Penguin: Hello chibis! So here is the update for Miraculous: Mine to Take! :D So today is technically my last day of school, but I still have to go on Monday to do a senior activity. So that means more time to write, and possibly more time to post more stories c; And I know this chapter is short, but it's worth it and it's important and I'll tell you why.
YOU'LL FINALLY GET TO KNOW WHO THE STALKER IS. (And I did say that I would tell you which chapter it is, so you're welcome. c;)
I'm not joking. After 24 chapters of guessing who it is...you'll finally get to know. And maybe...just maybe...not everyone shows their true colors. c;
...Imagining the review section right now...
Anyways, BEFORE we get to that part, we have to answer some reviews!

Pinksakura271: That is true. I'd say both is worse. Kidnapping has way more torture, depending on how extreme the person will go. (Trust me, I've seen a ton of Law and Order and read a ton of books on this topic.) Nope, can't change his mind. We'll see what happens! He will find her. Eventually. And I was sick, now it's more of a little small sniffle now and then. It was bad. If you've read my profile, I HATE being sick. It's miserable. And I don't even wanna think about that spider bite... No problem! I remembered you asking me if Cecilia would try to help them find her a while back. So you're welcome! I would have done it too. It is. Hmmmm... I'm stubborn like that too. Adrien's a deep thinker, so he would think of tactics to do that. He should have told her about it. It's her best friend, she needs to know. Yes, Cecilia isn't fond of her, but no one deserves to be tortured. Idk how I feel about 'soulmate' because I'm too young to understand it now.

Pinksakura271: Thank you :s I checked it when I was posting the other one and I realized that you asked me when I was done typing it. I will remember on Wednesday! I swear! I remembered a movie about a girl who was named Chrysanthemum and she was picked on by other kids and she was upset and hated her name and her pregnant teacher had a baby and named it after her :D It was a really random thought, but I remembered that her name was also a flower. I'd love that surprise. I'm a water balloon champion! I've had people blast me with water balloons. It was cold. Hehehe I didn't think about that. And they will! I hope!
Mayuralover: It is? I'm glad I did it then! :D Thank you!
Now let's get to the chapter! (Finally.) And trust me when I say this: You really will be shocked when you realize who it is. And it was someone you guys never even guessed.
Footsteps. They tapped across the floor, coming at a slow, steady pace toward her. Marinette was on the floor. She didn't have the strength to stand any more. My wrists are bleeding again. The footsteps kept coming closer.
Marinette didn't move. She thought that perhaps she might just be imagining that sound. For days, she only heard-
Her heartbeat. Her screams. "Who…" Marinette tried to ask…Who's there? But she couldn't get the words out. Her throat had closed up. She couldn't even cry anymore. "It's all right," his voice told her, whispering in the darkness. "I've got you."
Then she felt something against her lips. Something wet and cool and so wonderful. She choked at first as the water poured over her lips. "Easy. I'm going to take care of you…" She gulped the water. Drank and drank.
Her stomach cramped. Her throat convulsed. The water spilled from her lips. Over her shirt. "Open your eyes, Marinette." They were closed? She blinked and the light hit her. Too bright and hard and she couldn't see anything clearly. He was before her. A big, hulking form. Blurry.
"I'll get you cleaned up," he promised her. Because she was filthy and bloody. But I'm not dead. "I will be the one you need. The only one. I will be the one who takes care of you from now on. You don't have to worry about anyone else. No set designer telling you that you're eating too much, that you need to work out more, to practice more…"
Ivan?
"I knew you hated that life." She still couldn't see him clearly. Her eyes just wouldn't focus with that sudden light. His voice was husky and low, as if he were talking to a lover. Is that what I am to him?
"I would come and watch you model. Not just at your shows, but during rehearsal. I knew you needed me…" The water was gone. She tilted her head back. Stared up at him. "Sleeping Beauty…finally waking up to see me."
Marinette shook her head. "Not…Sleeping Beauty…" His features were sharpening, coming into focus before her. "You're my Beauty. And I'll be the one to wake you up. The one who gives you life." He pushed the water away. The container spilled, and water poured over the floor. "Or death."
She could see him now. Marinette stared into his face. Looked straight into the eyes of a man who was crazy. As crazy as he accused her of being. "There's no going back now," Max told her, "I've got you."
The windows of the brownstone were boarded up. A giant KEEP OUT sign covered the front entrance. "Yeah, yeah, got it," Nino said into his phone. Adrien glanced over at him. The weight of his gun pressed into Adrien's side. Cecilia held a flute in her hand, smirking evilly. (A/N: I'll explain why she has a flute later.)
Alya held out her nunchucks confidently. (A/N: Her nunchucks are like the ones Mikey has in TMNT, if you're wondering what they look like.) "The brownstone is in a cousin's name. That's why it didn't come up when we did a property search for Dr. Max."
Because Adrien had gotten his team to look up any and all properties tied to Max. But his agents had come up with nothing. Not anymore.
Adrien had known that if he got close enough, if he taunted the guy, if he pushed him hard enough, Max would break. But he might try to take Marinette with him when he shatters. "The cops are on their way," Nino continued, voice roughening. "We should wait-"
Adrien pulled his weapon from his holster. Thunder rumbled overhead. "No, we shouldn't." Because he knew Marinette was in that place. Scared. Hurt? He was getting her the hell out of there.
I'm coming, baby, I'm coming.
Penguin: Thank you guys for reading! I'm actually on the last chapter of the book. Crazy, I know right? And that also means…
This story is almost over. I actually don't know how many chapters in total this story will have as of right now. I have to see how I'm going to divide the chapter because I don't want to make a long ass chapter and be done with it. That's just plain lazy. So I will let you know how many chapters will be left on Monday. And for the reason why Cecilia has a flute: Pinksakura271 sent me her bio about her, and when I was writing about the weapons, I had to think really hard about what weapon she would have. So I went back to the bio to see what weapon does her transformed OC has, and it was a flute. It's a flute that can hypnotize people and I thought it'd be the best for her since her OC uses it when she's transformed as her superhero OC. And to know all about that info, you can head over to Pinksakura271's lovely profile and check her OC out! Anyways, thank you and I'll see you on Monday! Bye!
Note: There is currently a 5 way tie in the poll right now, so maybe, JUST maybe, might have to extend the poll for another week. Please go vote, and if you don't have a laptop, just PM me. It's not like I'm not going to post those stories (Because I wanna write them, so I'm gonna post them eventually.). But if there's a 5 way tie, then I don't know which one to write FIRST before all of those other ones. So please break this tie! XD
