Infected

Ladybug darted to the Akuma's side, ducking under its arm and conjuring a dagger to cut the object from the chain around the Akuma's neck. Ladybug swung the arm holding the dagger, only for the Akuma to grab her arm and wrench the dagger free.

"Thank you." Sneered the Akuma, before plunging the dagger deep into Ladybug's side.

The Akuma leaned forwards, allowing Ladybug to rip the chain off their neck. The Akuma fluttered out and Ladybug caught it in her yoyo. She purified the butterfly and cast her Miraculous Ladybug. The scars that adorned the Eiffel Tower vanished, but the burning pain in her side remained. Ladybug looked down and saw the dagger was still in her side. Ladybug looked at the Akuma victim, before carefully wrapping an arm around them and taking them to the ground.

"Can you make your way home from here?" Asked Ladybug, looking at the citizen.

The citizen nodded and started to walk off, leaving Ladybug to head to the rooftops before she de-transformed. Ladybug just made it to her balcony, the dagger still in her side, it had to stay in to prevent her from bleeding out...right? Her transformation fell and the burning pain became blistering agony. Marinette looked down at the blade and wrapped her hand around the leather-bound handle. She quickly clamped her hand over the wound, as Tikki spotted it and flew off to get the first aid kit.

Marinette examined the dagger, the blade was roughly half the length of her forearm. On one side of the blade, it was serrated and on the other it was curved. Marinette's first thought was that it was a hunting knife, before Tikki returned.

"You need to go to a hospital, Marinette." Said Tikki, looking up at her chosen.

"And say what? I got stabbed fighting an Akuma as Ladybug?" Questioned Marinette, lifting her shirt up, "I don't think it hit anything important."

"That's not the point, Marinette!" Protested Tikki, as Marinette put anti-septic onto the wound, "What if it gets infected?"

"Tikki, that only happens if the wound isn't cleaned," Sighed Marinette, carefully threading a needle, "I cleaned the wound, and this is going to hurt like hell."

Tikki winced and looked away as Marinette stitched herself back up, "I still think you need to go to the hospital."

"Tikki, I'll be fine, what's the worst that can happen?" Asked Marinette, climbing down into her room and carefully settling herself down into her bed.

Marinette scowled at the maths problem in front of her. It'd been a week since she had that knife jammed into her side and it was killing her, Lila had tried to trip her up and it was boiling. Thankfully, there hadn't been an akuma today.

"Alright everyone, complete the problem you're currently on and hand them in." Said the Teacher, making Marinette sigh.

Alya glanced at Marinette's paper, "Er, girl, you've only done three questions."

"Sorry, it was really difficult." Excused Marinette, collecting the papers and walking up to the teacher's desk.

"Marinette, is everything alright?" Asked the teacher, frowning, "You look like you're burning up."

"It's nothing." Dismissed Marinette, handing the papers to them.

They had PE next, Marinette hoped that no one would question the vest she was wearing. No one even noticed she was wearing a vest, it hurt to move her arms. Marinette stumbled slightly and shook her head to get rid of the black spots appearing in her vision.
