A splendid morning came as the bluenette woke up with a tiny little creature hugging her cheek.
The little one tried to wake up her owner and it did. Marinette Dupain-Cheng a daughter of a baker and a courageous superhero known as Ladybug.
Marinette has been living her life being a normal girl and a superhero ever since she bumped into the Guardian of the Miraculous.
She never expected that her life would change on the first day of school.
The bluenette yawned, stretching her arms like the choreography of Feel Special by Twice.
Opening her eyes and greeted her small friend.
"Good morning, Tikki." She greeted her and touched her little head.
Tikki the Ladybug Kwami who makes her transform Into Ladybug giggle and greet her owner back.
"Good morning, Marinette, you are lucky that you wake up earlier than the other days." Flying towards the side of the room.
Marinette immediately walked down to her bed. And took her things to take a bath first.
"My, lucky me." And go to the bathroom.
Tikki only waited for her to finish and look at the rising sun on her balcony.
She was lucky to have an owner like her. Because they just don't treat each other like the other miraculous holders, they treat each other more special like being friends or you could say sisters
Just sat there and waited for her, joyfully. After Marinette finished taking a dip she wore her usual clothes.
Later, she told her Kwami that it was time to go. Tikki flew inside her purse and Marinette took a quick glance at the mirror. And make a small pose, her hand do a gun pose, putting below her chin and grin.
She immediately told herself stupid and step out. Making her way to her parents preparing the foods.
Her father Tom first noticed her, "Good morning, my daughter."
Sabine noticed her daughter as she was about to sit down. "Good morning, Marinette you are rather early today, is something good gonna happen?"
She chuckled and greeted back, "Good morning, Dad." Look at her mother and sit across from her. "Mom, nope but I just feel energized."
Her parents find her cute and giggle a little.
"It's good to hear, darling." Sabine said and they started to eat.
While they were eating, Marinette slowly took a small bread and put it inside her purse for her little friend to have some food.
They were talking almost everything about their shops, Marinette's future, and everything until it was time for her to leave.
Marinette kissed both of her parents' cheeks and told them goodbye. Run fast as she could even though her house is literally near the school.
And if she runs super fast right now, she would have stomach cramps and if she has stomach cramps then she would go to the hospital and let's go back to the plot.
Anyways, she arrived and went inside her classroom.
She was quite surprised why everyone was circling in the middle. So she asked her best friend. Is she even her best friend?
"Alya, is something happening?" She questioned her best friend.
"Yep, she's back." Alya replied, causing her eyebrows to raise.
"Pardon but who?" She asked again and sat down.
"You know... Lila." She replied and sat next to her.
And that made Marinette freeze at her spot. She realizes a bad tempest is coming.
'Oh no, not her, way to make my mood change.' She thought as she rolled her eyes.
And then suddenly a bright light entered the room, making her eyes go big and she suddenly blush.
Her crush just arrived, Adrien Agreste. The kind, loving, obedient Adrien or a DENSE, dump, flirty cat.
𝐑𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭
𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞
𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐲
𝐀𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞.
Or Adrien the super famous model of Paris, son of the most dumb villain of Paris, loving, caring, kind, DENSE, FRIENDLY normal citizen or a flirtatious, dumb, outgoing, DENSE superhero aka Chat Noir.
He waved at his classmates and greeted them good morning but I don't know if it's gonna be good.
They greeted back and he went to his 'just a friend' and greeted her.
"Hello, Marinette." Adrien said and fist bumps his best dude, Nino.
"What's up man." Nino greeted and Alya smiled at him. She looked at her seatmate who is just blushing so hard right now who wants to kill herself and be buried 6 feet underground.
She was about to greet the blond back but their teacher came with a hurricane behind her.
She narrowed her eyes at the bitch- I mean at the storm and greeted the boy.
"Morning, Adrien." And look at the front.
Her friends were shocked when her expression changed so fast.
Adrien just nodded and looked at DjWifi. They shrug and they all sit down.
Ms. Bustier clapped her hands together making the others look at her.
"Settle down people, your classmate is back." She announced it and the others welcomed her.
"Hi guys, no time no see." Lila waved her hand and did a 'smile'.
She looked at the side and saw a furious dark-haired girl looking at her with an attitude face.
Lila smirked and knew that this would annoy the girl.
She went up to the blond boy and greeted him. "Hello, Adrien, it's nice to see you."
Adrien smiled at her kind greetings and greeted her back. "Nice to see you too, Lila."
She smiled more and glanced at the person above him, she saw her getting irritated making her want to do more.
