In the wrong hands

Chapter 3

Marinette
I rush into the bathroom but not before I feel hot tears splashing my freckled cheeks. I quickly open the door to a lone stall and shut the door. I sit on the toilet and hug my knees to my chest as I release my concealed sobs. My whole body was racked with emotion and though I knew it was dangerous I let the sadness consume me. I thought of anything and everything I could have done to save Chat. It was my fault that Chat had fallen. If I didn't get tired I probably could had saved him. I cry and sob with everything within me. I think about how his family is probably worried sick that their son hasn't come home by now. I think of the future he would of had, of someday being the number one superhero instead of a "side kick". I sniffle and wipe my nose as I hear the light fluttering of what seems to be wings. I look up in horror and see an Akuma right in front of me. I shriek as I try to get out of the stall without becoming akumatized. I push the stall open with my foot and duck under the butterfly to exit the stall. I run out of the bathroom and lean up against the door panting. My heart feels like it's trying to fly out of my chest as I I think of the possibility of becoming akumatized. I shudder and put a clammy hand to my forehead. I know what I need to do now. I need to find Chat.

Chat

I feel myself swmming in darkness. Nothing seems real anymore. Is it possible that I'm in the middle of nothingness while life moves on? I see images every once in a while but there're in a blur, my mind can't grasp anything right now. I start to worry. What if someone finds me right now? How am i as Adrien supposed to explain how I got this high up on a building? I worry that my identity has been released. I mean surely someone has noticed that Adrien went missing the same day Chat Noir did. But how long exactly have I been here? Who knows if it's been hours or months since I went missing. I want to shudder at the thought but I can't get my body to cooperate. Who needs Chat Noir anyways? They have ladybug to take care of Paris, considering I'm only a side kick. I think bitterly. Who needs Adrien? I mean except to model clothes that his robot of a father make. I am almost scared as to where these thoughts have come from. I didn't really think that, did I? I decide that maybe I am important and that maybe I should try to save my life. I'll do it for my lady. I think determinedly. I try with all my might to move even a finger. But I find that I can't feel anything. OH MY GOD! AM I DEAD?? no that couldn't possibly be, right?

During our lunch hour Alya decides that we should look for Chat Noir.

"Just think of how happy Ladybug will be once she finds out that we found Chat!" Alya says excitedly.
"Maybe she will tell me her secret identity!" Ayla says, making my eyes widen in fear. Would I give up my identity for Chat? Of course I would. I scoff in my head. Chat was very important to me, more than I ever knew.

"Let's go check the building where they were fighting first." Alya said, taking charge and heading straight for the Eiffel Tower. I gulp and follow her to a place of memories.
