Control For Love

Chapter 5

Dark Heart fell to the ground, again, holding her hand over her cheek were she had been hit.

"His miraculous was in your grasp! And you couldn't perform that ONE TASK!!!" Hawkmoth yelled as he kicked her in her stomach causing her to yell in pain when she hit the ground.

She clutched her stomach and shakily got back to her knees. She wiped the blood away from her mouth as she glared at him.

"Do I need to remind you what happens if you don't fulfill your end of the deal" he raised his hand towards her and her arm started to shake uncontrollably.

She tried to fight back with what strength she had, until she was thrown across the room again, hitting the wall.

She slowly recovered and stood up, having to use the wall to balance herself. She took a couple of deep breaths before spitting out out blood.

"Our deal was I get my revenge and you get your precious miraculous" Dark Heart mocked.

"Yes, but when your part comes, you fail!" He argued.

"I won't fail you next time-"

"No you will not. Because if you make a stupid mistake like that again, I'll strip your powers away" He threatened.

"Well I can't do anything without my yo-yo, that stupid, stray ally cat destroyed it-!"

"Then you'll have to improvise, won't you" he said darkly.

Dark Heart had gotten impatient with him and she ran to attack, only to have him turn and hit her in the ribs. Hard.

She held her, soon to be bruised, mark as she attempted another attack, but he was too fast and she was on the floor again, staining it with her blood.

He came over and kicked her again. She wanted to retaliate, but she didn't have the physical strength to do so; so she lay there defenseless, unable to do anything to protect herself.

...

"Here you go guys" Adrien said, as he gave the two kwamis some food, that he snuck in, which they happily munched on.

Adrien walked over to his window, leaning against it and looked out to the streets of Paris.

"Don't worry Adrien, we'll get her back" Tikki sqeaked, as she ate her cookie.

"And how do we do that?" Plagg chimed up, admiring his cheese like it was his world.

Adrien hovered his hand over his stomach, where Dark Heart had attacked him, remembering it like it had just happened. But he also remembered how he saw her and that she was still in there.

Vengance and power was not something that those bluebell eyes would hold; they were the eyes of an innocent girl.

"...And I'm not going to forget that! I'm not going to forget who you really are and who you are to me! I'm NOT giving up on you!" Adriens promise to her rang through his head. He was going to save her no matter what, he just needed to figure out how.

"First we figure out how to take the akuma out of her..." Adrien trailed off, thinking out loud. "...but we can't break the earrings, like usual, because that's her miraculous..." he continued, now talking to no one in particular. He went quiet for a few moment, thinking.

"Ugh! If only there was some way we could just... force the akuma-" his eyes widened in realisation "-out of her, Tikki!" The small kwami looked up, giving Adrien a wide eyed confused and worried look.