But eventually Ms. Bustier stopped them. Making them look at her once again.
"Seriously Marinette, you're just jealous of Lila. Girl, I know you because you like Adrien and this is why you are hating her." Alya said with a disappointed tone looking at Marinette.
"Sure, I'm crazy about Adrien but that doesn't mean I hate her because of him, I hate her because she's lying to us. Don't you see she's pretending to be sick or whatever is going on in her body." Marinette replied to her, defending herself.
Alya groaned and stood up going to the others.
"Look Marinette, we all already know about this and you need to stop accusing Lila that she is lying, can't you see the poor girl is hurt and you just throw her a napkin." Alya said, looking at her with disbelief.
"Come on guys, it's not her fault really. She just wants to prove that Adrien belongs to her." Lila spoke with a 'worried tone'.
The others look at her like she is the nicest girl they ever met.
"That's the point, she thinks that mister model boy belongs to her." Alix said, face palming.
Nino quickly shakes his head and looks at the girl. "That's not cool, dude."
"Look, that's not what it looks like." She said and the others just looked at her with weird faces.
"Marinette, stop." Alya commented, helping Lila to stand up also Mylène.
Mylène helps Lila to go to the infirmary. She passed Marinette but before that she whispered to her.
"Looks like I won." And left.
Marinette was lost in words, she looked at her surroundings and people were staring at her.
And then she storms away going to the comfort room.
She cleaned her face with water and looked at the mirror, there she saw a standing bitch with her arms crossed.
Marinette looked at her blankly. "Got something to say, Lie-la?."
Lila widened her eyes and laughed, clapping her hands in delight and stopped looking at the girl.
She smirks, "Of course, I do and look. Your friends don't believe you." She laughs walking closer to her.
"They don't believe you anymore. What a pity, Marinette."
"And what? You expect me to cry just because my friends didn't believe me anymore. Is that what you want?" She asked her not to back down.
"I would like to see you cry though, it's a shame you didn't." She slowly caressed her hair and went to say small words.
"Don't worry, I'll make more lies until you suffer." She stood up and smiled innocently to her.
"And you're proud of that? You're proud, you're good at lying?" Marinette asked her again but she is still not backing down.
"Yeah, I mean I have to get used to what I'm good at." She smirked and Marinette muttered.
"Unbelievable." She looked away and took a step back but her pride hasn't backed down.
"Now that I have your friends, I will go to Adrien and soon he will be mine. He was always mine in the first place but some insolent girls are just annoying him." Lila said annoyingly at the last part and smirked.
Marinette was literally enraged right now but she kept her gesture and walked to the lying girl.
"Then why don't you claim him?" It was her time to be a bitch and she knew that.
"Ha?!" Lila said with a shocked and confused face.
Marinette walked to the mirror and fixed herself while talking.
"Adrien isn't a thing you can toy with, Lila but if you want him, why don't you make him yours." She looks at the girl in the mirror and smirks. "If he wants to."
Now this time it was Lila who was raging. Her head is literally smoking right now.
"You-" She said to her with anger but was cut.
"Don't look at me with that face of yours." Marinette turned to see her with a smirk on her face.
"It's Adrien's choice if he wants to be with a falsifier like you." And with that she walked out knowing she won inside the comfort room.
Lila is now in wrathful, she keeps telling herself that she will make the girl who just left with an attitude to die.
Marinette walked inside the room and eyes were on her. She just sat there not talking to anyone but just looking at her notes because she is annoyed at being put in the same class as the liar.
Adrien noticed this and was about to talk to her when suddenly Ms. Bustier walked in.
"Okay class we will start now but Lila will stay at the infirmary to have some rest." She told them.
And now they are gossiping about Marinette and Lila being inside the comfort room.
They keep whispering about it.
"Did Marinette hurt her again?"
"Probably, I mean I saw them going inside the comfort room."
"Poor Lila is having a hard time because of her."
They were backstabbing her, while she was there. Listening or is she even listening to them?
Alya looked at her, her eyes can't believe that the girl who is her best friend is now becoming someone like a bully.
She was very angry, disappointed and had roller coaster emotions to her. Her best friend has an attitude like that?
She sighs and listens to Ms. Bustier.
'I'm literally gonna not befriend her again.' That's what she thought.
Adrien looks at the back and looks at Nino wanting to know what happened earlier.
Nino mouthed that he would tell him after class.
After class, Ms. Bustier exited the room and everyone was putting their things inside their bags.
Alya decided to confront her. So she walked to her and said,
"Marinette, we are not friends anymore."
