A/N: So this story is a more in depth version of the Little Red Riding Bug chapter I put in Miraculous Tales. I decided to do this as readers wanted a part two and I just thought it'd be better. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy!

D.L.D

P.S. This is set when they are children and then goes to when they were teens as the story moves on.

"Marinette!" The child's mother called from the kitchen, "I need you to run an errand for me!"

Instantly, a girl dressed in a white shirt and grey skirt arrived, her ladybug patterned riding cloak around her shoulders.

"Yes?" She looked at her mother.

Marinette hadn't been doing much that morning, aside from drawing some pictures, but that could wait if her mother needed assistance. It was the least the girl could do for her hardworking parents. She knew that it was hard to get by in the town she lived in and she'd do anything just to see her parents at ease.

"I need you to deliver these pastries to Mr Fu," Her mother passed her a basket, "I would do it myself but we've received a large order from Mayor Bourgeois."

Inside were freshly baked goods from her parents' bakery. The bluenette smiled at the familiar warmth coming from them. It always made her feel warm inside, like they contained happiness.

"I'll take them," The girl smiled, "It's the least I can do. You and Papa work so hard."

"I know," The woman sighed, "You'd better go before they get cold. Don't stray from the path."

"I won't!" The girl called as she dashed through the door.

...0o0...

Marinette smiled as she strolled along the path, saying hello to everyone who passed her. It was a beautiful day and the bluenette couldn't help but smile. The sun was out and the sky was clear. Flowers grew and the town was alive with the sound of its people.

"Hello, Mrs Kutzberg."

"Aww how adorable."

"That's way too expensive!"

It was just a regular day for the girl. She hummed as she walked along the path passing houses as she did so. The girl was about to continue past the Cesiare's, when her friend called to her.

"Mari!" A brunette dashed towards her friend, "Hi!"

"Hi Alya!" The bluenette smiled, "What are you doing out?"

"Errand," The girl frowned, "I hate wearing this!"

She was dressed in an orange and white dress and her hair was tied into a short curly ponytail.

"It's just a dress," Marinette chuckled.

"I know," The brunette sighed, "But I prefer what my Papa wears."

"Too bad we can't wear trousers though!" The bluenette chuckled before remembering the basket, "I have to go. Delivery."

"See ya, Mari!" The brunette called as she ran along the path.

...0o0...

Marinette sighed as she reached the fork in the road. The marker of halfway. She looked at the sign and spotted that the writing was blurred with age. She groaned. What was a simple delivery job went to a confusing journey. If she took the wrong turn, then she'd end up lost in the woods.

The female's eyes went from left to right as she wondered which way to go. She had to get to Mr Fu's home soon, or she'd end up worrying her parents. The last thing she wanted was to cause them ore trouble.

Taking in a deep breath, she turned right. She always chose right because that's what the town's mayor said. He said that right was always right. The girl walked forwards, smiling as she failed to spot any trees.

She continued along the both singing a little to calm her nerves. As she walked trees began to appear, in small clumps at first, until they began to get bigger and greater in number. They reached to the sky and covered her in an emerald screen, blocking the sun from the ground. Marinette frowned. She'd definitely taken a wrong turn.

She turned around, ready to walk back, when she paused as she spotted two paths behind her. She didn't know which one was the way home and she wasn't trying her luck again.

She was lost. Lost in the woods that the townspeople warned her not to go into so many time. The woods she didn't mean to stumble into.

A tear fell from her ocean eyes. Fear was beginning to take over her logic. She was growing more and more terrified as reality sank in.

Sitting on a tree stump, the girl thought about her predicament. She let a few more tears fall. She was lost in the woods with no-one knowing she was there. The same woods that wolves were known to lurk into. Nothing to fear right?

Marinette burst into tears as she envisioned night falling and wolves coming to eat her. A rare treat for the much abused animals. The thought alone struck fear into her heart. The girl cried and cried, her frame shaking with each sob. No-one was going to save her from this.

"Are you ok?" A voice spoke out from the calm of the trees.

The girl looked up, her bluebell eyes red from her tears. She sniffled as she looked around.

