The next day in the mansion's backyard, Adrien was doing archery since he had competed once in the Olympic Games last year which was in Paris for archery. He pulled the arrow back and managed to hit the inner circle.
"Leftover cake in the fridge is delicious, you know, and it doesn't go to waste," Felix said, eating a slice of cake.
"Heh, it's like you waited so long for freedom without having your ghost father forbid you from everything" Adrien chuckled before aiming at another target.
"It was worth it," Felix said.
Adrien aimed the target in a good shot, "And thanks for surprising me yesterday for my birthday. Best day of my life"
"You're welcome" Felix replied.
"Gotta admit how you guys celebrate differently than in my old traditional life from the 19th century" Adrien aimed at another one.
"Traditions can change over time, cuz. You never thought of that in your time?" Felix asked.
"Barely," Adrien said.
"I know this feels like in the past but how did you find out Lila was a liar in your time?" Felix said.
"Simple, she lied to everyone that Paw Noir saved her in the Seine River but technically I saved her from a thief. It was almost as if she was a pathological liar. Especially when she lied about being friends with my mother I checked my mother's journal and not a single name of Lila was ever mentioned. As it worsened, I became extremely irritated at how she was not being honest with herself. Until she later manipulated my father about being friends with some other fashion designers" Adrien explained his story of how he found out she was a liar.
"That's quite some bad history you two got," Felix said.
"Yup. But getting on her bad side made me realize how much of a monster she was when she locked me in a coffin. Instead of respecting my opinions, she tried to make me suffer" Adrien aimed at the target again.
"And now she burns in hell," Felix said.
"Yup. She made me suffer like hell, now it's her turn to feel it. And of course, avenging my father" Adrien said.
"Serves her right," Felix said.
Adrien retrieves the arrows since he's out of targets, "If I didn't become a vampire, you would have become Lila's werewolf"
"Yeah, her lapdog" Felix joked.
"But you do love dogs than cats," Adrien said.
"Of course I do. My mother knew I needed a friend. A dog friend who won't judge me. Especially when my father died, I adopted Argos" Felix said before handing him a bottle of blood, "And of course, a black cat too that saved my ass"
"Yep. I might adopt a cat to keep him company" Adrien opens the bottle to drink.
But Felix stopped him before he took a sip, "Technically, you're the cat and bat whisperer. They always hear you talk like Dr. Dolittle"
"Right of course" Adrien replied and took a sip of his drink before feeling refreshed with life source in his veins, "I still need to stop hunting for living blood, Felix. I made a promise to my bride and I cannot upset her more with my vampire nature"
"I wish I could buy a blood bank," Felix said.
"Yes, well, I have an ancient relic to turn water into blood. I just need something like a dummy rather than a living person to bite on" Adrien said.
"We can try it on a doll" Felix suggested.
"It's not easy biting on a neck that doesn't taste like flesh nor can I find a vein area," Adrien said.
"We'll figure something. But it's best if you use than ancient relic toy thing for now rather than pissing off your princess. Especially with Ladybug that could kick your ass again" Felix said.
"You're right" Adrien nods.
"Anyways, let's get inside and get you to eat something. Like an apple for example to satisfy your biting" Felix heads inside.
"Very well" Adrien follows inside.
Felix tossed a red apple to him and Adrien sunk his fangs into it, draining it dry out of juice.
"How are you able to do that?" Felix asked.
"Like drinking blood but instead it's the juices," Adrien said.
"You're so weird sometimes if you ever became a fruit bat," Felix said before grabbing a banana.
"Maybe next time I stick to berries and fruits but I need blood to survive the same way humans need water to live," Adrien said.
"If you can" Felix smirked.
"Of course I can. I just don't get dehydrated that often" Adrien said before heading upstairs to their bedroom.
He goes to his bed and lays down to video chat with Marinette.
"Hey Aiden," Marinette said.
"Hey, princess. How was the hang out with the ladies? Makeover again?" Adrien guessed.
"Yes, makeup and boy talk," Marinette said.
"Really? Was I charming in your great stories?" Adrien smirked.
"Just as the Prince Charming you are," Marinette said.
"And how is my lovely princess doing today with that beautiful smile of hers?" Adrien flirted.
"Fantastic" Marinette replied.
"Or Fang-tastic like I'd say," Adrien said.
"Always the puns I see. And I'm guessing the biting is still like an addiction again" Marinette guessed.
"Nearly but I don't bite like a savage animal to kill. I bite to be a legend" Adrien chuckled.
"Like Dracula," Marinette said.
"But you were right that biting a squeaky chew toy reduces my stress, ridiculously," Adrien said.
"And I thought mostly dogs love to chew" Marinette joked.
"Ha ha" Adrien laughed sarcastically.
