The Princess and Her Criminal

Is Alya Okay?

Third Person Pov
Alya recognized the voice. Her hands begun sweating and her vision blurred. "You're-" she didn't finish her sentence but instead pushed the door with all her strength, which wasn't much considering the fact that she was on the verge of fainting. "I already warned you! Let go, I just want to talk!" The male shouted, anger evident in his voice. Alya knew she couldn't hold the door for long and she had no clue how long she'd be able to keep her eyes open. She needed to tell Marinette! "Promise you won't hurt me?" She asked, still leaning against the door. "Promise." Alya knew it was a lie, but she also knew that he'd get in soon and she'd rather not be gone without any clues left behind. "Okay..." She trailed off to sound more believable. "Sorry about the cloth, I wanted to avoid the hastle, but it clearly didn't work." Alya nodded as she watched the man make his way to her couch. Her parents weren't home as yet. She took out her phone and quickly messaged her boyfriend, [😫🔪🦋😰😴🏠📲] Her vision wavered from blur to clear constantly and her head started spinning. She knew she didn't have enough time to send words so she clicked send and hoped he'd ask Marinette about it. The man on her couch seemed to be talking about something but she couldn't hear anything, her legs buckled beneath her as she hid her messages. She turned on 'Stalk Your Friends' and placed her phone in her bag. She braced against a wall and made her way to her kitchen, quietly picking up a knife and hiding it in her jeans' waist just before collapsing. She say the dark purple suit that the male was wearing and felt herself being lifted onto a shoulder before completely losing her consciousness.

Meanwhile, Marinette, Nino, Adrien and Sabine were training on Unexpected attacks and Surrounding Usuage. Phones weren't allowed during training and thus Nino didn't see the message until 2 hours later. "Uh... Guys?! Come here!" Nino shouted from the living room as he stared at his phone in confusion. But he knew one thing for sure, Alya was in trouble. Adrien was the first to reach since he was in the kitchen, next was Sabine and finally Marinette came rushing in, her hair still wet. "I think Alya's in trouble!" Marinette's eyes widened as the call from earlier that day popped into her head. "I can't fully understand the text though. However, it was sent two hours and three minutes ago!" Is Alya even alive? Tears formed in her eyes as the thought of Alya being dead popped into her head. Without thinking Marinette grabbed the phone, "Emojis? She's either being lazy or needed to send this quickly... Let's hope it's the first." The others nodded, Nino snatching back his phone so he could show the others. "Huh?  It looks like she's... constipated? Trying to kill a butterfly? Is scared and tired? At home and a phone? What does that mean?" Adrien thought aloud. "Oh dear, no. Marinette what do you think? You and Alya text alot using emojis when you're lazy or too busy to talk." Sabine stated, not even attempting to translate. "I can try, we usually talk in half emoji-half words." She paused thinking before continuing, "Alright, let's see... don't understand the first... killing a butterfly? No... knife butterfly... No... moth? Oh! A moth, Hawkmoth-" Nino gasped, it made sense, couldn't she just put a hawk emoji and the butterfly emoji? Marinette stayed silent for a while, occasionally shaking her head 'no' before shouting something, "She was drugged and feels like fainting! She's obviously home and I think she wants us to use her phone to find her somehow?" Adrien questionably stared at his girlfriend, "We don't have her phone though." Marinette pouted, he was right, but she thought she figured it out... "Maybe she left it in the house?" Sabine shaked her head, finally stating her opinion "I doubt that, though it's a possibility. However, I think Marinette is correct. We may not have her phone but Marinette and Alya both have a tracker on their phones... for some unknown reason to me." Marinette awkwardly nodded, Nino and Adrien weren't suppose to know about that but her bestfriend was in danger so she didn't care (at the moment). Marinette slipped out her phone and clicked on the black and pink icon. "I got the location, it's moving though. They haven't stopped as yet so it's most likely a kidnapping. We have some time. Let's investigate her house first! Might find something useful. So go get ready and walk with your suits, maman and I did some upgrades to them!" Everyone nodded and left to prepare. Half an hour later they left the base and quickly made their way to Alya's home. It took about 20 minutes but they arrived safely. They explored the house, nothing seemed to be out of place, except for the fact that the door was opened with the keys still in the knob. Nino broke down to tears as soon as they walked inside but quickly recovered. They spent about 15 minutes search but to no avail. Afterward, they decided to follow the tracker since it had finally stopped. Marinette saved the location since she suspected that Hawkmoth would either break Alya's phone or power it off. And as usual, she was correct, a few minutes the signal disappeared and they had to use the saved location. Sabine knew that wasn't the location that they'll keep Alya but it was definitely going to be nearby so they'd cross that bridge when the time arrives.

Enjoy your day my butterflies! And remember, you're beautiful/handsome and amazing just the way you are!😁
