miraculous children

Chapter 6

Following Lillian

Lillian woke up yet again in the arms of Louis wondering, "I wonder who my Hēi Māo is. I don't want to face another day like yesterday. Why am I constantly being singled out and bullied? Why does no one stand up for me? Am I that horrible a person?"

Louis woke then and said "Good morning beautiful! Did you sleep well?" he looked at her face and saw the deep hurt and distress but there was nothing he could do except hug her and say "You didn't, did you?"

Lillian shook her head and asked for perhaps the hundredth time that month," Why are you with me Louis?"

"Because I love you, I think you're the most beautiful person in the world, caring, kind..."

"Why does no one else see me that way then?" she asked assuming that he meant that he loved her like a sister.

"Because they are either idiots or jealous. Lucian loves you too you know." Louis said.

"Could have fooled me." She muttered, "He barely even notices me now, always walking around with a goofy grin. I don't even get why. It's not like he has a girlfriend that I can see, although he says he has one to other people. I never see him with anyone."

"Well, I can't vouch for his stupidity, but seriously Lil, I love you." He said looking into her eyes and kissing her.

"Stop that!" she said, "You can't kiss me like that!"

"Why not? You're not my sister and I love you." Louis asked "Don't you love me?"

Lillian sighed "I love you, but I am not in love with you. I love someone else...trouble is I don't know who they are under the mask."

Louis sighed and rolled away. "Damn it!" He muttered, "Just like Uncle Luka! I don't want that!"

Although Louis usually called Luka "Dad" in terms of things miraculous, he referred to him as Uncle Luka.

"What are you talking about?" Lillian asked.

"Nothing, My Lady." Louis said deliberately as he had figured out who the newest bearers of the miraculous were quite some time ago. Luka had too, but there was nothing they could do, yet.

Lillian gave him an odd look as if to say "Why are you calling me that? Hēi Māo calls me that?"

"I wonder who Mum is," Louis said diverting her attention away from her question, "She has not been the same for months now, its like she is a different person."

"Because she is," Lillian said, "Well, she said she was, when she was explaining somethings to me."

"Who did she say she was?"

"A person called Macy, she said she came from another world where we were fictional beings." Lillian said "She said there were things she could not explain as she was not Marionette and had not watched all of the episodes, nor was she the original writer of the story so she did not understand all things Miraculous only what little she had seen and written. Apparently, we are from a fan fiction of hers. Whatever a fan fiction is."

"So, she knows what is happening to us?"

Lillian nodded, "I guess that's why you're allowed to sleep next to me."

"Because without me and that silly cat, you would do something stupid," he said bitterly.

"How do you know about the cat?" Lillian asked surprised.

"I am not stupid" was all he would say as he got up and left, not wanting to talk about the cat.

Lillian looked at Louis and blushed as he had taken to stripping lately. "For goodness sake Louis, why do you keep stripping? Get dressed!"
