Marinette

Marinette woke up to her phone ringing. She checked the time, it was still early. She picked up the phone and saw the call was from Adrien. Why did he call her when he was just downstairs?

"Hello?" She yawned, "why are you calling me, aren't you just downstairs?"

"No, I'm at my house."

Marinette's heart stopped, "Are you okay? Why are you there?"

"I figured out why my father wants the Miraculous. It's my mother. He's bringing her home. I'm sorry, but I couldn't bring myself to fight against that."

"Are you telling me you joined him?"

"I'm sorry, I want my mother back. I needed to do it. I won't force you, but I need you to—"

"What? Hand over my Miraculous? I don't think so."

"Marinette, please! My mother went missing almost two years ago!"

"Then we can get her back in a different way, using different methods! Not Hawk Moth!"

"Please,—"

"You're just like Lila. A liar, and a traitor!" She hung up the phone.

Tears slipped down her cheeks and she cried.

A few minutes later she was on her balcony as Ladybug. There had been something wrong with Adrien, she was going to find out what.

She left for the Agrèste mansion.
