Lila
"The dinner was nice," Felix said, sitting beside her on the grand stairs of the Agreste mansion.
"I suppose," Lila said in return, looking away. After Adrien had left, Gabriel had taken her through a tunnel in the walls, twisting and turning throughout the entire mansion. "Lila, you have an interest in my son, don't you?" Lilas cheeks heated. "Um, I suppose he's, quite attractive, yes."
His expression didn't change. He continued to lead her through the paths, eventually stopping in a dimly lit room with a butterfly-like dome in the front. "Mr. Agreste... where...?"
"Nooroo, Dusu, dual metamorphosis!"
The man in front of her was no longer Gabriel Agreste. She backed up into the wall and Shadow Moth stalked towards her. "For almost a year now I have tried effortlessly to acquire the Miraculous of Ladybug and Chat Noir. For a year now I have failed over, and over, again, desperately trying over and over but never succeeding. I have decided to take a different approach now."
He continued to corner her, until she had nowhere left to go. "Ladybug is a mere teenager- probably no more than fifteen. I need someone who thinks like her, acts like her, knows her." He smiled devilishly. "I need you Lila Rossi."
She wanted to run. To forget about everything and move far far away. But instead she found herself saying...
"Yes Shadow Moth. I will help you."
Lila shuddered at the memory. It had only happened an hour or so ago and she already hated herself for accepting. Yes she hated Ladybug with all her heart for ruining her chances with Adrien, but at the same time she didn't want to hurt anyone. Well, physically at least. She had a feeling he wouldn't have given her much of a choice either way though.
"It was entertaining," she added.
"He told you, didn't he?" Felix asked, looking at her. "You know."
"Know what?" She said, staring straight ahead. Better to not trust him yet. Who knew who he was or what he was capable of.
He smirked. "I knew it. I knew that was why he invited you."
"I have no idea what you're talking about," she said, staring at him incredulously.
"Why did you agree to help him?" Felix asked just as calmly. "You and I are way too smart to simply work for him. You know that."
She said nothing.
"Felixxxxx dear! Come now!" He stood up, turning around one more time to face her. "Lie all you want Lila, but you and I both have the same plan- and if you don't put yours into action soon... I will." She said nothing as he calmly walked down the stairs to his limousine. He met her eyes, smirked, then got in the car and drove away.
I will lie all I want. She thought. I will lie to you and to everyone else. And you will not win.
