Marinette's POV
I follow the rest of my class as we walk towards the museum. My best friend, Alya, stands next to me as we reach the entrance.
"I can't wait to see what we will see," Alya says as she takes her phone out, ready to take photos.
"It is interesting that we are going to study about a prince that was murdered at his masquerade ball," Alex says from behind me.
"Yeah! Also, I'm curious about the knife. Rumor is that the knife on display is the actual weapon," Max explains. "No one knows why it haven't rusted yet at all."
"Don't forget that the knife have been taken from where it has been throughout the years."
"What are they talking about," I ask Alya.
"Ok so, there is this knife that people claim to be the actual knife that killed the prince back in the 1700's. Every couple of years it will disappear and will be near where a couple is murdered all around France. Some believe that it is a mass murder stream from the descendant of the man who killed the prince and his lover," Alya tells me.
"But no one can link the crimes and so this knife is shrouded in mysteries," I say as Alya smiles and nods her head.
"Right on Marinette! Though the weird thing is that the prince's name is Adrien," Alya says as the duo looks over at Nino and Adrien Agreste.
"Alright class, split up into the groups we chose earlier today," our teacher, Miss Bustier, reminds us.
Alya smile slyly as we walk over to Nino and Adrien.
"Yo dudest! Did you hear 'bout the so call 'curse' on the knife," Nino ask us as we all start to walk through the museum together.
"Oh? What type of curse," Alya ask Nino.
"The curse is that the prince and his lover's souls are connected to the blade. And that they are killed by that blade every time they are reborn," Nino explains as we continue to walk through the museum.
"Really? So we should keep Adrien from the knife, since he and the prince share the same name," Alya says.
"Look, just because we share the same name doesn't mean I'm the prince's soul reincarnated," Adrien tells our friends.
"Yeah. Wait, didn't the prince wear a cat costume at the masquerade ball," Nino ask.
"Yes. Did you forget about that because you we too busy with the so called 'curse blade'," Alya ask him.
"No! I just," Nino starts.
"Face it Nino, you forgot," Alya says as Nino sighs.
"Alright! I forgot that one little detail."
"That's enough now. We are here," Adrien says as I look around to see we are in the exhibit about the prince.
"Alright! Now lets get this project done and over with. Marinette and Adrien will be together and Nino and I will be together," Alya says as I look at my friend.
She smiles and winks at me as she and Nino walks away.
"Last pair to find the knife will buy everyone lunch," Nino shouts out as he and Alya gets to work.
I look at where they wondered off to as I turn to face Adrien
"S-so? Where do you want to finish, I mean start," I ask him, inwardly breathing in relief that I only messed up one word.
"Yeah sure. So do you believe that the curse is real," Adrien ask me as I try and calm down.
"It's hard to tell, because we don't have all the facts. If it is true, then I feel bad for the couple that are forced to go through this each and every life. And If it's not true, then I wonder how this is still going on," I say as we continue to look at the exhibit.
"That's true. Though wouldn't it be crazy that we know the cursed couple," Adrien says.
"Yeah...but it would also be sad because they might die because of the curse," I reply.
"Yeah, but we will be able to protect them," Adrien say as he smiles at me.
I smile back. I see something flash from the corner of my eye and I turn to see the 'cursed' knife.
"Hey look we found it," I say as I look at Adrien. "So that mean Alya and Nino owe us lunch."
"Looks like that," he says as I turn to look at the knife.
I feel something captivating with the knife. I look at it curiously, until something happens. I see Chat Noir, though it isn't him. I'm in a castle of some sort. The scene then change to a boat, and someone who looks like Adrien smiles at me. The scene changes once more, and its of another person looking like Adrien stabbing me! I then feel someone shake me violently.
"Mari! Alya to Mari! You there?!"
I blink a couple of times to see Alya standing in front of me.
"What? Alya? What happened," I ask her as I look around.
I see Adrien being shaken out of his daze look by Nino. I look back at Alya.
"We found you and Adrien just looking at the knife. What happened," Alya ask me with a worried face.
"Well, we found the knife, then something weird happened. Then I see flashes of people and then you brought me back," I explain to my best friend.
"Wait...you saw people," Alya ask as Nino looks at me.
"Hold on, did that happen to you too Adrien," Nino ask him.
"Yeah, why? What's wrong," Adrien as Nino as we both looked at his paling face.
"Oh no," Nino says.
"Oh no what," Alya ask him.
"Ok so, I am 99.99% sure Mari and Adrien are the reincarnation of the lovers that are cursed by this blade," Nino says, almost casually.
"WHAT?!"
