Chapter Text
Ladybug moved slowly, hands closed, trying her best to calm herself, her body shaking like a leaf, to calm this terror that envelopped her since too long.
She regretted to do not have said 'goodbye' to her parents when she had gone to the new akuma attack. She now, wasn't sure she could see them again.
The ring in the palm of her hand was hurting her, pressed into her flesh. Ladybug couldn't release her grip on it, every step she was taking did the opposite, she squeezed it more, and more...
The face of her partner didn't leave her mind, she couldn't cry, she couldn't give up, there was still a little bit of hope.
No ?
Ladybug wasn't stupid, the possibility she survive was ridiculously low. She was probably gonna die today.
They all had fallen...
She bit her lips, she didn't wanted to die, wasn't she too young for that ?
She was only seventeen, she didn't wanted to disappear so early.
Will her parents miss her ? Yes, without a doubt, Tom and Sabine would be devastated to learn the fallen heroine of Paris was their little girl, maybe they will even blame themselves for that.
Ladybug shook her head from right to left, trying to make those thoughts go away, she couldn't think about that, she had to think about the word she had to say.
She was the last hope of Paris, she was the last chance to defeat Papillon.
Her partner was also only a teenager and she never hesitate to join a fight, even when she was afraid, she never ever only though about giving up and she always made sure Ladybug never lose her self-esteem.
Her partner had faith in Ladybug.
She protected her, she reassured her, she made her laugh, she teased her, she made her annoyed, she joked with her, she made her happy...
But now, it was Ladybug's turn to protect her dear companion. So she was here in this building, walking toward the broken door, walking toward their enemy.
Her name was Marinette Dupain-Cheng, she was a student, in her last year of high-school, she wanted to be a designer.
She was Ladybug, the heroine of Paris since a year and a little bit, she was fighting akumas, she wanted to defeat Papillon.
Black eyes were on her when she get out of the building, a sinister smile appeared on the face of the demon.
She wanted to go back home alive.
