A little inspiration of the Twilight saga but this time I decide to have Adrien as a dhampir this time. For those who don't know what a dhampir is, a dhampir is an offspring of a half human and half vampire. Like Blade and Bloodrayne for example, they are dhampirs. Also, instead of bat transformation, I'm gonna have Adrien turn into a black cat instead of a bat. Bat transformation is getting very old.

Paris, the city of love and beauty. The famous historic landmark of them all is the Eiffel Tower that was built in 1887 and opened in 1889. This city is protected by the famous superheroine Ladybug. The public gave her the symbol of good luck because ladybugs represent luck.
Her magical earrings give her ladybug powers and enhanced physical abilities. She has been fighting crime for 3 years and everyone praises her. But of course, she has been looking for a partner than can be the holder of bad luck but she couldn't find one who is worthy of it. Her Chinese Master insisted that someday she'll find the right person in time.
"Master Fu, I know it's been 3 years and I can't find a partner but I'm capable of fighting crime by myself. But….Do I really need a partner?" The French-Chinese teenage girl asked the old Chinese man.
"You will in time, Marinette. The city needs more than one protector." Master Fu said.
"That's true, master. I hope the right person has a good heart to protect humanity." Marinette said and clasps her palms together to bow.
"He or she will." Master Fu said.
"Hopefully the right person will come to me one day. Should I hold onto the cat miraculous or wait until I tell you who I choose?" Marinette asked her master.
"Yes. Choose wisely, for the one worthy." Master Fu said.
"Don't worry, master. I'll find someone at my school who is worthy. I gotta get home now. I'll let you know who I find. If not, I'll keep looking" Marinette said and takes her leave.
"Good luck." Master Fu bid her farewell.

Arriving at her apartment, Marinette was looking at the cat miraculous.
"Maybe a boy will be your partner but it's not easy to choose," A red bug-mouse entity said.
"We'll see, Tikki. But I'm not sure which of them" Marinette said.
"What about him? He's like a charming prince to be a cat" Tikki pointed at the poster of a handsome teenage blonde boy with gorgeous green eyes.
"Huh? Oh, that's Adrien Agreste." Marinette looked at it.
Mesmerized by how gorgeous and handsome he is as a model in Paris. But there's one problem. He doesn't go to her school because he's homeschooled. Only her best friend's boyfriend and the snobby brat drama queen know him and they say that his father will decide if he's ever ready to attend school.
"He's like a prince locked up in his castle. Agh! Why did I say that?! Oh, Tikki. If only I knew him in person but he's the richest in the Agreste family. His father is very secretive and he never leaves the house nor lets Adrien out" Marinette slumped on her loft bed.
"You'll never know for sure if he attends school. Maybe Nino will find a way to convince Adrien's father to make new friends, get to know the world" Tikki said.
"We'll see what happens, Tikki. But you could be right. Maybe if he had the miraculous, he could get freedom or something. But I need to know him in person" Marinette said.

At the Agreste mansion, a young teenage boy with blond hair and green eyes wearing a sleeveless white jacket, black shirt with colored stripes, jeans, and orange converse sneakers was not just an ordinary human as everyone in Paris thought he is. Ever since he was born, his mother was a vampire and his father is a human. Which makes him a dhampir. His father was very strict with his son to never go out in the world due to his vampire wife's terrible death. He lost his wife and he doesn't want history to repeat itself.
The door opens and a tall man entered the room to see his son napping by hanging upside down like a cat with his arms crossed.
"Son, Nino, and Chloe are here. Wake up" His father said and the young teenage dhampir sluggishly woke up with a yawn, revealing sharp canines.
He levitated himself down and landed on his feet, "What time is it, father" He tiredly asked.
"It's 2pm and I expect you not to take long naps. You may be half-human but you gotta learn to act like one" His father said strictly.
"Father, even if I want to be like everyone but I can't change to something that I'm not." Adrien crossed his arms and sighed.
