It was a mistake to test me, whore. I allowed you to survive too long. I hope she jumps off the tower by the time I'm done with her. I grinned evilly as I imagine her crying and pleading with everyone to believe her. But no, I'll make sure she's down and will never let her up again. I laughed as I kept playing it. Of course, I fed Lyox some carne asada. I decided to make Lyox a small home out of...my cousin's daughter's old toys. She was 10 now and wanted to throw it out. I grabbed the small dollhouse and took out my old birdfeeder. I took off the lid and placed some ripped fabric at the bottom. I grabbed a small toy bed, a small toy pillow, and a pillow toy cover in one corner. I added a small table and chairs. To add to it, I put a small working lamp into it. Lyox watched me and was amazed at my craftsmanship.
"Thank you, Bella! I love my new home!" He was ecstatic and grateful. He laid his new bed with the lights off. I placed the home on my shelf with a note "Under Construction". I fell asleep soon after making sure my windows, doors, and phone were locked. I had curtains to cover the window. It was a normal night.
I woke up and yawned. Today was going to be more office wear. I looked in the mirror and I can tell people will be bowing to me today. I texted Marinette to wake up. She texted back "Thank you. I almost overslept." I smiled.
"Time to go to her." I grabbed my safe bag and placed the piercing in my left ear. Lyox woke up and hid in my bag. I went down and the rest were still asleep. I grabbed a small piece of meat to feed to Lyox. He ate it up and fell back asleep in my bag. I grabbed other things I needed and walked out. I yawned and walked by the bakery. I entered the shop to see her father preparing good food.
"Hello! Is Marinette up?" I asked, kindly. He eyed me a bit, then nodded.
"Who are you? I have never seen you around here." He asked, sounding suspicious.
"I am Isabella Montez I came into town two days ago. I became friends with your daughter yesterday. She's really kind-" I said. She came with a smile.
"Morning, Bella." She welcomed. She turned to her father. "She's new here and tries to protect me from Lila." His eyes widen but nodded.
"Ready to go?" I asked. "Also, I made us lunch today since my cousin made too much food last night."
"Oh, you didn't have to, Bella," Marinette said as we both walked out.
"I don't mind. Plus, I had to feed Lyox food too."
"Oh, I see. Thank you for everything."
"No problem. Also, I have a recording of Lila." I grabbed my phone out of my pocket and pressed play on the recording. She was shocked at the fact I caught Lila being a bitch. "I planned to expose her if she dares get me suspended." I laughed. We walked into school before a huge crowd could come in.
I yawned and made my way to my desk. I grabbed out my notebook and sketched a woman holding a baby. It was my late mother with my late sister. I started to tear up a bit, remembering the day my father murder them both. I wiped up my tears and continued to draw. It was completed and to me, it brought me harsh yet loving memories. I started to fall asleep and slowly fell into a deep abyss of peaceful slumber. It felt like it was yesterday when my family and I went to a beach. We played, ate, and had a grand time...then it switched to the alcohol bottles on the dining table. Soon came the fighting, the yelling, being beaten by a man who wasn't who he used to be. He was scarier yet lazy. Then the memory came. I was in my sophomore year at school when the office called me down. They told me that my baby sister and mother were murdered by my father. He wanted to kill me too, but the cops showed up before he could leave the house. He was arrested on the spot and is awaiting trial.
I shot up, alerting Marinette and this red-haired boy. I cleaned up my tears, luckily nothing was smudged. I looked down and wrote what I missed. Time flew by and the memory was still engraved. I thought I would have forgotten months ago, but I can't. I can't forgive the bastard called my father. After gaining an alcohol addiction, he became a greedy demon, who only cared for himself and booze. That smiling, loving father was gone and forgotten. It's time I forgot him as well.
The bell rings, alerting others for lunch. I looked at Marinette and brought out some food. Despite it being cold, it was still delicious. Marinette offered me a chocolate chip cookie. As if by magic, I started to cry again. Oh no...I remembered making cookies with my mother and my father sometimes snacking on the dough. Please no more memories. Marinette shook me, snapping me out of a sad yet happy moment in my life.
"What's wrong?" She askes me.
"Oh, sorry. I haven't eaten any sweets since I was a young girl. I was actually thinking of my mother." I smiled sadly, biting into it. The taste reminded me of her...I wish I saved her and Marie, but I understand that it wasn't my fault.
"Well, if my cookies bring great memories of your mother, then I'll make more." Marinette promised. I patted her head softly.
"No need, Mari, but thank you. Next time you make cookies, invite me please." I joked. We giggled and chatted as if we've known each other for years.
This emotion I was feeling felt nice. I didn't feel angry or hostile...and I smiled like I used to...before the incident and before the whore's lies. Instead of getting angry by the thought of Lila, I continued to be who I used to be.
Until class started again and Adrien walked in and glared at me, then Mari. Mari sank while I gave at him an evil grin. He was going to walk to us, but I stopped him.
"Agreste, now is not a good time to deal with your pansy ass bullshit about you and your favorite street hooker!" I yelled. "Let's handle this later when I'm in a bad mood."
The teacher walked in and Adrien sat in his seat. It was too quiet...until...two akumatized villains smashed through the window.
"We are brothers Grimm, story makers of horrific fairytales!"
"Time to become our new story!" They yelled, trying to suck all of us into a book with blank pages. Marinette and I escaped to the nearest girl's restroom.
A red kwami comes out along with Lyox.
Marinette calls out, "Tikki, spots on!" She transforms.
"Lyox, roar!" I said, transforming into a superhero. We were finished and I carefully peaked out the door to see the brothers handling the other students. Chat showed up and starts attacking the brothers and we stepped in to help. Before we left, we planned to trick Chat Noir into giving his miraculous.
"Hello, M'lady~" He winks at her before turning to me. "Who's the new kitty?"
"Call me Leona, little cat. I hold the Lion miraculous." I said, scratching one of the guy's faces while Ladybug handles the others. To cut this shit short, I used my lion's roar to stun them, Chat and Lady ripped the book and pen up, the brothers were two bros who were akumatized since their stories were denied.
We all go to the tower and put our plan in action, but I could tell she was not comfortable with lying to her once a trustful partner. Ladybug starts to cry to push the role and realizing Chat's civilian form is someone who made her life hell.
"Chat...we need to return our miraculous tonight." She hugged him. "I already brought back the others, but he needs ours and hers as well."
"Wait...what? Who's he?" He asked, starting to cry.
"The man who gave us our miraculous. Hawkmoth knows who he is and where he lives. He's leaving tonight and Hawkmoth is going to follow him to the ends of the Earth." Damn, she is a good actor.
"She's right. I know it's true because I am his granddaughter." I said, staring into his eyes. "I'm leaving town tonight with grandpa and we need them back. Before Hawkmoth can kill him...just like how he killed my parents. Please...Please." I went on my knees. He bent down and sighed. He took off his ring to reveal him being Adrien Agreste. I smiled fakely at him. "Thank you...let me take you home because I need Ladybug's as well. But grandpa doesn't like it when they reveal themselves to each other..." I said, carrying him, handing the ring to Ladybug. As we made it there, he asks me questions and I answered with stories about the last heroes. I dropped him off and hugged him -which I felt disgusted by- then left. I went back to Master Fu, who thanked us for it.
"No need, plus...Chat's civilian form helps out a certain partner of Hawkmoth~" I grinned. I turned back and fed Lyox some meat, then went home after walking home with Marinette. I walked back home and took a nap until dinner. I laughed to myself, thinking about Adrien's face.
"Lila was right. You are stupid."
