A/N: Hey guys! I really am trying to update sooner, but I also have lots of school and I was really busy these past few weeks.. Just so you guys understand, I wrote all three chapters a long time ago and just put them up not long ago, so to y'all, it may seem like I updated not long ago, but for me it has definitely been a long time. Anyways, enjoy this chapter!

Marinette's POV

As I walked out of the school, I immediately got ambushed by Luka and Kagami. They're in the year above Chloe and I, so we don't see them often. Speaking of which, I had no idea where that girl was. She had excused herself to go to the restroom during class but never returned. I texted and called her but she never answered. I was so going to kill her when she showed up.

"Melody! What's wrong? I thought we'd get more of a reaction than that frown," Luka said rather questioningly.

"Chloe's not answering her phone. I haven't seen her since the first period."

"What do you mean, Mari-hime? That girl practically sticks to your side!"

"I know! I'm going to try her again."

I grabbed my phone from my pocket and as I did, I felt Tikki, my kwami touch my hand in a comforting manner. Even if Hawk- Gabriel was defeated I still kept her and Plagg on me wherever I go, just in case. The kwami of destruction was currently hiding in my hair. As I held the phone to my ear, I silently prayed that she was alright and not in trouble. I already knew she wasn't going to pick up, but a small part of me was still hopeful. What surprised me was when I heard her breathing on the other side of the phone.

"Chloe! What the heck were you thin-"

"Mari-bug? Can I come over to your place?" She sounded like she was crying.

"Chloe? Is everything okay?"

"I'll explain everything," she sobbed, "I promise."

I was very concerned so I said the only reasonable thing. "Of course, mind if Luka and Kagami come over as well?" I could hear her hesitating before she said, "Sure.."

I turned off the phone, looking at my two friends. I could clearly see they were concerned, but I highly doubt they were more so than me. Luka opened his mouth, no doubt to say something, but then closed it. Kagami and Luka just stared at me, like they were waiting for me to do something. "Well? What are you guys waiting for? Come on, let's go!" I shouted, kind of pissed off. If anything happens to my friends, I fall into some sort of rage and take it out on people.. Even if I don't mean to. My friends, well, they learned this a long time ago. Let's just say the last time something bad happened to Kagami, Luka and Chloe were not unscathed.

We all rushed back to my cozy apartment. After the Dupain-Chengs kicked me out, I crashed at Chloe's place for a while until I was able to buy my own house. (I'm not actually sure at what age you're allowed to own property in France, but let's just say it's at 16) It was a small apartment. I mean, I didn't need anything big. It had a kitchen, a living room, a bathroom, and two bedrooms. That was all I needed. For when my friends would come over, Luka sleeps on the sofa bed and Chloe and Kagami sleep in the other bedroom. Simple as that. As I unlocked the front door and entered my home, I saw Chloe already on the couch, waiting for us. I had given her, Luka and Kagami spare keys. Then, all hell broke loose.

"Chloe what's-" "Are you-" "We're so wor-"

"SHUT UP ALL OF YOU!" Chloe screamed. We all fell silent, waiting for her to continue. "My parents, they… Lila- Her lies reached them. They- They kicked me out." As she was saying this, I stood up, nothing on my face. I could feel the bloodthirstiness from the Pit begin to rise and I knew that my eyes would turn green soon. "I'll be back soon," was all I said. Kagami jumped up and began to tug on my arm, a way of holding me back. I just shrugged her off. I had to get out of here before I started unleashing my anger on them. Frick this stupid cover. I'm gonna kill that girl and enjoy every second. No, worse. I'm going to torture her as much as possible, watching her die, slowly. "Don't worry," I told my friends, "she won't bother anyone ever again." Now, my friends were alarmed. They had never seen this side of me before, as they don't know anything of my past. I suppose they thought I was joking, because they just chuckled, and let me go. Bad idea. I ran into the building's garage, started my car, and left. I was out for blood, and I was going to get it. As soon as I parked in front of the place where Lila lived, I threw the door open, stomping up the stairs. How do I know where she lives? I put a tracker on her. Long time ago. Just because I'm covering for a sweet, shy and innocent girl, doesn't mean I completely give up the ways of the past. Anyways, I knocked on her door and shouted "Room service!" I could hear shuffling on the other side and as the door opened, I saw not Lila but some man. An elderly man. "Who are you?" The man asked. "I'm a friend of Lila. Is she here? I need to talk to her." "Yes, of course, I'm her grandfather," the man- grandpa said. He led me to the living room, where I saw Lila on the couch, watching TV. Grandpa left us. "Lila!" I exclaimed in a forced cheerful tone. "Long time no see, huh?" "Marinette!" She replied in a saccharine voice. "So nice to see you! What are you doing here?" This was said in her normal voice now. I dropped the tone. "I've changed my mind about joining you. I want to do it." She clearly was not expecting that because her eyebrows raised so high that her fake bangs hid 'em.

