Music Strings • Luka Couffaine

|Chapter 18|

As she was busy being lost in thought, and Luka also busy talking about how amazing Marinette was, they didn't seem to notice that commotion that was going on not to far from them.

And then the ground started rumbling, which instantly caught (Y/N)'s attention.

Then there stood infront of them, a large salamander-like monster.

"L-Luka what the fuck is that?!"

—

(Y/N) stared at the monster infront of her, fear clear in her (E/C) orbs as she watches the salamander like monster eye her like a lion eyes it's prey.

She took a gulp in terror as she examines it's features.

The top half of her body is mainly pink, and the bottom half, along with her forearms, are mainly purple.

She has three red eyes with yellow scleras, the third eye being in the middle of her forehead, and has periwinkle tentacles with spots on the back of her head. Her head has freckles.

Her mouth has sharp, jagged white teeth; and her tongue is light blue. She has dark purple claws on her hands, while the claws on her feet are brown, the toes being tan-colored. She also has a long purple tail.

(Y/N) then examines this pretty peculiar pin she swore she's seen before. But she can't put a finger on it.

But she couldn't think for long, her thoughs were cut short as she hears a loud roar coming from the salamander-like monster.

Her breath hitches as she watches the monster look at her with it's big round eyes. And if looks could kill, (Y/N) would probably be dead by now. She felt herself stiffen, and get legs were almost jelly like. She couldn't move.

"(Y-Y/N)! Run!"

She felt a hand on hers, the warmth causing her to snap out of her reverie. (Y/N) looks up at Luka, who was looking back at her with fear.

Her heart started beating wildly against her chest, the adrenaline had her feeling all frenzy as Luka guides her. (Y/N) watches as the people of Paris go wild over a monster. She still couldn't believe it, she thought that monsters were only fiction.

"Luka what is that?!" (Y/N) asked once more as they hid around the corner. Luka peeping at the scenes, making sure that the salamander-like monster was nowhere near them. And then a sigh escaped his lips.

"It's an Akumatized person." Luka then started. (Y/N) raised a brow at him, not quite getting what he was saying.

"Akuta what what now?" She asked.

"Akuma. An akuma is a magic butterfly responsible for transforming people into supervillains." Luka explains.

A minute of silence passed by, Luka didn't dare say of word. He completely understood why (Y/N) was reluctant of the situation. Paris is very weird, and strange. And she's from a different country, which probably doesn't have evil supervillains looking for magical jeweleries.

(Y/N) was definitely flabbergasted. There was an awkward silence between them, but was then broken by the sound of giggles. Then it turned into full blown guffaws.

"Pfft— Akuma? Supervillain? Luka I'm not a little kid! Those are just made up stuff." (Y/N) laughed, amusement visible in her tone of voice. Luka then looks at her in alarm.

"(Y-Y/N), Pipe it down please! The monster might find us!" Luka then stammers. He didn't know what to do, he didn't know how to explain the whole situation to her.

"Then what next? Hot superheroes flying and jumping about saving Paris and doing the Kamekameha? Luka you're hilarious!" (Y/N) exclaims, her hands to her stomach as she laughs and giggles.

Luka could only look at her in disbelief as she laughs and giggles about the situation. Couldn't she see that there were dozens of people out the broad daylight running about and looking for cover, desperately trying to keep themselves safe.

He bits down on his lips, hoping for Paris' heroes to show up the scenes already.

"Ladybug.. Chat Noir. Where are you?" Luka mumbles, his breath hitching as he hears (Y/N)'s laughs get even louder. She clearly heard him.

"Ladybug and who? Chat Meow? That's really original." (Y/N) sneered at him, whilst rolling her eyes in the process. She stood up from her hiding place, an annoyed look in her eyes as they connect with Lukas pleading teal ones.

"Y'know what.." She started. "I'm not in the mood to be with you right now. I thought that we were gonna practice our verses and create a piece but nooo you were to busy talking about this Marinette girl. If your gonna mess my feelings up at least be more subtle about it!" (Y/N) exclaims, her cheeks red from embarrassment and her eyes sharply giving Luka the cold glares.

"What..?" Luka could only muster as he watches (Y/N) walk out on him.

"I'm out." She said, raising both her hands up in defeat as she walks away. Ignoring Lukas pleas to stay with him, for it was far  to  dangerous. She couldn't care less right now, her anger for Luka clouding her thoughts.

(Y/N) walks out the building, a proud triumphant smirk on her lips as she looks at her surroundings. No one was there, the place was deserted. But it still looked normal. No fire or buildings tumbling down, and no monster reeking havoc in the city.

A small laugh escaped her lips.

'It was all just a fake! A stunt! I knew it.' 

Her thoughts were then cut short as she could feel the ground rumbling from beneath her. A gasp escaping her lips as she watches everything start to get weary and gray, it felt so surreal and weird. Then she heaves out a nervous laugh.

'Y-yes. This isn't actually happening. Maybe there are actors on set. That's why people aren't around.'  She tries to comfort herself.

Then she felt something crumbling from above her. She decided to look up.

A huge boulder was going down straight at her.

(Y/N) shrieks and closed her eyes, her body stiffened and froze itself in place. She couldn't move, she was glued in her place. It's as if the shock had her freezing for dear life.

And then she heard the boulder crash. Tears started to run down her cheeks, thinking that this was the last time she'll ever get to do that.

"H-hey. Why are you crying?"  She then heard a voice say.
