AN: Thank you guys so much! Lets just say, this is gonna be a lil bit darker in the future (no nasty mature themes!) but there'll be other bits like wounds, in detail on how they got it.

Chapter time! (I had no idea on what to write in the AN :P)

No...

This couldn't be possible. Hawkmoth-my father- is gone! The miraculous must have been taken by police! My breath quickens and I turn fully towards a completely pale Marinette. She stares down at her hands, her face filled with a mix of emotions.

'I-I...' I can't speak. Ladybug could surely be able to hand it? There was a nagging in my mind saying I either had to help or give my ring to someone else. I hated the thought of no Plagg. He may be annoying and cynical but he was the only thing like family I had left.

Marinette suddenly stands, she walks silently and stands next to me.

'Please sit down, Adrien. Ladybug will handle it. A-also I need to go do something, if you need something, get my parents. Bye!' She runs up to her room, slamming the trapdoor. I thank whatever luck I had and I call for Plagg, quietly.

'Plagg!' The kwami came out of a cupboard, eating some cheddar. 'Are you-?! Urgh, I'll scold you later, first we need to help LB.' I call on my transformation and jump out the window.

I wasn't going to deny my confusion. How was Hawkmoth here? Surely the police didn't leave the butterfly miraculous unattended?

I land in front of the akuma, who was just stood still smirking.

'How are you here?!' I yell, the akuma, who looked like a child, held out a hand and swiped it to the side. Just as I realise what he was doing, a force knocks me to the side. A cut leads down the side of my face. The blood slowly trickling down my cheek, my nose trailing blood into my mouth as well. The akuma was really strong, if he was only gently swiping his hand then who knows how hard it is when he uses the full extent of his power.

A clank makes me flinch and I whip my head around, I calm down after seeing who it is. But my heart rate spikes as I think of Chat Noir being missing for ages.

/\/\/\/\/\

After glaring at us for a few moments, the man with the blade chuckled darkly. He placed his cane on his belt and smirked.

The new Hawkmoth projects a screen into our cell, a video of the akuma. Nino and I watch in horror as the child akuma shoots a purple flame at Ladybug. Her body gets flung back, a crack of her body against the now-smashed glass of Marinette's Family's bakery.

Tom and Sabine run downstairs, their faces filled with shock and horror too. They run towards the spotted heroine. The akuma stops them with his weird telepathic force and traps ladybug in a stange purple cube before disapearing with her.

The screen goes blank.

The moment that happens, a flash of light appears and Ladybug falls to the floor with a thud. Her body broken.

'Ladybug?' I ask. Nino holds my hand in support as Ladybug doesn't speak. You could see her stuggling to keep her chest rising and falling. I wish I could break free of the restraints and help her.

'Why are you doing this?!' I screamed at the man. He reacted by slicing my cheek, blood ran down my face.

'I told you, the last Agreste will pay. I just need bait.'

/\/\/\/\/\

I watch in horror as the akuma disapeared. Luckily, Ladybug hadn't seen me, I felt like I wasn't ready to return because I wasn't able to save her, I just froze.

'Chat Noir?!' Two worried voices called in union. I turn and gasp at the mess of the first floor of Marinette's house. Tom and Sabine are only scratched a little bit, Adrien made a mental note of.

Adrien realised he was meant to be with them.

'Er.. I need to go!'

/\/\/\/\/\

I felt like I was drowning in my own consciousness. Everything sounded far away. I could hear a faint, frantic beeping. I felt something disapear from all over and pain washed over me. Suddenly it was like I was out of the water and my head was pounding.

'Ladybug?!' I heard my best friend's voice call.

I realised I hade de-transformed.

'T-Tikki...' I called for Tikki, Ignoring Alya for a moment. The girl was probably behind me.

'Ladybug you need to sit up.' Tikki's firm voice came from beside me. Tikki didn't say my name to protect me. I open my eyes and look at the Kwami. She looked exuasted and yet she was helping me.

'Tikki... you look e-exuasted.' I tried worring over the kwami as I sat up, 'Argh!'

My hands shot down to my side, I saw blood gushing out of a wound. I reacted by pulling off my jumper. I had stopped wearing the same clothes everyday when Adrien disapeared.

I winced at the pain of the contact beween the jumper and the deep wound. I sighed sadly as I realised this jumper was my favourite, but that was the least of my worries.

'Alya, is anyone else here?' I said through gritted teeth. 'And where are we?'

'Nino is here, but we don't know where we are.' Alya answered with slight worry. 'Are you alright Ladybug?'

'I will be. Tikki, I need you to do something.'

/\/\/\/\/\

I landed in the living room and dropped my transformation just in time for Sabine to come running in. I forgot to clean up my nosebleed.

'Adrien?! Where's Marinette?!' I froze again, I didn't know either.

A loud thud at the window made us all turn. A small, disoriented red kwami floated sadly as she held some Ladybug printed earings in her hands.

'I need your help!'

AN: Sorry for making you guys wait so long. I ton of things have been happening to me lately and I haven't been able to write much. I hope this chapter is okay! I'm not sure if I should end this fanfiction here and create another (Kinda like a part 2). I know I bought this up last chapter, but I'm not sure really...

Also, it's almost my birthday! Woohoo! I'm going to write a MariChat May fanfic and try and post it on my birthday (The 29th is my birthday).

Well hopefully the next chapter should be soon! Until then!
