I helped Alya unpack. I insisted on staying with her. We later left the room and started to explore. We found Adrien wandering the halls. It was getting pretty late so we headed to Alya's room. 

"This bed is so comfy!" Alya said while jumping onto it. "So when do you guy's want to go to bed?" 

"I am pretty tired..." Adrien commented. 

"Alright it's settled, why don't you go to your room Marinette-" 

I cut her off. "I don't want to..." 

"Marinette you need to go to your room..." Alya started. 

My heart by now was racing. I begged them, "Don't let him take me to the basement... don't let him..." The tears were now streaming down my face. 

Adrien and Alya looked at me with pity, they must think I was joking. I don't want to go back, I don't ever want to hurt people again. I started to shake, that's when Adrien and Alya actually looked concerned. I can't keep this secret for long, I just can't keep the monster inside me at bay.

Who are you calling monster! 

"Hey Alya can I talk to you," Adrien went over to the corner. I didn't care. I'm not going back. NEVER. 

Wow dramatic much? 

Shut up Moon. You can't feel things! You have no idea how much this hurts... 

I-, Moon feel silent. 

~Adrien's Head~ 

"Hey Alya... I think Marinette's real dad abused her." It made total sense, that's why she was so sad when I mentioned him hurting children. 

"Why would you think that?" 

"The way she acts. Why else would she hide the fact she's Afton, also explains her behavior. She doesn't trust this place yet. As her friends we should support her." 

"Alright, she can sleep with me. I can't believe Marinette never told us any of this..." Alya whispered. 

"Hey I don't know what that Sociopath did to Marinette, but don't bring it up. Last time I did, she looked so hurt..." 

"Alright I won't... We should head to bed. Bye Adrien." 

I walked away. On my way out I told Marinette she would be sleeping with Alya. Marinette looked relived, she hugged me. I wonder what her dad did to her... And I thought my dad was cruel.  I left the room to find Micheal waiting outside the door. He looked up at me. 

"How is she settling in?" 

I glared at him, "She needs time... Can I ask you a question?" 

Micheal looked surprised, "Yeah sure..." 

"Did your dad abuse you? I don't mean to bring up bad memories. It's just... Marinette seems really... she's just acting different."   

Micheal's face hardened. "He... I don't know what he did to Marinette... I only learned of her existence through his journals... I don't know why he hid her from us." 

Micheal seemed to be telling the truth. I walked away, soon reaching my room. I plopped onto the bed. Alya was right this bed was soft. 

"Where's my camembert!!! All this drama has me hungry!" 

"Plagg it's in my suitcase." 

"I am coming my love!" Plagg flew into my suitcase. I walked over and opened it. He came flying out, he was holding the stinky cheese. I sat back onto the bed. 

"Hey Plagg why do you think Marinette is acting so werid?" 

"Well you said it yourself, her dad probably abused her." 

"Yeah but... I don't know. She looks like she is trying to hide something..." 

Plagg mumbled something then he stuffed the cheese in his mouth. I watched him eat. I promised myself I would help Marinette... no matter what. 

~Time Skip/Marinette's Head~

Alya had already fallen asleep, I watched her drool over the pillow. Tikki flew out of her hiding spot and sat on my knee. 

"Marinette are you doing okay?" She asked. 

"Of course Tikki!" I smiled. Your such a bad liar... 

"You know you can tell me anything Marinette." 

Yeah Marinette tell your friend how you kill children for fun! 

"Shut up..." I rasped... I realized I said that out loud, Tikki looked hurt. "Oh no Tikki I am sorry... that was meant for someone else." 

"Who Marinette? It's just you and me in here." 

"It-" The door of Alya's room opened. I turned sharply to see a lady come in. She had orange hair like Elizabeth, but she was taller and older. Tikki hid quickly and I asked, "Who are you?" 

"I am l-looking for my daughter..." The lady looked sad. 

"Well I am here... what do you want?" 

"Can we talk privately? I promise this isn't a trick." 

I know I shouldn't have but I followed her out the room. We stood in the hallway, I leaned against the cold wall. 

"Are you really Afton?" She looked at me. I raised my hand and removed the contact. She looked at me and whispered... "Are you dead?"

"Yes I am..." 

"So you died a week after being born... I am glad to have you back. Are and how are you possessing an animatronic?" 

"I did not die from my lung collapsing, your so called husband killed me-" I stopped myself from talking anymore. Dang it Moon now you've hurt her feelings. She looked like she was about to cry. 

I took a breath and started to talk, "No don't think that he killed me as a baby... the truth is..."
