Hey guys, sorry its been so long. I got a job last time I posted and I haven't been able to do much writing or didn't have the motervation to do so. Its been hard to get back to writing. I work in the morning but for next few week I'm off so I should be able to get a few more pages down (Unless I get really motivated, I could get a few Chapters done.)
So here's a late Christmas Present. ENJOY!
Nino moaned, blinking groggily as he leaned against a pole. He groaned tiredly, pulling himself away from it. As he softly laid down, his hand pulled back and he felt the cold touch of metal around his wrist. He glanced up at his hand, the handcuff was snapped around his wrist and attached to the handrail. Nino blinked at his wrist, his mind slowly returning to normal when his heart jarred abruptly and his eyes widened. He shot forward and grabbed his wristband with his free hand, spinning it around.
"My miraculous! Nooroo!" He shouted, his voice echoing around him. He spun around as far as his chuffed hand would allow him and stared up the catwalk and stared up at a giant window, the panel's creating a large butterfly.
"Hawkmoth…" He muttered.
Wordlessly he stood and turned to stared up at the large decorated window, vines climbing up the metal frame work around it. He slowly followed the vines down and stared at a small garden, flowers starting to bloom on the bushes. A white metal casket sat at centre of the garden, the lights above it shone down at it as if it was a prize possession. Nino would've admitted it was a beautiful and touching sight, and that someone went a long way to show their love to the person in the casket, if it wasn't for the dark shadow of a man that stood beside it, his wild white hair covering his eyes.
The man turned towards him, his blue eyes glowing under his hair causing Nino to pull back on his cuffed hand. The man moved towards him, his hands behind his back. He walked slowly and precisely, his eyes digging daggers into the boy till he stood in front of him. Nino stumbled back onto the floor, the cuffs holding his arm across him as he stared up him.
"So, you're the one who stole Nooroo from me."
"Hawkmoth… What are you?" Nino said, studying him. Hawkmoth wore a black body suit with thick white fur around his neck, wrists and the top of his boots. Dark metal covered the tips of his boots and claws, reflecting none of the light behind him. He was a dark shadow, his eyes glowing beneath his dark mask, and he grinned, showing his fangs.
"I go by the name of Jaguar Noir now." He held his fist up, a black ring with a green paw mark on it, Nino's eyes widened at the sight of it.
"What did you do to Chat, man!?"
"He's fine, Mr Lahiffe. Yes, I know who you are. I was slightly surprised my son's best friend was the famed Vrai Papillon, but I suppose fate has some sort of humour."
"What did you do with Nooroo?" He demanded, pulling himself back up. Jaguar Noir eyebrow rose unimpressed before he held the Butterfly Miraculous up.
"I took back what was mine. But don't worry, I won't use him."
"Give it back!" Nino launched forward, his hand reaching out to it. Nino's finger just touched a wing of the Miraculous before Jaguar jumped back at the last second, landing safely beside the casket.
"I could've said the same thing to you when you first took Nooroo. No. Its going to stay here, out of reach. Don't bother to try to escape, Mr Lahiffe, you only hurt yourself trying." He said as he placed the butterfly brooch on top of the casket.
"What are you going to do, Jaguar Noir?" He growled, pushing his glasses back. Jaguar hummed, turning back to Nino.
"I'm going to bring my wife back, and to do that, I require Ladybug's Miraculous. Purr-haps I'll go ask her…" He grinned, Nino swallowing hard at the terrifying sight.
Jaguar flashed forward, jumping onto the handrail and raced past him, disappearing into the shadows. Nino turned around and heard the sound a elevator in the shadows. He turned back to the handcuffs, rattling them and growled.
Plagg twirled out of the ring, groaning loudly. He glance around at the elevator as they rose, Gabriel fixing his clothes.
"Give me some cheddar." Plagg growled. Gabriel didn't even glance at him.
"Don't try to weaken my transformation, Plagg." He ordered, the Kwami feeling the chains of his Miraculous wrapping around him tightening. "I know Camembert is the cheese that give you the most energy, I do in fact keep a close eye on my son's spending and notice a constant purchase of Camembert, one that would feed and sustain a spoiled Kwami."
The Kwami grinded his fangs together and swirled in front of him. "You don't have the right to call Adrien your son! He's miserable, uncertain. You drove him into the grave with all the work you gave him, just to steal his Miraculous!? Congratulation! You've just earned a to spot in Worst Fathers Who Wore a Miraculous!"
"Enough." Gabriel glared at him, hold the ring up and Plagg's mouth vanished, the Kwami mumbling in panic, his paws touching his face as they arrived in Gabriel's office. He glared at the man, his catlike eyes narrowing.
Natalie stepped in causing Plagg to duck behind Gabriel for a second before he saw Duusu on her shoulder. Duusu gasped when she saw Plagg and rushed to him, Plagg accepting her hug. Duusu held a few tears back, stroking the back of the Cat Kwami. She pulled back and held his face at arm's length, tracing the area around Plagg's mouth was, Plagg holding her paw to his cheek, his eyes returning to normal.
"Oh Plagg, I'm sorry." She whispered, dropping her head. "This is all my fault, if I was a better Kwami to Emilie, maybe this wouldn't have-" She started but Plagg placed a paw on her mouth, tilting his head, his eyes twinkling. Duusu couldn't help but sigh, smiling.
"You're right. You might be a brat but, you're right." She sighed, dropping her head. Plagg pulled her into a hug, dropping his jawline to her shoulder, his chest purring.
"Plagg, in the bag, now." Plagg glanced up at Gabriel, who turned away from Natalie and gestured at a bag on the table. "And eat, once we're alone, we're transforming. Natalie, get Adrien."
Please, please review. they all make me want to keep writing. Writing is getting harder for me, and knowing people like and want more chapters will help me be more motivated to give you something quicker.
Thanks.
Daniel
