Alya carried an unconscious Chloe over her shoulder as we went back to my aunt and uncle's bakery. We'd hung out at the park for a while, before I'd noticed the time and said I had to go, only for them to protest and say they'd come with me. My aunt and uncle said I had to be back by dinner and I now I had some news to tell them; some very important news. I was talking to Alya while she carried Chloe. Adrien and Nino were behind us and talking about something else.
"So you're a descendant of the fox miraculous," I say in my accent, "So you have the power of illusion."
"Yes how did you-" She began.
"Know," I smiled, "My mother gave me a book about the clans before she left. I've read it multiple times."
Alya nodded, "Oh and you don't have to keep doing that accent. The spell's still active." I nodded and replied in my normal voice.
"So,how is it living out here as a normal person?" She asked eyes sparkling.
"Not too bad," I smiled, "There's the positives and negatives but hiding is the hardest part."
"That's true," The brunette laughed, "Even we find it hard and we use spells."
I laughed at her remark. She seemed like someone who always knew how to cheer a person up and knew how to fight her battles.
"So what happened to you during puberty?" Alya smirked, suddenly changing the subject, "You're so flat."
"I know," I blushed, "I still haven't reached adulthood. I'm a late bloomer like my mother."
"Oh," Alya nodded. She had quite a full chest and seemed to have reached her adulthood already.
"So what about Chloe?" I asked trying to change the conversation.
"Well she's a mean bitch who thinks she's Adrien's soulmate," Alya rolled her eyes, "She's the second most powerful in the school. She's so full of herself and Adrien's definitely not interested. But you on the other hand are perfect for him. You're nice and kind. And from what we've seen over the past few days wise and caring."
"What?!" I yell making the guys look at us, "Sorry. What do you mean? Me? As if!"
"Well duh," She laughed, "He found you first and it's no coincidence that he's a Black Cat and you're a Ladybug. We've all heard of the prophecy. That's why Chloe was like that, she feels threatened."
I chuckle at the thought, "Sure. We're meant to be enemies not soulmates." I roll my eyes as we arrive at the bakery. I look back at the three young adults and the unconscious blonde and then place my hand on the door.
"Ok here goes nothing," I mumble as I open the door.
The little bell tinkles as I open the door and let my new friends inside the bakery. The scent of flour and sugar was still in the air and judging from the empty counter, my aunt and uncle were busy working in the back.
"Auntie Sabine! Uncle Tom!" I call and they come out front.
"Mari-Victoria!" My auntie covered up her mistake,hugged me tightly and then let go to observe me, "Did you run into any trouble?"
"Uh...no!" I say quickly, she can be so overbearing at times, "Anyway we've got guests."
"What?" She then spotted the four other young adults and gasped as she saw Chloe slumped over Alya's shoulder, "Did you reveal yourself to the public again?! I told you not to!"
"Actually we're descendants too," Alya stepped forward, "Chloe kinda got on my nerves and my instincts kicked in."
"Oh! Then you're all welcome here!" My auntie smiled, "You should go upstairs though. Down here gets really warm really fast and the smell of the yeast can make you feel weird."
We all nodded and went upstairs to the flat. I opened the door and went straight to my room. Luckily, no one followed me and I blacked out the windows with a spell and let my hair return to its natural colour, and the same with my eyes. Then I got out my book and brought it downstairs for the others to see.
"Wow," All three of my friends gasped as I came back down from my room.
"What?!" I look at them slightly annoyed, "I can't run the spell for more than a day! Which reminds me..."
I placed the book on the table and then blacked out the windows, blushing as they all watched me perform the spell. It only took a second but they watched all the same. Chloe woke up just as I finished the spell.
"I thought Ladybugs were meant to have red hair like Tikki," Nino said aloud, earning a glare from Alya.
"Nino!" Alya nudged him, "So what if she has dark hair!"
"Just proves she's not even a real Ladybug!" Chloe laughed while Adrien sighed,the other two glared at her and I clenched my fists.
"If so then how comes I have this book?" I say picking up my book and showing it to Chloe, shutting her up, "My mother gave it to me after we fled."
All four of them then gazed at the book intently as I flicked it open to the first page. It was about the Ladybug clan and was written in code. The illustration showed a red-haired female with streaks of dark blue hair wielding a yo-yo and dressed in a Ladybug outfit.
