Chapter 16
She gained consciousness to see chat fighting Prom Queen and crying while attacking. She tried to get up but the pain quickly stopped her. She had a huge gash over her side. She was still bleeding but she could see that Chat had tried to aid to her wound. "Aaaaah!" Chat Noir screamed as he stabbed Prom Queen in the shoulder. "NOOOOO!" Ladybug screamed as she began to lose consciousness again. She saw chat turn to her with horror on his face. "What have I done?!?" Chat said as he tried to figure how to purify the Akuma. He knew the only way to save Chloe and Marinette was to purify the Akuma and put things the way they were. He broke down and cried but quickly stopped himself and ran over to Ladybug. He tended to her wound and tried to help her gain consciousness. He began to see her eyes flicker. She opened her eyes to see Chat crying over her. You-you need to purify t-the Akuma." He said with so much guilt in his eyes. He helped her to her feet and she gasped with how much pain was brought to her with such a simple task. He cried more at hearing her in pain. She stepped on the staff, breaking it in half. She just simply put her yo yo on the Akuma and purified it. She said as loud as she could "Miraculous Ladybug!" And a blast of light came around and fixed all the damage done except Ladybug's side.
Chloe sat up And rubbed her head, wondering what happened. Chat was still holding her up but he knew she was about to transform back into Marinette and so he didn't bother to help Chloe. Marinette was now unconscious. Before chat leapt off with ladybug he turned to Chloe with such anger in his eyes "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" The words shook Chloe and she felt guilt for the first time in years. He threw himself and Ladybug gently to his estate. He laid her on his bed and she transformed. Tikki shot out of her earrings and was shocked. Chat de transformed and was still crying as he pulled up on side of her shirt to see a deep gash in her side below her rib cage. "Tikki, it's all my fault!" He said as Plagg flew to be next to Tikki. Tikki was silent and that only made Adrien more frantic. He knew he couldn't tell anyone or else they would ask what happened and that was too risky. "I told her not to but she didnt listen and I couldn't get there fast enough. I couldn't protect her!" He said still crying. He pulled himself together and started tending to her wound. He knew she needed new clothes but he wasn't going to change her so he called up Natalie. Natalie he knew he could trust. "Ok so Marinette got hurt because of a attack on Paris and I can't tell anyone or else it would be huge and horrible and she needs to change into new clothes but I don't want to change her so can you?" All these words shot out so fast. Natalie was confused but said yes. She walked in and helped change Marinette into one of Adrien's old t-shirts and a pair of her old shorts. Adrien was waiting outside with Tikki and Plagg in his jacket. It was weird for him to have two Kwammis in his jacket but he didn't focus on that. Natalie walked outside of his room and motioned for him to go inside. " I am not going to tell anyone about this by the way... I trust you, Adrien." She said with sympathy. "Thank you, Natalie!" He said as he shut the door.
