Adrien P.O.V.
"Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could stay like this forever?" I ask Marinette as we waltz slowly to the music. Her hand linked with mine while the other lays on my shoulder.
"It would truly be the dream" she replies softly, her cheeks are tinted a cotton candy pink color, every one of her hairs is neatly kept in place while her eyes shine with a brilliance I've never seen before.
"Princess, once we're done dancing I have a gift for you" I whisper in her ear as I lean in close, tightening my grip around her waist so that our bodies are closer than before.
"I-Is... so that? I-I mean... is that so?" she stutters clearly caught completely off guard.
"Yes, it's something special for you m'lady" I say whispering once again, I try my best to not get nervous myself. It's hard to keep my cool when our bodies are so close, it's as if only me and her were in this room living a fairy tale.
"You shouldn't have bothered getting me a gift you silly cat..." Marinette says, she moves back a bit and places her head on my chest as the song changes to a slow dance instead of a waltz.
"Thank you anyways, if it's from you I bet it's great" Marinette says as she slips her hand away from mine and places it on my other shoulder. I slide my other hand around her waist and slightly press my head against hers. This was the perfect moment, the moment I wish I could live in forever. This is our magical moment, the one you see in movies; the moment where everything feels okay for a moment and you know everything will be alright.
We sway to the music not speaking a word. The song seems similar but without any words it's hard for me to tell which one it is... it's a nice melody though. Marinette's head rests on my chest and I just hope my heartbeat isn't too loud. I feel her shift and look down to see her now staring at me, my cheeks immediately feel warmer.
"Do you know the name of the song?" she asks me, I simply nod no as I don't trust myself to speak.
"It's called 'a thousand years', you should listen to the lyrics one day. They describe exactly what I feel for you" Marinette says as her face becomes a pomegranate color.
"I don't know if words can describe what I feel m'lady" I say as I lean in closer, our foreheads meet and we lean in slowly closing our eyes.
But before our lips meet, a shriek bellows through out the room followed by a crashing sound and the lights going out. I hold Marinette closer as people gasp and some yell, trying to get outside where there might be light, some call out names and a few people bump into us.
"I AM DESTRUCTA! SOON I WILL DESTROY YOU ALL AND THE THINGS YOU LOVE AS WELL!" a woman with a ripped black dress shrieks. Her hair is messy and black, and she floats above being the only source of light. People scream and run, bumping into me and Marinette.
"Adrien we have to find a place to transform!" Marinette whispers to me as she holds on to me so we don't separate.
"Yeah, let's go!" I say as we start making our way deeper into the castle. Purple beams start lighting the room up, hitting some girls and women making them fall to the floor leaving them in an injured state, out cold.
"MUAHAHAHAHA, LET'S SEE WHO THE NEXT LUCKY PERSON IS! LITTLE RED RIDING GOWN IT'S YOUR TURN" Destructa shrieks, as she aims for Marinette lighting the room up purple with her bean but Marinette has quick reflexes and manages to not get hit. Destructa aims again and only manages to hit her dress ruining the skirt so now it was ripped up to her knee. She starts throwing pink beams and misses every time, with the pink beam she starts levitating objects and throwing them at Marinette who desperately runs in the dark trying to not get hit.
We run fast and somehow manage to make it out of the room with Marinette having to constantly swerve to not get hit, in her dress it's harder for her to run and by the time we make it to another room that's empty her dress is very torn everywhere.
"Are you okay?" I ask her as she takes in deep breathes, clearly tired of having to run around in her heels while wearing her dress. She takes out her clutch purse and opens it revealing her small Kwami.
"We don't have time, Tikki! Spots on!" she says as she begins transforming a pink glow lighting the room.
"Plagg! Claws out!" I yell as he flies out of my suit and transform as well, we nod and run back out to fight Destructa.
We've been fighting for over thirty minutes chasing Destructa all over the place, trying to protect people but can't get close enough to grab her hair pin which holds the akuma.
"LUCKY-" Ladybug yells as she tries to use her lucky charms but Destructa aims at her once more making Ladybug dive out of the way. I'm surprised Ladybug has endured this long, her skin is bruised from Destructa hitting her with objects and slamming her into the wall. She seems to only want to attack females only throwing males to the side when they got in her way leaving them barely even hurt.
I try to help Ladybug as much as possible but Destructa only shifts me to the wall and tries to contain me there with a blue beam. I manage to exchange glances with Ladybug and sneak up behind Destructa trying to grab her hair pin but she turns and sees me, she floats higher and throws me against the wall not too hard. I look over at Ladybug, she doesn't look like she'll be able to take much more before she slows down and finally gets hit with one of those purple beams. Something I won't allow to happen.
Destructa chases Ladybug outside after cornering her with pink beans, I run after them, people outside run in all directions carrying loved ones or trying to hide. Destructa then throws a yellow beam that I haven't seen before. She hits a women who then shrieks in pain and falls to her knees, unlike the purple beam she doesn't faint but instead seems to be in pain as she shrieks and finally passes out.
