Chapter 44

Ring

William sat on a bench at school, looking over his phone.

"Hey William". William looked to Aurore and Marinette.

"Oh, hello girls", said William. "What seems to be the problem?".

"Nothing", answered Marinette. "Though, my parents got an order for your resort, any reason why?".

"Most likely it's for the Halloween Parties" answered William.

"Halloween Parties?" Asked Aurore.

"The first one is the Halloween Black, Orange and Purple Ball", answered William. "The second one is the Hallows Eve Ball. The Black, Orange and Purple Ball is for everyone one with an invite, the second one is purely for adults".

"Really?" Asked Marinette.

"And I was wondering", said William. "Would you do the honour of being my date for the Black, Orange and Purple ball?".

"Date? For a ball?". William then saw Alya, Lila and Alix standing there.

"I thought you'd never ask" said Lila.

"I wasn't asking you", said William. "I was asking Marinette. Besides, you're not on the guest list. Neither is short stack or tabloid".

"What do you mean 'not on the guest list'?", asked Lila. "I'm Gabriel's muse and-".

"Bet ya sucked his dick to get that job" said William Aurore laughed at this and Marinette blushed.

"Now, get lost" said William as he walked away.

"There has to be a way for us to get to that party", said Alya. "He owes us". Lila then smirked.

"I have an idea" said Lila.

Palacio De Oro.

William was in his room, watching T.V.

"Ugh, let's see what's on" said William as he turned the T.V on.

'This is Nadja Chamack reporting to you live from the Louvre museum. With Wendigo mania still in the city and with Halloween approaching. The curator, Alim Kubdel, has received new artefacts that seem to be related to The Wendigo. These including a book made out of leather and fur, a crystal that appears to be similar to a quartz and even a preserved heart. There were also discovered remains of what people believe to be several creatures from fiction and mythology. Could this mean that there's more to this world than we already know?'.

William then turned the T.V off.

"They found them", said Scul before smirking. "They actually found them".

"I think it's time we put that blackmail to good use" said William. They then heard the sound of crashing. William ran out of his room and into his father's office, where he saw Lila, Alix and Alya at one of his father's cabinets, Lila had a ring on her finger. William then closed the door.

"Give me that ring" he said in a cold voice.

"William", said Lila trying to act friendly. "I'm so glad you came. I thought Marinette had brainwashed you, but, I can see that you're-". Lila didn't finish as she was soon tackled to the ground and William was now crushing her throat.

"Give. Me. That. RING!" He shouted.

"Why. Should I?" Choked Lila.

"That's my mom's ring" growled William.

"Figured *choke*", choked Lila. "Why's she not *choke* here? Did she ru-*gags*".

"She's dead you gold digging whore!" Shouted William.

"Stop! You're hurting her!" Shouted Alix.

"No shit, Shortie" growled William. Alix and Alya then grabbed each of William's arms.

"What the hell do you want?" Asked William.

"Well", said William. "I heard that you dad was throwing a halloween Party".

"Quit playing dumb", said William. "You just want me to send you and your flock invites, don't ya?".

"And that's not all", said Lila. "An apology for certain, incidents that happened. Oh, and Adrian to be back with his dad".

"Or what?" Asked William. Lila smirked.

"This is quite a lovely ring", said Lila. "I wonder how much it would go for".

"You sell my late mother's fucking ring!", shouted William. "What I have planned for you, not even Ladybug and Chat Noir will save you or fix the damage I'm gonna do to that accident you call a face!".

"Oh, touched a nerve, did I?", asked Lila. "Then send the invites to me and the others".

"How do I know you'll keep your promise?", asked William. "I could hand you the invites and you could just sell my mom's ring".

"Just trust her" said Alya. William then smirked.

"You get all that?" Asked William. Lila, Alya and Alix looked confused.

"Every last bit, including them breaking in". Adrian then closed the office door.

"Adriboo", Lila said happily. "You came. Are you gonna-".

"Shut. Up", said Adrian holding up his phone. "I got it all on my phone, now, give William back her ring, and I won't show this to your families AND William's dad".

"Whatever spell William has you under", said Alya. "You have to break free from it, Adrian".

