Hey, my wolves! I hope you all had a good weekend! I smell something exciting in the air. At least for me. I can't speak for you all. My favorite Akuma shall be in this chapter! I will make sure of it! Let's get started! Enjoy!
Adrien felt his heart flutter and his stomach did a flip every time his dark-haired crush. Her smile could light up his entire world. Her beautiful bluebell eyes were pools that he could drown in. Her silky hair urged him to run his hands through it.
Her kindness was admirable. Her courage could easily beat anyone else's. The creativeness she held inside could match anyone else in the world. She was just...amazing.
He wanted to tell how he felt. He wasn't going to back out of this. It had taken him a while to finally realize that Ladybug was never going to love him. It was obvious that they weren't meant for each other as he once thought.
Adrien looked around the school for Marinette. Adrien found her chatting with Alya. Alya glanced over at him. She must have noticed how nervous he was because she gave him a quick thumbs up and said goodbye to Marinette. Adrien approached Marinette as if she was a wild animal that would be scared off at any sudden movements. She turned around and saw him. She smiled and waved.
Adrien's heart started to beat faster. It was beating so loud, he thought that she would hear it. He tried to keep his cool.
"H-Hey," He stuttered.
"Hey, Adrien. What's up?" She asked, having no idea what was about to happen.
"Can I speak to you?"
"Sure."
Adrien led her down the stairs and into one of the corners.
"What did you need to tell me?" Marinette asked innocently.
"I um... I really really really like you, Marinette. I've liked you for a while now."
He heard her gasp and saw her eyes widened.
"I think you are beautiful and so smart and creative. I think you are so talented."
"Adrien..."
He watched her as a storm of emotions flew across her face.
"I... don't like you like that," She said, quietly.
Adrien felt his heart starting to splinter.
"That's ok. It was stupid anyway," He responded before running towards the school doors. He heard Marinette call out for him to stop.
His heart started to shatter. As he was running down the street, Plagg flew out of his jacket.
"Kid, stop a take a breath," He suggested, trying to comfort him the best he could.
Adrien halted.
"Why should I? No one loves me," He said, shaking the tears away.
"That's not true," Plagg argued.
"Really? Then who loves me?"
"Your teammates care about—"
"Care and love are two very different things, Plagg!" Adrien snapped before sitting down next to a trashcan.
"Well, then I love you," Plagg said. Adrien looked up at him through tears.
He held the kwami close and stayed there.
Marinette sat in her room.
"I didn't mean to hurt him," Marinette sighed as she started to pace.
Tikki sat on her desk, watching her holder.
"Just give him time. Heartbreak needs time to heal," Tikki said, trying to give Marinette a soft smile.
Marinette looked out of her window.
"Maybe being Ladybug will help me clear my head," Marinette said. Tikki nodded and got ready to be sucked into the miraculous.
Moonwatcher raced across the rooftop. She leaped over mounds of snow in the way. She pushed her muscles to go faster. The freezing air stung her face.
She smiled as her legs carried her towards the Eiffel Tower. She continued until her legs felt like they would break off. Moonwatcher settled on the Eiffel Tower.
She saw a couple of silhouettes jumping around. She guessed they were others. One looked to be Chat Noir. Another was Ladybug's. She thought she saw Carapace. She wasn't sure. When she was tired of sitting around, she stood up.
She ran towards the edge and backflipped off. She let out a howl. She fell down towards the ground. She used her legs to push off. She saw Wildfire. Moonwatcher smiled. She ran close behind him. Moonwatcher tapped his shoulder. When he stopped in confusion and looked back, she jumped over him before he saw her. He turned back towards her and screamed.
Moonwatcher laughed.
"It's not funny," He grumbled.
"I've done that at least twice!" Moonwatcher laughed. "It never changes!"
Moonwatcher gradually stopped laughing.
"I need to talk to you," She told him.
"Ok," He answered. She watched him for a quick moment. He had calming brown eyes. She could get lost in them. They were like his soul. Kind.
