Chapter Text
Zaierre’s Pov
" Why are you tryna pick a fight with me? Why can't you just leave me alone?! UGH! THIS IS ALREADY HARD ENOUGH! Hey wait I was right, you are angry after all! SIT BOYYYY! Sit boy sit boy sit boy-" I said along with the video that played on my laptop in front of me.
I smiled, shaking my head at the idiotic half dog demon that always managed to get himself sat to hell by Kagome. I moved my hand across my laptop to move the mouse so that I could click on the next episode, then I went back to combing through my hair, glancing at the full body mirror that I had in front of me, before looking back down to my laptop.
" Mh mmh mhhh mhhhh mmh mmh-" I hummed along to the opening song of the next episode as I swayed back and forth, applying the heat protectant to the section of my hair that I had just combed out.
My eyes were glued to the screen as I ran the product through my hair when my eyes became somewhat blurry as I began to space out and go into my own head.
" I really don't understand their thought process. I've been homeschooled my whole life, now all of the sudden they want to make me start going to public school? They claim the bakery is getting too busy for them to continue schooling me themselves this year, but why can't they just hire someone to do it? I'm so irritated. I don't want to go to school with other people. I just wanna stay in the comfort of my own room like I've been doing." My thoughts were interrupted with a light knock at my door. It took me a few seconds to snap out of my daydream before I called out to whoever it was on the other side of my door.
" Who is it? "
The doorknob twisted and the door was pushed open to see the dark blue tresses of my mothers hair poke in before she stepped in fully. " It's pretty late sweetheart, and I want you to be well rested for your first day of school." She told me, her soft voice not comforting me whatsoever.
" I know mom, but I have to finish my hair or I'm gonna have half straight have puffy hair. You know my hair takes a long time to get done." I told her, parting the section into a smaller piece before picking up the straightening iron and passing it along my hair once.
I ran the comb over that piece, satisfied that it straightened nicely, before I repeated with the next piece and continued with at that until I was done with the whole section.
" I know that it takes a while, which is why I suggested earlier that you should start on it early so that you wouldn't be up at 2 o'clock in the morning trying rush to get it done darling." She reprimanded.
I sighed, stopping myself from rolling my eyes. " Well I sincerely apologize for trying to be useful and help out in the bakery. I'll think twice before I do it again mother." I told her with a forced smile.
A deep frown formed on my mothers face as she walked more into my room, over to my direction. Her face held a stern expression even though I could see the sadness peak through. " Zaierre, honey I know that sending you to public school isn't something that you want, but right now it's the only option we have. I promise we wouldn't have come to this decision if we didn't have to." She said to me, moving a piece of hair that escaped the hair tie behind my ear.
I didn't respond to her, I just continued to do my hair.
" Please honey, just give it a chance. Think about all the great things that could come from going to school. You can meet new people, make new friends, and make some great experiences." She tried to reason.
" Sure mom." I muttered out.
I really didn't even want to talk about it anymore. The very thought of having to interact with people was making my heart pound quicker, and not in the good way. I could feel the anxiety just rolling off of me in waves and I honestly wanted to go crawl in a hole somewhere.
" I- " My mother wanted to say something else to me, I could tell, but it seems like she's stumped. She doesn't know what to say.
I remained quiet as my mother let out a small sigh and begin to retreat from me and back over to my door. She placed her hand on the door and looked back at me, sadness in her eyes as she spoke once more. " Get to sleep soon sweetie. I'll see you in the morning." She said to me.
" Yeah, sure mom." I responded back, my voice emotionless.
She walked out of my room, closing the door behind her with a soft click.
And I allowed myself to let out a long sigh, my shoulders hunched over in relief at being done with the tense conversation. I look at the time that was displayed in the corner of my laptop screen and sighed.
2:33am
Time was moving by so quickly. This whole day had flown by so quick and I wish it wouldn't have.
I had one more section of my hair to straighten before I would be done with the straightening part, then I'm going to have to wrap it up and pin it. "Ughhhh I'm so tired..." I complained, rubbing the crook out of my neck before I continued on with my hair.
It hadn't taken that much longer to finish the rest of my hair and getting it wrapped up, but after I did, I wrapped the silk scarf around my hair nice and tight before I put on a silk bonnet to make sure I had extra protection for my hair.
" Alright I'm tired for real." I said to myself yawning as I climbed into my bed, my eyes beginning to close on their own as I crawled under my covers, falling asleep almost instantly.
✯¸.•'*¨'*•✿ ✿•*'¨*'•.¸✯
Mornings... I hate mornings with every fiber of my being. It makes no sense that school students have to mandatorily get up five days a week at the ass crack of dawn to go to a literal hell hole where almost all of the things we learn in school won't be applied in the real world.
I sighed, throwing the covers off of my body and practically throwing my alarm clock across the room to shut it up.
" Zaierre are you-" " I'm already up." I said cutting my mother off, trudging over to my closet.
I pulled the door open and stepped inside. Looking around, my eyes immediately fell on some baggy grey sweatpants and it's matching long sleeve sweatshirt. I grabbed a plain white tank top, some plain white sneakers and I backed out of my closet, closing the door behind me.
" What time is it?" I muttered to myself, making my way over to my phone that rested on my beside table, connected to its charger.
I pressed the home button and my screen lit up, my Inuyasha wallpaper greeting me back along with the date and the time.
" 6:24am." I said to myself. " I got about 20 minutes." I muttered as I put my phone back down and turned to make my way to the bathroom.
I took a quick shower, keeping my shower cap on tight as I bathed and rinsed off. Then I went to brush my teeth and put on my clothes and shoes.
" Zaierre! Hurry up! I need to use the bathroom!" I heard my sister say while she banged on the door.
" Just give me a minute. I'm almost done." I replied to her as I took the shower cap off of my head.
" Yeah, well still hurry up." She repeated.
" I said give me a second ." I told her again.
I could her her scoff in annoyance as the sound of her stomps could be heard walking away from the bathroom.
I patted my hair to make sure it didn't get wet at all, and it didn't which I was grateful for, or last night would have been all for nothing. I took the pins out of my hair and shook it out of the wrap.
Piece by piece my hair begin to tumble down my back, so I just took a wide tooth comb and combed through it a little, putting a part down the middle and combed each side down.
"Alright...... I'm ready." I said to myself in the mirror, taking a deep breath. " You got this. You can do this. Just go to school, do your work and come home. It's that simple." I said to myself for encouragement.
I took one more deep breath and nodded before turning to put my dirty clothes into the hamper before I opened the door and made my way out of the bathroom.
" Nettie the bathrooms all yours." I called out, knowing Marinette would hear me.
In point five seconds, Marinette was down the stairs, slamming the bathroom door behind her.
I walked into my room to get my black backpack that hung on my door and my off the shoulder white pouch before I went over to get my phone and charger, sticking them inside of my pouch.
" You got this." I repeated once more to myself before turning and walking over to my door and out of my room, closing my door behind me.
I walked down the short hallway and made my way over to the stairs, making my way down when the sweet aroma of the pastries entered my nose, making me slightly hungry.
My arrival to the kitchen wasn't a quiet one because as soon as I stepped foot in, my mom and dad turned to me with smiles on their face. I could tell they were weary of my mood, trying to gauge if I was upset with them or not.
" Good morning sweetheart. How are you this morning?" My dad was the first one to speak up.
" I'm fine dad. What's for breakfast?" I asked him as I went over to the table and sat down.
" Whatever you want sweetie, you know that." He told me.
I pouted my lips up at him. He couldn't help but laugh as he turned around to the counter and pulled out a plate with two chocolate croissants on it.
I smiled, wiggling in my seat happily as he sat the plate down in front of me, kissing me on the top of my head, before my mother came over with a glass of milk for me as well.
" Thanks mom." I said to her with a smile.
" It's no problem sweetie." She said as she caressed the side of my face before booping the tip of my nose with a smile back to me.
My attention was then turned down to the croissants that rested on my plate. I picked one up and took a bite, sighing in content as the soft chocolate bread that took over my tastebuds with its chocolaty goodness.
" Oh Marinette, you've finally decided to join us hmm?" Mom said out loud as Marinette came barreling down the stairs like a bat out of hell.
" Yeah cause Zaierre wanted to take forever in the bathroom." She said as she muttered the last part which I still heard.
I rolled my eyes at her words." Don't blame me. I spent probably 15 minutes in the bathroom. You're the one who wanted to wake up late. Blame yourself." I told her, taking another bite of my croissant.
" Yeah yeah whatever. We need to be on our way or we're gonna be late for school." Nettie said as she came over and picked up the second croissant that laid on my plate.
My eyes widen as I looked at my croissant then her. I was about to snatch it out of her hand but before I could, she took a huge bite out of it and took off running.
" See you later mom and dad!" She yelled behind her just as I was about to snatch her up, but she pushed the door open and ran out before I could.
" She's so annoying." I said grumbling.
" Here honey, don't forget these." My dad said as he came and offered me a cream colored box.
I took a peak inside of the box and saw an arrayment of mint green macaroons. " What are these for?" I asked him.
" They're for your class. Nothing better than being welcomed like bringing food for your class." He said to me. " Now hurry along and catch up to Marinette. You know she's quick on her feet." He told me, ushering me along.
My heart started to pound and it was like I was hit with the realization all over again. I have to go to school. Public school. With other people. My anxiety was starting to spike once again and just like that, my whole mood was not very good to say the least.
" Baby don't worry. You're gonna be fine. Once you get past this first day, I promise you're gonna see that's it's not as bad as you think it is." My mom said to me with a kiss on my forehead.
I couldn't even respond. I just turned around, clutching the box in my hand before turning and walking out of the bakery.
I looked around to see if Nettie was still around and she was. Standing there waiting at the crosswalk with an annoyed look on her face.
" Took you long enough. Did you suddenly forget that we have school today or something ?" She said to me.
" I almost did." I muttered to myself.
" Just come on before we really be late." She said to me, taking the box of macaroons out of my hand and turned around to walk to the crosswalk and waited for the sign to change.
I started to fidget. The more I thought about arriving at the school, the more nervous I got. I will say it did bring me some comfort that my parents could talk to the principal and request that my schedule be the same as my sister's, so at least I won't be completely alone.
My musings were cut short when I heard Marinette let out a horrified gasp. I looked up and realized that she had run into the road, trying to help and elderly man who was having trouble walking with his cane.
" Oh my gosh." I muttered to myself, seeing a bright red car speeding in their direction without any signs of slowing down.
My heart raced as I ran into the road, getting on the other side of the older man, supporting his back as I grabbed his hand and pulled him along a bit faster than he was going.
We had just barley made it back on to the platform as the car speeded by, not even so much as a honk for an apology.
" Fucking creep. Who does things like that?!" I muttered angrily to myself.
" Oh. What a disaster." I snapped out of my angry musings when I heard the man speak up.
I turned to see what had happened, and saw that Marinette had tripped, dropping the box full of macaroons that dad had given to us.
Marinette had stood to her feet, picking the box up with a smile. " Oh don't worry, I'm not a stranger to disasters. Besides there's still a few left." She said to him, holding the box out and offering him one.
I bent down and picked up the ones that weren't crushed to pieces and threw them into the trash bin.
" Mhm delicious!" The man said with a smile on his face.
I remained silent as I stood behind Marinette just listening to the words they were saying but that was cut short when Marinette heard the school bell start to ring.
" Oh no. We're gonna be late. I hope you have a nice day sir!" Marinette said to him with a bow and took off running.
I bowed as well to the man and took off running behind her.
✯¸.•'*¨'*•✿ ✿•*'¨*'•.¸✯
I was full on panting by the time we made it to the class. The school surprisingly wasn't that far from our home, but still, we ran the whole way here and I'm tired as hell.
By the time I had finally managed to catch my breath, I had realized where I was. And I also had realized that Marinette wasn't by my side anymore.
I looked around the room briefly, seeing that it didn't have that many students here yet, and my eyes fell on my sister who was sitting on the right side of the classroom, sitting at the second table in the row.
" Nino, why don't you join us down here in the front this year, hmm?" I heard the voice of the teacher call out.
I didn't know who she was referring to but a boy that sat on the same side of the class as Marinette just way in the back got up out of his seat, bright orange headphone hanging around his neck as he groaned and trudged down the stairs where he sat at the table that was in the very front.
I was about to make my way over to the table Marinette sat at when two more students walked into the room, brushing past me without a second thought. Two girls, one blonde and one red head made their way right up to my sister who's face already wore a look of annoyance on it.
The blonde girl slammed her hand down on the table top with a smirk. " Marinette Dupain-Cheng." She said in an annoying sing song voice.
Marinette rolled her eyes at the girl. "Ugh here we go again." She muttered out loud.
" That's my seat." The girl said, ignoring Nettie's words.
Marinette looked up at the girl in confusion. " but Chloe, you know this has always been my seat." She responded to her.
The red hair sat down at the table next to Nettie, a smirk on her face as she crossed her arms and spoke. " Well it's not anymore. New school, new year, new seats." She said to her in a smart alec tone.
" Exactly! So why don't you just go sit with that new girl over there." She said.
I almost thought she was talking about me, but her finger was pointing in another direction. It was a girl who was sitting there minding her business on her phone, her brown/red ombré hair swayed as she looked over at the situation that she was brought into, giving the blonde haired girl a glare.
" But-"
Nettie didn't get to finish what she was about to say because she was cut off by the blonde girl again. "Listen. Adrien is arriving today and this is gonna be his seat-" She said pointing to the table that was in front of the one Nettie was sitting at, next to the boy with the headphones. " this is gonna be my seat. Get it?" She said, slamming her hand on the tabletop again.
Confusion was still on Marinette's face as she responded. " Uhh who's Adrien?"
The two girl burst out loud obnoxiously making me roll my eyes. I was just about fed up with both of them.
"Can you believe she doesn't know who Adrien is? What rock have you been living under?" She said snickering.
" He's only a famous model." The redhead chimed in.
" And I am his bestfriend. He adores me. So ugh go on and move." She bragged, shooing Matinette away.
My eyebrows furrowed. I wanted to say something, but I didn't want to bring any unnecessary attention to myself. I hated when I was the center of everyone's attention. But I wanted to say something so bad to defend my sister. These two girl were irritating and getting on my last nerve.
" Hey, who elected you Queen of seats?" The girl from before said as she walked up the few stairs to come face to face with the blonde girl.
The blonde girl smirk as she look the girl up and down. " oooh look Sabrina. We got a do-gooder in our class this year. What are you gonna do super noobie?" The blonde girl said getting close to the other girls face. " shoot beams at me with your glasses?" She mocked.
" Wouldn't you like to know." The other girl growled out, brushing past the blonde and going over to grab Nettie's arm and pull her along with her, down to the table she was sitting at in the front of the class.
I let out a sigh of relief that the other girl stepped and and said something and removed my sister from that situation.
" woah woah!" Nettie exclaimed as she fell to the ground, once again dropping the box full of macaroons. " sorry sorry, so sorry." She apologized.
I went over to her, helping her back to her feet before I bent down and picked up the macaroons that had fallen.
" Haha and what are you gonna do with those second noobie? Eat them?" I heard the blonde speak up in the annoying voice of hers.
I didn't bother acknowledging her in the slightest. " are you alright Nettie?" I asked my sister.
" Yeah I'm fine. Go and find a seat. Class is about to start." She said to me with a small smile.
I sighed and nodded my head. First walking over to the trash bin to throw the ruined macaroons away, then I went over to the stairs and begin walking up, ignoring the snicking of the two girls and walked to the table that sat all the way in the back of the classroom.
" Have everyone found a seat?" The teacher called out.
I heard the class groaned out their replies as I looked around the room. Their weren't many students in here, but I was grateful for that. That just meant everybody can mind their own business and no one can bother me.
The teacher started to talk again so I paid attention to what she was saying.
" For those of you who don't yet know me, I am Ms.Bustier. I'll be your teacher this year." She said introducing herself.