"IF YOU DON'T GIVE ME YOUR MIRACULOUS LADYBUG THEN I WILL OD THAT TO YOU AND THEN TO YOU LITTLE CAT FRIEND!" Destructa yells as she chases Ladybug onto the roof. I once again chase after them and see her chasing her, I take a shortcut and catch up to Ladybug soon enough.
"Any plans m'lady?" I ask as we run.
"We need to... distract her... so I can... lucky charm" she says between pants, she's running and I can see the fear in her eyes so I nod.
From the corner of my eyes I can see Destructa floating behind us chasing us but not catching up.
"Once we get to that flat part of the roof, use your yo-yo to slam her to the ground, I'll pretend to attack her while you use lucky charm" I tell her making up the plan as we run. She simply nods yes and we run to the flat roof. Ladybug grabs her yo-yo quickly and slams Destructa to the ground. I run up to her and pretend to attack her.
"LUCKY CHARM!" Ladybug yells right before I get hit with a pink beam and Destructa throws me to the corner of the roof. Ladybug holds a can of sprayable lemon juice and stares at it confused. Destructa doesn't skip a beat and tries to attack Ladybug once again.
"LADYBUG!" I exclaim as I run to her pushing her out of the way, I feel her pull on me and we both miss the beam as we roll and she ends up on top of me, the can of lemon juice rolling out of her hands.. She looks at me with and angry expression.
"DON'T EVER DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT AGAIN! I TOLD YOU NOT TO DO STUPID THINGS!" she yells as tear drops form in her eyes, but before I can say anything a pink beam hits her and slams her hard on against the concrete on the other side of the roof and before I can run to her a yellow beam hits her. She shrieks making my heart drop, she squirms and doesn't give in trying to stand on her feet.
"CHAT!" she shrieks as I start running to her, "THE CAN... HER EYES!" she shrieks as she falls onto her knees, Destructa floats higher and laughs malevolently . I look at the can of lemon juice and grab it. I look a Destructa wondering how I could use it... eyes... i got it!
I expand my baton and reach up to Destructa's eye level trying to ignore Ladybug's shrieks which make my heart drop and my head spin. I jump form my baton and soar in front of Destructa, I spray the juice into her eyes and make her stop throwing the beam so she can instead rub her eyes, I shift myself in the air and throw myself on top of her causing her to fall back on to the roof.
"H-HER.. HAIR PIN!" Ladybug yells at me, her voice is weak and her body bruised, she can barely stand up and her hair is a mess. I grab Destructa's hair pin out of her hair.
"LADYBUG!" I yell as I throw the hair pin, I get myself off from Destructa and watch as Ladybug stomps on the hair pin causing a small purple butterfly to come out.
"No more evil doing for you little akuma! De-evilize!" she exclaims as she purifies the ladybug with her yo-yo. I throw the can of lemon juice to her.
"Miraculous Ladybug!" she yells as she throws the can into the air and falls to her knees. Everything becomes fixed as a pink breeze fixes everything, I turn to see a woman maybe in her twenties with a green dress and blond hair.
"Chat... please take care of her," Ladybug groans as her earrings beep. I didn't have the chance to use cataclysm so I'm still good and hardly even hurt, I grab the hair pin and the woman and take us off of the roof.
I tell her to be reassured that now everything is okay, everyone who had been previously hurt or passed out where now okay, being comforted by their loved ones. I am quickly surrounded by people who ask me about Ladybug but say I have to leave as I hide in a bush to de-transform so I can find food for Tikki and Plagg.
I rush inside and find cookies and cheddar cheese, "this will have to do Plagg" I whisper to him as I hear a small groan followed by whatever. I slide the cheese inside my suit and Plagg grabs it. I rush back outside and find an area where no body is, which is simple as everyone is back inside.
I transform again and make my way to the roof, finally finding Marinette. My heart drops, her skin is bruised, her hair a mess, her dress teared and torn, she lays on the floor passed out with a very tired Tikki trying to wake her up as she hugs her cheeks, little tears coming out of her eyes.
I rush to her and de-transform so that can Plagg can help me with Tikki. I kneel down quickly and check Marinette's pulse, I let a sigh of relief, she's alive.
"Tikki" Plagg says as he flies over to the kwami to comfort her, I take out a stack of cookies and place them next to the kwami so she can heal.
"Why... why is she like this? Why is she so hurt? Everyone else healed," I say as I try to hold back tears, I hold Marinette up and cradle her to my chest.
I can feel her soft breath but she doesn't react, I brush her hair out of her eyes and see that her face is scratched and she had a cruise on both her chin and forehead. Tears slip out of my eyes as I see her lying there still, alive but hurt.
A/N: SORRY! I'm not very good with making villains! What will happen to Marinette? Sad chapter... kind of... sort of!
Sorry this was a little shorter than usual. Next chapter I'll try and make it happier and fluffier, I promise. Two days into the school year and I hate everything and everyone:) I will try my best to update as much as possible but sadly my teacher are already giving me homework and I also have my sports team so PLEASE bear with me.
As always thank you for favoriting, following and reviewing, it truly makes my day and encourages to not stop writing, you are all lovely sunshines! 'Till next chapter!
