Aichmophobia (MLB)

Chapter four

_____

It had been a few day since Stoneheart's attack, and so far no one else had been possessed by another butterfly.

Mico was walking to his next class with Adrien and Nino when he was hit with the need to go to the the restroom.

"Sorry guys, nature calls." He told them, before walking off in search of a restroom.

He has to wander through the school for awhile, opening any doors he knows aren't classrooms, since he hasn't needed to go while at school before, and gets lost without realizing before he finds a restroom.

Once he finishes Mico walks out and looks around in confusion. What the... Where am I?

"Is anyone still around?" He calls out. "I need some help finding my class!"

As Mico walks around he passes an open door, and glance over at it. Well that was rude of them, I wonder who left it open?

Walking over with the intent to close it and be on his way, Mico doesn't realize there's someone behind him till it's to late. Another student who's trying to get to class runs past him, bumping into Mico as they go and accidentally shoving him off balance, causing him to tumble into the room he was trying to close, and since his hand was on the door as he fell he pulls it closed behind him.

The student didn't see Mico, only the door to the cellar closing. "Isn't that supposed to be locked?" They mutter, then dart over, lock it, and continue running, not realizing they just locked Mico in.

Mico, who was sitting on the floor, not realizing what had happened since his eyes were closed, looks up when he hears the lock clicking into place, eyes going wide once he sees his surroundings.

He's in a dark hallway, with small stairs leading up to the door he came from. Glancing around for some kind of other exit, he sees a large room on the other end of the hallway, which is also really dark.

Trying not to fall into a panic, Mico shakily stands up and darts to the door, banging on it with his fists and calling out. "Hey! Is someone out there? This isn't funny!"

After pounding on the door and calling out till his throat hurts, Mico sinks to the floor and leans his back against the door, burying his face in his knees as his breathing gets quicker and more erratic. Don't panic don't panic.

Fumbling for his bag, he reaches in and pulls out a fidget cube, his Mom had gotten it for him to see if it would help with his panic attacks. Don't panic don't panic don't-

All the sudden time seems to freeze, trapping Mico in a state of hazy half panic. His vision narrows, the edges fading into a dark purple as a voice resonates through his head.

"Greetings Shadow Weaver, I am Hawk Moth. Till now you've let the dark control you, now you will be it's master and punish those who ignored your cries for help. All I ask in return are Ladybug and Chat Noir's Miraculous."

"A-alright."

It was lunch time and Adrien and Nino were getting worried about Mico.

"Hey guys, have any of you seen Mico?" Adrien asks as they walk to the lunchroom with the rest of class.

"Yeah, we haven't seen him since he went to use the restroom." Nino adds. "We assumed he just went to his next class, since he wasn't in our next class, but he vanished."

Rose, who was in Mico's next class, comes over and says. "No actually, he didn't show. I figured he was just taking care of something, but come to think of it I haven't seen him since our second class."
