Chapter 8: Don't do anything reckless(part II)
"Chat this is serious,this is no time for puns or jokes." She said sitting on the edge of the roof.
"Now tell me what type of evidence you have on this person to suspect they're Hawkmoth?" she asked turning towards him.
"Plenty, my lady,plenty."

"Plenty, my lady,plenty." Chat had told her. Ladybug motioned her hand as to tell him to continue.
"Go on Chat tell me." she urged on.
"Okay hmm where to start….." he thought out loud. He really didn't know where to start should he just list his evidence in random order or … maybe start from the beginning.
"Okay um first off I saw her talking to a butterfly and…" he was interrupted when ladybug stopped him.
"Wait...wait talking to a butterfly?" she asked unknowingly to him she was trying not to laugh.
"Yeah just wait here comes the shocking part. So as I was saying she was talking to the butterfly and suddenly she told it to evilize someone. She let the butterfly flutter away then suddenly there was an akuma and next thing I know she's gone." he explained. Ladybug looked at him skeptically.
"Chat how do you know she was not messing around and just ran to hide from the akuma?" She tried to come up with logical explanations.
"I know she wasn't my lady,plus that's not the only thing. I went into her room and…" He again was cut off. At this point I'm never going to get to explain the whole thing.
"Chat you went into her room!" she gasped out a horrified look on her face. She knew what it felt when someone snooped around her room and she did not appreciate that Chat was snooping around someone's room.
"I mean yes but it was for research and..." Though ladybug wouldn't hear any of it.
"Chat Noir I don't care if you were looking for 'proof'. " she said as she air quoted 'proof'.
"That's call breaking an entry without the person's content that someone has been in their room if you didn't know." she huffed out. Chat just crossed his arms.
"It's not called breaking an entry if the window was left open." he mumbled. Ladybug sighed and rubbed her temple.
"You know what I'm not going to argue over this since we have a time limit. So just continue with the evidence." she let out.
"Okay so I was in her room and saw a bunch of pictures of myself on her wall."
"Okay I'm proud that you found yourself an admirer, Chat,but I have no idea how that proves she's Hawkmoth." Ladybug told him. She couldn't believe she was might be late to meet Alya just for this. Chat was starting to panic ladybug had an unamused look on her face. Which meant she probably thought she came here for no reason.
"No look they're pictures of me as in my civilian form. Plus she has all my whereabouts for the next month. To be honest I think she might be targeting me to be an akuma." He hopelessly told her. Ladybug picked up the worried tone in is voice.
"Chat if she really was Hawkmoth why would she be targeting you specifically?" she asked her worried partner. She needed to know why he thought that. There had to be a reason why he thought that.
"I ..well let's say she and I didn't get off to a great start and ever since that day. I get a feeling she hates me even if I apologized to her." he sighed out.
"She even had these what I presume are voodoo dolls of us and other akumatized villains." Chat's words kind of shocked her.
"Voodoo doll?" she said laughing a bit. Chat frowned.
"I'm serious Ladybug." he told her. Ladybug stopped laughing and calmed down.
"Okay fine just..okay voodoo dolls?" she asked
"Yes voodoo dolls one of them had stuffing falling out of it's sides and pins were stuffed in it. That one doll being me as my civilian form,another reason why I think she's targeting." Marinette concentrate on his word. Why did the doll thing seem so familiar?
"They were so detailed too. Way to detailed for a random person to notice. Not to mention she's never been akumatized and always disappearing ."
Ladybug shook her head. "Chat there are plenty of people that have not gotten akumatized."
"Look ladybug this girl...I know she gets insulted sometimes by this other girl…"he hesitated to say Chloe's name. "By this girl named Chloe you know." Ladybug nodded. She could related basically anyone how Chloe had lashed out on or insulted by her,had been akumatized. That meant whoever Chat's suspect went to her school. Which narrowed it down to a bit. She was lucky that had a miraculous because if she didn't she'd probably would have been akumatized already. Though throughout his whole speech her heads been going,this is strangely familiar! Though she decided to ignore it.
" Plus I don't think anyone Chloe insults gets out not akumatized. Anyways I also feel like she might be Hawkmoth because of my kwami said." This got ladybug's attention.
"Chat what did your kwami say?" she asked wanting to know.
"He...I know my kwami can sense other kwamis and I bet yours can to," She nodded. Of course she knew ever since Timebreaker.
