⭐Marinette⭐

I got out of bed excited for the long weekend and the fact that I was meeting up with Alya today. We had plans to go to some café she's been recommending to me for ages.

I got ready, putting on a lightweight maxi dress with long puff sleeves, which I chose due to the beautiful weather, but I also don't want anyone to see how god awful I look when I'm not all covered up, and it was the perfect dress for that.

I then did my makeup, put on some jewellery, slid into my shoes and grabbed my stuff shoving it in my tote bag as I left.

I met Alya at this cute aesthetic café not 5 minutes from my place.

Alya was already sitting at a table when I arrived and waved me over. As I approached the table she stood up and gave me a big hug then we both sat down at the table.

"This place is absolutely gorgeous" I looked around in amazement.

The café made it seem like we were in some castle's garden where you would generally have some sort of high tea. I couldn't believe that this was smack bang in the middle of the city.

"I know right, I can't believe you've never been here before, its so close to your place" she said in slight amazement. "you going to get anything to eat or drink?"

"Yeah, something small though probably" I replied

We flagged down the waiter and ordered our stuff.

As we waited for the drinks and food come Alya and I caught up on things. She told me all about this internship she had just gotten with some big time journalist, I'm so proud of her this is her dream. She also told me all about her blog and how popular it was getting and how she had started to earn money from it because of how well its going. I was just amazed and so proud of her and her hard work.

I told her some stuff about school and Felix, she then has the audacity to tell me that Felix "most definitely" likes me. I think all that work she's doing has made her a little crazy

We soon finished our food and drinks, then paid. She and I both had taken lots of photos of everything in that café.

We left and headed for the park, which was a bit further away from home, but it was fine, we hangout and talked a bit more there. A little while later she had to leave so we gave each other a massive hug and she left. I stayed in the park for a little while more doing some drawing and designing. Once I started struggling to think of ideas for my designs, I decided it was the right time to go home, so I left.

As I walked home I went through an alleyway, but I was careful and had made sure it was well lit and easy to see from the main streets. Apparently, I wasn't careful enough.

About halfway down the alley some guy came out from the side of the dumpster holding a gun and pointed it at me. I froze in shock and out of fear.

'what the fuck?! This can't be happening'

He started shouting at me to give him everything I had on me, I was shaking like there was no tomorrow but I did what he said and gave him everything on me.

He then gave me an evil grin and my stomach sank even more than it already had, he told me to take everything off, my dress, shoes and underwear. I was petrified.

Shaking I took my dress off and it fell on the floor, his smile just grew wider as I started crying. I didn't know what to do, there wasn't anything I could do but obey.

All of a sudden, I hear a thud on the dumpster, it was chat noir. The guy tried shotting at him but chat noir was too quick and had moved out of the way.

The focus was no longer on me and I was a tiny bit relieved but I felt so ashamed and sunk down hugging my knees with tears streaming down my face

⭐Chat Noir⭐

I was so mad, I had dealt with guys like him before but for some reason I felt even more angry this time.

Marinette was in the corner crouched down just sobbing and all I wanted to do was make all this go away for her.

Once I had a hold of the guy I just started punching him repeatedly, I just couldn't stop, I didn't want to stop.

"Chat Noir you're going to kill him" I hear faintly from Marinette between sobs which snaps me back to reality.

I tie him up and call the police. I turn to Marinette who's in just her bra and underwear, and I feel so awful that I'm seeing her like this, but then I really see her and holy shit was I in shock she looked almost malnourished, she had no muscle nor any fat, she was completely unhealthy, my heart sank for her.

I was able to not show my shock and quickly grabbed her dress and handed it to her and turned around and guarded her so she could get changed.

Not long after the police then arrived and took him into custody and took our statements.

"Marinette?" I called out to her

"Yeah?" she replied and walked towards me

"Would you like me to take you home?" I asked shyly.

"Yes please" she smiles

I pick her up bridal style and tell her to hold on to me and I take us straight to her balcony and put her down.

"Thank you Kitty" she gives me a kiss on the cheek and I feel my face get warmer.

"Anytime" I smile "unfortunately I have to go but you take care of yourself, ok?"

"Ok" she replies

I give her a small kiss on the forehead and leave

Sorry this chapter was so bad I kinda had in my head where I wanted this chapter to go but i couldn't exactly think of the best way to go about it so I just went with my first thought, i hope it wasn't too bad <3

Love you all <3
