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

Is this a fever dream? (3)

The window has started to freeze as the view beyond began to blurred out. The temperature started to drop noticeably.

We are in some god damned situation.

I curled in my jacket and rubbed my arms as I was reminded again why I never liked winters.

Others were in the same position as me. Some were hugging each other while others were hugging themselves.

I sighed shakingly.

"Everyone, let's return to our class. It's better to stay together in large groups in cold temperatures."

Some shared worried glances, while others looked at me questionably.

"Wouldn't that be dangerous? The villain might be just around the corner," a girl said.

"Wouldn't it be more dangerous to stay here in a small group? I don't know about the other classes but our and this class can make a group of sufficient people to provide some kind of heat in the room.
          We all will out cold, or even worse, if we don't take the risk."

The room filled with suspicious eyes.

"I will not force anyone. That was just a suggestion. Follow if you want or I will be going now."

I glanced at Alix and Kim.

Getting my signal, they nodded.

Then, I turned to Nathaniel.

"Nathaniel, the three of us are returning. It is up to you to follow or not, same for you, Marc."

Nathaniel was indecisive of what to do as he looked between me and Marc.

Marc step up.

"I will follow you."

"What? But why?" Some guy asked.

"Nathaniel came all this way for me. I can't just have him leave me when he took such great measures for me or let him be left behind by his classmates that might put him in danger. That's why I'm going."

If Marc will leave than only four students will be left here. That would be highly disadvantageous and dangerous.

But I shall not force them. They too understand the situation and the possible outcomes but are also succumbing to more confusion and fear.

I didn't move, neither did Alex, Kim, Nathaniel or Marc. We all waited for their answer. A yes or a no, there was no in-between.

"I will go," a blonde girl raised her hands.

"Me too," the girl beside her too.

"I will too," then the guys followed.

"It will be stupid to stay behind alone then. I will go as well."

The decision was made.

"Alright, then. Take your phone and only the necessary things, and also something to use for self defense... What are your names again?"

"Marc Anciel."

"Aurore Beaureal."

"Mireille Caquet."

"Jean Duparc."

"Loid Fransis."

They gave their names, then it was only natural to give ours.

"Chloé Bourgeois."

"Alix Kubdel."

"Lê Chiến Kim, you can call me Kim. "