"But it does help. Unless you refer to bite my delicious neck for that" Marinette teased.
"If I wanted to, Princess" Adrien said.
"You're too funny" Marinette giggled.
"Thanks. Just remember, it's not easy to live without blood. I don't control my hunger, my hunger controls me" Adrien said.
"Yeah, I know. I'm just worried if it becomes an addiction for you" Marinette said.
"I can handle it" Adrien assured her.
"I hope so," Marinette said.
"But I do miss being petted and cuddled you know. Cats are very needy at times" Adrien said.
"Maybe next time we meet, Adrien" Marinette suggested.
"That is if you can see me in the shadows, my bride. Count Noir always lurks in the shadows" Adrien chuckled.
"Heh, see you soon, love you," Marinette said before hanging up.

Later at night, Claw Noir was lurking in the shadows just as he said he would like a cat. It's always his thing to be sneaky in places. He ran on the rooftops swiftly.
Pigeons on the rooftop annoyed him a lot, "Shoo! Shoo!" But he sneezed from their feathers, "Get out of here!" He scared them off and all flew away as he resumed his patrol.
"You know cats eat birds, right?" Ladybug said behind him.
"And birds are too small for me to eat," Claw Noir said.
"Yes they are, Kitty" Ladybug replied.
"Meow, stalking me? Very unladylike" Claw Noir smirked.
"When on patrol, ladies first" Ladybug chuckled.
"And men last," Claw Noir said.
"Correction, you're a kitty cat," Ladybug said.
"A vampire cat" Claw Noir corrected her.
"Ooh, what are you gonna do? Kill me with your adorable side with your soft paws?" Ladybug teased him.
"Maybe, but can you resist these?" He made his pupils bigger.
"Oh, shit! No! Don't you dare!" Ladybug knew that it was not easy to look away from it.
But he still made the cute innocent eyes at her, purring so loud by pawing his hands to look even more adorable.
"My cute kitty" Ladybug gave in, rubbing his cheek.
Claw Noir closed his eyes while purring, "Works every time as my harmless cute weapon"
"No one can resist them," Ladybug said.
"Last time I did that on female bandits, they fainted so hard out of my overload cuteness" Claw Noir chuckled.
"That's your secret weapon then" Ladybug laughed.
"And my sexiness" Claw Noir added.
"Yes, well, don't make it a sexual thing whenever you show off like a Catwoman style as well as posing too much" Ladybug rolled her eyes.
"Okay, Bugaboo" Claw Noir replied.
"And getting pissed off when bad boys call you a hooker" Ladybug snickered.
"Maybe I should alter my costume?" Claw Noir wondered.
"No, I like this one. You just gotta show them how wrong they are without letting them drill your bad side" Ladybug said.
"Come on. If they get on my bad side, they know how scary I get until it haunts their nightmares. Like I said, black cats are bad luck" Claw Noir said.
"While ladybugs are good luck," Ladybug said.
Claw Noir's vampire sonar like a bat made him hear a robbery at the jewelry store, "I hear robbery and I also smell justice"
"Let's go, Kitty" Ladybug ran with him.
"Meow, another mouse to kick ass" Claw Noir ran on all fours.
"Be a good kitty and no biting necks or no kitty kisses for you" Ladybug warned him.
"You got it" He nodded.
They soon arrived at the jewelry store and saw thieves carrying golden jewelry.
"Hello, boys. Fancy shopping I see. Got anything for me and my lady?" Claw Noir taunted them.
"Yes. A free suicidal death" They laughed.
"Come get some!" Ladybug took her yoyo out.
Both heroes kick down two of them before Claw Noir knocks one and throws him to the street while Ladybug knocks one thief in the stomach and kicks another in the back to let Claw strike him down with his wrist. Then he knocks down three with punches to the head and a sweep kick.
"Too easy!" Ladybug knocks two down.
Then Claw Noir bicycle flips Ladybug to kick two down.
The one left standing was too speechless and didn't want to get his ass kicked this time, "Okay! Okay! Enough! I get the message of kicking my ass!"
"Good, now I'd suggest you surrender," Ladybug said.
"Or face an angry cat that will shove his claws right up your ass" Claw Noir unsheathed his claws.
"Yikes!" The remaining thief gasped.
"Just what I thought" Claw Noir sneered.
"All right! All right! Just don't kill my face!" The thug surrendered, "What the hell is your problem?!"
"Just bringing you to justice," Ladybug said.
"And punishment for your ass" Claw Noir chuckled.
"Please stop! I give up! Just please spare my ass!" The thug begged.
"Good, I hear the sirens," Claw Noir said.
Ladybug and Claw Noir continued to fight crime together in Paris since the permanent death of Lila Rossi and her terror ending once and for all. From being paws to claws and fangs, Noir's journey has come a long way.