✯¸.•'*¨'*•✿ ✿•*'¨*'•.¸✯
I had finished writing down the last of my notes when the bell rang and everyone else begin to pack their things up.
" Those of you who have PE, Mr. D'Argencourt is expecting you at the stadium." Ms.Bustier started.
I had begin to pack up my things and started to make my way down the stairs but was blocked by a boy with a red shirt passing another boy with a black shirt with skulls on it a, piece of paper.
" the rest of you can head over to the library." She told us.
I was about to continue walking down the stairs when an angry voice yelled out " Kim!" I looked over and saw that the boy with the black shirt had his fist raised as he got ready to strike the one with the red shirt.
" Ivan!" Ms.Bustier called out with a gasp. " What is going on?" She asked.
" It's Kim!" The boy named Ivan blamed as he raised his fist once again, ready to strike. " I am so gonna-"
" Ivan! Go to the principals office!" Ms.Bustier told him sternly.
Ivan growled in anger, balling the paper up and picking his backpack up, slinging it over his shoulder before he stomped out of the room, with the blonde and her sidekick snickering at him.
I had a deep frown on my face at the situation. I felt bad for the taller boy but honestly it wasn't any of my business, so I continued to make my way down the stairs.
Nettie and the girl from earlier were already pack up and ready to go. Nettie looked back and saw me coming. " Are you ready to go?" She asked.
I nodded my head.
" Hey girl. I'm Alya. It's nice to meet you." The girl said.
" Um hi. I'm Zaierre. It's nice to meet you too." I replied back to her.
" So what the deal with you two. Are you like bestfriends or something?" Alya asked as we all exited the classroom.
" We're sisters." Marinette replied to her.
"Ooooh." Alya drawed out, confusion quickly coming and going from her face.
I nodded awkwardly and we all begin to leave out of the classroom. I pulled out my phone and earphones from pouch and put them in my ears, turning on my korean ballads playlist.
I didn't really wanna engage in this awkward conversation that usually came with people finding out that Marinette and I are sisters. Then I would have to get into the whole spiel about being adopted and I just didn't want to deal with all of that.
When the three of us made it to the library, we all sat down at a table. Nettie and Alya sat on one side, and I sat on the other side, scrolling through my Twitter account, swaying my head back and forth as I hummed along to the Korean lyrics of the song I was listening to.
" So Zaierre, Marinette tells me that this is your first ever time going to public school." Alya questioned.
The music playing in my headphones were low enough that I heard her, so I answered with a nod. " Yeah that's true." I said simply.
Alya opened her mouth to ask another question but suddenly there was a harsh rumble that shook the school, sending me flying out of my chair and onto the ground.
I landed on the ground with a grunt, students running around screaming in panic around me. " Come on!" I could hear Alya's voice say and I was pulled up off of the ground by my wrist.
My feet automatically started moving on their own until my brain caught up to what was happening around me. Alya was pulling Nettie along by her wrist, while Nettie pulled me.
We ran a short distance to a area of the library with tv's that showed footage from the security cameras that were placed all around the school. The footage showed a- " What hell is that?" I said to myself as I watched the tall rock monster land on the schools side walk, creating a crater beneath it.
" W-what's going on? He had... Ivan's voice?" Marinette said with a gasp.
" It's as if he's been transformed into a real life supervillain!" Alya exclaimed, excitement sparkling in her eyes as she took out her phone. " GPS... check. Battery... check. I am so outta here!" Alya said as she ran off excitedly.
" Her where are you going?" Marinette called out after her?
Alya stopped just before she ran out of the library doors and turned around. " Where thes a supervillain there's always a superhero slide behind! No way am I missing this!" She said as she turned back around and ran out of the door.
" Why the hell would she wanna run to the monster?" I questioned out loud turning my attention back to the tv screen just as the footage showed the rock monster walking into the street in front of a car.
The occupants got out of the car, running and screaming for their lives as the rock monster picked the whole car up and threw it in the direction of the security camera, destroying it and our view of what was going on outside.
Nettie and I instinctively flinched back away from the tv's. The silence that coated the room was ironically getting louder the longer we stood their in our shock.
" That did not just happen." I said outloud.
Marinette stood there staring into space for another minute before she finally turned to me, grabbing my wrist. " Come on Zai, we gotta get home." She said pulling me along.
✯¸.•'*¨'*•✿ ✿•*'¨*'•.¸✯
I threw the door to my room open, hunched over with my hands on my knees as I caught my breath from running the whole way back.
I took my purses strap from around my shoulder and went and sat it on my bed, then I walked over to my TV/computer desk and turned it on the news channel.
" As incredible as it is, Paris is indeed being attacked by a supervillain. The police has been struggling to keep the situation under control." The news anchor stated as the footage playing showed the rock monster destroying more parts of the city.
" Isn't that just great? The moment that I'm practically forced to go to public school, something like this decides to happen." I said to myself.
I grabbed the remote off of my computer desk and made my way back over to my bed and threw myself on it. " Ow! Shit!" I exclaimed, rolling off of my bed, standing to my feet and rubbing the spot where I fall into something. " What the hell was that?" I asked myself as I looked at my bed trying to see if there was anything on it.
" Oh?" I said. My curiosity was piqued when I saw what it was that I had landed on. It was a small black box with a red design on it.
I reached over and picked it up from the bed, looking it over before I took off the lid and in an instant, a bright white light shot out from the box making me scream in fright, tossing the box out of my hand as I scrambled back in fear, tripping over a pair of shoes that laid on my floor.
I landed on the floor with a grunt, but as quickly as I could, I hopped back up to my feet and was about to turn and run out of my room when a small voice stopped me in my tracks.
" It would be very unwise to do that."
I turned around to face the direction where the voice had come from and almost jumped out of my skin when I saw a small pure white creature with fluffy ears, a fluffy tail and golden eyes floating in the middle of my room. It had its little arms crossed and an eyebrow perked up in question at me.
I couldn't do anything but stare back. I slowly brought my right hand up to pinch my other arm. " This is not real. This is not real." I chanted to myself.
But the more that I kept chanting and pinching myself, I came to realize that this was most definitely real.
" I see that look of panic on your face, and please don't. Please just lend your ear so that I can explain the answers to the questions that I know you want to ask." The creature said to me.
I gulped and took a deep breath in and slowly let it out. " Ok." I said to it.
The creature nodded its head and flew a little more closer to me as it begin to speak. "I am Luna. I am your Kawmi from this day forward. You were chosen by the guardian of the miraculous' to be a protector of Paris. You will be granted the powers of the wolf. Not only will you have immense strength and speed, but with the howl of confiscation, you will be able to render your enemies useless, taking away their power until you transform back into your civilian form. That will be an immense help to your team." Luna explained.
I tried to hold tightly to every word she said, the information processing in my brain as she spoke, yet the more she spoke the more uncomfortable I became.
" Woah woah woah woah hold up. Protector of Paris? Teammates? Powers? No no no no I can't be a- a superhero. I'm not build for that kind of thing! I can barley even speak to new people without feeling like I'm gonna throw up everywhere and you think I can be a superhero? Absolutely not. You're gonna have to find some who's more qualified for the job cause I can guarantee you, I'm not the one." I told Luna shaking my head stubbornly.
Luna flew over to where the black box was and picked it up, then she flew over to me and held the box out to me.
I looked down at the box and hesitantly took it from her small hands and opened it.
Inside of it was a black necklace with a pendant that was the shape of a paw print with a crescent moon inside of it.
" This is your miraculous, I can assure you of that. The guardian wouldn't have chosen you if they didn't believe you were. Zaierre the city of Paris needs you." Luna poured out.
My heart was racing. This wasn't what I signed up for. This isn't what I want. But- but I can't just sit around while innocent people get hurt and the city gets destroyed.
I took another deep sigh and let it out before I looked at Luna. " What do I have to do?"
" Before you transform, I must inform you. You must not tell anyone of your identity. It must remain secret to keep you and everyone in your life safe. And secondly, after you use your power, you will only have five minutes befit you are forced to transform back, so please be mindful and seek a hiding place when you do so." Luna explained to me.
"I understand. " I told her with a firm nod.
She nodded her head back to me before she spoke again. " Alright. Now all you have to do to transform is to put on your miraculous and say 'Luna, let's howl!" She explained.
I took the necklace out of the box and un clasped the latch and re clasped it around my neck where it rested, sitting right above my chest. "Luna let's howl? What kind of transf-"
I didn't get to finish my sentence when as quickly as she appeared, Luna was forcibly pulled into the pendant of the necklace, turning the whole necklace white as what I could only describe as magic flowed all around me.
It flowed over my clothes turning my grey sweatpants into skin tight pants, then it turned my sweatshirt into a pure white turtleneck crop top, reminding me of starfire from teen titans the cartoon version. My shoes had turned into white thigh high boots and on my hands fingerless gloves appeared. My hands then came up touching the top of my head as a pair of white fluffy ear appeared and as I shook my hips, a white fluffy tail popped up on my backside as well.
The transformation was quick and was over in what felt like seconds. I looked at my arms seeing the white fingerless gloves that covered my hands then I looked down seeing the pants. I turned and went over to my full body mirror that was in the corner of my room and looked myself over, and I couldn't help the gasp that left my mouth.
The ears, the tail, the white mask, the golden eyes, the long white hair that fell in curls down my back, the crescent moon on my forehead- wait I'm kinda giving Sesshomaru from Inuyasha right now! Oh my gosh.
I turned around in a circle to get a full view and as I did, I saw resting in holsters on my back was a pair of white nunchucks with a crescent moons on the handles.
" Oh my goodness. This is a lot. This is so unexpected. Am I ready to do this? Am I ready to be an actual life saving Paris saving hero?" I said to myself.
I didn't get a chance to continue my musings when the news station that I was watching earlier caught my attention again.
The monster was going from tower to tower in the city destroying it and when I looked closer at the screen, that familiar brown/ red ombré hair caught my attention.
" I- is that Alya?" I continued to watch the footage of the daredevil girl who rode her bicycle, following right behind the rock monster.
" Marinette, did you get home ok?" I could hear my moms voice down the hall as she yelled up stairs to Marinette's room.
" Oh shit." I said to myself.
I knew she was gonna be coming here next and I couldn't let her see me in my transformed state, so I quickly made my way over to my window, throwing it open. I looked down at the long drop down, then I looked up at the roof.
" That's not too far." I said to myself.
I went out of my window, holding on as I launched myself up, flying past Netties room as I grabbed on to the roof just as I heard my mothers voice calling my name. I pulled myself up so that I was standing on the roof. My heart was pounding, but I wasn't tired at all. " I guess when Luna said I had super strength and speed, she really meant it. Well that, and these nunchuck things." I said as I took the pair nunchucks from my back and examined them.
I looked at them and admired their beauty. I ran my hand over the glowing white crescent moon that was on the handle and ended up pressing it and a screen unexpectedly came up.
" Oh wow." I said impressed. It was literally just like a phone. It had a call button, messaging, camera, it even had a gps function.
I had noticed that it also already had two peoples contact information in it. " Who is-"
I didn't get to finish my thought when this feeling in my gut told me that I needed to get a move on it and that I was wasting time.
I listened to that gut feeling and pressed the crescent button again, making the screen slide back into place, and then as if on instinct, I put one pair of my nunchucks back into its holster on my back and with the other, I held the handle and aimed at a random building and fling the other side like I was going fishing. The other handle of the nunchuck wrapped itself around a protruding part of the building and the next thing I knew, I was flying through the air.
" AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" I screaming an ear piercing scream at the top of my lungs as I flared my arms and legs in a wild manner, praying over and over that I didn't die within the first few minutes of me being a superhero.
I had come closer and closer to the ground when there was a blur of black that flashed before my eyes and suddenly I was caught in someone's arms.
I didn't care, I clung on to the person until we landed safely on the ground. My hands were on my knees as I thought it over whether I was cut out for this again, because I was off to a poor start as a superhero.
" This is your miraculous, I can assure you of that. The guardian wouldn't have chosen you if they didn't believe you were. Zaierre the city of Paris needs you."
Luna’s words had flashed through my mind and they seemed to be a form of reassurance, cause it it make me feel slightly better. I need to stop being so hard on myself. I'm still learning the ropes of this whole superhero thing and my powers and everything else.
I stood up straight and let out a sigh of relief, and when I turned around, I was met with another person that was clad in an all black bodysuit and a black mask. All I could really see about his physical features were his wild blond hair and the green cat like eyes he had.
" Oh umm hi." I said awkwardly.
" Hi. You must be one of the partners that my Kwami told me about." He said to me with a hand on his chin as he put on a thinking face. " I'm...... Chat Noir. Yeahhh Chat Noir. And who might you be?" He asked as he look at me expectantly.
" I- I’m uhhh." I didn't even take into consideration that I had to come up with my own superhero name. So I pondered for about a minute before my brain just automatically came up with, " I'm Night Howl." I finally responded.
" Well Night Howl, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. I just know it's gonna be ameowzing working by your side!" Chat Noir said with a smile as he flexed his eyebrows up and down in a flirty manor.
I couldn't help the smile and chuckle that left my lips. What can I say? I'm a sucker for corny jokes and puns.
" Yeah. And you as well." I responded to him.
He pulled out a silver staff from behind his back. " We should probably get a move on, our lady Paris needs saving at this moment." He said as he pressed the green glowing cat paw button on his staff and it extended taking him along with it as he hopped on to the roof of a building and connected his extended staff to another building and begin to walk across it, his arms outstretched to balance himself.
" I'm starting to get the hang of this." I could hear him say.
As he continued walking, my ears started twitching on my head as the sound of someone screaming came closer and closer until a red blur flew across the sky, then came crashing down right on top of chat noir.
I gasped and ran over to hopefully try to catch the two if they fell, but the red yo-yo thing that the other person had in their hand wrapped around chat's staff then the string wrapping around the pair, tying them together as they dangled and swung side to side like a piñata that someone was smacking around.
" Well hey there. Nice of you to drop in." Chat said as they kept swinging back and forth.
" Uh I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose." The other person said bashfully.
I walked over to the two and helped untangle the string form around them as chat flipped and landed into a squat then stood to his feet. " and I'm guessing you're the other partner that my kwami told me about. I'm Chat Noir, and this is Night Howl. And who might you be?" Chat asked the other newly turned hero.
" I'm Maaa- urrr maaa." She said as she kept pulling on her yo-yo, trying to get it back from the staff that it was wrapped around. She gave it one more hard tug and it unwrapped itself and came down right on chat noirs head along with his staff, making him groan out in pain and rub the part of his head that the yo-yo had hit. " madly clumsy. I'm so clumsy." She finally said as she looked down in shame.
Chat stood up straight with a smile as he picked up his staff. " No sweat clumsy girl. I'm learning the ropes too." He told her.
Just as she was about to reply, the ground begin to rumble and shake just like back in the library earlier. We all gasped as we looked up and saw a building start to fall a few blocks away.
Chat noir stepped back a few paces and ran forward and extended his staff a he propelled through the air and landed on a roof top.
" Hey wait! Where are you going?!" The red clad girl yelled after him.
He turned back with a wave of his hand. " To save Paris right?" He responded before continuing to run off.
The red clad girl then turned her attention to me. " I- umm are you ready?" She asked me.
" As ready as I'll ever be I guess." I told her.
She nodded as she faced the building again and took out her yo-yo as I took out my nunchucks.
She started twirling her yo-yo around in a circular motion, a glowing red aura begin to appear around as she kept chanting " trust yourself" to herself before she finally threw her yo-yo up to a gargoyle on the building and she went flying through the air with a scream as it retracted.
I looked down at my nunchucks and begin to do the same thing. I begin twirling it in a circular motion and threw it like a fishing rod as the chains on it begin to elongate and catch on to that same gargoyle. I gave one pull and the chains retracted sending me flying through the air with a scream as well.
✯¸.•'*¨'*•✿ ✿•*'¨*'•.¸✯
I was last to arrive at the stadium. I was standing on the overhead, looking down just as the rock monster was running after the Kim boy, almost grabbing him when chat noirs staff had come down between the two and sliding down it to stand in between the rock boy and Kim.