"How could you read that?!" Chloe scrunched her nose in disgust, "It's all lines and squiggles."
"To you it is," Alya mumbled, "It's the ancient code isn't it? The one used to protect the book from harm?"
"Yeah," I say, "Can you guys read it or-"
"Not fluently," Nino replied, "Only Adrien can and judging by Chloe's reaction she didn't even know about it."
"Well if you want I can read it," I smile as they all nod, "Ok so it starts here...
Long ago when the universe was born the Ladybugs came into existence. We harnessed the power of creation and healing and were predominantly female, with a few males. The Ladybugs are known to be the creators of all things after the birth of the universe and all basic life. We are one of the two most powerful miraculous clans out of all nineteen. We are the equals to the Black Cats and are known to not agree with them most of the time.
However in a time when the world is losing all hope and one miraculous clan tries to take over, the two will choose the other as their soulmate and restore the balance. However this is only in circumstances such as these that they will agree or even be intimate.
The Ladybug with the power to create and who wields the miraculous, a pair of earrings, has the ability to overpower all the other Ladybugs. They can also purify akumas and feathers when necessary, as many have tried to abuse the moth and peacock miraculous powers. They are also known to be wise and caring, while also being late in entering adulthood and puberty. They can create solutions to problems with their power, Lucky Charm, and fix all damage caused by an akuma or feather. Their weapon is a yo-yo.
I sigh as I finish reading. The book was always vague whenever I read about the clans. They would talk of how they came to be and then the powers, most powerful one and status in the overall view. Sometimes I just wished it shared a little more information.
"Wow," Nino breathed.
"That was vague," Alya adjusted her glasses, "So is that all you have?"
"Pretty much," I sigh as I think it over, "I wasn't left with much else. But I've learnt most of the traits and traditions."
"That makes you and Adrien rivals then?" Alya looked at me, "That's weird since you two haven't fought yet."
"True," I shrug,"But meh. I wasn't raised by Ladybugs so I don't have their stereotypes."
"Yeah, same here," Adrien shrugged, "I was raised by the school and I don't really know anything about this."
"Wait so the Ladybugs have achieved nothing but being made?!" Chloe looked at me, "The bees must've done way more things than that."
"So any requests?" I ask looking at the four of them, trying to ignore Chloe's comment.
"The Bee's obviously," Chloe smiled, "They must've achieved a bunch of stuff and even have been known to over power a Ladybug!"
Rolling my eyes I turn to the page, "Ok so..."
The Bee miraculous clan have the power of subjection. They are one of the five miraculous clans that came after the Ladybugs and Black Cats and are therefore important in the aid and protection of the first two clans. They are very regal and refined and often acknowledge that others are important too, though some forget. They are very submissive however they stand firm to what they believe.
The strongest of the Bee clan has the miraculous, a hair comb, and can overpower all of the other members. They can temporarily immobilise a target with their power, Venom.
They get along with most clans but their nature is very annoying to the Foxes who would rather get them to be quiet for just a moment. Their weapon is a spinning top.
"That's perfect!" Alya burst out laughing as I finished, "I bet we've done tons of things, even better than the Ladybugs! Ha! Your clan did zilch." Even Adrien was chuckling at the Bee miraculous clan chapter.
"That's a lie!" Chloe turned red with anger and embarrassment, "The book's fake, obviously! It's ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous!"
"Ok that's enough laughing," I breathed, still red from laughing so much, "Who wants to hear their chapter next?"
"I do," Nino replied, "If it's as funny as Chloe's count me in!"
"Ok," I found the turtle miraculous page, "Here goes..."
The Turtle miraculous clan is the clan of protection. Being one of the five clans that came after the Ladybugs and Black Cats it is valued as important to the protection of the two most powerful clans. Members of the clan are usually laid-back and carefree however they are still serious and loyal.
They get along with all the other clans and are known to be straightforward. The strongest member of the clan wears the Turtle miraculous, a bracelet with a Turtle charm on it, and can overpower all of the other members. Their special ability is Shel-ter, the ability to create a shield for protection. Their weapon is a shield.
"Well I'm cool with that," Nino shrugged, "It's better than Chloe's. So that's fine by me."