Causing the others to look at their way.
Marinette widened her eyes and replied to her.
"Wha-what did I do?"
"What?! What did you do?" Alya was massaging her temples and looking at her.
"You bullied Lila earlier, like in the cafeteria and inside the comfort room!" It was the first time Alya shouted at Marinette with hatred.
They were all gasping and muttering.
Marinette shook her head. "Oh really? Why would I even bully her?"
"Because she likes Adrien!" Now everyone was silent.
Adrien looks at them with shocked eyes.
Alya hardly sighs. "We all know you like him and you are jealous of her because everybody cares for her. How are you so blind like, Why would you bully someone who is literally in a poor state?"
Alya stopped and looked at the two boys.
"I literally feel bad for Adrien that someone liked him like you. You are going too far Marinette. Doesn't mean you like someone, you'll claim them."
She looked back at her and said, "We're not friends ANYMORE!"
She took her bag and left, Nino ran to her and everybody left including Chloe.
She just looked at Marinette, she didn't know what to do. Does she have to be the good guy like this because she knows that Lila was lying?
But no she chose to be like everyone else talking back at her like she always does but what happened today was different.
It wasn't the same thing that always happened.
Everyone left except the two of them.
Adrien stayed looking at her while Marinette just stood there.
He didn't know what to do but he knew that Lila was lying. So he slowly walks up to her.
"Marinette... You don't have to worry about Lila. Both of us know that she was lying."
He told her and awkwardly touched his nape. Marinette looked at him.
"And about what Alya said." He paused.
"Here it goes." Marinette said painfully in her thoughts.
He stood up straight and looked her in the eye.
He smiled very awkwardly.
"Marinette... I... I'm sorry-" He was cut.
"It's okay Adrien, I wasn't expecting for you to like me back. I already know that." She told him with a warm smile.
Adrien knew it was a fake smile but he just let it stray and smiled at her.
"Thank you, Marinette, you really are a good friend."
He said and left her.
The girl stood there staring at the shadow figure of herself.
She closed her eyes and breathed deeply.
"Marinette," Tikki said with a sad tone.
She opened her eyes and looked at her purse. She smiled.
"It's okay Tikki, you don't have to worry." Marinette told her Kwami and looked at the door.
She walked out of the room and went straight to the front.
When she gets there a storm awaits her. It was raining really hard and she didn't bring any umbrella.
She looked down at the stairs, and put her purse inside her bag because she didn't want her friend to be sick.
Just then memories flash to her mind, the memory she had first with Adrien. It was the time when he gave her his umbrella. The time where Marinette realized that she likes this boy. The time where Adrien made a new friend.
After that she walked home without a glimmer in her eyes. Not caring if she gets wet or not.
Sabine and Tom were astonished when they saw their daughter walking inside the bakery.
She was drenched and her face, well, was plainly blank.
"Oh, dear." Sabine quickly ran to find a towel and brought it to Marinette.
She brought the towel and walked towards her. "Marinette, what happened to you?"
"You were happy earlier and now your... You're gloomy." She looked at her daughter worriedly but Marinette just giggled.
"Storm happens, Mom." She looked at her mom's eyes and she could see that she was extremely worried.
"If that's so then please go change so you won't get sick." Sabine informed her and Marinette nodded.
She took the towel from her mom's hand and walked up the stairs.
Sabine looked at her husband, "Is she gonna be okay?"
"Don't worry, Marinette is a strong and big girl. She will be okay." Tom calmed his wife and hugged her.
Marinette slammed her door and opened her bag to take Tikki out. The Kwami flew up in the air watching her owner, who's going to take a shower.
"Marinette... Are you okay?" She asked calmly but with a sad tone.
"I'm fine, Tikki." She replied and went out.
Tikki knows that she isn't and if she isn't, there is a possibility she would get akumatized. So she is thinking of a solution on how to make her owner be happy again but will it work?
Afterwards, Marinette sat in her chair and looked at the pictures, the memories they made together, the feelings she shared with them, now... It's gone and so she is.
Marinette was about to slam her things but Tikki warned her there is an akumatized person. She quickly transformed and went even though it just stopped raining. Lucky
She jumped from roof to roof and saw Chat Noir fighting the villain. Ladybug landed beside him and Chat Noir noticed her.
"M'lady, what a wonderful thing for you to join us." He kisses her knuckles and expects her to push it away. Instead Ladybug just stared at him doing it.
His kitty eyes went kind of big and smirked. "It seems m'lady liked it."
