The sun was rising and I knew exactly what I needed to do. I knelt down beside Chat and checked his temperature again using my lips against his forehead, just like a mother would check on her baby. He was still burning up and I could see his body trembling. If I wasn't sure before I certainly am now, I'm going to the feast.

I take my yo-yo off on my hip and begin to swing my way to the cornucopia. I land in a tree not too far away with a good view of everything happening in the centre of the arena.

There are 5 bags laid out on a table, each with a Miraculous symbol on it. I see that mine and Chats has been combined into a gold paw print with a gold ladybug in the middle.

Swiftly, a goat appears from inside the cornucopia.

Why didn't I think to do that! I curse myself.

The goat has grabbed the bag and ran. I jump down from the tree and roll forwards, freezing on one knee I look around for any movement. When I see the coast is clear I begin to run towards our bag.

Just as I reach it a knife slices across my cheek, knocking me over. Next thing I know a horse in on top of me. I kick them off and try to run, the horse teleports in front of me and pushes me backwards. Before they can teleport again I throw my yo-yo around their legs and pull.

The horse crashes to the ground and I pounce, punching them straight into the gut. Before I know it the knife which cut my face slices against my arm. The blood begins to flow and I feel a little dizzy.

Come on Marinette, I encourage myself to continue, for Chat.

I flip myself backwards and take the horse with me. They land on their back and I'm on top. They push a thumb into my wound and I almost pass out with the pain.

"I would kill you quickly, but you've got my Miraculous so I'm going to drag it out nice and slowly. Just like your little friend from District 11, I bet she screamed as Queen Bee sliced her in half!" The voice was that of a girl.

She has the dagger at my throat and I'm starting to feel pressure from it. I close my eyes and mental tell Chat and Adrien that I'm sorry, however the heavy weight seems to disappear. That's it, she must have killed me.

"You killed Rue!" The monkey miraculous had appeared and taken the horse off me.

"Let go of me." She screams trying to hit the monkey. I'm guessing it's the male from District 11 by their size and skin colour. He begins to bang her head against the cornucopia, she screams for Cato, over and over and he hammers harder.

So she's working with Cato who's from District 1 which means ... my heart catches in my throat. My thought was right, Chat is Adrien. I've got to make sure I get out of here.

My attention is pulled to what's happening in front of me. I hear the cracking of her skull as she is pounded against the golden wall. Blood and chunks of hair are flying out into the field. Suddenly he drops her to the floor and comes over to me. He grabs his bag from the table.

"Is it true what she said? You were allies with Rue?"

I stutter out a yes.

"I'll let you have this one then bug, for Rue."

I quickly grab our bag and swing my way back to the cave, just as the canon sounds. Luckily, Chat's still asleep. I sit next to him and look through the bag. Inside I see medicine which looks like some type of ointment. I squeeze it out it's tube and smother it all over Chat's leg.

I continue to look through the bag at the supplies. We have a sleeping bag and some pain medicine. As I'm rolling the sleeping bag over Chat I feel a stir.

"Ladybug," I look at his disoriented green eyes "what happened?"

He strokes his arm up my arm and I wince. I remember the cut the horse had caused me on my arm and my face.

"I'm ok, honestly. I'll just use my yo-yo on it." I pull out my yo-yo and spray it over my arm.

"Let me do your face, please." Chat pulls the yo-yo from me with shaky hands. He uses both hands to steady his aim and sprays it over my cut cheek. I hiss in pain but it wears into a soothing sensation quite quickly.

"Thank you. How you feeling?"

"Betrayed." He exclaims raising his eyebrows at me.

"I'm sorry but I couldn't let anything happen to you."

"You said you'd stay and instead you put yourself in harms way, out there with no back up. What were you thinking Ladybug?" He scolds me. Anger raged in me as I answered back.

"I was thinking I didn't want this amazing person I'd just met to die. You have no idea how much it would kill me if you died. I don't know why but I can't help but love you, Chat."

Chat froze, I froze. Why did I say that? It wasn't a lie, far from it! But I don't think this was the time or the place to let out these feelings.

"I love you too." He whispers to me.

I leap into his arms and hug tightly. After a few minutes he looks up and our lips capture each other again. I notice something as I'm kissing him.

"You're temperatures gone down. Can I have a look at your leg please?"

"Now, now m'lady! That's a bit forward isn't it!" I giggle as he pulls the sleeping bag off his leg. It had healed. I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

I shiver a little bit. It's suddenly turned a lot cooler.

"Want to share the sleeping bag? We can both fit in."

We struggle around a little bit but manage to make it work. I lay on my side and Chat spoons me. Resting up on one elbow he uses his other hand to stroke my hair.

"These pigtails are cute. Is this how you usually have your hair?"

"No, I haven't had my hair like this since I was about 3."

"It's sweet. Makes you look innocent when we all know you're deadly."

I burst out laughing at Chats comment, I've never seen myself as innocent or deadly.

"Thanks Kitty cat. I'll take that as a compliment."

He lowers down on his arm and rolls over to face the opposite way. He shuffles back and bum bounces against me.

"Sorry." He mutters.

"It's ok." I sigh. I feel him moving again.

"Chat please just choose a position and stay there." As soon as the words leave my mouth thunder can be heard echoing around the cave. It's raining again, but this time a lot heavier.

"They must be trying to keep us all contained where we are." Chat says.

"Perhaps everyone's weak at the moment so they need to build us up for a better battle. Need to make it good viewing."

The thunder strikes again and makes me jump. Chat puts his arms around me.

"It's ok, I'm here with you."

I snuggle into him with my head on his chest. He begins purring again and it settles me.

"How does it feel to purr?" I ask him.

"Honestly? I don't know I'm doing it. I just hear it, I have to be very happy for it to happen though. It's only happened when I've been with you."

I blush and bury my head more into his chest.

"Are you always this flirtatious?"

"No. I just feel as though the mask allows me a bit more freedom. I'd be killed if I acted like this. I have to be a proper gentleman, or I get beat."

"That's not fun."

"No, it's not."

We both sigh.

"How about you? Are you the same without the mask?"

I think about what he's asking me, and unlike him I believe the freedom I have at home has helped keep me, as myself in the arena.

"The mask has probably improved my confidence but as a personality I'm the same."

"You have a great personality then."

"Why thank you Mr Noir. Now if it's ok with you I need to get some sleep."

"Of course. Do you want me to move?"

"Please stay, I'm comfortable and your purring is relaxing." I feel my eyes grow heavy and I succumb to sleep.