"Someday you're gonna have to. My kind does not accept monsters" His father said harshly.
"Send my friends in" Adrien sighed and two teens came in and his father left.
"Oh, Adrikins! My handsome dhampir! Did you miss me?!" A bleached ponytail girl with sapphire eyes clings onto him.
"Hey, Chloe." Adrien flinched at her hug.
"Hey, Count Adrien." Nino greeted his best friend.
Adrien morphed into a black cat to get out of Chloe's grip and went to Nino, morphing back to a human shape, "Hey bud. Still see me like Dracula as always?" He chuckled at his humor.
"Yup but you know you're immune to sunlight. One of these days you need to get outside and walk around." Nino said.
"Thanks, Nino but you know my father doesn't let me out. He thinks humans are scared of 'monsters' like me" Adrien said with air quotes.
"You're not a monster, Adrikins! How dare your daddy say that to you! You need to convince him to come to school! We can be so popular" Chloe clinging to him again.
"Agh! Chloe, I always wanted to go to school but I don't want to be popular than anyone. I just want to be myself." He moved her off since he doesn't like her invading his personal space, "And technically, I don't even know anything about public school. I'm only half-human and I have never done anything like a human. I drink blood like a vampire and I eat normal food like a human. It's hopeless" He morphs into a black cat again and continues talking, "But one thing I know is everyone likes cats than a vampire"
"Well least you know about them," Nino said.
"And this Ladybug, she protects everyone in Paris." Cat Adrien said.
"Dude, you've been a fan of her like for all eternity" Nino teased him.
"Well, she's special. If I only knew her" Cat Adrien said.
"You already have me" Chloe tried to kiss him.
"No thanks!" Cat Adrien jumped in Nino's arms.
"Whoa, easy buddy!" Nino pets him.
"Sheesh! Always the scaredy-cat? That gives me an idea. When was the last you did the baby doll eyes on your daddy?" Chloe asked.
"Once and I just do that as a cat to look cute. Why?" Cat Adrien asked while purring due to his best friend petting him.
"What if you can convince your daddy to change his mind?" Chloe gave a smug look.
"Oh no! No! No! No! It's not gonna work!" Cat Adrien shook his head but Chloe still insisted that he do it, "No!" He said.
"She has a point, bud. Don't you wanna finally get some sunlight and meet new people your age? This will be your chance to see Ladybug up close" Nino said.
"Okay, fine. But this is a terrible idea. Maybe it's worth a shot" Cat Adrien gave up and jumps onto the floor and morphed back to a person.
"I believe in you Adrien" Nino gave thumbs up at him while Adrien leaves to find his father.
He found him in the living room having a call on the phone, "Excuse me, father. Sorry if I disturb you."
"I'll call you back" His father hangs up his phone, "What is it, my son? Is it about this school? You know it's dangerous"
"What if I prove you wrong?" Adrien smirked and levitated himself to his father's height, facing him directly but it didn't make his father flinch but back away slowly, "I never met anyone who seen me in person. They all see me as a model on the advertising all the time. Please, father, I like to meet new people. After all, I don't burn in daylight" Adrien hovered a little and did the cute puppy eyes at him, "I need friends, a lady in my life, and freedom. Or….keep me locked up like an animal until one day I go savage like a predator hungry for human blood. Do you want that to happen?" He begged his father while doing the puppy eyes.
"That may have worked once, I'm not falling for it again!" His father saw him doing the cute eyes, "It's not even that cute, son" But Adrien kept doing it.
"I can do this for all eternity, father. Or…do you want me to hypnotize you like last time as a prank?" Adrien flipped himself upside down while levitating.
"Agh! Okay, enough! I'll let you go to school on one condition" His father gave in.
"Anything" Adrien got excited as he lowers himself down to let his feet touch the floor.
"Nino will be training you to be more human than a dhampir. If you fail and if someone sees you using your vampire powers, you will hypnotize them, erase their memories of your discovery and no school ever again" Father instructed him.
