Chapter 14

"So, what's the plan?" Alya asked.

Just by looking at everyone, you can tell that they all want to ask Marinette -- who transformed back to her ordinary self -- a lot of questions. They also want to ask for explanation about how Marinette became Ladybug, how she managed to live a double life, and how she managed to keep it secret from them.

But looking at Marinette's serious face, determined to save Paris, they held back and kept the questions to themselves.

Marinette breathed deeply. "We need to find Hawkmoth's lair first," she told them.

"How?" Max asked. "We don't even know who he is. I don't think it will be. . ." he paused for a minute, afraid that he might offend their friend. "Hard."

Marinette nodded, telling them that he actually agreed. "That's why the kwamis are here. They've been trying to communicate with Plagg and Nooroo." He looked at Tikki. "Right?"

Tikki nodded. "We don't know his exact location yet, but he seem to be close."

"I'm sorry, Plagg," Adrien finally spoke after being quiet for a whole day. His voice sounded defeated. 

Plagg didn't vanish when when Hawkmoth snatched Adrien's miraculous from him -- which was strange. Plagg hid behind Adrien's coat the whole time that Hawkmoth was there.

"Stop it, Adrien," Plagg said, not even a hint of worry nor disappointment in his voice. "I hate comforting someone. I don't know how to. Just wait for Ladybug to save you."

Adrien looked up, confusion starting to show in his face that has been emotionless for the past few days. He was tired -- and probably, has lost hope already.

"I can feel the other kwamis communicating with me."

Adrien's became hopeful for a minute, but the hope went away quickly.

"She shouldn't save me," he muttered. "I was nothing but a burden to her, anyway. I always mess up and make things difficult for her."

Plagg groaned. "Stop being a pessimistic cat, Adrien," he scolded. "Besides, I already know who Hawkmoth is. As soon as I successfully escape this place, I'll be able to lead Ladybug and the others here."

Adrien, again, looked up.

"You know who Hawkmoth is?"

Plagg froze on his spot, realizing that an important information has slipped from his mouth again. But then, he can't take it back anymore  so he nodded. Now, he felt bad for Adrien because he knows how the boy would be so upset as soon as he found out the man behind Hawkmoth's identity.

"Who is he?" Adrien asked, looking hungry for information.

Plagg shook his head. "We can't say a miraculous owner's name." Aside from that, he didn't want to witness how upset Adrien will be with his answer. He knows he wouldn't be able to handle him. He hate feelings -- sappy feelings.

"Just have faith in your  Ladybug. I know she won't leave Paris and you on your own."