"I'm not brainwashed", said Adrian. "I'm actually happy. I've had more fun with William than I've had during ANY photo shoot with that liar". William saw this as an opportunity. He kicked Alix in the knee and bit Alya's hand, setting him free. He then tackled Lila to the ground and placed her in the choke hold.

"Give me the ring, or I'll snap your neck like a piece of pasta" growled William. An Akuma then slipped into the ring.

"You're in trouble now" Lila said to herself. She was then encased in a black-purple mist. William then released her. When she was finished, she looked like a more casual version of the queen of hearts.

"I am Her Majesty, Command Queen", said Lila. "And I command that you obe-". William then tackled Command Queen out of the window. The two then rolled down a roof until the fell off, with Command Queen landing first. He then started to repeatedly punch her in the face.

"Give! Me! My! Mom's! Ring!" Shouted William. Command Queen then kicked him off. She then held up her sceptre.

"I command you to obey me!" Shouted Lila as she fired a laser from it. William dodged it before gut punching her.

"Mind if we get in on this?". Command Queen was then punched by both Ladybug and Chat Noir.

"Glad to see that you finally decided to join the party", said William. "By the way, the Akuma's in the ring the bitch stole from my dad's office".

"Okay, LUCKY CHARM!" Shouted Ladybug throwing her yo-yo into the air, when it stopped spinning, what came down was a ladybug coloured-.

"A motorcycle exhaust pipe?" Wondered Ladybug.

"HAHAHAHAHA! You think THAT will defeat me?", asked Command Queen. "I will defeat you and-". She didn't get to finish as she was hit by a motorcycle, straight into a wall.

"Hey! Queenie!". Command Queen got up and saw Rebecca standing there.

"Oh look, if it isn't the stripper", said Command Queen. "What are you gonna do?".

"Stop you" answered Rebecca. Command Queen then laughed at this.

"And what's a slutty stripper gonna do to me?!" Asked Command Queen.

"How about a bunch?" Asked Rebecca as her co-workers appeared and surrounded Command Queen.

"Oh really?", asked Command Queen. "Now, you'll obe-". She then saw that her sceptre was gone.

"Looking for this?" Asked Janine holding up her sceptre. Rebecca and the others smirked, some cheeky, some toothy and some were cracking their knuckles.

"Mommy" squeaked Command Queen.

"Hey, Sausage Hair". Command Queen turned around and she was then punched in the face by Janine. She was then kicked by Courtney, bitch slapped by Daphne and pepper sprayed by Shanna. The others the gave her upper cuts, nut shots side kicks and many more until she fell to the floor and they started stomping on her.

"Eat my heel you Italian bitch!" Shouted Rebecca. Ladybug and Chat Noir just stood there, and Chat Noir somehow got popcorn.

"Want some?" Asked Chat Noir.

"Gladly" answered Ladybug before taking a handful.

"Oh Bitch! Bitch! Fucking get her!" Cheered William. Meanwhile Aurore was recording all of it. Rebecca and her friends eventually stopped and walked away.

"I believe you can handle this?" Ask Janine handing Ladybug the Sceptre. Ladybug then snapped it and the Akuma flew out.

"No more evil doing for you, little Akuma", said Ladybug before spinning her yo-yo. "Time to de-evilise". She then swung her yo-yo and it caught the Akuma.

"Gotcha", said Ladybug before opening the Yo-yo and releasing the now purified Akuma. "Bye-bye, little butterfly".

She then threw the Motorcycle exhaust into the air. "Miraculous! Ladybug!". Swarms of Ladybugs then fixed all the damages and returned everything to normal. Command Queen then turned back into Lila.

"Pound it!" Said the two superheroes as they fist pumped. William then walked up to Lila.

"Hey, Billy", said Lila as William kneeled down and grabbed her hand. "I, uh, don't suppose you consider sending those invites to *crack*-AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!". William snapped Lila's finger.

"I believe THIS belongs to me" said William. Lila's screams attracted Alya and Alix who rushed to her.

"What happened?" Asked Alya.

"My finger!", shouted Lila. "He broke my finger".

"And it'll be you neck if you pull a stunt like this again" said William.