" Hey it's not nice to pick on people who are smaller than you." Chat berated the rock boy with a smirk on his face and his staff over his shoulder as Kim got up from the ground and begin to run away to safety.
" I guess your talking about yourself ?" Rock boy said back to him teasingly as he reached back through himself forward and tried to grab chat noir.
Chat was a bit too quick for the stone boy as he dodged his hand, then begin to run up the giants arm, pulling out his staff and giving him a powerful whack to the head with it.
Chat jumped back to the ground and turned around to see the damage he had done to the giant only to find out that instead of hurting it, it made it grow stronger in power as it had grew and gotten bigger.
The rock boy had turned around to face chat with a mighty stomp, shaking the ground as chat had his staff extended out in front of him read to defend himself with it. " Where are you partners?!" He yelled out.
I looked over to the red clad girl who had stood right next to me and she looked over at me as well, worry in her eyes as she look back over to chat noir who was on the defense of and kept jumping around and narrowly missing getting hit by the rock boy.
" Oh I can't. I'm not gonna be able to do it." She said as she put her hands over her face.
My heart pounded in my chest because I understood exactly where she was coming from. But as I stood here now, seeing chat so desperately fighting to save the civilians and being so courageous doing it, it made me want to help.
I looked back at the fight seeing the rock boy throwing the whole soccer goal at chat noir, and with chat being so agile, he jumped out of the way in time, but the goal bounce off of the ground and started soaring through the air and heading to where Alya was standing.
A gasp had left my mouth when what felt like instincts coursed through my body. I took off as fast as I could. I ran, jumping off of the over head of the stadium, steadying my breath as I soared through the air. I landed on the ground and instantly took off in the direction of Alya, seeing the goal coming closer and closer to her. As I continued to run, I got my nunchuck and cocked my arm back and swung it forward towards the goal. It wrapped around it a few times and I stopped myself from running and gave a harsh tug to my nunchuck and the goal changed courses and landed away from Alya.
I let out a sigh of relief as I heard chat let out a cheer before a strangled breath left his mouth as the rock boy snuck up from behind and grabbed him in his clutches.
I ran over to the big rock giant, taking out both pairs of nunchucks, swinging them around before striking the monster with both of the nunchucks right in the face.
My face contorted into one of horror as I watched the monster get even bigger, the hand that held chat, coming up and grabbing me right out of the air as well, squishing me up against chat.
" That was so dumb of me." I said out loud.
" Hey wolfie, don't even stress it. Look at the bright side, at least your right next to me." Chat said as he wiggled his eyebrows.
" You... really are something else." I said to him.
" Hey you super red bug!" Alya yelled up to the direction where the red clad girl was standing." What are you waiting for? The whole world is watching you!" She said to her.
I looked up to see the the girl was having a very hard time with what she should do. Then she suddenly straightened her back and ran and jumped off of the over head. She threw her yo-yo around the rock giants legs and slid under him and at nice enough distance.
" Animal cruelty? How shameful." She said as she gave the yo-yo a hard tug, sending the rock giant to the ground as he released chat and I.
We both flew threw the air landing in the soccer goal. Chat hopped up first, then turned and offered a hand to me which I graciously accepted as I rubbed my head.
" You alright?" He asked me.
" Yeah I'm fine." I told him as the red clad girl came running over to us.
" I'm sorry I took song long you guys." She said apologetically.
" No I understood exactly where you were coming from." I told her with a smile.
" Yeah it's cool wonder bug. Now let's kick his rocky behind." Chat said as his hand was up in an attacking position as he begin to run, but the red clad girl grabbed his belt? Tail? I don't know, while I stood in front of him to stop him as well.
" I don't think that would be a very effective way to defeat him." I said to them both.
" yeah and haven't you noticed? He gets bigger and stronger with every attack. We have to do something different.
" Different how?" Chat questioned.
" I- uhhh. I don't know." She said, her head falling in discouragement.
" Well I know! How about we use our powers?" Chat suggested as he held his hand up and called out "cataclysm!"
Chat stood there with a smirk on his face as the magic of his power engulfed his hand in the form of black destruction. " apparently I destroy whatever I touch." He said cockily.
" Yeahhhh so do you mind keeping your hand over there." I said pushing his arm that was too close for comfort away from me.
Chat looked at me sheepishly, moving his arm away as the red clad girl spoke up. " I don't need a superpower to destroy things." She said awkwardly as she folded her arms.
Chat let out a chuckle as he turned towards the goal post, reaching his hand out to touch it. "Wait don't do that!" The girl and I screamed in unison.
But it was too late. Chat noir had already touched it, the entire goal post turning into ashes in mere seconds.
A frown formed on my face as the red clad girl facepalmed herself.
Chat looked at his hand with a smirk. " Cool!" He exclaimed as his attention turned to the giant rock boy. " It's just you and me now! Time to rumble soon to be rubble!"
" Chat noir wait!" The red clad girl yelled out.
I sighed and shook my head, watching as Chat jumped high in the air, bringing his hand up and pressing it too the giant rock boy's foot. He looked up expectantly, thinking that the giant was gonna disintegrate like the goal post did, but it didn't.
" Uh-oh. I guess I only have one shot to use my powers." Chat noir said with a nervous chuckle.
I watched as the giant cocked his foot back and I looked away before I could see the kick, grimacing to myself because I just knew that had to hurt.
Chat noir rolled over back to where the red clad girl and I stood, looking down at him with knowing looks on our faces. " And know you only have five minutes before you transform back." The girl said, frustration seeping out in her voice.
" Didn't your Kwami explain anything to you?" I asked him exasperatedly.
Cat noir itched the back of his neck awkwardly. " I guess I was excited about my new life." He said sheepishly.
" Well.... It seems like it's up to us now." She said looking over at me.
I nodded my head.
" Lucky charm!" The girl called out, throwing her yo-yo up in the air, an array of ladybugs gathered in a group before disappearing leaving behind a........ diving suit? Jumpsuit? I didn't really know what kind of suit it was.
" Superpower." Chat noir said mockingly.
" My Kwami told me that I had to break the object where the whatchamacallit... the akuma is hiding." She explained.
" Well his giant ass is made entirely of rock so...." I told her, glancing back at the giant rock boy before looking back at her.
" Yeah I see that. Look, I noticed that his right hand, it's still closed, he never opens it. It's like the Russian dolls. The object isn't on him. It's hidden in his fist." The red clad girl explained.
" So what's your plan?" Chat asked curiously.
" Hmmm..." The red clad girl sounds as she looked around for a bit to different areas. I could practically see the wheels in her head turning as she thought of something. " This." She said as she pointed down to a water hose, putting the head of the water hose into the suit and closed the neck of it off then she stood back up to her feet.
I was so confused. I had no idea what this plan was or what she was doing, but at this point, she's the only one with a plan so.....
My thoughts were interrupted when I felt something wrapping around my ankles. I looked down quickly, seeing a thin black string.
I looked back up to the red clad girl, confusion and questions taking over my features. " What are you-"
I didn't get to finish my statement before she spoke. " Don't resist. Trust me." She she as she gave the yo-yo a tight pull and suddenly my feet were dragged and pulled right next to chat noir and I was swinging through the air, a scream ripping from my mouth.
" This girl is crazyyyyy!" Chat screamed as we flew through the air, right into the hands of the giant rock boy.
I struggled in the giants grasp. His hold was tight and I was squished right up against chat noir… again. /p>
" This is a bit of a tight squeeze, don't you think?" Chat noir said, his eyebrow raised mischievously with a smirk on his face.
" Don't make this any weirder than it already is, hmm chat?" I told him, avoiding his gaze.
" Don't worry my wolfie. I'll play nice." He said.
I ignored his words as I saw the red clad girl jump high up in the air, suit in hand, " Catch me if you can!" She yelled, a determined look on her face.
The giant opened his hand, a hard purple glowing ball falling out of it and on to the ground as he caught the girl with his other hand. " And now.... ALYA THE TAP!" She yelled.
I couldn't turn to see, but I imagine Alya had something to do and was doing it, because next thing I knew, the red clad girl burst out of the rock boys hand and started running and suddenly a purple aura glowed around the giants body and the rock disappeared and chat and I were falling to the ground.
Chat landed first and I landed right on top of him with a grunt. " Seems like we always end up in sticky situations huh?" Chat said with a grin.
" Kitty noir, please shut up." I said to him exasperatedly.
" Meow!" He replied with a smirk. " But hey. This girl is awesome right?, she's crazy awesome." He said in awe as he turned his attention and looked up at the red clad girl.
I didn't reply, I just pushed myself up off of chat and stood up to my feet then turned to look at the boy who had gotten victimized by the akuma.
" W-what going on? What am I doing here?" The boy said, rubbing his head in confusion.
His question was ignored as Chat turned to the red clad girl and begin to speak," You were incredible miss ummm, bug lady. You did it!" I heard Chat saying.
I turned around to face their conversation.
" Yeah. That was some quick thinking you did back there." I told her.
" We all did it partners." The red clad girl said back to us.
I don't even know how we all ended up thinking of doing it, but weirdly all at the same time, we put our fists in the middle of us and said, " Pound it!" as we all did a three way fist bump.
Just then, Chat noir's ring started to beep.
" Maybe you should be on your way. My Kwami told me that our identities have to remain a secret." I told him with a raised brow.
" Aww wolfie. Are you trying to get rid of me already?" He asked with a pout.
His ring started beeping again and a worried look on the red clad girl's face started to show. " No she's absolutely right. Our identities must remain hidden otherwise we will have to give our miraculous' up." She spoke up.
"Don't worry yourself mi'lady. I'll be taking my leave now. Don't miss me too much. Let's do this again soon." He said with a smile, giving a two finger salute before he extended his staff, jumping on to the over head of the stadium before disappearing.
" Uh-huh! Not too soon I hope." She said to herself with a smile.
We both then turned around, our attention now on Ivan, who still sat there on the ground with a confused look on his face.
The red clad girl then looked down at a balled up piece of paper in her hand, unwrapping it as she started to read what was on it. " You haven't even got the guts to tell Mylene you love her. Wuss!" The girl read in a sympathetic voice.
I frowned as I heard the girl read the note out loud.
" Kim wrote it. He's always making fun of me." The boy said as she looked down, sadness in his vocie.
Hearing his words made me frown even more, we then made our way over to the boy. The red clad girl bending down next to the boy, placing a hand on his shoulder.
" You know, you shouldn't get so bent out of shape about that. There's no shame in telling someone that you love them Ivan." She said to him with a soft smile.
" I agree. Don't let someone get into your head so much that they change you into someone or something that you're not. Asshole's are everywhere in this world. Sometimes it's just best to ignore them and don't let them get any satisfaction that they want when they think they can get under your skin." I chimed in, knowing exactly how he was feeling from experience.
" Yeah I understand what your saying. And you, how did you know my name miss?" He asked the red clad girl.
The red clad girl was stammering and stumbling over her words, itching the back of her neck awkwardly.
" Uncanny! Amazing! Spectacular!" Alya said, her phone in her hand as she held it up recording us. “Are you guys gonna be protecting Paris from now on? How did you get your powers? Did you get stung by a radio active ladybug? Were you taken over by a wolf spirit, like in those anime's? Oh my gosh, I have so many questions that I need to ask you uh miss- uh..." Alya dragged on as she looked back and forth between both of us.
" Uh... Ladybug. Call me ladybug." She said.
" and you?" Alya said she she then pointed her phone in my direction.
" You can call me Night howl." I said to her.
Ladybug had thrown her yo-yo, so I had gotten out my nunchucks and did the same thing, jumping on the overhead of the stadium.
I wasn't in a rush as I hadn't used my power, so I wasn't in danger of transforming back, so I put my hands on my knees and took some deep breaths. " You did ok today." I said, chanting to myself.
I then stood up, a smile coming to my face as my mind let the thoughts rush over me.
I swing my nunchuck again, catching on to another building, swinging from building to building until I landed on the roof of my home building.
I walked over to the door that had the staircase that lead me back into my home.
" Luna, howls off." I called out and instantly detransformed, Luna appearing in front of me again.
She begin to fall and I opened my hands and caught her. " Hey umm... are you ok?" I asked her worriedly.
" I am fine. Just in need a bit of food." She responded to me.
" Oh um. What would you recommend." I asked her, putting her in my pouch before I opened the door and made my way down the stairs that lead to the hallway.
" Anything chocolate, I would gladly appreciate." She told me.
I nodded my head." Of course. Give me one second." I told her, closing my pouch as I made my way down the stairs, walking into the kitchen.
I didn't see anyone in here so I quickly walked over to the counter where the container with the chocolate croissants rested and grabbed two of them, then I quickly rushed back up the stairs before anyone saw me.
I opened my pouch and handed one of the croissants to Luna while I took a bite of the other one.
I walked into my room, closing the door behind me.
" Luna, you can do what you want, but I'm in desperate need of a nap." I told her, a yawn sneaking up on me.
" I will be right here when you wake up." She told me as she continued to much on her croissant. " And you did well today. You are very worthy of being the white wolf." She said to me.
I smiled and let out a small thank you before I got on my bed, falling asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

Chapter Text
Zaierre's Pov
" Zaierre get up or we're gonna be late!" I could hear Marinette's voice yell as she pounded on my door.
I huffed, grabbing my pillow and throwing it over my head, trying to chase the edge of sleep and continue on with the amazing dream that I was having.
*bang bang bang bang*
" Zaierre I know you're not up! You have five seconds to get up before I come in their and drag you out myself! I'm trying to keep a good attendance track this year and I don't need you messing that up!" She yelled through the door again.
" ughhhHHHHHHH!" I yelled out in frustration, throwing the pillow that I had over my face at the door. " I'm up, Ok!" I yelled back.
I hear a satisfied "Hmpf" come from the other side of the door. " Good. Now hurry up and get dressed so we can leave. Or I'll just have to leave you and you can face miss Bustier's questioning all on your own, on why you're late to class. Your choice." She told me.
After her last words, I could hear her walking away from my door, making her way down the stairs.
I rolled my eyes, throwing my covers off of my body. " She gets on my damn nerves, I swear. How is she gonna come talking all this crap to me about being late and perfect attendance, when she was the one that woke up late yesterday? Hypocrites, I swear." I said to myself.
" Perhaps you should get a move on it? You know you're wasting more time being mad then you are getting ready." Luna's voice spoke up.
I cut my eyes over to the small white wolf Kwami that currently rested on my pillow. " Great not only do I have to be berated by my sister, now I have to be berated by my Kwami as well." I said with a sigh, hopping out of my bed and making my way over to my closet.
I looked around for a short while. It didn't take me long to find an outfit. Almost everything I chose to wear is super simple, so today I decided to pick out a black plain oversized hoodie, a black pair of leggings with a black pair of sneakers.
And with that. I was off to start my morning.
✯¸.•'*¨'*•✿ ✿•*'¨*'•.¸✯
" The stone beings are scattered all over Paris. For the time being, they are showing no signs of movements. Police have cornered off the area." I heard the news reporter say as I walked down the stairs, into the kitchen where dad stood at the sink washing dishes, and Nettie was making herself something for breakfast.
My face was confused when I saw her standing there, about to eat. " I thought we were gonna be oh so late. But I guess we have enough time for you to eat breakfast huh?" I said to her, sarcasms dripping from my lips.
Marinette decided not to respond to me as her eyes were glued to the tv screen as she took in everything the reporter was saying.
" Paris is relying on our new guardian angels, Ladybug, Chat Noir, and Night Howl to save us all. Our lives depend on them."
A frown made its way on to my screen as I listened to the broadcast as well. "Why are there even more stone beings then their were yesterday? I thought we defeated and reverted Ivan back. What the hell is going on?" I thought to myself, my eyebrows furrowing.
Marinette let a sigh leave her mouth as she listened as well, and when she did, dad must have noticed that, plus the worried and confused look on my face.
