I know I didn't post yesterday but that was because I had this really big project to do so 2 chapters today to make up for it. Enjoy.

NOTE!: I do not own Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Chat Noir or the characters! Those are both owned by Jeremy Zag, Thomas Astruc, & whoever else that I missed.

Marinette's House (January 24/Sunday 11am)

Marinette POV

I haven't cut since Friday. Telling everyone seems to have helped. My parents still don't know and I really don't want them to. They still think I'm perfectly fine. They've known me my whole life. They should realize that something is off. I quickly take off my earrings and place them in the box. I need some alone time. I really feel the urge to cut again. I want to, but should I. On impulse I run to the bathroom, grab my razor, and slit my arm. It feels good. It shouldn't but it does. I take the earrings back out and put them on.

"Marinette, why'd you do that?" Tikki asks.

"I-I don't know. I'm sorry Tikki. I just needed a minute alone." She comes and lands on my arm. I wince in pain. She's sitting right on that new cut. She gasps in realization.

"Mari. D-did you?" She asks unable to say it. I slowly nod, knowing she figured it out.

"D-do you want to talk about it?" I shake my head, no.

"Do you want to talk to someone else?" I was about to say no when I realized, Plagg had former owners with this issue. I could talk to him.

"Plagg," I say.

"Do you want me to go get him or...?" She asks, still worried.

"I'll call Adrien." I grab my phone and quickly dial his number. He picked up in a matter of seconds.

"Mari, what's wrong? Do you need me to come over? I'm coming." He hung up before I could say a word. Not even two minutes later he runs up into my room and grabs onto my face.

"What's wrong Mari? Are you okay?" God, he worries too much.

"I just wanted to talk to Plagg, but no. You didn't let me get a word in." I say.

"Sorry." He says.

"It's fine. Can we switch miraculous for a bit?" I ask him.

"Marinette. Why." Tikki asks.

"I just need advice and I know that Plagg's holders have dealt with this before but yours haven't," I tell her.

"Okay but only if it makes you feel better. But there is one problem. I don't have my ears pierced." Shoot. I forgot about that.

"The miraculous can change forms," Tikki says. Wait what?

"It does? How?" Adrien asks.

"Just take the miraculous, hold it between your hands, and imagine what you want it to be," Tikki tells us. At that moment Plagg comes out from Adrien's shirt.

"I was asleep, what are we talking about?" He says.

"Adrien and I are switching miraculous for a week," I say.

"Okay, do it then." Adrien hands me his ring, and I hand him my earrings. I hold the ring between my hands and it turns into a necklace with a black circular pendant. Adrien does the same, but he turns it into a ring similar to the one he wore before.

"Bye Adrien," I say. He waves back and Tikki flies into his jacket.

"Oh wait. Take some macarons for Tikki." I hand him a box of her favourite ones and watch as he heads out the door. I turn to Plagg.

"I cut myself again," I say to him.

"Why pigtails?" He asks me with a genuine look of worry.

"I was upset that my parents haven't noticed that something was wrong," I tell him.

"Maybe they're just busy with orders or something." He tells me.

"Ugh...I feel like I'm being torn apart. Part of me wants to stop and part of me wants to keep on doing it." I say, flopping onto my chaise and I hear glass shattering. I rush downstairs to see someone trying to steal the cash. I run back upstairs.

"Plagg claws out." I transform into Lady Noire and head out onto the balcony so I can come in through the front door. I was too late though. Maman was lying on the floor. I see that the person stabbed her in the stomach. From the looks of it, they also smashed her head into the counter. I pick her up and run as fast as I could to the hospital.

"Save her. Please." I say once there. I take her to a room and lay her down, leaving the doctors to take care of her. I leave the hospital and detransform. I hand Plagg a piece of cheese and call Papa.

"M-mom. She got stabbed." I tell him.

"I'm on my way." He responds. With that, I run back into the hospital.

"Sabine. Sabine Cheng. Lady Noire brought her." I say to the receptionist.

"You mean the cat-themed superhero?" She asks.

"Yes," I say.

"Room 17." She says.

"Thanks," I say, running towards the room. I went over there but I wasn't allowed in yet. I sit down and sob. I hear thumping footsteps and look up to see Papa walking towards me. He wraps me in a huge bear hug and then sets me back down. Both of us have tears falling down our faces. We both sit there for what felt like years but really was only 10 minutes until we heard the door open.

"I'm sorry to tell you that Mrs. Cheng is in a coma." That does it for me. I crumple down to the floor and sob ignoring everything else happening around me.

Why did I do this? Someone tell me why I did this. There was no reason for me to do so but I did it. WHY? Sure it will help with the storyline but whyyyy? Also, this was supposed to be a story about school. School! What the f**k does this have to do with school!? Anyways, see you once I stop contemplating my life choices. Kittykat out!