"Who said that?" She found her voice as she peered about. If she wasn't alone, then this situation wouldn't be too bad.

"I did," A blonde steeped out from behind a tree, a sheepish smile on his face.

Marinette paled. He didn't look normal, like the other boys in her town, although he did have some normal features. The girl froze as her eyes spotted the two furry cat's ears atop his head as well as the tail that trailed down to the ground. It was like something that Mr Kutzberg had told her witches created.

She'd never seen anything like him and her first instinct was to run. However the girl stayed put her face showing complete horror. She turned to hide her expression.

"I'm sorry," The blonde apologised, "I didn't mean to scare you."

The girl turned to face him a look of surprise on her face. She'd been told that witch craft resulted in evil, yet here was a nice person who had probably been hexed. The girl smiled.

"It's ok," Her voice came out a little shaky, "I'm just not used to seeing people like you."

"Oh..." He looked away, tucking his tail between his legs, "I get that a lot."

"You do?" The bluenette's eyes widened.

"Well, not a lot," He shrugged, "But every time someone sees me they try to shoot me."

"Shoot you?!" She stared at him wide eyed.

She couldn't believe what she was hearing. The blonde seemed like a decent person, or whatever he was, and it seemed crazy that people would try to shoot him.

"It's not as bad as it sounds," He smiled, "Though it always makes me think I have the worst luck."

"Perhaps you do," The bluenette agreed before remembering about the basket, "Do you perhaps know a way out of here? To the other side of town?"

"I think so," The blonde nodded, "But I'm not allowed that far. My father would kill me."

"He'd kill you?" Marinette gasped, "That sounds terrible."

"No!" The blonde chuckled, "He'd just take away one of my nine lives if he did that. I'd just be in serious trouble."

"Oh..." She giggled, "That makes sense. Wait you have nine lives?"

"Nope," The blonde shook his head, "It's only rumored that cats do."

He began to walk along the path and Marinette followed.

"So why did you say your father would take one away?" The bluenette tilted her head.

"As a joke," The blonde shrugged, "Guess normal people don't do that."

"No we do," The girl sighed, "But they're terrible. Tell another one."

(A/N: I had to look up a joke xD)

"Ok," He smiled, "What do you call a cat that gets anything it wants?"

The girl shrugged.

"Purr-suasive."

"Oh..I get it," Marinette giggled.

"So where did you say you wanna go?" The blonde mused as he looked at her.

"The other side of town," She smiled, "I had an errand and that's why I got lost."

"Well it's not too far from here," He smiled, "Just straight ahead actually."

"It is?" Her eyes brightened at the idea of getting out of the woods, before fear overtook her again.

"What's wrong?" He asked as he spotted her expression.

The bluenette blushed.

"I'm actually kinda scared of going off by myself again," She rubbed her arm.

"I can go with you," He offered.

"But what about your father?" She peered at him.

"It'll be fine," He brushed it to the side, "Just trust me."

"Ok, but if you get killed I'll be really upset," She pouted.

"I won't get killed cat's honor," He placed a hand over his heart.

"I'm trusting you," She crossed her arms over her chest.

He then lead her down the path towards the other side of her town.

...0o0...

Marinette sighed as she arrived back home. The sun had just began to dip below the horizon and her parents had just finished working. They smiled as they spotted her.

"There you are!" Her mother hugged her tightly, "What happened?"

"I got lost in the woods," Marinette smiled as her parents gasped, "But I found my way out because of this nice blonde. He was a little different though as he had cat's ears and a tail! But he's really nice! I'm gonna go see him tomorrow."

"Oh, Marinette," Her mother shook her head solemnly.

"You can't go back to the woods tomorrow, not for a while," Her father sighed, "Not until you forget about this blonde. He's dangerous and his father more so. It'd be better if you just forgot about him."

"But he's really nice and even helped me out!" The bluenette protested.

"That's what he wants you to think!" Her parents both snapped before looking at their daughter, both shocked.

Tears gathered at her bluebell eyes as Marinette looked at her parents. They just yelled at her. They'd never done that before. Never in her ten years of being alive.

Not looking at her parents, the girl turned and dashed to her room. Tears fell from her bluebell eyes.