" Listen girls." He said as he pulled the both of us into his arms. " I know how upsetting and scary this is, but don't worry my loves. We have three superhero's looking out for Paris and the best way to help them is to show them that we're not scared. Because we trust them." He told us passionately, releasing us from the embrace.
Marinette gripped her bowl, her face downcast in what I could only describe as worry and sadness. " But... what if Ladybug fail?" She questioned.
Dad placed a hand on her shoulder as he said. " Then I would come and save you two! Super baker to the rescue!" He exclaimed, waving around a loaf of bread as if it were a sword.
Nettie laughed as I smiled at dad's antics. He always knew just what to say to stop a somber mood.
" Thanks super dad." Marinette said gratefully as she giggled before giving dad a kiss on the cheek and running upstairs.
Dad then turned his attention to me. " No hug and kiss for papa?" He asked with a pout.
I smiled and playfully rolled my eyes at him before walking over to him to give him a kiss on the cheek before giving him a hug as well.
" Don't worry yourselves over this. We will be fine. Paris will be fine. Just make sure that you're aware of your surroundings and make sure that both you and your sister stay safe." He told me before releasing me from the hug.
" Yeah I know dad." I said to him.
" Alright hun." He said as he ruffled my hair.
A frown then made its way to my lips as I groaned. " Dad... see now why would you-"
I didn't even get to finish my complaint, because before I did, Marinette was flying down the stairs, grabbing my arm as she did so.
" Come on Zai. We gotta go." She said to me. " Love you dad. See you later! Stay safe!" She called over her shoulder as she continued to pull me along, out of the bakery.
✯¸.•'*¨'*•✿ ✿•*'¨*'•.¸✯
When we had finally made it on to school grounds, as usual I leaned over to catch my breath. When my breathing was back to its normal state, I had finally looked around the courtyard only to see students still lounging around and talking, not at all in any rush to make it to class.
I looked over at Marinette, my eyes shooting lasers into her back as she avoided my gaze. " I thought you said we were about to be late..." I sneered at her.
" I- umm that was a little motivation to help get you started with your day! Yeah!" She said enthusiastically.
" Nettie I swear I'm gonna-"
" Good morning ladies!" Alya's voice could be heard as she made her way over to us, phone in hand as always.
" Good morning Alya." Marinette replied with a smile.
" Morning." I said to her.
"Hey guys, check this out real quick." She said as she handed Marinette her phone. I peeked over at the phone screen to look as well. " Ladyblog! Bringing you the latest news about the coolest superhero, Ladybug! How awesome is that?!" She said as she took her phone back and begin scrolling through the blog. " Check out the number of views since I posted the video!" She said excitedly.
I could see Marinette's face fall as she clutched her jacket. "But, why do you trust Ladybug so much? All these stone beings..." Nettie trailed off in sadness.
" She's gonna handle em." Alya said cutting her off, enthusiasm lace in her voice.
" But what if she's not cut out to be a superhero even though everyone think she is?" Marinette countered.
"What is up with her today? Why is she so hyper focused on Ladybug like this? Is she really that afraid of what's been going on lately?" I thought to myself, keeping a close eye on Nettie.
I heard Alya chuckle while she put a hand on her hip. " What are you talking about girl?" She said as she then gasped. " Wait... I know what this is about. You're scared. But don't be! I seen her with my own two eyes girl! Ladybug is a true super heroine! She's gonna protect us all! I believe in her." Alya finished, a comforting smile on her face before she begin walking away.
Marinette stood there as she took in Alya's words. And in that moment, I felt compelled to give my sister some words of encouragement as well.
" Alya's right you know. I know that things may seem like they're getting really scary with these akuma things running amuck and transforming people and shit, but we have super hero's to protect us. Not only do we have Ladybug, but we have Chat Noir and Night Howl here to help as well. Don't work yourself up over it too much sis. Paris is gonna be alright." I told her.
I could see Nettie's eyes get misty before she blinked the unshed tears away.
" Shut up." She said as she pushed past me. She wiped her eyes, thinking that I couldn't see her before she turned back around to me, a smile on her face. " Thanks Zai. " She said to me.
I gave her a smile back, nodding my head to her. " Any time." I responded.
Marinette and I had looked to where Alya had walked to and seen her standing with a group of students who were all standing around Ivan, asking him questions and telling him things he did while he was akumatized.
" You were seriously out to crush me dude." Kim told him.
I cut my eyes over at Kim. " You were literally making fun of him yesterday, and you expected him to not go after your dumbass?" I thought to myself.
" Well you know what they say. Once a monster, always a monster." A familiar annoying voice spoke up.
I looked over, seeing that annoying blonde head girl leaning against one of the support beams, a smirk on her face as she folded her arms.
I could feel my eyes glaring and my top lip curling up in disgust and irritation at the blonde head girl. Like it doesn't cost anything to be a decent fucking human being but it seems like that's just impossible for her. She's really just a nasty person and I've only known her for less than a day.
I felt bad when seeing Ivan glare at Chloe before standing and stomping off, everyone moving out of his way as he did so.
" Don't let the door hit you on the way out." The blonde girl called out teasingly after Ivan.
Marinette, Alya, and I turned around to face the blonde head girl, glares beaming right at her.
" How could you say that to Ivan? You're the real stoneheart!" Alya said as she walked up on the blonde head girl, anger emitting from her.
" Ugh so I'm the one who broke Sabrina's dad's arm am I? Just because your footage of those lame superheroes were shown on TV doesn't mean you have to get so high and mighty." She said snottily as she blew a bubble with her gum and popped it in Alya's face.
I could see Alya clenching her fists as she as continued to glare at the blonde. I walked over to them, grabbing Alya's arm and pulling her away before she did something that would get her suspended or potentially expelled.
" That girl is not even worth your energy. Calm down, ok?" I told her, putting a hand on her shoulder.
Alya took a few deep breaths before nodding her head. " Alright girl, I'm good now." She said to me.
" Look out she's angry, she's gonna split her underwear and turn into a huge muscly monster." The blonde girl mocked as she started laughing.
" I swear I can't stand unfunny dumbass people." I said as I shook my head.
The blonde head girl must have heard me because she cut her eyes at me with a glare. " What did you say?" She questioned me.
I ignored her entire existence and pulled Alya along with me away from the whole situation. It was then that I had noticed that Marinette wasn't even with us anymore.
" I swear that girl is evil incarnate." Alya said to me as we were about to walk up the stairs until we noticed some commotion had started up once again.
We turned around and saw the blonde girl running up to a blonde boy, throwing her arms around his neck and hugging him to herself.
" Ugh." I said in disgust. " Just what we need. More people like her to terrorize the school." I said to myself, turning back around to continue making my way up the stairs.
✯¸.•'*¨'*•✿ ✿•*'¨*'•.¸✯
Alya and I had split up, her going to the bathroom and me going on to the classroom, even though class hadn't started yet. I yawned as I took out my phone and my earphones, putting them in and going to Apple Music, putting on my Meg Thee Stallion playlist.
The volume was on low, so I could still hear what was going on around me, and not soon after I heard some talking coming from outside of the room.
" Can I have your autograph please?" "Omg Adrien I love you! I'm a huge fun! Can I please have your autograph?" Were just some of the things I was able to catch as I noticed the two blondes enter the room.
" Wow! This is your seat Adrikins!" The blonde girl said as she pointed to the seat in the front that was next to the boy with the headphones from yesterday. " I saved it for you, right in front of me!" The girl stated proudly.
Ugh. Their voices, especially her were grating on my nerves, so I picked up my phone and turns the volume up to the maximum volume and turned my attention to the window where I just stared at the sky.
I had only begin paying attention to my surroundings when I noticed my sister and Alya had finally walked into the classroom. She looked upset, so I took off my earphone to hear what was going on.
" Ok I get it. Good job you 3, very funny." She said aggravated.
It was then that I noticed that the blonde boy was leaned down next to Marinette's chair doing something.
" No no! I was just trying to take this off!" He said standing to his feet, trying to explain.
" Oh really?" Nettie said as she got into his face with a glare, then turned her nose up at him as she took her backpack off and kneeled down beside her seat and tried to peel something off of it before making a disgusted face and going into her bag and pulling out a tissue and laying it on what I was guessing was gum.
And guessing by the laughter of those two dumbass girls, I just know they were the ones who put it on their.
" You're friends with Chloe right?" Nettie asked him.
" Why do people keep saying that?" The boy questioned.
Netties frowned at him. Letting out a annoyed " hmpf" before sitting in her seat and ignoring the boys presence.
The boy sulked back over to his seat as the blonde girl begin speaking again. " Now do you see what I mean by respect?" She asked him but he didn't reply back, he only continued sulking.
I rolled my eyes at the whole scene that had just taken place. "It's always something in this damn school. " I thought to myself as I turned my music back up half way so that I could still hear, then I put my head on my table, closing my eyes for a bit.
Another five minutes had passed by when I could hear the click clack of heels enter the room.
" Good morning class." Mrs. Bustier called out, getting a reply back from the students. " I'm gonna take roll call quickly and we're gonna begin with class." She said, walking over to her desk and picking up her tablet.
I sat up, pausing my music and taking my earphones out as she begin to call out names.
" Agreste, Adrien." She said first.
There wasn't answer back as Mrs. Bustier looked around the room.
I noticed the boy with the headphone whisper something to the blonde head boy, because a second after, he sprung up from his seat yelling " Present!"
The class started laughing and I couldn't help but roll my eyes. I couldn't stand class clowns.
" Bourgeois, Chloe." Mrs. Bustier called next.
" Present." The blonde girl called out happily.
" Bruel, Ivan-"
Mrs. Bustier didn't even get to get her words out before the same rock giant from yesterday burst through the wall of the classroom. " Present!" It called out.
The students in the classroom begin screaming in panic.
" Mylene!" Stoneheart called out as he begin walking around the room, heading towards a girl with colorful hair that look like twizzlers.
I stood up from my seat, looking at where my sister was only to see her hiding under a table.
" She's gonna be alright. I just have to find somewhere to transform so I can meet up with the others and put a stop to this once and for fucking all." I thought to myself.
I stood up from my chair and I noticed that stoneheart was preoccupied with going after the mylene girl, so I quickly made my way down the stairs, sneaking my way out of the classroom.
My heart was beating a mile a minute as I ran through the halls, not knowing exactly where I was going. I looked around and saw a bathroom sign and sighed in relief as I ran into the bathroom, going into one of the stalls and locking it.
I looked down, opening my pouch, watching as Luna flew out of it. " I don't know what the hell is going on. I thought we reverted Ivan back yesterday? And now there's other things like him all around the city that can be possible danger as well? Luna what do I do?" I asked her in distress.
" The holder of the Ladybug miraculous must have not captured the akuma and de-evilised it. If they did not revert the akuma back, then that akuma will multiply and spread to other innocent people and continue to reek havoc on the city until you capture the main akuma and de-evilise it." She explained.
" Ughhh Ladybug's Kwami must not have told her that, so she didn't know to do it. And now we're gonna have to defeat Stoneheart all over again." I whined.
" Nevermind that. The city of Paris needs you at the moment, so let's get a move on." Luna replied to me.
I nodded my head. " Right. Luna, let's howl!" I called out.
Just like yesterday, the magic flowed around me as I transformed into Night Howl. I came out of the stall, looking around the bathroom when I saw the window. I ran over to it, throwing it open and jumping out of it.
As quickly as I could while falling, I reached back, grabbing one pair of nunchucks and swung it up attaching it to the part of the building that had a piece protruding, the nunchuck wrapping around it and pulling me up on top of the building.
And that's when I had realized just how bad things were. From where I stood I could see so many different stone beings destroying different parts of the city. Destroying buildings, throwing cars, throwing people. It was absolutely horrible. I actually felt sick to my stomach.
But at this moment I couldn't think about that. I had to focus on the bigger picture; reverting Ivan back again, then making sure Ladybug captures his akuma this time.
My thoughts were interrupted as I saw a familiar black clad cat boy propelling through the air on a silver staff, and I immediately begin following.
My hair whipped around me as I soared through the air, following after Chat Noir. My eyes had zeroed in on one of the stone beings that had two people clutched in both of its fists. The same two girls that were in my class. So this had to be the original Stoneheart.
" You have no idea who you're dealing with. My daddy, the mayor will bring in the police, the army, the entire calvary!" I could hear Chloe saying to the beast.
" And don't forget the superheros !" My suspicions were confirmed when I saw Chat flying down, striking Stoneheart in the head with his staff.
I groaned, watching as the monster grew in size even more. " That cat never learns does he?" I said to myself.
I had enough observing, so I hopped off of the building, landing right next to Chat, turning to him with my arms folded and an irritated look on my face. " Really kitty? Did you not learn from yesterday." I said to him.
He smiled sheepishly, scratching the back of his neck awkwardly. " I admit. I kind of jumped the gun a bit." He responded.
" Super incompetent you mean?" I heard Chloe say under her breath.
It's was truly amazing to see that even in the face of danger, that girl is gonna find a way to be nasty to someone.
I shook my head to get back focused when I noticed Stoneheart getting agitated. " Ha. You wanted the calvary? Well here it is!" He yelled.
At that moment, it was as if Stoneheart had a beacon and all the other rock giants came running to our direction, encircling Chat and I on all sides.
" Oh man..." I said exasperatedly.
" Seize them!" Stoneheart yelled, pointing at us.
"Shit." I exclaimed as one of the rock people lunged at me, attempting to catch me. I ran and jumped out of the way, rolling on the ground before hopping back to to my feet, only having to do it again when another giant tried to grab me.
" I'm getting a bit fed up here." I said dodging another hand.
I heard the voice of Mylene demanding Ivan to let her go as he begin walking away with both her and Chloe still clutched in his grasp.
" Chat what are we gonna do. We can't hit them cause they'll just get stronger, but we can just keep jumping around like this, it's not gonna solve anything." I yelled to him as another hand came down trying to capture me causing me to jump and flip out of the way. " and where is Ladybug?" I yelled landing next to Chat.
" I don't know but if you can hear me Ladybug, we could use a little help!" Chat yelled.
" Oh shit!!" I yelled as I saw a car flying our way.
I felt Chat's arm wrap around my waist as he yanked me out of the way, jumping back as the car came crashing down in front of us.
My eyes were wide and my heart was beating sporadically. " I was almost crushed by a car..." I said absentmindedly.
" and you're really gonna be crushed if you don't snap of it and look out!" Chat said as he grabbed me again, moving us out of the way as another car came flying down.
I nodded at his words, then turned around when I heard a pair of feet running. I would say I was surprised to see that it was Alya, but I wasn't surprised in the slightest.
I gasped when I saw a car fly above Chat and I, headed right towards Alya. " Move out the way!" I yelled at her, but it was too late.
I was about to run to her but in just a quick second Chat had thrown his staff and it extended blocking the car from hitting Alya, although it had trapped her behind it.
I made a move to run to her but an extremely large and hard hand wrapped around me, smushing me against Chat as the giant begin to walk away with us struggling against its hold.
" Let go you rock head." Chat yelled as he struggled to release himself from the rock giants hold, kicking his legs wildly to no avail.
" Ugh let me go you asshole!" I yelled.
I gasped as I felt the rock giant grip is tighter and tighter. " L-Let us go! C-chat, it's getting hard to breathe." I told him as I tried to push against the hand but it didn't budge.
" Don't worry wolfie, I know Ladybug will come to help us." He said, his voice starting to sound winded as well.
My anxiety was beginning to spike, and I knew soon I would start hyperventilating. I tried to control my breathing but it was getting harder to do that.
I felt my eyes begin to water as I begin kicking my feet around, anger and panic taking over me. " Let me the fuck go!" I screamed as the tears begin falling down my face.
" Wolfie. Wolfie calm down!" Chat said to me. " It's gonna be ok." He told me in a soft voice.
" I- I'm trying." I told him, trying to regulate my breathing.
" Chat noir! Extend it!" I heard a familiar voice yell.