"My kwami said that whenever she's around he feels a strange aura. You know magic related." Chat looked at her. She was looking at him attentively waiting for him to go on.
"So I...I figured he was sensing a kwami. Also the other day I saw her wearing what I presumed was her miraculous." Chat told her. Ladybug was starting to get convinced that this girl might be Hawkmoth.
"How did it look like." she asked. Curious to know if what it looked like.
"Well it was a simple butterfly shaped brooch,the color white." he told her. A brooch,huh? That's a strange coincidence. Ladybug nodded standing up as another question came to mind.
"Chat do you know this girl personally?" though as soon as she said it. She knew the answer when she saw the look on Chat's face and his ears fall against his head.
"I do which sucks even more because she's really nice,creative,kind of clumsy but caring for others. Though I know that could just be a cover up since we don't act the same as we do in and out of masks." Ladybug looked sadly at her partner. She knew he was right about that. Ladybug and Marinette didn't act anything alike so the personality thing is understandable.
"Chat I think we might have possible suspect and she does have an alibi. I think we should watch her and then confront her. Though you never told me the name of the girl." Chat looked at her in surprise.
"Oh I'm sorry my lady and her name is Mari…." They was interrupted by a beep from her yo-yo. She looked at the time. Her eyes widen at the time. She had two minutes to get to her house. Two!
"Uhh...sorry Chat but tell me this girl's name uh how about tomorrow same time. I have to go." she quickly told him as she walked over to the edge of the roof.
"Just don't do anything reckless okay."She told him as she turned around and to give him a nod which he returned with a small smile. Then she launched herself off the roof,yo-yo in hand not hearing what Chat said.
"I can't promise that my lady."

Marinette got there barely because as soon as she dropped her transformation. She heard her name be called and her trapdoor open.
"Marinette?" It was Alya. She reached for her textbook in effort to look like she'd been studying.
"Up here." she called from her bed. She smiled as she saw Alya's head pop up. Though in her mind she couldn't stop the nagging feeling that was eating away at her thoughts. Why did everything Chat had said been familiar? Why? And why did she get a feeling that she knew who he was talking about?
.
.
.
It wasn't until Alya had left and Tikki fell asleep that she really thought about it. She focused on Chat's words.
'I saw her talking to a butterfly' Talking to a butterfly? Just like she was talking to one a few days ago? She shot up from her bed,eyes wide open. No,It couldn't be. He couldn't really think that,could he? It must be some coincidence,but then again.
'Well it was a simple butterfly shaped brooch,the color white' A brooch? She had just made one exactly what he described. A simple white butterfly shaped brooch. She took the brooch into her hands,could it be? She refused to think it. But this girl goes to my school and gets insulted by Chloe. Never was around akumas and never akumatized. A kwami sensing another one and if it was her then his kwami sensed Tikki. She also swore Chat was about to say her name. It was all start to add up.
Why her things these past few days were a bit out of place. The only one that could climb this building was some one crazy enough or someone with superpowers. That meant Chat Noir had been in her room. In her room searching through her belongings. She was to mad,to in disbelief and to disappointed to think about,the posters and the dolls. All she was thinking at that time was...He thought she was the villain. Though to be fair he did gather enough information to think so. Though that didn't give him right to assume..to..to go into her room.
She was going to skin that cat...she was to skin him alive. She felt something pop in her. He thought she was the villain and she started to laugh. He thought she was Hawkmoth. Her. Her cat was an idiot. This feeling of hilarity didn't last .It was replaced with frustration.
"Uggh….What am I going to do?" she worried out loud. How was she going to get herself out of this situation?Especially without revealing herself? She clutch one of her pillows and threw it over her loft.
"Once I get my hands on that cat..I going to kill him… I'm going to skin him,nine lives ... I'm going to... "
"Going to what? Princess." A familiar voice asked.
This originally had a different ending but the day before updating I deleted it all and rewrote the ending. Anyways I saw the New Beauty and the Beast Movie, Friday and might I say it was amazing. Though they did sing a lot,but loved it nevertheless. Plus I didn't make her realize right away, that he was talking about her because..I mean come on she's as blind and oblivious as he is. Plus I kind of wanted her to realize it by herself . In the next Chapter we have a angry Marinette and a scared cat. Anyways thanks for reading!