The others snickered at his reaction, while Chloe flushed red.
"Okay there's only two clans left, unless you guys wanna hear all of them..." I chuckled. All of this laughter was giving me a weird effect, like a drug. They all widened their eyes in shock, before their protests came.
"No way!" Chloe demanded, "Their probably useless anyway."
"Ok then..." Alya rolled her eyes, "I'll go next."
"The Fox miraculous Clan," I began.
The Fox Miraculous clan is the clan of illusion. It is one of the five clans made following the creation of the Ladybugs and Black Cats making it vital in the role of aiding and protecting the two most powerful miraculous clans. Members of the clan are usually friendly, encouraging, wise and Good judges of character. They are very similar to the Ladybugs, however they are more determined and bold than their fellow clan.
They get along with most clans, but can get tired of hearing a Bee descendant jabber on for hours. The strongest member of the clan wears the Fox miraculous, a necklace with a fox tail pendant attached to it, and can overpower any other member. Their special ability is Mirage, which causes them to use create a life-like illusion. Their weapon is a flute.
"I like that," Alya smiled triumphantly, "It even mentions my dislike of Chloe."
"Whatever," Chloe rolled her eyes, "You're just jealous of my abilities."
"Wait until we get back on campus!" Alya growled, "You'll be screaming down your phone for precious daddy!"
"Oh bring it on fox cub," Chloe smirked. Alya glared at her.
"Guys?" Adrien sighed looking at the two warring girls, they were like this every single hour of every single day according to Nino and Adrien.
"Alya! Chloe!" Nino yelled grabbing everyone's attention, "Thanks now we need to read Adrien's chapter!"
"Yeah,what dark secrets are you hiding?!" Alya squealed.
"It'll obviously reveal how perfect he is!" Chloe smiled jabbering on.
I got the book and flicked it to the Black Cat clan's page. Maybe this'll shed some light on my supposed rival or prophecised love interest .
"Long ago," I begin to read silencing everyone.
Long ago, but not as far back as the Ladybugs but a little near that time, the Black Cat miraculous clan was created. They were the clan of destruction and is the other one of the two most powerful clans. The Black Cats are known to be destructive, lazy and sometimes even plain out right arrogant however they often show a more affectionate and caring side towards those they love or are fond of, while also still being cocky. They often fight with the Ladybugs.
However in a time when the world is losing all hope and one miraculous clan tries to take over, the two will choose the other as their soulmate and restore the balance. However this is only in circumstances such as these that they will agree or even be intimate.
The member with the ability to destroy wears the miraculous, a ring, and can overpower any other members. Their special ability is Cataclysm, it gives them the ability to destroy anything they touch. They are said to have paired with Bees and Foxes before however they usually choose normal people as their soulmate. They reach adulthood quite early and excel in most things they do. Their weapon is a baton.
"Wow," Adrien blinked as the words I read sunk in, "So I really am the opposite of you?"
"Yeah," I shrug, "Comes with being one of the most powerful miraculous descendants."
"Well it shows that there's no record of Ladybug ever hooking up with a Black Cat except that stupid prophecy," Chloe rolled her eyes, "So you should really get your heads out of the clouds Marinette."
"Hey!" I clench my fists, "I never thought of it that way! I've just never had friends before...and when I discovered you guys were like me I..."
"We get it girl," Alya hugged me and Nino and Adrien soon joined. Chloe just stood there looking in disgust.
"Yeah she's right," Adrien added, "It gets boring at the school, so having a new student will really help, especially since you're the first Ladybug in years."
"Plus your relatives make a mean macaroon," Nino smirked making the three of us laugh.
"Well you guys need to grow up," Chloe threw her hands in the air, "Miss I'm the last Ladybug here, hasn't even reached adulthood and we're just sitting here bonding! Ew! Lets not mention the fact that I could be needed elsewhere. After all my powers are above all of yours."
"That's not what the book says," Adrien said.
"Excuse me?" She asked.
"He said that's not what the book says," Alya growled, "Now shut your fucking mouth or I'll knock you out again!"
Chloe stayed quiet and the four of them chuckled.
"Dinner's ready!" My uncle called from the bakery.
"Well that smells good," Nino stumbled down the stairs, following his nose, while the rest of us walked down laughing at his greediness...
