Mari opened an eyelid to see Theo gazing at her. He tapped her forehead and draw the finger down her face. The girl angrily slapped his hand away and jumped out bed. With a few shoves, she had Theo out of the room.

"Aww I thought you wanted to play," He groaned, tapping the door in a teasing manner.

"Go away!" Mari barked, she began to brush her hair and got changed quickly.

The raven haired girl walked out of her room, she was wearing a red shirt, black cardigan and charcoal trousers. The tanned skin man tapped her shoulder and looked her up and down. He had the nerve to check her out!

"You could of shown a little more..." He pulled the collar of her shirt forward," You,"

With an angry grunt Marienette slapped his hand away," Stop it you perv,"

"You're so cute when you're mad," He said, he tapped his finger on her nose.

Marienette scowled and stepped away from him, heading straight for the kitchen. Seeing as it was a Saterday, she and Theo would be stuck with eachother for the time being.

Just them two. In a house alone. All weekend.

It didn't help with his constant advances, none of which wanted. The girl slouched onto the couch and turned the TV on, after skimming through the channels she deemed none peaked her interest. Marienette read a book instead.

It kept her in a little world for a while. She was perfectly happy until Theo decided he was bored and took the novella off her. Mari looked at him, her lips were pressed into a thin line as her nose crinkled with irritation.

"Theo can I have my book please?" She asked, trying to reach for it.

"How can you read this?" He questioned, flicking through a few pages," There are no pictures,"

Mari lunged for the book but ended up tripping over the man's foot. She caught her balance and turned angrily," Not all of us need pop-up books to understand things Theo. Now please give it back,"

With a menacing laugh, Theo chucked the book into the sink and turned the tap on. The novella had been left open so the pages were soaked through. Gasping, Marienette tried to rescue it, but alas, it was to no avail.

"I'm going to my room," She grumbled," Leave me there,"

Marienette walked away as quickly as she could. She slammed her door as loud as she could, then she opened her design book and began her favourite task. Aside from seeing Adrien of course. Thinking about him sent butterflies through her stomach.

A phone dinged, it was her own. Eagerly, she picked it up. Alya had invited her to dinner. Why shouldn't she accept? Quickly glancing at the height of her room to the road, she decided a safe route to climb down.

In the closet next to her bed, Mari owened some extra pillows. Even though her door was locked, she was pretty sure Theo would find a way in. The girl put the pillows underneath the covers and puffed them up to resemble her figure. Deciding it was good enough, she proceeded with phase two of her plan.

Above her bed there was a large window, she opened it and stuck her body out of it and looked down. It looked higher now she was in this position. Sighing, the girl took some shaky steps along the small terrace. A pipe was leading to the bottom off the building. There was her goal, she could slide down it.

Silently praying no passers by would notice, Mari continued along the wall to her destination. A sudden gust of wind made her shake violently. Every ounce of her strength was used not to cry out for help. All the adrenaline was rushing through Marienette's veins.

With a deep-breath, the girl lunged for the pipe. Her foot slipped and she fell with it. The air went out of her lungs as she scrambled to clutch her goal. Marienette's desperation paid off as her nails dug into the black pipe.

The scare was over, well for the most part it was. The breeze swept her hair and it brushed above her head. Eventually, feet met ground and the tension left Mari's stomach instantly.

On that moment the girl promised she would forever stay on the ground.

"So your dad has left you in the care of a pervert?" Alya asked, wiping up a cup and putting it in the cupboard.

Nino entered the room upon hearing the mention of such a thing. His face told his reaction perfectly, shocked and appalled. Allister was in his arms- mumbling about random nothings to himself.

"Pretty much," Mari mumbled, drawing circles on the counter with her finger," Can I hold him?"

The tanned-skin man nodded and handed his son over to her. Giggling like a madman, the little boy played with a strand of Marienette's raven hair. A strong smile formed on her face as such little things entertained him.

"No more talk of that in front of this little one though," Mari said, sticking out her tongue at the boy. He laughed in return.

"Just a quick question, how did you get out without him noticing?" Nino asked.

Marienette remained quiet, twiddling her thumbs. Alya glared at her," Marienette Dupain Chang you tell me how you got out of that building before I count to three,"

Allister and Mari looked up at Alya wide eyed," Don't get all mummy mode on me!"

"One..."

Marienette looked at Allister, they both looked back to Alya. Nino had taken himself in the hallway- laughter was echoing through the wall. The raven haired girl looked at the ground, trying to avade Alya's gaze.

"Two..." Alya counted again, Marienette stayed silent," Thre-"

"I climbed out of the building," Mari shouted, Alya dropped the plastic cup she was holding.

Nino came back in, sharing the same open-mouthed look his wife had. Allister began laughing at his parents strange faces. Red creeped into the mother's face, Marienette prepared herself for Alya's rage.

"You are getting a time out!" She ordered, pointing to the hallway- Marienette laughed," I'm not joking,"

"Your mummy is evil," Mari whispered to Allister who shook his head.

The little boy reached out for his dad who picked him up accordingly," Mummy isn't evil she is an angel,"

The husband and wife burst out laughing. Mari pouted and tried to fight the blush of embarrassment that attempted to brace her face. As usual though, she failed. Her face was bright red, Alya and Nino were gasping for air.

The timer dinged, Alya exclaimed," Tea is ready,"

The four of them went into a room Mari didn't get to see during her other visit. A brown dining table lay in the middle of the room atop some white carpet. A shelf was behind it with pictures and a cream dresser was under it. They all sat down and ate.

Marienette knew she couldn't climb back into her room, it was impossible. This meant she would have to go through the door. Luckily, she had her key so if it was locked she could still go in. Unluckily, Theo would probably be waiting for her.

Sighing, Marienette began to brace her fate and entered the apartment block, gazed at the bakery, and then headed upstairs. With a shaking hand, she tried the door. It was unlocked. The raven haired girl opened it and peaked inside.

"Get in now," A voice she knew to be Theo's demanded with a firm tone.

Shutting the door behind her, Mari walked into the room. The man was sitting on the sofa, watching a sports show. He didn't seem that angry but when Marienette went to sit on the other chair, she could see his angry expression.

Theo sat up and glared at her," Do you think I'm stupid?"

"No,"

"Well you seem to think I can't tell the difference between pillows and a person," He sneered, getting up.

Marienette's lips formed into a thin line as Theo advanced on her. She wanted to move but the fear had her muscles frozen. A hand gripped her arm. In response, Mari yelped. She was thrown onto the floor as hard as the man could do it.

"Get to your room- next time it will be worse," Theo warned, Mari scrambled into her room.

Aww poor Mari :(

The Alya scene was really fun to write because I could actually imagine her character doing something like this.

I don't usually update a story this frequently but this story is a very passionate topic. I hope the chapters I do publish are up to standard.

hope you enjoyed.
