Chapter 12

Chloe angrily watches Adrien and Marinette hug each other outside the classroom. The couple walks into the classroom and Chloe stomps her foot. "This can't be happening." Chloe walks into the classroom and sits down in her seat. She watches the two throughout the day. 'Why would he want to be with that trash when he can be with me? There's no way I'm losing Adrien to that sad excuse of a woman. I'll show him how pathetic she really is…'

Chloe sashays up to Adrien and wraps her arms around his neck in front of Marinette. The other students are excited to leave school and bolt; not interested enough to stick around. "Adrikiens!" Adrien shifts uncomfortably and gently pulls her arms off him. "Hey Chloe." Marinette fumes silently in the background.

"What're you looking at Marinette? Can't you see we're busy? Go on to that pathetic little bakery that you live at. I don't know why anyone in their right mind would choose to live there, let alone eat there. Garbage person deserves a garbage place I guess." Marinette fists her hand so hard her nails draw blood and steps up into Chloe's space. With his heightened senses, Adrien smells her blood and freaks out on the inside. He steps in between them, "Ladies, can't we all get along? Chloe, I know for a fact that you send someone to the bakery every day to get…" Marinette steps in front of Chloe again, with her back pressed up against Adrien, leaving Adrien disoriented and slightly arouse. He subconsciously pushes his body into her and drowns in her scent at the junction of her shoulder and neck. Marinette pokes Chloe's shoulder roughly with her slightly bloodied hand. "I'm TIRED of your crap Chloe, grow up and move on. Adrien is with me in all ASPECTS your little mind can comprehend. I don't know why you're such an evil person, or why you're like this but I'm not taking your crap anymore."

Chloe narrows her eyes, "You'll regret talking to me like that Marinette Dupain-Cheng!" Chloe grabs Marinette's pigtail and yanks hard on it.

Alya pops her head back in the classroom," Come on slowpokes…OH BITCH NO YOU DON'T!" Alya reacts first and charges Chloe to the ground and causes Chloe to yank out Marinette's pigtail. Adrien tries to hide his boner with the help of Marinette's behind. Marinette stands smugly, for several reasons, but feels a little sorry for her. "Alright Alya…I think she's had enough…" Alya accidently knocks Chloe in the nose with her elbow, while getting up, and busts her nose.

"Oh shit…sorry not sorry Chloe…"

"You'll regret this Marinette!", Chloe screeches at the top of her lungs. She stomps out of the room.

"Guys..." Marinette pauses and corrects herself, "Alya, I appreciate you standing up for me but I can handle myself. This got a little out of hand…" She shoots a worried look at Adrien and sweat drops.

She whispers, "Adrien snap out of it, we aren't alone…thanks for standing up for me by the way."

Adrien snaps out of his daze and scratches the back of his head. "I can't help it…your body is like a drug I can't get enough of. Maybe I can try calling Chloe and calm her down?"

"I think I should be the one calming things down?" She looks down at his boner and he blushes. "Perhaps."

"In all seriousness, we should give her some space to calm down, she won't even talk to us at this point."

Alya clears her throat, "You guys need me to leave and give you the room to yourselves? Or I can stay here…either way…" Alya comically slides her phone out slowly.

The couple's eyes dilate. "No were good."

"Yeah, we can take this back to the bakery, no need to leave." Marinette elbows Adrien in the ribs. "Oof." Marinette hugs Alya.

"Really, thanks for looking out for me though. I'll see you later?"

"You know that's right girl, talk to you later." Alya heads off and Adrien wiggles his eyebrows at Marinette. She rolls her eyes, "Self-control my kitty…" She scratches under his chin and he purrs. He picks her up wedding style and carries her out of the room. "Adrien! Put me down!"

"But if I carry you we'll get to your place faster…"

"Or your place?" Adrien stops walking and his face grows dark.

"I feel like my place is with you honestly. My house hasn't felt like a home since my mother was with us." She rubs the back of his head.

"I'm sorry Adrien, I didn't mean to upset you, I was trying to be cheeky…"

He smiles, "No need to apologize, I can show you the place so you can get a real sense of what it's like there?"

"You're on, however I think we need to check on Chloe as our alter egos and make sure she's doing alright."

"Great thinking, as always." They head down a deserted area and transform. They head to Chloe's place together. They keep their distance and sit at a safe distance from her place so they aren't discovered. Hours go by and Ladybug starts to nod off against Chats shoulder. He rubs the back of her head and they jolt at the sound of breaking glass. They exchange worried glances and look for any commotion.

"Ladybug…" A manic laughter echoes and reflects off the surrounding buildings. They see a silhouette against the moonlight and they spring into a fighting stance.

"Chloe? Let's talk about this…"

"My name isn't Chloe, it's Controller! Adrien will be mine and Marinette will pay! Unfortunately, I can't get what I want unless I get your Miraculous, so hand them over!" She jumps down from the building and lands in front of the duo. "You'll do what I want under my devotion spell!" She opens her hand and a strange purple color shoots out of her hand, like someone casting a spell. They easily dodge the blast and it hits the building behind them. "Ugh this is taking too much time, I want Marinette to pay!" She takes off to the bakery.

"Well some things never change…" They chase after her and find themselves in front of the bakery. Worried for her family's safety she rushes through the front door. "You guys need to get safe and take cover. She's on a mission to get m…your daughter!"

"Ladybug look out!"

"Huh?" She turns around too late and gets slammed into the floor.

"Where did you hide her Ladybug!?" Chloe pins Ladybug down. "If you won't tell me then, I'll make you show me!" Chat finishes getting her parents to safety and flings his weapon to knock her off Ladybug. She cackles and Ladybug lays motionless.

"What did you do to her?" Several people, that Controller got a hold of on the way to the bakery, burst through the doors and grab Chat's arms effectively knocking his weapon out of his hand.

"Oh, she's under my spell now, she can't return to herself until she takes me to Marinette. What?" Ladybug sits up, eyes glazed over, grabs Controller's hand and her eyes return to normal.

"Why didn't my spell work?" Hawk moth appears in her mind,

"Quickly, take her miraculous." Ladybug shakes her head to clear the cobwebs.

"What's happening?" Chat notices a familiar bracelet.

"Ladybug the akuma has to be in her bracelet. It was given to her by Adrien when they were young."

"Gotcha Chat." Ladybug grabs the bracelet with her free hand and puts it under her foot and tugs with her hand effectively breaking the bracelet. The akuma flies out and Ladybug catches it in her yoyo.

"Bye bye little butterfly! Miraculous ladybug!" She tosses her yoyo into the air and returns any damage that took place during the quick battle. "What where am I?" Chat helps her up.

"Your emotions got the better of you this time and hawkmoth got to you. You went against your hero." He picks up her bracelet and puts it around her wrist. "Keep that safe, whoever gave this to you must think of you as a great friend." He points out a friend's charm. She frowns, "Sadly it appears I have stronger feelings for him than he does for me…" He pats her back.

"You have to respect his feelings too though. You wouldn't want to lose him as a friend would you, because you keep pushing your feelings onto him that he can't return?"

"Chat you're oddly insightful today…it creeps me out. I'll try to just be friends for Ladybug, I don't want to get akumatized and end up hurting her!" She hugs Ladybug and Ladybug's eyes narrow to an annoying line.


Hawk moth stands in his lair with fingers on his chin. "Why was Ladybug immune to her spell?"
