When Marinette awoke she was back in her guest room and coughed up a piece of blue stone. At first she was very confused and couldn't remember what just happened. She thought about her dream, the dress she wore was beautiful, the music was lovely, and Chat, Adrien. He was wonderful, being so close to him and his sweet words then she remembered those horrible demons and that one that pulled her away from Adrien's arms. Where was Adrien? And Alya? And Nino?

"Adrien? Nino? Alya?"

"May I help you Madame?" Victor asked.

"Victor have you seen my friends? Especially Adrien."

"Why the concern?"

"Because I had this dream where-"

"You two danced romantically at a ghost ball where he professed his love to you but you were torn apart."

"How do you know that?"

"Because my dear that was no dream it was actually a brief moment of passion. But nevermind that you must get ready now."

"What do you mean?"

"And you haven't put on your dress. We mustn't keep the master waiting."

"Waiting? For what?"

"Why your wedding of course."

"My wedding? I'm not Bridgette!"

"Of course you are my dear. You may not realize it now but in time you will."

"What? This is crazy!

"Crazy? What is so crazy about it? You and Felix are going to be married tonight."

"No! I can't! I love Adrien!"

I'm sorry Madame but you shall never set eyes on that boy again."

"What did you do to him?"

"I do believe he was sent to a hanging."

Marinette looked at him horrified. "I don't believe you. You're lying!"

"Am I? I do believe he dropped this when the noose was pulled." He threw the bracelet to the floor. Marinette gasped when she saw it. She dropped to the floor and picked up the bracelet.

"No." Tears filled her eyes. "No. No. No. No. Please! No! How could you?"

"I'm truly sorry my dear but desperate measures had to be taken."

"Murderer!" She screamed. "I'm not marrying Felix! I'm going home! Right now!"

"I don't think so. You see we wouldn't want anything to happen to your remaining friends now would we?"

"Nino? Alya? Where are they?"

"Alive...for now."

"You wouldn't!"

"Of course not but that is entirely up to you if not I fear the worst for them." He left her room. Marinette fell to her knees and began to sob. Tikki flew out of her purse and nuzzled her cheek.

"I'm sorry Marinette." She said.

"He's gone Tikki." She said. "He loved me and I pushed him away. He's dead and it's all my fault!" She clutched the bracelet and cried harder. "Oh I'll never forgive myself. Never, never, never."

"What are you going to do?"

"I can't let Nino and Alya die on my account."

"Marinette! You can't!"

"I have no choice."

"Marinette?" Grim said entering. "Victor sent me to-"

"Tell him I'll do it." She said trying to hold back her sobs.

Grim left her room and reported back to Victor and the Gypsy.

"Have her ready." He told the Gypsy. "I shall prepare the poison."

"Sir." The Gypsy said.

"If you two know what's good for you, you'll do as your told." He turned to leave.

In about one hour Marinette made her way down the isle in the wedding dress and veil. Felix smiled but couldn't help but notice the tears streaming down her face. He looked at Victor suspiciously.

"Tears of joy." He said.

"Are you sure?"

"Trust me, she is overwhelmed with happiness."

Felix held out his hand to her. "Bridgette?"

Marinette choked back a sob and took his hand. "Yes my love."

"I gotta do something." Tikki said. She quickly flew out and searched for help. "Help! Help! Somebody!"

"Tikki!" A voice called from a locked box.

"Plagg? Is that you?"

"Tikki! Help! This box is Kwami proof or something! Get the key over there."

"I can't hear you! I'll get the key." She flew over to the key hanging on a hook.

Outside Adrien was banging on every door and window trying to get in. "Let me in!" He demanded. "Open the door! You can't do this! Let me in! Please! Please..." He slid toward the ground. "Please. Please God...Don't let this happen... Don't let me lose her." He burried his face in his hands and began to cry. It was over, he was too late.

"You're such a cry baby Adrien."

"Plagg?!"

"In the flesh."

"Oh thank God!" He quickly grabbed him. "Plagg claws out." Using his cataclysm he destroyed the doors.

"Nice move!" Tikki said.

"Where's Marinette?"

"About to be married to a ghost. The wedding's happening right now. We don't have much time! Alya and Nino are also in danger!"

"Okay! Plagg eat your cheese quick and let's go! We have a wedding to crash."
