Chapter two
Dream to Hell
XXX
Marinette woke up in a hospital room. The sound of a beeping heart monitor escalated when she jolted awake suddenly. She took a deep breath, to be still her beating heart, and composed herself. Marinette never cared for hospitals, it reminded her of a setting from a horror film. The white walls, the pointy needles, and even the magazines. Yes, she found those tasteless magazines revolting, when she would wait in the waiting room. Imagine, having to wait by the clock for your turn, and the only thing to ease your boredom was those mocking magazines. They're so outdated, she knew that for a fact, by the clothing they wore. Marinette was an aspiring fashion designer, so she knew her fashion. Could they be so kind to have magazines that don't have a Stepford wife on the cover for once?
She drew away from her thoughts when an old man entered the room. An air of confusion came over Marinette's face. She didn't recognize this old man, but she felt herself at ease with his presence. He wore a red Hawaiian shirt and rubbed his grey beard aimlessly. He came forward, with a cane as his aid, and he now stood next to her.
"Who are you?" Marinette asked cautiously.
"My name is Mr. Fu, Marinette Dupain-Cheng. I came to explain to you about your dreams," He explained casually like he was talking about the weather.
"Hold on, how do you know about my dreams?" Her heart monitor began to beep in apprehension.
"I'm so sorry, I don't have time to explain, some man shall wake you up soon. Those dreams are your calling, Marinette, their not a figment of your imagination. You're a Dreamcatcher, a lucky charm, to be more precise. You're a pawn to them, but to the miraculous akumas, you're their strong knight to help them escape. Take these earrings, and never take them off…" He told her cryptically as he handed her ladybug earrings.
Marinette obliged Mr. Fu's words by putting the earrings on her pierced ears. She was still trying to comprehend his words. She grasped the term lucky charm, which almost made her laugh, because she was such a klutz and good luck was never on her side.
"Protect Chat Noir from being akumatized…." Mr. Fu disclosed before he disappeared in front of her.
She shut her eyes, to see if her mind was playing tricks on her, as she opened them slowly. She then felt a heavy, invisible pressure on her chest, this made her close her eyes again and then she reopened them to face a gorilla man. Marinette thrashed under him, about to scream, but he tightened his grip on her frail neck. She bit on his rough hand hard, which made him loosen his grip, and she was available to attain some air into her lungs.
"Hold still, you damn Akuma!" The big guy grunted in irritation.
She tried to claw on his face, but it was futile, since he struck a needle on her arm. She hissed at this, her body felt delirious, as she found herself in darkness again.

Alya sat in the recreation room deep in thought. She had a miraculous ability with the wonders of technology. She could hack computers, hear conversations through phone calls, and could communicate through technological devices. This meant Alya knew the 411 of everything in this God forsaken ward. She heard about a newbie coming soon, which intrigued Alya greatly and made her felt sorry for that person. What Alya had gathered that this newbie was special, so Hawk Moth would probably leave Alya alone for awhile.
"Hey, stranger," A familiar voice addressed her suddenly with a hidden love in his tone.
"Hey, Nino," She replied back as she tried to hold back her smile.
Nino was the love of her life. However, they had to keep their love a secret, because it was forbidden in the ward. Nino had the miraculous ability with music. He had hearing like sonars, he could manipulate sound waves, and could even make the entire ward into a silent movie.
"Have you seen, Chat?" Alya asked, but she already had a hunch of his answer.
"He's in the black hole again, he made Hawk Moth really piss this time," Nino answered with pity.
The black hole was basically a confined cell. The punishments they threw in there were harsh, to the point, where you lose a hint of yourself. Alya had been in there a few times, she was very afraid of spiders, and they would manipulate her mind to think spiders were in there. Alya knew the good of the cause of spiders, they even made an emotional children's movie out of it, but spiders to her were still creepy.
"Hey, look at that!" Nino said as he pointed at the window covered with bars.
They looked through the barely see-through window, intrigued to see what was going on in the outside world, where they saw an unconscious girl being carried out of a black Mercedes.
"Can you hear what they say the girl name is, Nino?" Alya piqued to her lover.
He tightened his hearing aids up with a concentrated look. Then, his golden brown eyes brightened, "Her name is Marinette Dupain-Cheng," Nino stated matter-factly.
"Well, Marinette Dupain-Cheng, welcome to Hell…" Alya drawled filled with promises to her statement.

Marinette woke to herself tied to a chair. She tried to wiggle her hands free, but these knots were pretty damn tight. Whoever tied her to the chair, must have been a boy scout as a kid, because these kind of knots were quite creative.
"You're awake, I see," A man said observantly.
She looked up and faced a man with half of his face hidden with a grey mask. The way he posture himself was quite intimidating. She bit her lip worryingly, desperate to be free from these knots, so she could bite her damn nails.
"Who are you? What am I doing here? Where are my parents?" Marinette questioned excessively.
"Now, now, please calm yourself. Care for some tea?" Hawk Moth inquired as he poured himself some tea.
Marinette stared at him like he was the Mad Hatter. She sat at a table, where a fine set of china sat ontop of a nice tablecloth, and there was fancy finger food.
"How can I when I'm tied to a chair?" She replied sarcastically.
"Quite a bright girl, you are. If I untie you, do you promise not to choke me?" He asked knowingly.
"Fine…" She said after a minute, but the idea of her escape was so tempting.
He untied her wrists before she picked up her own filled teacup to her lips. She gave him a defined look, but he only shook his head.
"I didn't put anything in your teacup, except for maybe a hint of poison..." He drawled, which made her drop her teacup in fright.
"I'm only kidding, don't be so jumpy," Marinette wondered what this guy deal was?
"Where is my family and why am I here?" She said to change the subject, to the most important thing at hand.
"Your dreams are very special, especially when it involves Chat Noir," Her eyes widened when he handed her a file, which contained a picture of her dream boy.
"This is…" She drawled breathlessly.
"Yes, this is Chat Noir, and we need you to tame him. They call yourself a dream catcher, Marinette, you can invade someone's dream. We need you to manipulate our akumas dreams, so they can be more cooperative, because they're a danger to this world. Chat Noir, especially…" Hawk Moth implied at the file.
"What are Akumas?" She asked curiously.
"An Akuma is basically someone with a miraculous ability. You are an Akuma as well, given to how you can invade someone's dream," He proclaimed while she shook her head in denial.
"Listen, you got the wrong girl. I'm simply plain old Marinette, nothing special about me…" She argued weakly.
Hawk Moth banged his fist on the table. "Listen here, girl. You have quite an extraordinary talent, don't deny it. If you're not cooperative, then will resort to other means…" He lingered with cruel intentions.
"Which is?" Marinette piqued with a gulp.
"You will never see your parents again…"
Ooh, next chapter, Chat and her will make an encounter. Chat a notorious entry of that. Hawk Moth is evil!