Chat's staff was thrown into the giants fist and chat was able to grab it and press the green cat paw button and extended it, forcing the rock giant to release the both of us.
We both fell to the ground, tumbling as we landed, yet at that point I wasn't even worried about the fall, I was focusing on getting my breathing back on point so that I could think straight.
" Wolfie are you alright?" Chat asked, concern shining in his gaze as he placed his hands on my shoulders.
I couldn't even respond, I just gave him a nod. Right now all I wanted to do was focus on my breathing.
" You guys get out the way!" I could hear Ladybug's voice yell as her yo-yo strings came wrapping around Chat and I and pulling us up to where we dangled from the light pole, high enough where the rock giants couldn't grab us.
" Sorry I was late." Ladybug said to us apologetically.
" M'Lady have I ever told you, you turned my world upside down." Chat responded to her giving her a wink.
" Oooh you're quite the jokester aren't you?" She said to him with a smile.
It was then that that rock giants started growling in anger as they begin to surround us again.
" But you're comedic timing needs work. We gotta get out of here!" She said as she stood and propelled herself off of the light pole, pulling us along with her, and at the same time loosening and removing her strings from around us so we could land on our feet on top of the buildings roof.
Ladybug and Chat Noir took off running and hopping from the top of building to building in a certain direction. I stayed back. I really needed a moment of time by myself to really calm myself down.
So much happened all at once and I don't even know how I feel right now. I looked around to make sure Ladybug and Chat weren't around, then I walked to the middle of the building so no one below would be able to see me.
" Luna, howls off." I said.
Luna came flying out of my pendant before she flew back over to me, concern on her little face. " Zaierre are you alright?" She asked me.
" I.... I don't know." I told her.
" Hey look at me. Just take some deep breaths and clear your mind. You are alright. Your teammates are alright. Everything is gonna be ok." She said to me in a calming voice as I did as she said and took some deep breaths in and out.
About five minutes had passed by but I was feeling a bit better. " Alright Luna, I'm ok now." I told her.
" Are you sure?" She asked me.
" Yeah. I'm gonna be fine. I need to go and find Ladybug and Chat though. I need to make sure everyone is ok." I told her.
She only nodded her head as I called out, " Luna, let's howl!" And I was off again.
✯¸.•'*¨'*•✿ ✿•*'¨*'•.¸✯
I hopped down off of the huge golden building and landed near Chat and Ladybug.
" Hey are you alright. I heard you were having a tough time back there." Ladybug asked me, putting a hand on my shoulder with a concerned look.
" I'm fine now, I just needed a moment alone to get myself together." I told her.
She nodded her head.
It was then that we heard someone speaking on a megaphone.
" I demand my daughters safe return!" The mayor of the city yelled into the microphone.
" Daddyyyyyyy!" Chloe cried out.
Stone heart, who stood on one of the beams of the Eiffel Tower looked at Chloe who was still clutched in his grasp with disgust, before looking back at the mayor.
" You know what? You're welcome to her." He said as he cocked his arm back and threw her.
Ladybug was quick as she ran, catching Chloe in her arms just as she was about to hit the ground.
Some words were exchanged between the two before Chloe pushed herself out of Ladybug's arms and ran over to her father, and the two embraced.
" We're cleared to attack." One of the police officers said as he pointed to the direction of Stoneheart.
" Wait! Please don't attack them, you know it'll only make things worse!" Ladybug pleaded.
" I have a new plan unlike you! Now move aside and let the pros do their thing. You've already failed once!" He said yelling at her.
Ladybug gasped at his words, her face falling in shame as she looked away from him. " He's right you know. If I had captured Stoneheart's akuma the first time around, non of this would have happened. I knew I wasn't the right one for this job." She said sadly as she cover her face with her eyes.
My angry eyes shifted from the officer and softened as I looked over at Ladybug.
" No he's wrong." Chat started, putting his hand on her shoulder as he spoke. " Because without us, they wouldn't make it, and we're gonna prove it to them. Trust me on this, ok?" He told her with an encouraging smile.
" Ladybug, this is new to all of us. No one is perfect, but we get the job done. Even though we're superheroes, we're still human and we make mistakes. Don't let his words get to you." I told her with a smile.
Ladybug gave us a smile back. " Ok!" She said to us.
A loud booming rawr had sounded grabbing our attention, then there was a strangled cough. We turned our attention up to Stoneheart who looked like he was choking on something before he let out a strangled yell, a humongous group of dark purple butterflies flying from his mouth to form an image of a person's head as he fell to the ground.
"People of Paris, listen carefully." The person said in a deep menacing voice. " I am Hawkmoth." He said.
" Hawkmoth?" We all called out, confusion lacing our tone.
" Ladybug, Chat Noir, Night Howl, bring me the ladybug earrings, the cat ring and the wolf necklace now! You've done enough damage to these innocent people." He told us.
My eyebrows furrowed at his words.
I heard the sound of clapping and looked over at Ladybug who had begin walking in the direction of the butterfly imagine of Hawkmoth. " Nice try Hawkmoth, but we know who the real villain is. Let's not reverse the roll here. Without you, non of these innocent victims would be transformed into villains. Hawkmoth no matter how long it takes, we will find you and you will be the one handing us your miraculous!" Ladybug yelled at him.
Ladybug had begin running towards the Hawkmoth image, twirling her yo-yo, using it as a means to propel herself up as she started to swing her yo-yo into the group of butterflies, catching and capturing them. " Time to de-evilise!" She shouted.
The Hawkmoth image begin to groan as she captured more and more, only stopping when she captured all of them.
I couldn't help but stare in awe at her as she landed on the railing of the Eiffel Tower, turning around to address the citizens.
" People of Paris let me make this promise to you." She started, her voice loud and strong. " No matter who wants to harm you, Ladybug, Chat Noir, and Night Howl will do everything in our power to keep you safe!" She said as she took her yo-yo from around her hip, opening it up as a huge beam of white butterflies shot out from it.
" Oh my." I said in awe, watching as the butterflies started flying around.
" Wow." I heard Chat say in awe as well. " Who ever it is behind that mask, I love that girl." He said aloud.
" Love?" I said in my head confused.
" Help me!" I could hear the desperate voice of Mylene cry out as she waved her hands back and forth.
And at that, we were back in action. Chat and I had begun running, I took out a pair of my nunchucks and he took out his staff and we both propelled ourselves up to the rail where Stoneheart stood with Mylene in his clutches, Ladybug was already there waiting for us.
Stoneheart jumped up onto one of the support beams, " Youll never take my Mylene away from me." He said as he begin climbing up. " Come to me my stone beings." He called out to the other rock giants.
I looked down over the railing and noticed the other rock giants begin climbing up the Eiffel Tower.
" Guys they're coming up." I told my teammates.
Chat hopped up on the railing and begin looking down at the stone beings as well before coming back over to us. " We're surrounded. What do we do now? We can't attack them." Chat said to us.
" Yeah, but this time we know exactly where his akuma is." I said to him.
" Oh yeah. It's in his clenched fist, the one he's holding Mylene with. So?" Chat trailed off.
" So we know he's in love with her..." Ladybug stated then she let out a gasp. "That's it! We don't separate Stoneheart and Mylene! We bring them closer together! They were made for one another! It's just that they don't know it yet." Ladybug said excitedly as she ran and jumped off of the railing, swinging away on her yo-yo.
" Uhh I'm not really following you, but I guess I better trust you. I have a feeling that that's how things are gonna be from now on." He said with a shrug as he looked at me.
I shook my head as I hopped on the ledge, throwing my nunchuck up, flying away as it retracted.
" So you're just gonna leave me like that?!" Chat yelled up at me.
I looked down at him sticking out my tongue before turning around and continuing to jump up the Eiffel Tower until we reached the very top.
Mylene looked up and saw us. I felt bad when I saw the absolute feat in her eyes as she reached her hands out to us. " Help me please! I'm afraid of heights!" She cried out.
" Don't worry! You're gonna be alright I promise!" I called back out to her.
There was so much chaos going on. Stoneheart, his stone beings, the helicopters that were flying around everywhere.
Stoneheart heart let out a loud rawr again, so loud that it blasted the helicopter's back and shook the tower, making me loose my balance as I begin falling down to the platform that Chat was on.
" Ow! Shit!" I called out, rubbing the back of my head before quickly hopping up and dodging a hand from the stone being that tried to capture me.
Chat hopped over to me, his back against mine as we stood guard, watching each other's back.
" How you planning to get them closer than they already are?" Chat called up to Ladybug.
" By using our powers!" She said with a smirk. " Lucky charm!" She called out, activating her power.
I looked up to see Ladybug holding some type of...bag? I couldn't really tell from here.
" A parachute? What am I supposed to do with this?" She asked confusedly.
My attention had been taken from Ladybug and put on Chat when I heard him let out a yell. I looked behind me to see him no longer there as he had been thrown through the air by a stone being.
I'm sorry, I couldn't help but let out a small chuckle at his face.
" You sure you know what you're doing?" He called out to Ladybug.
" We're gonna find out soon enough." She responded to him as she put the parachute on.
I dodged a hand coming at me, and flipping back when another hand tried to grab me as well. " You guys are really getting on my damn nerves." I said out loud.
Wait. Maybe I could try using my own power and strip them of their power. They obviously have some type of super strength, let's see how tough they are without it.
" Howl of confiscation!" I yelled out.
My power activated and I could literally see the sound waves of my yell so I grabbed them, and aimed it at every stone being that I saw.
Instantly they went weak and instead of trying to grab at me, they were trying to hold on to the Eiffel Tower so that they wouldn't fall down.
The sound wave had faded from my hand but the stone beings still hadn't gotten their strength back. " So that's how it works. I just have to aim the sound wave at who I'm aiming for until the sound wave disappears." I thought to myself.
" His hand! Get ready!" I heard Ladybug call out, throwing her yo-yo and wrapping it around Stoneheart's hand and gave a harsh tug making Stoneheart and Mylene kiss.
Stoneheart gasped in surprise, releasing Mylene and the alumitized object.
Chat jumped into action quickly, hopping off of the tower and using his staff to hit the akumitized object back up to Ladybug.
I heard Mylene crying out for help as she continued to fall.
" Home run!" Ladybug called out excitedly as she used her yo-yo to capture the akuma and crushed the object with its strings. " No more evil doing for you little akuma." She said opening her yo-yo up. " Time to de-evilise-" Ladybug cut herself off as she looked down.
I looked down as well seeing Ivan had transformed back into his civilian self. His grip was weak as he held on to the support beam and I let out a gasp when I saw his hand slip and he begin to fall.
" Chat get Ivan! Night Howl, please get Mylene! I'll handle the akuma!" She yelled to us.
I wasted no time in jumping off of the ledge, I didn't know what was going on with Chat, but all I heard was him calling out his cataclysm as I took my nunchuck and threw it, letting it wrap around Mylene's waist and pulling her back up to me, wrapping my arm securely around her.
I turned us around, seeing chat already walking back to the safety of the tower with Ivan in his arms, so that made me turn my attention at his staff that he walked on that was still protruding from the tower. I aimed my nunchuck at it and threw it, letting it wrap around it, stopping our fall instantly.
" Oh my gosh." I let out, relieved that Mylene was safe.
I tugged on my nunchuck and the chain begin retracting, pulling us back up to the tower where Chat and Ivan were waiting. I held Mylene in my arms, carrying her across the extended staff, hopping down, and finally releasing her when I knew she was safe and sound.
I let myself collapse to the ground with a sigh.
" Did you see yourself Wolfie? You were absolutely amazing." Chat said to me as he walked over to me, ruffling my hair.
I glared up at him, slapping his hand away from my hair as he laughed. " Thanks." I replied to him.
I saw Ladybug floating down passed us with the parachute, lading on the ground safely.
" We should get down there with her." I told to Chat as he held his hand out to help me stand.
✯¸.•'*¨'*•✿ ✿•*'¨*'•.¸✯
We walked up behind Ladybug, Chat supporting Ivan and me with my hand over Mylene's shoulder.
" Bye bye little butterfly." Ladybug said softly as she released the little white butterfly form her yo-yo. " Miraculous Ladybug!" She called out, throwing the parachute up in the air.
I was once again in awe when I saw the parachute literally turning into hundreds of thousands of magical little ladybug's, flying around and fixing the damage that were made from the akuma's.
Injuries that were caused were healed, cars that were thrown had been repaired, buildings that had been destroyed were repaired, stone being had returned to their civilian selves and placed safely on the ground.
" Woah. Are you seeing what I'm seeing?" Chat asked in amazement.
" It's so pretty." I said in awe as well.
" Yeah. It's beautiful and amazing." Ladybug called out, holding her hand out as the little ladybugs ran over her hand. " It's... it's miraculous!" She called out.
Ladybug went over to Ivan and Mylene and begin having a conversation with them.
" Hey my wolfie. Are you ok?" He asked me, walking over and throwing his arm around my shoulder.
I let out a sigh, throwing my head back against him. " Yeah. I'm just glad that this is over... for now." I told him.
" Yeah... I know exactly what you mean." He said with a relieved sigh.
Ladybug had walked back over to us as we all watched Mylene give Ivan a hug.
" Awe they are so made for each other." Ladybug said as she gushed over the two.
" Hmm maybe like the two of us." Chat said as he wrapped his other arm around me, giving me a full back hug.
My eyes had widen, and my face had begin to heat up.
*beep beep beep*
Simultaneously all of our miraculous had begun to beep, signaling that we were all about to transform back soon.
" Uh-oh you see that? Time to split." Ladybug said as she turned to head off, " See you later Night Howl, Chat Noir." She said with a wave as she ran off, disappearing into the horizon.
" Yeah, umm it's about time I head out as well, wouldn't wanting you finding out my secret identity would we?" I said to him, un-wrapping his arms from around me as I took out my nunchuck.
" Well not just yet anyways." He said to me with a wink as our miraculous' begin flashing and beeping again.
I gave out a chuckle and a shake of my head. " I'll see you next time kitty." I said to him, and begin to run off as well, swinging my nunchuck in a circle before letting it catch on to a building, then I begin to make my way home.
✯¸.•'*¨'*•✿ ✿•*'¨*'•.¸✯
Marinette, Alya and I arrived at school the next morning. The school was still buzzing about the akuma attack that had happened yesterday, and of course Alya was gonna be talking about it as well.
" So by the time I had biked to the Eiffel Tower, it was all over. I'm way bummed." Alya said with a pout.
" Don't worry. You'll get your scoop eventually." Nettie said, trying to cheer her up.
" Yeah. At least you were safe and out of harms way." I said to her, remembering back to how she was almost crushed by a thrown car.
" You guys are right. Next target, Ladybug an exclusive interview." Alya said with a smile.
" Ooh sounds exciting!" Marinette said as she fanned her face dramatically.
" Oh wait, even better. Finding out who's really under that mask." She said as she walked up the stairs of the school.
"Uh-huh good luck with that one." Nettie replied as she walked behind Alya.
I had to stop and pause. Firstly cause I needed to tie my shoe, which I bent down and did quickly, and then I needed to fix my hair back into its bun.
All that running around had made me sweat my silk press out, so last night I washed my hair and let my curls revert back. Now I'm just about to throw it into a neat messy bun.
I took out my brush, and brushed the sides up a bit, and just as I was about to put it into the hair tie, someone had bumped into me, causing both of us to fall to the ground with a grunt.
" Shit that hurts." I cried out to myself.
I heard groaning coming from behind me and I turned my head to see the blonde boy that's friends with Chloe's.
" Just great. Now I have to deal with a brat this early in the morning." I thought to myself with a sigh.
I rubbed my head about to stand up when a hand was offered out to me.
I stared at the hand that belonged to the blonde boy, then looked up at him.
" I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to run into you and knock you over. I wasn't paying attention to where I was going." He said to me apologetically.
My eyes went wide. I couldn't believe this, he was actually apologizing?
I took his hand in mine as he pulled me up to stand again.
" I'm Adrien! Adrien Agreste, it's nice to meet you...?" He trailed on, not knowing my name.
