Cat Noir wasn't used to waltzing with his first hypnotized victim at the gala. Dracula taught him that if he has to survive for all eternity, he has to feed on blood from the living. He dipped her in front of a mirror, only her reflection was visible and he was not.
"I'm looking for my first bride," He said and was only acting, just so he can feed. This woman was a bit older than him, perhaps 17. He brought her up and made her lean her back against his chest and his tongue tracing her vein, "Don't be afraid, my dear. The pain will end soon enough" He said seductively and sinks his fangs in her neck, deciding whether to turn her or kill her. He does not want a bride but his victim is going through a broken heart from her ex-boyfriend. He decided to turn her by injecting venom into her neck.
"Ahhhhh!" She let out a small gasp.
He made sure his hunger and blood lust is satisfied before his victim faints and gets turned by tomorrow night, "Haaaaah…..Yes," He caught her when she fainted and Dracula came to take the body to his bride collection of coffins.
"Well done, Cat Noir" Dracula was impressed.
"Thanks and I'll say this one more time, I don't want a bride" Cat Noir reminded him and shoved the unconscious body to him, "Once I have full control, I might go back to Paris"
"Very well. But remember your normal life is gone" Dracula said.
"I know. I was once a superhero Cat Noir and I did have a few good things in my life. My father was not the same as I remember because he isolated me. Just like the love of my life rejects my feelings. It's like the light of God from the sunlight that doesn't accept us." Cat Noir said and goes to the table to grab a glass wine of blood and took a sip, "Tell me, does the Holy Cross really weaken us because vampires are afraid of God?"
"Yes, as well as holy water," Dracula said.
"Garlic and wooden stakes? Too much weakness" Cat Noir took a huge sip of blood.
"Yes, and decapitation," Dracula said.
"Wow, you made my cold skin crawl," Cat Noir said sarcastically.
"But it's true, child. We vampires hide from the mortal world. Mortals fear monsters like us." Dracula said as he brings the new unconscious bride to his room filled with bride coffins.
"Not everyone fears them. And I need action like fighting. It's what I do. Got anything that I can fight against?" Cat Noir asked.
"You got a lot of courage. Well, there's been zombies popping up in the forest and they don't eat vampires' brains. 3 weeks ago, my army failed and died by getting sunburned before finishing off those monsters. Do you think you can handle them until sundown?" Dracula asked and puts his new bride in the coffin.
"I'll give it a try, master" Cat Noir joked at the last sentence.
"Funny and now come. My council is waiting for us. Are you still full from all that blood?" Dracula asked and headed out the door to the halls of the castle while Cat Noir followed.
"I'm all full" Cat Noir said as he follows the prince of darkness.

Felix was a bit bitter that his cousin's friends care too much for him, especially that pigtailed girl who stutters a lot. He's now at the photoshoot doing poses for the ad campaign.
"Okay, Mr. Agreste. One more pose for the camera" Vincent said.
"One more?" Felix asked.
"Yes, look at the camera and give us a smile while having your arms crossed," Vincent said.
"Got it" Felix gave his best charming smile at the camera.
As much as he hates to be in Adrien's place, he wants to know what his uncle is hiding and he's gonna find out why, "Once this is over, I'm launching my investigation" He thought.
An hour later, he was brought back to the mansion by Gorilla. Felix knows that his uncle is extremely strong like last time but he won't back down this time. During that Collector incident, he knows for sure that he's Shadow Moth.
"Let's get started," He said and walks inside the mansion.
He took out his spy monocle and puts it on his right eye to investigate in his uncle's office. His spyglass spots fingerprints on the left side of the portrait. He moves it aside and did an x-ray through the safe and spots a camera. He used a special gadget on the safe door to crack the code and successfully turn off the camera inside and opened the safe door.
"Bingo!" He took the book inside.
He opens the book and looked through the pages of the ancient superheroes, even one that looks like Hawk Moth, "I knew it!" He smirked and closed the safe and removes the gadget, "Your secret is out Shadow Moth"

The vampire council was standing on the ceiling upside down discussing about the mortal world changing quickly. Technology and inventions gave changed for centuries. Cat Noir was a bit bored but he liked taking a nap like a bat. It was like gravity did not pull him down. He listened to what Dracula was talking about.
"We need to be precautious, everyone. Who knows how many of us will continue in the next century. Perhaps…someday there can be equality between humans and vampires" Dracula said to the council.
"Could be very soon as long as there aren't hunters who were just like Abraham Van Helsing" Another vampire said.
"Where I come from, I'm from the 21st century, gentlemen" Cat Noir smirked and puts his hands behind his back head.
"Ah, yes. You are a very young one" One of them said.
"We would like to know who you are underneath that mask, child," Another said.
Cat Noir hissed in defense, "No thanks. The mask stays on. Besides, I don't want those brides to get all over me if they see the real me"
"As you wish then." The vampire shrugs it off.
The regular bats flew around the room, screeching, telling them that the sun is setting. Cat Noir smirked and landed on the floor in a pose.
"Time for some action. You say zombies are at the west of the forest, right?" Cat Noir asked and borrows the bow and arrows.
"Of course. Let's see what you're made of" Dracula said.
"I work alone. I don't need a partner. My ex-love was the reason why" Cat Noir's fangs went sharp.
"Go ahead." Dracula permitted him to go on his own.
Cat Noir spots a dagger that he could use to stab the monsters' heads to kill them, "This one will do" He took it.