"Very well. It's a deal" Adrien smiled with his fangs.
"And please hide your fangs. Humans don't have that you know" His dad said.
"Fine, just to make you happy." Adrien concentrated on shrinking his canines to normal human length, "Is that better or are you scared that I would bite someone's neck?"
"Better. You look really normal, but biting someone means trouble." His dad said.
"Dad, I never bit a human my whole life, I just bite rats. There's a difference. Anyways, thanks for giving me a chance." He morphed into a black cat for his father to catch him for a hug.
"Good boy." His father petted his head and the kitty purred.

Later on, Nino trained his best pal on how to be human in public. It wasn't easy for his dhampir friend but he knows for sure he'll get better.
"Chloe may be obnoxious as always and you gotta know there's good and bad from anyone. Humans don't turn into cats in real life. So you gotta learn not to do that. Not unless you find a place hide in case of emergencies or to disguise yourself" Nino paced back and forth while Adrien writes down in his notebook about human advice.
"Okay, no transformation, got it. My dad is human and I know what he does. And I can't reveal my fangs to anyone. That I know. Anything else?" Adrien asked as he wrote things down.
"Well one thing, no blood-sucking," Nino said.
"Got it," Adrien wrote it down.
"And if the girls start harassing you, just simply ignore them. Do not threaten them. And also, humans don't hang upside down very long. We get headaches. And no hypnotizing anyone." Nino warned him like he's upset about something that Adrien did to him.
"Are you still mad that I hypnotized you to act like a cat? It was just one time on you" Adrien said shyly but snickered at the funny memory.
"Cut that out, dude!" Nino exclaims.
"Sorry, sorry. Continue please" Adrien cleared his throat.
"Also, try to socialize with others," Nino said.
"As in getting more friends," Adrien wrote down.
"Yes. And we got single girls in our classroom. Juleka, she's into music but she doesn't like cats. Alix is a tomboy and she loves roller skating. Rose is one of the nicest girls like our teacher. Lila, I think you should avoid her because she spreads lies to get her victims expelled or suspended. And Marinette loves fashion design and she's the daughter of the best baker in Paris" Nino listed all single girls.
"Wow. I can't wait to meet them one day. Anyways, is there something I'm missing? If I wanna blend in as a human, I need to know how without revealing any of my dhampir side" Adrien asked.
"I got your back, Adrien. Trust me." Nino said.
"Thanks, Nino. I just hope Chloe doesn't annoy me with her obnoxious attitude. I rather bite her neck but not like that" Adrien said, lying down on the couch to take a break from writing.
"Nor that she'll reveal your dhampir self," Nino replied.
"I just hope my 'undead' life starts to change because I really need to get out more often rather than be locked up in a cage like an animal. Your kind has more freedom than monsters" Adrien morphed into a black cat again due to his nervousness.
"We'll solve it together dude." Nino pets him.
"Nino, everyone in Paris sees me as a model, not the real me. What if no one likes me?" Cat Adrien purred from getting petted by his friend.
"Dude, no one has seen you in person. This is your chance to get to know the real world. And you might meet a girl that will open your heart and fill it with love" Nino teased him.
"Better it is not like Chloe." Cat Adrien said.
"Whatever you say, kitty cat. Girls can't resist cute animals" Nino said and his best pal playfully rolled his eyes.
"Oh yeah." Cat Adrien nodded.
He morphs back to human and levitates himself to flip upside down while facing his best friend, "But if someone does see the real me, the dhampir me, I hope I'll do the right choice to either erase their memory by hypnotizing or let them trust me"
"You trusted me and Chloe. The only two humans that have been friends with you for a long time. And again with the upside-down levitation thing? You really need to get adapted to walking around outside than take naps like a bat" Nino rolled his eyes that his friend can't seem to adapt to being more human since he's been in the mansion for too long and barely ever spends enough time to explore outside.
"Fair point," Adrien said.