" I'm Zaierre Du-Pain Cheng. It's nice to meet you as well." I told him, shaking the hand that he had outstretched again.
" I think I saw you in class yesterday, aren't you going to Mrs.Bustier's class?" He asked me.
" Yeah I am. I saw you in class yesterday as well. Hanging with that Chloe girl and putting gum in my sister's seat." I told him with a deep frown.
I could see Adrien's eyes go wide then he shook his head as he spoke. " No that was all a misunderstanding. I wasn't putting gum on her seat, I was trying to take it off, but she walked in and everything just got way out of hands." He said explaining to me.
I took in his words and from his tone he doesn't seem like he's lying, so I think I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt.
" Alright. I believe you. I hope I don't regret that ." I said eyeing him.
" You won't! I promise I'm not like that. Like Chloe. I know she's a little tough around the edges, but Chloe's kind of the only friend I've ever had before. I've never been to school before. I've always been homeschooled." He said to me as we begin walking as we heard the first bell sound.
" Hey don't sweat it. I understand. This is my first time being in public school too. But it does seem to me that it's time that you make some more friends." I said to him.
" Yeah? Well how about you?" He said looking at me with innocent green eyes.
" I-" I wasn't able to respond properly as I looked back into his eyes. I could feel my face heating up so I quickly looked away. " Um yeah sure we can be friends. I don't have many either." I told him.
" Maybe us homeschoolers should stick together, huh?" He said jokingly.
" Right." I said absentmindedly.
We continued on our way to Mrs.Bustier's class, making it inside the classroom just in time to hear the commotion that was going on.
" Ahem you're in the wrong seats." I heard Chloe say as she walked up to Nettie and Alya who had reclaimed their original seats. " Go on get lost!" Chloe yelled as she pointed to the seats that she all but forced my sister to sit in yesterday.
I rolled my eyes. It was something everyday with this girl. I was really fed up with her, but as soon as I was about to open my mouth to say something, Marinette had already beat me it the punch.
" All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good people do nothing." Marinette said proudly as she place her head in her hands as she looked Chloe head on.
" And what's that supposed to mean?" Chloe said as she rolled her eyes.
" It means my sister won't be taking any of your shit anymore Cassidy and neither is anybody else in this classroom." I said mockingly as I was liked you the few steps and stood next to Marinette.
" Exactly. So take your stuff and go on get lost!" Nettie said as she stood from her seat and pointed at the table that Chloe was trying to force Marinette and Alya into.
The whole class begin laughing as Chloe started getting angry, but nonetheless she took her shit and went to the front table like Marinette told her to do.
" Got job sis." I whispered to her as I was about to turn and make my way to the back of the class where I usually sat at but Marinette grabbed my hand.
" Wait." She said as she stood and went to the table where I used to sit and got a chair, bringing it back down to her and Alya's table and put it in the middle for me to sit with them. " There, now you won't have to be back there all alone." She said to me with a smile. " And good job to you too." She said as we both sat down.
I knew she was talking about the fact that I actually opened my mouth to defend her. She's knows that I struggle with my social anxiety and knew how much it took me to actually say something.
I gave her a smile and a nod and that's when I noticed that Adrien had finally decided to take his seat that was at the table in front of us. He turned around to wave at us, I waved back, Alya smiled but Marinette being the stubborn girl that she is, turned her nose up at him and looked away.
Adrien turned his eyes to me as if begging for help. I gave an apologetic smile and shrugged.
He turned around in his seat and the boy at the table with him begin to have hushed conversation with each other.
✯¸.•'*¨'*•✿ ✿•*'¨*'•.¸✯
The school day had flew by in the blink of an eye, and next thing I knew, it was time to go home.
We had said our goodbyes to Alya and begin our trek down the stairs, and when we got to the front door and walked out, we had realized that it was pouring down rain that had literally come out of nowhere, so neither of us had thought to bring an umbrella.
I sighed. " At least I don't have to worry about getting my hair wet anymore." I said to myself , holding my hand out and feeling my hand being pelted by the rain.
"Hey." I heard the voice of Adrien say behind me, and I turned around to see him trying to talk to my sister again.
And once again, she turned her nose up at him and looked away.
Adrien then looked at me again, pouting his lips at me. I had to hold my laugh in as I walked over to Marinette.
"Sissy, at least hear him out." I whispered to her, trying to butter her up so she won't be as harsh.
Adrien had a sad frown on his face as he opened his umbrella and took a few steps before looking back at Nettie. " I just wanted you to know, that I was only trying to take the chewing gum off of your seat. I swear." He started. His tone sad as he spoke. " I've never been to school before. I've never had friends. It's all sort of, new to me. I heard that it's the same for Zaierre." He continued with a smile as he turned around and handed Nettie his umbrella.
It was quiet as the two stared at each other, trying to gauge each other's next move or word. Until Marinette finally took the umbrella out of Adrien's hand, shyly jumping when their fingers touched.
Marinette continued to look at him in awe, when suddenly the umbrella snapped closed on her, encasing her whole head.
It was quiet for a second until we all burst out with laughter. I went over to Marinette, fixing the umbrella and getting under it with her.
" See you both tomorrow." Adrien stated as he begin walking to get into his car.
Marinette continued to stare after him, dropping her bag in the process. " Uh-huh see you tom- ta uhhh woahhh why am I stammering?" She questioned herself.
" Cause you're a weirdo." I said teasingly to her.
She glared over at me as she took off running wit the umbrella. " No umbrella for you since you wanna be a smart ass." She said sticking her tongue out as she turned and kept running.
" Wait Nettie I'm sorry! I don't wanna get sick! Come back!" I yelled, running after her.
" Let me style your hair in the morning and I'll think about forgiving and letting you get some umbrella." She told me.
" Hell no. Last time I let you style my hair, I had all kinds of tangles. Never again." I said to her firmly.
" But I'm so much better now! I didn't know what I was doing before and now I do!" She said to me with a pout.
I sighed. " I'll give you one chance to redeem yourself, but if you mess up this time, I'm never letting you touch my hair again." I told her.
" Ok ok fine! Deal. Now come on and let's get home before the rain get even worse." She said as she offered the umbrella out to me.
I ran and got under it too as we continued on our way home.

Chapter Text
Zaierre's Pov
I sat on the couch, my head leaned against my fist as I flipped through the channels on the TV. Not only was I bored out of my mind at the moment, I was slightly annoyed too.
" I told you, you can't touch that because it's something new that I'm working on!" I heard Marinette's voice ring out as a pair of feet followed by another pair ran down the stairs, coming straight to my direction.
" I just wanna try it on!" A smaller voice replied back.
I let out a yawn and continued flipping through the channels and settled on watching some type of competition that was going on. Something about a weather girl.
" Come on Manon, give that back!" I heard Marinette yell as she chased a small girl around the living room.
" But I wanna be a fashion designer too!" The small girl said as she placed the hat on her head with a happy smile, jumping off of the back of the couch as Marinette tried to catch her again.
I sighed to myself.
" Manon please it's not finished! You're gonna ruin it." Marinette pleaded as she continued to chase after the little girl to no avail.
I looked over just in time to see Marinette chasing Manon under the table, smacking her head against the table as she tried to grab her.
I rolled my eyes. " Marinette you go through this every time you agree to watch Manon, and somehow you always forget to put up the things that you don't want being touched." I said to her, letting out a puff of amused air when I saw her rubbing her bruised head as she stood back to her feet.
" Yeah cause it's such short notice and I always forget." She replied to me. " and shut up laughing and help me catch her." Marinette said to me.
" I can't." I told her as I then turned my attention back to the tv. " I'm busy."
" Busy? You're literally sitting on the couch doing nothing." She replied back to me, folding her arms.
" Correction. I'm sitting on the couch watching tv. Therefore, I'm doing something." I said back to her, a smug look coming across my face.
Marinette sighed, rolling her eyes at me as she turned and began scanning her eyes around the room for the small child when she looked over at the curtain with a grin.
Marinette placed her finger on her lips, silently shushing me as she tiptoed over to the curtain that actually did look like someone was behind it, but as she pulled the curtain back, there was nothing but a doll sitting on a stool.
I let out a laugh, seeing Manon walk over to stand in front of the tv with Marinette's phone in her hand. " I'm gonna vote for mireille. She's the best!" Manon cheered as she began trying to unlock Marinette's phone.
" Hey! My phone." Marinette whined as she walked over, taking her phone from Manon's hands and in retaliation Manon jumped up and snatched the hat out of Marinette's hands and took off running again.
Marinette groaned, a tired look coming across her face. " Why did I agree to this again?" She asked herself.
" Because you're a pushover who don't know how to say no?" I questioned back.
" I didn't ask you." Marinette said as she glared at me.
Our attention was both captured by the door when we heard the doorbell ring. I knew Nettie was going to go and open it, so I turned my attention back to the tv.
" Alya?" I heard Marinette call out in surprise.
I looked over and saw Alya standing at the door in her usual attire. " Hey I gotta huge scoop for you!" Alya said as she talked expressively with her hands. " Guess who's at a photo shoot in the park!" Alya said excitedly as she shoved her phone in Nettie's face showing her something on the screen.
Marinette's face had a look of confusion until she had taken a good look at Alya's screen, then she gasped as a gigantic smile crossed her face as she begin to get excited as well. " Now?! Adrien is in the park right now?!" She yelled in excitement.
" Mhm. As we speak." Alya said crossing her arms and nodding her head with a smug look on her face.
I frowned at their words as I listened to their conversation. " Here we go." I said to myself as I continued to listen, snatching my phone up when I saw Manon trying to creep over and grab it.
" Oh gosh! What am I gonna say to him." Marinette asked, her confidence slightly slipping as she continued to stare at the picture on Alya's phone.
" The same thing as usual. I- uh umm dahh." Alya replied to her in a mocking voice, mimicking how Marinette would act around Adrien.
" Stop it." Marinette said with a laugh as she poked Alya's shoulder.
After about 5 times of trying to get my phone, Manon had finally given up and walked away from me, sticking out her tongue and calling me a meanie which I returned back to her.
She then walked over to Marinette, standing in between her legs and holding on to them as she interrupted Alya and Marinette's conversation.
" Uhhh who's she?" The little girl questioned as she stared up at Alya with an intrigued look on her face.
" Whoops I guess I forgot about this little detail." Nettie said with a sheepish look as she awkwardly itched the back of her neck.
" And who is she?" Alya questioned back, looking down at Manon with a small wave.
" That's Manon. She's a little gremlin that crawled out from the pits of- " I started but was cut off by Marinette looking over at me with a glare.
" She's one of our mom's friend's daughter. I'm watching her all afternoon." Nettie begin explaining when she then let out a loud gasp. " Oh no! I can't go out!" Netties whined out as she groaned.
Alya then looked over at me with a knowing look and I looked back at her with the same look.
" Let me guess. Another 'you couldn't say no' favor." Alya questioned, her hands on her hips as she already knew the answer.
" Noooo." Nettie drawled out. " I just- couldn't say- nooo..." She whined again, her shoulders slumping.
" Look it's no problem! I'll look after your little detail for you." Alya said to her, trying to cheer her up.
At that time, Manon had gotten tired of standing around listening to their conversation, she she moved from between Marinette's legs and took off running again, prompting Marinette to let out another exhausted sigh.
" Thanks but I'm responsible for her. Besides I couldn't do that to you. She's- " Marinette trailed off.
" A little demon." I supplied her with the words.
" An absolute angel." Marinette said ignoring my words, letting out a scream when we heard something crash down to the ground as she took off running after Manon who had went into the kitchen and got out a cooking pot and a spatula, knocking over an assortment of other dishes.
" Manon, go and put those back where you got them and sit down somewhere!" I told her as I finally stood to my feet.
The little girl ignored my words as she ran out of the kitchen, dodging Marinette's hands when she tried to grab her. Marinette chased her back into the living room, only being able to grab the pot from her hands as she quickly hopped over the couch and escaped Marinette's grasp.
" Manon put that back!" Marinette said as she sat the pot down on the back of the couch and ran around the couch to try and catch the little girl again, only to be dodged as Manon had run back around the couch and grabbed the pot again.
Marinette let out a groan and Manon let out a laugh as she ran back into the kitchen with Marinette hot on her heels.
I walked over to the couch and stood next to Alya who leaned against the couch and watched as Marinette grabbed Manon's wrist and begin pulling her back into the living room with the little girl whining, trying to escape her grasp.
" You're just a pushover Marinette." Alya told her as I nodded my head in agreement. " I have to babysit my sisters all the time, which makes me an expert in dealing with 'angels' " Alya said her.
" I told her she's a pushover but she doesn't want to listen to me." I said to Alya.
Manon looked up at Alya with a stank face. " Who are you anyways?" The little girl asked with serious attitude in her voice.
Alya bent down to her height. " I am a mythical unicorn from the world of reespa, disguised as a totally fabulous human girl. I grant magical wishes, but only to little monkeys who behave." Alya said booping Manon on the nose affectionately.
Manon hung on to every word Alya said, then she giggled and looked at Alya disbelieving. " No you're not..... are you?" She questioned as she blinked in contemplation.
It was then that Alya picked the girl up and swung her around. Manon screamed in excitement as she laughed, then Alya sat Manon on Marinette's neck and made sure that Manon was hanging on safely.
" Okayyy let's all go to the park!" Alya said as she flicked Marinette's chin. " Zai, are you coming?" She asked me.
I nodded my head at her. " Let me go and grab my phone and bag really quick." I said to her as I turned and made my way over to the stairs, quickly running up to my room to grab my pouch, making sure that Luna was alright, then I grabbed my phone and earphones, before I made my way back down the stairs.
" Alright, let's head out." I said to them.
✯¸.•'*¨'*•✿ ✿•*'¨*'•.¸✯
I had a deep frown on my face as I let out a sigh. "How did I let you stalkers convince me to do this?" I said to them as we all stood hiding behind a tree, watching as the photographer was capturing all the poses that Adrien was throwing out.
" Shhhhh!" Marinette said shushing me.
I glared down at her as I moved from standing under Alya and just stood next to the tree. " Don't shush me you weirdo. Just go up and say hi if you wanna talk to him so bad." I said to her, rolling my eyes at her ridiculousness.
" For once, you're kind of right Zaierre. Come on. We're gonna stroll over there real cool as if we just so happen to be passing by." Nettie said to us.
" And then what?" Alya questioned with a smirk.
"Then.... I'll invite him out for a fruit smoothie at the end of the photo shoot. And then we'll get married and live happily ever after in a beautiful house, have two kids, no three, and get a dog, maybe a cat, no forget the cat and a hamster! I love hamsters!" Marinette spouted off as she had a far off look in her eyes as she clasped her hands together and her foot raised with a pop.
" Marinette Du-Pain Cheng you are such a weirdo, I swear." I said to her with a shake of my head.
" Let's just start with a happen to be passing by and see if we can end with that smoothie." Alya said interjecting.
Marinette laughed as she itched the back of her neck awkwardly. " Alright, come on." She told us as she begin to take big awkward steps in hopes of catching Adrien's attention. " Remember, just stay cool." She said to us.
" Nettie, you're the only one freaking out about this." I reminded her, only to be ignored.
Nonetheless, we all filled behind her, Alya first, Manon in the middle of us and then me. We continued walking behind Nettie as she continued on with her ridiculous strut until Alya spoke up.
" We couldn't be more invisible." She said to Marinette with a sigh.
" Marinette he's literally focusing on taking pictures. Why would you suggest walking behind him instead of in front to get his attention?" I questioned with a raised brow as we all stopped.
Marinette put on a thinking face before she nodded. " Ok let's start over." She told us as she pushed us back into a line, and we all begin walking in the opposite direction than before.
I sighed and shook my head. " This girl." I thought to myself.
I began walking as well, but what I didn't see was the upturned root that was sticking out of the ground that I ended up tripping over and falling to the ground. " Shit!" I cried out in pain.