He went out into the woods to fight the zombies on his own. He may have played video games of them but he never faced real zombies. He took west of the forest, regular bats screeched in the night as they flew in groups. He readied his bow and arrows, waiting for an ambush or the ultimate surprise. Zombie bite won't work on vampires, so he's safe from infection.
He suddenly heard something coming from the ground and out came a rotting hand that grabbed his ankle, "Agh!" He fell and looked behind that a rotten zombie growled, trying to get herself out of the ground.
"Get off!" Cat Noir stabbed the zombie in the head with his dagger, killing it, and shoved her off and got back on his feet.
More zombies popped out from the ground, getting out of the ground, and spotted Cat Noir, hungry for flesh and brains.
"This is your unlucky day!" He taunts them and loads an arrow on his bow and shoots one of them in the head. Another arrow shoots straight through five zombies with such force they were impaled onto a tree.
One zombie tries to grab Cat Noir but he twists its head 180 degrees to instantly kill it. He went on to shoot down some more zombies, he rapidly pulls out an arrow and shot through the head of one. Another from behind almost bit his shoulder but he stabbed it in the head with his dagger, pulling it out and kicking the zombie against the tree branch, impaling him.
"Alright, who wants some?!" Cat Noir cracks his knuckles.
The zombies just growled and tried to walk toward him but the vampire feline held his hands out to lift them up with his telekinesis to crush their heads.
Their heads exploded and it splattered onto Cat Noir as he calmly closed his eyes to not get rotten flesh in his eyes, "Now that was really disgusting" He said and removes the rotten intestines off himself, "That was stupid"
He looks around himself, surrounded by corpses. Suddenly, a speeding metal arrow shot through all the corpses' heads in 3 seconds. Cat Noir looked to his side to see Ladybug with her lucky charm crossbow.
"If you got bitten, you would be undead twice," Ladybug said.
Cat Noir scoffed in annoyance and pulled the dagger out of the zombie's head, "I didn't need your help!" He walks away but Ladybug got in front of him with a Latin cross to stop him, "Aaaaahhhh!" He backs away from the power of God, "Put it away!" He hissed in defense.
"Not so fast, kitty" She still held it up.
He hissed in defense and backs away from that holy object, "If that's gonna make me change my mind, forget it! Put it away!"
"Not unless you let me speak first!" Ladybug said.
The power of God was weakening him and his vampire powers were too weak to do anything as he fell down to his knees, "Never! The only thing you're good at is hurting me emotionally, Ladybug! You only want to get rid of your guilt and be done with it! You don't deserve my forgiveness!" He strained from the pain by looking at the holy cross.
"That's what I'm doing, I've been guilt-stricken for days now, many akumatized villains have almost managed to kill me since I was thinking of you," Ladybug said.
"Thinking of me?" He jumped up to the tree branch to get away from the holy cross, hissing with his fangs at her, "That's a sick joke! You never once thought of how I felt, milady. Remember the second attack of Glaciator, you threw me in the trash! I was heartbroken because of you! And now, I don't feel human emotion because vampires are undead."
"I know. Still, I can't do all the heroics myself now and I'm sorry I did it to you that day!" Ladybug said.
"Remember, it's still too late for me to come back. I can't aid you during the day! Even in my personal life, I'm not the same. And I can also tell there is no love in your heart, nothing but darkness! You don't even deserve to be the guardian nor Paris's number one hero! I'm past forgiveness!" Cat Noir angrily ranted.
"I never realized that you really did love me and I rejected you so many times. This is all my fault" Ladybug sobbed a little.
"You're right. It is your fault, milady" He jumped down and kicked the holy cross aside and held her chin to make her look at him, "You only care about keeping Paris safe instead of me or anyone. Being a hero is not about taking care of yourself, it's about taking responsibility for other people. I tried to help you so many times but you never took it. You only think of me as a screw-up. That's another problem. You don't put enough trust in your heart"
Hearing this made blow to her heart, "You're right, kitty" Ladybug said.
"I can never ever forgive you this time. Every other few times I did, you always go back to being secretive. You finally got your wish, Ladybug" Cat Noir said coldly with no emotion.
"What are you talking about?" Ladybug asked.
"That being a vampire means I lost all my human emotion. Which means I don't feel love anymore. I don't feel love for you." Cat Noir said and pins her against the tree, "My bugabride, how does it feel to be alone? Doesn't feel so good, does it?"
"N-N-No!" Ladybug stammered.
"That's exactly what I felt when I was human. My other life is hard but having Plagg with me keeps me sane. I may not know your other life and you also don't know mine. Keeping our identities a secret tore us apart" He puts her hand on his chest.
"I know, but if the villains found out all we knew would be in danger as well," Ladybug said.
Cat Noir rolled his eyes and put her leg around his waist, due to being a vampire that is seductive and a love expert, "Tell me. Are you afraid of me? Do you think I might go blood hunger? You think I might turn you?" He smirked with his fangs showing.
"If I'm to be honest, I'm not afraid of getting turned but your new personality puts me off," Ladybug said.
"You have no idea what it's like. I was attacked by vampire bats in Paris that night before the argument. Like I said, if you had accepted my offer, I would still be human" Cat Noir got off of her, "But fine, I'll think about coming back but I can't walk in daylight. Do you still have that remote and cat toy for emergencies?" He asked since he hears her miraculous beeping that she'll transform back.
"Yes, I do" She gave him the ring Cat toy, "Farewell Cat Noir" Ladybug got off and walks away sadly, Cat Noir could tell she was very depressed about her mistake.
