumed Love-Killer
"No," said Hawkmoth, "I said I would help you get revenge on these people, I did that."
Hawkmoth turned back to Adrien, "So tell me, who is Ladybug?"
Adrien turned his gaze to Marinette, sleeping peacefully on his lap. She would stay that way unless he did something.
Adrien took a deep breath as he said, "Ladybug is Marinette Dupain-Cheng."
Hawkmoth smiled and closed his eyes, "Then I don't need these akuma's anymore." he said
Suddenly Love-Killer and the Artist doubled over as two butterflies flew out of the Artist's pencil and Love-Killer's sunglasses. Hawkmoth snapped his fingers and Nathaniel and Chloe disappeared in a puff of black smoke.
"Where did they go?" asked Adrien
"Back to the place they were akumatized. I don't need them."
Marinette, still asleep, stirred once more, slowly waking up.
"So what are you going to do with us?" asked Adrien
"A deal's a deal isn't it?" said Hawkmoth, "I'm going to let you leave."
Suddenly, the cuffs on his and Marinette's wrists disappeared and the bars of the prison disappeared as if they had never been there. Adrien stood up with Marinette in his arms, and walked out of the open door near Hawkmoth.

Far.
They were so far from home, Adrien could barely see the Eiffel Tower. And just to make matters worse, it started raining. Adrien groaned, just his luck.
He crouched inside and alley way before kneeling down and setting Marinette on the ground.
She had a long horizontal cut across her left cheek, multiple bruises throughout her body, and bleeding cuff marks on her wrists. Adrien hissed at the sight. She was hurt, and it was all his fault.
Marinette lazily opened her eyes. Adrien looked down at her with widened eyes, "Adrien?" she said in a voice so low he could barely hear, "What happened?"
"Shh," he crooned gently, "you're safe now. Close your eyes, rest."
Marinette followed his soft order as her eyes closed once more.
Adrien frowned, Hawkmoth had the miraculouses and new who Chat Noir and Ladybug were.
Who knows what Hawkmoth could be planning.
I've never read a Fic where Hawkmoth actually gets the Miraculouses, so I thought I might try! Sorry if the POV changed to much. Tell me what you think in the reviews! (it might encourage me to post more often) Big thanks to everyone who has reviewed, especially Elphabalover101 for reviewing 4 times now! I appreciate it!
