A/N: I got a burst of inspiration this morning and managed to get Chapter Three finished earlier than expected.

I also received a few guest reviews about Her Knight that included some questions. I answered to the best I could without spoiling the story.

Guest:It makes me think of that story were a lady is married but she only meet him in the dark and she has to promise not to look at him but one day her friend worries her and says her husband must be horrible and that she should take a peak with a candle. and she gets her peak but then the candle wax drips and wakes him up and then he disappears. maybe alya will be that friend?
either way even if someone says chat noir turns into a cat it is way more ridiculous than him being a model so I bet mari wouldn't believe it anyway.
love chat getting all jealous about her human suiters. I am betting this other chat thing is a ghost o a stray cat. maybe for a chat noir that was forgotten and was a cat for Bridgette.
orr maybe since its only been seen by Adrien and plagg its a mystical mysterious thing. after all there is a running theory that cats can see ghosts, fairies, magic, spirts and the like.
and tikki is a different affinity so maybe plagg's sight is on a different level than hers?

I think that the story you're referencing is the Greek myth of Eros and Psyche. I did take some inspiration from the myth so you are spot on about that.

InsertNameHere:Hmmm... would it be possible for Marinette to say that she loves him as a friend? Would that let him become human? I'm really curious as to where this story is going, and you're one of the better fanfic writers out there. Keep up the good work!

More details on Chat's deal with Plagg will be explained further as the story goes on. Thanks for the compliment!

fifirdbk:I don't mind how long it takes to write but please don't give up on this story because it is really good and unique I haven't seen a story like this before, lots of people give up on their stories it's sad.

I'm not going to give up on the story, it just may take a couple days to a week for me to update Her Knight.

Songbird17:Theory #1: The thing following Chat and LB is Felix, but he's crazy evil and wants to take their miraculous so he can bring back Bridgette (the love of his life).
Theory #2: The thing is the evil version of Chat Noir from a possible future and is being controlled by Hawkmoth to steal the miraculous while his past self and partner are still relatively new being superheroes, thus giving him the advantage.
P.s. I love the story

Thanks, I'm glad that you like it!

emyy250: Why can no one else see the thing? Does it have something to do with him being a cat?

The situation with the creature following Chat and LB is touched upon more in this chapter and the next, so your question will be answered.

Sorry about the long author's note, now onto Chapter Three!


Chat was examining the scraps that covered his shoulders. Today's akuma had nearly pitched him into the Seine. Ladybug had saved his skin yet again. It was one thing for Chat Noir to get hurt. However, Marinette's cat having the same injuries as Chat would start to raise suspicion. He winced when he heard Marinette come in through the trapdoor. He then gave his best attempt at a scowl when he heard Marinette gasp at the injuries.

"Chaton, what happened?" She said, grabbing the cat. She began taking him to the bathroom to grab the first aid and Chat almost sighed in relief. He loved his princess dearly, but she was quite oblivious. Luckily, in this situation it played in his favor.


Chat, for the first time, almost jumped for joy when Marinette left for school. He was finally able to show the drawing to his kwami. He pulled the slip of paper out underneath Marinette's bed where he had hastily stashed it when she wasn't paying attention. He placed the slip of paper in front of the cat god, staring at him expectantly. The kwami took one look at it then reached a conclusion. "You're seeing my previous kitten."

Chat titled his head to the side in confusion. If this was the previous miraculous holder, how was he appearing as Chat Noir? Plagg must have read his mind in accordance to what he said next. "The previous holder died as Chat Noir, and a part of him is still attached to the ring. I'm not sure why he is just appearing now, since the ring has been active for three years now." The kwami rubbed his temples before continuing. "As to why you're the only one seeing him, I have a few ideas as to why. My best guess is that, you being the current miraculous holder, have a stronger connection to the previous holder. That and the holder hasn't been gone for a long time. I think it might be a possibility that his soul is still attached to the ring. As to why, I don't know."

Chat was curious as to why the miraculous holder was still attached the ring. He had heard Alya talk to Marinette about supposed myths about cats. She had mentioned their ties to the supernatural, which he could believe considering how his life was going. However, the miraculous holding a tie to one of its past holders who had passed on, gave him a chilling feeling. What exactly was this previous holder trying to tell him. All of a sudden he heard a tapping at the window. The blood in his veins froze when he recognized the previous miraculous holder. He was staring at Chat with an expectant expression. Well, here goes nothing. Chat thought as he bounded towards the window, barely giving Plagg time to transform him.


