Ch.3 The Dream
BEEP BEEP BEEP!
The alarm screeches yet again, as the Blunette sprang herself out of bed for another day of school.
"Bye dear, have a great day at school!" Her Mom shouted.
"Bye Maman I love you! And I will!" Marinette responded, and out the door she went.
As she walked to her school, Marinette knew she was missing something, but didn't know what. It was eating her away, like an infection. Then she recalled what it was.
"The dream!" She shouted outside, she was at the entrance of the school by now. People were looking at her like as if she grew a second head.
"Opps…" She spoke quietly to herself.
"Mari!" and pretty soon, the young designer was in a bear hug with her blogger-friend.
"Alya!?" Mari yelled her name as the breathe in her lungs had escaped.
"So, how was your morning?" Alya inquired casually.
'Should I tell her about my dreams?'
"Actually Aly-"
"Hey Alya! Can you come here, I need some help with the video editing here!" A random boy yelled, holding his phone in the air and waving it like crazy.
"Alright alright, don't get your panties in a bunch alright Nino!" Alya responded.
"Hey. We'll talk later, alright?" She whispered to Marinette.
"A-alright…" Marinette responded. Class began and everything went as normal. The class bell rings, and Alya yanks Marinette away to one of the park's bench.
"Out with it!" She screamed.
"Ugh… listen Alya…" Marinette began.
"I had this dream…" Alya's eyes opened wide.
"What… happened in this dream?" Alya asked skeptically.
'What did happen?'
"…Girl, you've been awfully quite…" Alya was growing concern.
"I-I don't remember…" Mari muttered bluntly.
"You don't!" Alya looked just as shocked. Marinette gave a good look at her friend. She seemed awfully familiar too someone else she knew.
"UUUUUGGGHHHHH!" Marinette groaned in agitation and threw her hands in the air.
"What's wrong?!" The blogger asked in concern.
"It's just, ugh nevermind…" The upset designer started to walk away.
"I wonder if that dream was about…" Alya muttered to herself. Not even the Bluenette heard her, for she already took off.
School was over, and Marinette had to stay afterschool to wait for Alya, since they had to work on yet another project. Research on Glean, the powerful wizard of Egypt. Alya had to go help someone else with video editing problems.
"It'll only be 10 minutes at most, just head over to the library and start on research without me." And with that she took off leaving a lonely Marinette in the library researching all by herself.
"Welp, might as well get started."
She serfed the web, until she found a legit website. She jot down the site on a separate piece of paper, and read the information.
Glean, the most powerful wizard of Egypt, and possibly of the world. Legend says that he had imprisoned the Kwamis of the world.
"What are Kwamis?" Marinette questioned. She decided to keep reading.
Glean soon became power-driven and abused the powers of the Kwamis for his own doing. This caused great mayhem to the world.
"Wait, he attacked the world?"
But a hero unknown in the scriptures had defeated Glean, and freed the Kwamis from the orb.
A small smile spread across on the Bluentte's face.
It is implied to have been a band of warriors:
The Deer
The Butterfly
The Turtle
The Bee
The Fox
The Eagle
The Bear
The Snake
The Spider
The Peacock
The list went on until she stumbled upon two names.
The Black Cat
The Ladybug
Memories on the dream began to come back to her. She was so lost in her thoughts, that she failed to notice her best friend back, breathing heavily. She came back.
"Marinette I'm soo sorry, I had to stay behind, turns out it wasn't a minor issue. There was a freaken virus." Alya noticed Marinette didn't even hear her.
"Marinette?..."
No response.
"Girl?"
"Listen I'm sorry! Ok! Please I'll make it up to you. Uhhhhhh…" Alya was panicking.
"Ehhh oh sorry Alya, just…" Marinette tried to come up with an explanation as to why she never responded.
"Is it the dream again?"Alya asked suddenly.
'Damn Alya and her intuition'
"Yeah…" Marinette responded in a defeated tone.
"You sure you don't want to talk about it?" Alya gave a 'you know you can talk to me' tone.
"Well, it is rather confusing, heck even I don't know it myself…"
"Well at least you can get it out of your chest." The Interviewer piqued.
"If you say so…" Marinette responded.
In just 5 minutes, Marinette explains to Alya what her dream had. Including Tikki, and Chat's warning.
"There… You happy?" Marinette looked down to the floor.
Alya was beaming. She started to jump up and down. She got off her seat and dragged the confused girl with her. Turns out Alya was dragging Mari to the bathroom.
"A-Alya?! Why are we going to the bathroom?!" Mari demanded.
"Quite girl, your gonna have to wait and see for yourself." She responded, her grip tightening on the poor fashion designer's hand.
They got in the bathroom. Alya made sure to close the door, and dragged Marinette to the sink.
"What I'm about to show you Marinette, you must never tell anyone, not even your parents." Alya's tone was quite serious. Just a second ago she was bubbling with excitement. Marinette nodded immediately. She would protect her friend's secret no matter what. Even if it cost her own life.
"Good." Alya let go of her friend's hand and took a few paces back.
"Trixxy, tails up!" She chants. A sudden burst of orange light emits off of Alya's body. Marinette could only shield her eyes from the blinding light that had consumed the room. The light then faded.
"Alya?" Marinette asked as she slowly opened her eyes. She found Voplin standing on the exact same spot as her best friend Alya.
"…Well? What you think? Pretty cool huh!?" Aly-Volpin was jumping up and down like an excited child.
"Yo-bu-wha-wai-…HUH!" Marinette now had even more questions swirling in her mind.