But the truth is, she didn't. She didn't know what to do but just went with the flow.
"Geez, cat." Rolling her eyes and looking at the villain.
Both of them fight together to stop it, but Ladybug keeps getting hits. Chat Noir found it strange that his lady was not concentrating so he went to her and said.
"M'lady, are you okay?" He didn't get a response for a sec and Ladybug just sadly replied.
"Yeah, sorry." And with that she called Lucky Charm.
Now Chat Noir is debating asking her again but he just went to attack the villain. He is thinking why would she lie to him, I mean it's fine to lie because of their identities but this time he didn't like it.
He knew that something was up so they quickly defeated the villain.
After successfully defeating the akumatized person, Chat Noir walked up to her.
"Is something wrong, Ladybug?" Ladybug looked at him and looked away.
"It... It's nothing you don't have to worry about me." She replied, rubbing her arms.
Chat Noir notices this,"You're lying." Ladybug eyes widened. Of course he knows that she was lying, it was pretty oblivious for Pete's sake.
"What do you mean? I'm not ly-" She was cut by him shouting at her, angrily.
"YES YOU ARE! Stop lying." His eyes were now narrowed.
"Look Chat Noir, you really don't have to-" She was cut again.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT YOU? OF COURSE I DO, I'M YOUR PARTNER. WE DON'T KEEP THINGS HIDDEN EXCEPT FOR OUR IDENTITIES BUT WHY YOUR FEELINGS?!" He was out of control. And it was raining heavily.
They didn't care if they were not wet and silence just ate them.
Ladybug looked at him, hesitating to move. He fist his hand, he took a deep breath and let it out.
"This is why I hate secrets." He mumbled, he took his stick and extended it.
"Chat, wait!" Ladybug moved to where he was standing.
She looked at him, leaving. She sighs and throws her yoyo to the other side.
Chat Noir entered his room and de-transform. Plagg quickly jumped into his bed and spread his tiny arms out.
"Why does she have to be like this? What is her problem anyway?" He asked himself and ruffled his hair in frustration.
Adrien looks outside and a thunderstorm begins to strike. He decided to take a bath since he got wet in the rain.
Meanwhile Marinette de-transform and was still outside standing and looking down.
Tikki looked at her with worried eyes.
"Marinette, you should get inside, you will get sick if you don't come in." She told her but all Marinette could do was fisting her hands tightly and look at her.
Tears were forming on her face. Tikki quickly hugged her cheek as she kept saying nice words. Marinette is still shedding tears.
But before she went inside her parents shouted that they would eat out. They already know that Marinette wouldn't join them because she needs some time alone in her room.
She heard the door closed, she looked at her parents leaving the bakery.
And with that she walked inside her room and slammed everything that was on her desk. She ripped everything that was on the walls. The pictures, her designs, the boxes, she furiously stabbed her mirror with a pen causing it to shutter.
Tikki was very astonished when Marinette stabbed her mirror, she quickly went to her and she saw blood on her hands. The small glass flew to her, she saw small wounds on her body.
"Marinette, stop." Tikki tried to stop her but she didn't listen. Instead she pushed her mannequin to the side, which she designed weeks ago. Everything was ruined and she has the right to do it.
Tikki was now in tears as she looked at her owner getting hurt.
'Oh no, no, she might get akumatized.' She thought and flew in front of her.
"Marinette stop if you don't stop you will get akumatized and if you get akumatized, who will save Paris? Paris needs you as Ladybug and it is your duty to protect it." She told her.
Marinette looked at her Kwami with a blank face but had wounds on it.
"Protect? You say I have to protect Paris?" She laughs maniacally. Tikki looked at her, terrified of her owner, she held her hands.
"Really? Me? If I have to protect Paris then who would protect me?" Marinette looked at Tikki.
Tikki replied with a small tone. "Chat Noir-"
"Chat Noir really? Do you think he would protect me after we fight earlier? Do you think he would save me from misery? Tikki, I am so freaking tired of being both Marinette and Ladybug. I don't even know which one I am? Do you think it's easy for me to be a superhero?" She walked around slowly.
"Yes, I have fame and all, everyone adores me, they think I'm the perfect example of a person." She stopped walking and looked at her Kwami.
"Then does Marinette have to suffer? Do I have to be the Ladybug that everyone adores to be good at everything? Wow, I'm even Ladybug myself but can't solve my own FUCKING PROBLEMS!" She shouted and ruffled her wet hair in annoyance.
