Ch.6 Capture the Purrincess!
"Uh dear…" Sabine started looking at her daughter with worry. Marinette noticed her mother's weird behavior and started to worry.
"The, uh the Space Protection Unit is here to see you…"
"Uh…. What? What could they possibly want?!" She whispered-screamed to her mother who could only raise her shoulders.
"Are you going to be ok dear?" Her mother asked worriedly.
"I'll go meet them…" the Bluenette said determined. The two came to the living room noticing Tom trying to make conversation with two officers. A male and female.
"Is there something you guys need?" Marinette asked politely.
"Yes, we want you to come with us." The male officer demanded. He had an officer's cap with that you know officer look? Yeah so does the female one! Yep totally creative!
"YOU ARE NOT TAKING MY DAUGHTER!" Tom yelled protectively.
" Dupain-Cheng was it? Your daughter is believed to have extraordinary powers within her. We wish to tap into that power to see it's potential." The female officer claimed.
"That doesn't give you the right to take her as a lab rat." Sabine responded coldly while putting a protective arm around her daughter's shoulders.
"You know, we can either do this the easy way, or the hard way…" The male officer said as he got up from his seat, walking towards Marinette, but was cut off by Tom himself. He grabbed the officer by the collar and chucked him across the room. Marinette and the female officer was shocked. Sabine just had a calm look on her face.
"OUFH!" The officer cried.
"Sabine take Marinette and get out of here!" Tom ordered while cracking his knuckles to ready himself to fight.
"Come Mari dear." Sabine yanked Mari out of the room and dragged her who know's where.
"B-but Mom! What about Papa!?" She cried worriedly.
"Your Papa is as tuff as nails honey. He will be fine." Sabine responded with confidence in her husband's strength.
"Where are you taking me Momma?" Mari asked with curiosity.
"The basement sweety, now shush." And so the two went down to the basement. Sabine moved a shelf out of the way to reveal a hidden door.
"Momma?"Mari questioned.
"Come on dear." She pulls a key from her apron and unlocks the door to reveal a mysterious hallway.
"Dear take this key and run. Don't ever look back. Ever." She explains.
"B-But Momma I won't leave you." Mari interjected.
"No sweety, you are far too precious to lose. Now go." Sabine calmly ordered.
"No I won't MARINETTE LISTEN TO ME THEY ARE GOING TO DO AWFUL THINGS TO YOU. THINGS THAT ARE CONSIDERED INHUMANE. Please, just listen to your momma and papa one more time?" A single tear shed from her right eye. She holds her daughter's hand and places the key in her palms. Then she gently close her daughter's hand into a fist.
"Now go, you've always been a good girl dear. The best daughter a family could ever ask for."
"I Won't…"
"SABINE GET MARINETTE AND GO!" Tom shouts across the house.
"Go dear, before they find you!" Sabine begged as she shoved the bluenette on the other side of the entrance.
"Take this key and go where your heart may take you. Please promise me you will." Tears fell from the eyes of the woman Marinette cares deeply for. She nods her head, her own tears forming and descending from her own cheeks. She turns around and proceeds to run off down the mysterious dark hallway. Sabine closes the door and places the shelf back to conceal the door.
"There you are Mrs. Dupain-Cheng…" the male officer says. Sabine looks directly at the officer with a death-like stare.
"I won't let you take my Daughter you monster." She says as the man tasers the woman until she falls to the floor losing consciousness.
"Did you secure the girl?" The female officer asked, hauling Tom over her right shoulder.
"Target not secured." He simply responded like some robot.
"Now what? Should we kill these two?" The female officer said.
"Negative. They could come in handy." He smirks a devious smile. The male officer carries Sabine's body over his shoulder as the two proceed to leave the premise.
"Where do you think she ran off to?" The female officer asked.
"No clue." The male responded.
Mari's POV
She ran and ran, farther and farther away from the bakery she once called home. She prayed for her parents' safety. Memories of the three flood the girls mind overwhelming her, but she refuses to stop even for a second. The government could be right on her tail. Tears were still flooding her face, but she didn't care. Finally, she took a breather to find herself in a bright room with only two doors. One was orange, the other green.
"Which way should I go?!" She asked full of dread.
"Go wherever your heart may take you~." Her mother's soothing reminder brushed through her mind like the wind in her hair. With a determined look, she proceeds to take the green door. It was where her heart wanted to go. She opens the door, only to find it locked. She looks into her pocket and removes the key her mother gave her. Marinette opens said door and it opens. A bright pink light erupts from the room. She enters the hallway, closing the door and continue to move forward. She kept running until she found herself in another room, this time with three doors. A heart, a diamond, and a club. Marinette pursues the heart door, uses the key and enters it. Again, a bright pink light erupts from it, but she still continues. This pattern continued for what felt like hours. But the most surprising thing about it was how she never got tired. Finally she entered a room that was different from the rest. This one had a huge double-door entrance with two symbols. One on each door. The symbol was a circle with five circles inside it, two on the top, on in the center, and two on the bottom. Sort of like the pattern on the five-side dice.
"Wh-where's the keyhole?!" She panicked. The doors had no key hole in them. The bluenette looked around the room to see if there was something she was missing. The room was rather spacious, and was red a couple of shades darker than the doors.
"Now what…?" She asked herself, trying to figure what she was missing here. She then proceeds to walk towards the doors. She touches the doors, feeling the smooth surface.
"It's ok Mari, just follow your heart…" She mutters as she closes her eyes to think of another plan. A rumbling noise erupts and the room wobbles a little.
"W-what the?" A light pink pillar slowly erupts from the floor. It halts its growth, reaching up to Marinette's chest. On the top had a handshape print on it.
"Do I put my hand on it?" She places her right hand on the pedestal. This time, the ceiling lights up in a brilliant while blinding light.
"Wow that is bright." She comments. Marinette opens her eyes to now find a spiral staircase leading to a door that was above the twin doors. She walks to the door and opens it with the key. Heavenly bright pink-red light escapes the room as the trapped air rushes towards her body, her hair going in a frenzy. Her clothes make rippling noises as they were also affected by the wind.
"I guess this is it…" She guesses as Marinette Dupain-Cheng enters the room. The bright light slowly fades the deeper she entered the room. What she saw was something, out of this world…
