Chapter 8:
Sean lived a happy life. He was happily married with 2 kids. A boy and a girl. Holly and Thomas. Him,his wife Rebecca and their two kids lived in a small apartment in the centre of Paris. It wasn't the fanciest of houses but they were happy. Rebecca worked in a local supermarket and Sean was a waiter in Le Grand Paris Hotel. Holly and Thomas both attended Collège Françoise Dupont and were getting relatively good grades in all their classes.
Holly and Thomas were both ridiculously obsessed Paris' heroes, Ladybug and Chat Noir. The two children that shared a room had split the bedroom in half, half of it decorated black and green and the other, you guessed it, red and black. Merchandise littered the floor and posters covered the majority of the walls. Sean and Rebecca didn't mind, to be fair they both had a secret love for the heroes but they wouldn't tell the kids that. They would never her the end of it!
The small family had a set routine that they followed every day. They would wake up at 7am, get ready, Rebecca would head to work, Sean would walk with the kids on the way to school stopping at a bakery right next door to the school for breakfast. They would greet the married couple at the till and buy 3 crossaints, two chocolate and one plain. Sean would let the kids sit in and eat their breakfast and he would 9/10 times join them. Every morning they would watch a girl, presumably the couples daughter, run downstairs and out the door on her way to school. This blue haired girl was pretty much the trio's alarm clock. If she was running the kids would join her in being late.
When the the kids were in school, Sean would make his way to work. He worked from 9:30 to 6:00 pm every weekday. Sean never complained about any thing on his life. He had a happy family, his job payed well, they had a roof over their head, food morning noon and night, there was thing to complain about.
That is until Ladybug and Chat Noir lost the battle to Hawkmoth. No one knew what had happened. The only thing Paris knew was that they were screwed. Sean had to helplessly watch as his kids were killed and his wife transformed into a skeleton. Sean got away. He ran and ran and ran until he collapsed into a heap in an alley.
He fell asleep not caring if he was found, nothing mattered any more. He was free to complain. But everything changed when he was found. Just not by the people he bought would find him.
The only thing the man remembered was waking up surrounded by a bunch of 17 year olds. They looked harmless and as they helped him up and fed him, Sean knew he was safe. The kids explained that they were rebels. A brun-ette introduced her self as Alya and a boy wearing a baseball cap introduced himself as Nino. There was others such as Mylene, Ivan, Nathanaël, but of course in this group of kind teens there was Chloe. Sean knew Chloe a bit to well. She was the mayor's daughter and she had got many of her fellow employees fired.
In he end Sean travelled with the group as they tried to devise a way to save Ladybug and Chat Noir. He learned a lot about them in a short amount of time, like Alya owned the blog his daughter followed and that Nino was best buds with the one and only Adrien Agreste. Chloe burst into tears at the mention of the name and Sean knew the group expected the worst.
Sean had only been with the group for a week before they were ambushed. Sean was captured and was taken to Hawkmoth. He knew he wasn't going to getting out of this alive. He wished the kids well and allowed the skeletons to lead him to his demise.
But after talking (well begging) with Gabriel Sean was 'hired' as his sons personal servant. As Sean was taken to Adrien's room he made a mental note to tell him about the rebels. And that he did.
Things continued this way until Sean was instructed to bring Adrien to the courtyard. He didn't tell Adrien what he was going to see, because Adrien recognised the name. Marinette Dupain-Cheng. The girl that sprinted out of the bakery every morning. Alya's best friend. The girl that sat behind Adrien in his school years.
As Hawkmoth rambled on about respect, Sean noticed a small group of teens hiding nearby. He slowly snuck away to the group. As he thought, it was the rebels. He explained who it was and noticed as Alya started to tear up. Nino tapped her shoulder and pointed to a skeleton. Alya looked and gasped when she seen Adrien. He group followed her gaze and silently cheered. Chloe shushed everyone so she could listen to Hawkmoth's speech.
"Hello there. You may be wondering why I am punishing a simple teenaged girl? Well let me tell you. This simple girl! A former bakers daughter! Is none other than you beloved Ladybug. And that," he pointed at Adrien. "My son is Chat Noir."
Everyone except the skeletons gasped. Marinette started to cry more . Alya burst out into tears but stopped as Nino whispered something in her ear. She nodded in agreement and joined Nino in whispering it to everyone else. Nino whispered it to Sean and the servant grinned. This was gonna be AWSOME!

Sean walked over to the skeletons holding Adrien. He took a deep breath and said, " uh M-master Hawkmoth w-wants Adrien t-to be closer." The skeletons grunted in approval and handed the boy over to Sean. The two walked closer to the scene and Adrien whispered to Sean.
"I don't know you too well Sean but I know a plan when I see one!"
Sean smirked but said nothing.
################
Marinette struggle against the ropes binding her arms, but the more she struggled it seemed, the tighter the ropes got. She gaped in horror as Gabriel revealed her secret to the courtyard. Boy this man was cruel. She turned her head and seen Adrien get escorted closer to her by a man. She realised Hawkmoth was punishing them both. She would die and Adrien would have to watch it. The blue-nette returned her gaze to her captor who was smirking deviously. He raised a hand and pointed it at her and instantly pain shot through her body. Her legs collapsed beneath her and she could feel her heart almost breaking through her chest.
Marinette didn't even realise she was screaming. The pain was unbearable. All her limbs were on fire and her head felt like it was about to explode. The world began to darken and she shot a quick glance at Adrien.
"I'm sorry." She managed to whisper.
Then everything changed. Marinette heard battle cries, screams, sobs. She was only able to catch a glance of a some-what familiar red head disappear, Adrien closely in tow, before she completely blacked out.
FINISHED! Sooo what did you think of this chapter? I'm happy with it any way! I get like I had to add Marinette into Sean's daily life, I dunno why, but I felt I had to.
Next chapter will explain that... strange ending.
Please review, follow and favourite!
