Awakening the Phoenix Within

Vol. 1 Chapter 4:When the Cat's away, the Rats will Pay

It was a great weekend morning in Paris. Everyone was getting ready to start the day. All of them  is certainly looking  forward to a new day. No one knew that their luck is not with them today. How will Paris react to Lady Luck out of it’s soil?

Tom & Sabine Patisserie & Boulangerie:
The Dupain-Cheng bakery as usual is starting their day early in order to prepare for the customers coming in for the day. Breads to bake, shelves & display cases to fill, everything they need to start the new day in the business.

“Marinette time to wake up!” Sabine called. She waited a moment for a response but nothing came up.

“She has come down from her room yet?” Tom asked.

“No… I think she’s still upset with us of stopping her commissions. You don’t think we were too hard on her, do you?”

“Nonsense… she should know better than to be a bully. She needs to face the consequences of her actions & limiting her is step 1. This is just teenage rebellion taking in the form of our daughter. She’ll learn soon enough were doing this for her own good. Not only will this give her time with her friends but also help her do better in school. You’ll see she’ll come around eventually.”

“I guess you’re right, she’ll probably stay in her room all weekend if possible. She can’t do much worse when she’s stuck in her room. Right?”

“That’s right. Let her have her space, okay? In the meantime come help me with this croissants, customers will be lining up soon… “

Sabine then nodded then proceeded to help her husband prepare the bakery for the day ahead. Neither of them bothered to check on the now empty room where their teenage daughter once was.

Agreste Mansion, Adrien’s room:
Adrien woke up feeling refresh today he had planned a day with Kagami & they are going spend the entire day together without scheduled photoshoot. He stretched his arms & tried to fix his hair but his hands stopped suddenly when it got to his forehead. For some strange reason his thoughts kept lingering there & he can’t explain why but his hand won’t leave the spot. His trance was broken when a knock came from the door.

“Adrien, Ms. Tsurugi will be arriving in an hour, please be prepared?”

“I was just getting to that Nathalie. Thanks for notifying me.”

“Of course. Your father has also reminded me to tell you to be on your best behavior & don’t do anything inappropriate that will damage the brand.”

“Yes… Nathalie....” “You told me that everyday of my life anyways. Its not like I’ll forget about it.” He whispered.

He immediately got up & headed straight to his bathroom to freshen up for his date. While he was showering, his hand again returned to his forehead. He can’t understand it but for some strange reason his hand kept going back to the same exact spot. When he got out, he picked out his best clothes. When he was done getting dress he turned the TV on to wait for Nathalie to fetch him but the feeling he had earlier came back to him & his hand is back to his forehead again. Plagg had been watching him since he woke up while he had his morning cheese & he is getting irritated by what his holder is doing.

“Ahh!!!!!! Will you cut it out kit,  you’re starting to freak me out!” the kwami complained.

“Sorry Plagg, my hand seems attach to my head today for some reason. I must’ve hit my head or something. I just have this funny feeling that something is different in the air today. Like something bad happen but I can’t put my finger on it.”
