The Forgotten Bug

Honesty is Key

Chloe
As we me and my Love started to eat, the liar and Mr. Highroad come up to sit with us. Also in the distance I see Mari's family, but they aren't bothering us. I'll just focus on these two for now.
"What are the two of you doing here," Mari says angrily glaring at the both Lie-la and A*srien.
"M-m-m-marinette wh-what d-did I e-ever d-do to y-you Everything?" Lie-la says. to her
"Do you want a list?" my Love asks sassily. "Both of you leave now before you face the consequences."
Lila says something that I couldn't hear, so I strain my ears and hear her say, "Marinette, I took almost everything from you, so just give up already. You wouldn't want to loose the people you have left would you? I know how to ruin their lives till the point they'll leave you you wouldn't dare, so how do you want to play the easy way or the hard way?"
    Lie-la " innocently" looks at Mari whom in return glares at her.
    "How about the wolf way What now?," she says confusing me.
I look at Lie-la who's gaze is in my Love looking at her like she's crazy. I turn my attention back to Marinette to see her surrounded in white smoke. Out of the smoke, I see WOLF PAWS!?!?
A white wolf exits and growls lowly at Lie-la then pounces on her. Cat woman pulls the wolf off of Lie-la. The wolf then transforms into Marinette. She leaves with me to explain, but her family try's to come up to her only to be pushed aside and ignored.
    Once we get back to our hotel room, I turn to her and exclaim, "What in the world was that!!"
    "One of the things I was afraid to explain to you," Mari says looking down ashamed.
    "There's more than one?!" I say a little hurt.
    "I haven't told them to anyone though. Some my family knew, but the rest they don't," she says still ashamed.
"Can you at least explain?" I ask.
    "I guess," Mari says with her head bowed.
    I look at her waiting for her to start explaining.
    "Some of my secrets are at the fault of the Miracle Box while others aren't," she begins. "I'm a technically a tribrid because of the the guardianship. The 'Witch' portion is the magic of all the kwamis flowing inside of me that learned to manipulate. The 'Vampire' part is Sass's fault because I now have retractable fangs like a vampire/snake and sometimes drunk blood because of it. The 'Werewolf' part, which you have seen,  is an effect as a combination from Trixx, Barkk, and Howll and their canine backgrounds."
"O-okay, anything else," I ask worriedly.
"All of that makes me no longer human and kind of a wolf god. As you will likely be mad at me for, I kinda haven't really slept the week before we left on this trip because of the nightmares I've had of loosing you and our friends by Hawkmoth winning," Marinette continues with.
I continue to listen to what she has to say trying figure out how to help her.
    "I've been drinking black coffee to stay awake this whole time. Lastly, I um..." she suddenly cuts off.

"... Lastly, I um..." I cut off a little nervous to finish telling Chloe if everything I need to tell her.
"What is the last thing Love?" Chloe asks.
"Can I tell you another time," I whisper timidly.
"I guess," Chloe says clearly sad that couldn't tell her yet.
"It's just really hard to tell you this," I tell her.
"Just tell me when you're ready dear," Chloe says.
I'm so glad she's so understanding though I'll have to tell her eventually.