She suddenly felt her throat go dry. She had butterflies fluttering around her stomach.
"I-I um..."
Wildfire watched her, a smile starting to crack through. He never thought that he would hear Moonwatcher stutter. On the battlefield, she was a fierce warrior that could not be stopped. Over the past few months, she seemed to really connect with her animal instincts which he had yet to achieve. She had grown faster and stronger. She seemed to have gotten smarter too. Carkai had warned him not to grow too close to her. He was going to listen to his kwami.
He snapped back into reality and tried to listen to what Moonwatcher had to say. That wasn't easy. His mother had finally started to come back home. She wouldn't stay for long and her and his dad would always be fighting, but she was home. Tonight, she said that she was coming over. He wanted to see her.
Something suddenly caught his attention.
"I like you."
The world froze. She what? Never in a million years would he have ever guessed that she liked him. Carkai's voice echoed through his head. Wildfire shook his head.
"I'm sorry," He choked out.
"I-I don't—"
"It's ok," Moonwatcher said abruptly. Wildfire stared at her. She had a smile plastered on her face. He watched her. It didn't look forced. Either she was a really good actor or she didn't care.
"I'll go now," She said, her voice dropping.
She leaped off in the night and Wildfire felt guilt eat at him. He looked away and hopped towards his house. Before he left, he heard a lonely howl.
Marinette walked into class. She tried to make eye contact with Adrien, but he refused to meet her gaze. He continued to look down at his desk, sorrowfully. Marinette sighed and sat down next to Alya.
Clouds blocked the sun. They were dark and growled. Rain poured down onto the roof. It all spilled down the side of the roof.
"What happened?" Alya whispered.
"He...I rejected him," Marinette whispered back.
"Oh. I thought you liked him. No. I know you like him."
"Girls!" Mmd. Bustier snapped.
"Sorry," They both mumbled.
The lights flickered and a laugh echoed throughout the school.
Hope abruptly stood up and yelled," Nope!" She raced out of the room with others following her. Marinette and Alya stood up and followed everyone out of the door. Marinette glanced back to see Adrien was already gone. The school shook and kids screamed.
Everyone was suddenly transported to the basketball court. A woman hovered above the crowd. She was dressed in blue and red clothing and had fairy wings on her back. Her face had a large amount of makeup on. Black makeup in the shape of a butterfly covered most of her face. She wore a long dress with scarlet red coloring and dark blue edges. Her eyes were a piercing ocean blue. In her hand, she held a red wand.
Everyone grew quiet.
The fairy announced," My name is Butterfly! I was bullied for thinking that Hawkmoth might be misunderstood!"
Her eyes scanned the crowd and she gave them all a deranged smile.
She pointed her wand at someone in the crowd.
"Oh no! Put me down!" An all too familiar voice yelled. Marinette stood on her toes to see Moonwatcher hovering above the crowd.
"I'm lucky I transform so fast," She muttered.
"I will put on a magic show for you all," Butterfly announced.
"Wait! What!" Moonwatcher yelled.
Butterfly held out a hand and an ocean blue butterfly emerged.
"Oh no! Don't do it!" Moonwatcher threatened.
The butterfly flew towards Moonwatcher. She tried to bat it away. It landed on her nearly invisible bracelet. Moonwatcher went limp. Blue light covered her and it slowly faded. Everyone watched in horror. Butterfly dropped Moonwatcher to the ground. Whatever stood up, wasn't Moonwatcher. It was the same shape, but it didn't look like her.
She had long black hair with red highlights on each end. She had a black suit. On her chest was a patch of red fur. Her hands were covered with the color red. In the middle of her forearm was covered with orange fur. Around her elbow was yellow fur. It was the same for her legs. A long black tail extended from her lower back. A black mask covered her face. Her eyes were startling blue.
And I'm going to stop through for now. I hope you all enjoyed it! Till next time my wolves!
