Night watcher, I am Chloe Bourgeois! || Miraculous Ladybug

27: Field trip (9)

. . . My eyes widened when realization hit.

Reflecta. . .

Julika!!

I was about to run to the place where I left Julika but I felt a hand grabbing mine the moment I was about to run.

"Where are you going!? We must run! Like everyone else!" It was Luka.

"For god sake! Reflecta! She is Julika!"

His eyes widened horror.

I freed my hands and started running.

It was then when it hit me.

I let out a smile with a tense expression as a sweat dropped from behind my ears.

"As I said, he is smart. That Hawkmoth!"

So this was his plan this whole time.

He has to get to Luka at any cost this time but I was coming here too — his possibly biggest threat of the plan is presuming that Ladybug and Cat Noir cannot be able to be here.

At that time it was only Gabriel that was missing and not Natalie. That means Natalie's main job here was to keep watch on me 𝘢𝘯𝘥 to inform Hawkmoth of my whereabouts.

When she saw that I was with Julika and Luka was not with us she reported him which, thanks to my speed run, ended up with a dead akuma as a result.

So then they proceed for their backup plan and their ace here.

Julika.

Luka's twin whom he adores and for god sake, Gabriel knows that.

This whole time Julika was practically isolated and I find it all normal, never even considering the fact that maybe —just maybe — this whole situation was manipulated by Gabriel and Natalie.

They 𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘦 sure that she was isolated for the backup.

"I got to give him that: this time he really outsmarted my level of smartness."

Or is it my brain that has started to rust?

Doesn't matter now.

I noticed that Luka was also dashing behind me.

On the way, I ran across around ten 'reflecta-lised' people.

They were fleeting in a mad rush.

Before there was hardly anyone here and now we have a whole crowd? Where are they coming from!?

I rushed, cutting through the crowd.

When I was almost about to reach there I bumped onto Rose.

"ROSE?" I shouted.

"CHLOE? AND LUKA TOO!?"

"Thank god! I found someone!"

"Are you all ok!?" Asked Luka to everyone.

I scanned around to find Dupain-Cheng, Agreste, Natalie, Zoe, Alya, Mylene, Kim, Max, Sabrina and Neno.

Looks like people have ended up getting separated and mixing together in the frenzy.

"No time for that! We need to run! Reflecta is right there!" Rose pointed at the villain in pink.

Yeah, ok. She was right in front of us reflecta-lising random people.

"YET AGAIN!" Shouted Reflecta. "Yet again I was left alone! No one noticed me!! Even my own brother!! You all left me yet again!! " and reflecta-lised yet another person.