"I'M A SUPERHERO MYSELF BUT WHY? WHY CAN'T I JUST BE HAPPY FOR FUCKING ONCE! ALL I WANT IS TO BE IS TO LIVE GOOD BUT WHY? WHY DOES THAT MOTHERFUCKING BITCH HAVE TO RUIN MY FUCKING LIFE!!!" She shouted as she kicked her things in the way. Her shouts and thunderstorm were heard.
Tikki looked at her in horror. She knows she was suffering but she didn't know it was this deep.
"Now everyone thinks I'm lying, a bully, a disappointment. Well I am but I DIDN'T EVEN BULLY THAT BITCH, ALL I DID WAS TO PROTECT THEM AND DEFEND MYSELF. ARRRGGGHHH!!!" She keeps throwing her things everywhere.
On the other side, a villain has noticed a very furious feeling inside him. He grinned as he headed towards his lair.
"Nooroo, I can feel great anger. Yes, this is what I want." He said with a happy tone.
"Nooroo, Dark wings rise." Then the Kwami was eaten by the miraculous, causing the villain to transform.
"My, what a great wrath this is. Fly my evil akuma and evilized her." Hawkmoth let his akuma fly outside his window while it was raining.
Back to the girl, Marinette is still ruining her room and is still soaked.
"Marinette, please you have to stop, you will get akumatized." Tikki pleaded to her.
"I DON'T FREAKING CARE IF I GET AKUMATIZED OR NOT, I'M TIRED. I'M TIRED LIVING MY LIFE!!!" She stops and kneels down. She sobs painfully.
"No one is on my side now, my parents don't understand me, my friends don't." She kept talking and tears were nonstop falling.
"Alya didn't believe me, I'm supposed to be her best friend but why? Why did she believe that liar." She kept sobbing. And she saw a familiar charm.
It was a gift from someone she treasures but now anymore. She loved him dearly but he likes someone not knowing it was herself. She took the charm and threw it on her balcony.
It landed in the middle of the road, she kept putting her head on the ground and crying her heart out. Tikki looked at her with tears also falling nonstop. She didn't know what to do to her.
Marinette slowly mumbles. "Even Adrien and Chat Noir are gone."
She cries her heart out not knowing something flew in her room. Tikki noticed this and quickly shouted at her. "MARINETTE LOOK OUT!!!"
Marinette looked up and she saw the butterfly getting closer to her. She smiled, slowly took her earrings and whispered, "Finally."
Tikki expected for her to say sorry but instead she said something that made her bewildered. "MARINETTE NOOOOO!!!" And then she went back to where she was stuck for centuries.
Marinette throws her earrings at whatever she throws at it. She slowly lifted her finger to the butterfly.
The butterfly landed on her fingers and flapped its wings. A big thunder was heard, Marinette smiled and closed her eyes as darkness ate her and also getting akumatized.
On the other hand, Hawkmoth was shocked and amazed that his akuma didn't akumatized an object but a person. His shock turns into a grin.
When Marinette opened her eyes, a pinkish figure was on her face.
"Greetings my dear, this is Hawkmoth, your anger and frustration will turn into power. I will make you even more powerful in exchange you have to give me the Miraculous of Ladybug and Chat Noir. And for I, Hawkmoth the greatest villain of all time shall be named thee, Queen of Darkness."
His face forms a very evil smile but that won't last long.
She smirks, "No one bosses me, for I am my own and will be myself."
Hawkmoth widened his eyes, was shocked by the girls' words.
"I am your master, for you shall obey me and if you don't, I will take your powers."
He replied to her with an angry tone but all she did was grin more.
"I don't need someone above me for I am my own Queen, oh and the name's Lillith." And with that she broke contact with Hawkmoth.
Causing him to be shocked again, "Nooroo, what happened?" He de-transform and asked his Kwami.
"I don't know sire, maybe because of her emotions the power was consumed."
"WHAT?!" He shouted angrily at his Kwami.
Nooroo was terrified, "Th- this is the first time that happened so, I don't know." He replied, defending himself.
Gabriel sighs in frustration, his villain is now out of control. He looked at the window, it was raining heavily and there was a loud thunderstorm.
Marinette transforms into an akumatized person. Her gown is like a dark cloud flowing around her messy room, her eyes have no emotions, she has a black diamond crown on her head and tears of blood keep streaming down her face.
Now she is the person who she didn't expect to be. She is now the opposite or should I say, her true emotions, her true self, the real Marinette.
Marinette is gone and so is Ladybug, only Lillith is present.
Funny how the greatest superhero turns into the greatest villain.
