Whitewashed Dreams (A Chat blanc Story)

❦BEQUEATH!❦

I think this is the shortest chapter in the whole book, tell me if you guys prefer shorter chapters or longerrrrrrr ones

~~~

In Chat's original world, year 20##

I wake up from this dream. A paradise of a world. No point in dreaming in those kind unrealistic scenarios. I am in hell. Better live with it and accept my fate.

I deserve this.

I kick some rumbles from the makeshift bed I made last night. Time to get on the move, again . I look at the corpses, rotting . I secure a bag full of canned food. Those are for survivors, if I find any.

My stomach growls.

I am hungry, I need food.

I slap myself. I don't even need to eat with this suit. The idea of chewing brings me back to a much older, simpler times. But they are dead. I kill it. I am responsible for this mess.

A world where there are no dragon speaking to you offering some oranges.***

A day later

Been a whole day, and to be honest I don't know much about Jay. He seems friendly but what it his deal? What and who is he?

"So Jay... care to explain who you are?" I ask

"Its ABOUT TIME! so hi there! My name is Jay Walker and I'm a Ninja. I'm one of the original members of a team team of ninjas and I have lightning powers. I'm known for my quick thinking and my sense of humour, which always seems to annoy the rest of the team haha Growing up, I was always interested in mechanics and engineering, which is why I love inventing new weapons and vehicles to help us on our missions. I'm a big fan of action and adventure, and-"

"Ok I don't need to know your whole life story, I ain't interested in that, just why you are here..."

"Well, being a ninja has given me the opportunity to put my skills to the test and to make a difference in the world. I've been through some tough battles. Whether we're fighting against evil resurrected skeletons, giant snakes, ghost, pirates or onis, we've always been able to come out on top. Now with peace upon my lands, well Mj recruited me a couple of months ago and since then

"How long have you been practising that speech?

"Since the morning... was it good?

"Yeah works, a bit cheesy but works"

"BEQUEATH! Anyways, I need to go now, will call you later when I get more info on what I need to do with you..."

~~~

A couple of hours later

"UNO!" screams Plagg, doing a mini dance and flips in the air.

"HOW!?! I feel you are cheating here.... YOU ARE AREN'T YOU?!?!"

"And done, thats 9 wins for me, try to be better next time kid." and one of the strongest kwami in the world left the game to nibble on other snacks.

RING DRIIIING RING

Another phone call...great. Well I can't really ignored it so I pick it up. Might be Jay.

"Chat, Adrien, wait which one do you prefer? Anyways come meet me up at Jardin des Plantes. MJ called and we established a plan. He said also to make you 'move your arse' because staying cooped up in one place is totally unhealthy. And I AGREE GO MOVE YOUR LEGS! Bequeath!"

"Alright heading there."

"Hey kid... do you hear that?" says Plagg

"Hear what?" As those words leave my mouth, . Something is trying to get in? Someone?

"Sounds like something is moving....?" Plagg whispers

"Jay....?"

"Shuuuuush!"

We hear more and more noises. What in the world... Definitely footsteps... Multiple footsteps. Unless Jay grew a couple of extra legs, this does not sound any good. Now mumbles can be heard. Merde this is an AMBUSH ATTACK!

PLAAAAAAGGG? 

Then suddenly the 3 walls explodes simultaneously and a couple of armed men in uniform, the same as the apartment, barge in. 

Ah crap too late, can't transformed in front of these people

"HEY YOU!  HANDS IN THE AIR! WHERE IS CHAT BLANC?!"

"I am not Chat... Uh blanc? I know Chat Noir, great guy very friendly too. Can say he is paw-tastic."

Yeah I blew it

"Jim I don't think he is the one we are looking for..."

"Of course not dummy, this guy HID HIM! GET HIM!"

Well...shit that doesn't make it better

"No no of course not I don't even know HEY WHATS THAT!" I shout as I point at the table across the room.

"What?" They all look towards it. Yes this is my chance to escape. 

I push two of the guards and run out of the hole they made coming in.

Time to run

 I am in the street in broad daylight, can't really transform out here either in front of the civilian. I Can't really just go behind a bench in a park or transform, or in public restroom, or just in a place I think it's hidden but it's obvious. I run in the alleyways and see for any potential hiding spot, with no success. For a moment I lose them, so I take a couple of seconds of rest.  Even as I caught my breath, I knew that I couldn't let my guard down. Those armed men were still out there, still looking for me. I needed to figure out why they were after me and how I could protect myself. I hear them coming... I can hear them coming from all sides

Sh!t they here

I quickly realized that the only way out was up. I looked up and saw a fire escape ladder leading to the roof of the building. I made a run for it, dodging bullets and jumping over obstacles as I went. One bullet flew only a couple of centimetre from my right ear. I finally reached the ladder and started climbing as fast as I could. 

I started climbing as fast I can. I look down for a moment and see that some of those dudes are also climbing, but slower because of their guns and equipment. I finally reach the top and drag myself to the roof. I take a moment to catch my breath and assess my surroundings. I could see the armed men down below, shouting and pointing in my direction. I knew I had a limited amount of time before they reached me, mere seconds, maybe a minute at most. I start running across the roof, searching for a way down.

I spot a roof access door and ran towards it. Dammit, it's lock! I tried the handle again, but it won't budge. I started to feel a sense of desperation setting in, and I can hear them coming. I can't afford to transform back... I just got my body back.I don't really have a place to run to. Do I have much of a choice?

I ran to the other side of the building and I look down. I see a couple of clothes on multiple line drying. I guess I got to jump. Hopefully it will cushion my fall.

Great

And with a leap of faith, and desperation, I jump.
