Everyone Needs a Safe Place

Marinette

The scream that came from me shocked me. It was a shock to everyone has the car was picked up, even Felix let out a loud yell. The driver was cursing as whatever this akuma was as it carried the car throughout Paris. How was she going to get out to be Ladybug? The movement of the akuma suddenly turning the car to the side made her scream again but it was the door opening that made her fear grow. 

"MARINETTE!" She couldn't help but try to reach for Felix has he held out a hand for her. She was putting on her seatbelt when the car was grabbed but didn't fully put it on like he did. The man reached in, grabbing her out of the car. She watched as the large hand put the car down like a toy as he dropped it right above the ground. The man was the same size as Gorilla was but he seemed to be white with purple eyes.

"Put me down!" The man kept walking through Paris as they got closer to the Eiffel Tower. It was when she looked to the top that she saw another person who was akumatized. Marinette could have slammed her head against the wall when she saw a woman holding a stuffed white gorilla that she was using to control the in-person one. It was like a grown up version of Manon. 

The woman dropped her infront of her on the top of the tower. She was wearing a white dress and her hair was in a braid. The only difference was a Wifi symbol in the middle, like Alya's shirt for Lady Wifi. If Marinette didn't know any better, she thought she was looking at Elsa. Did hawkmoth not have anymore ideas? Was it really getting to the point of making Disney characters the akumas? 

"Hello, Marinette." The woman's voice was soft and airy, making her feel lighter. Marinette tried not to focus on it because she immediately could tell this was almost like a siren. She was trying to get into her head with her voice. The woman leaned down to try to meet her eyes as she kept her head down.

"Marinette, I'm here to help you. I know who posted that horrible picture of you." Marinette's head snapped up looking into the woman's eyes. It was bright purple, her eyes pulled her in with their intensity. She let herself fall into them because she needed to know. Marinette couldn't fully move on if she didn't know. 

"How do you know?" The woman smiled reaching out to put a hand on her cheek. Marinette felt it, a feeling rushing through her making her feel as if she needed to listen to everything this woman in front of her said. It was a light feeling. All thoughts emptied from her head, except for the sadness and anger coming from her situation. It was like that was the only thing growing inside of her. 

"Someone has been lying to you and I can help you know, but first me and my friend need your help. We need you to get Chat Noir's miraculous. He will be the key for you to know. My friend is going to give you something to help." Marinette in her haze of mind-control didn't see the akuma coming for her. With the woman bringing all her emotions forward, it was more than enough to cause an akuma. The butterfly touched her earrings, Hawkmoth not realizing he akumatized the one thing he was looking for. 

"Your life has fallen apart, someone has ruined your privacy and taken away your respect. It is someone you know. You have always been there for everyone and this is what you get in the end? Let me help you, Lady Vengeance" 

Marinette tried to fight it, she knew this was so wrong. But the idea of them knowing and helping her was winning. She couldn't help but look up and saw something that broke her. Chat was staring at her with tears in his eyes, 

"I'm so sorry, Chat Noir." She let the power take her over as she heard Chat scream out for her.
