"I'm gonna find you! Hi folks, were just taking a brief intermission. I hope you're enjoying the story as for me I'm still trying to find the guy who won't stop playing that stupid music. He's around here somewhere, I can feel it. Come out you!"
"Achoo!"
"Ah-ha! There you are!"
"Oh come on a scary story needs music."
"Yeah but you kept playing it after every word I said. Now I'm telling you for the last time! Cut it out!"
"You will not sensor my art! I will not be silenced!"
"I have a bat and I'm not afraid to use it."
"Alright fine I'll stop I guess it is- What in the world is that?"
Turns around and looks. "What? Where is it?" Kicks her. "Ow! Why you!" Grabs the bat and wrestles him behind the curtains.
"Why I oughta!"
"Ow! Stop! Help! My leg! My leg!" He screams. "No! Please! Have mercy."
The sound of cloth ripping is heard and everything becomes quiet. He walks out with his underwear over his head. .
"Now will you kindly stop playing the music?"
"Yes Ma'am."
"Good boy. And remember I know where you live. Again I'm sorry about the disturbance folks but I'm sure it won't happen again. Right?"
"Yes."
"Now let's get back to the story."
Creepy music is heard.
"I thought I told you to stop!"
"I did."
"Right! I can hear it up there."
"But I'm over here."
Music is heard again. They look at each other scared and run away screaming.
...
"You think Adrien and Marinette will be okay?" Alya asked.
"I'm sure they'll be fine." Nino reassured. "I'll go check on them." He went out of his room but ran back a few minutes later. "Alya!"
"What! What is it?" She said.
"Ghost! Ball!"
"What are you-"
The light flew into the room. Nino grabbed Alya and held her protectively. "Get away from us! Leave us alone!"
"No! Guys! It's okay!" Adrien said. "It won't hurt us."
"Adrien? You're okay." Nino said.
"Yeah."
"Ugh! What's with all the screaming?" The fortune teller said appearing. "Seriously, some of us ghosts need our beauty sleep.
"What beauty?" Nino joked.
"You want me to get the mop?"
"No! Hey, Adrien where are you going?" Nino said as he, Alya, and the gypsy followed him.
Adrien followed the light into an attic. It was cold and dark filled with forgotten memories and dreams. The light flew over to a chest then vanished. He tried to open it, it was locked. Remembering the key, he pulled it out of his pocket.
"What are you doing here?" It was Grim. "You shouldn't be here."
"Wait a minute! I know you!" Adrien said. "What's going on here? Where's Marinette? What did you do to us?"
"I can tell you."
"Tell me or I'll-"
"No! I literally can't tell you! I'm under a curse of silence. If I saying my mouth will just disappear."
"Well maybe there's something in this chest that can tell me."
"Please don't!"
But he had already stuck the key through and unlocked the chest. Inside was a bunch of books and pictures. Then he spotted a letter in a red envelope. He opened it and began to read it.
"My dearest Felix." He read. "I have given you're proposal a lot of thought and although I fear your family's disapproval I can't imagine a life without you. Yes my dear heart I will marry you. I will love forever and tonight at last we will finally be together. I do. Forever yours, Bridgette."
"She didn't kill herself." The fortune teller said.
"Somebody must have given him the wrong letter." Nino said.
"Yes someone did." Victor said. "I must say bravo Mr. Agreste. I didn't expect you to figure me out."
"The butler did it?" Nino said.
"Typical." Alya said.
"I will deal with you two later." He said making the other two ghosts vanish.
"Why did you kill her?" Adrien asked.
"Because the master would not listen to reason. The son of a wealthy nobleman marrying a penniless girl was simply unacceptable. I did tell him it would end badly."
"You're a real cold dude." Nino said.
"No Mr. Lahiffe. I am a rational man. The master was destined to inherit a great fortune and future but he was willing to throw it all away for love. Running away with that girl would have put his family to shame and I couldn't let that happen. So I got rid of the problem perfectly rational."
"Rational? You killed an innocent woman." Adrien said.
"She was a maid."
"He loved her!"
"Love is meaningless Mr. Agreste but that is not important. What is important is that the master's pain must end, Felix and his love will be reunited and the curse will be broken."
"But that's not her. That's Marinette."
"And what she sees in you I'll never know. But weather or not she's really Bridgette all that matters is that the master thinks she is."
"Okay that does it! Where's Marinette?"
"Getting ready for her wedding of course."
"What wedding? He can't marry her! He's dead and she's not."
"True but that can easily be corrected. Life is such a delicate state."
"If you put one finger on Marinette I swear I'll kill you!" He tried to punch him but he went right through him.
"Oh you're going to kill a ghost, are you?"
"Leave him alone!" Nino demanded.
"Stop it!" Alya cried. He snapped his fingers and a trap door opened under their feet causing them to fall.
"That's it! Plagg claws-"
"Looking for this?" He held up a small sack that had something struggling inside.
"Let me out of here!" He heard a voice call from it.
"Plagg?"
"I'm not sure what this thing is but I do know you're nothing without it."
"You're crazy if you think she'll marry him. I know her! She won't do it!"
"You'll find Mr. Agreste that I am a very persuasive man." He grabbed Adrien by his shirt and lifted him up but not before pulling the bracelet from his pocket. Then he threw Adrien out the window. He landed on his back in pain. He forced himself up and watched as every door and window was closed and locked.