Marinette was barely paying attention to the hum of school life around her. Between Hawkmoth stepping up his game with akumas and Chat's stalker, she was being drained by worry. She sometimes wished that she had someone she could go to for help besides Tikki for Ladybug problems. She knew that she could have Alya step in as Rena Rouge for extra help, but it was different than having someone more experienced with these issues. Although she liked having someone else to help even out the work load; it was a hassle trying to train Alya. It was even harder trying to get her on the same page as Ladybug and Chat. She chewed on her bottom lip as she thought about who to turn to. She thought about going to the guardian, but was worried about leading Hawkmoth to him. The guardian had already expressed his concern about having about another miraculous holder drawing attention. And to go along with the previous point, she had been taking enough risks as it was visiting him on occasion.

Still lost in her fog of thoughts, Marinette had scarcely been listening when her teacher had ended the class. She had barely gotten through the whole school day. Fortunately, it seemed like no one had noticed her detachment. This idea was abandoned when Marinette noticed Alya striding up to walk alongside her. "Girl, are you okay? You seem really out of it." Alya asked seeming genuinely concerned.

"Yeah, I just didn't get a lot of sleep last night. Up late studying for an exam." The lie came easily to her. After all she had a lot of practice lying over the course of her career as Ladybug.

Luckily, Alya seemed to catch the hint that whatever has troubling Marinette, she didn't want to talk about it. Instead, she filled the silence in with chatter about school and the Ladyblog. Marinette kept up with the conversation to the best of her ability but got a free pass once they reached the bakery.

"Make sure to text me later, Mari!" Alya said, over her shoulder as she left Marinette standing in front of the bakery door.

She let out a deep breath and then went inside. Just in time to help out with the rush hour.


Chat could barely keep up with the previous holder. He was a lot quicker and agile than Chat. He was always somehow keeping two steps ahead. Chat was beginning to regret following the previous holder alone. What if he was leading him to a trap, or really was an akuma in the guise of the previous holder? Chat pushed the thoughts aside, and focused on the task at hand. Following the previous holder. If he was an akuma, he could stall him until Ladybug got there. He noticed that the previous holder was started to slow down, and then he noticed where they were heading. One of Paris's cemeteries.


Marinette was starting to become frantic. She could not find her cat anywhere. She knew that he did come and go but he never stayed away for hours at a time. Even Sabine, who knew their cat had a tendency to wonder off, was worried. Her mind ran wild with possible scenarios of her cat getting into trouble. After all, he was just a cat in Paris, a big, bustling city. She gnawed on her lip for what seemed like the hundredth time that day as she ran through ideas of where her cat could be. She just hoped that he didn't get caught up in an akuma attack. She'd never find him if he did.


Chat tailed behind the previous black cat holder. The previous holder had slowed their pace quite a bit. He watched closely as they stopped in front of a certain grave where someone else already stood. Chat tried to stay out of sight and watched the scene behind a tomb a few feet away from the grave. His eyes scanned over the inscription, which was printed in a gold font.

Felix Agreste

Beloved son

Born: May 20th, 1995

Died: October 15th, 2015

Chat was shocked by the date, this was around the time that he and Marinette had received their respective Miraculous. The holder had been active just right before Hawkmoth. What happened to the holder-Felix? To be as disfigured as Felix was, it had to have been something quite traumatic. Chat leaned a little closer in attempt to pick up on what the man was saying.

"I will bring you back, Felix. I'll bring you and your mother back, I just need a little more time. Ladybug and Chat Noir have been difficult opponents to beat-"The man continued to ramble on but Chat had stopped listening after that third sentence. Chat's eyes widened as the realization hit. This was man standing over the grave was Hawkmoth. Hawkmoth was the previous holder's father. He knew right then had to get out of her before he was discovered. Even though this man looked harmless, he had the power to bring Paris to its knees.

Miraculously, despite Chat being the epitome of bad luck, he had managed to slip past Monsieur Agreste by the skin of his teeth. How would he convince Ladybug how he had found out Hawkmoth's identity? He only happened to recognize the man due to the fashion magazines displaying pictures of the designer and his designs in Marinette's room. How would he carefully break it to her that her idol was the one terrorizing all of Paris?

Chat was about to detransform on the bakery's balcony when Marinette came bursting through the trapdoor. When he saw the look on her face all he could think was: This can't be good.

"I am Briar Rose, and no one can tell me to stop living a fairy tale!"

Well, that can't be good either. Chat cast a look over his shoulder just in time to see a large vine winding its way across nearby buildings. Before he could move a vine twisted its way around his foot and yanked.


A/N: Sorry(not sorry)for the cheesy fairytale inspired akuma. I kind of just made an estimate on Felix's birthdate and the date that the miraculous holders became active. I hope that's okay!

I got back on track with Her Knight and have another chapter done. I'm planning on making the next chapter 3,000+ words so the next chapter might be a couple days. Also, I'm debating on how long to make these chapters. So let me know whether you'd like to have shorter chapters every other day or longer chapters every week or so. Thanks for reading!

P.S/ Please let me know if there are any grammatical or spelling errors in any chapter of Her Knight.I do read over the chapter before I post them but I occasionally miss a few.