"What the hell?", asked Alya. "We just wanted to go to the party, after all, you owe-". Alya didn't finish as Rebecca bitch slapped her and hard, sending her to the floor.

"Screw this" said Alix as she ran off. William smirked at this.

The next day.

Alix was walking around Paris when she felt something, off. She looked behind herself to see, nothing. She sighed and continued her walk. She then stopped again and looked again, only to see William inches away from her. She jumped a bit and fell on her ass.

"Hello, Allie" said William.

"W-wha do you want?" Asked Alix. She was somehow more terrified than usual. William was known to be intimidating, but not like this.

"I was hoping that you could do me a few, favours, if you would?" Answered William.

"Why would I do favours for you?" Alix furiously asked. She then started to walk away.

"So, does your father know?", asked William. "About you little trips to 'Scanty Sanctuary'?". Alix froze in her tracks and turned her head towards William.

"H-h-h-how do you know about that?" Alix asked in shock and embarrassment. William gave a malicious smile and showed the pictures on his phone.

"Never pictured you as one to wear a thong with a cotton tail", said William. "But, hey, I've had similar surprises before. Hmmm, I wonder how your father will react to this?". Alix tried to grab the phone, but William put it out of her reach.

"Ah-ah-ah, no touchy" said William.

"What do you want?" Asked Alix.

"Actually, it's in regards to your new exhibit coming" answered William.

"Why would you interested in that?" Asked Alix.

"You're really asking that question to the guy who has your freedom's future in your hands?", asked William. "So give me the Info, NOW!".

"Okay, okay, follow me", said Alix. "Don't bite my head off".

"Don't tempt me" muttered William as he followed Alix. They went to Alix's house and went up to her room. When they got, William saw that was filled with bunny merch along with sport stuff.

"You know", said William. "If you want to keep your bunny obsession a secret, you should really redecorate".

"Sh-shut up" said Alix as her face turned red. She then turned on her computer and showed William everything.

"This is ALL the info we have" said Alix. William looked at it and plugged the Ghost Coder in. After a few minutes, he pulled it out.

"Okay, you got what you wanted", said Alix. "Now, hand over those photos". William only smirked.

"Oh, I don't think I will" said William.

"What?!", shouted Alix. "Why I oughtta-". She was about to charge, when William held up his phone. Alix stopped almost immediately.

"That's better", said William. "From time to time, I might require a few favours that would, assistance, as we call it".

"What kind of assistance?" Asked Alix.

"Oh, nothing much", said William. "But, I wouldn't want to spoil the surprise".

"Is that all?" Asked Alix.

"Not quite", said Alix. "You, are going to stop picking on Marinette, there will be no more talk of me 'brainwashing' Adrian, you will leave anyone who I consider a friend alone, and you're gonna put this envelope through the door of where Alya lives". He then handed Alix a purple envelope.

"Are you crazy?", asked Alix. "I'm not your serva-".

"Fine then", said William. "I wonder how your father would react to see his daughter's ass clad in a thong and looking like something out of a porn parody. Maybe Max would use it as, private material, shall we say? Hahahahahahaaaaaa". Alix was now red in the face.

"Y-You're a monster" said Alix. William then low swept her and placed his foot on her chest.

"Nah, I ain't. But, to a canary, a cat is a monster", said William. "You're just used to being the cat. And if you tell anyone about this, ANYONE at all, you can kiss your social dignity AND status goodbye". William's eyes then slightly glowed red.

"I expect that envelope to be delivered by tonight" said William.

"What makes you think I'll deliver it?" Asked Alix.

"You willing to risk it?", asked William. "But, know you, you'd risk your own life to prove you're the best. But, even you aren't THAT stupid". He then took his foot off Alix and walked away.

"Remember", said William. "Deliver the envelope". He then left the house.

Later, Alix arrived at the apartment Alya lived in and slid the envelope in through the letter box. Alya's mom would be home from job hunting soon. She then left.

Palacio de Oro.

William looked at his phone, smiling.

"Looks like Alix was smart enough to know not to cross you" said Scul.

"That she does", said William before holding up the Ghost Coder. "Only question, who's next?".