"Alright! We can do this outside."

"Would you like to go to the park for this? It's much more of a pleasant place. I saw on my way here that it's not far."

"How did you get here by the way? I don't remember giving you my address."

"You know I was once the class president. I had everyone's address. You were not an exception."

She frowned suspiciously. "Alright, let's go."

/Time Skip/

Two hours later, I knocked on Lila's house door, smiling evilly. As soon as the door opened, I made a very convincing sad face, even producing a couple of tears. "Hello, Marinette! Where's Lila?" Grandpa asked. "I'm so sorry sir," I sobbed, "We were crossing the street into the park and a car was coming and I didn't see it, and she pushed me out of the way. We immediately went to the hospital and 2 hours later, they said they couldn't save her."

"No.. It can't be… No! Lila, my darli-" He choked, and then coughed, over and over. Then, he fell. I was actually scared now, he was having a heart attack. "Sir! No! What have I done!" I fumbled around with my phone, trying to call 9-1-1.

"9-1-1, what's your emergency?"

"This man is having a heart attack come quickly, please!"

"Alright Ma'am, stay calm, please. Help is on the way."

/Time Skip/

I was waiting anxiously in the hospital waiting room. The nurse came out of the room.

"He will live, do not worry. Do you have any relation to the man? We are unsure of who to call."

"Remember Lila? Lila Rossi? The one who got hit by a car? She was his granddaughter. I'm simply her friend." The nurse raised an eyebrow, but said nothing.

"Alright, do you know any other relative of David Rossi?"

"No, I do not, but, I will pay for the bills. Please do not tell him who did this, I would like to remain anonymous."

"If you're sure, please go to the receptionist and ask about David Rossi."

"I will, thank you."

The nurse simply nodded and left.

/Time Skip/

I was now back at my apartment. Chloe, Luka and Kagami had already left. I was exhausted. It does take one's energy when torturing another. I felt so terrible, however about poor Mr. Rossi. He did not deserve that as far as I'm concerned, and it pains me to have lied to him about how Lila actually died. It doesn't matter though, what's done is done. I can't go back now.

Then, I made a decision. I was going to tell Chloe, Luka and Kagami about my past, as well as the death of Rossi. I made myself a sandwich, not too hungry. Then I changed, brushed my teeth, washed my face and went to bed. I wondered what would happen tomorrow. I didn't have a good feeling about it. I pushed these thoughts to the back of my head and drifted off to sleep….

RING RING RING

I groaned as I stopped my alarm. 6:00 A.M, it read. I rubbed my eyes and sat up. I really did not want to go to school today. Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. It was only then did I realize… OH NO! (For all the girls reading this, you know exactly what I'm talking about) I threw off the covers and rushed to the bathroom. I was right. God, it's so early in the morning and I'm already in a bad mood. I changed out of my pajamas and into my usual sweats, Jagged Stone T-shirt, leather jacket and flats. I didn't eat anything, I wasn't that hungry. The school's pretty close to where I live so I didn't need to drive there. I walked into the school and saw Chloe. I began to walk over to where she was, but, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a flash of sausage-colored hair. 'It can't be,' I thought. It's impossible. I finally caught up with the sausage and tapped on her shoulder. The girl turned around but it was only a Lila lookalike. I apologized and started to walk back to Chloe. As I waved to her, she waved back, a little uncertain. "Hi! What's up!" I asked her.

Chloe hesitated before asking, "What you said last night, about how she wouldn't bother anyone anymore, were you being serious?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Then why is she standing in front of our classroom spouting garbage about you?"

My heart dropped. "What? What do you mean?"

"She's saying something about how you made an attempt on her life."

"No. That's impossible."

"I know right? Why would you, of all people, try to kill her? I mean, I would, but you, you are just incapable of that."

My brain didn't even register half of the words she said. I ran faster than I ever have in my entire life and skidded to stop in front of the classroom door. Lila was there, alive. She saw me and smiled evilly, not that anyone else saw it. "Hello Marinette."

I'm so sorry guys! You probably think I'm evil now. I mean, I am, I just had a poor, innocent man have a heart attack and left you guys on a cliffhanger. I promise it will get better… Soon…. Be patient. Anyways, please point out mistakes if there are any and comment!
