Chapter 9

Adrien waited for what seemed hours until someone came to see him. "Marinette will be fine… we bandaged her arms and put some blood in her, but she may have no visitors for a bit" Adrien sighs and nods.

A week later. Adrien couldn't stop thinking about Marinette then he gets a call. The hospital told him he was aloud to finally see Marinette. He rushes to the hospital. The goes to the reception. "I'm here to see Marinette Dupain-Cheng." The receptionist tells him what room then he goes to the room. He walks in and first thing he sees is a lot of flowers and cards then he looks at Marinette. Marinette was sitting there watching the news. The news was talking about Ladybug and how they need to get rid of her. Adrien sighs and puts the flowers he brought on the table then grabs the remote and turns the tv off. "that won't help you Mari…" Marinette looks at Adrien and she lights up.

"Adrien!" She hugs him. "I have waited for you!" She smiles.

"how are you feeling?" He smiles.

"weak and really sad but now I'm happy because you are here, you're the only one that won't leave me." She giggles.

"why did you hurt yourself?" Adrien looked at her sadly.

"I just feel alone, and the world hates me" Marinette tries to not tear up. Adrien hugs her.

"cry as much as you want, don't hold back" Marinette nods and she starts crying. They cried and talked for hours. Marinette needed the cry. It got late so Adrien had to leave.

"Adrien… I love you" She smiles. Adrien smiles.

"I love you too Mari" He leaves. Marinette sighs. She hates the hospital, so she decides to sneak out. She turns invisible then leaves the hospital easily.

Next Day. Adrien gets a call from Alya. He answers and couldn't understand Alya much. "slow down why are you panicking?" Adrien asks.

"MARINETTE IS MISSING!" Alya cries.

"ok calm down I think I know where to look" He hangs up. He went to look for her. He goes to the alley she usually escapes to. "Mari? Are you here? It's me Adrien." He sighs. Marinette becomes visible.

"Adrien" she smiles.

"why did you run off?" Adrien holds Marinette in his arms.

"you don't want to know…" Marinette sighs.

"Mari…."

"fine… this is where my mother was burned to death… I wanted to die in the same place my mother did…" Marinette tears up.

"but Marinette… I can't loose you"

"the world hates me… I'm a freak… we shall meet in the next life" She giggles. She grips tightly into the piece of glass in her hand then she stabs it into her neck. Adrien screams

"NO!" He catches Marinette as she falls. "No, no, no don't leave me Mari…" Marinette lays there gasping then closes her eyes and dies. Adrien cries holding her close to him.

Couple weeks later people celebrated that the monster, Ladybug was dead. Adrien got angry so he went on stage and said a speech. "please listen to me…" Everyone looks at Adrien. "you are all monsters for hating Ladybug." He sighs then throws lots of copies of the drawing he gave Marinette to the crowed. "the girl in the drawing… her name was Marinette… she was Ladybug she was no monster she was a teenage girl. She loved to do normal things, she loved to draw and design, she loved hanging with her friends she acted perfectly normal, but she was born different. Her mother died due to radiation exposure, but her daughter survived, Marinette survived but the radiation affected Marinette. She wasn't a monster she just had radiation in her blood. She hated her gift she didn't know what she looked like she couldn't see herself in a mirror or in photos. She was home schooled most of her life due to this curse. She suffered a horrible life but I stuck by her and…" Adrien starts crying "THEN YOU MONSTERS SHOT HER AND SCARED HER SHE JUST WANTED TO BE A NORMAL GIRL SHE THOUGHT OF HERSELF AS A FREAK AND THEN SHE HURT HERSELF SHE WAS JUST A SCARED GIRL, SHE WAS JUST A SCARED GIRL AND NOW SHE IS DEAD BECAUSE OF YOU ALL!" Adrien breaks down crying on stage. Everyone starts to feel awful then instead of celebrating that a monster was dead… they celebrated the life of Marinette Dupain-Cheng and that she will be in peace.

Adrien smiles at everyone. "I did it Marinette…. I made everyone love you"
