Chat held Marinette in his arms as he jumped from roof to roof. The village girl wrapped her arms around his neck to keep herself from falling. The cold night wind crashed against her face. The raven-haired girl braved the harsh winds and looked at the beautiful twilight scene.
Chat jumped across the moon's silver gaze, and Marinette glanced down at the ground. She'd looked at things from below, but now...
"Wow," she whispered.
Chat smirked. His eyes turned to the girl in his arms. Her gaze to the world below them caught his attention. "Enjoying the view?" he asked, landing on another roof.
"Yeah, it's...amazing..."
Chat Noir continued forward until they reached their destination. A large stone tower that looked to the sky stood before them. The roof was flat and had six small square stones standing on the top.
"Where are we?" Marinette asked, still in Chat's arms.
"A special place," he looked at the village girl.
Chat carefully set Marinette down and guided her inside the tower. The wooden door creaked open and revealed a set of spiral stairs that led to a small door on the ceiling. Chat opened the door and helped Marinette step on the roof.
Her bluebell eyes marveled at the starry sky. The small stars created constellations, and the streams of light emitted a collision of colors.
"Oh, Chat. It's beautiful!" she gasped.
"Yeah...it is," he spoke sadly, sitting down.
Marinette sat next to him. Her face filled with worry. Did she say something wrong? "Chat?"
"This place is special because my mother would always take me here."
"Your mother?"
"Yeah. Whenever I needed a break from my daily routine, she would always sneak me out, and we would just sit here and look at the stars."
So he lost his mother...Just Marinette lost her mother. "What about your father?"
Chat's hand clenched into a fist. "My father...changed. He used to be different, but when we lost mom...He imprisoned me in my own home. He says the outside world is dangerous and that I shouldn't be out there. He has no right! No right to keep me locked up! I'm his son, not his captive!"
Chat quickly realized his mistake. He had said too much and whipped his head to Marinette. When his eyes went to her..she was crying. Was it because he yelled at her? Maybe his story was a little too sad? But it was the truth.
Marinette threw her arms around Chat, catching him completely off guard. "It's okay, Chat," she whispered. "You don't have to feel that way. I know how hard it is to grow up without a mother, but your father loves you. He just doesn't want to lose you. His protective nature towards you is because he loves you. I may not know your father, but I do know you're in his heart. As well as your mother...Maybe...it wouldn't hurt to...talk to him."
Chat's eyes widened. Talk to his father? Would the great King Gabriel really take time out of his busy schedule to speak with his only son? Chat told Marinette her idea would never happen. His father was too...busy and wouldn't have the time.
Marinette stared into Chat's green eyes. "Of course he will! You're his son, and he will put you first."
The green eyes stared blankly at Marinette. His face showed no emotion. Chat blinked. "Let me take you home," he said scooping Marinette into his arms.
"Chat?"
He ignored Marinette and leaped from the tower. The whole way was filled with silence. Marinette dared not to say anything, and Chat didn't want to speak. When they reached Nottingham, Chat left Marinette at the forest edge where they met. Then, without a word, he left. Disappearing into the dark starry night.
I'm back! And my mouth is healed of pain! I can eat normal food! Hooray! Also, sorry for taking so long to post, I have been going through a rough time these past few weeks, but I miss getting emails about someone posting comments on my story and all the likes and follows I get...So, here's an update and when I get myself back together, I'll go back to my weekly updates. Love you! Bye!