" Ooooh Zaierre said a bad word!" Manon yelled out as she pointed at me, wagging her finger in a disapproving way.
" I guess that was one way to catch his attention." Alya said as she glanced over at Adrien who's attention had fallen over to us.
He had looked over with a concerned look on his face and looked as if he was about to get up to come over here but the photographer had voiced his disapproval.
" I'm sitting here on the ground with my palm and possibly my knee bleeding and the only thing my sister and my friend cares about is a boy. Thanks a lot guys. I really feel the love and concern." I said to them with a fake smile.
" Oh shut up. You'll live." Nettie said to me as she came over and held her hand out for me to take, which I did.
She helped me stand up and I looked down to see where I fell and saw that I had torn a hold into the knee of my legging. I rolled my eyes and sighed. " Just great." I mumbled to myself as Nettie help me walk over to a bench to sit down.
" Zai are you alright?" Alya asked as she walked over holding Manon's hand.
" Yeah. I was just joking around. I'm good Al, it's just a little scrape." I told her with a smile.
I turned my palm over and saw that it wasn't bleeding that much, it was just a little scrape, so I just wiped the blood off.
Then I bent my leg back and forth to work out the slight soreness.
" Are you able to walk?" Marinette questioned.
" Didn't I just walk over here to sit down?" I asked in a smart alec tone.
Nettie glared at me which made me burst out laughing. " Sis I'm just playing! I'm just playing!" I said holding my hands out as I saw that Marinette was about to pinch me.
" Yeah, you better be 'just playing' " She said to me while doing air quotations.
I laughed as I stood up to my feet. " Alright. What are we about to do Nettie?" I asked as I bent down to wipe away the dirt from off my tattered leggings.
" We're gonna go over there and wait for Adrien to get done with his photo shoot so we can talk to him." Marinette replied to me as she begin to make her way closer to where the fountain that Adrien was posing was at.
We were standing there for some time and not only was I beginning to get bored, but I could tell that Manon was as well from the sigh that kept leaving her lips.
I looked around to see if there were any kind of ice cream stand around but I didn't see one, but I did see a cart that had an assortment of balloons, so I walked closer to Manon and nudged her with my foot.
She looked up at me with an annoyed frown on her face, but I didn't say anything, I simply gestured to the ballon stand with my head. When she had turned her attention to what I was gesturing to, she let out a loud gasp jumping up to her feet and grabbing on to Marinette's hand.
" Marinette! I want a balloon with mireille on it! Can I?! Can I?!" She begged excitedly. A frown begin to form on her face again when she realized Marinette wasn't paying any attention to her. " Marinette?" She called out sadly.
I could see the anger building up in the little fire ball then she let out a loud, " Marinette!" Her scream causing everyone including Adrien's photographer to look over in anger at the photo shoot being interrupted. " Silencio!" He yelled at us.
But hardly anyone was paying him any attention. Manon continued to yell at Marinette, grabbing her arm and trying to pull her along to the balloon stand. " Come on!" She whined out.
Alya then hopped into action, going on her knee in front on Manon. " Come on small fry, I'll get you that ballon." She told her.
Manon frowned and shook her head. " No! I wanna go with Marinette!" She yelled as she attached herself to Marinette's thigh.
I frowned myself as I looked at the situation at hand. I was beginning to feel bad that I had a hand in causing this disturbance.
" I'll deal with it." Marinette said as she looked embarrassingly at the photographer, the bodyguard and Adrien himself who stood on watching what was taking place. " I am her babysitter." She said to Alya as she begin to make her way over to the ballon stand with Manon still attached to her thigh.
" But what about Adrien?" Alya called after her, chasing after the two.
I sighed and made my way to go and sit under the nearest tree to me. I took out my phone, unlocking it before going to my twitter app.
" You realize you are the cause of the little ones outburst, correct." The voice of Luna spoke up from my pouch that was still open.
" Yes I'm aware. I feel bad." I said responding to her.
" As you should. The child was quiet until you decided to tell her about the balloons." Luna told me.
I sighed again. " Luna I know. I wasn't trying to make her throw a tantrum, I just noticed that she was bored and thought that would make her happy or something." I explained myself.
Luna was about to to reply back to me, to lecture me some more no doubt but before she could, another voice spoke up, interrupted us. I quickly closed my pouch and looked up, shielding my eyes from the sun that was shining down into my eyes before I had realized that it was Adrien's photographer standing in front of me.
" You! I need an extra!" He shouted at me.
I couldn't hide the annoyed confused face that I made at his strange words. " What?" I asked confused.
" An extra! I need an extra to pose with Mr.Adrien." He repeated himself impatiently.
It didn't really click with me at first until my brain finally wanted to start working and I realized what he meant. " Oh no no no no no. Not me. I'm Im definitely not photogenic." I told him, then the whole balloon situation popped up in my head again, and I thought this would be a good way to make up for what I did. " But I know someone who is!" I said to him as I stood up to my feet. " Just give me one second." I said to him as I took off running in the direction of where I saw Marinette, Manon and Alya go.
✯¸.•'*¨'*•✿ ✿•*'¨*'•.¸✯
I stopped in front of Marinette, bent over and breathing harshly as I tried to catch my breath. " T- they need an extra to pose with Adrien, hurry and get your ass over there before they pick someone else!" I managed to get out as I pointed in the direction of Adrien and the photographer.
" What? Seriously?!" Nettie said with a gasp as she cupped her face in her hands, a dreamy look beginning to take over her face.
" Is that boy your boyfriend?" Manon asked innocently as she held onto the pony that was apart of the marry go round.
" What?! Nooooo... Yes? I mean noooo!" Marinette said indecisively.
I rolled my eyes at my sister, she really could be irritating at times.
" You're standing here wasting time. Don't get mad when they chose someone else." I said to her as I folded my arms.
" But what about Manon?" She asked me.
Alya then came over waving her finger and gesturing for Nettie to step aside, then she walked up and sat behind Manon on the marry go round. " You go take care of Prince Charming and I'll take care of ms. unicorn here. You don't know how to control her anyways" Alya said to her.
" No way!" Manon protested. " Marinette's my babysitter." She said as she looked up at Alya and stuck her tongue out.
Alya ignored her word and continued taking to Marinette. " Trust me." She told her before she turned her focus to Manon. " Unicorns unite! Let's go to reespa and find us some sad little village kids and grant those wishes! Yeeehaw!" She shouted out.
" Yeeehaw!" Manon said mimicking her in excitement, seemingly forgetting that she wanted to be with Marinette.
Marinette smiled at the scene before I grabbed her hand and begin pulling her along with me. We didn't even get a half way across the park before an ear piercing scream could be heard from behind us.
Both Nettie and I stopped in our tracks and turned to look back at what had caused the scream. I let out a gasp as all I saw was a giant gust of wind starting to throw people through the air harshly, until that huge gust of air then circled around the marry go round, where it started encasing it in ice.
" Oh my gosh. Alya! Manon!" I yelled worriedly.
Before I could even think to run over to the two trapped in the marry go round, a " Run!" was yelled at us by a man who ran past us, terror in his voice as he shouted.
It was then that another strong gust of wind flew by us. It lifted everyone in the vicinity up in the air. I tried to move my limbs so that I could hold on to Marinette, but I couldn't move as I was thrown across the air with a loud scream, landing arm first in a frost covered bush, far away from everyone else.
" Damn." I muttered to myself in pain, looking down at the bruise that was starting to form on my arm.
I put my hand on the ground after feeling around for a bit trying to find it, then I pushed my self up. I slipped a few times on the ice that covered around the bush but finally managed to get myself out of the bush. That was when I had looked around and realized that nobody was around me at the moment, not even Marinette. " Perfect." I said to myself.
" Luna I don't know what the hell is going on right now, but I know it has something to do with an akuma." I said as I opened my pouch and let her out of it. " It's time to transform. Luna, let's howl!" I called out .
After transforming into my superhero self, I took off in the direction of where the akumitized person had appeared.
Not long after I got there, I saw Ladybug standing by the ice covered marry go round that Alya and Manon were trapped behind.
" I'll get you out of there." I heard her yell as she she reared her arm back and threw her yo-yo, letting it wrap around the icy dome a couple of times. " Let's wire cut this icy cake." She said as she gave the yo-yo a harsh tug.
I watched as the string begin to lose its grip and slip off of the ice with the yo-yo flying back to Ladybug, striking her in the head and making her fall to the ground.
I let out a gasp as I ran over to her. " Damn bugaboo. Are you alright?" I asked her, helping her to stand back up to her feet.
" Yeah I'm fine. I wasn't expecting that to happen though." She said with a chuckle as she rubbed her head. " Alright. On to plan B." She said as we both went back over to Alya and Manon who were still trapped behind the ice.
" Don't worry. Everything's gonna be ok." Ladybug said as she pressed her hands against the ice as she spoke to the two.
"I promise we're gonna get you two out of there." I said to the both of them.
" Where is Marinette and Zaierre?" Manon questioned with a deep, sad frown on her face.
My heart begin to stir uncomfortably as I saw the sad look on Manon's face.
" They haven't forgotten about you Manon." Ladybug said replying to her.
" How did you know my name?" Manon asked her with a questioning voice.
" Oh Uhhh Marinette told me! She and Zaierre are coming right back, ok?" Ladybug said in a comforting voice, placing her hand on the glass.
Manon smiled and placed her hand against Ladybug's through the ice as Alya gave a thumbs up.
" Wolfie, let's go." Ladybug called as she threw her yo-yo, catching on to a building and pulling herself away.
" We're gonna get you two out of there as quick as we can, don't worry ok." I told them.
They both nodded their heads as I took out a pair of my nunchucks, spinning it for a few second before I threw it and latched it on to a building. As I was about to pull on it so I can take me away, I just so happen to look over at the gate of the park's entrance and saw Chat Noir landing on it, and when I looked closer, I could see that he was talking to the akumitized villain.
" Shit." I said to myself as I unlatched my nunchuck from the building, pulling it back to myself as I changed directions and took off in the direction of Chat Noir.
" Hey ice Queen!" I could hear Chat's voice call out. " What's with all the terrorizing? Why don't you pick on someone your own temperature?" He said to the akumitized girl.
The girl quickly got irritated as she stared up at Chat with anger in her eyes. " My names not ice Queen, it's Stormy Weather!" She yelled at him.
Chat held on to the bars of the gate as he slid down, swinging his tail, his face smug as he spoke. " Listen. I'm feline more generous than usual today, so... cool down and we'll call it quits, ok." He said to her with a smirk.
It was then that I decided to make myself know, walking up to stand next to Chat.
" You!" I said as I stared angrily at the umbrella wielding villain. " Why would you would trap a teenage girl and a small little girl behind a fucking igloo of ice?!" I asked angrily.
The girl didn't speak, she only aimed her umbrella at us and opened it up, and like what had happened before, a huge gust of wind came and literally blew us away.
" Ahhhhhhhhh!!" I screamed as I flew through the air as if I had been caught inside of a tornado.
I knew that I couldn't control where I was gonna fall so I braced myself when I saw that I was headed for a building, a huge glass window was nearing so I closed my eyes and covered my head with my arms as I went flying through the window of the building.
Glass went flying all around me as I landed on the floor with a grunt.
" Fuck fuck fuck fuck." I cried out.
I was aware that with the superhero suit on, I was somewhat protected by things like this, but that doesn't mean I don't feel anything, cause I do. And boy do that shit hurt.
" Wolfie? Wolfie are you in here." I could hear Chat's call out to me.
I groaned as I sat up, bringing my hand to my head to steady my spinning vision. " I'm here." I called back as loud as I could.
I heard two pairs of feet make their way over to me as both Ladybug and Chat Noir kneeled down on either side of me, checking me over.
" Wolfie are you alright? I saw you fly head first into that glass. Can you walk? Do you have a concussion? Do you need to go to the hospital? Tell me, what do you need?" Ladybug said sporadically as she held my cheeks in her hands and looked me over.
I sighed, taking her hands from my cheeks. " I'm fine. The suit mostly protected me so I know I'm not seriously hurt but that shit still hurt, you know?" I asked.
"Yeah I get you Wolfie. I understand that feeling all too well." Chat said to me as he stood to his feet and offered his hand out to me.
I took it and he pulled me up to my feet, all the glass falling off of me and on to the ground. It took me about a minute for me to feel normal again.
" That bitch. When I see her again, imma fuck her up." I said to my teammates.
" Calm down wolfie. Remember she's still an innocent. She's just been akumitized." Ladybug said to me.
"Yeah but-" I started but Ladybug cut me off with that look and I sighed.
" Whatever. Besides that, what exactly are we gonna do about the ice queen? What's the plan?" I asked them as we begin to make our way out of the building.
No one even had the chance to answer, because as soon as we stepped into the road to begin planning the next move, Stormy Weather, as if she had been waiting for us floated down a few feet in front of us, " We should be expecting lightening storms like right now!" She called out, lifting her umbrella up into the air, a purple beam shooting from it and up into the air.
We looked on in horror as the sunny, cloudy, blue sky begin turning a dark grey as a clap of thunder was heard before a bolt of purple lightening shot down from the clouds aimed right for us.
We all let out a scream as Ladybug ran, tackling both Chat and I out of the way, just as the lightening bolt had struck the spot where we were just standing.
We all tumbled into a ball of limbs, Ladybug and I on the ground with Chat sprawled atop both of us. As he leaned up and realized just exactly where he was, a smirk took over his features.
But he didn't get long to react to our sudden position when Ladybug deadpanned at him, reaching a hand up to turn his head in the direction of Stormy Weather.
Chat then snapped back into action as he stood up and helped the both of us up, then turned his attention on Stormy Weather. " You just won yourself a cat fight." He said to her.
Chat took off running towards her when she lifted her umbrella and pointed it in our direction. " Black Ice!" She called out.
And just as she had stated, the streets had been turned into slippery mess of black ice. Stormy weather then twirled her umbrella and pointed it at us again, this time another gust of strong winds came rushing at us, pushing everything back, including the cars around us.
We all went flying and Ladybug was the first to react, taking out her yo-yo, letting the strings wrap around the light pole. Chat came flying and she caught him by the tail, and as I came flying by, Chat caught me by my tail as well.
They both held a firm grip. Ladybug to Chat and Chat to me, until the wind abruptly stopped, causing all of us to fall flat on our faces.
" Ow." I let out as I sat up, rubbing my face.
We all looked up at Stormy Weather floating by and in her wake throwing cars all around, destroying and flipping them on their backs, making their alarms go off.
We all stood to our feet, Chat cracking his knuckles as he stared after the akumitized girl. " A little Chat Noir will knock the wind out of her sails." He said as he attempted to run after her.
I quickly grabbed him by the tail, stopping him in his tracks. " Woah my little kitty. You better think before you leap." I said to him in a playful tone as I released his tail.
Chat pouted his lips as he grabbed his own tail and started caressing it, " Seems like everyone wants to yank on my tail today." He said to us. " Anyone got a plan?" He asked.
" Just follow my lead." Ladybug spoke up as she took off in a run, running across the wall of a building.
Chat followed quickly after her and I behind him. They both jumped off of the building, using their weapons as means of guidance, trying to get to Stormy Weather from either side
"Not you again!" The girl yelled, swinging her umbrella, causing a gust of wind to blow not only them but a bunch of cars back, and was even strong enough that it blew me off of the building as well.
We all flew through the air with a scream, landing about a block away from where we were. As we all landed, we were moving quick on our feet, dipping and dodging the copious amounts of cars that came flying our way.
And just as we all stood back to back, looking around for anything else coming our way, we heard something flying through the air. As we looked up, I gasped in horror as I saw a public transportation bus heading right towards us, coming down on us quick.
Ladybug quickly took out her yo-yo and begin swinging it. I pulled Chat towards me by his waist, then quickly moved even closer to Ladybug, standing under her yo-yo, wrapping my arm around her waist as well as ducking down a bit and closing my eyes when the bus crash landed on top of us.
I could hear the whirring of Ladybug'a yo-yo starting to slow down, and when I opened my eyes, I saw that we were inside of the bus. The wires of Ladybug's yo-yo had cut a perfect circle around us.
" Oh wow. I'm always surprised at just how strong that little yo-yo is." I said to Ladybug as I released my grip on her waist, and Chat's as well then stood to my feet.
" Yeah it is pretty strong, isn't it?" She said as it finally stopped spinning, and fell down, smacking Chat on top of his head.
" Ow!" Chat said as he vigorously rubbed at the spot where the yo-yo had hit him, turning his eyes to glare up at Ladybug who let out a few giggles.
I let out a few giggles as well as I reached down and caressed his head where the yo-yo had hit him. " You ok kitty?" I asked him with a teasing smile.
" I would be if you gave me a little kiss on my boo-boo. To make me feel better of course." He said to me as he gave me a full smile, raising his eyebrows up and down suggestively.
" Hmm I'll think about it, remind me later." I said in a joking tone as I looked over to see Ladybug had gotten a window open.
" Chat hand me your staff." She said to him, hand outstretched for it.
Chat took his staff off it's holding place on his back and handed it to her. She pressed the green glowing paw and extended it, shooting out of the bus, then she turned and pushed down on the staff, sending Chat flying up as well, then Chat turned around and offered his hands down to me which I quickly took as he pulled me up out of the bus.
We looked around us at the complete and utter damage that Stormy Weatger had caused to the city. I shook my head at the sight. "Just what is this girls issue?" I questioned out loud.
" Maybe she got some unresolved anger issues." Ladybug said as we all hopped down from the bus.
" Or she didn't pas her driving test." Chat said as we took off running in the direction of where we had last seen Stormy Weather.
" Hello viewers!" The familiar voice stopped us in our tracks as the cracked screen of the digital billboard flickered to life, showing the appearance of Stormy Weather in some weather forecasts room. " Here's the latest forecast for the first day of summer. Looks like Mother Nature had a change in plans. Summer vacation is officially over!" She yelled with a smirk.
" Already? But I look so good in a swimsuit." Chat said in a pout as he folded his arms.
Ladybug gave him a weird look as I raised my eyebrow at his words.
He had realized that we were looking at him and he flexed his eyebrows up in down and gave his usual suggestive smile with a chuckle.
I couldn't help but let out small laugh as Ladybug giggled a bit. " The catsuit will do, thanks." She said to him with a wink.
" And on the bright side, at least now we know where to find her." I said to them.
✯¸.•'*¨'*•✿ ✿•*'¨*'•.¸✯
It took us a few minutes to get there, but we had finally arrived at the broadcasting building where they host many different TV shows.
We quickly made our way into the building which I was eternally grateful for to be getting out of that freezing weather.
We ran through the hallway and into a room where Chat's voice made us stop in out tracks. " Hey that girl reminds me of someone." He said as he stared at a cardboard cut out of a blonde girl wearing a blue dress with an umbrella hanging over her shoulder.
I took a closer look at the cardboard cutout, then my eyes trailed over to the tv screen that was playing a video of Stormy Weather. And it clicked.
" It's her! The akuma must be in her parasol." Ladybug said voicing my thoughts.
" Let's go." I said to them as we all took off running once again.
We ran down another hallway and came into a room that had a bright red door.
" In Stormy Weather's world. It's winter wonderland. Forever!" I heard the two small display screens of Stormy Weather say as Chat and Ladybug run to the red door and kicked it in.
We quickly ran inside, seeing no one. The room was empty. Stormy Weather was nowhere to be found.
" She tricked us. It was only a recording." I said aloud.
An amused cackle came from behind us as we all turned to look and saw Stormy Weather. She pointed her umbrella up to the ceiling and shot a lightening bolt at the stage lights, sending it falling down on to us.
We all hopped out of the way, dodging it. Then suddenly the lights begin flickering until all the lights surrounding us begin to shut off one by one, shrouding us in nothing but pitch black darkness.
I stood up from the ground, and that's when I had realized that I could still see even though the room had been pitch black.
" Well duh genius. Wolves have night vision." I though to myself.
I looked around for my teammates to make sure everyone ok as I saw Chat standing by the door as he looked on seeing Stormy Weather running away.
" Frosty the snow girl's getting away." He said with an irritated snarl.
It was then that I looked over at Ladybug and I saw that she was struggling a bit. Well a lot. She had her hands out in front of her trying to find any surface to help guide her but she ended up tripping over some debris from the stage light.
I let out a cackle as Chat walked over to her with a outstretched hand. " Do I hear a damsel in distress?" He teased.
Ladybug waved her hand around until her hand landed in Chat's and he pulled her up to her feet. " Some of us don't have night vision." She said to him, letting out a shriek as Chat begin to pull her along with him, following after Stormy Weather.
" No need to bug out, just trust me." He told her. "Let's go Wolfie." He called over his shoulder to me.
I nodded and took off behind them.
We ran down long hallways chasing after Stormy Weather, hearing her evil cackling as she ran through a door and ran up the many flights of stairs.
" Ok that's enough. I think I can mange to-" Ladybug was cut off when Chat yelled for her to duck down as Stormy Weather threw a fire extinguisher down the stairs, aiming to hit one of us.
" Follow your lead on this one." Ladybug finished saying as Chat grabbed her wrist again, pulling her up from her crouched position and begin running up the stairs again.
We kept running up and up until we got to the top, Chat pushing the door open to the rooftop.
" Hahahaha." Stormy Weather cackled as she floated above us. " You airheads! You fell right into my trap!" She yelled as she opened her umbrella and begin twirling it.
A dark cloud had begin forming over the building at high speeds like an icy tornado.
" There's no way out! Party's over fools!" Stormy Weather said in a condescending tone as she smirked, proud of herself.
" We're just-" I looked over to see why Ladybug had stopped talking and saw that Chat still held his grip on her hand.
She took her hand out of his, giving him a side eye as Chat chucked sheepishly, before she continued with what she was saying. " We're just getting started Stormy! Lucky charm! " Ladybug called out, activating her power.
As the magical ladybugs went away, it left a polka dotted bath towel in its wake.
" A bath towel?" I deadpanned. " Now what the hell are you supposed to do with that?" I questioned.
" Great. We're about to be obliterated, but at least we'll be dry." Chat said sarcastically.
" Can you guys lay off me and hold your whiskers." Ladybug said with a roll of her eyes as she began wrapping the towel around her wrist.
" Hail!" I heard Stormy Weather call out as she lifted her umbrella up towards the clouds and instantly, golf ball sized hail came raining down.
Chat grabbed Ladybug and begin twisting his staff above them creating a shield over them, so I reached back and grabbed my nunchucks and begin swinging it above me, doing the same thing.
" So what's the plan with getting the akuma back? My arms starting to get a cramp!" I heard Chat yell out.
Ladybug then begin looking around at her surroundings. Her eyes were focused as she was searching for a plan before a look of realization came over her face. " You see that sign over there? Check it out." She said to Chat.
" Alright!" Chat responded to her as he called out his cataclysm.
" Hey coldilocks , is that all you got?" He said teasingly up to Stormy Weather who only bared her teeth at him in disdain.
Chat had taken off, running in the direction of the sign, dipping and dodging every bolt of lightening that Stormy Weather sent his way with a laugh.
As he got over to the sign, he slid along the floor, wiping his hand over the bolted down part of the sign, corroding it instantly with his cataclysm and it began to fall down in the direction where Stormy was floating.
Ladybug quickly threw her yo-yo, discreetly letting it wrap around Stormy's ankle as the unaware akumitized girl shot a hole through the billboard as it fell around her.
Ladybug was able to maneuver around some pipes, propelling herself off of the wall and up onto a platform that had an air vent shooting up air. She took the towel from her wrist, and opened it up, the air lifting her up like a parachute while simultaneously dragging a screaming Stormy Weather back to the ground, with her umbrella getting knocked out of her hand.
Chat was quick to catch it in his hands when he then tossed it to me and I made quick work as I broke it in half over my knee.
" Now bring your ass outta there you nasty bug." I said as the akuma made its way out of the umbrella. " Bugaboo here it comes." I shouted over to Ladybug who had just descended from her towel.
" No more evil doing for you little akuma." She said as she ran her finger over her yo-yo, turning it into its signature akuma capturing form.
" It's time to de-evilize!" She yelled as she spinned it around a few times before she threw it, capturing it as the akuma tried to fly away. " Gotcha!" She said as she pulled her yo-yo back to herself, pressing a button and released the akuma, " Bye bye little butterfly." She said as the white butterfly flew away.
" Alright, let's wrap this up so we can get outta here. It's been a long day." I said walking over to Chat, placing my head against his shoulder, tiredly.
Ladybug smile at me as she threw the towel up into the air shouting, " Miraculous Ladybug!" and on cue, the hundreds if not thousands of small magical ladybugs flew around the city, repairing any damage and healing any injuries that may have been caused by the battle and clearing the dark clouds and bringing back the shining sunny sky.
Ladybug walked over to where Chat and I were and we all put our fist out in a three way fist bump. " Pound it" we all called out with smiles.
Chat's and Ladybug's miraculous' begin beeping, signaling that they would be changing back soon.
"You guys did great today. I'm about to transform back so I'm gonna be on my way. I'll see you guys next time alright. Bug out." Ladybug said running off as she threw her yo-yo and was off.
I moved off of Chat's shoulder, expecting him to run off as well, but he stood there staring at me with an expectant look on his face.
" Shouldn't you be on your way as well." I asked, gesturing to his flashing ring.
" In a minute. But someone told me to remind them later that I would be given a kiss for my boo-boo, that is still giving me immense pain." Chat said as he dramatically rubbed his head.
My face scrunched up in confusion until realization dawned on me and I remembered earlier in the bus when Ladybug's yo-yo hit him on the head.
I deadpanned. " Kitty, I was joking." I said to him.
A pout formed on Chat's lips as he gave me a puppy eyed look. " but I've been waiting so patiently all day." He said in a whiny voice.
I rolled my eyes at his childishness and pulled him down by his shoulders, grabbing his head as I learned over and pecked the top of his head where he was hit by the yo-yo. "There. Are you happy now?" I questioned with a raise of my eyebrow.
" Yes. Yes I am, but you know what would make me even happier?" He asked.
I rolled my eyes at him playfully. " And what's that?" I asked.
" You don't know this, but earlier I got his on my lips as well, so if you could just-"
I didn't even let him finish what he was saying, I simply turned around from him, took out my nunchucks and started swinging it. " My little kitty is such a perv." I said said to him over my shoulder as I threw my nunchuck and I was off.
✯¸.•'*¨'*•✿ ✿•*'¨*'•.¸✯
I ran, making my way back to the park where we had came to earlier. My mind had went back to Alya and Manon and I wanted to check on them to make sure that they were fine. I knew they were because of the magical ladybugs but still. I wanted to see for myself.
I ran through the gate of the park, and looked around seeing Marinette bent dow and hugging Manon as Alya stood over them smiling. I ran over to them, my eyes firstly trailing over Alya, then down to Manon. They looked fine and I was relieved.
Then I turned my attention to my sister. I looked her over and she looked fine as well, not a hair out of place. I nodded to myself in contempt. I was glad that everyone was alright.
Marinette picked Manon up in her arms, giving her another hug before the little girl pulled back and looked Marinette in the eyes. " I know what your secret is." She sung out.
Marinette's eyes went wide as she spluttered. " Huh? Wh- what secret?" She asked.
" That Ladybug is your bestfriend! That's how you both always know what the other one is going to do!" Manon told her.
Marinette laughed to herself, hugging the girl to her once again before sitting her back down to her feet.
" I'm glad everyone is ok." I said finally voicing my thoughts.
" Me too." Alya said responding.
We all begin to make our way over to where Adrien stood with his photographer.
" Look Nettie. Seems like you still have a chance to pose with Adrien." I said nudging her as I gestured to my head over to where Adrien stood.
" Marinette can I have a lollipop? Can I? Can I? Can I?!" Manon shouted as she jumped up and down while pointing at the lollipop stand.
" No Manon. I have something important that I need to do." Marinette told her sternly. " Alya, Zaierre. Please watch her for me." She said to us.
We both nodded as Marinette turned and ran to Adrien and the photographer. " I'm ready for the photo shoot!" She yelled out.
The photographer looked at her about to say something when his attention was diverted to something behind Marinette. " Wait! Who is that? She's an angel" He asked as he put up a hand, stopping Marinette in her tracks.
We had all looked to where his attention had shifted to and he was so obviously staring down at Manon.
" Her! I need her to pose with Adrien!" He said excitedly. " It will be the cutest photo shoot Adrien has ever done!" He said.
" Manon. It's up to you whether you wanna do it or not." I said down to her.
She had a look of contemplation on her face before she started jumping up and down excitedly. " I wanna do it! I wanna do it!" She said happily.
The photographer had come over taking Manon by the hand and handing her off to Adrien.
" Hey." I called out to him. " Keep a close eye on her, ok?" I said to Adrien.
" Of course I will." He responded to me with a smile.
Marinette had turned away from the scene with a disappointed look on her face but Alya had given her a hug in an attempt to cheer her up.
" Don't be so down sis. I'm sure they'll be plenty of more opportunities for you to be able to pose with Adrien." I told her.
" True." Alya said agreeing.
" Yeah I know." She said to me.
" Besides if you don't cheer up, I'll just have to tell Adrien all about your little fantasies about three kids and a dog and a hamster, whatever it was that you said earlier." I said as I pretended to walk over to where Adrien was, posing with Manon.
Marinette's eyes went wide as she chased after me. " Zaierre Du-Pain Cheng I will literally end your life!" She shouted, jumping on my back and covering my mouth, drawing the attention of a lot of people, including Adrien's photographer, Adrien himself and Manon.
" Oh no! Marinette and Zaierre are fighting again like last time!" Manon said as a scared look crossed her features.
Marinette and I looked up at Manon's words, pausing at what she said.
Marinette shook her head as she hopped down from my back, as we both walked over to the small child.
" No Manon we aren't fighting, we're just playing around." Marinette said to her.
" Really." Manon asked, her deep frown slightly disappearing.
" Yes we're only joking around Manon. Don't worry." I said to her.
Manon let out a breath of relief as she beamed up at us. " Alright! I'm glad!" She said to us.
I let out a sigh of relief that she had dropped that topic and now I was really beginning to feel tired. But I'm not surprised, I was literally thrown through a fucking window, I deserve a nap!
" I think it's about time I head out." I said as a yawn ripped from my mouth. " I'm so tired." I said to them.
" Zaierre you're leaving?" Manon said as she looked up at me with those puppy dog eyes of hers.
" Yes I am. I'm in desperate need of a nap." I said to her, ruffling her hair as she smacked my hand away.
" Alright then. We'll see you back at home then." Marinette said to me. " Be careful on your way back." She said to me.
" Yeah be careful girl." Alya said she came up to me and gave me a hug which I returned.
" I guess I'll see you in class tomorrow then Zaierre." I heard Adrien speak up.
I looked over at him with a smile. " If I manage to wake myself up in time." I said to him.
He rolled his eyes playfully at my words. " Well if you don't come to class tomorrow, how am I supposed to give you those cheese sticks that you keep asking me for?" He questioned with a raised brow.
" Hey chill. I'm gonna be in class tomorrow." I told him with a pout. " just make sure you bring the cheese." I said to him with a wave as I turned to walk away, making my way out of the park.
" I will!" I head him call after me.
✯¸.•'*¨'*•✿ ✿•*'¨*'•.¸✯
The walk back home wasn't a long one, but it did felt like it dragged on a bit. Maybe because I was absolutely exhausted.
Whatever the reason, as soon as I got home I took my shoes off a the door, closing and locking the door behind me and making my way right up the stairs and into my room.
I took my pouch off, opening it up and letting Luna out, then I took out my phone and put it on the charger.
" Luna you know the drill. Do what you want, I'm going to sleep." I told her.
I didn't even wait for a response before I jumped into my bed, getting under the covers and falling asleep instantly.
